Baker Mayfield is out of the drama in Ohio and now hopes he can redeem himself in Charlotte, North Carolina.

His completion rate (61.6) […]

Chicago Bears QB Justin Fields could be a whole lot of something or a whole load of nothing. Fields had a 2-8 record with the Chicago Bears in his rookie campaign and threw ten more interceptions than touchdowns (7). He had weaknesses in his completion percentage (58.9) and yards per throw attempt (6.9), but he […]

Chase Claypool was supposed to have a breakout second season in the NFL, but that was limited by Ben Roethlisberger’s inability to consistently throw downfield last year. Over the final four weeks of the season, Claypool led the Pittsburgh Steelers in air yards with a share of 27 percent. If the Steelers can get improved […]

Despite being the fifth quarterback selected in the 2021 NFL Draft, Mac Jones probably had the best season out of all rookies for the position. The No. 10 pick was the only rookie quarterback to lead a team to a winning record and a playoff appearance. He became a Pro Bowler in just his first […]

A wide receiver by trade, Patterson was often used a gadget player, but that never allowed for […]

In the 2021 NFL Draft, the San Francisco 49ers picked Trey Lance third overall. Some have compared him to Lamar Jackson, but Lance lacks his top-end speed and arm power.

In the past two years, Tua Tagovailoa has been quite disappointing. The fifth overall pick of the 2020 NFL Draft has not proven to be the Miami Dolphins’ franchise guy and his fantasy football stock is much worse. He is in for a massive year three, but whether that is good or bad is up […]

The Seattle Seahawks are going to look much different on offense heading into the 2022 season, thanks in large part to Russell Wilson getting traded to the Denver Broncos this offseason.

The Philadelphia Eagles revamped their offense this offseason around their young quarterback Jalen Hurts.
