Colorado tight end Caleb Fauria announced Monday that he intends to enter the transfer portal, an announcement made notable by two things: 1.) Fauria is one of a relative few holdovers from the Karl Dorrell era to play for Deion Sanders with Buffaloes, and 2.) the graduate transfer is the son of longtime NFL tight end and former Colorado star Christian Fauria.
“I appreciate my time spent at the University of Colorado and all the memories I have made,” Caleb Fauria wrote on social media, announcing the move.

Today’s edition includes an interview with NFL veteran and “TNF” analyst Andrew Whitworth, the two-man Heisman race, a frustrated Hall of Famer, and a must-read feature on C.J. Stroud.
Jets wide receiver Allen Lazard was inactive for his team’s Black Friday loss to the Dolphins last week, and it’s safe to say it caught the veteran by surprise.
But after speaking with coach Robert Saleh, Lazard said he understood the decision.
“After talking to him, I can see the reasoning for it and everything,” Lazard explained, per the New York Post.
But one element that made the benching sting even worse for Lazard was not being able to play in quarterback Tim Boyle’s team debut.
The Packers are in the thick of the NFC wild-card race after a slow start, and Nick Tice says it’s in big part to the development of quarterback Jordan Love — and the pieces around him.
It’s time to set those Week 13 DFS lineups!
The highest game totals of the week are the Dolphins-Commanders, Niners-Eagles and Broncos-Texans games. We will target players from all those contests in today’s list. The players presented today are expected to return value regardless of salary. Some you will have to spend up for them, but they aren’t on this list unless they are expected to be worth the spend. Look for Friday’s bargains article, which will feature strictly lower-priced players who you can plug in to stay under the salary cap.
Let’s have a look.
Pretty big news week, and we got you covered, with the big post-holiday return of the print mailbag …
From Justin Mason (@Masonjt24): Do you think the current GM in Carolina will remain in Carolina at season’s end? Could Adam Peters replace him?
Justin, I think all things are on the table, and I don’t think anything has been decided yet.
Because David Tepper just went through it, there’s already a working list—he interviewed Kellen Moore, Sean Payton, Mike Kafka, Ken Dorsey, Ejiro Evero, Shane Steichen, Steve Wilks, and Jim Caldwell before hiring Frank Reich in January.

In less than a year, Coach Prime has not only transformed a moribund Colorado football program.
There was a time when I hated Deion Sanders. To be clear: It wasn’t Deion the man. It was Deion the competitor. Deion the opponent.
After he came into the NFL with the Falcons we went at each other twice a year for five seasons as rivals in the NFC West. I couldn’t sleep the night before when I knew he’d be covering me. If Deion was on the opposite side, you knew it was going down the next day.
Sanders was named to the Pro Bowl in four of his five seasons with the Cowboys, and was named to the All-Pro First Team three times in Dallas.
The photo shoot was progressing the way they often do, becoming a war of wills pitting the perfectionists with the cameras and the lighting and the smoke machine against the impatient subjects arrayed in front of them. Between poses, Deion Sanders was getting fidgety.
The coach of Colorado was surrounded by his people: His agent, the school’s chancellor and athletic director, and 99-year-old superfan Peggy Coppom were among the entourage. As the photo crew pored over details, Sanders lobbed one-liners at his sons—social media maven Deion Jr.
