Chris Carson Says Seahawks Offense Is “More Explosive”

Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson is coming off the 2020 season where he had trouble staying healthy. Carson played in only 12 games last season, and when he was active he did not receive the workload that he was previously able to handle. The 26-year-old carried the ball just 141 times (11.8 per game) […]

Terrace Marshall Jr. Will Look To Continue Strong Preseason Friday

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Terrace Marshall Jr. has had a strong camp and preseason thus far as he looks to lock up the third wideout role. The Panthers haven't given their starters a ton of run this preseason, though Marshall has been heavily involved, leading the team in targets, catches, and receiving yards through two […]

Quarterback Draft Rankings and Analysis

Starting several years ago, the late-round QB strategy quickly caught on, becoming a staple of most fantasy managers’ drafts. In 2021, though late-round QB is still viable, fantasy managers may want to start looking in a different direction. With a plethora of young, mobile quarterbacks joining the reliable veterans, quarterback projects to be exceptionally top-heavy […]

IDP One-Man Mock Draft for Fantasy Football

Whether you're an analyst or a casual fan, nearly everyone in fantasy football has what we call a "home league." These are the types of leagues where you gather with your oldest and closest friends to drink beer, make fun of each other’s anatomy, and eventually draft a fantasy team that you won’t recognize once […]

The Value of RB Targets in PPR Leagues

If you have followed my work at all, you know I am all about running backs that can catch passes. If you listen to RotoBaller Radio on SiriusXM (and if you’re not you should be!) you have most definitely heard me talk up running backs that catch passes and knock those who don’t. It's why […]

Yasmani Grandal Activated On Friday

The Chicago White Sox announced on Friday that they have activated catcher Yasmani Grandal (knee) from the 10-day injured list. The veteran was placed on the injured list on July 6 and underwent surgery the following day to repair the tendon tear in his left knee. When he was in the lineup, Grandal wasn't doing […]

Elijah Moore Hopeful To Play On Friday

New York Jets wide receiver Elijah Moore (quad) has resumed practicing and is hopeful to suit up for Friday's preseason finale versus the Philadelphia Eagles. He ended up missing under two weeks due to a quad issue. There is a ton of upside here with Moore even with the Jets adding reinforcements at wideout. Moore […]

Michael Carter Likely Stuck In Three-Back Committee

New York Jets running back Michael Carter looked solid during their second preseason matchup. Despite that, it sounds like the organization plans to use a three-back committee to open the regular season. Veteran Tevin Coleman and versatile Ty Johnson are the other two backs involved. Although, La'Mical Perine should be thrown into the mix as […]

Week 3 Can Determine No. 2 Battle Between Easton Stick And Chase Daniel

The Los Angeles Chargers have decided to rest many of their starters this preseason, but there are still plenty of spots to be figured out on the depth chart. One of those battles will be the No. 2 quarterback spot behind Justin Herbert. Veteran Chase Daniel entered camp as the No. 2 quarterback, but after […]

Chuba Hubbard Could Cement Status As Backup Running Back Friday

Carolina Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard should get plenty of opportunities to lock down the backup running back job in the final preseason game of the year Friday against the Steelers. Listed as the second-string halfback on the depth chart, Hubbard has been the team's starter during the first two preseason games, as the squad […]

Zach Wilson Getting Praise From Coaching Staff

New York Jets quarterback Zach Wilson has been impressive over two preseason games so far. It'll be interesting to see how Wilson does against first string starters once the regular season begins. Despite that, head coach Robert Saleh said Wilson is "light years ahead of normal rookies" which is high praise for a young quarterback. […]

Baker Mayfield To Play In Preseason Finale Vs. Falcons

Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield will make his preseason debut on Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons. After the quarterback sat out each of his team's first two preseason contests, Mayfield will take the field along with "select starters" in the final tuneup before the regular season begins. With Mayfield drawing the start, Case Keenum will […]

Darrel Williams Listed Ahead Of Jerick McKinnon On Latest Depth Chart

The Kansas City Chiefs released an updated depth chart ahead of their Week 3 preseason game versus the Minnesota Vikings and listed running back Darrel Williams ahead of veteran Jerick McKinnon.

N'Keal Harry Likely Out Four Weeks

New England Patriots wide receiver N'Keal Harry (shoulder) is expected to miss roughly a month of action. This was announced earlier this week, but Harry still won't be available for Week 1 of the regular season. He requested a trade in July, but was playing well in training camp before the injury. His absence should […]

EPL Betting Picks for Matchweek 3: English Premier League

Last weekend offered much-promised but ended in disappointment. After banking a profit on Saturday from Aston Vila beating Newcastle and Leeds United drawing with Everton, Manchester United failed to beat Southampton on Sunday so all that profit evaporated and we ended up breaking even. It could have been a whole heap better as Manchester United dominated […]

Sam Darnold To Face Tough Test Against Steelers Friday

Carolina Panthers quarterback Sam Darnold will be seeing his first extended preseason action on Friday night against a tough Steelers defense.

Jonnu Smith Is Back In Practice

New England Patriots tight end Jonnu Smith (ankle) returned to practice earlier this week. He had been sidelined due to a minor ankle issue, but it wasn't considered serious. He was a full participant on Monday and hasn't missed a beat since then. The addition of Hunter Henry could make things interesting for Smith's usage […]

Erik Jones Roll of the Dice at Daytona

Erik Jones won the Daytona summer race three years ago coming from 29th. He followed that qualifying 28th then nearly winning the Daytona 500 in 2019. After that, it went south. This year, Jones switched from Joe Gibbs Racing to Richard Petty Motorsports. He crashed out of the Daytona 500 like last year's summer race. […]

Kahale Warring Added To Pats Roster

The New England Patriots have added another tight end to their roster this week. They claimed Kahale Warring off waivers from the Houston Texans. Devin Asiasi has been basically the only healthy tight end for the Pats this preseason. New England does have Hunter Henry and Jonnu Smith, so Warring and Asiasi are likely going […]

Yusei Kikuchi Falters After Strong Start

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Yusei Kikuchi looked sharp through the first five innings of Thursday's game against the Kansas City Royals, putting up zeroes the whole way, but it all fell apart in the sixth. Kikuchi exited with the bases loaded and nobody out, having allowed one run on four hits and a walk with […]

Austin Dillon Last Chance For Playoffs at Daytona

Austin Dillon needs some considerable help to make the playoffs. He needs to win or hope he fares well while Tyler Reddick has massive issues or DNF's. Reddick only needs 31 points to clinch a spot if a repeat winner takes the checkered flag. Dillon has won the race in the past in 2018 and […]

Joey Logano Another Crash Risk at Daytona

Joey Logano has had a bad couple of weeks as he has dropped from fifth to eighth in the points standings. That is even as bad as his results at Daytona the past four summers. That's right. The Team Penske driver has had issues in every one of those races from crashes to car trouble […]

Rhamondre Stevenson Moving Up The Depth Chart

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson was taking second handoffs behind Damien Harris earlier this week. It sounds like Stevenson has moved into the backup spot after the Sony Michel trade. Both Stevenson and J.J. Taylor have been impressive during the preseason. Although, it sounds like the fourth round rookie might have the edge […]

Jake Fraley Homers In Loss Thursday

Seattle Mariners outfielder Jake Fraley had a strong day at the plate against the Kansas City Royals Thursday, going 2-for-3 with a home run, a walk, and three RBI. The two-run shot was his ninth of the season and his first since August 12. In just 176 at-bats this year, Fraley has also added nine […]

Mac Jones Has Solid Case For Starting Job

New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones has been impressive through the first two preseason games. However, veteran Cam Newton has played well and appears to be the favorite for the starting job. It's worth noting that Newton missed multiple days of practice because of COVID-19. While Newton was sidelined, Jones took over 500 snaps with […]

Falcons Writer Believes Mike Davis Will Be Workhorse Back

Atlanta Falcons running back Mike Davis will be a part of a rotation at the position, though NFL.com's Scott Bair believes the veteran will end up as the team's workhorse. Davis was thrust into a starting role last season for the Panthers and excelled, totaling 903 scrimmage yards and eight touchdowns on 17.4 touches per […]
