Patrick Queen Should Start From Day 1

Baltimore Ravens rookie linebacker Patrick Queen, who fell to the Ravens at 28th overall in the first round of the draft, has the instincts and athleticism to start in Week 1. It's unknown if Queen will play on the weak side or in the middle, but either way, he should be starting right away in […]

Will Richardson Moving To Left Tackle

Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Doug Marrone said that offensive tackle Will Richardson is moving to left tackle full time, with rookie Ben Bartch slotting in at right guard. Bartch was a fourth-round pick in this year's draft, but he should start immediately on Jacksonville's offensive line. Cam Robinson is the team's starting blind-side protector for […]

Ryan Blaney Is Too Much Of A Risk For Darlington Lineups

Historically, Team Penske driver Ryan Blaney has never fared well at Darlington. In five starts at the South Carolina track, Blaney’s best finish was 13th, which he scored last year and in 2016. Blaney also picked up negative place differential in three of his five starts at Darlington, including last year’s race. The driver of […]

Jordan Glasgow Could Become Core Special Teamer

Indianapolis Colts rookie linebacker Jordan Glasgow is expected to make the 53-man roster and be a core special teamer from Day 1, in the opinion of Kevin Bowen. The Colts think Glasgow should be able to transition from being a strong Big Ten special teams player in college. While he should be able to make […]

Dezmon Patmon Unlikely To Make Immediate Impact

Indianapolis Colts rookie wide receiver Dezmon Patmon, who had just 12 career starts in college, is unlikely to make an immediate impact in his rookie season. Wideouts T.Y. Hilton, fellow rookie Michael Pittman Jr., Parris Campbell and Zach Pascal are four locks at the position. Patmon will be in the mix with Marcus Johnson, Reece […]

Isaiah Rodgers Must Stand Out On Special Teams

Indianapolis Colts rookie cornerback Isaiah Rodgers must become a special teams contributor as a gunner and/or return man if he wants to make the team this year. The 5-foot-10, 170-pounder should get a look as a backup for the nickel spot on defense, but veteran T.J. Carrie could also be a fit there. The Colts […]

Rob Windsor Not A Lock To Make Roster

Indianapolis Colts rookie defensive tackle Rob Windsor is not a lock to make the final roster or earn playing time in 2020. He's in the mix at the deepest position on the Colts roster, which doesn't make it any easier. Windsor is expected to play the one-technique, which would mean backing up Grover Stewart. However, […]

Danny Pinter Unlikely To Start In 2020

Indianapolis Colts rookie offensive guard Danny Pinter is unlikely to start in his rookie season, barring an injury to the offensive line. It's unrealistic that he'd push right guard Mark Glowinski in this abbreviated offseason on top of the fact that Pinter was a right tackle in college. The Colts have talked about Pinter potentially […]

Jacob Eason Expected To Make Final Roster

Indianapolis Colts rookie quarterback Jacob Eason is expected to make the team's final 53-man roster, in the opinion of Kevin Bowen. However, he's unlikely to take a snap in 2020 unless both Philip Rivers and Jacoby Brissett go down with injuries. Rivers, despite his age, has made 224 straight starts in the NFL. Expect Eason […]

Julian Blackmon Could Open On PUP List

Indianapolis Colts general manager Chris Ballard has mentioned that rookie safety Julian Blackmon (knee) isn't likely to contribute until October, which would put him at around 10 months removed from his torn ACL. That means Blackmon could be a candidate to open the year on the Physically Unable to Perform list. Even when he's healthy, […]

Jonathan Taylor Will Play From Day 1

Indianapolis Colts rookie running back Jonathan Taylor was drafted at No. 41 overall and will play a lot in his rookie season alongside Marlon Mack, especially with the historic college resume that comes with him.

Dwayne Haskins Has Slimmed Down

Washington Redskins quarterback Dwayne Haskins Jr. revealed on his Twitter account that he has slimmed down to 220 pounds this offseason after being listed at 230 pounds in his rookie season in 2019.

Matthew Stafford Not Concerned By Trade Rumors

Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford hasn't given much thought to trade rumors earlier this year and has always prepared as if he'd be the team's quarterback in 2020 and for many years to come. The rumors started with the possibility that the Lions would draft Alabama's Tua Tagovailoa at No. 3 overall. Stafford also put […]

Colts Sign Jonathan Taylor, Jacob Eason

The Indianapolis Colts have signed running back Jonathan Taylor and quarterback Jacob Eason to their rookie deals. Taylor is expected to share lead back duties with Marlon Mack initially but has the profile to be the best early-down back from the 2020 NFL Draft and a solid fantasy flex option right off the bat. He's […]

Steelers Want James Conner To Return To Featured Role

Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin told reporters that he wants running back James Conner to return to a "featured runner" role in 2020. Conner operated, and thrived in that role in 2018 and was set to do so again in 2019 before suffering through a variety of injuries that limited him to 10 games. […]

Raiders Were Interested In LeSean McCoy

The Las Vegas Raiders had been in talks with running back LeSean McCoy before they signed Devontae Booker. The Raiders also had talked with veteran Frank Gore, who ended up signing with the Jets.

Most Improved Offenses After the NFL Draft

The NFL Draft revamped some offenses overnight. With a bevy of stud receivers on the market, many teams took advantage and bolstered their passing attacks. In addition, key QBs, RBs, and TEs were taken to plug in some holes on the depth chart for many teams. Some offenses that were previously avoidable in fantasy football […]

Cam Akers - Fantasy Football Rookie Spotlight

Jalen Reagor - Fantasy Football Rookie Spotlight

The Philadelphia Eagles made Jalen Reagor the fourth wide receiver selected in the 2020 NFL Draft. While there was very little consensus regarding the top receivers in this class, most analysts had Reagor somewhere in or near their top five before the combine and firmly in their top eight or so post-combine. Reagor was probably […]

Bull Rush - Wide Receivers With Target Share Increases

What is a wide receiver without a target? A warm body on a gridiron, that's it. Each and every summer we face the same question because most NFL franchises and also some players themselves decide to go try and test new assets and places. Every time a contract runs out, the possibility of finding a […]

Jedrick Wills Drawing Comparisons To Jason Peters

Cleveland Browns rookie offensive tackle Jedrick Wills, the 10th overall pick in the draft and the second of four offensive tackles to come off the board within the first 13 picks, will shift over to the left side to protect quarterback Baker Mayfield's blind side immediately. He'll have left guard Joel Bitonio, who was selected […]

D'Andre Swift Compared To Josh Jacobs

Detroit Lions rookie running back D'Andre Swift will enter the 2020 season behind 2018 second-rounder Kerryon Johnson, but Johnson's injury issues have limited him to just one 100-yard game since October of 2018. Swift can excel as both a runner and receiver out of the backfield, giving Detroit plenty of options to complement Johnson. NFL […]

Xavier McKinney Might Have Seamless Transition

New York Giants rookie safety Xavier McKinney, a second-round pick in the draft, can do it all in the secondary and should be ready to play right away in Week 1. McKinney's coach at Alabama, Nick Saban, said that his teams typically do similar stuff to NFL teams from a coverage standpoint, making McKinney's transition […]

Cam Akers Has Chance To Be Leading Man In LA

Los Angeles Rams rookie running back Cam Akers, a second-round pick at 52nd overall, has a good shot at becoming the team's leading running back in his first season. Akers has the build and makeup to be an every-down player in the NFL and should be a great fit in head coach Sean McVay's zone-heavy […]

Seahawks, Browns Discussed Russell Wilson Trade In 2018

The Seattle Seahawks talked with the Cleveland Browns about a potential trade that would have sent quarterback Russell Wilson to Cleveland for the No. 1 overall pick in the 2018 draft. According to a source with knowledge of the situation, the Browns believe the idea was "floated" conceptually, but the talks did happen. The placement […]

Dolphins Looking At Logan Ryan?

Free-agent defensive back Logan Ryan was reportedly asking for more than $10 million per season from the Miami Dolphins, according to the Miami Herald. The 29-year-old is coming off a strong season in 2019, but that price is a bit too high for most organizations. Ryan recorded 113 tackles, 4.5 sacks and four interceptions through […]
