Panthers Like Teddy Bridgewater's Ability To Go Deep

Carolina Panthers quarterback Teddy Bridgewater wasn't asked to go deep often in the Saints offense that focused more on yards after the catch, but head coach Matt Rhule thinks Bridgewater "is exactly what we want." His 6.2 intended air yards per pass attempt last year is right in line with Drew Brees' 6.4 intended air […]

Max Meyer Likely To Be Included In 60-Player Pool

Miami Marlins first-round pick Max Meyer, a hard-throwing right-handed pitcher from the University of Minnesota, is likely to be included in the 60-player pool this season. The Marlins and Meyer have already verbally agreed to a contract, but of course the actual signing isn't official until "the ink dries." Still, Meyer is fully expected to […]

DeVante Parker Excels On Contested Catches

Miami Dolphins wide receiver DeVante Parker had the second-most receiving yards last year on contested catches (400), behind only Kenny Golladay, according to Pro Football Focus. Parker's ability to make catches with defenders draped all over him helped him to a breakout season in 2019. He finished with career highs across the board in receptions […]

Gary Jennings Learning The Slot, Boundary Positions

Miami Dolphins second-year wide receiver Gary Jennings is learning the slot, where he had success at West Virginia, and the boundary receiver positions. If Jennings makes the team, he could be used to create mismatches on smaller, slower players. He was drafted by the Seahawks in the fourth round last year and claimed off waivers […]

Darnell Mooney's Explosiveness Has Coaches Excited

Chicago Bears rookie wide receiver Darnell Mooney has not been able to work out with the coaching staff this offseason, but that hasn't curtailed receivers coach Mike Furrey's excitement about the rookie. “He’s going to probably be one of the most explosive guys that we have in our room in regard to matching his speed […]

Dolphins Offensive Line In Transition

Miami Dolphins right tackle Jesse Davis could be the only 2019 starter assured of a starting job in 2020. Offensive line coach Steve Marshall is the team's third offensive line coach in the last 11 months. Miami is still determining whether second-rounder Robert Hunt is better suited to play guard or tackle as a rookie. […]

Allen Robinson II's Leadership Making An Impact

Chicago Bears wide receiver Allen Robinson II continues to show his leadership skills during this unprecedented offseason. Robinson has been very vocal during the team's Zoom meetings, according to Bears receivers coach Mike Furrey, and has been getting on players to stay focused. Furrey told reporters that Robinson is “one of the most professional players […]

Reds Sign First-Rounder Austin Hendrick

The Cincinnati Reds signed 2020 first-round draft pick Austin Hendrick to a $4 million contract on Friday. Hendrick was widely regarded as one of the top high school outfielders in the draft, prompting the Reds to use the No. 12 overall pick on the Mississippi State recruit. The lefty has plenty of power and is […]

Anthony Miller Hoping To Improve Preparation

Chicago Bears wide receiver Anthony Miller is working with the team's coaching staff to improve his preparation before games. Miller got off to a slow start in 2019 after offseason shoulder surgery, producing only four receptions through his first four games. But the third-year receiver ended strong, finishing up the season with 52 catches for […]

Jake Lamb Should Have Inside Track At DH

Arizona Diamondbacks corner infielder Jake Lamb should have the inside track as the primary designated hitter this year with the universal DH in play in both leagues. However, injuries and inconsistency (75 OPS+) the last two years have left him with plenty to prove. Lamb has a weak .594 OPS against lefties, too. But if […]

Bears Coaches Have High Hopes For Riley Ridley

Chicago Bears wide receiver Riley Ridley has plenty to prove after a non-descript rookie season in 2019. But receivers coach Mike Furrey has high hopes for the second-year wideout, telling reporters, "I think the biggest growth were going to see with anybody in our room is going to be Ridley." Ridley, whose brother Calvin plays […]

Andrew McCutchen, Jay Bruce Could Split DH Role

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Andrew McCutchen (knee) could be used frequently in the designated hitter spot early in the season so that he can ease his way into a tight schedule while coming off a torn ACL. But when he's ready for the outfield full time, veteran outfielder Jay Bruce could be the primary option at […]

Daniel Murphy Likely To Be Primary Rockies DH

Colorado Rockies youngsters Garrett Hampson, Sam Hilliard and Brendan Rodgers could be options for the designated hitter with the universal DH in play this year, but the Rockies will likely use first baseman/second baseman Daniel Murphy for much of the time. With Murphy at DH, Ryan McMahon could play first, with Hampson or Rodgers at […]

Not Much Traction Between Chiefs, Chris Jones

There hasn't been much traction on long-term contract talks between the Kansas City Chiefs and defensive tackle Chris Jones, according to a source. The Chiefs want Jones back long-term, but the coronavirus pandemic has played a big part with teams not know what the salary cap will be next year. Clarity from the league before […]

Washington Redskins quarterback Dwayne Haskins Jr. was praised for his arm strength by Doug Williams, the senior vice president of player development.

Matt Ryan Compares 2020 Skill Players to 2012 Unit

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan said that the skill players on the 2020 roster compare favorably with those from the 2012 unit, a team that came close to reaching the Super Bowl. The 2012 offense featured Michael Turner, Hall of Famer Tony Gonzalez and an excellent duo of receivers on the outside in Roddy White […]

Ryan Zimmerman May Not Play In 2020

Washington Nationals first baseman Ryan Zimmerman is still debating whether to play this season. Among several other issues, he cited the risk the novel coronavirus would pose to his mother, who has multiple sclerosis, and a three-week-old child. From a fantasy perspective, Zimmerman was already a fringe player due to his age, an 89 wRC+ […]

Jason Pierre-Paul Undergoes Minor Surgical Procedure Friday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers linebacker Jason Pierre-Paul had arthroscopic knee surgery on Friday morning to "clean up cartilage" that was causing discomfort. His three- to four-week expected recovery should have him ready when training camps begin in late July. It's not related in any way to the scary neck injury he suffered in a car accident […]

Kyle Schwarber Profiles Better As DH

Chicago Cubs outfielder Kyle Schwarber has never been much to look at defensively, which is why he figures to be the team's primary designated hitter with the universal DH in play in 2020. Steven Souza Jr. missed all of last year with a left knee injury, but if he's healthy, left field should be his […]

Small Number Of Brewers Test Positive For COVID-19

Milwaukee Brewers general manager David Stearns said "we have had a small number of individuals'' in the organization test positive for COVID-19. "They are asymptomatic and are doing well.'' Stearns did not differentiate players from staff, Tom Haudricourt reports. Multiple teams have now reported similar scenarios within their organizations, and it certainly raises concerns about […]

Matt Carpenter Could Preserve Health In DH Spot

MLB.com's David Adler projects St. Louis Cardinals third baseman Matt Carpenter to be the team's primary designated hitter with the universal DH in play this year. Carpenter has been in the MVP conversation multiple times in his career, most recently in 2018, but injuries caused him to struggle to a .226/.334/.392 slash line in 2019. […]
