2 weeks agoPhiladelphia Eagles quarterback
Jalen Hurts (knee) is expected to wear a brace during the NFC Championship Game against the Washington Commanders on Sunday. Hurts twisted his knee during the second half of last week's win over the Los Angeles Rams. He was able to play through the issue, but he was clearly limited because of the injury. The good news is, Hurts was able to practice in full on Thursday, so he should be cleared for this weekend. Hurts is going to be out there this weekend, but he might not be as mobile as everyone is used to seeing from him.

2 weeks agoFormer Las Vegas Raiders offensive coordinator Luke Getsy is expected to rejoin the Green Bay Packers in some capacity. Getsy has spent seven years with the Packers organization before leaving in 2022 to be the Chicago Bears offensive coordinator. He spent two years in Chicago before joining the Raiders as their OC this past season. It's uncertain what role Getsy would play in Green Bay, but he took on multiple roles during his time with the organization. He was the wide receivers coach and passing game coordinator, so Getsy should be able to contribute to this offense in some capacity.

2 weeks agoThe Houston Texans have decided to move on from offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik. The organization decided it was time for a change after their offense saw a major decline in production this past season. In his first year, Slowik saw a ton of success with then-rookie
C.J. Stroud under center. However, both Stroud and the Texans offense both regressed in 2024, which has now led to the departure of Slowik. Luckily there is still plenty of opportunities available, so Slowik should be able to land back on his feet.

2 weeks agoThe Jacksonville Jaguars have officially hired Tampa Bay Buccaneers offensive coordinator Liam Coen as their new head coach. It has been an odd couple of days, but it appears the drama is finally over. Coen originally interviewed with the Jags, but decided to head back to Tampa Bay instead. The Buccaneers were prepared to make Coen the highest-paid offensive coordinator in the league. Before that happened, the Jags fired their general manager Trent Baalke which led to Coen opening discussions with the Jags again. The two sides have agreed on a deal, so Coen will officially be the head coach in Jacksonville following his one-year stint in Tampa Bay. Coen did a tremendous job of helping
Baker Mayfield turn around his career. Hopefully, Coen is able to help
Trevor Lawrence step up his game next season.

2 weeks agoAccording to Jeff McLane of Inquirer.com, Philadelphia Eagles tight end
Dallas Goedert (ankle) was seen practicing on Friday. Fantasy managers should keep a close eye on his status on the final injury report, as he may carry an injury designation into the weekend. Goedert was unable to practice during the first two sessions of the week. However, seeing him back on the field on Friday is a promising sign. Goedert reportedly suffered this ankle injury during their victory over the Los Angeles Rams last weekend. In this contest, Goedert was the team's leading pass catcher, bringing in four passes for 56 yards. If Goedert can not play on Sunday against the Washington Commanders,
Grant Calcaterra would get the starting nod and be a viable value play in DFS competitions.

2 weeks agoAccording to Josina Anderson, the New York Jets are expected to hire Darren Mougey as their next general manager. Earlier this week, the Jets hired Aaron Glenn as their new head coach as they hope to turn their roster around. Mougey worked with the Denver Broncos as a scout for several years before being promoted to director of player personnel. He was then promoted to assistant general manager in 2022, a position he held for the past three years. Mougey will now be tasked to reshape the New York Jets alongside Glenn. The New York Jets have not made the postseason in 14 seasons, which is the longest streak in the NFL. The team has also had nine straight losing seasons. Mougey will look to turn the franchise around, and they should have a good opportunity to kickstart the rebuild with the No.7 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.

2 weeks agoAccording to Pete Thamel of ESPN, Ohio State running back Quinshon Judkins is leaving school early and declaring for the 2025 NFL Draft. Judkins just completed his junior season at Ohio State. Judkins shared the backfield with senior TreVeyon Henderson during their championship season. Judkins ran for 1,060 yards on 194 attempts, while Henderson saw a slightly less workload with 144 attempts. Judkins found the back of the end zone 16 times. He led the way in the National Championship game over Notre Dame, scoring three times and adding 121 total yards. Judkins played his first two seasons of college football with Ole Miss. Across three seasons, the 21-year-old averaged 5.1 yards per carry, totaling 3,785 rushing yards with 50 total TDs. Judkins is projected to be one of the first running backs selected on draft day.

2 weeks agoAccording to Matt Parrino of Syracuse.com, Buffalo Bills safety Taylor Rapp (hip) has been ruled out for Sunday's AFC Championship game against the Kansas City Chiefs. Rapp sustained this hip injury during their victory over the Baltimore Ravens last weekend. The 27-year-old was unable to practice all weekend and will set his sights on returning for the Super Bowl if the Bills can knock off the AFC's top seed. Through 16 games this season, Rapp tallied 85 tackles (49 solos) with 36 assists, seven deflections, three interceptions, and one forced fumble. Fantasy managers should expect Cole Bishop to receive the start on Sunday evening.

2 weeks agoAccording to Adam Schefter of ESPN, the Las Vegas Raiders are hiring Pete Carroll as their next head coach. Carroll and the Raiders agreed to a three-year deal with a fourth-year option. Carroll was the head coach of the Seattle Seahawks for 14 seasons and led them to ten playoff appearances and their only Super Bowl victory in franchise history. During his long tenure with Seattle, he held a 137-89-1 record and a 10-9 postseason record. He is also one of four head coaches to win both a National Championship and Super Bowl. He was the head skipper of USC from 2001 to 2009. The 73-year-old will be tasked to replace Antonio Pierce, who went 4-13 during his time as head coach. With the Raiders entering a rebuilding period, Carroll will bring much-needed winning experience to the locker room. With a new head coach, the Raiders will likely look to bring in a new quarterback either in free agency or with the No. 6 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.

2 weeks agoOhio State quarterback Will Howard and Notre Dame quarterback
Riley Leonard will both play in the 2025 Senior Bowl ahead of the NFL draft in April. In addition to Howard and Leonard, Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe, Ole Miss QB Jaxson Dart, Oregon QB
Dillon Gabriel and Louisville QB
Tyler Shough will be putting their talents on display. Howard, 23, won the national title for the Buckeyes and threw for 1,150 yards, eight touchdowns and two interceptions in four playoff games to potentially boost his draft stock in scouts' eyes. He had the best year of his collegiate career at Ohio State in 2024 after spending his first three seasons at Kansas State. Howard completed 73% of his passes for 4,010 yards and 35 TDs in 16 games. In a weak QB draft class, Howard could boost his stock even further with a strong Senior Bowl performance and could become a second-round selection in April.

2 weeks agoIn ESPN's latest poll of 20 NFL scouts and executives, Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders, the son of former NFL cornerback Deion Sanders, received 11 votes as the expected to overall pick in the upcoming 2025 NFL draft. Florida QB Cam Ward received nine votes. Last October, Georgia's
Carson Beck, Alabama's Jalen Milroe and Texas' Quinn Ewers also received votes. One scout described this year's QB class as "muddy," and the consensus is that this class is nowhere near as good as last year's in which a record six QBs went in the first round, all within the first 12 picks. Sanders isn't considered a plus athlete and is more of a dropback, pocket passer. If the Tennessee Titans keep the No. 1 overall pick, they could call Sanders' name as they look for an upgrade over
Will Levis, who they took in the second round in 2023.

2 weeks agoOle Miss quarterback Jaxson Dart announced on his X account on Thursday that he is officially declaring for the 2025 NFL draft. Dart won't be considered one of the top QB prospects for what is generally considered a weak QB class. He initially joined USC in 2021 but transferred to Ole Miss before the 2022 season after playing in six games as a freshman for the Trojans. In three seasons at Ole Miss, Dart had a 65.7 completion percentage with 10,617 passing yards, 72 touchdowns and 22 interceptions. He tacked on 1,500 rushing yards and 12 touchdowns on 371 rushing attempts. Dart's best season came in 2024 when he threw for 4,279 yards, 29 touchdown and only six interceptions. Although Dart almost certainly won't hear his name called in the first round of the 2025 draft, ESPN considers him a top-200 draft prospect.

2 weeks agoThe Las Vegas Raiders re-signed wide receiver
Alex Bachman to a Reserve/Futures deal on Thursday. Bachman spent most of the 2024 season on the Raiders' practice squad, but he was active for six games (one start) and caught all three of his targets for 31 yards and no touchdowns -- all in Week 6 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The 28-year-old pass-catcher originally went undrafted out of Wake Forest but latched on with the New York Giants. He appeared in four games for the G-Men in 2020 and 2021 but was not targeted at all in the passing game while receiving one carry for a loss of three yards in 2021. Bachman will continue his development with the Black and Silver this offseason and through training camp this summer as he looks to make the active 53-man roster for Week 1 of the 2025 regular season.

2 weeks agoThe Jacksonville Jaguars are expected to name Tampa Bay Buccaneers offensive coordinator Liam Coen as their new head coach. The two sides are reportedly in active negotiations, and Coen should be in Jacksonville next season, barring anything unexpected. This was an odd turn of events, as Coen interviewed with the Jags recently but decided afterwards to return to Tampa as their offensive coordinator. The Bucs were prepared to make Coen the highest-paid coordinator in the league after his tremendous performance with the team this past season. Now, Coen appears ready to ditch the Bucs and join the Jags after their decision to fire general manager Trent Baalke earlier this week. The hope is that Coen can turn around quarterback
Trevor Lawrence's career like he did with
Baker Mayfield this past season in Tampa.
