It has been said in the past that NFL stands for Not For Long, as well as No Fun League and of course the lesser used National Football League. All three may be true, but the first pretty much sums up the fleeting nature of the game, and the careers of the men who ply their trade in it. But it seems that after missing…...
We’re back again to offer our thoughts on prominent contract year players at one of the fantasy footballs most important positions, namely running back. Yes, I know the popular theory is that they don’t matter. But getting a good one can be the reason you take home a fantasy crown. Drafting a bad one can be the reason you are swearing angrily at your…...
Following on from my look at the fantasy appeal of quarterbacks heading into the final season of their current deals, attention is now turned towards wide receivers facing the same situation. We’ll be focusing on three players for whom the coming season represents a chance to earn a big payday in 2020. In their pursuits of new deals, I’ll offer my thoughts as to…...
As in most industries, the goal of the average NFL player is to maximize their earnings. Rings and Vince Lombardi trophies are all well and good, and the drive to be the best in the business is strong. But with the average career around four seasons, no one should begrudge a single player for wanting to make as much money as possible before they,…...
There is an almost everpresent desire for immediate success in the NFL, with many pinning unrealistic hopes and expectations on players that may well succeed in the league if allowed time to develop. The recent success, relatively speaking, of rookie skill players, has only served to heighten these expectations. While positions like quarterback and tight end used to be afforded the luxury of a…...
The NFL Draft will soon be upon us, with the league welcoming an injection of new and exciting talent into its midst. But even with all of these shiny new toys that teams will soon be dying to play with, fantasy owners would be wise to remember that there are still a host of veteran players that can be valuable fantasy assets in the coming…...
The Oakland Raiders offense in 2019 will look totally different from the one they trotted out last season. Jordy Nelson and Jared Cook are gone, while Antonio Brown and Tyrell Williams are now in Black and Silver. The pass catchers are not the only players who will be different. Marshawn Lynch is at the time of writing still a free agent, while crickets are accompanying the…...
It is far too early to know which players truly won or lost in free agency ahead of the 2019 NFL season. But, even at this early stage, there are some for whom the world appears to be a much better place than it was during the last campaign. One such player is Jaguars wide receiver, Dede Westbrook. Heading into his third NFL season, there…...
It would be accurate to say that Pittsburgh has been able to churn out some presentable NFL caliber running backs in recent years. LeSean McCoy leads the NFL in total rushing yards since entering the league in 2009 with 10,606. Despite injuries and other setbacks, Dion Lewis is one of 21 players with at least 2,000 yards rushing and 1,000 yards receiving in total since…...
There are few people with much good to say about the 2018 New York Jets offense. With good reason, I might add. The team scored the 10th fewest points in the league. They averaged 4.9 yards per play, a mark that only three other teams failed to eclipse. They also amassed a pretty woeful 5.6 net yards per pass attempt, the fifth lowest of all…...
One of the hardest teams to figure out is the Cincinnati Bengals. They rarely venture wholeheartedly into free agency. They are not given to major splashes in the draft. They seem to undervalue everything except loyalty, often to a maddening degree. Just look how many chances they gave Vontaze Burfict despite numerous discretions, or how many seasons they allowed Marvin Lewis to occupy their head…...
There are many things that are said to never sleep. Evil is one of them, the city of New York is another. Since I became a parent, this tag can be attached to me too. But Philadelphia Eagles GM Howie Roseman is another prominent advocate of not needing to rest. In his case, since his return to the front office of the team in 2016,…...
Free agency, it seems, has come and gone. A few players have signed the big ticket deals, and will probably be on the market again in two years. Others have been traded to new teams and new locales. The free footballing world’s focus appears set to on the upcoming NFL Draft. Except, there are still some noteworthy free agents who, at the time of writing,…...
A year ago, the Detroit Lions took the decision to rid themselves of Eric Ebron, after a fairly underwhelming run in the Motor City. Ebron landed with the Indianapolis Colts, and people wondered whether he would be able to coexist with the incumbent Jack Doyle, to become a productive member of their offense. Well, for a variety of reasons, Ebron enjoyed the breakout season that he…...
At one stage, Tyrell Williams looked like the shining jewel in the crown of the 2019 crop of free agent wide receivers. Finally, it seemed that The Gazelle would emerge from the shadow of Keenan Allen and become the leading light in a different WR room, and hopefully become the star that many[1]Including the author. truly believed he could be. A few of the teams thought to…...
Before we get into the heart of this piece, maybe I should briefly explain just what it is I’m talking about. Well, under the 2011 Collective Bargaining Agreement, all first-round draft picks have to sign four-year deals, with a team option for a fifth year. This option has to be exercised by the March before their fourth year. For players drafted in the top 10, the…...
Neil Dutton reviews Washington’s 2018 season, outlines players the team could lose to free agency and offers his thoughts on potential reinforcements the team should look to sign. 2018 IN SUMMARY Heading into a Week 11 home game against the Houston Texans, Washington was 6-3 and very much in the hunt for the NFC East title. After a 23-21 loss in a game that saw…...
Neil Dutton reviews the Oakland Raiders 2018 season, outlines players the team could lose to free agency and offers his thoughts on potential reinforcements the team should look to sign. 2018 IN SUMMARY 2018 was the first year of the second coming of Jon Gruden for the Oakland Raiders, and it is fair to say that it wasn’t exactly a banner one. The Raiders posted a…...
Neil Dutton reviews the Detroit Lions 2018 season, outlines players the team could lose to free agency and offers his thoughts on potential reinforcements the team should look to sign. 2018 IN SUMMARY After back to back 9-7 campaigns, the Detroit Lions brought the Jim Caldwell era to an end after the 2017 season. In his stead, they appointed New England Patriots defensive coordinator Matt…...
Neil Dutton reviews the Philadelphia Eagles 2018 season, outlines players the team could lose to free agency and offers his thoughts on potential reinforcements the team would like to sign. 2018 IN SUMMARY A year after a 13-3 regular season record, not to mention a victory in the Super Bowl, the Philadelphia Eagles didn’t have it all their own way in 2018. Thanks in no…...
