Is Christian McCaffrey Healthy? Is McCaffrey Worth Drafting Early for Fantasy Football

After an incredible 2019 season, Christian McCaffrey has dealt with injuries both of the past two seasons.

The disappointment these injuries created is hard to forgive and forget but 2022 is a […]

Jalen Hurts To Receive First Preseason Action

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts led his team to the playoffs last year and is expected to take a big leap in 2022. Hurts possesses exceptional athleticism, which makes him dangerous as a dual-threat quarterback, but he has received a lot of criticism regarding his skill set as a passer. Hurts received an exciting new […]

Trevor Lawrence, Travis Etienne Jr. Expected To Play On Friday

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence and running back Travis Etienne Jr. are both expected to take part in Friday's preseason game against the Cleveland Browns. Head coach Doug Pederson said he will let the starters play in a couple of series. Neither of them participated in the Hall-of-Fame game last Thursday, so this will be […]

Panthers Are Not Shopping Sam Darnold

Carolina Panthers quarterback Sam Darnold struggled last season, prompting the team to acquire veteran Baker Mayfield from the Cleveland Browns. This led to speculation that the team might be interested in trading Darnold, especially if they believe Mayfield is their future. While it's hard to predict what kind of return they would get, they would […]

Wan'Dale Robinson Listed As Starter On Giants Depth Chart

The New York Giants drafted wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson 43rd overall in this year's draft, which was a strange pick at the time, considering the plethora of receiving options they had. It was initially speculated that Robinson would replace Kadarius Toney, who was rumored to be traded. However, this never materialized, leaving both to compete […]

Roquan Smith Requests A Trade

Chicago Bears linebacker Roquan Smith has been an integral part of the team's defense since he was drafted eighth overall in 2018. The Bears have traded away some big names from their once fierce defense, including Khalil Mack, and it appears Smith could be next. Smith released a statement officially requesting a trade, reporting the […]

Myles Gaskin Buried On Depth Chart

Miami Dolphins running back Myles Gaskin is seeing his opportunity in the offense quickly fading. Gaskin was very involved last year, with 173 carries for 612 yards and three touchdowns, but the team added Chase Edmonds, Raheem Mostert, and Sony Michel this offseason. Further adding to this concern, is the news that Gaskin is listed […]

Running Back Duos To Target on Draft Day - Javonte Williams, Melvin Gordon, Devin Singletary, James Cook, and more

There are generally two types of backfield compositions in the NFL. The first is the workhorse approach, where one running back receives a high percentage of the overall volume and all other running backs are merely backups or insurance backs, who are only relevant for fantasy if the starter becomes injured. While this is ideal […]

Scotty Miller Healthy And Competing

Tampa Buccaneers wide receiver Scotty Miller was a possible cut candidate as recently as a few weeks ago, but he is now fully healthy and competing to secure a role. Miller missed seven games due to a turf toe injury in 2021 that really derailed his growth in the offense. Miller returned for the playoffs, […]

Donald Parham Jr. Likely To Miss This Week

As reported on Sunday, Los Angeles Chargers tight end Donald Parham Jr. (hamstring) left practice with a leg injury. The severity of the injury was unknown at the time, but head coach Brandon Staley has since confirmed he expects Parham to miss this week of training camp. This is disappointing for Parham, who was making […]

Rachaad White Excels In Goal-Line Role

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers drafted rookie running back Rachaad White 91st overall after releasing veteran Ronald Jones, who has since signed with the Chiefs. White has been projected to primarily take on a role in the passing game given his receiving skill set, however, he has shown an ability to excel in other areas as […]

Cade Otton Putting On A Show In Camp

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers drafted rookie tight end Cade Otton 106th overall to join veteran Cameron Brate and future Hall of Famer Rob Gronkowski. Things changed, however, when Gronkowski announced his retirement, prompting the team to sign veteran tight end Kyle Rudolph. There are a lot of bodies to fill this position, but Otton has […]

Tyler Conklin Impressing Robert Saleh

The New York Jets signed free-agent tight end Tyler Conklin to a three-year, $21 million deal this offseason. This coincided with a three-year, $24 million deal for fellow tight end C.J. Uzomah, creating some ambiguity at the position. While it's still early, it seems Conklin is leading the way. Head coach Robert Saleh said, "Conk […]

Will Jimmy Garoppolo Stay With The 49ers? Will Garoppolo Be Traded Before Week 1?

It has been a tumultuous sixteen months for San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo, dating back to the 2021 NFL draft when the 49ers went all-in to draft quarterback Trey Lance third overall. After besting the rookie in training camp last year and holding him off all season, it appears the end of the Garoppolo […]

Is Drake London The Falcons WR1? Should I Draft Drake London for Fantasy Football?

The Atlanta Falcons entered the offseason with a subpar receiving core. This was further exasperated by the suspension of Calvin Ridley and Russell Gage signing in-division with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. This led many analysts and experts to speculate on how early they would draft a wide receiver and how many they would draft. The […]

Isaiah Spiller Running With The Second- And Third-Team Offense

Los Angeles Chargers rookie running back Isaiah Spiller was drafted 123rd overall in this year's draft, in large part because of a poor performance at the combine. Despite his lower draft capital, he still finds himself in a fantastic position, competing for the backup role in an electrifying offense. Spiller was reportedly playing with the […]

Alexander Mattison Suffers Finger Injury

Minnesota Vikings running back Alexander Mattison (finger) has been an overqualified backup, consistently producing big games when called upon. Mattison has become an annual must-draft player as an insurance back with elite upside when Dalvin Cook misses time due to injury. Mattison reportedly left practice Tuesday with a finger injury, remaining on the sidelines after […]

Dalvin Cooks Suffers Hand Injury

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (hand) has been incredibly productive throughout his career, limited only by injuries.

Quintez Cephus To Miss Time In Camp

Detroit Lions wide receiver Quintez Cephus (leg) suffered an apparent leg injury in practice Tuesday, creating questions about the status of his health.

Nico Collins To Be Big-Time Playmaker

Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins was taken 89th overall last year and is showing he may have been worth an even higher pick than that. Collins, much like the rest of the offense, struggled during the early part of the season in 2021 but finished stronger, producing 31 receptions for 407 yards and one […]

Brevin Jordan Flashing In Camp

Houston Texans sophomore tight end Brevin Jordan took some time to develop in his rookie year but became more involved in the second half of the season.

Hayden Hurst Impressing Teammates

The Cincinnati Bengals signed tight end Hayden Hurst to replace C.J. Uzomah, who signed with the New York Jets this offseason. Hurst struggled in 2021, in large part because of the ineptitude of the Falcons offense, producing only 26 receptions for 226 yards and three touchdowns. However, the Bengals offense will be much more potent […]

Davis Mills Improving In Training Camp

Houston Texans quarterback Davis Mills was a pleasant surprise in his rookie season, producing 2,664 passing yards, 16 passing touchdowns and 10 interceptions in only 11 games as a starter.
