Can Cam Skattebo Emerge as a Workhorse For the Giants After Being Selected on Day 3 of the Draft?

Cam Skattebo was the engine that powered the Arizona State Sun Devils’ offense to the College Football Playoff in 2024. When the lights were the brightest, Skattebo did not disappoint, putting up 242 scrimmage yards and two touchdowns in a thrilling overtime loss to Texas in the first round of the playoffs. However, the performance wasn’t a flash in the pan, as Skattebo had been lighting…...

TreVeyon Henderson Adds More to the Patriots’ Backfield Than the Explosiveness They’ve Been Lacking

At the beginning of Day 2 of the NFL Draft, TreVeyon Henderson landed in a New England backfield that was in need of a serious talent upgrade. Not only did the Patriots’ running backs underperform expectations last season, but there were also some serious ball security issues that needed to be addressed. While Henderson’s calling card is his big-play ability, he is not a one-trick…...

Are the Colts Primed to Make Tyler Warren the Next Rookie Tight End to Smash in Fantasy?

There were only a few more obvious dot connections in this past draft cycle than attaching a tight end to the Indianapolis Colts, preferably the earlier in the draft, the better. The team obliged by using the 14th overall selection on Tyler Warren out of Penn State. But does this selection automatically mean fantasy fortune and glory await Warren and those who draft him?

Can Matthew Golden Earn Enough Volume to Return Value in His Rookie Season?

Matthew Golden was one of 2024’s biggest risers after transferring from Houston and becoming the WR1 for a Texas Longhorns team that made it to the College Football Playoff Semifinals. He then went on to generate even more buzz by setting the track on fire at the combine with a 4.29-second forty time. While his draft rise was impressive, there are still enough questions about…...

Will Iowa State WRs Jayden Higgins and Jaylin Noel Find Continued Success Together in Houston?

Following the acquisition of Stefon Diggs last offseason, the Texans’ wide receiver trio of Nico Collins, Tank Dell, and Diggs was primed to be the best in the league, at least on paper. The high hopes for the Texans’ passing game never materialized in 2024, as injuries, poor protection, and passing inefficiency all played a part in the letdown. Fast forward to a year later,…...

How Much Should We Be Discounting Emeka Egbuka Based On His Landing Spot in Tampa Bay?

After arriving at Ohio State as an elite recruit, Emeka Egbuka was never able to put together a true breakout season despite staying in school for four years. However, because he played alongside multiple five-star prospects, his lack of top-end statistics could be partially explained away. Seeing Egbuka land with an NFL team where he would have a primary role on Day 1 could have…...

Will George Pickens Bring Excitement, Aggravation, or Both to the Dallas Offense?

Despite an obvious need to add wide receivers to their offense to help ease the burden on CeeDee Lamb, Dallas did not add any pass catchers in the 2025 NFL Draft. A couple of weeks after the draft, the Cowboys rectified their shortcoming by trading a 2026 third-round pick plus a 2027 fifth-rounder to the Steelers for George Pickens and a 2027 sixth-round pick. ⚠️…...

2025 Post-Draft Running Back Prospect Lab Scores

The Running Back Prospect Lab is one of my favorite tools on the site, but it’s not exactly a precision instrument. It uses a simple linear model to predict an RB’s early NFL career based on a few important college metrics. However, the simplicity ends up being a benefit — it knows what to look for and isn’t often fooled by outliers. I’m updating this…...

Le’Veon Bell was not an elite prospect coming out of Michigan State but showed enough to be drafted by the Steelers in the middle of the second round of the 2013 NFL draft. His athletic testing was not overly impressive but still solid for a 230-pound back. Once in the NFL, Bell put together a strong rookie season before taking over the league in Year…...

There is no easy way to say it; the 2026 rookie wide receiver class is looking pretty rough. That is not to say that it is lacking talent, but there is not a single player in the class who does not currently come with legitimate question marks.
