Mac Jones Could Struggle In Second Season

New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones has been fairly mediocre throughout the preseason. To be fair, the Patriots as an entire offense have looked rough during their three preseason games. There's still time to work out the issues, but Jones might not be the player they thought he was. Chad Graff of The Athletic believes […]

Rhamondre Stevenson Likely To Have Extended Role

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson could be in for a heavier workload this season. Fellow running back Ty Montgomery (ankle) went down during the preseason finale on Friday.

Zamir White (RB, LV) - 2022 Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~154 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~169 ANALYSIS:Out with the old, in with the new. That's the philosophy in Vegas as new coach Josh McDaniels takes over.
