Eagles QB Jalen Hurts went from good to one of the league’s best in 2022. Jordan Love can follow his path in 2023. Here are other position players who could make the leap.

It’s the morning after the 2023 NFL roster cuts and now that the dust has settled, it’s time to draw some conclusions that could help our fantasy football teams. Whether you have already drafted and are searching the waiver wire for additions or are drafting this weekend, here are 10 roster decisions that could impact your fantasy squads.
With Kyler Murray on the PUP list and Colt McCoy getting cut, the Cardinals may have rookie Clayton Tune starting at quarterback for the first four games of the season.
After failed stints with Teddy Bridgewater, Sam Darnold, Baker Mayfield and a second try with Cam Newton, the Panthers were tired of waiting for their next franchise quarterback, as they jumped from No. 9 to No. 1 in the 2023 NFL draft. With a star-studded staff led by new coach Frank Reich, the Panthers ignored the size concerns and went with Bryce Young, the star quarterback from Alabama with a Heisman Trophy.
Young didn’t walk into an organization that’s in the early stages of a rebuild, which is often the case for No. 1 picks.
The 2023-24 NFL season kick-off is almost here! OutKick is unveiling its team-by-team preview series. Over the past three weeks, we covered the AFC West and NFC West, the AFC North and NFC North and the AFC South and the NFC South. This week, we turn our attention to the final two divisions. And that continues with last year’s third-place finisher in the NFC East, the New York Giants.
New York Giants 2022-23 Record: 9-7-1
New York Giants 2023-24 Win Total Over/Under: 7.
On top of a lackluster coaching performance in the 2022 World Cup, Gregg Berhalter lost his job as USMNT manager due to the way he handled Gio Reyna and the drama that followed. One would imagine he’s tried to resolve things with Reyna since being brought back as manager over two months ago, but that isn’t the case.
Berhlater hasn’t even spoken to Reyna since being named USMNT manager yet again in mid-June. He is seeking advice from mediation experts, for whatever that’s worth, about how to speak to the 20-year-old Reyna, who is arguably the most important piece on the U.S.
Yankees centerfielder Harrison Bader said he found out the news just minutes before the team’s Tuesday game against the Detroit Tigers.
The AFC South is the epitome of why the NFL is so popular.
For two consecutive years, the Jaguars were picking first in the draft. One season later, they’re division champs and hosting a playoff game, rallying from a 27–0 deficit against the Chargers to win. Now, Jacksonville appears ready to roll toward another AFC South crown while trying to take its place among the best teams in the sport.
Looking at the division, the Jaguars are the heavy favorites.
Consider the following list:
2016: Lane Kiffin2017: Brian Daboll2018: Mike Locksley2019: Lincoln Riley2020: Doug Pederson, Press Taylor2021: Nick Sirianni, Shane Steichen, Brian Johnson2022: Sirianni, Steichen, Johnson2023: Sirianni, Johnson
No, that’s not a ranking of football offensive innovators, although it could be. No, it’s not a list of top candidates to run either major college football programs or NFL teams, although it could be that, too. From the above list, only Taylor and Johnson have not been a head coach—and both should be soon.

The young driver survived at Zandvoort, but has a chance to thrive at Monza
Liam Lawson’s Formula 1 debut was quite the baptism by fire.
The young driver did not find out until Friday, after the second practice session, that he would be replacing an injured Daniel Ricciardo in the Dutch Grand Prix. That meant Lawson would have just a single hour of practice at an unfamiliar track before qualifying on Saturday.
In that practice session, wet conditions caused three separate red flags, one of which was for Lawson himself spinning out on the circuit.
Seattle’s Luke Weaver made the fielding play of the year for a pitcher during Tuesday night’s home against the Oakland A’s when he slid to grab a slow-hit grounder and somehow was able to get enough on a throw to first to get the runner on a bang-bang play that left fans in awe.
Weaver, who was pulled from the game in the fourth inning, made this look way too easy. While we’re used to seeing pitchers throwing nasty pitches, we’re not used to seeing them making plays like this.
This play will likely be something he never forgets.
