RB Committees Not to Avoid in 2021

Nobody likes a running back committee. Until you have to do so just out of pure logic. If we're offered the chance of drafting a bell-cow a la Christian McCaffrey in 2019, we're always going to pull the trigger no matter what the outcome ends up being. Just the fact that the man will carry the ball […]

Fool Me Once... Second-Year Running Backs Who'll Bust Again

Out of pretty much every NFL position, running back is the one where immediate success should be the most expected.

Zach Wilson Performs Poorly In First Training Camp Practice

Newly signed New York Jets rookie quarterback Zach Wilson had a tough go of it in his first training camp practice as a professional. Per NYDN's D.J.

Top Backup Running Backs To Pick in Drafts

NFL Rookie Spotlight - Zach Wilson

The New York Jets have struggled to find quality quarterback play since Hall of Famer Joe Namath's legendary career in the Big Apple.

Denzel Mims Working Exclusively With The Second Team

New York Jets wide receiver Denzel Mims has yet to take a first-team rep through two training camp practices, signaling that the new coaching staff may be down on the second-year wideout.

The New York Jets are using Corey Davis, Jamison Crowder, and Keelan Cole as their starting receivers so far in training camp, while second-year receiver Denzel Mims works with the second team. Davis and Crowder aren't surprises, but that fight to be the other receiver on the field when the Jets go with three wides […]

Touchdown Regression Candidates - Quarterback

Throwing a lot of touchdowns? Good! Throwing a lot of touchdowns at a rate that surpasses either your average level or the league average level? Good when it happens, but maybe not so good the next year, when you can come crashing back down to Earth. Not every quarterback is going to throw for Aaron […]

Marcus Maye Activated From Non-Football Injury List

New York Jets safety Marcus Maye has been activated off the non-football injury list. He passed his physical and should have no problems heading into training camp. Possibly, his absence was a negotiating tactic, but the Jets are unwilling to pay him top tier money. Maye recorded 11 passes defended and two interceptions last season. […]

Zach Wilson And Jets Not Close On Deal

New York Jets quarterback Zach Wilson remains unsigned as training camp begins. The No. 2 overall pick has not reported to camp yet. It sounds like the Jets are unlikely to budge on contract talks.

The NFL has become a pass-first league, and fantasy football general managers have adapted their strategies to coincide with this.
