Curtis Martin. Corey Dillon. LeGarrette Blount. James White. Kevin Faulk.

Seen as a pocket […]

A report surfaced on Tuesday that Dallas Cowboys players have been bashing head coach Mike McCarthy and his coaching staff behind their backs.

New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell, in partnership with the New Orleans Saints, has agreed to a phased and deliberate pilot approach allowing fans to attend Saints home games in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter. The Saints will be allowed to have fans this Sunday when the team hosts the Carolina Panthers in an […]

From a pure football perspective, Tom Brady’s decision to leave the New England Patriots for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers is looking pretty smart. The new-look Buccaneers are 4-2, fresh off an impressive 38-10 trouncing of the Green Bay Packers on Sunday. New England, meanwhile, has stumbled to a sloppy 2-3 start and has lost two […]

Odell Beckham Jr. is without question one of the best wide receivers in the NFL, but his prime is being wasted on the Cleveland Browns since the team has a below-average quarterback throwing him the ball in Baker Mayfield. In 22 games with the Browns since his trade from the New York Giants, Beckham has […]

The Carolina Panthers have done a solid job of staying afloat without running back Christian McCaffrey in the mix. Fortunately, it appears the centerpiece of their offense is nearing a return. McCaffrey has been sidelined since Week 2 with an ankle sprain. According to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, the team is targeting a return in […]

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers has had a rivalry with Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh for pretty much his whole career since Suh and Rodgers had plenty of battles when the defensive tackle was with the Detroit Lions. In Week 6 during the Packers-Buccaneers game, Rodgers and Suh started jawing with each […]

Wide receiver John Ross has asked the Cincinnati Bengals for a trade, per Mike Garafolo of NFL Network. Ross is on the last year of his rookie deal and hasn’t been playing much of late.

The Los Angeles Chargers are well on their way to missing the playoffs again in 2020, but they may have found their new franchise quarterback in Justin Herbert in the post-Philip Rivers era, which could mean head coach Anthony Lynn won’t get fired. According to Jeremy Fowler and Dan Graziano of ESPN, the Chargers organization […]

After a stand-out performance as part of a dominant win over the Jacksonville Jaguars, Detroit Lions rookie running back D’Andre Swift is at the top of most fantasy football Week 6 recap pages.

The Chicago Bears are off to a 5-1 start, which seems to have solidified job security for both head coach Matt Nagy and general manager Ryan Pace. Jeremy Fowler and Dan Graziano of ESPN report that, despite the quarterback calamity, both Nagy and Pace are likely to get at least one more year in Chicago: […]

The Dallas Cowboys made a big change this past offseason when they fired longtime head coach Jason Garrett and replaced him with Mike McCarthy. The former Super Bowl winner was supposed to finally bring the best out of the talented team after years of disappointment. Instead, the Cowboys have started 2-4 in 2020, and it doesn’t […]

We’re xis weeks into the 2020 NFL season, and the New York Jets are the only winless team in the NFL. The Jets are coming off a deflating 24-0 loss to the Miami Dolphins on Sunday to fall to 0-6, their worst start since 1996.  Other teams that have struggled this season like the Houston […]

The Houston Texans are a franchise in transition after firing former head coach and general manager Bill O’Brien. While interim head coach Romeo Crennel is likely to ride out the rest of the season, the Texans will soon need a full-time hire. Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Bienemy made noise as a potential head […]

The Atlanta Falcons got in the win column this past weekend in their first game without Dan Quinn as head coach. However, there are those around the league who wonder whether Atlanta might still shop some of its top players before the Nov. 3 trade deadline. Jeremy Fowler of ESPN reported insiders believe the Falcons […]

First-round pick Tua Tagovailoa was named the team’s starting quarterback on Tuesday morning, and Dolphins fans will get a more extended glimpse of its franchise signal-caller after Tua played in the final minutes of this past Sunday’s game.

It seemed that not everyone in the Miami Dolphins organization was rightfully informed about the recent quarterback change.

One Dolphins player conveyed he hasn't been […]

The offensive line for the Dallas Cowboys was dealt with another gaping hole as All-Pro right guard Zack Martin recently suffered a concussion in their Week 6 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals. He prematurely left Monday’s game in the first half with a concussion and did not return afterward, according to the team’s website. He […]

The atmosphere for NFL games is a little more subdued this season, thanks to a pandemic that has, among other things, deprived NFL stadiums from being packed with amped fans at the time of kick-off (well, unless you’re in Jacksonville — that looks pretty much the same). Yet, despite the scaled-back production of NFL games […]

New Kansas City Chiefs running back Le’Veon Bell is already hyped as he comes close to joining his new team in the coming days. He was also all eyes as the reigning Super Bowl champions blasted the Buffalo Bills in their Week 6 matchup en route to a 26-17 victory. The three-time Pro Bowler took […]

Washington Football Team has seen a youth movement in recent years. The situation has thrusted outside linebacker Ryan Kerrigan as the team’s designated grizzled veteran. The 1o-year pro is also the franchise’s all-time leader in sacks but has recently seen a diminished role on the field for Washington. The former Purdue Boilermaker played a career-low […]

With the New England Patriots set to face off against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 7, the matchup presents an opportunity for Pats head coach Bill Belichick to rekindle an old flame with 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo, who Belichick himself coached for three seasons in New England as a backup to the great Tom […]

Budda Baker was all over the field for the Arizona Cardinals on Monday night versus the Dallas Cowboys, catching the eye of his head coach.

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Andy Dalton made his debut as a starter for the team in their Week 6 tilt against the Arizona Cardinals. However, his first game was an embarrassing 38-10 defeat that everybody on the Cowboys would love to forget. The TCU product was sacked three times and pressured eight times by the Cardinals, […]

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Gardner Minshew did not exactly have his best performance of the season in his team’s 34-16, Week 6 loss against the Detroit Lions. While the 24-year-old hasn’t been terrible throughout the season, he hasn’t really been very good as well. This is exactly why Jaguars coach Doug Marrone was asked about the […]

Week 6 of the 2020 NFL season did not produce those huge breakouts from unknown players as previous weeks have, making this week’s waiver wire pickups a bit tougher to predict. In what felt like a very ho-hum week of football with no real breakout outliers, fantasy football did not end up having that kind […]

The Dallas Cowboys were trounced by the Arizona Cardinals on Monday night, causing many people to put the blame on Andy Dalton. Despite Dalton not having a great game, Ezekiel Elliott took the blame for Dallas’ lopsided loss to the Cardinals. “I don’t think we can use that as an excuse,” Elliott said of playing […]

Running back Le’Veon Bell’s arrival to the Kansas City Chiefs will serve as added competition for rookie rusher Clyde Edwards-Helaire.

The Chicago Bears won their fifth game of the season on Sunday, as they defeated the Carolina Panthers 23-16.

Things aren’t looking great for the Dallas Cowboys and first-year head coach Mike McCarthy.

Los Angeles Rams coach Sean McVay isn’t pressing the panic button after their tough loss against the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday night in Week 6 of the NFL. The 24-16 defeat against their division rival served as a sort of wake-up call for the Rams before the season reaches its halfway point. But the […]
