Aaron Jones To Be Packers Bell-Cow

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones is likely to be the team's bell-cow running back this season. The Packers invested in the running back position, selecting Dexter Williams in the sixth round, but that is unlikely to impact the opportunity that Jones is going to be given this season. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers commented in […]

Roc Thomas Suspended Three Games

Minnesota Vikings running back Roc Thomas has been suspended three games for violating the league's substance-abuse policy. Thomas had just eight carries during his rookie season and is buried behind Dalvin Cook and rookie Alexander Mattison on the team's depth chart, so the suspension doesn't really mean much for his already nonexistent fantasy stock. Thomas […]

Marcedes Lewis Looking To Expand His Blocking Role This Season

Green Bay Packers tight end Marcedes Lewis is looking to expand on his blocking role this season. Lewis is currently one of the team's most senior players on a young roster and was the only one of the 11 unrestricted free agents the Packers re-signed this offseason.

Chicago Bears wide receiver Riley Ridley was a surprise selection when the Bears drafted him in the fourth round.

Andy Dalton To Use More Play Action?

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton may be using more play fakes this upcoming season.

Washington Redskins quarterback Alex Smith (leg) is no longer wearing an external fixator on his surgically repaired right leg. He credited the fixator with allowing him "to heal and walk again."

Andy Isabella Should Have Role In Rookie Season

Arizona Cardinals rookie wide receiver Andy Isabella, a second-round pick this year, looks like he'll get an initial chance in the offense behind veteran Larry Fitzgerald and Christian Kirk, who looked good in his rookie season in 2018.

Royce Freeman Could Snag More Carries

In 2018, Phillip Lindsay had 192 carries to fellow rookie Royce Freeman's 130, but Justin Adams of CBS 4 believes that that may change in 2019.

Ezekiel Elliott Considering Holding Out

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott is reportedly considering holding out from Cowboys training camp.

[…]

Mike Davis To Compete For Touches In Backfield

Chicago Bears running back Mike Davis will head into training camp looking to become more than the 'forgotten' man in the team's backfield.

Jadeveon Clowney And Texans Don't Reach Long-Term Deal

Houston Texans defensive end Jadeveon Clowney and the team were unable to reach a long-term deal before Monday's deadline, which means Clowney will play on the franchise tag this season.

Neither player should push Sudfeld for […]

Marvin Jones Should Be Ready For Training Camp

Detroit Lions wide receiver Marvin Jones (knee) missed all of organized team activities but should be ready to go for training camp, which begins in just a couple more weeks.

Kenny Golladay A Solid 2019 Option

Detroit Lions wide receiver Kenny Golladay looks to make his mark as a No. 1 receiver this season, as the team has lost wide receiver Golden Tate.

Braxton Berrios Reports Early

New England Patriots wide receiver Braxton Berrios has reported to the team's facilities ahead of training camp early.
