Patriots Visit With Demaryius Thomas, T.J. Yeldon

The New England Patriots visited with free-agent wide receiver Demaryius Thomas (Achilles) and running back T.J. Yeldon on Wednesday, according to a source. It's fair to wonder how much Thomas has left after he suffered a torn Achilles late last season. The former first-round pick of the Broncos has struggled in recent seasons with drops, […]

NFL Draft 32 for 32 - Washington Redskins

The Washington Redskins are another intriguing team heading towards the NFL Draft. After the injury to Alex Smith sent them scrambling for a QB, the team decided to trade for Case Keenum, who disappointed in his only year in Denver. Keenum, assuming he starts, will not have much to work with on the outside. Gone […]

Colts Visit With Spencer Ware

The Indianapolis Colts hosted free-agent running back Spencer Ware for a visit on Tuesday. With Indy's backfield being led by Marlon Mack and with Nyheim Hines in a pass-catching role and Jordan Wilkins providing depth, the Colts would be a poor landing spot for Ware from a fantasy perspective. Ware had his best year with […]

NFL Draft 32 for 32 - Atlanta Falcons

The 2018 Atlanta Falcons were a Jekyll and Hyde team. On offense, they were among the league's best in moving the ball (sixth in total yards) but on defense, they could not stop anyone (25th in 26.4 PPG allowed). Matt Ryan rebounded in a big way from a poor 2017 (4,923 yards with 38 total […]

Nick Chubb Should Be Starter In 2019

Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb should be the starting running back in 2019, even after Kareem Hunt serves his eight-game suspension. Chubb, the No. 33 pick in 2018, earned the team's trust with a strong rookie season and should be in the RB1 conversation during draft season. However, Hunt, who led the league in […]

Bengals Release Mark Walton

The Cincinnati Bengals released running back Mark Walton over the weekend after he was arrested for the third time this year. The fourth-round pick in 2018 finished his rookie season with just 34 rushing yards on 14 carries, as he was buried on the depth chart. He surrendered to police last week to face felony […]

NFL Draft 32 for 32 - Miami Dolphins Outlook

Another team looking at new beginnings is the Miami Dolphins. Adam Gase is off to New York and Ryan Tannehill will be the backup QB in Tennessee. Replacing them is former Patriots defensive coordinator Bryan Flores and the team signed Ryan Fitzpatrick to be the bridge to another franchise QB. The question will be just […]

Fantasy Bomb Pod - AAF Season Review and Final Words

NFL Draft 32 for 32 - Green Bay Packers Outlook

The 2018 season for the Green Bay Packers proved to be a waste of yet another great statistical season for Aaron Rodgers (4,442 yards and 27 total TDs). The team seemed to be playing uninspired football under what proved to be Mike McCarthy's final season as head coach. Enter new HC Matt LaFleur, whose name […]

2019 Dynasty Price Check - Derrius Guice

Last season, the Washington Redskins drafted Derrius Guice and hopes were high that the former LSU running back could be the long term answer for a team that had gone through a revolving door of backs since Alfred Morris went to Dallas after the 2015 season. Instead, Guice tore his ACL and missed the entire […]

NFL Draft 32 for 32 - Cincinnati Bengals Outlook

The Cincinnati Bengals are on the verge of a full-on rebuild beginning in 2019. New HC Zac Taylor inherits a team that is a mix of talented young players with aging veterans needing to be replaced. One of which is Andy Dalton. Dalton, who has flashed potential over the years, is in dire need of […]

Ravens To Visit With Josh Jacobs

The Baltimore Ravens are set to visit with Alabama running back Josh Jacobs. The Ravens already have Gus Edwards, Mark Ingram and Kenneth Dixon, but they may not be done adding to their backfield and are fully committed to a run-first approach with Lamar Jackson under center as the franchise signal-caller. Jacobs would obviously have […]

49ers Running Back Situation Is Complicated

The San Francisco 49ers have five running backs on the roster heading into the 2019 season, and it's unclear how the pecking order will shake out. Head coach Kyle Shanahan said the running backs on the roster will decide who plays and not him. "It’s up to the players. They will define their roles. That’s […]

NFL Draft 32 for 32 - Denver Broncos Outlook

The winds of change have hit the mile high city. Gone are Vance Joseph and Case Keenum, enter Vic Fangio and Joe Flacco. Flacco seems more like a bridge to the next franchise quarterback rather than a player that Fangio will be hanging his career on. Flacco is obviously on the downside of his career […]

Mark Walton Arrested Again

Cincinnati Bengals running back Mark Walton has been arrested for the third time in less than three months. The 21-year-old surrendered on Thursday to face felony charges of carrying a concealed weapon, marijuana possession and reckless driving from a high-speed chase on March 12. Walton was shot in the back with a Taser gun while […]

Phillip Lindsay Not Putting Timetable On Return

Denver Broncos running back Phillip Lindsay, who is recovering after right wrist surgery, is not putting a timetable on his return this offseason. Head coach Vic Fangio already ruled Lindsay out of voluntary minicamp later this month, but general manager John Elway suggested that he could return for organized team activities in May/June. Lindsay was […]

NFL Draft 32 for 32 - Buffalo Bills Outlook

Although the way the season unraveled for the Buffalo Bills, the argument can be made that this a team headed in the right direction. They have likely found their quarterback of the future in Josh Allen, while also sporting a young and improving defense. Just two years removed from a playoff appearance, with just a […]

Lions Willing To Trade No. 8 Pick

Detroit Lions general manager Bob Quinn admitted that he's open to trading the No. 8 pick of the draft in order to move down within the first round. "It's the best way to build your roster the right way," Quinn said on the RapSheet and Friends podcast. "No. 8, I think there's a number of […]

Redskins Plan For Timeshare With Derrius Guice, Adrian Peterson

The Washington Redskins plan to go into the 2019 season using a timeshare in the backfield including running backs Derrius Guice and Adrian Peterson. Peterson isn't getting any younger, but he managed to top 1,000 yards rushing last year and remains in great shape. However, the team selected Guice in the second round of last […]

NFL Draft 32 for 32 - Detroit Lions Outlook

The first year of the Matt Patricia era for the Detroit Lions did not go exactly as planned. The team struggled on both sides of the ball, while Matthew Stafford (3,777 yards, 21 TDs, 11 INTs) had his worst statistical season since 2012. There seemed to be a disconnect between Patricia and now departed OC […]

Ravens Expect Marshal Yanda To Play In 2019

The Baltimore Ravens expect Pro Bowl right guard Marshal Yanda to play in 2019. There had been speculation that Yanda was considering retirement, but the Ravens fully believe he'll be their starting right guard this year. It would be a big blow to the Ravens, an extremely run-first team under new franchise quarterback Lamar Jackson, […]

Jaguars Sign Benny Cunningham

The Jacksonville Jaguars signed free-agent running back Benny Cunningham to an undisclosed deal on Tuesday. The 28-year-old didn't have much of a role the last two seasons with the Bears, running the ball just 20 times while catching 21 passes. He'll join a mediocre list of depth behind Leonard Fournette that includes Alfred Blue (signed […]

Browns Won't Give Duke Johnson Away

The Cleveland Browns have been getting calls on running back Duke Johnson, but they won't just give him away. Johnson basically landed on the trade block this offseason when the team signed Kareem Hunt, even though he'll be suspended for eight games in 2019. Johnson comes cheap this year and is one of the more […]

NFL Draft 32 for 32 - Jacksonville Jaguars Outlook

Following a near trip to the Super Bowl in 2017, the Jaguars came crashing back down to Earth in 2018. The team was seemingly in the mindset that things would play out the same as the previous season, just by showing up on the field. Nothing could be further from the case. Blake Bortles regressed […]

Duke Johnson Asks To Be Traded

The representatives for Cleveland Browns running back Duke Johnson have asked the team to trade him, according to a league source. The Jets, Texans and Eagles have all been interested in Johnson since the Browns signed Kareem Hunt in February, and other teams have inquired as well. Johnson also didn't show up to voluntary offseason […]

Jaguars Sign Alfred Blue

The Jacksonville Jaguars signed free-agent running back Alfred Blue to an undisclosed one-year deal on Monday. In five seasons with the Texans, Blue had 2,407 yards and eight touchdowns on the ground while catching 69 passes for 470 yards. He rushed for only 499 yards and two touchdowns over a full season last year with […]

C.J. Anderson Reaches Agreement With Lions

The Detroit Lions reached an agreement on an undisclosed one-year deal with free-agent running back C.J. Anderson on Monday, according to a source. Anderson only had 24 carries in nine games with the Panthers in 2018 before being released. He was picked up late in the year by the Rams to help fill in for […]

Duke Johnson Not Present Monday

Cleveland Browns running back Duke Johnson was not present on Monday for the start of voluntary offseason workouts. Johnson has been mentioned in trade talks this offseason after the team acquired Kareem Hunt, and he also saw his usage drop significantly in the second half of the 2018 season. The Browns say they have a […]

Darren Sproles Won't Make Decision Until May

Free-agent running back Darren Sproles said he won't make a decision on whether he'll retire until May. He'll turn 36 in June but has had talks with the Philadelphia Eagles about coming back for one more year. While Sproles could still be useful as a return man and as a pass-catcher out of the backfield, […]
