Baker Mayfield, Odell Beckham Jr. Not Playing Saturday

The Cleveland Browns will rest many of their starters in the team's second preseason game on Saturday against the Indianapolis Colts. Quarterback Baker Mayfield and wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. are among the starters who will be watching from the sidelines in the contest. Mayfield played sparingly during the preseason opener last week while Beckham […]

Matt Ryan Solid In Third Preseason Game

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan went 10-for-14 for 118 yards in the team's third preseason game against the Jets on Thursday. The offensive line failed to protect him, though, as he took three sacks and was hurried nine times. That's not a good sign early on, as Ryan was sacked 42 times in 2018. The […]

Geno Smith Back At Practice On Friday

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith returned to practice on Friday following a surgical procedure performed last week on his knee. Smith had a cyst removed from his knee, but the minor procedure was only expected to sideline him for a couple of weeks at the most. However, with Smith competing with Paxton Lynch for the […]

Russell Wilson May Play On Sunday

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson was held out of the preseason opener last week, and head coach Pete Carroll bashed on himself for giving the press that information ahead of time. In this week's press conference, Carroll made a point of refusing to reveal whether his starters would play or not, so that leaves the […]

Josh McCown Returning To Play For Eagles

Josh McCown is coming out of retirement to sign with the Philadelphia Eagles, according to sources. The Eagles are giving the veteran a one-year deal that includes $2 million fully guaranteed. The deal could be worth up to $5.4 million. The 40-year-old was needed after backups Cody Kessler (concussion) and Nate Sudfeld (wrist) suffered injuries […]

Josh Rosen Doesn't Stand Out On Friday

Miami Dolphins quarterback Josh Rosen didn't do much to separate himself from Ryan Fitzpatrick in the preseason loss to the Bills on Friday night. In six offensive series, Rosen included two three-and-outs, a turnover on downs and two scoring drives that ended in field goals. He finished 10-for-18 for 102 yards. Head coach Brian Flores […]

Offensive Line Issues Could Hurt Nick Foles

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Nick Foles hasn't played yet in the preseason, but there's already reason to worry about the team's offensive line depth and how that could impact Foles this year. Jacksonville's two starting tackles -- Cam Robinson and Jawaan Taylor -- are injured, and the backup tackles have struggled in pass protection this preseason. […]

Panthers Backup QB Job Still Up For Grabs

None of the Carolina Panthers backup quarterbacks stood out in Friday's preseason action against the Bills. Quarterback Kyle Allen went 4-for-11 for 32 yards. Rookie Will Grier went 10-for-19 for 75 yards but also had several overthrown balls, missed targets and threw an interception that was returned for a score. Taylor Heinicke finished 8-for-12 for […]

Jaguars Release Tanner Lee

The Jacksonville Jaguars have released quarterback Tanner Lee. That leaves the Jags with three quarterbacks on their roster, including starting quarterback Nick Foles and rookie Gardner Minshew. Lee had been fighting with Alex McGough for the third-string job, but it now appears that McGough will either have that spot on the roster or the team […]

Philip Rivers Will Not Play On Sunday

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers will not play on Sunday, according to head coach Anthony Lynn. It's not a surprising move for a team that is currently missing its No. 1 running back, its No. 1 wide receiver, and its No. 1 safety while still holding out hopes for a Super Bowl run. Rivers […]

Unorthodox Draft Strategies

One of the biggest factors left out of the draft-day discussion is the makeup of your league. Analysts often mention the importance of understanding league scoring, but then fail to mention how important it is to understand your competition. There are many reasons why your competition is important. Does your league love RBs? Do they […]

Josh Allen Impresses in Win Over Carolina

Second-year quarterback Josh Allen took another step forward in Buffalo's second preseason game, a 27-14 victory over Carolina. Allen looked sharp from the jump, completing seven of nine passes for 103 yards, leading scoring drives in the only two possessions he played. Of those seven completions, five were to new Buffalo receiver Cole Beasley, including […]

Chase Daniel Passes For 103 Yards Against Giants

Chicago Bears quarterback Chase Daniel completed 12 of 18 passes for 103 yards in the Bears 32-13 preseason loss to the Giants. Daniel again was modestly efficient, rarely taking a lot of shots down the field. He made some nice connections with wide receiver Javon Wims and protected the football. Daniel is expected to back […]

Carson Wentz Could Have a New Backup Soon

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz could be working with a new backup soon. Wentz has sat out the preseason so far but has seen Nate Sudfeld (wrist) and Cody Kessler (concussion) get hurt under center. Rookie Clayton Thorson is the only one left on the depth chart, and since the Eagles certainly don't want their […]

Eli Manning, Daniel Jones Look Good Friday

The New York Giants took on the Chicago Bears for their second preseason game on Friday. The Giants showed a lot of promising signs, beating Chicago 32-13. Quarterback Eli Manning took the field to start the game and went 4-for-4 for 42 yards, capping the drive with a touchdown pass to wide receiver Bennie Fowler. Next […]

Aaron Rodgers Expected To Practice Sunday

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (back), who was scratched from the preseason game against the Ravens on Thursday with a tight back, is expected to be back on the practice field this Sunday. The 35-year-old Rodgers hasn't played in a preseason finale since 2012, so the most likely time he'd play would be the […]

Jimmy Garoppolo Takes Snaps Against Broncos

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo (knee) took snaps against the Broncos in a joint practice on Friday for the first time since he tore the ACL in his left knee last September. He threw five straight interceptions in practice on Wednesday but was much better Friday, going 10-for-15 with one interception while moving the […]

Chargers, Philip Rivers To Address Contract After Season

The Los Angeles Chargers and quarterback Philip Rivers are both in agreement that he will play out his contract in 2019 and address his status after the season, according to sources. Entering his age-38 season, Rivers is scheduled to make $16 million in 2019 in the final year of his four-year, $83.25 million extension. Despite […]

Kyler Murray Struggles In Preseason Action

Arizona Cardinals rookie quarterback Kyler Murray was flagged twice for false starts in the team's preseason game against the Raiders on Thursday because of his cadence, in which he calls for the snap. Quarterbacks had eight false-start penalties in 2018, and none had more than one in a game, according to ESPN Stats and Information. […]

Bills Offensive Line Remains Top Concern of Preseason

Entering their second preseason game against Carolina on Friday night, Buffalo Bills offensive coordinator Brian Daboll is still experimenting with different groupings of offensive linemen and would not commit to naming a starting five yet, saying only that it was narrowed down to around seven players. With potential breakout running back Devin Singletary, an ancient […]

Marcus Mariota Outperforming Ryan Tannehill In Camp

Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota has been surrounded with doubt going into his make-or-break fifth season in the league. Despite recent claims that he may not be a lock to start at quarterback in Week 1, Mariota continues to outplay Ryan Tannehill in team drills. Although Mariota is expected by all credible accounts to be […]

Aaron Rodgers May Not Play In Preseason

Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said that it's not necessary that quarterback Aaron Rodgers play in the preseason. The veteran quarterback was scheduled to get some action in on Thursday against the Ravens, but the team decided to err on the side of caution and hold Rodgers out due to a tight back. […]

Josh Allen Impresses in Practices With Carolina

Second-year quarterback Josh Allen earned high marks for his performance for Buffalo during the team's two joint practices with the Carolina Panthers this week, showing calm in the pocket while making sharp underneath throws, and not trying to force anything dangerous down the field. By NFBC ADP, Allen is currently the 22nd quarterback being taken […]

My wife and I have started to watch Hard Knocks again, as is tradition along with writing these columns and bickering with my fantasy football league about rule changes that we don't need as much as would like to spar about for no reason other than we're all in our late 20's now and act […]
