NFL Draft Losers - Dynasty Edition
The NFL Draft is a time where collegiate players find new opportunities playing professional football. It's a time when NFL teams fill important holes in their rosters with young talent. But it's also a time where two things also happen. First, that young talent often displaces veteran players on a team's depth chart, leading to […]
Justin Carter 5 years agoIs Todd Gurley Done in Dynasty?
Done is a strong word. When we say a player is "done," we're usually making a judgment of a player's game right now, as in "yeah, Tom Brady is done," which means "2020 Tom Brady is going to stink." But with dynasty leagues, the word "done" carries some different meanings. "Todd Gurley is done," for […]
Justin Carter 5 years agoTitans Not Looking At Veteran Receivers Yet
According to senior writer Jim Wyatt from TennesseeTitans.com, there have been no "rumblings" from the team at this point about adding a veteran free-agent wide receiver to the team. As of now, the team's three-receiver set includes A.J. Brown, Corey Davis and Adam Humphries, and the team didn't really address the loss of free-agent wideout Tajae […]
Justin Carter 5 years agoJaguars Sign Chris Thompson
The Jacksonville Jaguars have signed former Redskins running back Chris Thompson to a one-year deal. When healthy, Thompson is one of the NFL's most interesting pass-catching backs, but he hasn't played more than 11 games in a season since 2016. Thompson won't be much of a threat to take rushing attempts away from anyone -- […]

The Jacksonville Jaguars spent a second-round pick on Colorado wide receiver Laviska Shenault Jr. in April's NFL Draft, so it was to be expected that the team would find ways to get him on the field early. But while the general expectation was to use Shenault in three-wide sets with D.J. Chark Jr. and Dede […]

The Tennessee Titans have picked up the fifth-year option for cornerback Adoree' Jackson. Jackson appeared in 10 games last year, recording 45 tackles and failing to pick off a pass, with the promising young defensive back seeing his overall snap rate drop in the games he did play. But Jackson graded out extremely well via […]

Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Doug Marrone reiterated that second-year quarterback Gardner Minshew II is his starting quarterback on Friday, though he did say that there are "some veterans out there that [Jacksonville] might look at to bring in" as potential backups for Minshew. Rumors have circulated that Andy Dalton could be that veteran passer, but […]
Justin Carter 5 years agoTitans Declining Corey Davis' Fifth-Year Option
The Tennessee Titans have reportedly declined wide receiver Corey Davis' fifth-year option, which means that the former fifth overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft will now be a free agent after the 2020 NFL season. Davis has already been replaced as the team's No. 1 receiver by 2019 draftee A.J. Brown, and now his […]

Quarterback is the most important offensive position on a football field. Your quarterback's strengths and weaknesses are the starting point for your entire offensive's strengths and weaknesses. For this reason, it's a position that teams invest heavily in during the NFL Draft, with quarterback-needy teams often spending first round picks on players who might not […]
Justin Carter 5 years agoJaguars Interested In Andy Dalton
The Jacksonville Jaguars are reportedly interested in former Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton, who Cincinnati released on Thursday. Dalton's coming off a 2019 year in which he started 13 games for Bengals, finishing with 3495 yards, 16 touchdowns, and 14 interceptions while completing 59.5 percent of his passes. Dalton's not a high ceiling player at this […]

Free-agent kicker Adam Vinatieri reportedly wants to return to the NFL for a 25th season. His rehab following knee surgery has been slowed down due to COVID-19, but Vinatieri is hoping to be healthy and ready to go when the new NFL season kicks off. After spending the past 14 seasons with the Colts, it […]

The Jacksonville Jaguars and guard Andrew Norwell have agreed to a contract restructure, lowering Norwell's cap hit and overall salary in exchange for the team fully guaranteeing his $9 million base salary. By taking less money, Norwell now doesn't have to worry about being a cap casualty this offseason, and with him set to be […]
Justin Carter 5 years agoDarrynton Evans Should Serve As Third-Down Back
The Tennessee Titans spent a third-round pick on Appalachian State running back Darrynton Evans in the 2020 NFL Draft despite the team having a workhorse lead back already in Derrick Henry. But Evans should be on the field in 2020, says John Glennon of The Athletic, who expects Evans to serve a change-of-pace role for […]
Justin Carter 5 years agoNFL Draft Winners - Dynasty Edition
The 2020 NFL Draft has come and gone, and a whole bunch of new players are on a whole bunch of new teams. That changes the calculus of a lot of things around the league. And while it can be pretty easy to identify short term fantasy winners, sometimes you can miss the forest for […]
Justin Carter 5 years agoThey Took Who??? Confusing NFL Draft Picks
Every year, the NFL holds a draft, and every year during that draft, 32 NFL teams make decisions that will positively impact the team going forward. But every year, some teams also make decisions that are...confusing. Confounding. Puzzling. Whatever adjective you want to use, teams make decisions that leave us, the outsiders watching the draft, […]
Justin Carter 5 years agoLeonard Fournette Remains Starter After No Trade Happens
While the Jacksonville Jaguars reportedly tried to trade running back Leonard Fournette during the NFL Draft, no deal materialized, and general manager Dave Caldwell says that Fournette remains the starter. Caldwell also said that the reason the team didn't draft any running back was that no one was available that they thought could beat out […]
Justin Carter 5 years agoColts Say Jacob Eason Is Competing For Third-String Job
The Indianapolis Colts selected quarterback Jacob Eason in the fourth round of the NFL Draft, but Colts head coach Frank Reich warns that people shouldn't expect too much from Eason out of the gate. Philip Rivers and Jacoby Brissett are currently established as the top two passers in Indianapolis, and Reich says that Eason still […]
Justin Carter 5 years agoColts Sign Kicker Rodrigo Blankenship
The Indianapolis Colts have agreed to a deal with undrafted free-agent kicker Rodrigo Blankenship. The former Georgia Bulldog made 82.5 percent of his field-goal attempts in his four years of college ball and was a perfect 200-for-200 on extra points. Blankenship will provide some needed competition with Chase McLaughlin, who bounced between three teams as […]

With the 246th pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, the Miami Dolphins selected Navy wide receiver/quarterback Malcolm Perry. With the Midshipmen, Perry played quarterback, rushing for 2,017 yards and 21 touchdowns while throwing for 1,084 yards and seven scores last year. He had 22 catches during his college career. Perry is an interesting project who […]
Justin Carter 5 years agoBuccaneers Add Another Running Back In Raymond Calais
With the 245th pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers grabbed another running back. This time, it was Louisiana’s Raymond Calais, a fast but undersized back who’ll look to make big plays in the passing game. The problem? He wasn’t used much as a receiver in college, so he’ll need to improve […]
Justin Carter 5 years agoVikings Grab Iowa Quarterback Nate Stanley
With the 244th pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, the Minnesota Vikings selected Iowa quarterback Nate Stanley. A solid player for the Hawkeyes, Stanley never threw for a completion percentage over 60 percent and had just 16 touchdowns to seven interceptions as a senior. But Stanley does hold onto the ball too long but has […]
Justin Carter 5 years agoTitans Take Safety Chris Jackson
With the 243rd pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, the Tennessee Titans selected Marshall safety Chris Jackson. Jackson played 10 games in 2019, finishing with 25 tackles and an interception. Jackson’s role in Tennessee is likely to be nearly exclusively on special teams, with some use as a backup safety if he’s able to find […]
Justin Carter 5 years agoPackers Draft Jonathan Garvin
With the 242nd pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, the Green Bay Packers took Miami defensive end Jonathan Garvin. Garvin had five sacks and nine tackles for loss last year for Miami, and while he has made some impressive plays at the college level, his lack of ideal strength and concerns about his effort dropped […]
Justin Carter 5 years agoBears Add To Offensive Line With Arlington Hambright
The Chicago Bears used the 226th pick in the 2020 NFL Draft on Colorado offensive tackle Arlington Hambright. This pick and the team’s selection of guard Lachavious Simmons one pick later were the only times that the Bears grabbed offensive line help in this draft, and Hambright should have at least some shot at winning […]
Justin Carter 5 years agoVikings Draft Michigan State Defensive End Kenny Willekes
On Saturday the Minnesota Vikings used the 225th pick in the 2020 NFL Draft on Michigan State defensive end Kenny Willekes. A productive college player who had 23.5 sacks in his final three years with the Spartans, Willekes has the chance to be a solid rotational lineman right off the bat, with the upside to […]
Justin Carter 5 years agoTitans Draft Quarterback Cole McDonald
With the 224th pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, the Tennessee Titans drafted Hawaii quarterback Cole McDonald. The Titans were always a candidate to add a quarterback this offseason, as the only backup on the roster behind Ryan Tannehill is Logan Woodside. McDonald threw for 4,135 yards and 33 touchdowns as a junior before declaring […]
Justin Carter 5 years agoJaguars Add To Secondary With Chris Claybrooks
The Jacksonville Jaguars took their fourth defensive back of the 2020 NFL Draft on Saturday, grabbing Memphis corner Chris Claybrooks. Claybrook’s numbers at Memphis don’t pop much — 42 tackles, 0.5 sacks and just one interception this past season — and he’s likely going to either play on special teams or fail to make Jacksonville’s […]
Justin Carter 5 years agoEno Benjamin Slides To Cardinals In Seventh Round
Arizona State running back Eno Benjamin is now Arizona Cardinals running back Eno Benjamin, with Arizona using the 222nd pick on the 5-foot-9 rusher. Benjamin was arguably a top-100 player in this draft class, but he sunk down draft boards on Saturday, with that slide finally stopping in the seventh round. A dynamic player who […]
Justin Carter 5 years agoPackers Draft Center Jake Hanson
The Green Bay Packers have used the 208th pick in the 2020 NFL Draft on Oregon center Jake Hanson. Green Bay is set at center in the short term with Corey Linsley, but Linsley is in the final year of a three-year contract extension, so it’s not out of the question that a good showing […]

With the 207th pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, the Buffalo Bills have selected Oregon State wide receiver Isaiah Hodgins. Hodgins is the second receiver of the draft for Buffalo, who took UCF’s Gabriel Davis in Round 4. Hodgins is a tall receiver but lacks top-end speed, which will hurt his chances of making the […]
