Brian Hoyer Preparing To Pitch In

New England Patriots backup quarterback Brian Hoyer is preparing to pitch in for the AFC title game against the Jaguars with Tom Brady (hand) nursing a hand injury, although a source said Brady's hand "should be OK" for Sunday. Hoyer took all the practice repetitions in practice Thursday with Brady sitting out. It'd be a […]

Case Keenum Set To Face Stiff Pass Rush

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Case Keenum had the fourth best accuracy rate (69.2 percent) when under pressure in 2017, but he'll be facing the best pass-rushing team in the league in the NFC title game this Sunday. The Eagles had a total of 238 quarterback hurries and 81 hits this season. Keenum was good against pressure […]

Patriots Likely To Attack Jaguars Linebackers

The New England Patriots and quarterback Tom Brady are likely to attack the middle of the field with tight end Rob Gronkowski and their running backs in the AFC title game. Jaguars linebackers Telvin Smith and Myles Jack are the primary pass defenders in the second level, and they allowed a combined 949 yards in […]

Tom Brady Wearing Gloves On Both Hands

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady (hand), who jammed his throwing hand in practice Wednesday, was wearing gloves on both his hands on Thursday, which is not the norm for him. "Early in my career I tried using a glove on my throwing hand a little bit. It didn't go too well. I think it's […]

Falcons Looking To Extend Matt Ryan

Atlanta Falcons general manager Thomas Dimitroff said the main focus of the offseason will be to work out a contract extension for quarterback Matt Ryan. Ryan had high expectations coming off his 2016 MVP campaign, and he fell drastically short in 2017 with just 20 touchdowns and 12 interceptions in offensive coordinator Steve Sarkisian's first […]

Steve Sarkisian Being Retained By Falcons

As expected, Atlanta Falcons head coach Dan Quinn said that offensive coordinator Steve Sarkisian will be retained for the 2018 season. In Sarkisian's first year replacing Kyle Shanahan, the Falcons offense took a step backwards. They ranked eighth in yards per game (364.8) but were 15th in points per game (22.1), and quarterback Matt Ryan […]

Deeper DraftKings DFS Sleepers for the Conference Championships

And now there are just four teams left in the NFL playoffs. The New England Patriots are there, like many people expected. The Philadelphia Eagles are there too, which many people also expected at times during the regular season until quarterback Carson Wentz went down with a knee injury and was replaced by the Nick […]

DraftKings DFS Risers and Fallers - Conference Championships

Whether due to their own play, the play of others, or injuries, players' stock increases and decreases on a weekly basis. Perhaps more than any other, the NFL is a league that experiences ups and downs at a rapid pace. With only two games, there’s no room for error and seemingly endless opportunities for improvement. The same […]

Todd Haley, Jeremy Bates In Running For Jets Offensive Coordinator Position

With the New York Jets firing offensive coordinator John Morton on Wednesday, former Steelers offensive coordinator Todd Haley and Jets quarterbacks coach Jeremy Bates are two potential replacements. Bates would make sense from a continuity standpoint and the fact that journeyman quarterback Josh McCown played well for the Jets in 2017 before his late-season injury. […]

Tom Brady Should Be OK

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady (hand) "should be OK" after jamming his throwing hand in practice Wednesday, according to a source close to Brady. Brady's hand may affect him a little bit this weekend against the Jaguars in the AFC title game, but probably not enough to affect his performance. The veteran signal caller […]

Tom Brady Presents Jaguars Defense With Their Toughest Test

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady got back on track last week, throttling the Titans defense for 337 yards and three touchdowns. Brady found receivers all over the field and the offensive line did a solid job keeping him clean in the pocket. This week he will face a Jaguars defense that does exactly what […]

Tom Brady Injures Hand At Practice

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady (hand), who was listed as a limited participant in practice Wednesday, jammed his throwing hand during practice. However, X-rays were negative for structural damage, according to a source. The Pats will likely take it easy with Brady the rest of the week, but the injury isn't serious to keep […]

Jets Firing John Morton

The New York Jets will not retain offensive coordinator John Morton for the 2018 season. There has been consideration given to elevating quarterbacks coach Jeremy Bates to offensive coordinator, but sources say it's not a done deal. The Jets offense surprised many in 2017, from the emergence of wideout Robby Anderson to the surprising play […]

Blake Bortles Has Favorable Matchup Against Patriots

It is hard to tell which Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles will show up from game to game. Will it be the quarterback that converted eight of 14 third downs against the Steelers and made some big-time throws? Or the passer that finished the regular season with five interceptions in his last two games? The […]

Tom Brady, Rex Burkhead, Mike Gillislee Limited

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady (hand) and running backs Rex Burkhead (knee) and Mike Gillislee (knee) were all limited in practice Wednesday. Brady's hand injury is unlikely to be serious, and he'll be out there for the AFC title game against the Jaguars. Brady picked the Titans apart in the Divisional Round, but it […]

Bears Considering Todd Downing To Coach Quarterbacks

The Chicago Bears are considering former Raiders offensive coordinator Todd Downing as their next quarterbacks coach. Texans quarterbacks coach Pat O'Hara is also under consideration for the job. Downing, 37, was Oakland's offensive coordinator in 2017 after spending the last two years as the QBs coach working with Derek Carr. Although Carr took a big […]

Nick Foles Has a Tough Matchup Ahead

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Nick Foles is facing a tough matchup in the NFC Championship Game against the Minnesota Vikings. The Vikings feature an elite defense, and Foles has been struggling to keep the offense moving even against mediocre defenses lately. Out of the four starting quarterbacks left, Foles probably has the lowest ceiling and the […]

Brian Schottenheimer Hired As Seahawks Offensive Coordinator

The Seattle Seahawks hired Brian Schottenheimer as their new offensive coordinator Tuesday. Mike Solari was also named the new offensive line coach. Schottenheimer most recently served as the Colts quarterbacks coach the last two seasons, but he previously was an offensive coordinator with the Jets from 2006-2011, with the St. Louis Rams from 2012-2014 and […]

Case Keenum Will Have Tough Test Against Eagles Defense

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Case Keenum will head into the NFC Championship game against the Eagles with his confidence at an all-time high. Keenum was playing solid football last week against the Saints but it was in the final moments where he really shined in helping create the Minnesota Miracle. He has a career-high 22 touchdown […]

Steve Sarkisian Expected To Return

Atlanta Falcons offensive coordinator Steve Sarkisian is expected to return in 2018 with full confidence from head coach Dan Quinn and his staff. The Falcons took a notable step back in 2017 with Sarkisian in his first full year as the coordinator after the departure of Kyle Shanahan. Quarterback Matt Ryan's numbers were expected to […]

Ben Roethlisberger Backs Todd Haley On Radio Show

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger was asked on his radio show on Tuesday whether he wanted offensive coordinator Todd Haley back in 2018. Roethlisberger responded by saying, "The least amount of change the better. We don't want to have big changes because we're right there, we're on the cusp...We feel we have some great things […]

Titans Not Worried About Marcus Mariota's Development

Tennessee Titans general manager Jon Robinson remains confident that quarterback Marcus Mariota is the right guy for the gig, and Robinson isn't too worried that the team will have yet another head coach guiding the offense in 2018. “Marcus is a pretty resilient guy. He’s a very mentally tough guy,” Robinson said of Mariota. “He […]

Titans To Interview Matt LaFleur

The Tennessee Titans will interview Rams offensive coordinator Matt LaFleur for their vacant head coaching position, according to a person with knowledge of the situation. LaFleur was working under the tutelage of impressive young Rams head coach Sean McVay in 2017, and he also worked with him in Washington. It would be an outside-the-box hire, […]
