Cam Akers Progressing Rapidly In Year 2

Los Angeles Rams running back Cam Akers saw his stock fluctuate a lot throughout his rookie season. After starting the year with a rib injury that forced him to miss time throughout the year, he totaled 635 yards on the ground over his final seven games, including 121 with two touchdowns in his two playoff […]

Michael Pierce Suffers Calf Injury

Minnesota Vikings defensive tackle Michael Pierce (calf) suffered a calf injury while training, and his availability for the start of training camp is now in doubt, according to a source. Pierce might wind up missing some time this month, but it's not expected to keep him off the field to begin the regular season. The […]

Steelers Hosting Melvin Ingram Monday

The Pittsburgh Steelers are hosting veteran free-agent pass-rusher Melvin Ingram for a visit on Monday, according to a source. Ingram has also received interest from the Kansas City Chiefs and Miami Dolphins. The Steelers have a big need for an edge rusher after Bud Dupree left this offseason, and Ingram, a three-time Pro Bowler, could […]

Matthew Stafford Ready For Big 2021

The Los Angeles Rams made a big swing this offseason for quarterback Matthew Stafford to upgrade over former quarterback Jared Goff, who is now with the Detroit Lions. Stafford has been one of the most impressive quarterbacks in the NFL over his 12-year career. While Stafford has been held back by a subpar Lions franchise, […]

Jaguars Sign First-Rounder Travis Etienne Jr.

The Jacksonville Jaguars agreed to terms with first-round running back Travis Etienne on his four-year rookie deal on Monday, according to a source. Like fellow first-round quarterback Trevor Lawrence, Etienne (the No. 25 overall pick) will receive no offset language in his deal and a large amount of his signing bonus upfront. The Clemson product […]

Terry McLaurin Anticipates More One-On-One Matchups

The Washington Football Team addressed their need for a more explosive offense this offseason with the additions of quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick and wide receivers Curtis Samuel, Dyami Brown and Adam Humphries. Terry McLaurin was the only threat that Washington had out wide in 2020. In 2021, he envisions opposing defenses having more respect for the rest of […]

Olamide Zaccheaus Listed As Team's Third Wideout

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Olamide Zaccheaus is listed as the team's third wideout with training camp a little over a week away. Zaccheaus played in 11 games last year, the second season of his career, tallying 20 receptions for 274 yards with one touchdown. The 23-year-old played a limited role in the offense last season […]

Cole Beasley A Candidate To Be Released?

While it's unlikely, the possibility of the Buffalo Bills releasing veteran wide receiver Cole Beasley this summer shouldn't be entirely ruled out. If Beasley were to be released, he'd save the team $5.341 million against this year's salary cap. His dead-money hits over the next two years would be $2 million and $1.5 million respectively, […]

Mario Addison's Roster Spot May Be In Jeopardy

Buffalo Bills defensive end Mario Addison's roster spot could be in jeopardy this summer after the team drafted defensive ends Greg Rousseau and Boogie Basham in the first two rounds. They are both guaranteed roster spots heading into their rookie seasons. Addison signed a three-year deal last offseason, but he had just five sacks in […]

Chris Conley Among Veteran Receivers Who Could Earn Snaps

While the Houston Texans know that Brandin Cooks will be starting at outside receiver and one of Randall Cobb or Keke Coutee will get slot snaps, the competition for the other outside receiver role is a huge toss-up heading into camp. Rookie Nico Collins might be the long-term solution, but after not playing last season, […]

Randall Cobb, Keke Coutee Will Compete For Slot Snaps

The Houston Texans have a lot of new faces at wide receiver this season, but the battle for slot snaps is expected to be between two players who were on last year's team, with Randall Cobb and Keke Coutee competing for those minutes. Cobb was limited to 10 games last season because of injury, catching […]

Marquez Callaway Aims To Build On Rookie Season

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Marquez Callaway will look to build a bigger role for himself in 2021 after a modest rookie season in which he finished with 21 receptions for 213 yards on 27 targets in 11 games. Callaway will have to fight for targets with receivers like Deonte Harris and Juwan Johnson, who […]

Deonte Harris Looks To Make Impact In Third Season

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Deonte Harris is projected as the WR3 on the team this season and the 23-year-old will look to make an impact in his third NFL season in 2021. In nine games last season, Harris had a modest 20 receptions for 186 yards and one touchdown on 25 targets in nine […]

Tre'Quan Smith Set For WR2 Role

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Tre'Quan Smith is set for the WR2 role on the Saints, but that is due more to a lack of talent at the position rather than his production. In three seasons with New Orleans, the UCF product has been rather disappointing, not finishing with more than 34 receptions or 448 […]

Michael Thomas Hopes To Bounce Back From Injury

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas didn't put up his typical production in 2020, and that was due to a lingering ankle injury that held him out for much of the season. Overall, Thomas expectedly put up career-low numbers last season, finishing with 40 receptions for 438 yards on 55 targets in seven games. […]

Brandin Cooks Role As Starting Receiver Is Safe

Houston Texans wide receiver Brandin Cooks is set to start for the Texans this season, according to John McClain of the Houston Chronicle. McClain believes that Cooks is the only Texans receiver who enters training camp with a starting role in 2021 locked in. His fantasy ADP has reflected that all offseason, with Cooks being […]

Tyrod Taylor Enters Camp As Starting Quarterback

With Deshaun Watson still away from the team, the Houston Texans will enter 2021's training camp with Tyrod Taylor as the team's starting quarterback. In fact, John McClain of the Houston Chronicle says that Taylor's role as the starting passer in Houston is one of the few things that team knows right now about their […]

Russell Gage Stepping Into WR2 Role In 2021

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Russell Gage is expected to be the number-two wideout in new head coach Arthur Smith's offense in 2021. Gage set career-highs across the board in 2020 and was one of just 35 wide receivers to eclipse the 100-target mark. With All-Pro Julio Jones out of the picture, Gage will likely be […]

Adrian Peterson Feeling Good, Still Wants To Play

Free-agent running back Adrian Peterson continues to train and is waiting for another opportunity to play for an NFL team. "That's all I'm asking for. My body feels good. I came out healthy from last season. My body feels strong. I still feel young. I still feel good. I'm ready to play ball," Peterson said. […]

Raiders Running Backs Coach Retires

Las Vegas Raiders running backs coach Kirby Wilson informed the team on Friday that he is retiring after serving as a running backs coach for seven teams over the last two decades. In that span of time in the NFL, Wilson coached four running backs that finished in the top 15 in career rushing yards […]

Isaiah Ford Returns To The Dolphins

The Miami Dolphins signed wide receiver Isaiah Ford to an undisclosed deal on Friday and waived safety Brian Cole and center Tyler Gauthier in corresponding moves. Ford was traded to the New England Patriots at last year's trade deadline, but he didn't play a single snap for them and was ultimately released. The 25-year-old former […]

Richard Sherman Pleads Not Guilty To Five Misdemeanors

Free-agent cornerback Richard Sherman pleaded not guilty to five misdemeanors on Friday.

Ted Ginn Jr. Announces His Retirement

Wide receiver Ted Ginn Jr. announced his retirement from the NFL on Friday after becoming the ninth overall pick in the 2007 draft and playing 14 seasons. The 36-year-old pass-catcher caught 33 touchdowns, ran for two more and also had seven return touchdowns. Ginn had elite speed and was a three-time All-American at Ohio State […]

David Onyemata Suspended Six Games

New Orleans Saints starting defensive tackle David Onyemata has been suspended for six games in 2021 for a violation of the league's performance-enhancing drug policy. Onyemata claims that he has never "knowingly taken anything that could cause a positive test," but he will be suspended regardless. The 28-year-old is a key defender for the Saints, […]

Calvin Ridley An Elite WR1 In 2021

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley broke out in a big way in 2020 and deserves to be looked at among the elite WR1s heading into 2021. Ridley amassed a career-high 143 targets, 90 receptions, and 1374 receiving yards while finding the end zone nine times, good for a top-five finish at the position in […]

JuJu Smith-Schuster Needs More Explosive Plays In 2021

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster signed a one-year deal to stay with the team that drafted him instead of moving to another city this past offseason. The veteran receiver will be looking to return to his 2018 form in hopes of scoring a lucrative long-term contract following the upcoming season. Despite scoring nine touchdowns, […]

Diontae Johnson Looking To Build On Breakout Season

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson had a breakout year in 2020, finishing with 85 catches for 827 yards and seven touchdowns, good enough to be a WR2 in PPR fantasy leagues. Johnson could take another step forward in 2021 if the Steelers offense can show improvement. There are signs that it might do just […]

Chase Claypool Setting Up As Early Draft Value

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Chase Claypool turned a lot of heads when he scored 10 touchdowns as a rookie for his team in 2020. Claypool should continue to improve in his sophomore campaign as he has a full year of NFL experience under his belt. Offseason reports indicate that slimmed-down quarterback Ben Roethlisberger's surgically repaired […]

Mike Davis Set For Lead-Back Role In Atlanta

Atlanta Falcons running back Mike Davis is set for a feature-back role in 2021 after signing a two-year, $5.5 million deal with the club this offseason. Davis entered the 2020 campaign as a backup for the Carolina Panthers, but he ended up compiling a career-high 224 touches due to injuries to Christian McCaffrey. The 28-year-old […]

Matt Ryan Should Remain A Reliable Option In 2021

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan has been a reliable fantasy signal-caller over the past several years, a trend that should continue under new head coach Arthur Smith in 2021. Ryan has thrown for at least 4000 passing yards and 25 touchdowns in eight of the last 10 seasons, eclipsing the 600 passing attempt mark in […]
