Lamar Jackson Looks To Be Given Time To Develop

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson is not being looked at as the Day 1 starter for Baltimore. Joe Flacco is no longer a young stud but he still appears likely to be the starter come Week 1 unless he gets injured. Jackson could be in good hands, as some of his coaches have handled players […]

Teddy Bridgewater Is Healthy

New York Jets general manager Mike Maccagnan said quarterback Teddy Bridgewater (knee) is healthy and was throwing Tuesday for Phase 2 of the team's offseason program.

Tom Brady Feels Underappreciated

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady expressed his discontent with the team's coaching staff during a live interview with Jim Gray on Monday.

The Dallas Cowboys remain interested in Seattle Seahawks defensive back Earl Thomas, even now that the NFL draft has come and gone.

Kerryon Johnson Could be Bell Cow in Detroit

Despite a checkered injury past, the Detroit Lions are not worried about rookie running back Kerryon Johnson's durability. The Lions anticipate having him run a lot on the inside, like he did at Auburn. Many predict Johnson will lead the Lions in carries this year, despite a crowded backfield with Legarrette Blount, Ameer Abdullah and […]

Cody Latimer Worked With First-Team Offense

New York Giants wide receiver Cody Latimer worked with the first-team offense during voluntary team workouts last week with Odell Beckham Jr. (ankle) limited to individual work.

Hunter Henry Ready To Step Up In 2018

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Hunter Henry said he is ready to step up as the main pass-catching tight end in 2018 after general manager Tom Telesco confirmed that the Bolts will not re-sign veteran tight end Antonio Gates. "But definitely, I'm ready to step up. … I'm ready to go," Henry said. Henry's 2017 […]

Colts Waive Matt Jones

The Indianapolis Colts have waived running back Matt Jones, per Adam Schefter of ESPN. Jones managed to rack up 248 carries for 964 yards and six touchdowns in his time with the Colts and Washington Redskins. Unfortunately, he failed to climb the depth chart and become fantasy relevant in 2017, with Jones seeing action in […]

Eagles Keep Darren Sproles Around for Another Season

The Philadelphia Eagles re-signed running back Darren Sproles to a one-year contract. Sproles wanted last season to be his final one, but after an ACL tear ended his season early, Sproles decided to come back for one more. Head coach Doug Pederson had long stated that the team wanted to bring the veteran runner back, […]

Cowboys Acquire Tavon Austin As A Running Back

The Dallas Cowboys acquired former Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Tavon Austin in exchange for their sixth-round pick (192 overall) in the 2018 draft. Not long after he was acquired, it was reported that the Cowboys see Austin as a running back and not as a wide receiver. A former first-round pick, Austin always looks […]

Michael Gallup Could Be a Key Week 1 Starter for the Cowboys

Dallas Cowboys third-round draft pick Michael Gallup could be a key piece of the offense as early as Week 1. The Cowboys snagged Gallup in the third round after reportedly considering him in the second. The Biletnikoff Award finalist and consensus All-American plays a similar game to Dez Bryant, whom the Cowboys recently cut loose. […]

Eagles Exercise Nelson Agholor's Fifth-Year Option

The Philadelphia Eagles exercised wide receiver Nelson Agholor's fifth-year option for 2019. This didn't look like a sure thing or maybe even likely at all during Agholor's first couple of seasons, but even though it took him a while, he's finally playing to his ability. Agholor's option year will be worth $9.387 million and will […]

Jaguars Release Jaelen Strong

The Jacksonville Jaguars released wide receiver Jaelen Strong on Monday, according to a league source. Strong played in just one game and had three catches for 38 yards and a touchdown in Jacksonville last year. He also tore his ACL in that game and isn't a lock to be ready for the regular season in […]

Paxton Lynch, Chad Kelly To Fight For Backup Gig

With the Denver Broncos choosing not to draft a quarterback this year, it shows that they haven't given up on quarterback Paxton Lynch, who was a first-round pick in 2016. “We are not kicking him to the curb,’’ general manager John Elway said. “He can still develop. When we drafted him two years ago, as […]

Rashaad Penny Has A Chance To Start Right Away

Seattle Seahawks running back Rashaad Penny, who the team drafted 27th overall in the first round, will have a chance to contribute right away as the team's lead back. They won't just hand the job to him, however, and he'll have to compete with Chris Carson for touches. After taking Penny in the first round, […]

Kenny Golladay Should Have Bigger Role in 2018

Detroit Lions receiver Kenny Golladay should have a bigger role in Detroit's offense in 2018. After an electric Week 1, Golladay was injured for most of the rest of last season, never quite crawling back into fantasy relevance. The Lions still have Golden Tate, Marvin Jones and T.J. Jones, so Golladay will have to fight […]

Lions Anticipate Frank Ragnow Starting Week 1

The Detroit Lions anticipate that first-round pick Frank Ragnow will be the Lions starting center in Week 1. Ragnow will be a huge boost for Detroit's running game, a point of emphasis by new head coach Matt Patricia. This gives a slight boost to whomever the Lions have as their lead back when the season […]

Packers Release Joe Callahan

The Green Bay Packers released quarterback Joe Callahan on Monday. Callahan was signed as an undrafted free agent two years ago. He had served as Green Bay’s third-string quarterback for each of the last two seasons. Callahan had previously played for Wesley College, a Division 3 school, before making a surprise push to make an […]

Josh Rosen Not Ruled Out as Week 1 Starter

Arizona Cardinals rookie quarterback Josh Rosen has not been ruled out as the Week 1 starter by new head coach Steve Wilks. After being picked 10th overall, Rosen will have a chance to unseat presumed starter Sam Bradford in preseason and throughout training camp. Whoever wins the job should be considered a mid-range QB2 that […]

Titans Release Alex Tanney

The Tennessee Titans released quarterback Alex Tanney and running back Khalfani Muhammad on Monday. Tanney has been with Tennessee for parts of three seasons, beginning in 2014. He went 10-for-14 for 99 yards and a touchdown in one game in 2015. With the team drafting quarterback Luke Falk in the sixth round, Tanney became expendable.

Texans Re-Sign Alfred Blue

The Houston Texas re-signed running back Alfred Blue to a one-year deal Monday, according to a source. Blue had a career-low 71 carries for 262 yards (3.7 yards per carry) and one touchdown in 2017 in his fourth year in Houston. He's not a big part of the passing game either. Unless Lamar Miller or […]

Cameron Artis-Payne Has A Shot At Bigger Role

After the Carolina Panthers did not address the position in the NFL draft, running back Cameron Artis-Payne will get a real shot for a bigger role alongside Christian McCaffrey in 2018. As of now, Fozzy Whittaker is the only other running back on the roster. The Panthers are likely to address the position with a […]

Bills Won't Rush Extension With Kelvin Benjamin

Buffalo Bills general manager Brandon Beane said he will wait until this summer to see how wide receiver Kelvin Benjamin fits into the offensive system before they decide to approach him about extending his contract. It makes sense after Benjamin had just 16 catches for 217 yards and one touchdown in six games with Buffalo […]

Browns Make Several Roster Moves Monday

The Cleveland Browns made several roster moves on the Monday after the NFL draft. Cleveland signed quarterback Joel Stave, the former University of Wisconsin signal-caller who has bounced around the league. Since entering the NFL in 2016, Stave has been on the practice squad of five different teams, including the Kansas City Chiefs when current […]

Vance McDonald To Be A Big Part Of Offense In 2018

ESPN senior NFL writer Jeremy Fowler believes that Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Vance McDonald will be a big part of the team's offense in 2018. Fowler cites the fact that the Steelers did not address the position in the NFL draft, which leaves McDonald to compete with Jesse James for targets at the position. McDonald […]

Raiders Acquire Ryan Switzer

The Oakland Raiders acquired wide receiver Ryan Switzer from the Dallas Cowboys on Saturday in exchange for defensive tackle Jihad Ward. The Cowboys could afford to trade Switzer after drafting Michael Gallup and trading for Tavon Austin on Saturday. Switzer mostly starred on special teams in his rookie season, catching just six passes for 41 […]

Bills Won't Pursue Dez Bryant

Buffalo Bills general manager Brandon Beane said the team looked at free-agent wide receiver Dez Bryant "on tape," but the team won't pursue him any further. “If we thought that was the right fit for us, we definitely would potentially pursue it," Beane said. The Bills could certainly use some receiving help behind Kelvin Benjamin, […]

Texans Select Jordan Akins At No. 98 Overall

The Houston Texans selected Central Florida tight end Jordan Akins with the No. 98 overall pick in the 2018 NFL draft on Friday. Akins will be a 26-year-old rookie after playing in the minor leagues for the Rangers for four seasons. He played tight end in his final two seasons in college and lacks blocking […]
