Predicting fantasy studs before the draft even takes place can be a tricky prospect in the best of times. That being the case, there are players out there that will likely succeed in almost any environment. These five players should be able to make a major impact for their respective teams in 2014, and for […]

There’s been a lot of talk about which quarterback prospects in the 2014 NFL draft are best suited for teams in need of franchise signal callers, but rarely do we look at it from the players’ perspective. Thing is, now that a slotting system controls the money first-round picks get, there’s no longer a dire […]

Russell Wilson is the new kid on the block — 25 years old, coming off an amazing sophomore season and a fresh Super Bowl champion. He’s charming, marketable and damn good at playing quarterback. Which is why it should surprise nobody that Wilson has become the league’s biggest draw when it comes to merchandise sales. […]

Entering his third season, Robert Griffin III has much to prove. After his rookie campaign, Griffin was carrying injuries to his ACL and LCL as well as the distinction as the biggest young star in the NFL. Last season was a different story. Griffin never looked like his rookie self, and the Redskins suffered because […]

Anytime you enter the draft conventional wisdom suggests that the lower the draft pick is, the lower the chance the player you pick will turn out to be a hit. That doesn’t mean there hasn’t been some crazy success stories later in the draft in the recent past. To illustrate those examples, as well as […]

The debate is beginning to heat up, even though it’s probably going to be moot by November, maybe even October. Who’ll start at quarterback this season for the New York Jets? Will it be the talented but flawed youngster, Geno Smith? Or will it be the talented but flawed veteran, Michael Vick? One has upside, […]

The NFL has been looking for a way to make the kicking game matter now that field goals have basically become automatic, especially from inside 40 yards. The average field goal success percentage, league-wide, in 2013 was 86.5, which was actually up 2.6 points from last season. There were only six misses on 242 attempts […]

The Bottom Line: It’s always better to be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt. Fresh from the Richie Incognito scandal, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell must have winced when he heard the details of LA Clippers owner Donald Sterling’s conversation with his hot ex-girlfriend. (Wait, WHAT? Sterling said that to […]

This year’s quarterback class has been, if nothing else, unpredictable. Heading into draft season, Teddy Bridgewater was the favorite, but since then, it’s fluctuated between him, Blake Bortles or Johnny Manziel, depending on who you’re asking and on which day you’re asking. The Dallas Cowboys are entering a transitional period in which they’re not really […]

Free agency in the NFL has several waves. We’ve dealt with two big ones, and now the waters are pretty much calm. But another sizable rush will come in once next week’s draft has been completed. In order for you to prepare for that development, here are the top 15 free agents still lingering on […]

It’s hard to come by a winning quarterback on the open market in the NFL, but there’s still one man out there that was once a rising star before locker room issues derailed a promising career. Vince Young hasn’t taken a regular season snap since his short stint with the Philadelphia Eagles in 2011. Before […]

The ability to move the ball through the air has defined the NFL over the past decade. Teams such as the Patriots, Colts and Saints have thrived by attacking opponents with very little support from the running game. The new culture of “pass and stop the pass” has pushed teams to reach for quarterbacks they […]

Bottom Line: Put your money in fantasy football and not in athlete fantasy stock. Hand it to Fantex. The collapse of last year’s Arian Foster stock offer has not stopped them from a second try, this time with a tracking stock tied to San Francisco 49ers tight end Vernon Davis. Fantex offered Davis an up-front, […]

The NFL draft is the best way for teams to bring young talent into the fold. As it stands, a player must have been out of high school for at least three years to be eligible to enter the draft. The rules don’t require that players attend college, although since college is the de-facto farm […]

Every year a number of busts are selected in the first half of the draft. The biggest busts are those that are picked early in the event, and this year has a number of possibilities to claim the prize of being the biggest draft bust. Many believe Jadeveon Clowney has all the makings of one […]
