Jacksonville Jaguars 2020 Fantasy Outlook 

Two seasons removed from an AFC Championship appearance, the Jacksonville Jaguars brought in former Super Bowl MVP Nick Foles to lead the team in 2019.

New England Patriots wide receiver N'Keal Harry lost half of his rookie season in 2019 after suffering injuries last preseason.

Open Competition For No. 4/5 Receiver Jobs In New England

The New England Patriots competition for the fourth and fifth receiver spots this summer is wide open, in the opinion of The Athletic's Jeff Howe.

Joejuan Williams Has Been Improving His Versatility

New England Patriots defensive back Joejuan Williams is increasing his value through versatility this offseason.

Can you name every fantasy league you played in last season? Probably not. But can you think of their average structure?
