Oakland Raiders

2 Aug , 2016
The Raiders (and this is hard to believe) didn’t use Cooper at all around the goal line last year. Not a single pass was thrown his way when they were inside the 10 yard line...

Tyler Boyd

31 Jul , 2016
The recent history of second-rounders as rookies isn't particularly compelling. Over the last decade, there have been no 1,000-yard receivers, and fewer than a handful reach even 800 yards...

Oakland Raiders

I’m not going to talk up Helu. I’m not sure that he’ll ever be on a 53-man roster in the regular season again...

Joey Bosa

30 Jul , 2016
Thus far, the Chargers haven't been able to get him signed. It's a little baffling; there's not a lot of wiggle room in rookie contracts nowadays...

Minnesota Vikings

29 Jul , 2016
Treadwell is a big receiver, but he’s painfully slow...

San Francisco 49ers

24 Jul , 2016
Gabbert was a bust in Jacksonville, but he’s been working on his game. He showed some potential last year...

Packers No. 3 wideouts

23 Jul , 2016
This article looks at the team's wide receivers. Jordy Nelson is expected to return from his ACL injury as the team's No. 1, with Randall Cobb not far off as the No. 2 (or 1A, perhaps). The No...

Quarterbacks

19 Jul , 2016
The growth in this area is pretty remarkable. In the first five years of this century, 11 quarterbacks threw at least 30 TDs in a season...

Eric Berry

16 Jul , 2016
Kansas City seems to be taking a pretty big chance not locking up Berry, who's been a key component of the secondary the last few years...

Tevin Coleman

14 Jul , 2016
Coleman was drafted a round earlier than Freeman, recall (a third rounder in 2015, after they selected Freeman in the fourth the previous year)...

Goal-line rushing

12 Jul , 2016
Consider, for example, the myth that a running back can be counted on to score essentially all of his team’s short-yardage touchdowns...

Derrick Henry

10 Jul , 2016
Murray, certainly, is no lock to be the guy he was in Dallas two years ago...

Tight ends

7 Jul , 2016
Let me illustrate the point. In 2000, NFL teams completed 167 passes for 2,292 yards and 13 TDs to wide receivers. That was the league average per team...

Kickers

5 Jul , 2016
Below see the cumulative numbers for two different scoring systems. The first is standard NFL points – 3 points for each field goal, and 1 for each PAT...

Running backs

4 Jul , 2016
I used the last four years for this group, and I’m listing only running backs with at least 15 touchdowns...
