Can Julio stay hot?

November 30, 2017
Last year, believe it or not, it would have been a significant downgrade...

Toothless Panthers?

November 28, 2017
Nearly half of Carolina's schedule has been played against decidedly lesser, non-Brees level quarterbacks. Brian Hoyer, Tyrod Taylor, Mike Glennon, Jay Cutler, injured-Winston/Fitzpatrick...
Drew Brees

Bengals run over Browns

November 27, 2017
While the Bengals have had their troubles, they tend to be money in the bank against the Browns, and that’s the way it played out, with Joe Mixon running for 114 yards, adding another 51 yards as a...

Oakland's hapless secondary

November 23, 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

November 22, 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...
Jarvis Landry

Extra stuffing on Thanksgiving?

November 22, 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

November 21, 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...
Larry Fitzgerald

Ravens sticking with Collins

November 16, 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...
Alex Collins Mike Gillislee Todd Gurley Lamar Miller LeGarrette Blount

Most (and least) improved

November 15, 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

November 14, 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...
Travis Kelce

The struggles of Thomas Rawls

November 10, 2017
Rawls had another crummy game against an up-and-down Arizona run defense last night...

Seattle's improving offenses

November 9, 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...
Russell Wilson

Not doubting Thomas with Brock

November 7, 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...
Demaryius Thomas Brock Osweiler

Going for 2 not going well

November 3, 2017
Through the first eight weeks of the season, teams have attempted 42 2-point conversions...

Can struggling QBs rebound?

October 30, 2017
Ryan, Newton and Roethlisberger are all on pace to finish the season with about 20 TD passes...
