Bad Penny
15 Aug
, 2018
Penny will have surgery that will sideline him three to four weeks. Maybe he's ready for Week 1, but he'd no doubt have a limited, backup role even if active. Carson should start, C.J...

Morris is the poster child for having some conviction in what you believe...
Eagles wide receivers

Saquon Barkley on his first preseason carry busted loose for a long run, and it reminded me of Adrian Peterson back in 2007...
Overlooked veterans
12 Aug
