Rarely do you see a sack artist experience a true breakout at age 29, but that's exactly what Andrew Van Ginkel did. Despite playing in 73 games with 42 career starts in Miami, the former Dolphin only had 17 career sacks when he joined Minnesota as a free agent last offseason. However, the scheme of […]

However, Outman's stock has fallen dramatically since […]
Hamilton has always possessed the size, range, and tackling ability that you look for in a top fantasy DB. That potential came together in 2023, when he finished as DB3 overall in Standard IDP scoring.

Dallas Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer had more good things to say about rookie running back Jaydon Blue at training camp on Thursday.

New York Giants rookie running back Cam Skattebo (undisclosed) did not take part in Thursday's training camp practice with an undisclosed injury, according to The Athletic's Dan Duggan.
