All four teams in the NFC North are over .500. The Green Bay Packers sit at the top at 4-1 while the Detroit Lions are 2-1-1. This will be the first meeting between these two teams who have a tendency of playing good games. Both teams have looked good to begin the season. This game […]

Who would have thought that in Week 6, the San Francisco 49ers would be atop the NFC West with a 4-0 record. The reigning NFC Champion Los Angeles Rams are currently in third at 3-2. The Rams fell to the Seattle Seahawks in Week 5 on a Greg Zuerlein missed field goal. The 49ers blew […]

The Cleveland Browns have been a complete disappointment so far in 2019. They came into the season with massive expectations and they have not lived up to the hype. After a big divisional win over the Baltimore Ravens, the Browns suffered a massive letdown on Monday night. They will be taking on the Seattle Seahawks […]

The Minnesota Vikings are the most confusing team in the NFL. When Kirk Cousins was signed, he was believed to be the missing link to a Super Bowl ready team. They missed the playoffs last season and Cousins is off to a bad start in 2019. Dalvin Cook has been most of the offense for […]

The New England Patriots and Tom Brady are rolling. They are 5-0 with wins over four teams in the bottom half of the league and they will face another on Thursday night. The New York Giants will travel to Foxborough with their rookie quarterback to take on the defending champs. Tom Brady is playing at […]

It has been a roller-coaster season for Lamar Jackson. The Baltimore Ravens drafted Jackson to be their franchise quarterback and this is his first season in that role. If you look at Jackson’s numbers, they are not terrible. He has thrown for 1,271 yards with 11 touchdowns and five interceptions. Those numbers are deceiving. Jackson […]

Daniel Jones had his second straight pedestrian game after an eye-opening debut. The rookie finished 21-for-38 for 182 yards with one touchdown and one interception against the Minnesota Vikings. That performance came in a 28-10 loss to the Vikings. The schedule does not get any easier for the New York Giants as they prepare to […]

The Atlanta Falcons have been one of the league’s biggest disappointments over the last two seasons. In 2018, they finished 7-9 and did not make the playoffs. This season, they are on the same pace. After a 53-32 loss to the Houston Texans, the Falcons sit at 1-4 and in last place in the NFC […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers have been full of drama and bad news for two seasons now. Le’Veon Bell sat out last season because of a contract dispute. Antonio Brown had a messy breakup with the Steelers before being traded to Oakland. Now, Pittsburgh sits at 1-4 and in third place in the AFC North. Ben Roethlisberger […]

New Orleans Saints quarterback Teddy Bridgewater was viewed highly when he was coming out of Louisville. He proved to be the real deal early on in his career in Minnesota. Bridgewater was a Pro Bowl quarterback who led the Vikings to a playoff appearance. He would have a playoff win under his belt if Blair […]

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston has been an interception waiting to happen since he entered the league. He has thrown double-digit interceptions in every season since he was drafted. That trend continued in Week 1, where he was picked off three times. Since that performance, Winston has eight touchdowns and two interceptions. That includes […]

There was no draft pick that received more backlash in recent history than when the New York Giants selected Daniel Jones with the sixth overall pick. He became the starter in Week 3 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and had a near flawless debut. There was hope in New York once again thanks to Jones’ […]

The Seattle Seahawks drafted DK Metcalf in the second round of April’s draft. Viewed as one of the best receiving prospects, Metcalf fell to Seattle and it was viewed as a steal. So far, the Seahawks have not used the rookie that much. Metcalf had four catches in his debut but his production has dropped […]

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins signed a three-year, $84 million fully guaranteed contract before last season. He received criticism for not making the playoffs, but he has his best statistical season. Through four games in 2019, Cousins deserves all the criticism he has received. The Minnesota Vikings are 2-2 after an ugly 16-6 loss to […]

After eight years in Green Bay and one Pro Bowl, Randall Cobb will play his first game against his former team. Cobb will suit up for the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday and he will be an essential part of their offense. The Cowboys scored just 10 points in a losing effort against the New Orleans […]

If a player spends a lot of time with one team, there comes a time where they must make a decision. That decision is whether to retire or keep their career going and join another team. That decision came in the offseason for Clay Matthews after spending 10 years with the Green Bay Packers. Matthews […]

The Dallas Cowboys got shut down on Sunday night against the New Orleans Saints. They were held to 10 points and could not get their offense going all night. This was their first loss after opening up the season against three easy opponents. They will not face their second straight test in the Green Bay […]

The Green Bay Packers defense got exposed in Week 4 against the Philadelphia Eagles. They blew a lead at home in this game and allowed the Eagles to run all over them. The Packers are allowing 142.2 rushing yards per game through four games. There are few teams that run the ball better than the […]

After the 2018 season that ended with a Super Bowl loss for the Los Angeles Rams, they could not have envisioned a start like this for their franchise quarterback. Despite the 2-1 record, Jared Goff has struggled. Goff has thrown six touchdowns and six interceptions in four games. This includes a three-interception performance in Week […]

After a Week 3 win over the Denver Broncos, Davante Adams was unhappy with his four-catch, 56-yard performance. Aaron Rodgers made sure to target him against the Philadelphia Eagles. Adams finished with 10 catches on 15 targets for 180 yards. Adams left the game in the fourth quarter with a toe injury and did not […]

The most surprising game of the week took place in Los Angeles on Sunday. The Los Angeles Rams took on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and suffered a 55-40 loss. This dropped the reigning NFC Champions to 3-1 on the season. Jared Goff finished 45-68 for 517 yards in the loss. He threw two touchdowns and […]

The schedule could not have worked out better for the New York Giants and their rookie quarterback. Daniel Jones was able to play his first two games against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Washington Redskins. After a near perfect debut, Jones took a visible step back against the Redskins. Jones finished 23-for-31 for 225 yards […]

The Cleveland Browns entered Week 4 with a chip on their shoulder and they played like it. After a Sunday night loss to the Los Angeles Rams, the Browns were written off. Many believed that they were headed for 1-3 with a division game against the Baltimore Ravens coming up. The Browns marched into Baltimore […]

This could be the week that Parris Campbell bursts onto the scene in the NFL. Campbell was drafted in the second round of the 2019 NFL Draft by the Indianapolis Colts. Through his first three games as a pro, Campbell has just five catches for 37 yards and a touchdown. With the Colts preparing to […]

This is something that is not said often but the New England Patriots and Buffalo Bills are tied atop the AFC East. Both teams are 3-0 entering their first matchup of the season. Neither team has faced quality competition yet. The Patriots have three wins over teams that are a combined 0-9. The Bills opponents […]

This was the year for the Indianapolis Colts. They felt good about their team entering the season and were in line to make some serious noise. Those plans were put on hold when Andrew Luck announced that he was retiring from football. While the world buzzed over Luck’s decision, the Colts felt good about their […]

One of the best matchups of the early season is between the Green Bay Packers and the Philadelphia Eagles. This game is slated for primetime on Thursday night. Through three weeks, the fortune of these teams were unexpected. The Packers have won their first three games and are playing outstanding defense. The Eagles have lost […]

The Carolina Panthers were in desperate need of a spark after an 0-2 start. Cam Newton was inaccurate as usual through the first two games. The offensive line was not playing well and aside from Christian McCaffrey, no one on the team was. Before the Panthers took on the Arizona Cardinals, they announced that Newton […]

When a team loses their starting quarterback, they usually do not have a former Pro Bowl player as a backup. For the New Orleans Saints, that is their reality. When Drew Brees went down with an injury, they handed the job to Teddy Bridgewater. Bridgewater picked up an impressive win in his first start of […]

Is it hard to make judgments of the Green Bay Packers early on. Matt LaFleur is undefeated so far as a head coach, but he is hard to predict. He seems determined to give Aaron Jones and Jamaal Williams an equal opportunity. For Fantasy Football owners, this is frustrating because Jones is clearly the better […]

The new-look Pittsburgh Steelers are now completely in play. There is no more Antonio Brown. JuJu Smith-Schuster is now the No. 1 receiver. Ben Roethlisberger is out for the season with an injury so it is officially Mason Rudolph time. Finally, James Conner had a breakout campaign in 2018 replacing Le’Veon Bell. This season, Conner […]

Baker Mayfield was supposed to be the next big thing in the NFL. The Cleveland Browns were seen as a much improved team and Mayfield had preseason MVP aspirations. All of that has been put on hold with the Browns at 1-2 and Mayfield not playing well whatsoever. Right now, many Fantasy Football owners are […]

The Seattle Seahawks had an enormous chance to go 3-0 with a win over the Drew Brees-less New Orleans Saints. Instead, they fell behind early and were not able to climb back in. They now sit at 2-1 preparing to take on a mediocre Arizona Cardinals’ team. Right now, the Seahawks are not the perfect […]

From Jared Cook to Darren Waller. In 2018, Cook totaled 68 catches for 896 yards and six touchdowns for the Oakland Raiders. Cook is now in New Orleans and the Raiders seem to have a new star tight end. Waller began his career with the Baltimore Ravens where he was not used that often. Last […]

New York is buzzing over Daniel Jones. This is nothing new, but for once, it is a positive buzz full of belief. Jones led the New York Giants to a 32-31 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in his first career start. Jones orchestrated a fourth quarter touchdown drive with the Giants trailing 31-25. That […]

Fantasy Football owners, if your patience is not running low on Duke Johnson, then it will be very soon. When Lamar Miller went down with a torn ACL before the season, many believed that the Houston Texans would turn to Johnson for the bulk of the work. Johnson spent the first four years of his […]

If you do not know who Marquez Valdes-Scantling is, you will soon. He is the new budding star of the Green Bay Packers. Valdes-Scantling was drafted in the fifth round of the 2018 NFL Draft by Green Bay. He played his college ball at N.C. State and South Florida. In his rookie season, Valdes-Scantling finished […]

Breaking news: The New England Patriots are really good again. Tom Brady and Bill Belichick have this team looking better than ever three weeks into the regular season. The Patriots have not been challenged yet. Their first three opponents have a combined record of 0-9, but it is the nature of how New England is […]

The Green Bay Packers keep on winning. For the first time in a while, there is a defense in Green Bay to pair with Aaron Rodgers on offense. The former MVP quarterback has not looked like himself yet this season, but he has led the Packers to three wins in three tries. The Packers welcomed […]
