Early 2024 Running Back Sleepers And Draft Targets For Fantasy Football

Running backs have always dominated the first round of fantasy drafts, but that has changed in recent years.

However, that doesn't mean running […]

Steelers Non-Committal On Najee Harris' Fifth-Year Option

While Pittsburgh Steelers general manager Omar Khan said that the team thinks "very highly" of running back Najee Harris, he was also non-committal on whether the team will pick up his fifth-year option.

The Seahawks, for the first time since 2009, will have a new head coach. The front office opted to move on from Pete Carroll.

2024 Free Agency Preview: Biggest Positional Needs For The San Francisco 49ers

Despite a roster that is loaded from top to bottom, the 49ers just cannot seem to win the final game of the season. There are few teams as talented as San Francisco's. In years past, it was easy to point at the quarterback position as the reason why, but Brock Purdy has solidified the position […]

Braden Smith Undergoes Knee Surgery

Indianapolis Colts right tackle Braden Smith (knee) had surgery on the knee that had him hobbled for much of last season, according to general manager Chris Ballard. The Colts are hoping for a much healthier 2024 season out of Smith after he missed seven games in 2023 due to the injury. The former second-round selection […]

Travis Etienne Jr.'s Touches To Be Scaled Back?

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Travis Etienne Jr.'s 325 touches last year were third-most in the NFL for a RB, but head coach Doug Pederson said that Etienne as a workhorse back "is not the recipe" he prefers. Pederson mentioned that D'Ernest Johnson was injured in 2023, and Tank Bigsby was learning as a rookie. The […]

2024 Free Agency Preview: Biggest Positional Needs For The Los Angeles Rams

There may not be a top-heavier roster in the entire NFL than the Los Angeles Rams. The player with the 10th-highest cap hit is Tutu Atwell, who is scheduled to make $1.8 million. This team consists of eight veteran players and 45 (!!!) guys on rookie contracts. It's wild. The Rams go into the 2024 […]

2024 Free Agency Preview: Biggest Positional Needs For The Arizona Cardinals

Looking at just their record, the Cardinals had a terrible season. However, they were a pesky, competitive team for several games despite being sorely outgunned talent wise. The final outcome for Arizona's 2023 season wasn't unexpected or even mildly surprising. The expectations were low, especially since starting quarterback Kyler Murray missed half the season rehabbing […]

Kliff Kingsbury Doesn't See Offense As Air Raid System

Washington Commanders new offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury said this week that he doesn't envision the team being an Air Raid offensive system in 2024 under his supervision.

Ranking The Top 10 NFL Teams With The Brightest Five-Year Windows

Just because an NFL team is currently a powerhouse doesn't mean they'll still be a feared team five years down the road.

This offseason, we think we have a good sense of which teams are […]

The Biggest Fantasy Football RB Busts of 2023

Once the cornerstone of fantasy football roster building, running backs have fallen by the wayside to wide receivers, and in some rare cases, tight ends.

Chargers Expected To Let Austin Ekeler Explore Free Agency

The Los Angeles Chargers are expected to let impending free-agent running back Austin Ekeler explore free agency in 2024, according to league sources, which means they won't use the franchise tag on him.
