Giants Claim Ryquell Armstead Off Waivers

The New York Giants claimed former Jacksonville Jaguars running back Ryquell Armstead off waivers on Tuesday, according to a source. The Jaguars waived Armstead on Monday, and he didn't go long without a team. The 24-year-old missed all of last year with an injury while also going on the league's COVID-19 list two separate times. […]

Kelvin Benjamin Signs With Giants

The New York Giants signed former first-round wide receiver Kelvin Benjamin following a tryout at rookie minicamp last weekend. Benjamin, who hasn't been on an NFL roster since the end of the 2018 season, will play tight end. The 6-foot-5, 245-pounder will be reunited with general manager Dave Gettleman, who drafted Benjamin with the Carolina […]

Early 2021 Breakouts: Tight End

It is never too early to check a crystal ball to see what the future might hold --- especially in fantasy football. Detroit’s T.J. Hockenson had an injury-marred rookie campaign in 2019 that ruined the title hopes of many fantasy general managers, but the former first-round pick rebounded like Dennis Rodman in his sophomore season. […]

Coaching Matters: 2021 Jacksonville Jaguars Coaching Staff Preview

After every NFL season, NFL teams take the time to evaluate not only the players but also the coaching staff and front office as well.

Daniel Jones Set Up for Success - Will It Work?

Given his status as a surprising top-10 pick in the 2019 NFL draft and a relatively successful rookie season, the 2020 season was seen as a make-or-break year for Daniel Jones for many NFL fans. Unfortunately, Jones (and the Giant’s offense as a whole) struggled to take the next step around the second-year signal-caller. The […]

Who is the Dynasty 1.01 Now???

Now that we know where all of the players from this year's draft have landed, it's time to get to doing some dynasty rookie drafts. A lot of years, there's a clear person to pick with that No. 1 rookie pick. Remember how Saquon Barkley was the unanimous 1.01 a few years back? It's less […]

Veteran Running Backs Set to Lose Touches in 2021

As players change teams and rookies are added through the NFL draft, there is a discernable impact on veteran running backs, specifically their projected volume. The constant turnover in the NFL could result in a running back that saw a high opportunity share one year suddenly become an afterthought. Here are a handful of running […]

They Took Who??? The Most Confusing NFL Draft Picks

Every year, the NFL holds a draft, and every year during that draft, 32 NFL teams make decisions that will positively impact the team going forward. But every year, some teams also make decisions that are...confusing. Confounding. Puzzling. Whatever adjective you want to use, teams make decisions that leave us, the outsiders watching the draft, […]

Instant Reaction: 2021 NFL Draft Round 1 Winners/Losers

The 2021 NFL Draft started on Thursday night and, just like we all expected for months (years?), Trevor Lawrence was the first overall pick.

Giants Defense Adds Aaron Robinson

The New York Giants selected Central Florida cornerback Aaron Robinson with the No. 71 overall pick in the third round of the 2021 NFL draft on Friday night. Robinson can get it done both on the inside and outside because of his quick feet and good route recognition. If anything, he can be an immediate […]

Giants Go With Kadarius Toney At No. 20 Overall

The New York Giants selected Florida wide receiver Kadarius Toney with the No. 20 overall pick in the first round of the 2021 NFL draft on Thursday night. Toney scored 11 touchdowns for the Gators in his final collegiate season. He's a flat-out playmaker that should help quarterback Daniel Jones tremendously as a home run […]

Giants Pick Up Saquon Barkley's Fifth-Year Option

The New York Giants picked up the fifth-year option for the 2022 season on the contract of running back Saquon Barkley on Wednesday, according to a source.

Final 2021 NFL Mock Draft - Round 1

The 2021 NFL Draft is finally here and rumors continue to swirl. We still don't know which QB the 49ers are taking at No. 3 and whether or not the Falcons will go QB at No. 4, trade down, or go with Kyle Pitts. From there, a handful of quality offensive players expect to be […]
