Gus Edwards Rolls Up 76 Yards On 12 Carries

Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards had a solid game despite sharing carries with Kenneth Dixon as he tallied 76 yards on 12 carries in Sunday's victory over the Browns. It was the seventh straight week that the undrafted rookie garnered double-digit carries and he has totaled at least 67 yards on the ground in […]

Cardinals Fire Byron Leftwich, Al Holcomb

The Arizona Cardinals fired interim offensive coordinator Byron Leftwich and defensive coordinator Al Holcomb on Monday, according to a source. Leftwich took over midseason after the team fired Mike McCoy, and the Cardinals finished dead last in yards per game (241.6), dead last in passing yards per game (157.7), dead last in rushing yards per […]

Atlanta Falcons Defense Has Poor Day

The Atlanta Falcons defense/special teams had a poor day in Week 17 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. They did manage to sack Winston three times and forced an interception but that was the extent of the highlights. Winston was able to move the ball at will at times and the Buccaneers were able to score […]

Kenneth Dixon Explodes For 117 Yards On The Ground

Baltimore Ravens running back Kenneth Dixon produced a career-high 117 yards on 12 carries while adding two more yards on one reception in Sunday's victory over the Browns. It was the third-year back's first career 100-yard rushing game while the 12 attempts were his second most this year. He had four carries that garnered 10 […]

Matt Bryant Perfect To End The Season

Atlanta Falcons kicker Matt Bryant ended the season six of six against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday. Bryant had four extra points and two field goals, with a long of 49 yards. The veteran kicker has been impressive again this year and remains an interesting fantasy option as long as he is still playing […]

Jeremy Langford Rushes For 25 Yards

Atlanta Falcons running back Jeremy Langford had just 25 yards rushing against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 17. Langford filled the role of third running back for the Falcons and will be pleased to have received nine carries. However, a rushing average of less than three yards per carry is unlikely to have convinced […]

Brian Hill Comes Back To Earth In Week 17

Atlanta Falcons running back Brian Hill had a back to earth performance against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 17. Hill had another eight carries but managed just 30 rushing yards, with another nine yards coming in the receiving game. Hill looked impressive at times but is unlikely to have done enough to mean he […]

Tevin Coleman Has Limited Week 17 Opportunities

Atlanta Falcons running back Tevin Coleman had limited opportunities against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 17. Coleman carried the ball just eight times for 45 yards with a longest rush of 23 yards. Coleman did manage to add nine yards receiving on one target, but all in all he had less than 10 touches […]

Austin Hooper Has Another Solid Day In Week 17

Atlanta Falcons tight end Austin Hooper had a solid, if unspectacular, day against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 17. Hooper caught five of his six targets for 67 yards but failed to cap that performance with a touchdown. This was actually one of the more middling performances from Hooper this year, who has been […]

Calvin Ridley Finishes 2018 With A Touchdown

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley had a touchdown to close out the 2018 season against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The most impressive thing for Ridley is that he caught all five of his targets, and that will stand him in good stead with Matt Ryan heading into 2019. Ridley only managed 32 yards, but […]

Julio Jones Has Another Good Week

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones bounced back from a tough Week 16 with a big performance in Week 17 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Jones caught 9-of-13 targets for 138 yards and added his eighth touchdown of the season. It was another monster week from Jones who has gone from strength to strength this […]

Mohamed Sanu Has Strong 2018 Finale

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Mohamed Sanu had a strong finish to the 2018 season against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Sanu caught seven of his 10 targets for 90 yards and added a five yard touchdown pass to Matt Ryan. Sanu has had an up-and-down season but the last few weeks have been good to the […]

Lamar Jackson Scores Twice On The Ground

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson completed 14 of 24 passes for 179 yards in Sunday's 26-24 win over the Browns. The 21-year-old also added 90 yards and a season-high two touchdowns on 20 carries. It was one of the rookie's best passing performances this year. He tied his season high in completions, had his second-most […]

Matt Ryan Finishes 2018 With A Bang

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan finished out the 2018 season with a bang against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 17. Ryan threw for 378 passing yards and two touchdowns on 31-of-44. However, Ryan made fantasy owners day when he caught a five yard touchdowns pass from Mohamed Sanu. That play took Ryan from a […]

Antonio Brown's Week 17 Absence Wasn't Injury-Related

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown's Week 17 absence against the Bengals had nothing to do with his knee injury, but instead he was inactive because he elected to sit out of practice all last week after an unspecified dispute with a teammate. Brown became disgusted at one of his teammates and threw a football […]

LeSean McCoy To Return In 2019

Buffalo Bills general manager Brandon Beane said that running back LeSean McCoy is in the team's plans for 2019, the final year of his contract. 2018 was the worst season of McCoy's career, as he rushed for just 514 yards (3.2 yards per carry) and three touchdowns on 161 attempts. He also had 34 catches […]

Dan Quinn, Falcons Overhaul Coaching Staff

The Atlanta Falcons fired offensive coordinator Steve Sarkisian, defensive coordinator Marquand Manuel and special teams coach Keith Armstrong on Monday, according to sources. The Falcons were a huge disappointment on both sides of the ball in 2018. The issues on defense were mainly due to key injuries early in the season. The offense underachieved under […]

Steve Wilks Is One And Done In Arizona

Arizona Cardinals head coach Steve Wilks told his staff on Monday that he will no longer be the head coach moving forward, according to sources. Wilks only got one season in the desert, but he did supply the organization with the No. 1 overall pick in next year's draft after going 3-13 in 2018. To […]

Marcus Mariota Won't Need Surgery

Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota (stinger) said he will not need offseason surgery to fix his nerve issues. Mariota didn't play in Week 17 after suffering a stinger and nerve damage in Week 16. He finishes 2018 with 2,528 yards (his fewest in four seasons), 11 touchdowns and eight interceptions in 14 games. The 25-year-old […]

Adam Gase Gets The Boot In Miami

The Miami Dolphins fired head coach Adam Gase after three seasons on Monday, according to a source. The team also promoted general manager Chris Grier to oversee football operations and reassigned Mike Tannenbaum, who was previously vice president of football operations. Gase didn't help his cause in the 42-17 Week 17 loss to the Bills. […]

Broncos Fire Vance Joseph

The Denver Broncos fired head coach Vance Joseph on Monday after their first back-to-back losing seasons since the early-70s, according to a source. Joseph spent only two years with Denver despite signing a four-year deal in 2017, and the Broncos went 5-11 in his first year and 6-10 in 2018. The Broncos were competitive against […]

Marvin Lewis Out In Cincinnati

The Cincinnati Bengals have parted ways with head coach Marvin Lewis on Monday. Lewis had one season remaining on an extension that he signed last year, but the decision to part ways was mutual. The 60-year-old was the second longest tenured coach in the NFL behind Bill Belichick. Lewis had coached the Bengals for 16 […]

Browns Interested In Re-Signing Breshad Perriman

Cleveland Browns general manager John Dorsey said the team is interested in re-signing wide receiver Breshad Perriman, who is scheduled to become a free agent. The former Ravens first-round bust had 16 receptions for 340 yards and two touchdowns in 10 games for Cleveland this year and averaged a career-high 21.3 yards per catch as […]

Saints Sign Josh Hill To Three-Year Extension

The New Orleans Saints signed tight end Josh Hill to a three-year, $8.85 million extension through the 2021 season on Monday, according to sources. While Hill could have a bigger role in 2019 and beyond, he hasn't moved the needle at all in his six years in the league, catching exactly 16 passes in three […]

Jared Cook Posts Quiet Game In Season Finale

Oakland Raiders tight end Jared Cook posted a very slow game against the Chiefs to end the season. He finished with only three catches for 28 yards and was caught looking bad on an interception. Cook was looking like a top-tier fantasy tight end for a few weeks when he had four touchdowns in a […]

Jordy Nelson Shows Consistency Despite Blowout Loss

Oakland Raiders wide receiver Jordy Nelson was able to post solid fantasy numbers to finish the season, in what was a huge loss to the Chiefs. Nelson ended with nine receptions for 78 yards but no touchdown. He closed out the season on a heater, with six or more receptions in five straight games, along […]

Doug Martin Has Strong Game To Close Out The Season

Oakland Raiders running back Doug Martin was able to turn in a positive performance one final time in their loss against the Chiefs. Martin ended with 100 yards on 21 carries, giving him over 100 yards in his final two games. There was a bit of skepticism surrounding the signing of Martin in the offseason, […]

Derek Carr Ends Season On A Low Note

Oakland Raiders quarterback Derek Carr turned in a terrible performance to end the season against the Chiefs. Carr finished with only 185 yards, no touchdowns, and two interceptions. These were his first interceptions since Week 5, which is a nice streak, but ultimately, a meaningless streak in a lackluster season. His fantasy value all season […]

Jameis Winston Will Return In 2019

Tampa Bay Buccaneers general manager Jason Licht said that quarterback Jameis Winston will return as the starter in 2019. Winston had a three-game suspension to begin the 2018 season and was benched during the middle of the season for Ryan Fitzpatrick. He'll only be 25 next week, however, and the Bucs think there is still […]

Nick Foles To Start In Wild-Card Game

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Doug Pederson said that quarterback Nick Foles (ribs) was "feeling good" on Monday morning and will start in the wild-card game against the Bears next weekend.
