Jets Could Get Creative For Kirk Cousins

The New York Jets are viewed as the favorites to land Washington Redskins impending free-agent quarterback Kirk Cousins because they are projected to have $73.2 million in salary cap space, but they might get creative in order to give Cousins an offer he can't refuse. With running back Matt Forte and defensive end Muhammad Wilkerson […]

Dynasty Running Backs - Football Rankings Analysis

In dynasty leagues, running backs are always the most difficult position to gauge. They can be a great short-term investment, but can be a mind boggling issue when looking at their long-term value. The running back position is the most volatile due to injury and career length. Some of the best fantasy seasons from running […]

Jets Willing To Go All Out For Kirk Cousins

Sources say that the New York Jets are willing to pay whatever it takes to land Washington Redskins impending free-agent quarterback Kirk Cousins unless the 'Skins tag him for a third time, which is highly unlikely. The Jets will have to convince Cousins that he'll have a chance to win in New York. If they […]

Austin Seferian-Jenkins Turned Down Two-Year Deal

New York Jets impending free-agent tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins, who caught 50 passes in 2017, already turned down a two-year, $8 million deal from the Jets that was short on guarantees and total value. Seferian-Jenkins is still just 25 years old and has turned his life around off the field, so he and the Jets […]

Jets Could Consider AJ McCarron

The New York Jets would likely consider free-agent quarterback AJ McCarron as a fallback option if they fail to sign Redskins impending free-agent Kirk Cousins, according to ESPN New York's Rich Cimini. The Jets considered trading for McCarron last year, but they chose veteran gunslinger Josh McCown instead, and Cimini personally still prefers McCown over […]

Rick Dennison Hired As Run-Game Coordinator

The New York Jets hired rick Dennison as their offensive line coach and run-game coordinator. The team also officially announced Jeremy Bates as the new offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach and Steve Jackson as an assistant defensive backs coach. Dennison and the Buffalo running game was a disappointment in 2017 in his lone year there, […]

Muhammad Wilkerson Expected To Be Cut

New York Jets defensive lineman Muhammad Wilkerson will carry a $16.75 million salary for the 2018 season, and the only question is whether the Jets designate him a pre-June 1 cut or post-June 1 cut. His 2018 salary cap hit will be $20 million. The Jets can clear $11 million in cap space by cutting […]

Dynasty Quarterbacks - Football Rankings Analysis

When looking at the quarterback position for dynasty leagues, just as the other positions, fantasy owners need to think about the construction of their roster. Are they in win-now mode and can saddle up with a veteran like Tom Brady or Drew Brees, or is the team building towards becoming a contender so it can […]

2018 NFL Draft Class Preview - Wide Receivers (Part 1)

Similar to the RB position, there's still plenty of debate about who's at the top of the class for wide receivers and what the order is at the top. As we jump into the prospects, I want to give a preview of my general style of analysis. Based on the work done by Kevin Cole, I […]

Biggest Surprises of 2017 - Wide Receivers

The top players at the wide receiver position this year included some names that no one ever would have even came close to guessing. Antonio Brown as the number one WR in PPR leagues isn’t something that is too surprising for anyone, but some of the other names on this list were far from locks […]

Biggest Risers and Fallers of 2017 - Wide Receivers

So far we've looked at the biggest risers and fallers at both the quarterback and running back positions. This time we're looking at wide receivers who improved their stock or saw it plummet. Wide receiver scoring was down as a whole this season, which meant more fallers than usual. At the same time, some veteran […]

Biggest Surprises of 2017 - Quarterbacks

Quarterbacks tend to be some of the more undervalued commodities in fantasy football. For years owners have been punting the quarterback position in their redraft leagues. Dynasty leagues have owners moving breakout stars around when their value blows up, just to roll with a guy like Philip Rivers week in and week out. It makes […]

Biggest Breakouts at Quarterback - 2017 Year in Review

If you have to build a football team, start with the QB first. If you have to build a fantasy football team, you can do one of three things: Pick a surefire guy in the second or third round, confident that the player you picked will be a lock, worry about nothing else. Roll the […]

Jets Expected To Hire Rick Dennison

The New York Jets are expected to hire Bills former offensive coordinator Rick Dennison as their run-game coordinator/offensive line coach, according to a league source. The addition of Dennison for the Jets would be a positive development, as Buffalo was very successful on the ground in 2017 on their way to a playoff berth. However, […]

Josh McCown Wants To Keep Playing

New York Jets impending free-agent quarterback Josh McCown, who will be 39 in 2018, said he wants to continue playing. He said he'd also like to return to the Jets. "Right now, that's how it's looking," McCown said when asked if he 100 percent wants to play. "At this time of the year, I go […]

Biggest Risers and Fallers of 2017 - Quarterbacks

The quarterback position saw plenty of volatility in 2017, as 58 different quarterbacks started at least one game. And that's just for the Cleveland Browns... We saw a rookie sensation, some second-year ascents, and the possible beginning of the end for some established veterans. Then there was Old Faithful Tom Brady defying the odds yet again. […]

2018 NFL Draft Class Preview - Quarterbacks (Part 1)

Over the next few weeks, I'll be providing quick NFL Draft previews for 2018 fantasy-relevant prospects at the quarterback, running back, wide receiver, and tight end positions. As a general format, the previews will be in two parts, with the exception being tight end. Part one will feature previews on the highest projected draft picks […]

Jets Expected To Promote Jeremy Bates

The New York Jets are expected to promote quarterbacks coach Jeremy Bates to the offensive coordinator position, according to league sources. Bates did a great job with journeyman quarterback Josh McCown in 2017, and the team outperformed all expectations on offense with little talent. Bates deserves the promotion in New York, but he may be […]

Todd Haley, Jeremy Bates In Running For Jets Offensive Coordinator Position

With the New York Jets firing offensive coordinator John Morton on Wednesday, former Steelers offensive coordinator Todd Haley and Jets quarterbacks coach Jeremy Bates are two potential replacements. Bates would make sense from a continuity standpoint and the fact that journeyman quarterback Josh McCown played well for the Jets in 2017 before his late-season injury. […]

Jets Firing John Morton

The New York Jets will not retain offensive coordinator John Morton for the 2018 season. There has been consideration given to elevating quarterbacks coach Jeremy Bates to offensive coordinator, but sources say it's not a done deal. The Jets offense surprised many in 2017, from the emergence of wideout Robby Anderson to the surprising play […]

John Morton Staying With Jets

New York Jets offensive coordinator John Morton, who was rumored to be a candidate to join head coach Jon Gruden's staff in Oakland, will remain in New York as the offensive coordinator in 2018. Despite the Jets surprising with veteran Josh McCown under center for most of the year, they finished 28th in total offense […]

2017 Final Consistency Report - Tight Ends

I am a mixed bag of emotions because of the end of the 2017 season. I am excited for the NFL playoffs and a chance for the my hometown team, the Pittsburgh Steelers, to win their third Super Bowl in my lifetime. I am sad because the regular season is at an end and with […]

Jets Open To Trading Up For Quarterback

New York Jets general manager Mike Maccagnan said the team would be open to trading up in the 2018 NFL draft if they fall in love with a quarterback prospect and don't think he'll be available when they pick sixth overall. In his three years with Gang Green, Maccagnan has yet to trade up in […]

NFL Playoff Picks: Wild-Card Weekend

After one of the wildest Week 17's in recent memory and what felt like an extremely short season, we've finally made it to the playoffs. The AFC is very weak. The wild card teams have no shot at reaching the Super Bowl. The four division champs do. Over to the NFC, all six teams can […]

Jets Expect To Be Active In Free Agency

According to New York Jets general manager Mike Maccagnan, the team is set to be “very active” in free agency this offseason. It’s easy to say that now when there is $80 million in cap space currently available, plus the big cuts the team will make with players such as defensive end Muhammad Wilkerson. However, […]

Christian Hackenberg May Not Be Done In Green Yet

The New York Jets tried their best to hand their 2017 starting quarterback job to quarterback Christian Hackenberg, but Hackenberg proved last summer he is simply not an NFL quarterback (or backup). He was so bad, in fact, that the team didn’t even give the second-year pro any game action when starter Josh McCown went […]

Jets Open To Bringing Back Josh McCown

Quarterback Josh McCown was originally looked at as an afterthought on the New York Jets prior to the 2017 season with the team desperately doing whatever they could to hand the starting gig to Christian Hackenberg. With Hackenberg tripping over himself at every step, though, combined with McCown’s surprisingly solid play, McCown played himself into […]
