Marquise Goodwin could be a steal in the later rounds of drafts. It is never too early to start planning for the 2018 fantasy football season. When it comes to drafting a wide receiver, you either draft one early after the run on running backs or you wait until the middle rounds. The receiver position is deep so if you don’t end up with Antonio Brown, Odell Beckham Jr. or…
(AP Photo/Gail Burton) It is never too early to start planning for the 2018 fantasy football season. When it comes to drafting a tight end, there are two schools of though. Take an elite tight end in the first five rounds or wait until the last five rounds to take one. If you chose to wait, here are five tight ends you should consider drafting that offer terrific value. 5….
I hate to tell Cassius Marsh, but if you want to be consistently good and compete for championships, you can’t have fun in the NFL. It is called the No Fun League for a reason. Winning comes at a price. Anyone who tells you otherwise, doesn’t understand the NFL. The fact that Marsh doesn’t think the Patriots “have fun” shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone. Belichick runs a tight ship….
Voluntary OTA’s began in Foxboro on Monday and Tom Brady was once again nowhere to be found. Brady’s absence has been the topic of conversation thus far, overshadowing any talk about the team. His absence is further proof that there is clearly a rift between the quarterback and the organization. I don’t have well placed sources who told me there is a rift, but it blatantly obvious there is an…
Photo courtesy of USATI The 2018 NFL Draft has come and gone but several rookies that were drafted last weekend are expected to step in and make an impact right away. Here are 20 rookies you should consider drafting next season. 1. Saquon Barkley, RB, Giants: No brainer. Barkley is a first round talent in most fantasy drafts and should go no later than the second round. He’ll rush for over…
I have come around to the notion that Tom Brady skipping voluntary workouts is really not a big deal after all. If any other player including Rob Gronkowski missed them, then I would have a problem with that. When your 40 year old all world quarterback misses them, it is not a big deal. The local media has been whipped up into a frenzy regarding Brady’s absence. Many are speculating…
The Patriots released offensive tackle Antonio Garcia yesterday. Garcia was a 2017 third round pick. He was originally drafted as a potential replacement for Nate Solder at left tackle but he missed his entire rookie season due to blood clots in his lungs. As a result, Garcia lost 40 pounds and was not the same physically. It’s rare to see Bill Belichick give up on a young player like that,…
Reports indicated earlier this week that the Patriots were considering reworking Rob Gronkowski‘s contract and adding a year to it. In the process, the Patriots would bump Gronkowski’s salary up in each of the next two seasons. Gronkowski is under contract for two more seasons at a base salary of $8 million in 2018 and $9 million in 2019. He is a bargain at those numbers and has clearly out…
The Patriots have decided not to pick up the fifth year options for defensive tackles Malcolm Brown and Danny Shelton. While this may seem surprising, it really is not that surprising. Let’s start with Brown. If the Patriots picked up Brown’s option for 2019, they would have to pay him $7.8 million. Bill Belichick does not want to do that. Instead, he would prefer to try and sign Brown to…
The Patriots may have found Danny Amendola 2.0 in Braxton Berrios. The Patriots were busy on day three of the NFL Draft. They made two additional trades and added six players to their roster. Here is my breakdown of the six players that were drafted in day three. 5th Round: Ja’Whaun Bentley, ILB, Purdue, 6-2 260 What I Like: Bentley is an old school plugger in run support. He reads…
