Center Will Be A Position To Watch For Giants During Camp

The New York Giants have fewer concerns on the offensive line than most teams but will enter training camp with one glaring question mark, the man snapping to franchise quarterback Daniel Jones. Experience favors 27-year-old Spencer Pulley, who has started 26 NFL games, including nine with New York in 2018. Other candidates include the 6-foot-6, 318-pound […]

Players Not Expected To Return To Facilities Until Training Camp

NFL players aren't expected to return to their team facilities until training camp, according to sources. Most teams have reopened their facilities on a limited basis for essential employees during the coronavirus pandemic, but healthy players aren't allowed to return yet. Commissioner Roger Goodell informed teams on Tuesday that they must hold training camps at […]

Las Vegas Raiders 2020 Fantasy Outlook

Ah, Jon Gruden’s team will no longer be known as the Oakland Raiders, but the Las Vegas Raiders. That may take a while to get used to or even say, as I have still heard Oakland being mentioned. No better way to debut in a new NFL city than a Monday nighter against Drew Brees, […]

Baker Mayfield Can Improve On Deep Throws

Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield's deep-ball passer rating was significantly worse in 2019 (72.9) than it was in his rookie season (106). However, he still had a positive completion percentage on his deep attempts last season, despite attempting tight-window passes down the field on 40.6 percent of his attempts. Mayfield also had the luxury of […]

Matt Ryan's Numbers May Be Deceiving On Deep Throws

On the surface, Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan's 3:5 touchdown-to-interception ratio and 69.3 passer rating on deep passes looks very mediocre or even below-average. Atlanta's offense didn't live up to expectations in 2019, and Ryan threw into tight windows on 34.5 percent of his deep attempts. That partly helps explain his five picks. However, he […]

Ryan Fitzpatrick Not Afraid To Take Deep Shots

Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick led the team in rushing last season, but he was also surprisingly effective taking shots deep down the field. The grizzled veteran wasn't afraid to throw the ball downfield, even if the coverage was tight, as 56.6 percent of his 53 deep pass attempts were into tight windows. Fitzpatrick had […]

Kirk Cousins Was Very Efficient On Deep Passes

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins had a 9:1 touchdown-to-interception ratio on deep passes in 2019 and the highest passer rating (121.5) on such throws among NFL.com's Nick Shook's top-10 best deep passers last season. But his deep shots weren't nearly as risky as other QBs, as Cousins attempted deep shots into tight windows just 20.4 […]

Will Fuller V Critical To Deshaun Watson's Success Downfield

Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson enjoyed throwing the ball deep in 2019, attempting a deep pass on 14 percent of his throws last year, the fifth-highest mark among signal-callers. With receiver Will Fuller V on the field, Watson attempted a deep pass on 17 percent of his throws since 2017, as opposed to 11 percent […]

Kyler Murray's Dual-Threat Ability Makes Him The Real Deal

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray benefitted from open receivers deep down the field in his rookie season and also had a very low pressure rate (13.1 percent) on his deep attempts, but it was his own dual-threat ability to use his legs as a rusher that afforded him the chance to excel deep down the […]

Tom Brady Was Fourth-Best Deep Passer In 2019

Despite having a down year in 2019 overall, Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady was actually the fourth-best deep passer, per Next Gen Stats. He had seven touchdowns and only two interceptions on deep balls with Julian Edelman as his top target. Brady was pressured often (40.7 percent) and was throwing to receivers that were […]

Trent Williams Praises Jimmy Garoppolo

San Francisco 49ers Pro Bowl left tackle Trent Williams blocked for nine different quarterbacks in the last decade with the Redskins, but he thinks quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo is among the best he's played with heading into the 2020 season. "I think Jimmy G is awesome," Williams said. "I think he has proven that he's a […]

Patrick Mahomes Has The Weapons To Beat Defenses Deep

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes' expected completion rate on deep passes is higher than most QBs in the league because of his speedy weapons, namely receiver Tyreek Hill, whose 18 touchdowns on deep targets since 2016 is second-most in the NFL behind Antonio Brown. Mahomes had a 30.3 percent rate of targets considered to […]

Russell Wilson Continues To Shine Down The Field

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson has been one of the best deep passers in the NFL since 2016. He threw 32 TD passes on deep throws from 2016 to 2018 and had 1.5 yards of target separation on deep passes last season, which was the lowest in the NFL. Wilson makes a habit of extended […]

Dak Prescott Listed As Top Deep Passer Of 2019

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott tops NFL.com's Nick Shook's list of the top-10 deep passers from the 2019 season.

Prescott had a completion percentage of 44.4 […]

Dallas Cowboys 2020 Fantasy Outlook

The Dallas Cowboys look to bring a highly explosive offense to the field in 2020 under new coach Mike McCarthy. Luckily, they have the firepower to do so with quarterback Dak Prescott, running back Ezekiel Elliott, and wide receivers Amari Cooper, Michael Gallup, and CeeDee Lamb. This means quite a few fantasy pickups from this […]

Patrick Mahomes, Offense Holding Informal Workouts

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and other members of the team's offense have been conducting informal workouts.

Cardinals Offense Could Be Explosive Under Kliff Kingsbury

Arizona Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury has had plenty of time to get more creative while designing new offensive plays during the COVID-19 pandemic this offseason. “Kliff is one of the more mad-genius, offensive-minded guys in this league because of how he can put players in different positions to go out there and be successful […]

Mitchell Trubisky Taking QB Competition Head-On

Tennessee Titans 2020 Fantasy Outlook 

The Tennessee Titans had a turbulent 2019 season in which Heisman QB Marcus Mariota was benched and former Dolphins QB Ryan Tannehill took the helm. From there, it was a Cinderella story of sorts as the AFC South team fought its way back to relevance after sitting at 2-4 to conclude Week 6. The team […]

Baker Mayfield In Position For Bounce-Back Year?

NFL.com's Bucky Brooks thinks that Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield is primed for the best season of his career in new head coach Kevin Stefanski's offense. Cleveland's 12-personnel packages featuring tight ends Austin Hooper and David Njoku, along with receivers Odell Beckham Jr. and Jarvis Landry, and running back Nick Chubb, will be hard to […]

Dak Prescott Unlikely To Play Under Franchise Tag

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott has not yet signed the franchise tender as he seeks a long-term deal from the team.

Since the franchise tag was introduced in 1993, only eight quarterbacks have […]

Minnesota Vikings 2020 Fantasy Outlook

The Minnesota Vikings have been a streaky team in recent memory.

The Vikes enter 2020 as an NFC contender once […]

Cam Newton May Wait To Sign

With free-agent quarterback Cam Newton's market cooling over the last month, according to sources, he is expected to take his time before joining a team.
