Oakland's hapless secondary
23 Nov
, 2017
Part of this is the pass rush (or lack of it). The Raiders have a league-low 14 sacks. They’re also lean on talent in the secondary. But it’s pretty remarkable...
Landry the rich and plenty
22 Nov
, 2017
Landry has faced the Patriots on five previous occasions in his career. He's caught 6-10 passes in all of those games, averaging 91 yards. He's only scored once, so that's not as encouraging...
Extra stuffing on Thanksgiving?
22 Nov
, 2017
I don’t think there’s an off-the-charts bonus, but it does seem like there’s a little more offense.
In the last 10 years, there’s been an average of 46.9 points scored in these games...
Tough (but not impossible) matchup for Fitzgerald
21 Nov
, 2017
The Jaguars have faced five other elite, No. 1 type wide receivers this season. (We're excluding A.J. Green, ejected early on in their game.) Only 1 of them has scored...
Ravens sticking with Collins
16 Nov
, 2017
For reasons I can’t explain, however, they don’t seem to like Collins in short-yardage and goal-line situations. That’s contributed to him going the entire season without scoring a touchdown...
Most (and least) improved
15 Nov
, 2017
I find the decline of the G-Men to be the most puzzling. They’ve got the same players, the same coordinator and the same system, yet last year they ranked 2nd in scoring defense...
Start no one else but Kelce
14 Nov
, 2017
New York, as we've been mentioning in the Weekly for a while now, has allowed a tight end to score in every game...
The struggles of Thomas Rawls
10 Nov
, 2017
Rawls had another crummy game against an up-and-down Arizona run defense last night...
Seattle's improving offenses
9 Nov
, 2017
Fine-tuning that thinking, maybe we should all be zeroing in on Wilson as perhaps the best fantasy quarterback during the final two months...
Not doubting Thomas with Brock
7 Nov
, 2017
But while Osweiler is one of league's worst starting quarterbacks (and not one of its better backups, either), he's at least done one thing well while starting for the Broncos: get the ball to Dema...
Going for 2 not going well
3 Nov
, 2017
Through the first eight weeks of the season, teams have attempted 42 2-point conversions...
Can struggling QBs rebound?
30 Oct
, 2017
Ryan, Newton and Roethlisberger are all on pace to finish the season with about 20 TD passes...
Drew Stanton at the helm for Arizona
29 Oct
, 2017
Stanton is 33, and he’s had plenty of chances to play before. He simply doesn’t have the vision, timing and decision-making skills to be a viable starting quarterback...
Zay Jones' first-year struggles
26 Oct
, 2017
But it just hasn’t happened. The Bills have tried to force-feed him into the lineup, but he’s clearly not ready...
Bullish on the Bengals
24 Oct
, 2017
First there's Joe Mixon. The Colts played the run well earlier in the year, but have now allowed 100-yard games in back-to-back weeks to Derrick Henry and T.J...
