It’s that time of year again when fantasy football drafts are being held across the country. Every year, there are a handful of tight ends that are worth drafting in the early rounds. If you don’t land one of them, it’s usually best to wait until very late in your draft to take a tight […]

Dallas Cowboys fans were holding their breath last week when news surfaced that Pro Bowl wide receiver CeeDee Lamb injured his foot away from the team.

The Panthers were dealt a massive blow last week when rookie quarterback Matt Corral suffered a season-ending Lisfranc tear to his foot in Carolina’s 20-10 loss to the New England Patriots. The injury to the Ole Miss product was so severe that Corral underwent surgery on Tuesday to fix the Lisfranc tear, according to NFL […]

Quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo’s time with the San Francisco 49ers could finally be coming to an end. The team fully transitioned to second-year quarterback Trey Lance this offseason.

The NFL season is right around the corner and each team has set its sights on making the necessary roster adjustments ahead of this.

Now, with Jared Goff under center, the Lions will try to break the streak of not winning a playoff game since […]

The Tennessee Titans had a strong 2021 regular season. The team clinched the AFC South and finished No. 1 in the AFC.

Without winning a playoff game since 2019, Tennessee might have to […]

The Green Bay Packers are in the process of widdling down the squad ahead of final 53-man roster cuts. In doing so, the Packers managed to get a bit of value back for a player who didn’t figure to play a big role in 2022. According to ESPN’s Rob Demovsky, the Packers have agreed to […]

The Carolina Panthers are hoping for a turnaround in 2022. Matt Rhule’s squad started out strong at 3-0, but quickly fell apart to finish 5-12.

Carolina’s biggest move this offseason was […]

The Seattle Seahawks don’t figure to be contenders in 2022. That’s putting it nicely, which is something CBS Sports NFL analyst Adam Schein didn’t care to do when divulging his thoughts on Pete Carroll’s team ahead of the 2022 campaign. During a Tuesday morning segment of Time to Schein on CBS, Schein ruthlessly roasted the Seahawks, […]

Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell recently shared an interesting quote. Many people in this world want to come off as intelligent.

Though most of their starters did not play, the New York Jets’ 24-16 preseason win against the Atlanta Falcons on Monday was still important for the coaches to assess players on the bubble, whether that be positioning on the depth chart or battling for a roster spot. The Jets did not play 15 of their […]

The Washington Commanders are heading into the 2022 season with a lot of excitement. They may finally have a consistent option at quarterback in Carson Wentz, and they have an up-and-coming defense that should only continue to improve in 2022. One of the guys who figures to play a big role in their defense for […]

There do not seem to be high expectations surrounding the Chicago Bears this year. The franchise went 6-11 last season and underwent a great deal of turnover in the offseason.

Following two straight AFC East titles, the Bills enter the new campaign as favorites for their first Lombardi Trophy. Even with the season just […]

The Las Vegas Raiders have been spotless through three games in the 2022 NFL preseason, but that’s not going to make head coach Josh McDaniels feel as though he’s got it all figured out. After all, the Raiders have barely played their starters in those games. A good test for the Raiders is coming up, […]

Despite neither being directly affiliated with the NFL right now, UFC president Dana White and ex-Buccaneers and Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski sent shockwaves among football circles recently.

The 2022 NFL season is viewed as a make-or-break campaign for New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones, so he is going to need the best from the team’s receiving corps.

The 2022 season will feature a new-look Green Bay Packers team. Star quarterback Aaron Rodgers is back after questions about his future lingered early on in the offseason, but his top target Davante Adams is gone.

It’s been two years now since Julian Edelman decided that it was time for him to walk away from football for good as a player. But like many athletes who retired before him, there is always that itch to come back and see whether he’s still got what it takes to make an impact on […]

For every team each preseason, a surprise player seemingly comes out of nowhere to either push for a roster spot or even make their way onto the 53-man roster entering the regular season. Lil’Jordan Humphrey is that player for the New England Patriots this preseason. The fourth-year wide receiver has stood out in both of New […]

Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals are gearing up for their defense of the AFC crown. One of the biggest pieces of last season’s puzzle was star safety Jessie Bates, who has thus far been away from the team as training camp and preseason are underway. Jessie Bates was designated as the Bengals’ franchise tag […]

The Atlanta Falcons had a forgettable Monday, thanks to a disastrous performance on the field that resulted in a 24-16 road loss to the New York Jets. While it’s just a preseason game, the Falcons failed to provide an overall positive impression on head coach Arthur Smith, who did not hold back when he spoke about […]

It was a rather interesting offseason for the Las Vegas Raiders. The Silver and Black started off free agency by doing virtually nothing.
