Running backs have always dominated the first round of fantasy drafts, but that has changed in recent years.

However, that doesn't mean running […]

Steelers Non-Committal On Najee Harris' Fifth-Year Option
While Pittsburgh Steelers general manager Omar Khan said that the team thinks "very highly" of running back Najee Harris, he was also non-committal on whether the team will pick up his fifth-year option.

The Seahawks, for the first time since 2009, will have a new head coach. The front office opted to move on from Pete Carroll.

2024 Free Agency Preview: Biggest Positional Needs For The San Francisco 49ers
Despite a roster that is loaded from top to bottom, the 49ers just cannot seem to win the final game of the season. There are few teams as talented as San Francisco's. In years past, it was easy to point at the quarterback position as the reason why, but Brock Purdy has solidified the position […]
Braden Smith Undergoes Knee Surgery
Indianapolis Colts right tackle Braden Smith (knee) had surgery on the knee that had him hobbled for much of last season, according to general manager Chris Ballard.

Travis Etienne Jr.'s Touches To Be Scaled Back?
Jacksonville Jaguars running back Travis Etienne Jr.'s 325 touches last year were third-most in the NFL for a RB, but head coach Doug Pederson said that Etienne as a workhorse back "is not the recipe" he prefers.

2024 Free Agency Preview: Biggest Positional Needs For The Los Angeles Rams
There may not be a top-heavier roster in the entire NFL than the Los Angeles Rams. The player with the 10th-highest cap hit is Tutu Atwell, who is scheduled to make $1.8 million.

2024 Free Agency Preview: Biggest Positional Needs For The Arizona Cardinals
Looking at just their record, the Cardinals had a terrible season. However, they were a pesky, competitive team for several games despite being sorely outgunned talent wise.
