Carlos Hyde

I like Hyde myself...

The vanishing kick return

11 Jun , 2016
Back in 2011, the league moved kickoffs from the 30-yard line to the 35, so as to produce more kicks into the end zone and more touchbacks (and fewer returns)...

Sophomore running backs

9 Jun , 2016
All of these backs did some good things as rookies...

Rob Gronkowski

6 Jun , 2016
There are more good tight ends than there have been in the past...

Eli Manning

5 Jun , 2016
This is using standard scoring, and I’m using per-game production. Manning plays 16 games every year, so this works against him...

Tackles are for losers

5 Jun , 2016
I pulled out the top-5 tacklers in the league from each of the last 10 seasons. Only 15 of those 50 players played for teams that had winning records...

100-tackle rookies

4 Jun , 2016
Since 2000 there have been 39 rookies to do it, or about 2-3 per year. I settled on Buffalo's Reggie Ragland as the likeliest candidate...

Myles Jack

1 Jun , 2016
He's healthy now, and the Jaguars will likely find a place for him in their defense right away. But rookie expectations should probably be modest...

Antonio Brown

30 May , 2016

Interceptions

30 May , 2016
Over the last 10 years, 65 different defensive players have had more than 5 interceptions in a season...

Cleveland Browns

29 May , 2016
“We call it ‘big boy football.’ It is all about attitudes and it starts with the run game...

NFC West is the best

29 May , 2016
Using a scoring system that gives fantasy points for sacks (1), turnovers (2) and defensive or special teams touchdowns (6), the Cardinals and Rams have both finished in the top 10 in each of the l...

First to near-worst

28 May , 2016
The Bills racked up a league-best 111 sacks in the 2013-2014 seasons, finishing 2nd and 1st in sacks in those two years...

Connor Cook

27 May , 2016
What made Cook fall? Nobody knows for sure, and different teams could have passed on him for different reasons...

Eddie Lacy / 2013 running backs

27 May , 2016
But it's not all bad for Lacy. At least he's not Montee Ball. It's said you shouldn't judge a draft class until three years later...
