Demaryius Thomas Resumes Sprinting

New England Patriots wide receiver Demaryius Thomas (Achilles) has resumed sprinting as he works his way back from an Achilles injury.

Thomas' numbers have been on the decline for several seasons now, but he could still […]

Rex Burkhead Enjoying Healthy Camp

New England Patriots running back Rex Burkhead enjoyed an active day in the passing game during the team's joint practice with the Titans this past week.

Josh Gordon Conditionally Reinstated

New England Patriots wide receiver Josh Gordon has been conditionally reinstated by the NFL and can begin practicing with the Patriots.

Preparing for the Worst: Melvin Gordon/Ezekiel Elliott Holdouts

Holdouts are not new to the NFL. We're fresh off one of the most talked-about ones in last season's Le'Veon Bell skipping the year while with the Steelers. Everybody hoped Bell would eventually make it back to the field. Preseason went by. First week. Second, third, etc. Until there was a point of no return, […]

Around the NFL Pop Quiz: AFC North

My wife and I have started to watch Hard Knocks again, as is tradition along with writing these columns and bickering with my fantasy football league about rule changes that we don't need as much as would like to spar about for no reason other than we're all in our late 20's now and act […]

Teammate Phillip Dorsett also failed to finish the […]

Damien Harris Dealing With Wrist Injury

New England Patriots running back Damien Harris certainly wants to make an impression as a rookie.

Julian Edelman Providing Guidance From Sidelines

Phillip Dorsett Exits Practice

New England Patriots wide receiver Phillip Dorsett exited Wednesday's joint practice against the Titans. Dorsett went up to catch a pass but landed hard on the ground and finished the day in street clothes on the sidelines. Injuries have decimated the Patriots wide receivers room thus far in camp and Dorsett had served as a […]

Around the NFL Pop Quiz: AFC East

In 2018, after writing some uninspiring articles prompting me to wonder if I was producing anything of value or simply parroting the same advice that most of the fantasy internet had already trumpeted, I challenged myself.

Is the Next Tom Brady Out There?

In what has been described as a lackluster rookie quarterback class, there is really not a lot of value beyond the top couple of picks in dynasty leagues.

Brian Hoyer Connects For Two Touchdowns In Romp

New England Patriots quarterback Brian Hoyer completed 12-of-14 passes for 147 yards and two touchdown passes in the Patriots 31-3 preseason win over the Lions.

New England Patriots wide receiver N'Keal Harry made his NFL debut on Thursday, catching both his targeted passes for 36 yards in the Patriots 31-3 preseason victory.
