Mike McCoy and Rob Chudzinski are the top two candidates for the Buffalo Bills vacancy at offensive coordinator, according to a source.

Matt Rhule to Return to Baylor, Will Not Be Next Colts Head Coach
Baylor Bears head coach Matt Rhule is no longer being considered for the vacant Indianapolis Colts head coaching position, as he has elected to return to Baylor for the upcoming college season. Rhule is well respected in the college football community but didn't necessarily boast a lot of experience that would indicate success as an […]
Steve Wilks Out of the Running for Colts Head Coach Spot
Despite having been expected to interview with the Indianapolis Colts for their head coach vacancy some time this week, Carolina Panthers defensive coordinator Steve Wilks reportedly has no plans to do so with the team, appearing to be more focused on the offensive side of the ball for their hire. Former head coach Chuck Pagano […]
Norv Turner Hired As Offensive Coordinator
The Carolina Panthers "agreed in principle" to make Norv Turner their offensive coordinator Thursday, according to a source. This was expected to happen for the last couple of days, and now it looks to be official. It's somewhat of an odd fit, since Turner typically works with pocket passers instead of dual threats like quarterback […]
Drew Brees Not Guaranteed Repeat of Last Week
New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees lit up the Panthers for 376 yards in a first-round playoff victory, as Carolina stacked the box in an effort to take away the run game. Minnesota will likely do the same with even greater success, as they ranked first in rush defense this season. That doesn't mean Brees […]
Cowboys Offensive Line Coach Frank Pollack Will Not Return in 2018
Dallas Cowboys offensive line coach Frank Pollack will not return to the team for the 2018 season. This will be the sixth change on head coach Jason Garrett's staff since the season ended and is considered the most significant so far because of all the resources the team has put into its running game. Rumored […]
Pat Shurmur The Favorite To Be The Next Cardinals Head Coach
Vikings offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur is the favorite to be the next Arizona Cardinals head coach, according to the same reporter who was the first to state that Bruce Arians was retiring. Although there have been no significant developments in terms of who will get the job, Shurmur has to be considered an interesting option […]
Ben Roethlisberger Draws Tough Playoff Matchup
Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger pulls a tough playoff matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars this Sunday. The Steelers, coming off a first-round bye, will welcome the Jaguars to town in a rematch from Week 5, which saw Pittsburgh lose 30-9. Roethlisberger turned in his worst performance of the season back then, completing 33 of 55 […]
NFL Rookies To Watch In The Divisional Round
Each week, we will look at rookies who have either performed well the previous few weeks or who have a favorable matchup in the upcoming week. These may be high-profile names or under-the-radar depth players; the only thing that matters is that they are first-year pros ready to make a name for themselves. Hopefully, by […]
Marcus Mariota Needs To Come Up Big For Titans
Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota has not had the big statistical year that everyone expected, but he showed last week just why everyone in the organization is fully behind him. Mariota led three straight touchdown drives in the comeback win against the Kansas City Chiefs, including throwing a touchdown to himself. Mariota's toughness and will […]

Matt Rhule Interviewed to be Next Colts Head Coach
According to ESPN Staff Writer Adam Rittenberg, Baylor coach Matt Rhule interviewed for the Indianapolis Colts head coaching vacancy sometime earlier this week. Rhule just completed his first season with the Baylor Bears in November after four years as the head coach of the Temple Owls, whom he transformed from a 2-10 team during his […]
Seahawks Fire Tom Cable
The Seattle Seahawks fired offensive line coach Tom Cable on Wednesday. The Seahawks are revamping their entire offense and defense this offseason, as they also parted ways with offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell, defensive coordinator Kris Richard and quarterbacks coach Carl Davis. It's not a surprise, as Seattle's offensive line was among the worst in the […]
Panthers Finalizing Deal With Norv Turner
The Carolina Panthers are finalizing a deal to make Norv Turner their next offensive coordinator, according to a league source. Turner's son, Scott, will also join the team as the new quarterbacks coach, according to another source. Turner and his son will be tasked with improving quarterback Cam Newton's accuracy and efficiency issues through the […]
Matt Ryan Back At Practice
Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan, who missed practice Tuesday to attend to a personal matter, is back at practice Wednesday. There's nothing to see here. Ryan will be fine for the Divisional matchup against the Eagles this weekend, where he'll be a sleeper DFS play. Although Ryan disappointed overall in 2017 after earning MVP honors […]
Packers Hire Frank Cignetti as Quarterbacks Coach
According to Tom Silverstein, the Green Bay Packers have hired Frank Cignetti to be the new quarterbacks coach. Cignetti was most recently the quarterbacks coach for the Giants and had previously worked with Green Bay head coach Mike McCarthy in stints in Pittsburgh and New Orleans. It is unclear how Cignetti will perform in the […]
"Zero Chance" Steve Sarkisian Leaves
Atlanta Falcons head coach Dan Quinn said there is "zero chance" that offensive coordinator Steve Sarkisian leaves the team to take the same position with the Seattle Seahawks next season, according to ESPN's Vaughn McClure. Sarkisian worked for Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll with USC. Seattle recently fired offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell, who had been […]
Nick Foles a Mediocre Starting Option for the Divisional Round
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Nick Foles is a middling option at best for this week's Divisional Round of the NFL Playoffs. The Eagles seem almost certain to run their offense through Jay Ajayi and the running game, so Foles may have limited chances to throw. Foles has been a serviceable backup, but he's struggled in his […]
Biggest Quarterback Busts - 2017 Year in Review
Going into the 2017 season, I implored fantasy strategists in a long article to give up on waiting for quarterback, and instead pick one of the top-five guys in place of a standard third or fourth-round selection. Years of fantasy football statistics and results had pointed to the fact that only a handful of quarterbacks […]
Panthers Expected To Interview Norv Turner
The Carolina Panthers are expected to interview Norv Turner for their offensive coordinator position, and he is believed to be a top candidate for the position, according to sources. Turner is a good friend of head coach Ron Rivera's from their time coaching together for the San Diego Chargers. Turner has his fair share of […]
John Morton Staying With Jets
New York Jets offensive coordinator John Morton, who was rumored to be a candidate to join head coach Jon Gruden's staff in Oakland, will remain in New York as the offensive coordinator in 2018. Despite the Jets surprising with veteran Josh McCown under center for most of the year, they finished 28th in total offense […]
Ryan Tannehill Expected To Be Ready For Offseason Program
Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill (knee) has been recovering nicely from major knee surgery last August, and he's expected to be ready for the offseason program at the beginning of April. He has been throwing and walking without a limp. It's good news for Tannehill, who will without a doubt be Miami's starting quarterback in […]
Tom Brady Set Up To Thrive Against Titans
New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady begins his playoff quest for another title when the Patriots take on the Titans on Saturday night. Brady heads into the playoffs with plenty to prove after a week of off-the-field headlines and two months of a decrease in his production. He has not thrown for over 300 yards […]
Case Keenum Has Decent Matchup Against Saints
Minnesota Vikings quarterback Case Keenum will take on a Saints defense that allowed the 16th most fantasy points to opposing passers this season. Keenum will have to be at his best against a highly opportunistic New Orleans defense. Including the playoffs, the Saints have been ball hawks lately, racking up nine interceptions over their last […]
Zack Martin Has Surgery on His Elbow
Dallas Cowboys right guard Zack Martin (elbow) had a clean-up procedure done on his right elbow. It will knock him out of the Pro Bowl, but he's fully expected to be ready for the start of the offseason program. Martin was a key part of the Cowboys offensive line and is slated for the same […]
Jon Gruden Officially Announced As Raiders Coach
The Oakland Raiders officially introduced new head coach Jon Gruden during a press conference Tuesday. It was poorly kept secret since last week that Gruden would replace former head coach Jack Del Rio, and the Raiders have signed Gruden to a 10-year, $100 million deal, which is the largest in the history of the NFL. […]
Blake Bortles Can't Make Mistakes Against Steelers
Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles will have a tough matchup against a Steelers defense that allowed the ninth fewest fantasy points to quarterbacks this season. Bortles won the first playoff game of his career last week but rushed for more yards (88) than passing yards (87). The Steelers will be looking for revenge after the […]
Norv Turner A Candidate For Carolina's Offensive Coordinator Position
Norv Turner could be at the top of the list to become the Carolina Panthers' next offensive coordinator after the team fired Mike Shula on Tuesday. Turner hired Panthers head coach Ron Rivera as an assistant while with the San Diego Chargers, and Rivera is known to hire assistants that he's worked with before. Turner […]
