Teddy Bridgewater Completes Just Four Passes
Miami Dolphins quarterback Teddy Bridgewater went 4-for-10 with 74 passing yards during Saturday's preseason finale against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Amari Cooper To See Plenty Of Targets
Cleveland Browns wide receiver Amari Cooper is the team's clear No. 1 pass-catcher by a wide margin.

Quarterback Jacoby Brissett is a big downgrade from Deshaun... Read More

Chicago Bears running back David Montgomery had 1,150 yards from scrimmage and seven touchdowns last year, but it was a drop in production after he finished fifth in scrimmage yards (1,508) with 10 touchdowns in 2020.

Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs is expected to be part of a committee approach to begin the season.
