Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin has been putting in the work to build rapport with new QB Tom Brady as training camps are continuing to progress.

Often times, the defense may be an underlooked component on owners’ fantasy teams. Due to the fluctuating strength of the competition, many defenses may not resemble weekly starters. Because of this, owners may become lax when it comes to drafting a solid defense. Nevertheless, several defenses in the NFL do represent quality starting options (in […]

The Arizona Cardinals cashed in the first pick in the 2019 draft for a franchise quarterback in former Oklahoma Sooner Kyler Murray. That didn’t pay off in a huge way immediately, as 2019 was a transition year for Arizona (5-10-1) under a rookie QB and new head coach in Kliff Kingsbury. In addition, the team […]

For the first time in pretty much forever, the New England Patriots are not being looked upon as a robust AFC contender. This comes after an incredible offseason that saw longtime QB and six-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady depart for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The team was still competitive without much firepower on offense […]

After getting throttled, destroyed, and thrashed by the Baltimore Ravens and New England Patriots in the first two weeks of the 2019 season, many pundits predicted the Miami Dolphins would end up as one of the worst teams in NFL history. Fans of the team knew the “Tank For Tua” campaign was in existence well […]
Rishi Patel 4 years agoGreen Bay Packers 2020 Fantasy Outlook
The Green Bay Packers had a terrific 2019 season under rookie head coach Matt LeFleur. The team posted a 13-3 record (best since 2011) and reached the playoffs for the first time since 2016 (an oddity during Aaron Rodgers’ tenure, but that’s considering his collarbone injury in 2017). Nevertheless, two of the four losses Green […]
Rishi Patel 4 years agoSeattle Seahawks 2020 Fantasy Outlook
Since Russell Wilson entered the league in 2012, the Seattle Seahawks have shown stability and grit each and every year. Thus, they have made the playoffs every year since 2012 sans the 2017 season. Wilson has proved to be a force and has carried the team despite the Legion of Boom disintegrating in recent seasons. […]

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ronald Jones II has been rigorously training this offseason in preparation for the 2020 season. Per The Athletic's Greg Auman, the 22-year-old has gotten up to 225 pounds and has been practicing catching roughly 300 footballs per day.

Rishi Patel 4 years agoIndianapolis Colts 2020 Fantasy Outlook
2019 ended up being a transition year for the Indianapolis Colts after the bombshell retirement of QB Andrew Luck right before the campaign began. Backup Jacoby Brissett once again took the helm for Indy and guided them to a 7-9 record. That wasn’t enough to reach the playoffs and now the Colts have missed them […]
Rishi Patel 4 years agoTee Higgins - Fantasy Football Rookie Spotlight
The Cincinnati Bengals invested in their future this past draft. For a struggling franchise that can’t seem to even sniff the Divisional Round of the playoffs in recent memory, they now have a restored hope that it can be done soon. The first domino to fall was picking Heisman winning QB Joe Burrow out of […]
Rishi Patel 4 years agoNew York Giants 2020 Fantasy Outlook
2019 was just another year filled with struggles for those New York Football Giants. The G-Men quickly benched longtime QB starter Eli Manning after just two starts (both losses) and tossed rookie Daniel Jones (the much-maligned sixth pick in the 2019 draft) into the fire in just Week 3. Though the rookie QB played an […]
Rishi Patel 4 years agoCincinnati Bengals 2020 Fantasy Outlook
The Cincinnati Bengals limped to the finish in 2019 with a league-worst 2-14 record. For first-year head coach Zac Taylor, it was an absolute nightmare as the team fielded a putrid defense and started off 0-11. Cincinnati dealt with blowouts and painfully close losses, but if there was any silver lining, it was getting the […]
Rishi Patel 4 years agoCleveland Browns 2020 Fantasy Outlook
Where to even begin with the Browns? After being hyped all 2019 offseason, they laid a stinker off the bat and got drubbed at the Dawg Pound by the Tennessee Titans in Week 1. That was only the start of a miserable year that featured newly acquired Odell Beckham Jr. not getting the ball enough, […]
Rishi Patel 4 years agoWashington Redskins 2020 Fantasy Outlook
In recent memory, the Washington Redskins have generally been irrelevant when it comes to the playoff picture. There has been a lot of turnover at the QB position too, with Kirk Cousins, Alex Smith, and now Dwayne Haskins taking turns playing the signal-caller for the DC team in the past few years. Amidst all the […]
Rishi Patel 4 years agoBaltimore Ravens 2020 Fantasy Outlook
The Baltimore Ravens arrived last season. They ran roughshod over teams with a brutal and historic rushing attack en route to a 14-2 record and the top seed in the AFC. They handed an undefeated Patriots squad their first loss and QB Lamar Jackson silenced doubters by putting up fantastic, record numbers. Unfortunately, the Ravens […]
Rishi Patel 4 years agoLos Angeles Rams 2020 Fantasy Outlook
One year after reaching the Super Bowl, the Los Angeles Rams fell back down to Earth in 2019 and regressed quite a bit compared to their previous two seasons. Many factors played a role in this “downfall,” including Todd Gurley’s usage and the division having some tough teams like the Seahawks and 49ers, which resulted […]

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are not expected to sign free-agent wide receiver Antonio Brown, per ESPN's Dianna Russini.

The 31-year-old has found himself in various legal troubles recently, which […]
Rishi Patel 4 years agoNew York Jets 2020 Fantasy Outlook
How about them Jets though? After a miserable start to the 2019 season which saw QB Sam Darnold sidelined from mono only to return and see “ghosts,” the team rebounded well. The Jets started 1-7 only to win six out of their last eight and end up at 7-9. They didn’t make the playoffs though […]

The Carolina Panthers are in midst of roster turnover at a time when their NFC South division is looking ultra-competitive.

[…]
Rishi Patel 4 years agoHouston Texans 2020 Fantasy Outlook
The Houston Texans have been winning the AFC South most of the time in recent memory. Yet, they cannot reach the conference championship game. After jumping out to a stunning lead against the high-octane Chiefs AT THEIR HOUSE last season in the playoffs, the Texans got their doors blown out once KC’s engine started. After […]
Rishi Patel 4 years agoBrycen Hopkins - Fantasy Football Rookie Spotlight
The Los Angeles Rams will field a retooled offense sans Todd Gurley II and Brandin Cooks in 2020. Nevertheless, they padded the unit by drafting RB Cam Akers, WR Van Jefferson, and TE Brycen Hopkins in hopes of adding young, fresh members who can be impactful sooner or later. Hopkins will serve as depth on […]
Rishi Patel 4 years agoChicago Bears 2020 Fantasy Outlook
The Chicago Bears will look to reach the playoffs in 2020 after regressing in 2019. The team returned a generally stout defense last season, but the offense struggled very much. Things are bound to get more interesting in the QB room with the addition of former Jaguar and Super Bowl MVP Nick Foles. The Bears, […]
Rishi Patel 4 years agoAtlanta Falcons 2020 Fantasy Outlook
The Atlanta Falcons have been struggling to advance in the playoffs since the 2016 season when they made the Super Bowl and the “comeback” happened (sorry Falcon fans). 2019 was the second consecutive year the team missed the playoffs, and coach Dan Quinn is certainly on the hot seat once again this season. The defense […]

Rishi Patel 4 years agoDetroit Lions 2020 Fantasy Outlook
The Detroit Lions are the definition of mediocre in the NFL. Look no further than a string of average records in each of the past eight seasons (sans 2014). The Lions finished at the bottom of the NFC North in 2019, going 3-12. It’s no surprise that coach Matt Patricia has his job on the […]
Rishi Patel 4 years agoPhiladelphia Eagles 2020 Fantasy Outlook
The Philadelphia Eagles have been considered contenders for the past few seasons.

Rishi Patel 4 years agoNew Orleans Saints 2020 Fantasy Outlook
The New Orleans Saints have been potent for the past few years, but they have not been very lucky in the postseason as the team has not reached the Super Bowl due to last-minute plays or missed calls.

Atlanta Falcons offensive coordinator Dirk Koetter believes the potential of wide receiver Calvin Ridley has yet to be reached. The Alabama product has played superbly in his first two NFL seasons as the WR2 on this team.
