Paxton Lynch On Outside Looking In

Despite playing his best preseason game on Thursday against the Cardinals, Denver Broncos quarterback Paxton Lynch is on the outside looking in as the No. 3 QB behind Chad Kelly and Case Keenum. The former-first round pick is a candidate to be cut, but a team could also elect to trade for him if they […]

Joshua Dobbs Shines In Preseason Finale

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Joshua Dobbs boosted his trade value in the preseason finale against the Panthers on Thursday. NFL Network insider Ian Rapoport reported that Dobbs is one of the quarterbacks that has "generated interest" around the league, and he could be dealt in the next 24 hours. He was eight of 12 passing for […]

Texans Waive Stephen Anderson

The Houston Texans have waived tight end Stephen Anderson. Anderson, a popular waiver add during the latter stages of the 2017 season after he caught five balls for 79 yards and a touchdown against the Titans, came into camp as one of the team's top tight ends, but the emergence of rookies Jordan Akins and […]

Taylor Heinicke Appears To Be Top Backup In Charlotte

Carolina Panthers quarterback Taylor Heinicke appears to have won the primary backup job behind starter Cam Newton. There were rumors earlier in the preseason that the team might be interested in reuniting offensive coordinator Norv Turner and former Minnesota Vikings, now current New Orleans Saints, QB Teddy Bridgewater. However, Heinicke, who also worked under Turner […]

Nick Vannett Expected To Be Team's Starting Tight End

Seattle Seahawks tight end Nick Vannett is expected to open the season as the team's starter with rookie Will Dissly serving as the No. 2 tight end. With veteran Ed Dickson (quadriceps, groin) unable to practice for the entire preseason, it wasn't much of a race for Vannett. He knows the offensive system well, and […]

Eagles Release Christian Hackenberg

The Philadelphia Eagles have released quarterback Christian Hackenberg, according to a source. Hackenberg was a disaster in the preseason finale against the Jets on Thursday, going 7-for-16 for 69 yards, two interceptions and two sacks in seven drives. The Jets former second-round pick has looked overwhelmed by the NFL game ever since he came into […]

Ed Dickson Likely To Begin On PUP List

Seattle Seahawks tight end Ed Dickson (quadriceps) is likely to be placed on the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list to start the regular season. He was unable to practice or play during the entire preseason due to quadriceps and groin injuries, according to head coach Pete Carroll. It's also possible Dickson begins on the […]

Jason Sanders Has Won Kicking Job

Miami Dolphins place kicker Jason Sanders has won the kicking job after the team released rookie Greg Joseph, according to a source. Sanders is also a rookie and will be kicking for an offense that may struggle to move the ball with Devante Parker injured and Jarvis Landry, the NFL's leading pass catcher in 2017, […]

J.J. Nelson Could Be On Outside Looking In

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver J.J. Nelson could be one of the team's roster casualties as the team cuts down to 53 players. The team is expected to keep three quarterbacks on the roster, and it's possible they might keep just six receivers on the roster. WRs Larry Fitzgerald, Christian Kirk and Chad Williams were rested […]

Dion Sims In Concussion Protocol

Chicago Bears tight end Dion Sims (concussion) has been in the concussion protocol the last two weeks. That surely doesn't bode well for Sims' availability for the start of the regular season. It's equally bad news with Adam Shaheen also on the shelf. The 27-year-old Sims is more of a blocking tight end and had […]

Ronald Jones II Has Grasp Of Playbook

While Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookie running back Ronald Jones II didn't stand out at all in the preseason, head coach Dirk Koetter isn't putting all the blame on him for his poor performances in games. Jones finished the preseason finale against the Jaguars on Thursday with only four yards on 10 carries. In four preseason […]

Cameron Meredith Scores Touchdown In Preseason Finale

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Cameron Meredith, who saw limited action in training camp and the preseason while he recovered from an ACL tear in 2017, saw a lot of playing time in the final preseason game against the Rams on Thursday. He played 39 snaps (60 percent) and had two catches for 72 yards […]

Cardinals Expected To Keep Three QBs

The Arizona Cardinals are expected to keep quarterbacks Sam Bradford, Josh Rosen and Mike Glennon on the 53-man roster to open the 2018 regular season. Bradford has been tabbed as the starter, while Rosen is expected to be the primary backup with Glennon working as the third signal caller. Bradford completed eight of his 12 […]

Jermaine Kearse Could Miss Season Opener

The New York Jets fear that wide receiver Jermaine Kearse (abdomen) will miss Week 1 against the Lions after having a medical procedure on his abdominal injury, according to sources. Head coach Todd Bowles said that Kearse is "getting better every day" but offered no timetable for his return. “Day-to-day, week-to-week,” Bowles said. Kears also […]

Rams, Aaron Donald Finalizing Extension

The Los Angeles Rams and All-Pro defensive tackle Aaron Donald are finalizing a record six-year, $135 million deal on Friday, including $87 million guaranteed, according to a source. It is the richest defensive deal in NFL history and ties Donald to LA for the next seven years. Donald will be ready for Week 1. The […]

Brice Butler Catches One Pass Against Broncos

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Brice Butler only caught one pass for 19 yards against the Broncos. It looks as if Butler will be the fourth wide receiver on the team's depth chart following a preseason injury and lackluster performances. With Larry Fitzgerald currently occupying the top spot, there is still room for maneuvering between Chad […]

Mike Glennon Plays Well Against Broncos

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Mike Glennon played well Thursday night against the Broncos, completing eight of 10 passes for 69 yards and a touchdown. Glennon has definitely outperformed rookie Chad Kanoff and should take over the third quarterback spot behind Sam Bradford and rookie Josh Allen. However, unless 2018 brings an injury to Bradford and poor […]

Kenneth Dixon Does Little Against Redskins

Baltimore Ravens running back Kenneth Dixon did little to nothing in his effort to secure a roster spot Thursday night against the Redskins. The oft-injured Dixon tallied just 12 yards on five carries and dropped his only target out of the backfield. It was a night to forget for Dixon, who might not have many […]

Breshad Perriman Does Little Against Washington

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Breshad Perriman did little to nothing in his campaign for a roster spot Thursday night against the Redskins. The oft-injured receiver caught all three of his targets for just 24 yards, but more notably missed a block on a Mark Andrews catch and run that could've been extended for a touchdown. […]

Mark Andrews Shows Well In Start

Baltimore Ravens rookie tight end Mark Andrews took full advantage of his start in place of injured teammate Hayden Hurst in Thursday's preseason matchup with the Redskins. Andrews reeled in all three of his targets for 61 yards, including a 45-yard catch-and-run play early in the first half. The Ravens selected Hurst in the first […]

Lamar Jackson Finishes Preseason Strong

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson completed nine of 15 passes with no touchdowns through the air in Thursday's preseason finale against the Redskins. The rookie added a touchdown on the ground to go along with 25 yards on three carries. While it's a step backward from what the Ravens coaching staff wanted to see from […]

Rams Defense Continues To Show Promise

The Los Angeles Rams defense took the field against the Oakland Raiders starting offense without two key components in defensive tackle Aaron Donald and linebacker Mark Barron. Despite these missing pieces, they showed they were a major threat to opposing offenses. When those pieces return, they'll be even more dangerous. LA's defensive unit will be […]

Dez Bryant Could Be A Colts Target

The Indianapolis Colts have no clear wide receiver strength behind T.Y. Hilton. Free-agent wideout Dez Bryant remains up for grabs, and he could be a great target for them. With a wealth of salary cap space still available, they could easily bring him into the fold. Despite his diminished athleticism, Bryant remains a great red-zone […]

Geronimo Allison Catches Touchdown in Preseason Game

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Geronimo Allison had a single catch in Thursday’s preseason game against the Kansas City Chiefs. It was a 31-yard grab that went for a touchdown in the first quarter from quarterback Deshone Kizer. It was his lone target on the day. Allison displayed nice route running to beat the cornerback, […]

Aaron Jones Sees Significant Action

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones ran the ball nine times for 34 yards with a touchdown in Thursday’s preseason game against the Kansas City Chiefs. He added three receptions for 21 yards on four targets. Jones had missed much of the preseason with a hamstring injury, so while most of the Green Bay […]

Reggie Davis Has Rough Outing Thursday

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Reggie Davis had a rough time of it Thursday against the Miami Dolphins. Davis failed to register a reception on six targets, including some bad drops. One of his drops would have been a touchdown. A good performance from Davis in this game could have meant he crept onto the Falcons […]

Alex Gray Fails To Register a Reception In Preseason

Atlanta Falcons tight end Alex Gray has had a rough preseason, which culminated in Thursday's game against the Miami Dolphins. Gray came into camp competing with Eric Saubert for the third tight end spot but appears to have lost major ground. Had he of made the roster he could have had fantasy value as a […]

Jaeden Graham Has Three Catches Thursday

Atlanta Falcons tight end Jaeden Graham had a solid night against the Miami Dolphins Thursday. Graham registered three reception, on four targets, for 36 yards, adding to the 11 yards he had in the game against the Kansas City Chiefs. Graham saw extended time in this game with the trio of Austin Hooper, Logan Paulsen […]

Ito Smith Has No Rushes Thursday

Atlanta Falcons running back Ito Smith did not register a rush or a catch in Thursday's preseason game against the Miami Dolphins. The fact that Smith did not do anything Thursday suggests to me that he has already made the roster as the number three running back, despite some ineffective preseason showings. With Tevin Coleman […]

Terrence Magee Has Six Rushes Thursday

Atlanta Falcons running back Terrence Magee had a so-so night in the final preseason game against the Miami Dolphins Thursday. Magee rushed the ball six times for 27 yards and added two receptions, on two targets, for 13 yards. The fight for the Dolphins number four running back spot is tight right now and given […]
