Raheem Mostert Puts On Muscle

San Francisco 49ers running back Raheem Mostert said that he has put on more muscle this offseason and thinks it's necessary in order to shoulder a 200-carry workload in 2020.

Dalvin Cook, Team Still Not Close On New Deal

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook and the team have had "productive talks" regarding a new deal but are reportedly not close to reaching an agreement.

Ke'Shawn Vaughn To Be Pass-Catching Back?

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers aren't sold on running back Ronald Jones II as a pass-catching back for quarterback Tom Brady, so there will be added pressure on rookie third-rounder Ke'Shawn Vaughn to learn the protection schemes in an abbreviated offseason. NFL.com's Gregg Rosenthal doesn't rule out Tampa making a veteran pickup or low-level trade at […]

Miles Sanders Ready To Be Lead Ball Carrier

Philadelphia Eagles running back Miles Sanders said he is ready to be the main ball carrier and believes that is why the team drafted him prior to last season. In 2019 Sanders led the team in carries, but only handled 179 carries while ceding work to Jordan Howard and Boston Scott. Scott is still around, […]

Broncos Offense More Suited To Melvin Gordon's Strengths?

Denver Broncos running back Melvin Gordon III, who had 6,113 scrimmage yards and three seasons with 12-plus touchdowns in five seasons with the Chargers, said that the LA offense was holding him back and "didn't play out to my strengths." "But I feel like Denver kinda runs my style of football, and I think it's […]

Ezekiel Elliott Should Benefit From Supporting Cast

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott may flourish from the addition of rookie wide receiver CeeDee Lamb along with the duo of Amari Cooper and Michael Gallup all surrounding him this upcoming season. With a plethora of options on the offensive end for the Cowboys in 2020, Elliot could benefit the most when opposing defenses are […]

Kenyan Drake An Underrated Fantasy Prospect?

Arizona Cardinals running back Kenyan Drake is on a list of underrated fantasy players to watch during the upcoming 2020 season. "The most obvious choice among fantasy veterans is Drake.

Joe Mixon And Team Engage In "Productive Talks"

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon and the team recently had "productive talks" regarding a new contract. However, while this is encouraging news, both parties aren't close to a new deal, with both sides prepared for a potential holdout this summer if necessary. The 23-year-old finished with 1,137 yards in 2019, good for eighth in […]

A.J. Dillon Ahead Of Jamaal Williams As Aaron Jones' Backup

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones undoubtedly will be the team's lead back again in 2020, but the draft capital used on rookie A.J. Dillon (second-round pick) suggests that he'll see more work as the No. 2 over Jamaal Williams. Williams saw 373 offensive snaps in 2019 as Jones' primary backup. The Packers are […]

Kerryon Johnson, D'Andre Swift Will Share The Load

Detroit Lions running back Kerryon Johnson is expected to share the backfield load with rookie D'Andre Swift in 2020. Johnson has a nice all-around game and has 621 snaps in the last two years, but he's also been a bit injury-prone. Swift is more explosive as a runner and could be more polished in the […]

Tom Brady Holds Throwing Session With Teammates

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady and around eight of his teammates conducted a two-hour throwing session on Tuesday at Berkeley Preparatory School. Bucs receivers, tight ends and running backs were present, including wideouts Mike Evans and Scotty Miller, tight ends Cameron Brate and O.J.

James Conner Wants To Stay In Pittsburgh

Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner is set to become a free agent following the completion of the 2020 season. His future with the team beyond this year is murky at best, although that can't be blamed on Conner. When asked about his contract status, Conner stated, "It would be hard to (imagine playing anywhere […]

Beginner's Luck: Selling Rookies Who Could Regress

When I say "dynasty fantasy football," one of the first things you probably think is "young players!" In leagues where you're keeping guys for years, having young guys is obviously a good way of building a team. But just hoarding players in the first three or four seasons is not a clear path to a dynasty, and […]

Young Broncos Team At Disadvantage This Offseason?

Offseason workout restrictions because of COVID-19 are making things difficult for all NFL teams this year, but it might be even more difficult for a young Denver Broncos team with a second-year quarterback in Drew Lock, who doesn't even have a full year of experience under his belt and is learning a new system under […]

Jason Kelce Confident In Eagles Offensive Line

Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce is confident in the Eagles offensive line despite some question marks surrounding the left tackle position.

Colts See Larger Role For Nyheim Hines

Indianapolis Colts running back Nyheim Hines was a big loser this offseason on the surface. The team drafted Wisconsin running back Jonathan Taylor in the second round, and with Marlon Mack still around, Hines was seemingly relegated to a third-string role. But the team actually expects Hines to get more usage now that Philip Rivers […]

Clyde Edwards-Helaire - Fantasy Football Rookie Spotlight

Prior to the 2020 NFL Draft, most analysts and fantasy football fans were dying to see if the Kansas City Chiefs would take a running back. In a class with plenty of talent and depth, I wasn't expecting Clyde Edwards-Helaire to go as high as he did. Sure enough, the Chiefs and Andy Reid saw […]

Dolphins Waive De'Lance Turner

Miami Dolphins running back De'Lance Turner has been waived by the organization. The 24-year-old is an undrafted free agent that has spent time with both the Baltimore Ravens and Dolphins.

Lamical Perine Could Be Le'Veon Bell's Top Backup

Senior Bowl executive director and former NFL scout Jim Nagy expects rookie running back Lamical Perine "to be (Le'Veon Bell's) top backup next year." Nagy also wouldn't be surprised if Perine emerged as "the guy" for the Jets running game in two or three years despite his 4.6-second 40-yard dash at the NFL combine back […]

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 […]

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.
