Coaching Matters: 2021 Arizona Cardinals Coaching Staff Preview

After every NFL season, NFL teams take the time to evaluate not only the players but also the coaching staff and front office as well.

Quarterback Sleepers and Draft Targets

Each year it seems like a new quarterback has a career season, and it's usually because they throw touchdowns at an alarming rate that year. These same quarterbacks are normally drafted aggressively the year following their breakout, and often times fantasy managers are left disappointed because they didn't match the output from the prior year. […]

Patrick Mahomes Expected To Have No Restrictions

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes believes that he will have no restrictions with his left foot when training camp starts. Mahomes underwent toe surgery after the season and recently shed his walking boot. Mahomes hasn't had a setback since then and it's a great sign for the signal caller looking ahead to this season. […]

Ben Roethlisberger Mostly A Spectator At Camp On Friday

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger did not participate in most team periods during Friday's practice, with Dwayne Haskins instead getting additional reps.

Trevor Lawrence (QB, JAX) - 2021 Fantasy Football Draft Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~100 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~110 ANALYSIS: You can grab the number one pick of the 2021 NFL Draft as a QB2 in the double-digit rounds. He is a great quarterback to take a shot on if you wait on the position. Lawrence has a strong arm and can make all the throws […]

Lamar Jackson Expected To Get Paid Soon

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson is expected to land a deal soon worth between $40 and $45 million per year, according to ESPN's Dan Graziano. Jackson has been one of the most explosive and productive signal-callers over the last few seasons, winning the Most Valuable Player award in 2019. While the 24-year-old regressed to some […]

Joe Burrow Draws Noteworthy Comparison

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow (knee) was a favorite to finish last season as the league's Rookie of the Year. However, after he took a huge hit during a Week 7 encounter against the Cleveland Browns, resulting in a torn ACL and MCL in his left knee, Justin Herbert surpassed him to claim the award. […]

Dak Prescott Takes Full Snaps Thursday

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott (ankle) took full team snaps on the first day of training camp on Thursday for the first time since suffering his right ankle injury last October. Prescott completed 11 of 16 passes in 11-on-11 drills. It's not a surprise, but it's great to hear after the gruesome compound fracture that […]

Ronnie Stanley Not Ready For Start Of Camp

The Baltimore Ravens placed left tackle Ronnie Stanley (ankle) on the Physically Unable to Perform list on Thursday. It doesn't come as a huge surprise after Stanley had a second ankle surgery in March. He was cleared to resume running over a month ago, but he won't be ready for the start of training camp […]

Eagles Expected To Trade For Deshaun Watson?

According to Philadelphia Eagles insider Howard Eskin, the Houston Texans are coming to grips with the fact that they are likely going to trade quarterback Deshaun Watson, regardless of if he's suspended by the league for his sexual-assault charges. According to sources around the league, only the Denver Broncos, Miami Dolphins and Eagles have a […]

Ben Roethlisberger Slimmer Heading Into 2021 Season

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, who has been one of the heavier quarterbacks in the league during his 13-year career, is looking slimmer as he heads into training camp in what will likely be the final season of his career. Roethlisberger attempted the third-most passes (608) last year, but he also averaged 6.3 yards per […]

Tua Tagovailoa (QB, MIA) - 2021 Fantasy Football Draft Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~130 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~165 ANALYSIS: Tua's ADP of 103 has him getting off draft boards as the QB18... while he has a QB12 projection (again, via PFF). That, translated to a simple ROI figure, means that Tua is the most valuable player at the position with an ADP below 100. He's […]

Cheap Best-Ball Stacks: QB/WR Duos to Draft Late

Best ball is a different beast than traditional season-long fantasy football leagues. No waivers or trades mean hitting the right draft picks from beginning to end is the sole determinant of success. This is quantified by win rates, or how often a player was rostered on league-winning teams. The results are often unexpected because it's […]

Deep-League Quarterback Sleepers

Some people climb stadium steps backward with weights strapped around their wrists and ankles. Others eat hot peppers by the jarful or build tiny ships inside bottles. The hardiest fantasy football degenerates test their mettle by playing in leagues so deep they must scrutinize the relative merits of, say, Andy Dalton and Drew Lock. They […]

Broncos Leaning Teddy Bridgewater Over Drew Lock?

The Denver Broncos are leaning towards quarterback Teddy Bridgewater over Drew Lock in the competition to be the team's Week 1 starter in 2021 against the New York Giants, in the opinion of The Denver Post's Ryan O'Halloran. The Broncos could rely on a potentially elite defense in Weeks 1-3 against the Giants, Jaguars and […]

Dak Prescott Expected To Be A Full Participant In Camp

Dallas Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy said that he anticipates quarterback Dak Prescott (ankle) being a "full participant" when training camp begins. It's not a foregone conclusion, and the Cowboys will keep a close eye on their franchise signal-caller, but it's great news as he attempts to have a bounce-back season after his gruesome broken […]

Baker Mayfield Not Worried About Possible Extension

Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield reiterated on Wednesday that he's "not worried at all" about a possible contract extension with the team this summer. Mayfield is only worried about winning after leading the team to a playoff berth in 2020 without star wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. (knee). The 26-year-old signal-caller is under contract through […]

Offensive Line Could Struggle In Front Of Ben Roethlisberger

The Pittsburgh Steelers offensive line is young and inexperienced going into the 2021 season after they overhauled the unit after an atrocious 2020 season (last in the NFL) running the football. A best-case scenario this year would be some growing pains that are masked by rookie running back Najee Harris and a new-look offensive scheme. […]

Sam Darnold Could Thrive In New Environment

Carolina Panthers quarterback Sam Darnold could put together his best season as a pro in his new environment away from the Jets. Darnold didn't exactly prove that he was worthy of being the third overall pick in three seasons in New York, never exceeding 3000 passing yards, 20 touchdowns, or a 61 percent completion rate. […]

Tom Brady's Trainer Expects Two More Years From Him

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady's personal trainer/life coach/diet guru Alex Guerrero said he expects Brady to play at least two more seasons in the NFL, which would allow him to fulfill his goal of playing in the NFL until the age of 45.
