Things change quickly in the Not For Long league. One thing that will never change is our constant quest to bring you the latest […]

Running Back Stat Sleepers - Missed Tackles Forced

Plunging into the world of football analytics is without question a great way to find fantasy sleepers for the coming season. Especially in the case of running backs, considering overall elusiveness is arguably the best way to determine how good (or bad) a player's performance was. And that's what this is all about. I will […]

Caleb Farley Signs Rookie Contract

The Tennessee Titans and cornerback Caleb Farley agreed on a four-year, $13.495 million fully guaranteed contract on Thursday.

Doctors said that the 22-year-old should be ready for […]

Surprising Winners from the NFL Draft - Tight End

This wasn’t a particularly strong draft class at the tight end. Out of 259 prospects drafted in the 2021 NFL draft, just 11 of them play the tight end position. There were only five positions that had fewer players taken over the course of seven rounds, and three of those positions were kicker, fullback, and […]

Surprising Winners from the NFL Draft - Wide Receivers

The NFL Draft has come and gone, so we now have a complete picture of each team's plans on offense. While we'll still see some player movement before the season begins, aside from an Aaron Rodgers or Zach Ertz trade, there won't be anything that really moves the needle. There were some surprising decisions in the draft where […]

Early 2021 Running Back Sleepers

Even with the NFL being a passing league these days, running backs still rule the roost in fantasy football. You cannot win a fantasy football league without a decent pair of high-caliber running backs, and many times you need three above-average backs to win thanks to injuries, bye weeks, COVID outbreaks, and because you can […]

Rashad Weaver Charged With Assault In April

Tennessee Titans rookie defensive end Rashad Weaver, the team's fourth-round pick last Saturday, was charged last Friday with one count of simple assault in connection with an incident in April in Pittsburgh.

Titans Won't Exercise Rashaan Evans' Fifth-Year Option

The Tennessee Titans informed Drew Rosenhaus, the agent for linebacker Rashaan Evans, that they will not be exercising his fifth-year option for the 2022 season "due to ongoing salary cap uncertainty and instead hope to sign Rashaan to a contract extension before his current deal expires in 2022." Adding another season to his contract would […]

They Took Who??? The Most Confusing NFL Draft Picks

Every year, the NFL holds a draft, and every year during that draft, 32 NFL teams make decisions that will positively impact the team going forward. But every year, some teams also make decisions that are...confusing. Confounding. Puzzling. Whatever adjective you want to use, teams make decisions that leave us, the outsiders watching the draft, […]

The 2021 NFL Draft finished up on Saturday, with the final four rounds taking place.

Titans Take LSU Receiver Racey McMath

With the 205th pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Tennessee Titans have selected LSU wide receiver Racey McMath.

Titans Draft Dez Fitzpatrick

With the 109th pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Tennessee Titans have selected Louisville wide receiver Dez Fitzpatrick.

Brown are Josh Reynolds and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, […]

Titans Take Elijah Molden With 100th Overall Pick

The Tennessee Titans selected Washington cornerback Elijah Molden with the No. 100 overall pick in the third round of the 2021 NFL draft on Friday night.

Titans Go With Monty Rice Late In Third Round

The Tennessee Titans selected Georgia linebacker Monty Rice with the No. 92 overall pick in the third round of the 2021 NFL draft on Friday night. Rice has great instincts at the position and plenty of technique and durability to make a name for himself in the NFL. In nine games in his senior season […]

Titans Select Tackle Dillon Radunz

With the 53rd pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Tennessee Titans have selected North Dakota State offensive tackle Dillon Radunz. Coming from the FCS level, Radunz will have a lot of work to do to adjust to the size of NFL pass rushers, but he's a tough player who should be able to crack […]

For example, heading into 2021, […]
