Will the Chiefs or Bills Sign DeAndre Hopkins? Which Team Would Be a Better Fit?
It’s a massive surprise that the Arizona Cardinals released DeAndre Hopkins without getting anything in return.

Kadarius Toney Receiving Praise From Coaches
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Kadarius Toney could very well end up being the No. 1 wideout for this offense. The departure of JuJu Smith-Schuster and Mecole Hardman leaves plenty of room for Toney to step up. Offensive coordinator Matt Nagy recently praised the 24-year-old wideout. Toney didn't do much with the Chiefs last season, […]

Luke Musgrave Fantasy Football Profile - NFL Rookie Sleeper
By now, we all know the drill. The Green Bay Packers are not going to use a first-round pick on a pass-catcher. It hasn’t happened since the Packers selected Javon Walker in 2002.

Dynasty Price Check - Michael Pittman Jr.
Michael Pittman Jr. was an overhyped wide receiver coming off a breakout season in 2022. But neither the Colts nor Pittman lived up to expectations. New quarterback Matt Ryan was cooked. Coach Frank Reich was fired halfway through the season. Interim coach Jeff Saturday couldn't get it done on Sundays. Can we expect better from […]
