Giants Interested In Byron Jones, James Bradberry
The New York Giants have expressed a level of interest in Dallas Cowboys cornerback Byron Jones and Carolina Panthers cornerback James Bradberry, who will both be free agents next week, according to NFL sources.

Leonard Williams A Candidate For Franchise Tag
The New York Giants and defensive end Leonard Williams are not close to a contract extension and Williams will have a strong market if he reaches the open market, according to sources, so the pass-rusher is a candidate for the franchise tag.

Giants Don't Think Evan Engram Can Stay Healthy
The New York Giants don't think that tight end Evan Engram can ever stay healthy, according to an inside source. As a result, the source thinks that Engram is a trade candidate during the season.

XFL Week 3 - Opportunity Risers and Fallers

RB Opportunity Share and Impact (NFC East & North)
With the season over and real-life free agency and April's NFL draft ahead of us, it's time to look at how each team split their targets and carries (both of them combined in what is called opportunities; sometimes it's receptions instead of targets, but I wanted to look at the overall volume and total chances instead) […]

Biggest Surprises of 2019 - Wide Receiver
The wide receiver position was probably the most exciting position of the 2019 fantasy football seasons, with so many different breakouts and busts.

Can a New Coach Fix Baker Mayfield in 2020?
Another season has passed and another disappointment by Browns fans has been realized. Baker Mayfield got the head coach he wanted in Freddie Kitchens in 2019. In 2020, hopefully he's got the one he needs in Kevin Stefanski. Last season, under Kitchens, Mayfield had a coach he could control and manipulate. He did just that […]
