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 […]

Cowboys Address Pass-Catching Needs With Michael Gallup

The Dallas Cowboys selected Colorado State wide receiver Michael Gallup with the No. 81 overall pick of the 2018 NFL draft on Friday. He was a second-team All-American last season and posted the fourth most yards after the catch (657) in 2017. He's a good route runner but is quick and finds a way to […]

Steelers Draft Mason Rudolph

The Pittsburgh Steelers traded up to select Oklahoma State quarterback Mason Rudolph with the No. 76 overall pick of the 2018 NFL draft on Friday. Rudolph was the best quarterback available after five QBs were selected in the first round on Friday, and he was the best deep-ball passer of the group. However, Rudolph is […]

Steelers Draft James Washington

The Pittsburgh Steelers selected Oklahoma State wide receiver James Washington with the No. 60 overall pick of the 2018 NFL draft on Friday. Washington is a deep threat that led the nation in receiving yards (1,549) in 2017, and he finished with the second most career receiving yards (4,472) in Big 12 history. It makes […]

Derrius Guice Falls To No. 59 Overall

The Washington Redskins selected LSU running back Derrius Guice with the No. 59 overall pick in the 2018 NFL draft on Friday. Guice is a first-round talent but fell because of questions about his makeup and off-field issues. He's powerfully built and runs aggressive and doesn't shy away from contact. With Rob Kelley not asserting […]

49ers Trade Up To Land Dante Pettis

The San Francisco 49ers traded up to select Washington wide receiver Dante Pettis with the No. 44 overall pick of the 2018 NFL draft on Friday. Pettis doesn't have a ton of upside at the wideout position in the NFL, but he had a college record of nine touchdowns for punt returns, with four coming […]

Lions Select Kerryon Johnson No. 43 Overall

The Detroit Lions traded up to select Auburn running back Kerryon Johnson with the No. 43 overall pick of the 2018 NFL draft on Friday. Johnson was the 2017 SEC Player of the Year with 1,585 yards from scrimmage and 20 total touchdowns. He has plus size and versatility and will add to Detroit's stable […]

Dolphins Draft A Tight End In Second Round

The Miami Dolphins selected Penn State tight end Mike Gesicki with the No. 42 overall pick in the 2018 NFL draft on Friday. Gesicki started for three years and has excellent hands for his size (6-foot-6, 247 pounds). An excellent combine made his draft stock rise. Gesicki can stretch an opposing defense down the middle […]

Ronald Jones Goes To Tampa Early In Second Round

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers selected USC running back Ronald Jones with the No. 38 overall pick of the 2018 NFL draft on Friday. Jones was also a track star in college, and he has big-play ability at the next level. He produced excellent numbers behind an average offensive line, but he'll need to improve on […]

Browns Select Nick Chubb In Second Round

The Cleveland Browns selected Georgia running back Nick Chubb with the No. 35 overall pick in the 2018 NFL draft on Friday. Chubb was a Heisman candidate in 2015 with the Bulldogs before he blew up his knee. However, he bounced back nicely last year and excelled at breaking tackles with his high-end athleticism. He […]
