Heroes and Zeroes - Conference Championships

You may notice the flex is gone from this week's title. Mad Cobra would not approve but with just four teams playing it's not as if there are any sleepers left or depth charts to peruse. Pick the guy you think might blow up and cross your fingers. Am I going to recommend C.J. Anderson […]

The Dallas Cowboys fired offensive coordinator Scott Linehan on Friday. The decision was mutual, according to head coach Jason Garrett.

It wasn't until the team traded for wide receiver Amari Cooper that the offense started […]

Spencer Ware Upgraded To Full Practice

Kansas City Chiefs running back Spencer Ware (hamstring) practiced in full on Thursday after being limited in Wednesday's session. Ware sat out the divisional round after being limited in practice all week, but it looks like he's set to return for the AFC Championship against the Patriots on Sunday. He has been out since early […]

Leonard Fournette In Good Place After Meeting With Team's Brass

Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Doug Marrone is optimistic on running back Leonard Fournette's outlook after he met with the second-year back last week.

Kansas City Chiefs running back Spencer Ware (hamstring) was limited in practice on Wednesday.

Bevell ran the offense for Seattle from 2011 to 2017 and was out […]

Jaguars Expected To Hire John DeFilippo

The Jacksonville Jaguars are expected to hire former Minnesota Vikings offensive coordinator John DeFilippo as their next offensive coordinator on Wednesday, according to sources. DeFilippo was fired midseason after running a very bland scheme with plenty of playmakers in Minnesota. He drew rave reviews for working with both Carson Wentz and Nick Foles on the […]

Rich Scangarello To Become Broncos Offensive Coordinator

San Francisco 49ers quarterbacks coach Rich Scangarello is back visiting with the Denver Broncos on Wednesday, and sources say his interview with head coach Vic Fangio went well.

Mark Ingram Wants To Stay In New Orleans

New Orleans Saints running back Mark Ingram, who is due to become a free agent in the offseason, would like to stay with the team moving forward. “I’m not looking just to up and leave New Orleans. My squad, you know we got a good squad. I feel like we could do this type of […]

Javorius Allen And Ty Montgomery Are Unrestricted Free Agents

Baltimore Ravens running back Javorius Allen and wide receiver/running back Ty Montgomery are two of the Ravens' unrestricted free agents that may not return. Both players are valuable special team members, which may help their cause in a bid to find a team. Allen appeared in 14 games overall but was not involved in the […]

Nathaniel Hackett Hired By Packers

The Green Bay Packers hired former Jacksonville Jaguars offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett as their new offensive coordinator on Monday, according to sources. Hackett is known as more of a run-first offensive mind, but he'll also challenge and engage veteran quarterback Aaron Rodgers in an offense that struggled in 2018. Green Bay ranked 12th in yards […]

Alex Collins Set To Be Restricted Free Agent

Baltimore Ravens running back Alex Collins will be a restricted free agent once the new NFL season rolls around. The 25-year-old was never able to get anything going this season and ended the season on injured reserve with a foot injury. He was never able to reach 70 rushing yards in a game and finished […]

James White Catches 15 Passes Against Chargers

New England Patriots running back James White enjoyed a monster performance in the passing game against the Charger, catching 15 passes for 97 yards in the 41-28 playoff win. White was targeted a whopping 17 times as quarterback Tom Brady hit White in the flat constantly to move the chains. White is coming off of […]

Sony Michel Powers Patriots To Victory

New England Patriots running back Sony Michel carried the ball 24 times for 129 yards with three touchdowns in the Patriots 41-28 win over the Chargers. Michel was fed early and often, posting all three of his scores in the first half as the Patriots blew the game open. He became only the second Patriot […]

Kenneth Dixon Could Be A RB3 To Start 2019

Baltimore Ravens running back Kenneth Dixon, like rookie Gus Edwards, came on strong to close the season. But Dixon is a little different case due as injuries throughout his young career have plagued him. The 24-year-old finished the season by totaling 66 yards from scrimmage in the AFC Wildcard Game loss to the Chargers, although […]

Browns Hire Todd Monken As Offensive Coordinator

The Cleveland Browns hired former Tampa Bay Buccaneers offensive coordinator Todd Monken to be their next offensive coordinator on Sunday, a league source told ESPN's Adam Schefter. Monken will now work with first-year head coach Freddie Kitchens to develop quarterback Baker Mayfield as he approaches his second season in the NFL. Monken, 52, was Tampa's […]

Damien Williams Runs for Over 100 Yards

Kansas City Chiefs running back Damien Williams has been fantastic since Kareem Hunt was released. Williams has taken over as the lead back in Kansas City and basically ran away with the job. Williams rushed 25 times for 129 yards and a touchdown in the 31-13 victory over the Colts. He also caught five passes […]

Todd Gurley Runs Wild Against Dallas

Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley has been basically unstoppable all season and the Cowboys defense had no answers for him on Saturday. Gurley rushed 16 times for 115 yards and one touchdown in the 30-22 win over the Cowboys. Gurley was actually out-touched by C.J. Anderson, but both players still managed to gain […]

C.J. Anderson Goes Over 100 Rushing Yards

Los Angeles Rams running back C.J. Anderson was just as good as lead back Todd Gurley in the 30-22 victory over the Cowboys. Anderson rushed 23 times for 123 yards and two touchdowns in the divisional round win. Anderson's first game for the Rams was in Week 16 and he's already become a focal point […]

Marlon Mack Is Quiet In Divisional Round Loss

Indianapolis Colts running back Marlon Mack was looking to build on his solid performance in the Wild Card round, but he was unable to do so in the team's 31-13 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. Mack finished the day with nine carries for 46 yards, which was an efficient day, but he just wasn't […]

Gus Edwards Will Likely Be RB3 To Start The Season

Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards had a disappointing end to a fantastic rookie season. Edwards was limited to just 23 yards on eight carries in the AFC Wild Card playoff loss to the Chargers last week. He closed the regular season by rushing for 67 yards or more in each of his previous seven […]

Spencer Ware Not Expected To Play Saturday

Kansas City Chiefs running back Spencer Ware (hamstring) will work out prior to the divisional round game against the Colts on Saturday, but the hopes aren't high that he will be able to suit up, according to a source.
