Sam Bradford Is The Likely Starter in 2018

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Sam Bradford will likely enter the season as the starter, despite fierce competition from rookie Josh Rosen. This is good news for Bradford owners, as he should be a QB2 for the majority of the season and is not likely to lose his job soon unless he severely underperforms. This makes Rosen […]

David Irving Suspended for Four Games

Dallas Cowboys defensive lineman David Irving was suspended by the NFL for four games for violating the league's substance-abuse policy. He won't be able to take the field until the Week 5 game against the Houston Texans. Irving failed a test and served a four-game suspension in 2017 as well. Entering a contract year, Irving […]

Rico Gathers Mostly Works as a Blocker in OTAs

Dallas Cowboys tight end Rico Gathers reportedly "didn't get many chances" to catch passes during organized team activities. Gathers worked mostly as a blocking tight end, and it seemed like the team had him focusing on that aspect of tight end play instead of as a more fantasy-relevant pass-catching tight end. Gathers has been a […]

"The Pain is Gone" in Andrew Luck's Shoulder

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck (shoulder) told the media on Monday that the "pain" in his surgically-repaired shoulder is "gone".

Trent Brown Has First Crack At Left Tackle Job

New England Patriots offensive tackle Trent Brown looks like he'll have the first crack at the left tackle job, with first-rounder Isaiah Wynn starting at left guard. David Andrews is locked in at center and Shaq Mason is one of the best right guards in the league, leaving Joe Thuney as potentially the odd man […]

Nathan Peterman A Serious Contender For Starting Job

Buffalo Bills quarterback Nathan Peterman should be considered a serious contender for the starting job to open the season. He has rotated first-team snaps with AJ McCarron, with rookie Josh Allen mostly working with the third-team offense. Peterman has looked sharp so far, including completing 10 of his 13 passes in 11-on-11 drills in minicamp […]

Ronald Jones Could See 15-20 Touches Per Game

Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookie running back Ronald Jones, a second-round pick, could see 15 to 20 touches per game in his first season.

No Timetable For D'Onta Foreman

Although Houston Texans running back D'Onta Foreman (Achilles) is optimistic he'll be ready to go in training camp, he remains without a timetable to return and is unlikely to be full go for the start of training camp.

ArDarius Stewart's Roster Spot Could Be Safe

ESPN New York's Rich Cimini believes New York Jets wide receiver Ardarius Stewart is safe for a roster spot in training camp, as the team could keep up to six wide receivers.

Ian Thomas To Battle For Backup Duties

Carolina Panthers rookie tight end Ian Thomas, who saw some snaps with the first-team offense during minicamp, has shown his athleticism and will battle Chris Manhertz for the backup job to Greg Olsen.

Jordan Taylor Likely To Start Camp On PUP List

Denver Broncos head coach Vance Joseph said wide receiver Jordan Taylor (hips) will "probably" start training camp on the Physically Unable to Perform list. Taylor was held out of organized team activities and minicamp. Taylor is a long shot to be a big contributor on offense this year after the team drafted rookies Courtland Sutton […]

Braedon Bowman Standing Out

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Braedon Bowman, who spent all of 2017 on the practice squad, has impressed with his playmaking in offseason workouts. He has soft hands as a receiver but also can succeed as a blocker, which makes him intriguing to watch with Hunter Henry (knee) out for the year and Virgil Green […]

Jaguars Sign DeAndre Smelter

The Jacksonville Jaguars signed free-agent wide receiver DeAndre Smelter on Friday and waived/injured defensive tackle Michael Hughes in a corresponding move. Smelter was a fourth-round pick of the Niners in 2015 and has just one catch for 23 yards in two games in the NFL. He will be in a battle to make the Jags […]

Injuries Hobble Colts Safeties Ahead of Training Camp

Indianapolis Colts free safety Malik Hooker (knee) and strong safety Clayton Geathers are both coming off of injuries for the team's training camp. Hooker has a chance to be cleared for training camp, while Geathers is questionable to attend. Hooker is eight months removed from ACL surgery and did some off-field work at offseason team […]

Chester Rogers Held Out of Minicamp

According to FOX 59 Indianapolis, the Indianapolis Colts held wide receiver Chester Rogers (hamstring) out of the entirety of minicamp. Rogers had much of his 2017 campaign derailed by a hamstring issue and the recurring nature of the injury should be concerning, but many expect him to be fine for training camp. After T.Y. Hilton, […]

Colts GM Hopes Erik Swoope Will Be Ready for Training Camp

Indianapolis Colts general manager Chris Ballard hopes to have tight end Erik Swoope (knee) back in time for training camp.

Jake Butt Shines On Day 2 Of Mini-Camp

Denver Broncos tight end Jake Butt (knee) lost 2017 to injury but hopes to make a big mark in 2018. Butt has torn his ACL in the same knee twice, and the second one cost him his rookie season. Day 2 of mini-camp was a major step forward in his quest as he caught two […]

Colts Have "Big Designs" for Nyheim Hines

Following this week's minicamp, Zak Keefer of the Indianapolis Star believes it's "clear" the Indianapolis Colts have "big designs" for rookie running back Nyheim Hines in offense. From his hands to his kick return skills, Hines' name seems to keep popping up. Keefer added Hines was "among the most active players on offense" in spring […]

Kendrick Bourne Has Been Consistent

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Kendrick Bourne has been one of the most consistent receivers in offseason workouts for quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo. As an undrafted rookie wideout last year, Bourne had 16 catches for 257 yards, but he lacks elite speed. However, Garoppolo called Bourne "deceptively fast" and said he "has some wiggle to him." […]

Elijah McGuire Expected To Be Third-Down Back

New York Jets running backs coach Stump Mitchell expects running back Elijah McGuire, who had 492 yards from scrimmage and 3.6 yards per carry as a rookie, to be the team's third-down back in 2018. “Eli looks fantastic to be perfectly honest,” Mitchell said. “I’ll tell you who I see Eli as — and he’s […]

Martavis Bryant Could Be Facing Suspension

The Oakland Raiders fear that wide receiver Martavis Bryant could be facing discipline from the league, according to sources. The belief is that it pertains to the NFL's substance-abuse policy. Bryant missed the entire 2016 with the Steelers after repeated policy violations, so another suspension could be for all of the 2018 season or worse. […]

Mason Rudolph Could Push For Backup Job

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph has performed well in offseason team practices. According to reports, the rookie has performed better than any Pittsburgh rookie quarterback since Ben Roethlisberger. So well, in fact, that many associated with the team believe he could make a serious push to become the team's backup quarterback behind Roethlisberger. Landry Jones […]

Corey Coleman Entering Make-Or-Break Year

New Cleveland Browns offensive coordinator Todd Haley did not hold back when asked about wide receiver Corey Coleman on Thursday. Haley stated, "He understands this is a big, big year in his career.

D.J. Moore Looks Ready To Contribute

Carolina Panthers rookie wide receiver D.J. Moore looks ready to contribute in his first season and has been smooth during offseason practices. Moore has speed and has a knack for making defenders miss. Carolina really needed another receiver to help Devin Funchess out, and Moore is that guy. He'll give the Panthers offense and quarterback […]

Houston Texans linebacker Benardrick McKinney signed a five-year, $50 million extension on Thursday. The deal includes $21 million in guarantees.

Patrick Peterson Expected To Change Up Cornerback Duties

Arizona Cardinals cornerback Patrick Peterson is expected to stop just shadowing No. 1 wide receivers in games under the new scheme of head coach Steve Wilks. Peterson wants to make more impact plays for the team and believes that moving around the field will allow him to do just that. This raises the upside for […]

Cardinals Sign Greg Little

The Arizona Cardinals have signed free-agent wide receiver Greg Little after two tryouts with the team. Little is a former Browns second-round pick.
