A quarter of the NFL’s 32 franchises brought fresh faces aboard in 2013 to lead their squads from the sidelines, with mixed results. Of the eight new coaches, three saw their teams make the postseason, with Bruce Arians’ Cardinals just missing the playoffs after a 10-6 slate. Gus Bradley’s Jaguars doubled their 2012 win total,…

Or if, as reported, Schwartz asked the players to carry him off, then…

Here we are in December, and the same statement I made one year ago is true today: While many fan bases and ownership groups are excited about the weeks to come, there are some who are closing the chapter on 2019 and looking into the future. We have already seen this with coaching moves in…
The Minnesota Vikings traveled to Los Angeles in Week 4 on a Thursday night to take on the Los Angeles Rams. An air show broke out. Kirk Cousins showcased his skills as a passer in the number eight game of 2018 when the Vikings faced the Green Bay Packers in week 2. The Vikings had…
An underrated aspect of the NFL Draft, I often talk about how very few players manifest as being what I call ‘scheme agnostic,’ players you would expect to go to any of the 32 cities and execute at the same level. In my experience, the vast majority of players fit better in some programs than…
Last year, Joseph Ferraiola wrote that “we’re thinking about quarterback ceilings all wrong,” poking holes in the conventional draft wisdom on QB projections. He re-examines this theory by looking at 2018 rookies Josh Rosen and Josh Allen and applies this lens to the 2019 class’ top signal-callers, Kyler Murray and Dwayne Haskins. When projecting NFL…

After a truly mesmerizing display on Monday Night Football, the offensive juggernauts in Los Angeles and Kansas City are on a bye this week. If you haven’t had a chance to look at the highlights, I suggest you get on that immediately. Within these highlights, you’ll see where the NFL, and by proxy fantasy football,…
After taking a sabbatical to cover the Brownsian fall of Hue Jackson, it’s back to fantasy football in Week 10. Last week saw a plethora of fantasy story-lines from Julio Jones’ first touchdown, to the potential emergence of total wildcard Nick Mullens, to the long awaited re-emergence of Duke Johnson.
