To everyone’s dismay, injury season is well and truly heating up in the NFL, as bye weeks seemingly cannot come quickly enough (except for fantasy football players). And whilst we have already had devastating, season-ending injuries from cornerstone players like Brandon Aiyuk and Chris Godwin – many players remain on the periphery of good/not-good to go for this upcoming Week 10 bout. Fantasy Football Injuries Piling Up Although it is far from the most important facet of the injury issues, this has major implications for fantasy players; who to bench and who to pick up in their stead. As such,…

After tightly sealing his mouth on virtually any and every topic known to man, Bill Belichick suddenly has a pretty outspoken opinion on everything. And it is getting better and better. Much of the news cycle over the past week or so concerns the team movement of a certain Las Vegas Raiders receiver, former Green Bay Packer and 3 x All Pro, Davante Adams. Davante Adams Looking For An Exit From Sin City After requesting a trade last week, the Fresno State alum was kept out of last week’s drudging at the hands of divisional foes, the Denver Broncos. With…
In the new world we occupy of clinical disagreement and argument over any factoid, no matter how large or small; the one thing we can all agree on is that Jayden Daniels looks phenomenal. After a slightly pass-shy, but nevertheless solid opening two games of the season, the former LSU Heisman Trophy winner burst onto the scene with a fantastic Monday night display at the Cincinnati Bengals, where the Washington Commanders eventually triumphed in a 38-33 thriller. Jayden Daniels Looking Like The Clear Offensive Rookie Of The Year So Far Although Daniels’ in-play metrics have not actually spiked since that…
The Indianapolis Colts may well be facing one of the worst injury situations in the National Football League right now. With the exception of the oft-lamented San Francisco 49ers and Los Angeles Rams, the Colts have sneakily built up quite a generous unavailable list themselves. Indianapolis Colts’ Injuries Rapidly Piling Up Star defensive tackle, DeForest Buckner; behemoth tight end, Jelani Woods; no.1 corner and second year pro, Juju Brents; guard, Will Fries; and defensive lineman Samson Ebukam and Tyquan Lewis have all landed on injured reserve within the first month of the new season. And that does not even cover…
Despite previously stating that the Las Vegas Raiders would hold a week long QB competition to see who will start at quarterback against the 3-2 Pittsburgh Steelers, head coach Antonio Pierce has made his decision well ahead of schedule. Las Vegas Raiders Needing An Offensive Spark Coming into the season, 2023 Pro Bowler Gardner Minshew was expected to take the starting QB role, with perhaps some small semblance of competition from last year’s impressive 4th round rookie, Aiden O’Connell. Yet, with Minshew only just edging out the 2nd year pro, it was always going to be interesting to see how…
One would imagine that there is not a lot that can surprise Kyle Shanahan, the stoic 3 x NFC Champion head coach of the San Francisco 49ers. A man who has dealt with everything from injuries to trade requests to Super Bowl heartbreaks. In fact, cruelly, the only thing the man has not experienced is the feeling of hoisting of the Lombardi Trophy itself. Yet, it seems that recents events have managed to surpass that barrier, as the former AP Assistant Coach of the Year had a fairly startled reaction to the news of Robert Saleh’s firing as head coach…
The Las Vegas Raiders organization have been in for a tough couple of days. Coming off a humbling 18-34 loss to division rivals, the Denver Broncos, the Raiders are considering a quarterback change and are in the midst of a trade saga with wide receiver, Davante Adams. The one thing that Las Vegas have mostly steered clear of up until this point are season-altering injuries to major players. Emphasis on “up until this point”. On Sunday, it turns out that star defensive tackle and major free agent acquisition, Christian Wilkins, suffered a Jones fracture; a particularly nasty foot injury that…
A sad day for the Washington Commanders, and indeed the National Football League, as All-Pro cornerback Pat Fischer, has died aged 84, per ProFootballTalk. Former All-Pro CB Pat Fischer, who played for Washington and St. Louis in a long career, dies at 84. https://t.co/y9ArJNIfFY — ProFootballTalk (@ProFootballTalk) October 8, 2024 Pat Fischer A Huge Contributor To Pro Football Whilst many younger fans of the game will not immediately recognize the name, Fischer was a stalwart of the then Washington Redskins defense throughout the late 1960s and 1970s. The 3 x All Pro overcame his comparatively smaller size to produce a…
The one thing the San Francisco 49ers almost certainly did not need more of was yet another injury related absence, but it seems as if Talanoa Hufanga’s recent woes may give them even more to think about. The San Francisco 49ers Cannot Catch An Injury Break So far in 2024, the reigning NFC Champions have already lost 7 potential starters in star running back, Christian McCaffrey; All-Pro defensive tackle, Javon Hargrave; linebacker, Dre Greenlaw; defensive end, Drake Jackson; offensive lineman, Jon Feliciano; cornerback, Ambry Thomas; and rookie wide receiver, Ricky Pearsall, to severe injuries, many of them season ending. And…
Earlier on Tuesday morning, All-World NFL Insider, Adam Schefter, broke that the New York Jets are firing 4th year head coach, Robert Saleh, as reported by our own Jordan Sigler. Robert Saleh Fired As Head Coach Of The New York Jets Multiple factors, such as poor team performance in the opening games of the 2024 season, with the team starting 2-3 in the first 5 games; and inadequate play from the offensive side of the ball, have been reported to have been the catalyst for Saleh’s ultimate demise. In addition, many have speculated that 4 x MVP Super Bowl champion,…
