The 2018 Atlanta Falcons were a Jekyll and Hyde team. On offense, they were among the league's best in moving the ball (sixth in total yards) but on defense, they could not stop anyone (25th in 26.4 PPG allowed). Matt Ryan rebounded in a big way from a poor 2017 (4,923 yards with 38 total […]

Last season, the Washington Redskins drafted Derrius Guice and hopes were high that the former LSU running back could be the long term answer for a team that had gone through a revolving door of backs since Alfred Morris went to Dallas after the 2015 season.

NFL Draft 32 for 32 - San Francisco 49ers Outlook
