Derrick Henry hits the market having led the 2023 free-agent RB class in PPR points, rushing attempts (ruATTS), rushing touchdowns (ruTDS), rushing expected points (ruEP), and rushing fantasy points over expectation (ruFPOE) last season. It took a while for the shock to wear off. It won’t be as strange as seeing Tom Brady switch to pewter and crimson, but picturing Henry in any other uniform…...

Tony Pollard is reportedly set to sign a free-agent contract with the Tennessee Titans that will pay him $24M over the next three seasons.  Entering free agency with the third-highest available cap space in the NFL — $75.4M according to Over the Cap — the Tennessee Titans wasted no time putting their money to use by signing Pollard. While we all wait and see how…...

The Cincinnati Bengals made a move to bolster their receiving corps on Tuesday. They signed former Dolphins and Patriots TE Mike Gesicki to a one-year deal. Gesicki has been productive in the past, and his signing seems to fit the Bengals’ approach to the TE spot in recent years. But does this move, in the grand scheme of things, matter? Finding His Feet Gesicki came…...

There are a lot of hurt feelings to go around at the end of the Arthur Smith tenure in Atlanta. The Falcons bucked convention by deprioritizing QB and emphasizing the run game; they took a TE at fourth overall, the highest in NFL history, and they took an RB eighth in an era where such a thing is, according to analysts from sophisticated places like Harvard…...

It’s all changed at the running back spot for the Cincinnati Bengals heading into the 2024 season. The team signed former Indianapolis Colts RB Zack Moss to a two-year, $8m deal. They then announced they were releasing Joe Mixon, although this changed on Day 2 of the “Legal Tampering” period when the team decided to trade him to the Houston Texans instead. Just another normal…...

With free agency open, the floodgates broke for several players, including three veteran receivers staying home with their respective teams. Sometimes a veteran receiver might go overlooked as the hype rises for the rookies and sophomores. Unlike running backs, we sometimes have more consistency at the receiver position, especially when a young player establishes themselves and earns targets. Let’s look at the early fantasy impact…...

It’s difficult to recall a player whose public perception has nosedived as precipitously as Russell Wilson’s has in the past two seasons. In November 2020, Wilson was considered the favorite for the NFL MVP award and one of the best QBs in the league. A nine-time Pro Bowler, a two-time participant and a one-time winner of the Super Bowl, at least as stated then, an…...

The Chicago Bears wasted little time in free agency signing the most exciting running back to hit the market. That may sound controversial in a free agent class that includes Saquon Barkley, Josh Jacobs, Tony Pollard, and Austin Ekeler. But Chicago’s new starting RB, D’Andre Swift, is the youngest of the bunch, and the only one of the group to finish with positive rushing efficiency…....

The Philadelphia Eagles broke the habit of a lifetime — well, maybe a few years — and devoted considerable financial resources toward a single running back at the start of free agency. Saquon Barkley, who has spent the first six seasons of his career as a member of NFC East rival New York Giants, has signed for the Eagles on a deal worth up to…...

Jonnu Smith seems firmly entrenched in the journeyman stage of his career. The former Titan, Patriot, and Falcon tight end has landed on his fourth team after signing with the Miami Dolphins after the Falcons released him following the 2023 season. The deal could be worth up to $10m over two years, with the word “could” likely doing a lot of heavy lifting there. This…...
