The 2019 NFL season is officially one game old. While that one game won’t live long in the memory of many, we have no reason to be angry. There will be plenty more in the weeks to come to satiate our desire for the game. With the majority of the teams still to take the field, here are some bold yet plausible predictions for the…...

There is a whole load of optimism surrounding Dalvin Cook ahead of the 2019 season. Gary Kubiak’s influence on the Vikings offense has long thought to be of benefit to Cook, relying as it does on zone blocking principles. The hiring of Kubiak, not to mention the overall desire to be a more run-based offense, has contributed to the overall high hopes for Cook in…...

Maybe you’re a longstanding Ronald Jones truther. Perhaps you love the fact that Peyton Barber had a top-10 opportunity share among all NFL RBs last season and delivered only 9.4 fantasy points per game. If you are, or even if you’re not[1]especially if you’re not then it’s hard to get really excited about the Tampa Bay backfield. But that’s why it’s not beyond the realm of…...

A four-game suspension to the start the season and a high ankle sprain will ensure that Antonio Callaway will not be looking back on 2019 offseason too fondly in years to come. While his regular-season absence will immediately benefit fellow veteran Rashard Higgins. But his inability to showcase his skills in the exhibition season has led to an increase in opportunities for rookie wide receiver D.J…....

Friday night was football night, as Week 2 of the NFL preseason continued with three games. Here are our immediate takeaways from the action. The games: BUF @ CAR, CHI @ NYG, MIA @ TB Josh Allen finds a security blanket Buffalo Bills sophomore quarterback Josh Allen failed to throw a touchdown pass against the Panthers, keeping him scoreless through two preseason games. But he…...

Sources: #Browns WR Antonio Callaway is being suspended 4 games for a violation of the NFL’s substance abuse policy. He had been appealing this ruling. This may party explain why he’s been running with the reserves. — Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) August 9, 2019 This one tweet from Ian Rapoport pretty much consigns Antonio Callaway to the Cleveland Browns dog house. No, not the Dawg Pound…....

Player Fatigue – Real and Dangerous Player fatigue is a very real phenomenon in fantasy football. It can become ingrained in the manager that a player who has “hurt them” before should never be allowed to do so again. It is sensible in life to protect ourselves from harmful situations, of course. But adopting this mindset can, in fantasy football at least, blind us to…...

Tom Brady’s contract situation appears to have been resolved, in one manner or another, as we edge closer to the 2019 NFL season. There exists now only the question of who exactly he’ll be throwing the ball to. The Patriots have waved goodbye to a healthy chunk of targets from 2018. Many of the players earmarked to fill this target void have question marks of…...

It would be fair to suggest that Allen Robinson’s first season with the Chicago Bears, while not exactly a disaster, was far from a rip-roaring success. He did lead the team in targets and receiving yards, after all. But his numbers were far less than his big-money contract would have led fans to hope for. 2019 may be different, however. This makes Robinson something approaching…...

In the third and final installment of our series looking at players we think could emerge as stars if things break right for them, we come to the tight end spot. TE is, as we know in fantasy terms, something between a minefield and cesspit. But that doesn’t make the players any less important. While several teams are beginning to realize the importance of deploying…...

In the latest in our series looking at players lodged behind a more established starter on their depth chart heading into 2019, we come to the wide receiver spot. With the proliferation of more and more multiple wide receiver sets, it is hard to really class any at that spot as a backup. It is perhaps because of this that not as many of our…...

There have been a number of people, in a number of fields, throughout history who should have been remembered as one of the all-time greats. Should, were it not for the presence of one greater than they plying their trade at the exact same time. A bit like breaking the world record for the 100m . . . whilst finishing second behind someone even faster…...

Earlier this week, I took a look at three little known players from the AFC generating some column inches this offseason. With that in mind, it seems only fair that we offer a similar spotlight to three men from the NFC. These players are not superstars by any stretch. But they have caught the eye of their coaches and/or beat writers in the last few…...

It seems that only novices place significant importance on OTAs or minicamps. Novices, or people with undying affection for the performance of players playing sans pads against their teammates — I mean, if you’ve read one tweet about how great DeVante Parker looks in June you’ve pretty much read them all. But sometimes a team, or normally a coach, will give us a nugget about…...
