Second-round wide receivers
19 Aug
, 2018
For a couple of those players, the depth chart makes starting right away unlikely...
Josh Allen
18 Aug
, 2018
The smart money says it will be Allen; that's how things generally go with quarterback selected in the top 10 (the first round, really). Patrick Mahomes sitting all last year is the exception...
Jeremy Hill
17 Aug
, 2018
Hill has been battling with Mike Gillislee for the big running back job in the offense, but through two exhibitions now he's been a lot better...
Tavon Austin sighting

, 2018
Prescott, in fact, sat down for an interview with Clarence E. Hill Jr...
Jacksonville receivers
15 Aug
, 2018
Marqise Lee is the most proven, and they re-signed him in the offseason to a four-year deal worth $38 million, with $18 million guaranteed. He was their busiest guy around the goal line last year...
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
14 Aug

Nelson Agholor (pictured), definitely...

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
, 2018
When the Colts played at Seattle, I liked what I saw out of Marlon Mack (especially on a 17-yard catch to open the game). He looks like their starting tailback...
Crowell looks solid
11 Aug
, 2018
Crowell weighs 225, has some speed, and he runs angry...
Green Bay linebackers
11 Aug
, 2018
Inside linebacker Jake Ryan, a 2015 fourth-rounder, has been a staple of the defense the last two seasons, and was entering a contract year...
Washington running backs
10 Aug
, 2018
Derrius Guice didn't light up the box score (6 carries, 19 yards) but he looked like a natural running the ball, and by far his best play -- a 34-yard run -- was erased by a holding penalty...
Does Martavis Bryant still have it?
8 Aug
, 2018
Jon Gruden ripped Bryant at the start of the week, of course. And now James Jones (a former Raiders receiver) says offensive coordinator Greg Olson told him the same thing...
