Xavier Gipson In Open Competition For Return Job

New York Jets head coach Robert Saleh said wide receiver Xavier Gipson still has "first dibs" on the kick-return job this year, but that it's also an "open competition" involving former Pro Bowl return man Tarik Cohen. Saleh said the soon-to-be-signed running back is an "explosive playmaker" and remembers it being "a nightmare" trying to […]

Fantasy Football Rookie Spotlight: Jordan Travis

In his final season at Florida State, Jordan Travis had the Seminoles undefeated before suffering a season-ending leg injury. It was a sad end to the college career of a player who'd gotten better year after year. Travis wasn't one of the more hyped quarterback prospects in this season's draft class, but he showed enough […]

Tyler Conklin A Potential Riser In 2024

New York Jets tight end Tyler Conklin caught 61 passes for 621 yards last season while primarily catching passes from Zach Wilson. All things considered, it was a decent year, but the New York offense was one of the worst units in the league, and Conklin failed to catch a touchdown. Jets reporter Connor Hughes […]

Braelon Allen The Early Favorite For RB2 Role

New York Jets rookie running back Braelon Allen is the early favorite to be Breece Hall's primary backup in 2024, according to Zack Rosenblatt of the Athletic. "He's known for his ability in pass protection but also flashed as a receiver on Wednesday, getting open against linebackers in coverage." Rosenblatt wrote. "He showed some shiftiness […]

Malachi Corley Injured At OTAs

New York Jets rookie wide receiver Malachi Corley (undisclosed) left organized team activities on Wednesday with a trainer with an undisclosed injury. Corley later returned but was walking with a limp and didn't have his helmet with him. It doesn't appear to be a very serious injury, but the Jets will probably play it safe […]

No Timeline For Mike Williams

New York Jets wide receiver Mike Williams (knee) has been rehabbing, and head coach Robert Saleh said he is progressing and looks good. However, Saleh told reporters on Wednesday at organized team activities that he doesn't have a timeline on Williams' return to practice. Williams suffered a torn left ACL in Week 3 last year […]

Breece Hall Working In Rehab Area At OTAs

New York Jets running back Breece Hall (undisclosed) is working in the rehab area during organized team activities this week. It's unclear what type of injury Hall is dealing with or when he suffered it, but it doesn't sound very serious and it shouldn't negatively impact his fantasy value as the 2024 season approaches this […]

Jets Sign Tarik Cohen

The New York Jets signed free-agent running back Tarik Cohen to an undisclosed one-year deal on Wednesday, according to a source. Cohen was one of the league's top return specialists and a receiving threat with the Chicago Bears before serious injuries derailed his career. He last played in the NFL in 2020 but will not […]

Fantasy Football RB Committees Not to Avoid in 2024

Workhorse running backs are out and running back committees are in. The NFL has shifted to a committee approach to preserve running backs throughout the season from the rigors of modern-day athletes. Of course for fantasy football, running back committees dilute the potential for points. On the flip side, NFL teams have grown very efficient […]

Fantasy Football Wide Receivers You Must Draft in 2024 - Part II

In 2024, fantasy football managers are all about wide receivers, but we’re also about value. With prices skyrocketing everywhere else, we don’t want to pay above market value for a player. We also don’t want to pay for a player at the cost of their 90th-percentile outcome. We need the potential to get a positive […]

Garrett Wilson vs. Puka Nacua - Who Should I Draft in 2024 Fantasy Football?

The talent is unquestioned; however, the situations since being drafted have heavily varied in the early careers of Garrett Wilson and Puka Nacua.  Both receivers are in the consensus top 10 among fantasy wideouts in early ADP. One has proven to have WR1 production in 2023, while the other’s potential has been slowed by no […]

Aaron Rodgers vs. Deshaun Watson - Who Should I Draft in 2024 Fantasy Football?

Fantasy football drafts are right around the corner, which means managers are starting to do their research. With voluntary OTAs currently going on, we are one step closer to draft season.

List of Current NFL Head Coaches (Updated 2024)

Being an NFL head coach is like wearing several caps at once. They have to get the most out of the team built by the front office, hoping the players will become Pro Bowlers or All-Pros. Likewise, they must handle tough questions from the media, especially after a loss. They must answer with class and, if […]

Fantasy Football Wide Receiver Winners From the 2024 NFL Offseason

The first two articles in this series focused on the offseason's quarterback and running-back winners. This series has focused more on quick-hitting analysis than in-depth statistical breakdowns; that trend will continue here with the receiver group. With the increasing popularity of three-receiver sets and higher passing volume in the NFL, the receiver position has a […]

Fantasy Football Dynasty Price Check - Christian Watson (2024)

Christian Watson had a very slow start to his NFL career early on in the 2022 season, struggling with injuries and drawing the ire of Aaron Rodgers in his NFL debut. However, Watson went off from Week 10 onward, averaging 65.4 yards per game and finishing as the overall WR4 (standard format) during that span. […]

For context, the correlation plummets to 0.004 for picks 11-32, with a slightly better correlation (0.131) to PPR/G for Rounds 5-7 at […]

Sauce Gardner Could Cover Opponent's No. 1 Receiver

New York Jets head coach Robert Saleh said it's a "possibility" that cornerback Sauce Gardner will travel with the opposing team's No. 1 wide receiver this year. It wouldn't be an exclusive setup, though, but it could happen more than it did last year. Gardner has quickly become of the better lock-down corners in the […]

Mike Williams Not Cleared For Football Activities

New York Jets wide receiver Mike Williams (knee) is not cleared yet for football activities and was seen working off to the side during organized team activities on Tuesday. It shouldn't be much of a surprise after Williams suffered a season-ending torn left ACL while playing for the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 3 in […]

Aaron Rodgers Doing Everything At OTAs

New York Jets head coach Robert Saleh said that quarterback Aaron Rodgers (Achilles) is doing everything at organized team activities this week and has no restrictions. This was the expectation all along after Rodgers was practicing with the team late last season despite tearing his Achilles in Week 1 of 2023, but it's nice to […]

Is Elijah Mitchell or Isaac Guerendo the RB2 for the 49ers?

The San Francisco 49ers offense has been a hotbed for fantasy production during head coach Kyle Shanahan's tenure, so even backups are on the fantasy radar every season. Star running back Christian McCaffrey has remained healthy during his 49ers career to this point, but he played in just 10 games in his final two full […]

Projecting All 32 Starting Running Backs In Week 1 - 2024 NFL Outlook

The running back position has been devalued over the last few seasons.
