Jaguars Release Chris Ivory
The Jacksonville Jaguars released veteran running back Chris Ivory on Friday, which will save them $3.75 million against the salary cap. Ivory played very little behind promising rookie Leonard Fournette last season and didn't even play in the final two regular season games as a healthy scratch. Ivory had just 821 yards and four touchdowns […]
Dynasty Wide Receivers - Football Rankings Analysis
Wide receivers have been prioritized by dynasty owners in recent years, as the movement toward running-back-by-committee and relatively short shelf-life of running backs has made them a more volatile commodity. Receivers can be productive well into their 30s and tend to be more consistent. After 2017, we may be seeing a shift back toward the […]
Aaron Colvin Unlikely To Return
Jacksonville Jaguars impending free-agent cornerback Aaron Colvin is unlikely to return alongside Pro Bowl cornerbacks Jalen Ramsey and A.J. Bouye.

Dynasty Running Backs - Football Rankings Analysis
In dynasty leagues, running backs are always the most difficult position to gauge. They can be a great short-term investment, but can be a mind boggling issue when looking at their long-term value.

NFL Draft Sleepers - Braxton Berrios
This year's crop of wide receivers hasn't generated nearly as much enthusiasm as last year.

Blake Bortles Would Like To Return
Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles said he would like to return in 2018. "I would be thrilled to be able to stay here and play here. Hopefully that can happen," Bortles said.

Dede Westbrook Comes Up Short On Fourth Down In Defeat
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Dede Westbrook caught only one pass for 29 yards in the Jaguars 24-20 loss late to the Patriots in the AFC Championship Game.

Leonard Fournette's Quiet Second Half Stifles Jaguars Offense
Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette rushed for 76 yards and one touchdown as the Jaguars lost to the Patriots 24-20.
