The Arizona Cardinals were routed by the Los Angeles Rams by a score of 34-7 last Sunday, a loss that eliminated them from playoff contention. The fact that they were officially bounced from postseason contention was bad enough, but it was the way that the Cardinals lost that has rookie quarterback Kyler Murray stewing. “It’s […]

The most important weeks in Fantasy Football are upon us. Some of you are already in the midst of a playoff matchup, while others still fight for one of the last playoff spots available in their respective leagues. Either way, you’ll need to make some tough lineup decisions. There are plenty of tough decisions at […]

5-7 is not where the Cleveland Browns expected to be heading into Week 14 of the 2019 NFL season. The team has been the definition of an underachiever, dropping games they had no business losing, and now, shy of an incredibly unlikely multi-team parlay for the remainder of the season, Cleveland is out of the […]

The Detroit Lions have been without quarterback Matthew Stafford for the past four weeks due to a back injury, one that is expected to sideline Stafford for the remainder of the season. The good news is that Stafford says the back issue is healing “as it should” and that he should be just fine for […]

Heading into a Week 12 matchup with the New York Jets, the Oakland Raiders seemed prime to make a push for the second AFC Wild Card spot. But the Raiders enter Week 14 as just another 6-6 football team after dropping two consecutive contests, one of which was a crucial game against the division rival […]

For the first 10 weeks of the 2019 NFL season, Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley’s role was limited. He didn’t carry the ball 20 times in any individual game once during that stretch, and his production suffered, as he averaged less than four yards per carry in five of his first six contests. […]

Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick is the definition of an NFL journeyman. The 37-year-old has spent time with eight different franchises since entering the league back in 2005, and while his results have been mostly unspectacular (which is the reason why he is a journeyman), he has had some shining moments. Take last Sunday against […]

If you can believe it, the 2019 NFL regular season is coming to a close.  That means the Fantasy Football season is also coming to a close. We are entering Week 14, and while much is left to be decided, there isn’t much time for it to occur. There are just four games left, and […]

The San Francisco 49ers have suspended broadcaster Tim Ryan for comments he made about the skin color of Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson this past Monday, according to Matthias Gafni and Lauren Hernandez of The San Francisco Chronicle.

Oakland Raiders running back Josh Jacobs has been putting on a show during his rookie year. He’s a front-runner for the Offensive Rookie of the Year award and the clear focal point of the Raiders offense. However, according to Paul Gutierrez of ESPN, Jacobs has been playing on a fractured right shoulder ever since Week […]

The NFC West is one of the toughest divisions in the NFL. Coming into the 2019 season, the expectation was that the reigning NFC champion Los Angeles Rams would retake the division. Instead, it’s been a two-team race between the Seattle Seahawks and the San Francisco 49ers. While the Niners ride an excellent defense to […]

Seattle Seahawks defensive end Jadeveon Clowney has been dealing with a core muscle injury. Still, it did not prevent him from participating in his team’s win over the Minnesota Vikings this past Monday. As for Clowney’s status moving forward? Head coach Pete Carroll was optimistic on Wednesday: “(He’s) pretty good,” Carroll said, according to Joe […]

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson has not only been the most exciting player in the NFL this season, but he is also a leading MVP candidate. So it should come as no surprise that Jackson is also leading Pro-Bowl voting heading into Week 14, per NFL Communications. Jackson has earned 447,481 votes, well ahead of […]

We already knew about Baker Mayfield’s hand injury, as the Cleveland Browns quarterback injured his throwing hand after hitting it on the facemask of Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Bud Dupree during the Browns’ Week 13 loss this past Sunday. However, Mayfield’s hand isn’t his only problem. Not surprisingly, Mayfield popped up on Cleveland’s injury report on […]

A consensus brewing around the league is that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers won’t be bringing Jameis Winston back after the 2019 season. Bucs head coach Bruce Arians isn’t dropping any hints. When asked whether or not Winston will be the starting quarterback after 2019, Arians offered a coy response: “I’m gonna pass on that one,” […]

In December 2014, Michigan hired Jim Harbaugh to take over the football program and take them back to the promised land. Sitting here in 2019, the Wolverines are still waiting. In four years prior to 2019, Harbaugh has won 10 games three times. He has yet to win a Big 10 Championship Game, he has […]

The Buffalo Bills are 9-3 and currently working on a three-game winning streak. In Week 14, they square off with one of their toughest competitors yet, the Baltimore Ravens. Baltimore is 10-2 and on a winning streak of their own. That winning streak currently sits at eight games. On the year, the Bills have faced […]

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray was listed as questionable for his team’s Week 13 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams due to a hamstring injury, and judging by his performance during the game, there is a chance his hamstring may have been an issue. But it doesn’t appear that Murray will be compromised any longer. […]

On Tuesday, the Carolina Panthers fired long-time head coach Ron Rivera. Luke Kuechly, who spent eight years with Rivera after being drafted in the first round in 2012, did not mince words on losing Rivera. Kuechly spent four minutes, on Wednesday, discussing what the loss of Rivera meant to him. He was emotional. “I’m sure […]

The Minnesota Vikings are one of the best teams in the NFC. They are currently 8-4 and in the second Wild Card spot in the conference. It has been said that a team is only as good as their record but that is not the case for the Vikings. This is a team that can […]

The XFL is back. On Dec. 3, the new rendition of the once-failed NFL alternative debuted their new uniforms. Unfortunately, they aren’t any Maniax involved, nor is there one featuring a “He Hate Me” nameplate. Here are all the new uniforms and helmets for each team. D.C. Defenders Ready for battle.#DefendTheDMV🛡 pic.twitter.com/UPysPBEUOv — D.C. Defenders […]

The Oakland Raiders have quickly fallen back down to Earth. After winning three games in a row to get to 6-4, they have lost their last two games by a combined score of 74-12. They were demolished by the New York Jets and the Kansas City Chiefs. In those two games, their No. 1 receiver […]

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. has been dealing with a groin issue for much of the season, and the injury made him a limited participant in practice on Wednesday, according to Nate Ulrich of The Akron Beacon Journal. This shouldn’t be too alarming for Browns fans, as Beckham has been limited in practice […]

The Indianapolis Colts find themselves barely hanging on to playoff hopes heading into Week 14. With four games left in the season, the Colts are 6-6.

The Ronald Jones experiment has not exactly worked out well in Tampa Bay.

Jones came […]

The Washington Redskins are looking to get a winning streak going on the road against the Green Bay Packers in Week 14. They are hoping that linebacker Ryan Kerrigan will be available to help them out. Kerrigan was forced to sit out of the 29-21 win over the Carolina Panthers in Week 13 while dealing […]

Antonio Brown probably won’t be joining anyone for the remainder of 2019, but this offseason, the wide receiver will almost surely have some suitors interested in his services. We know the deal with Brown. He carries a ton of risk due to his off-the-field problems and his tendency to disrupt the locker room, but on […]

The Washington Redskins fired head coach Jay Gruden early in the season after an abysmal start. In his place, Bill Callahan took over as the interim head coach. While he has picked up three wins, things still aren’t going all that great for the 3-9 Redskins. Due to that, it’s safe to assume that Washington […]

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson is in the midst of a historic 2019 NFL season as the MVP frontrunner. Perhaps even more impressive is how beloved he is by his fellow teammates. Jackson committed a costly fumble against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 13. Regardless, his teammates were there to pick him right back […]

Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield is dealing with an injury to his throwing hand, but that won’t stop him from playing in his team’s game against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday. “Mama didn’t raise a wuss,” Mayfield said when asked if he is confident he will be able to suit up in Week 14, according […]

The Minnesota Vikings’ defense gave up 37 points in a seven-point loss to the Seattle Seahawks this past Monday, and cornerback Xavier Rhodes was a big part of the problem.
