The New Orleans Saints offense was noticeably different in Week 3 with Teddy Bridgewater as the starting quarterback.

The New England Patriots are preparing to face a Buffalo Bills team that is also undefeated this weekend.

He’s got good speed, good power, and […]

The New York Giants have seemingly hit a new roadblock to their season as Saquon Barkley may be out for longer.

If there’s one NFL franchise that didn’t need more bad news, it’s the Miami Dolphins. Lo and behold, the Dolphins received more bad news.

The Detroit Lions have a big game coming up as they prepare to face the red-hot Kansas City Chiefs. However, they may have to play against such strong opposition without either defensive tackle Mike Daniels or wide receiver Danny Amendola on their roster. Josh Alper of Pro Football Talk reported that they were the only […]

The Kansas City Chiefs are quickly establishing themselves as one of the teams to look out for this season. The manner with which they won their games has some convinced that this Patrick Mahomes-led team can make a deep run in this year’s playoffs. Moreover, Detroit Lions head coach Matt Patricia is aware of the […]

The Chicago Bears were able to come away from their Monday Night Football matchup with the Washington Redskins with a 31-15 victory.

Mack ended up recording four total tackles to […]

The New Orleans Saints have so far chugged along just fine without star quarterback Drew Brees. However, they still want their man to return to the pocket as soon as possible. Brees is also itching to return to the field after injuring his thumb in Week 2 against the Los Angeles Rams. According to the […]

For the first time this year, the Minnesota Vikings will face the Chicago Bears. The division rivalry has heated up in recent years, with both teams becoming realistic NFC contenders. On Sunday, the Vikings will travel to the legendary Soldier Field, one of the biggest home field advantages in the NFL. Head coach Mike Zimmer […]

The Chicago Bears are 2-1, but anyone who has watched the Bears knows that it’s an ugly two wins. The root of the problems for Chicago has been quarterback Mitchell Trubisky. Trubisky has been hard to watch, and his coach, Matt Nagy seems to think so as well. A clip of Nagy laying into his […]

The New York Giants may have picked up their first win of the season behind an extraordinary effort from rookie quarterback Daniel Jones against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this past Sunday, but it wasn’t all lollipops and rainbows for the Giants.

The Oakland Raiders thought they would be going into the season with Antonio Brown leading their receiving corps.

The Green Bay Packers have a genuinely good defense. That’s a phrase that hasn’t been said in a couple of years, but it’s true. Brian Gutekunst did a great job of upgrading the personnel in the offseason, but a lot of credit has to go to defensive coordinator Mike Pettine. But Pettine outlined just how […]

The Dallas Cowboys seem to have an abundance of riches at running back. In addition to two-time rushing champion Ezekiel Elliott, rookie runner Tony Pollard has made a strong impression. After tallying 103 yards and a score in a Week 3 contest against the Miami Dolphins, the aforementioned Elliott had nothing but praise for Pollard […]

Cleveland Browns safety Damarious Randall has missed the last two games with what was said to be a concussion, but Randall is not confirming nor denying that that was the case. “No comment,’’ Randall said, according to Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer. “I was just placed in concussion protocol on Friday before […]

There are a few situations in the NFL that are extremely frustrating for Fantasy Football managers every year. The New England Patriots backfield is one of those. Running back Sony Michel is one of the biggest causes of this. Michel is technically the starting running back for the Pats, but he’s been on the bench […]

A bevy of fantasy football managers are celebrating, as Los Angeles Chargers running back Melvin Gordon is ending his holdout.  While this is bad news for everyone who has Austin Ekeler on their roster, anyone who has Gordon has an elite fantasy running back on their team. Gordon only played in 12 games in 2018, […]

Melvin Gordon has decided to end his hold out and return to the Los Angeles Chargers, and with the Chargers at 1-2 and in desperate need to turn things around, it seems like great timing. Gordon won’t be available for this Sunday against the Miami Dolphins (not that the Chargers should need him), but he […]

The Cleveland Browns travel to Baltimore on Sunday to take on the Ravens in a divisional matchup that features two teams trending in opposite directions. Cleveland and second-year quarterback Baker Mayfield have not lived up to expectations thus far, while the Ravens’ Lamar Jackson has led the team to 115 points over the first three […]

Jacksonville Jaguars cornerback Jalen Ramsey is leaving Jacksonville to be with his wife for the birth of his daughter, Jaguars head coach Doug Marrone said in a statement (via Adam Schefter of ESPN).

Anyone who has watched the dumpster fire that is Washington Redskins football has to be clamoring for a change.

Los Angeles Chargers running back Melvin Gordon has decided to end his hold out and report to the team, but he will not be playing in the Chargers’ Week 4 matchup against the Miami Dolphins, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Gordon had reportedly been seeking more than the $10 million per year that […]

Melvin Gordon has decided to end his hold out and report to the Los Angeles Chargers, and while he won’t be playing this weekend, his return will obviously have significant ramifications on the Chargers long term. Los Angeles has gotten off to a 1-2 start without him, so it will be certainly nice for the […]

After a strong Week 1 performance against the Carolina Panthers in which Todd Gurley rushed for 97 yards while averaging 6.9 yards per carry, the Los Angeles Rams running back has fallen off. He averaged just 3.9 yards on 16 attempts in Week 2, and this past Sunday, Gurley totaled just 43 yards on 14 […]

Los Angeles Rams cornerback Aqib Talib is notorious for a couple of things. One is being a lockdown cornerback, and the other is for on-field fighting. Cleveland Browns wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. was certainly aware of Talib’s past on-field extracurriculars. Odell Beckham Jr. to Aqib Talib on Sunday night: “I had to not wear […]

Melvin Gordon has been sitting out for quite some time now as he waited for a new contract from the Los Angeles Chargers. With talks moving forward, there was speculation that Gordon could sit out the entire season. That will not be the case. According to a report from Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network, […]

With how the Dallas Cowboys offense has looked this season, it seems like little can slow them down. Now with Kellen Moore running the offensive show and Dak Prescott looking better than ever, the Cowboys are proving they’re a real Super Bowl threat. The only thing that can stop Dallas would be the unpredictable injury […]

It has been an odd start for Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers. The Packers are 3-0, but their offense has not really taken off yet, as Rodgers has yet to even throw for 250 yards, and the team has yet to score 30 points. But the Packers have a legitimate chance of breaking through […]

The New Orleans Saints may be without Drew Brees for the foreseeable future, but that does not mean they are going to just lay down and accept defeat. Quite the contrary. After learning Brees would be out for six weeks with a thumb injury, the Saints responded by coming up with a pivotal road win […]

New England Patriots wide receiver Josh Gordon suffered a couple of injuries during his team’s win over the New York Jets on Sunday, first injuring his back in the first half before jamming his finger in the third quarter.

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 past weekend, the New Orleans Saints showed they are dangerous even without Drew Brees, as Teddy Bridgewater led the team to a 33-27 win over the Seattle Seahawks. Brees will likely be sidelined until November, so the Saints are going to have to manage without him until then, and this Sunday, New Orleans will […]

The Green Bay Packers have been one of the most impressive defensive units in the NFL just one season after ranking 18th in total defense.

However, Packers linebacker Za’Darius Smith has […]

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady was limited in practice ahead of his team’s game against the New York Jets last week due to a calf issue, and on Wednesday, he was only a partial participant again due to the same problem.

The Indianapolis Colts were supposed to be Super Bowl contenders this season. Fresh off a 10-6 campaign where they reached the AFC Divisional Round, the Colts had an extremely bright future given significant improvements made to the offensive line and a defensive unit that proved to be extremely staunch against the run last year. At […]

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.

New York Giants rookie quarterback Daniel Jones dazzled in his debut as a starter, leading his club to a 32-31 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this past Sunday.
