Is Desmond Ridder Starting for the Falcons? Where Should I Draft Him in Fantasy Football

The Atlanta Falcons selected former Cincinnati quarterback Desmond Ridder with the 74th pick in the third round of the 2022 NFL Draft. Atlanta chose him over Malik Willis and Matt Corral as the second quarterback off the board behind Kenny Pickett. We can assume the Falcons' front office believes Ridder has real upside, but it’s […]

Rashard Higgins Could Take Targets From Robbie Anderson

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Rashard Higgins and quarterback Baker Mayfield had a knack for connecting on big plays and touchdowns with the Cleveland Browns, so it's no surprise that Higgins has been one of Mayfield's favorite targets in training camp. Higgins has also earned the trust of backup Sam Darnold with his strong camp. D.J. […]

Will James Robinson or Travis Etienne Be The RB1 For The Jaguars?

With James Robinson suffering a torn Achilles deep into last season, it quickly became the expectation that a healthy Travis Etienne would be the Jaguars' RB1 this year.

D'Onta Foreman Unproductive In Preseason Start

D'Onta Foreman started at running back for the Carolina Panthers and garnered 16 yards on seven carries in their 20-10 loss to the New England Patriots.
