Joe Mixon Enters Hostile Territory In Week 1

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon will have his hands full in Week 1 against Seattle. Though the Seahawks defensively aren’t what they were during the “Legion of Boom” era, they allowed just 1,364 yards and eight touchdowns to opposing backs last season, making them one of the more efficient teams in that area in […]

Nick Chubb a Locked-in RB1 in Week 1

The Cut List (Week 23) - Time to Let Go?

September. That time of year where non-contending teams will end a player's season over a generally minor injury, or otherwise cut into the playing time of regulars with expanded rosters. While actionable consequences won't really show until next week, it's something to start considering. Fortunately, next season rosters will jump from 26 to 28 instead […]

Christian McCaffrey Set For Week 1

Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey is set to embark on another potential record-breaking season beginning Week 1 against the Rams.
