Spencer Ware Not Expected To Play Saturday

Kansas City Chiefs running back Spencer Ware (hamstring) will work out prior to the divisional round game against the Colts on Saturday, but the hopes aren't high that he will be able to suit up, according to a source. That means that Damien Williams will once again be the main horse in this backfield with […]

Gary Kubiak Won't Be Broncos Offensive Coordinator

The Denver Broncos announced on Friday that former head coach Gary Kubiak will not be their offensive coordinator after agreeing with him earlier in the week, according to league sources.

Brian Flores The Favorite To Become Dolphins Head Coach

The Miami Dolphins have narrowed the focus of their search for their next head coach to New England Patriots defensive coordinator Brian Flores, according to sources. Nothing is official yet and the Dolphins can't make the move until the Patriots season is over. Miami moved on from Adam Gase after several mediocre years with him […]

Bill Lazor Out As Offensive Coordinator

Cincinnati Bengals offensive coordinator Bill Lazor will not return for the 2019 season. The Bengals are expected to hire Los Angeles Rams quarterbacks coach Zac Taylor as their new head coach, and he's likely to bring in his own staff. Lazor didn't have much of a chance this year due to injuries to quarterback Andy […]

Steve Sarkisian Closing In On Coordinator Job With Cardinals

The Arizona Cardinals are closing in on hiring former Falcons offensive coordinator Steve Sarkisian as their next offensive coordinator. Sarkisian was mostly a disappointment in his two years coordinating the offense in Atlanta with a bevvy of weapons, so he'll have his work cut out for him with a roster with very few playmakers outside […]

Melvin Gordon Will Play Against Patriots

Los Angeles Chargers running back Melvin Gordon (knee) practiced in full on Friday and was taken off the final injury report for the divisional round against the Patriots. Gordon is battling issues in both knees to close out the season and won't be 100 percent this Sunday, but he'll play. How many touches he'll be […]

Greg Roman To Become Ravens Offensive Coordinator

The Baltimore Ravens have named Greg Roman as their new offensive coordinator. The Ravens are re-organizing their offensive staff under head coach John Harbaugh, moving former offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg to a different role. Roman has always coordinated run-first offenses, which will continue to be the team's identity with quarterback Lamar Jackson under center. It's […]

Divisional Round Busts - Overvalued Players to Avoid In Fantasy Football

Eight teams remain alive in the chase to win the Super Bowl after a Wild Card Round that featured three home teams -- the Texans, the Ravens, and the Bears -- all lose. That leaves us with some matchups in this round that don't look great on paper, but that should provide some compelling football. […]

Flex Heroes and Zeroes - Divisional Round Playoffs

Does having fewer games on the schedule make your lineup decisions easier or harder? You'd think it would be the first choice, since the player pool is dwindled down to eight players at QB, realistically four at TE, and less than 20 at RB and WR. Stacking is almost a necessity and differentiating is hard […]

Bengals Want To Hire Zac Taylor As Next Head Coach

The Cincinnati Bengals want to hire Los Angeles Rams quarterbacks coach Zac Taylor as their next head coach whenever the Rams season is over, according to league sources. Taylor is an up-and-coming offensive mind that has been groomed by Sean McVay, and he's only 35 years old. Cinci's offense will be in good shape with […]

Spencer Ware, Sammy Watkins Questionable

Kansas City Chiefs running back Spencer Ware (hamstring) and wide receiver Sammy Watkins (foot) were both limited in practice all week and are questionable for Saturday against the Colts in the divisional round. Ware hasn't played since Dec. 9 and is likely to play second fiddle to Damien Williams in the backfield against the Colts. […]

Melvin Gordon Says He'll Practice Thursday

Los Angeles Chargers running back Melvin Gordon (knees) said he would have practiced on Wednesday, but head coach Anthony Lynn wanted him to "chill." Gordon said he will take part in practice on Thursday. Gordon should be fine to play against the Patriots in the divisional round on Sunday, but he's unlikely to be 100 […]

Todd Gurley Taken Off Final Injury Report

Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley (knee) practiced in full on Thursday and has been taken off the final injury report for the divisional round on Saturday against the Cowboys. Gurley has had the last three weeks to rest, so he should be at or very close to 100 percent against Dallas. He'll be […]

Dowell Loggains Expected To Join Jets

The New York Jets are expected to hire former Dolphins offensive coordinator Dowell Loggains as the main offensive assistant to new head coach Adam Gase, according to sources. Loggains was Miami's offensive coordinator under Gase in 2018 and also worked with him in Chicago. Loggains' main job, alongside Gase, will be to develop quarterback Sam […]

Jets To Hire Adam Gase As Head Coach

The New York Jets are hiring former Miami Dolphins head coach Adam Gase on Wednesday to be their next head coach. Gase is best known for coaching Peyton Manning to a record-setting year in Denver, but he pretty much flopped in his time with Miami and wasn't able to get quarterback Ryan Tannehill over the […]

Melvin Gordon Won't Practice Wednesday

Los Angeles Chargers running back Melvin Gordon (knees) is dealing with sore knees and won't practice on Wednesday, but head coach Anthony Lynn still expects Gordon to play in the divisional round against the Patriots on Sunday. Gordon had a minor left knee sprain in the wild-card win over the Ravens and returned to the […]

Sony Michel Should Lead Patriots In Carries Against Chargers

James White Has Excellent Matchup

New England Patriots running back James White will look to keep his fantastic regular season going when the team hosts the Chargers in the playoffs this weekend. White caught a career-high 87 receptions, racked up 1,176 yards from scrimmage with 12 total touchdowns as the most consistent runner in the Patriots rotating backfield. White's production […]

Alvin Kamara In Line For Plenty Of Work Against Eagles

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara will go up against an Eagles defense this Sunday that allowed the 12th fewest fantasy points to running backs during the regular season. The Eagles run defense shut down the Bears running attack in the Wild Card game but they still have allowed five 100-yard rushing games to […]

Kevin Stefanski To Be Permanent Offensive Coordinator

The Minnesota Vikings announced on Wednesday that Kevin Stefanski, who was a finalist for the Browns head coaching gig, will return in 2019 as the offensive coordinator, according to a source.

Gary Kubiak Named Offensive Coordinator In Denver

The Denver Broncos announced on Wednesday that former head coach Gary Kubiak will be the team's offensive coordinator in 2019.
