fantasy football team is 0-0 https://www.brownsfanshop.com/Austin-Corbett-Jersey , filled with optimism about the teams they've drafted. Daily fantasy players are peering through every stat in hopes of being the next big-money winner at one of the popular sites.The new season is just about here, but the Week 1 Start/Sit begins now.START: Russell Wilson, QB, Seahawks: Wilson begins the season at home against a Bengals team that ranked 29th in fantasy points allowed per game to opposing quarterbacks. The addition of rookie WR D.K. Metcalf gives Wilson an ideal option when he chooses to dial it up. Wilson was second in the league with a 46.7% completion rate when throwing the deep ball.SIT: Matt Ryan, QB, Falcons: Atlanta worked hard in the offseason to upgrade an offensive line that ranked 25th in protection rate. Ryan was sacked 42 times last season and opens the season on the road against a Vikings defense that finished third in fantasy points allowed to opposing passers.START: Kerryon Johnson, RB, Lions: The second-year pro, considered a potential fantasy breakout, opens the season against the worst run defense in fantasy football. Opposing teams averaged 136.4 yards and 1.3 touchdowns per game in 2018 against Arizona, along with a near 80% completion rate allowed to running backs.SIT: Duke Johnson, RB, Texans: Carlos Hyde will cut into his carries, plus the Saints were fourth in fewest fantasy points allowed per game to opposing backs, giving up just 17.15 per game. Despite leading the league with 7.1 yards per touch last season, Johnson will be limited behind a Texans line that remains suspect even with the addition of LT Laremy Tunsil from the Dolphins last weekend.START: Dede Westbrook, WR Nick Chubb Jersey , Jaguars: No team allowed more receiving yards last season than the Chiefs. Westbrook accounted for 27.1% of the team's receiving yards and touchdowns in 2018, a number that could zoom up with the addition of quarterback Nick Foles. The third-year wideout is primed for a huge season, and facing KC's secondary is a splendid springboard to begin on.SIT: Curtis Samuel, WR, Panthers: A popular mid-round selection in most fantasy drafts, Samuel will likely be shadowed by Rams CB Aqib Talib. Opposing quarterbacks managed a 53.8 rating when throwing against Talib last season. Despite being 34, Talib can still make life miserable for receivers.START: Evan Engram, TE, Giants: Engram averaged 80 yards per game in the final four weeks of 2018 and will see his target share of 16.9% climb up now that he will be featured in the offense. The Cowboys will have fits containing Engram once he has the ball, as he ranked third among all TEs with 377 yards after the catch.SIT: David Njoku, TE, Browns: Only Jarvis Landry had a higher team target share than Njoku's 16.9% last season, but Njkou had a disappointing 63.6% catch rate and was nearly invisible (inside the red zone with only eight targets). Not only does Njkou have to contend with a Titans defense that ranked third in fewest fantasy points per game to opposing TEs, but he also has to jockey for targets now that Odell Beckham Jr. is in the lineup.START: Courtland Sutton, WR, Broncos: Sutton has good upside as a possible WR3/Flex going against a Raiders defense that allowed 30.26 fantasy points per game to opposing receivers last season. His 16.8 yards per catch ranked 11th among receivers, yet what makes Sutton intriguing is that only seven other receivers had a higher end zone target rate than Sutton's 39.8% last season. Entering his second season Chad Thomas Color Rush Jersey , Sutton has the potential to help quarterback Joe Flacco along with becoming a go-to target in Denver's passing game.SIT: Dak Prescott, QB, Cowboys: Any hopes of Prescott becoming more pass happy ended early Wednesday morning when RB Ezekiel Elliott agreed on a six-year, $90 million contract extension. The Cowboys were just 19th in pass plays (36.4 per game) last season, and that number will likely hold up now that Dallas now has its workhorse in the backfield.START: Case Keenum, QB, Redskins: For all the Super Bowl hype surrounding the Eagles, the same secondary that ranked 30th in fantasy points allowed to opposing receivers returns. Keenum will likely be playing catch-up, so it wouldn't be surprising if he went north of 40 passes, which means he could rack up a solid yardage total along with a couple of touchdowns.SIT: Kallen Ballage, RB: Dolphins: The second-year back has potential but must deal with a Ravens defense that was second only to the Bears in fewest fantasy points allowed to opposing running backs. Ballage will have to share touches with Kenyan Drake, plus he's a strong candidate for having the defensive line stacked. Defenses averaged 6.3 players at the line when Ballage was in the backfield last season, and with a mediocre passing game, Ballage's "flex" appeal is greatly stunted.START: Jared Cook, TE, Saints: The Texans were 31st in fantasy points per game allowed to opposing TEs, and with much of their focus going to RB Alvin Kamara and WR Michael Thomas https://www.brownsfanshop.com/Antonio-Callaway-Jersey , Cook, who finished fifth among TEs in fantasy points per game last season, should thrive in the middle of the field and in the red zone.SIT: Tyler Boyd, WR, Bengals: Boyd is now the WR1 in Cincinnati now that A.J. Green is out for an extended period. The Seahawks were a modest 17th in pass defense last season, but were 10th in fewest fantasy points allowed to opposing quarterbacks. If Andy Dalton is struggling, that means Boyd is as well.This column was provided to The Associated Press by SportsGrid Inc., www.sportsgrid.com Trent Richardson was a major bust in the NFL, and since then he’s tried to resurrect his career with short stints in the Canadian Football League and Alliance of American Football. And he’s not done.Richardson is now trying to make it to the XFL, and after a recent tryout he said he’s committed to getting another chance in professional football.“Keep showing myself and my kids that I’ll never give up and I’ll always follow my dream,” Richardson said. “I guess you can say I have a chip on my shoulder.”It’s probably too late for Richardson to revive his disappointing NFL career, which means he’ll always be remembered as a third overall draft pick who managed to average just 3.3 yards per carry. But it’s respectable that he wants to keep trying. When the XFL launches in January, Richardson will probably be lined up at running back for some team, still showing that he’s not going to give up on playing professional football.

already has made huge headlines by being moved out of Mexico City because of poor playing conditions. Chiefs-Rams is back in Los Angeles Nyheim Hines Color Rush Jersey , in prime time and, if it lives up to its billing, could be a wild, high-scoring affair.Regardless of who wins, both clubs figure to be in the Super Bowl mix. And because of the extracurriculars associated with Monday night’s meeting, perhaps it won’t be a fair measurement which is the superior team.Who cares?For a mid-November match, fans can’t ask for much better than a pair of 9-1 teams with powerhouse offenses and stars galore — leading MVP contenders Todd Gurley of Los Angeles and Patrick Mahomes of Kansas City for starters — going at it as the only show in town. No matter which town.It’s the first meeting in NFL history this late in a season between two teams averaging 33 points per game.“He’s made some plays that you sit back and you can’t help but just say, ‘Wow, what a great play,'” Rams coach Sean McVay says of Mahomes, who leads the NFL in yards passing (3,150). Rams QB Jared Goff is second (3,134).Mahomes set a Chiefs record with an NFL-best 31st TD pass of the season last week. Len Dawson had held that KC record since 1964.Gurley paces the NFL in scoring (108 points), yards rushing (988), carries (198), yards from scrimmage (1,390) and touchdowns (17). He has scored a touchdown in 13 consecutive games, extending his own franchise record.“He is a heck of a player. A great player,” Chiefs coach Andy Reid says when asked how to slow Gurley. “You have to be disciplined. They’re a disciplined offense, so you have to be disciplined from a defensive standpoint. Then practice that way and then you go play.”OK, guys https://www.coltsfanshop.com/Johnny-Unitas-Jersey , go play. Let America watch what could be a classic.The weekend began Thursday night with Seattle’s 27-24 home victory over Green Bay. Russell Wilson threw for 225 yards and his 15-yard touchdown pass to Ed Dickson with 5:08 left was the difference. Seattle (5-5) snapped a two-game losing streak. Green Bay dropped to 4-5-1.Off this week are New England (7-3), the New York Jets (3-7), Miami (5-5), Cleveland (3-6-1), San Francisco (2-8) and Buffalo (3-7).MINNESOTA (5-3-1) at CHICAGO (6-3)We soon will find out if the Bears are for real. They are on top of the NFC North, now face the defending division winners, then in a ridiculously short turnaround from Sunday night, they play the early Thanksgiving Day game at Detroit. They also have the Rams and Packers on the road in December.Two of the NFL’s stingiest and most physical defenses should be main factors Sunday.Minnesota has allowed an average of only 252.5 yards over last four games, winning three. It did so missing some starters. Safety Harrison Smith likes seeing the Bears: Smith has four interceptions and six passes defended in 10 career games vs. Chicago.Chicago dropped 10 in a row against the NFC North before beating Detroit last Sunday. It leads the NFL with 16 interceptions, and ranks second with 24 takeaways.HOUSTON (6-3) at WASHINGTON (6-3)Two also-rans of 2017 now leading their divisions.The Texans have won six in a row and come off a bye. Key personnel such as DE J.J. Watt and QB Deshaun Watson were injured last year and are now playing at peak efficiency.If Watson gets time to throw — Houston has surrendered 30 sacks — DeAndre Hopkins will be the biggest challenge to cover. He has four games with 10-plus catches, 100-plus yards and a touchdown through the air. That’s most in the league since the start of 2017, and Hopkins has five TD catches over the past four games. .Washington has showed some balance on offense, but the defense has been a major factor in its strong year. It has forced a turnover in 13 consecutive games, the NFL’s longest active streak.TENNESSEE (5-4) at INDIANAPOLIS (4-5)Suddenly, there’s a race in the AFC South, and the Colts could get even more involved with a fourth consecutive victory. But the Titans, coming off their best game by far in an upset of the Patriots, have won six straight within the division.Of course, Andrew Luck was not in the lineup for any of those; Luck is 9-0 in starts against Tennessee.“I’m aware of it,” Luck says. “But what’s happened has happened, and good Jacoby Brissett Jersey , bad or ugly, it doesn’t really matter.”The Titans have the league’s No. 1 scoring defense, allowing 16.8 points a game, and have yielded a league-low 16 touchdowns.PHILADELPHIA (4-5) at NEW ORLEANS (8-1)New Orleans looks like the NFL’s top team right now, and the Eagles don’t resemble their title-winning squad of last season.Injuries are damaging Philly’s defense at a really bad time. A banged-up secondary takes on Drew Brees and his assortment of helpers. The Saints have scored at least 40 points in five games this season, the third team in NFL history to score 40 in five of the first nine. Brees is completing 77.1 percent of his passes, has thrown for 21 TDs with one interception, and has a 123.8 passer rating.Michael Thomas is tied for the NFL lead with 78 catches, ranks second with 950 yards, while Alvin Kamara and Mark Ingram form a formidable and versatile backfield.PITTSBURGH (6-2-1) at JACKSONVILLE (3-6)The Steelers will be wise to look forward and not back at their last encounter with the Jaguars. Jacksonville beat Pittsburgh twice last season, including a 45-42 playoff shocker at Heinz Field.Thinking revenge would be foolish because the Steelers are on a roll. Well, so are the Jags: Pittsburgh has won five in a row, Jacksonville has dropped that many consecutively.Steelers running back James Conner has not allowed the team to regret the contract impasse that has led to Le’Veon Bell sitting out the season. Conner is the eighth player in team history with at least 10 rushing touchdowns, leads the AFC in rushing, and is expected to play after being placed in concussion protocol following last week’s win over Carolina.CINCINNATI (5-4) at BALTIMORE (4-5)Cincinnati brings a historically leaky defense to Baltimore, which might be without regular quarterback Joe Flacco (hip). That would mean either first-round pick Lamar Jackson or veteran Robert Griffin III will try to further expose that Bengals unit.The Bengals have won eight of the last 10 in the series, but they fired first-year defensive coordinator Teryl Austin after a 51-14 loss to the Saints, the second-most points allowed in franchise history. They became the first team in the Super Bowl era to give up 500 yards in three straight games and are on pace to give up an NFL-record 7,273 yards.Head coach Marvin Lewis takes over defensive coordinator duties, too.DALLAS (4-5) at ATLANTA (4-5)The Falcons appeared ready to take a role in the playoff race with three successive wins. Then, they put forth a stinker at Cleveland.Meanwhile Reggie Wayne Color Rush Jersey , the Cowboys seemed headed toward irrelevance before they went into Philadelphia and outplayed the Super Bowl champions.Dallas will want to run with Zeke Elliott, who’s second in the NFL in rushing behind Gurley after gaining 151 yards against the Eagles. Atlanta will want to throw: Matt Ryan has seven games with a QB rating over 100 and six games with more than 300 yards passing, while Julio Jones became the fastest player in NFL history with more than 10,000 yards receiving.CAROLINA (6-3) at DETROIT (3-6)Both teams would like to forget last week’s poor performances.Carolina leads this infrequent series 6-2 and remains in good position in the wild-card race with a victory. Detroit needs an immediate turnaround to get into contention.If this is close, expect Cam Newton and Co. to win. Since 2013, the Panthers are 26-14 in games decided by seven points or fewer. They have won five straight games decided by three or fewer.Newton has thrown at least two TD passes in eight straight games, the longest streak in franchise history.DENVER (3-6) at LOS ANGELES CHARGERS (7-2)While the Rams grab the headlines in LA, the Chargers keep grabbing victories. They could get help in the AFC West if their neighbors knock off KC, too.The Chargers are a league-best 13-3 since Week 9 of last season. Their six-game winning streak marks the 11th time since the merger they had a streak of six or more. Philip Rivers has thrown for two or more TDs in nine straight games. Only five quarterbacks in league history have a string of 10 or more games.TAMPA BAY (3-6) at NEW YORK GIANTS (2-7)Saturday’s Notre Dame-Syracuse matchup in the New York area figures to be more fun than this, although the Bucs usually pile up the yards in passing offense and the Giants come off a stirring Eli Manning-led comeback win.Tampa has lost three in row and six of seven, while New York broke a five-game slide on Monday night. Bucs wideouts Mike Evans (13 catches for 217 yards and a TD in two games) and DeSean Jackson (five touchdowns in the last six games) have feasted on the Giants’ defense.OAKLAND (1-8) at ARIZONA (2-7)The lowest-ranked teams in the AP Pro32 face off with the Cardinals coming off a solid effort at Kansas City. The Raiders? They seem to have fallen into the Black Hole, outscored 54-9 in the last two games.Cardinals star Larry Fitzgerald needs eight receptions to surpass Jerry Rice for the most catches for one team. The decision by the Indianapolis Colts to place a waiver claim on kicker Chase McLaughlin on Wednesday seemed to indicate that things were not quite right with veteran kicker Adam Vinatieri.Vinatieri was listed on the team’s injury report on Wednesday with a knee injury amid a down season for the legendary kicker. Vinatieri has converted just 17 of 25 field goal attempts this season and missed six of 28 extra point attempts as well.According to a report from the NFL Network, Vinatieri had an MRI on his knee on Wednesday night and is scheduled to meet with the team’s front office on Thursday morning about the plan of action for him moving forward.At the very least it would seem as though Vinatieri’s status for this Sunday’s game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers is in question. With the addition of McLaughlin, who converted 15 of his 16 kicks in three games for the San Francisco 49ers, the Colts will have a kicker at the ready to take Vinatieri’s place.However, carrying two kickers on the roster for a significant length of time is problematic as well. If Vinatieri’s knee will force him to miss multiple games, the team may need to put him on injured reserve and bring his 24th season to an abrupt end. And with Vinatieri’s rough season at age 46, it may end up becoming the end of an incredible career as well.

GREEN BAY Lane Taylor Jersey White , Wis. 鈥?Matt LaFleur has been named head coach of the Green Bay Packers, the team announced Tuesday night, confirming multiple reports from a day earlier.More Packers coveragePackers at Bears to open 2019 scheduleTop Tweets: Brewers make hilarious ‘Mean Girls’ parody videoMatthews signs with Rams after 10 years with PackersPackers re-sign tight end Marcedes LewisTop Tweets: Nikola Mirotic loves being a Milwaukee BuckThe 39-year-old LaFleur spent this season as offensive coordinator of the Tennessee Titans, his first calling plays in the NFL. Before that, he was offensive coordinator for the Los Angeles Rams in 2017, helping direct a high-powered offense with coach Sean McVay calling plays.LaFleur takes over for Mike McCarthy, who was fired during the season following a stunning home loss to Arizona on Dec. 2. Joe Philbin went 2-2 as Green Bay’s interim coach. LaFleur will be charged with returning the Packers to the playoffs after the team slipped into mediocrity in McCarthy’s final two seasons and the coach’s relationship with quarterback Aaron Rodgers grew tenuous.“We are very excited to welcome Matt as the next head coach of the Green Bay Packers,” team president Mark Murphy said in a statement. “We found a coach with the background and experience that we think will get us back to playing winning football. We’re also excited about the person 鈥?he is bright with a great work ethic and a perfect fit for Green Bay and the organization.”LaFleur’s 10 years of NFL coaching experience also include stints as an assistant with Atlanta, Washington and Houston.He will be introduced at a news conference Wednesday in Green Bay. Matt LaFleur isn’t bringing the Air Raid to Green Bay. For all the excitement over his modern concepts and background coaching with the league’s most gifted offensive minds, the “newness” of it doesn’t mean the Green Bay Packers will line up with four receivers and a back out of an empty set in shotgun every play.In fact, quite the opposite. LaFleur coached quarterbacks on the 2016 Falcons team that put together one of the great offensive seasons of recent vintage. They played two or fewer receivers on 61% of their snaps, yet they were so efficient that Matt Ryan won the MVP and Atlanta put up nearly 34 points per game Tramon Williams Jersey , easily the best in the league that season. Julio Jones, a talented duo of running backs and a versatile H-back allowed the LaFleur and Kyle Shanahan offense to play that way, but it’s where this offensive structure really shines. They use traditional personnel to create mismatches and angles with defenses in base. On the flip side, Sean McVay (another coach with whom LaFleur worked) can run so effectively in part because he plays almost exclusively in 11 personnel with three receivers, forcing the defense to play smaller. Unlike McCarthy, who often telegraphed playcalls with personnel and formation, this offense flips that idea on its head, actively working against type and tendency. For example, the Falcons played with two tight ends on 20% of plays, but were successful on 59% of those plays, the best rate in the league that season according to Sharp Football Stats. (For an explanation of success rate, go to this site.) That success rate jumped to 63% when throwing out of that formation Paul Hornung Jersey White , with a passer rating of 132.6. In other words, Atlanta took a formation generally regarded as a run formation, and found outstanding success throwing the ball out of it. This is working against tendencies and type in the NFL. When LaFleur became the offensive coordinator of the Rams the following season, he brought that success in 12 personnel with him. Los Angeles led the league in success rate with two tight ends, and even bested Atlanta’s success rate at 60%. When they threw in those situations, Jared Goff’s passer rating soared above 122. It’s likely not a coincidence LaFleur’s Titans team used two tight ends even more often than the Rams and Falcons had when he was there: he saw the value of creating matchup advantages against traditional defensive personnel. Most NFL teams go small to force defenses to adjust. But with a well-designed play, the advantage a capable receiving running back or tight end has against a linebacker is much greater than the average slot receiver has against an extra cornerback or safety.For fans who aren’t sure why the Packers wanted to keep Jimmy Graham, start here. The Packers will likely spend much more time with two tight ends on the field than they did last year, and much fewer with three or more receivers. In fact, the Titans played with two or fewer receivers last season 56% of the time. Part of that could be the guys they had, but the Falcons had talent at receiver past Julio Jones and still chose to play big. Reduce the need to add receivers in the offseason, fortify the tight end position in the draft http://www.packerslockerroom.com/authentic-dave-robinson-jersey , particularly with someone who can block, and this offense will take shape. Given the learning curve with young right ends—the position is widely considered among the most difficult to maser early on in the NFL—bringing back a capable blocker like Marcedes Lewis to go with Graham makes good sense for the Packers. Two tight end sets aren’t the only way to play big and provide an offense with matchup advantages using traditional player groupings. Last season, the Titans led the league in success rate with two running backs and two receivers on the field, what we call 21 personnel. They were successful 69% of the time, a pretty nice clip if you ask David Bakhtiari. It just so happens that two-back sets, whether a fullback and a running back or simply two running backs, were a preferred formation for that Falcons team as well. Atlanta ran 30% of their plays from it, their second-most used grouping, and also led the league in success rate. For the Packers, LaFleur could put Aaron Jones and Jamaal Williams on the field at the same time (this is where someone like Ty Montgomery would have been extremely valuable), particularly with Williams skill as a blocker. They could also decide to invest in a pass-catching back in free agency or the draft to allow them to play multiple running backs who can line up wide and catch passes. This could also presage a return of the fullback in Green Bay. **Kuuuuuuuhhhhnnnnnn** Danny Vitale has outstanding physical tools. Brian Gutekunst may also look to the draft for an H-back type, one of the reasons so many fans are agitating for Iowa star T.J. Hockenson in the first round. There’s a chance he can be what Kyle Juszczyk was as a versatile blocker and receiver http://www.packerslockerroom.com/authentic-j_mon-moore-jersey , plus having the skill to split out wide like Austin Hooper for those Falcons teams. LaFleur isn’t bringing back the 2011 Packers sets with five wide and guys who can beat you everywhere. That was a unique situation given an incredible run of drafting by Ted Thompson. But don’t forget, that team often used a full-house backfield to keep linebackers on the field and take deep shots off play action with Jordy Nelson. That part of the ‘11 offense will be back in force.We can’t look at LaFleur’s past and make a one-for-one comparison to what he’ll do in Green Bay. The players are different. The situation is different. The quarterback is importantly different. He uses three-receiver sets more than Kyle Shanahan but far less than Sean McVay. He uses two-back sets more than McVay, but far less than Shanahan. How much of that was driven by the Titans’ personnel? We won’t know for sure until this team plays. But his past, and the offensive philosophy he brings, thrives on a particular type of matchup creation, utilizing tight ends and running backs to keep a defense guessing. That type of creative thinking had been sorely lacking under Mike McCarthy and, while this offense often won’t look “new” when it lines up, what happens next will keep defenses and fans on their toes.

final four teams in the postseason http://www.jetslockerroom.com/authentic-darron-lee-jersey , so no more mad scramble to the waiver wire.There are fewer owners vying for players, especially in leagues that only allow playoff teams to make additions.Plus, the majority of your starting lineup is likely set by now. Still, injuries and other situations can always cause you to dip into your depth. In leagues with three wide receiver slots, your third starter may not be a sure thing. There are still existing and potential needs that will exist, so keep working the waiver wire. KENNETH DIXON, RB, Ravens (2.7 percent owned): Just when fantasy owners were starting to get comfortable with Gus Edwards, Dixon returned from a long knee injury layoff and started cutting into Edwards' workload in a significant way in his second game back. Dixon had 59 rushing yards on eight carries and scored the team's only rushing touchdown. John Harbaugh said he also expects Dixon's role to grow. So he is a prime waiver add in case he usurps Edwards as the main fantasy producer. He could at least become a potential flex option for Week 16 with another quality outing.ELIJAH MCGUIRE, RB, Jets (11.3): A toe injury forced Isaiah Crowell out against Buffalo and the versatile sparkplug McGuire stepped in and totaled 83 yards from scrimmage and rushed for a TD. McGuire is not only speedy Jamison Crowder Jersey , he is physical and has the frame to fight for extra yardage at 5-10, 214 pounds. He could be the most talented RB on the Jets roster and has been an internal favorite for some time. If Crowell continues to miss time or is limited, McGuire has some upside.JOHN KELLY, RB, Rams (3.7): If you won despite Todd Gurley's disappointing Week 14 performance, you still need his direct handcuff in case he suffers an injury. Malcolm Brown is done for the season because of a clavicle injury, and now the rookie sixth-round pick is Gurley's apparent backup. Kelly flashed nifty moves and speed during the preseason and will likely become Los Angeles' lead runner in case of a Gurley injury.DANTE PETTIS, WR, 49ers (19.6): He was added in 17.3 percent of leagues last week, but he is still widely available and you have to check to see if he's on your waiver list. Pettis has scored four times in the past three games and has become the top playmaker in the 49ers passing game outside of George Kittle. This week he faces the Seahawks, who he burned for 129 yards and two scores in Week 14. Pettis had a 75-yard catch and run for a score in that matchup. You can instantly use him as a WR3.TIM PATRICK Womens Leonard Williams Jersey , WR, Broncos (0.6): He was a surprise as a featured target for Case Keenum in his first game without Emmanuel Sanders. Patrick was targeted 10 times, catching seven for 85 yards. He seemed to be Keenum's preferred target on many key passing downs. With another good outing this week, you may consider him for championship game usage against the Raiders in Week 16.ROBERT FOSTER, WR, Bills (1.2): Most fantasy players don't want to roster any Buffalo pass-catchers, especially during the playoffs. But dynamic rookie Josh Allen doesn't give up on any play and is always willing to throw to make things happen. Foster has become a frequent target for Allen in important situations and has made a quick leap from the practice squad to actual fantasy relevancy. Since Week 10 he has three 90-plus yard games and two 100-yard outings. If you remain desperate for WR help you have to consider Foster as a waiver add. He's an undrafted rookie, but the numbers are there.IAN THOMAS, TE, Panthers (25.5): Rookie tight ends have historically been huge gambles and often disappointments, but with Greg Olsen out http://www.jetslockerroom.com/authentic-doug-middleton-jersey , Thomas has fit nicely into the Carolina passing game in the past two weeks, He has caught 14 passes during that span with nine catches for 77 yards in Week 14. At the ultra-thin TE position, he becomes an immediate add, and may be the most sought-after waiver candidate of Week 14. Cam Newton was looking for him often as the Panthers tried to stay with the Browns in an ultimate loss last week, and he will likely continue to make him part of the regular offensive flow. He was targeted 11 times against Cleveland. The New York Jets will enter the 2019 season with a new coach, a new General Manager, new uniforms, and now a new team president.Neil Glat exited last week; the team has announced that senior V.P. and general counsel Hymie Elhai will become the new president.The 43-year-old Elhai joined the Jets in 2000, as an intern. He became the manager of legal affairs and business development in 2002.“For over 20 years Hymie has developed a deep level of respect from both sides of the building,” Jets CEO Christopher Johnson said in a press release. “Over that time, he has grown to be an invaluable and trusted confidant for many Brian Poole Jersey , including, in recent years, myself. Specifically, I witnessed first-hand, his leadership, communication and organizational acumen during our recent head coach and General Manager searches. I expect Hymie to be a key unifier, working alongside Adam [Gase] and Joe [Douglas], for our organization moving forward.”The Jets also have announced that Brian Friedman has been promoted from Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer to Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer.Glat remains with the team. He will become a Senior Adviser.

to fight multiple health issues. As of Tuesday Nate Solder Jerseys 2019 , the news was somewhat positive.Lorenzen’s family issued the following statement to Matt Jones of Kentucky Sports Radio: “Jared’s overnight was uneventful and that is a good thing. He remains on dialysis. He continues to maintain his ground. His cardiac and renal issues remain, however his treatment has been effective. Jared is still very sick, but developing some traction and remains a fighter. The entire family thanks you for your support and prayers.”Lorenzen first went to the hospital last Friday, where he quickly landed in ICU with heart and kidney issues, along with an infection.The 38-year-old former Kentucky quarterback, a native of Covington, spent three years with the Giants, appearing in four career games and throwing eight NFL passes. Pictured with Eli Manning and Kevin Gilbride at Super Bowl XLII, Lorenzen was a member of the 2007 team that won the championship and kept the Patriots from going 19-0.Lorenzen disclosed in 2017 that his weight had spiked to 500 pounds. He was working at the time to inspire children to make good choices when it comes to food and exercise.Giants news, 8/15: Curtis Riley making bid for starting safety spot Good morning White Kareem Martin Jerseys , New York Giants fans! Let’s check the headlines as the Giants and Detroit Lions get set for Day 2 of joint practices.Curtis Riley making push for starting safety job At the start of training camp, the Giants were rotating Curtis Riley, Darian Thompson, Andrew Adams and Michael Thomas at free safety. Over time, it has become apparent that the competition for the starting spot is really between Thompson and Riley.Right now, it’s a one-horse race.With Riley nursing a hamstring injury last week, Thompson got to start vs. the Cleveland Browns. He didn’t play particularly well, and he is now on the shelf with his own hamstring injury. Riley is back, working with the first team, and a strong showing Friday against the Detroit Lions could cement his spot as the starter.“I just got to keep being consistent Kareem Martin Jerseys 2019 , doing everything I’m doing right now,” Riley said on Tuesday. “Got to make sure I’m making all the right calls; I can’t go out there having technical errors and stuff like that. Just got to be consistent, that’s the main thing.”An undrafted player, Riley spent two years as a reserve cornerback with the Tennessee Titans. He came to the Giants this season, and they moved him to the safety spot. He impressed in the spring, and now has a golden opportunity in front of him.“I’ve never seen something like it, never been a part of it, never heard of it,” Riley said of the four-way free safety competition. “But it’s good, though. It’s a good thing to always have competition Youth Kyle Lauletta Jerseys , that’s what the NFL is about. We got to come every day and compete, because if I show up and I’m on a roller coaster of being good or bad and being down one day, that’s not good, because that could lead to a big play. I got to make sure I’m consistent every day. We’re all battling, they’re making sure they are consistent every day, and we leave it up to the coaches and the upstairs (football decision-makers).”A good performance this week by Riley could put the competition to rest.Shurmur: Beckham “did great”Odell Beckham Jr. participated extensively in team and individual drills on Monday.“He did great,” Shurmur said. “You’ve watched him all summer here, competing at practice. If you create the same setting, it’s just against a different team, then you’re just out there practicing Kyle Lauletta Jerseys Stitched , and that’s what he did.”Wayne Gallman: “Competition makes you better”Second-year running back Wayne Gallman is looking for a role in a backfield that will include No. 2 overall pick Saquon Barkley and an accomplished veteran in Jonathan Stewart. Shurmur said Tuesday that he is “gaining an appreciation for what he is as a runner, a pass catcher, and a blocker.”Gallman is just trying to get better.“The competition makes you better,” he said. “You want competition regardless of the fact even if you were the starter and everyone down the list weren’t going to start at any time, but still you want that competition in terms of being a better player for yourself. Also, you want that competition because you know you’re going to have competition throughout the year and wanting to be the best running back corps in the league.”Injury listOLB Connor Barwin (soreness), running back Saquon Barkley (hamstring), cornerback Donte Deayon (hamstring), tight end Ryan O’Malley (ankle), linebacker Thurston Armbrister (hamstring) Corey Ballentine Jersey Boys , and wide receiver Travis Rudolph (quad) did not practice Monday.Around the Inter-GooglePFF's Preseason Week 1 NFL Team of the Week | NFL Analysis | Pro Football FocusPFF's NFL Team of the Week highlights the outstanding play of individuals at every position over the course of the first full week of preseason action in the NFL.2018 Play of the Week – Rookie Preseason Edition | Football Beyond The StatsGame: 3 Various Plays (Cle/NYG, LAR/Bal, Min/Den) Play: Rookies finding their movement ways early What makes this the BTS Play of the Week?

Womens Marwin Evans Jersey , leading to another mock draft with Jachai Polite and T.J. Hockenson in the first round."Entering the 2019 offseason, the Green Bay Packers have several obvious needs. That has led to many similar-looking mock drafts, including the latest from SB Nation’s Dan Kadar. Both of the packs Kadar projects for Green Bay involve positions and players that readers have come to expect.Matching the Packers with LSU’s Jachai Polite makes plenty of sense. The defense needs to generate more pressure off the edges and Polite could slide into Mike Pettine’s scheme and make an instant impact. Pass rushers with Polite’s profile tend to hit, so the team would only need to clear him off the field to minimize risk.The Packers need to revamp their tight-end group this offseason (more on that later this week), and landing a prospect like T.J. Hockenson could jumpstart that process. The Iowa product would walk into Green Bay as the team’s best blocking tight end as well as a quality pass catcher. In Matt LaFleur’s offense, he makes a ton of sense. Stay up-to-date with all the Packers-related news from day two of the draft tonight."After the Green Bay Packers focused on their defense on the first day of the 2019 NFL Draft, Friday came and saw the team select a pair of offensive players. Mississippi State lineman Elgton Jenkins, the team’s second-round pick, looks like a ready-made starter at guard as a rookie, and will surely be in the mix to start on day one. In round three, general manager Brian Gutekunst tabbed Texas A&M’s Jace Sternberger as the team’s tight end of the future Justin Vogel Jersey White , evidently thrilled that he was still available with the 75th selection.As the third and final day of the draft gets underway, the Packers hold four selections between rounds four and seven. The team’s two fourth-round picks left on Thursday when Gutekunst traded up to select safety Darnell Savage — a move that Gutekunst felt was critical, saying that he knew for a fact that Savage would not have fallen to the Packers at 30.One possibility there is that the Ravens, who held the 22nd pick, were in on Savage. That seems plausible (particularly given the fact that Baltimore immediately traded down after the Packers selected Savage), and there is reason to believe that the Packers would have some level of insight into what Baltimore was looking for. After all, Gutekunst’s new right-hand man, Milt Hendrickson, worked in the Ravens’ personnel department through the end of the 2018 season. He would certainly have some ideas as to what players the Ravens would have been considering there.Day three gets underway at 11:00 AM Central, and keep an eye on the Packers as a potential trade-up candidate into the fourth round. There are still a handful of surprising players remaining on the board, names like Chauncey Gardner-Johnson Womens Muhammad Wilkerson Jersey , Hakeem Butler, and Amani Hooker. Tune in today to see if the Packers make a move for one of them.2019 NFL Draft — Day 3Start time: 11:00 AM Central TimeLocation: Nashville, TennesseeTV Coverage: NFL Network, ESPN, ABCOnline Streaming: NFL.com, ESPN appTime per pick: 5 minutes (4th through 6th rounds), 4 minutes (7th round)Full 2019 NFL Draft PrimerFull list of Green Bay Packers’ 2019 draft picksBest players remaining to start day threePackers’ Day 2 PicksRound 5, pick 12 (#150) — Kingsley Keke, DL, Texas A&MRound 6, pick 12 (#185) — Ka’Dar Hollman http://www.packerslockerroom.com/authentic-demetri-goodson-jersey , CB, ToledoRound 6, pick 21 (#194) — Dexter Williams, RB, Notre DameRound 7, pick 12 (#226) — Ty Summers, LB, TCUAPC Staff Twitter FeedA Twitter List by acmepackingco

On Thursday Infant Blessuan Austin Jersey , Jets running back Le'Veon Bell said that four teams had talked to the Jets about trading for him: the Texans, Chiefs, Packers, and Steelers.On Sunday, ESPN reported that Bell was telling the truth.Adam Schefter of ESPN, citing unnamed sources, reports that the Texans, Chiefs, Packers, and Steelers explored trading for Bell. (Although Schefter mentions that Bell said himself that the Steelers were “in the mix,” the item from Schefter doesn’t mention that Bell also flagged the Texans, Chiefs Blessuan Austin Jersey Draft , and Packers as interested teams.)It’s kind of a strange situation, to say the least. Given, however, that some expressed skepticism that Bell was being honest or accurate as to the teams that tried to trade for him, it apparently made sense to confirm that Bell’s version of the events was accurate.Bell’s comments from Thursday seemed to suggest that a new team may have wanted Bell to rework a contract that will pay him $27 million fully guaranteed through 2020. Bell made it clear that he would not have reduced his expected pay.And so he remains with the Jets, presumably since he’s due to make half of the $27 million next season — and since no other team may be willing to pay him $13.5 million in 2020.

In 2014 when he was being recruited he picked the Broncos over a USC grayshirt offer. A grayshirt offer is when you sit out in the fall and enroll on scholarship the following spring. He chose Boise State because he was expected to push for immediate playing time as a true freshman for the Broncos in 2014.Shortly before he was set to leave for Boise he found out that his ACT score didn’t qualify, and he’d be academically ineligible that fall. Frazier was allowed to enroll at Boise State on scholarship, but he couldn’t be around the team. He was not allowed to attend practices or meetings, and he wasn’t allowed to be in the weight room when his teammates were there.He was forced to work out at odd hours early in the morning or late at night. You have to realize this is a kid from Los Angeles who at 18 moved to Idaho to play football. He had only two people that were friends, but they were both on the team so he couldn’t visit with them. “It was really hard, honestly Blessuan Austin NFL Jersey ,” Frazier said. “It was so tough. I couldn’t be around the team. I’d go lift for one hour and then go back to the dorms. Moving here and having two friends and not being able to ever see them, it was just really hard for me. I would talk to my parents every day and they just kept telling me to fight through it. It felt like the longest four months of my life, but I got through it.”To throw salt into the wound, he was on academic redshirt and that season counted as a year of eligibility. Plus he had to earn a 2.8 grade-point average to become eligible for the following year. Not being the most gifted student this was a trying task for Frazier, but he persevered and became eligible the following year. He played in 6 games as a freshman at the STUD position which is a hybrid OLB/DE who is on the line but rushes the passer and also drops into coverage.In 2016 he played in 12 games with 38 tackles, 4 TFL and 4 sacks, but he played most of the year with shoulder, ankle and knee injuries which all needed surgery. He finally gave into the pain before the Cactus Bowl. He was supposed to spread the surgeries out, but he elected to have them all at once. “I wanted to do it just to get it out of the way,” Frazier said. “I was like ‘I might as well just do it all at one time and recover at one time,’ but once I did it and I was in that wheelchair, I was like ‘maybe that wasn’t a good idea.’” He missed spring practice and was not cleared to play until just before fall camp.“It was not a wonderful experience Blessuan Austin NFL Draft ,” Frazier said. “But I’m happy to experience that because it definitely humbled me and made me more grateful for a lot of things, especially football.His teammates appreciated all the struggles and hardships Frazier had been through and voted him one of the three permanent captains during his senior year. “I think it’s a story of hard work, I really do,” Boise State coach Bryan Harsin said. “To overcome the adversity of sitting there and having to watch that entire first season and to go out there to prepare yourself to play and get on the field and then being injured … I think Jabril is in a good place now. I think he understands what it takes to be successful, and I think he understands that no matter how high he reaches right now and what level he’s at, he still has to get better and that it could be taken away from him too. There’s an appreciation for his opportunities.”I have watched 6 games of this kid, and he will need a serious infusion of intensity along with technical training to be effective. He has good size but is an average athlete at best, He had a 4.79/40, 30.5” vert and did 22 reps on the bench with 33 1/2” arms.He is not an instinctual player and is literally awful out in space. He had zero INTs and 4 passes defended in 4 years. He had 18 total sacks in 43 games, but I never saw him once beat a tackle to get one.He had 24.5 TFL in that time. Here is on. He is untouched on his way in from the edge.The video is quite self-explanatory. The only question remains is why the QB didn’t pitch the ball.The back is open with no one around him. It’s as if he just forgot the play. This was a gift TFL for Frazier. Here is a gift sack for Frazier when the offensive line forgets what its blocking assignments are on the play. He is playing the RDE position, and the line gets confused when the ROLB blitzes on the play.The TE who is in the slot kind of gives Frazier a handshake as he goes out into the flat, but it was the LT job to pick up Frazier on the play.This next play is the best play I saw Frazier make in 6 games. He is the LDE at the bottom of the screen Blessuan Austin Buffalo Bills Jersey , and he is again going up against a TE on the play. Once the ball is snapped the TE gets some help by the running back, but that back is Justice Hill who is really fast but is under 200 lbs with little to no power. This is the only time I saw him use a spin move, and it was very effective. Frazier can have violent hands at times but rarely uses them. His rush counters are almost non \existent (save for this spin move), and he really doesn’t show a great plan of attack before the snap.Everything appears to be spontaneously made up at the instant it occurs. The same play from another angle.At least this play shows you he has some talent to work with for a DL or LB coach to build upon. You will even see him occasionally run down plays from behind, but they are too far in between for a NFL player. Unless the play is right in front of him he will seem confused as to a plan of action. This next clip is the type of effort you see far too often. He is #8, the player who is on the top of the screen near the 20 on the field.The play is being run to his side of the field, but he takes the outside route and has to run himself into a blocker (who is blocking someone else at the time) to have any contact on the play. He needs to read that play and attack by the hash where the play is. If the RB had broken through the tackle he was nowhere close to a position to affect a tackle. This next play is befuddling to me as he is the RDE who has contain responsibilities on the play but crashes down instead of holding his ground.He doesn’t read the play at all. This is a read option, and he has to guard the edge. He crashes down and tries to tackle the lead blocker. He wasn’t even faked the ball. Why would you do that? He took himself out of the play to attack a player who was never an offensive threat on the play, just puzzling. On this last play the ball is run directly at Frazier’s gap, but he is taken out easily by the pulling guard. It’s a simple trap play that he has to be more aware of and step inside that block or stack the guard to make the tackle on the play.The guard just drops him to the ground and keeps moving downfield like he was a tackling dummy. He has to use his hands much better in that situation to keep the guard off him so he can step into the hole and make the play. SummeryFrazier will need a complete rebuild of his technical skill set and film study with a coach to make him more effective on the field. I doubt a coach will allot that kind of time to a UDFA unless he sees some kind of spark from the player. He has good size, but he is sort of a tweener because he is not strong enough to play as a DE in the NFL and has tight hips which would make it difficult for him to play in space. In my opinion unless Frazier has a miraculous transformation in a few short months I don’t see how he survives the first cut if he makes it even that far.

his controversial comments from an ESPN interview after Sunday’s last-second loss to the Panthers Will Hernandez Jerseys 2019 , saying he regrets nothing, explaining that he was simply displaying leadership, and claiming credit for the team’s display of effort, heart, and grit. So what does his teammates think?“I haven鈥檛 heard anything,” quarterback Eli Manning told reporters. “Odell and I have a great relationship. Our mindset will be everybody stay focused on beating Philadelphia.”聽Safety Landon Collins also pleaded ignorance.“I don鈥檛 know what comments you guys are talking about,” Collins told reporters. “I didn鈥檛 hear about them, but when Odell came to talk to us, he spoke from the heart, he talked gratefully, and we knew where he was coming from. We knew he was coming from the heart, so you know he鈥檚 a great teammate White Lorenzo Carter Jerseys , a great guy, a great person and a leader. This offense, this team, we have to look up to him, so we knew where he was coming from.”Defensive lineman Damon Harrison was the most circumspect of the bunch.“I聽don鈥檛 really want to comment on that,” Harrison said. “It was handled in house.”The comments from coach Pat Shurmur created the distinct impression that he wants it to continue to be handled in house. With the Giants traveling back from Carolina tonight — and with some possibly not fully aware of his performance from the ESPN interview — there’s a chance that one or more of them will have something to say, on or off the record, over the next day or so.The fact that the Giants have to quickly refocus on a short-week game against the Eagles could make it easer for the Giants to avoid a rash of reports regarding players who think that Beckham went too far. Regardless, it’s quite possible that many of them didn’t quite know what Beckham was apologizing for when he apologized on Saturday night. Is Dakota Allen the rangy, athletic linebacker the Giants’ defense needs?"WhiteFanposts Fanshots Sections New York Giants NewsGiants Training Camp 2016Giants vs. Eagles 2015, Week 172019 NFL DraftCould Texas Tech’s Dakota Allen bring some much-needed speed to the Giants’ linebacking corps?New,11commentsIs Dakota Allen the rangy Lorenzo Carter Jerseys 2019 , athletic linebacker the Giants’ defense needs? ESTShareTweetShareShareCould Texas Tech’s Dakota Allen bring some much-needed speed to the Giants’ linebacking corps?Michael C. Johnson-USA TODAY SportsThe nature of offense is changing in the NFL. Thanks to a number of influences, offenses are adopting a number of strategies and concepts from the college ranks, relying on on spacing and speed to stress defenses. And as a natural response, the NFL defense has had to adjust, most notably by getting smaller, faster, and more flexible than in years past. The New York Giants need to upgrade the talent at every level of their defense, which includes adding more speed to the middle of their defense. They were gashed by running backs and tight ends over the middle, and the team could be looking to upgrade UDFA nickel linebacker Tae Davis. If so, Texas Tech’s Dakota Allen could be the athletic coverage and blitzing linebacker the team has lacked. MeasurablesProsHighly athletic linebacker. Flies around the field when he commits.Aggressive, fiery blitzer. Hard hitter and physical taking blockers.Fluid dropping into zone coverage, able to run with pass catchers in man coverage.Shows the ability to “click and close”. Reacts quickly to the offense.ConsDoesn’t appear to be overly instinctive.Can get caught up in the trash.Struggles to shed blockers.Was dismissed from TTU in 2016 after being arrested for burglary (charges were dismissed)Prospect VideoWhat They’re Saying Allen is an inside linebacker with good toughness and intangibles but lacks the speed and instincts teams look for in the middle. He plays with good short-area quickness and a willingness to stick his nose into oncoming traffic in order to leverage his gap and set his teammates up for success. With adequate athleticism and the potential to become a core special teamer White B.J. Hill Jerseys , Allen could hear his name called in the later rounds of the draft.- Lance Zierlein (NFL.com - Scouting Report)Does He Fit The Giants?If the Giants want to upgrade Tae Davis and add a “new age” athletic linebacker to their defense, Dakota Allen would be a good choice. He has the kind of range and speed the Giants have lacked in the middle of their defense, with the athleticism to drop into both man and zone coverage. He is also a capable run defender when the defensive line does a good job of occupying blockers, and flies downhill when asked to blitz. While Allen is quick to react to the offense, he isn’t the most instinctive defender and that can be used against him. He can be prone to being manipulated by offensive misdirection, and might be best suited to being a sub-package player to start his career -- though he might be able to grow into a larger role. The NFL will want to do an in-depth background check on him after he was dismissed from Texas Tech back in 2016 after being arrested for burglary (including the theft of firearms). The charges were eventually dismissed, and he earned his way back to Texas Tech in 2017 after enrolling in East Mississippi Community College. At EMCC he racked up 117 tackles, which he followed up with 175 tackles, 8.5 for a loss, and 6 passes defensed in 2017 and 2018 since returning to Texas Tech. Assuming Allen doesn’t have any lingering character concerns, the Giants could make good use of one of their many day three picks by selecting him. His athleticism and physicality would be welcome on both the Giants’ defense and their special teams.

from afar. He got to see them up close on Sunday Chris Hubbard Color Rush Jersey , and he could be starting to realize that no other team is like the Patriots, especially not the Browns.After Sunday’s loss at New England, Beckham bemoaned the fact that the ball wasn’t thrown his way more often.“I just felt like we didn’t challenge as much as we could have,” Beckham told reporters in reference to cornerback Stephon Gilmore holding Beckham to five catches for 52 yards on seven targets. “I think we kind of shied away from it. I was expecting and looking forward to it, but that wasn’t the case today. We had a couple plays, but for whatever reason we didn’t do as much challenging as we talked about. Other than that whatever came my way, pretty much I caught. Whatever opportunities I had I made the most of them. You can only control what you can control.”That’s the downside of adding a star receiver who: (1) wants the ball often; and (2) isn’t shy about saying so. Especially if the team isn’t winning.If the team is winning, complaining about not getting the ball more comes off as selfish. If the team isn’t winning, the player can find cover in the simple notion that, if he’d gotten the ball more, maybe the team would have won.For the season, Beckham has 34 catches (tied for 33rd in the league) for 488 yards (23rd) and one touchdown (tied for 92nd). That’s not the impact that the Browns or Beckham envisioned, and it’s not the season that anyone envisioned for Cleveland.While the schedule does indeed soften https://www.brownsfanshop.com/Seth-Devalve-Jersey , the margin for error is becoming narrower; the Browns basically have to finish 7-2 to have a shot at getting to the playoffs. And Beckham, who may spend some of the next 30 hours wishfully thinking that he’ll be getting a call from Browns G.M. John Dorsey informing Beckham that he’s been traded to the Patriots, will likely continue to not-so-subtly complain about his lack of involvement in the offense, especially if the Browns keep losing.

Notable Injuries: The Browns have escaped camp relatively clean in terms of injuries, through the first 13 days of camp. On the 14th day, we learned about a couple of more startling ones. DE Chad Thomas was immobilized and carted off near the end of practice.

Kicking Update: Early in practice Kevin Zeitler Jersey , kickers Greg Joseph and Austin Seibert were put to the test again. This time, they each got six field goal attempts, although at shorter distances. Joseph was a percent 6-of-6. Seibert’s success rate is improving, but he still missed one to go 5-of-6.3. Myles vs. Baker: One of the fun highlights to see: the top players on offense and defense meeting up on a play. In this case, DE Myles Garrett was the victor over QB Baker Mayfield:4. Hollywood Higgins: One of the top offensive highlights of practice came when QB Baker Mayfield dropped back and launched it to WR Rashard Higgns for a 50-yard touchdown.5. Defensive Line Returns: The entire Browns’ front four was back at full strength today: DE Myles Garrett, DT Larry Ogunjobi, DT Sheldon Richardson, and DE Olivier Vernon all practiced, with Richardson and Vernon being the two returning players.6. Brownies: LT Greg Robinson was briefly pulled from the first-team unit for OT Kendall Lamm, to check his right hand. ... OL Drew Forbes saw some action as the right guard on the second team. ... DT Devaroe Lawrence continues to receive solid reviews. ... The Browns did a goal line drill from the one-yard line. ...
