As the Buccaneers quarterback race has tightened, the team released a depth chart ahead of preseason action that listed Baker Mayfield “Or” Kyle Trask as the starting quarterback.
This practice of listing players as interchangeable starters is most prominent in the college game, but various members of NFL media were totally perplexed by the Tampa Bay depth chart when it was released on Tuesday morning.
The first came from ESPN’s Adam Schefter:
Never seen “Or” on a depth chart…. https://t.
The Patriots are signing one of their former star players and Super Bowl champions, Trey Flowers, after a recent workout with the team, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. It’s unclear how much the deal is worth at this time.
Flowers was drafted by New England out of Arkansas back in 2015 and blossomed into a pivotal piece of the Patriots dynasty during the team’s Super Bowl runs in 2016 and 2018. After his team’s Super Bowl LIII win over the Rams, he cashed in and signed a big $90 million deal with the Lions that offseason.
The tight end position in fantasy football is one that many people choose to wait on in their drafts. After all, if you’re not grabbing a truly elite tight end like Travis Kelce or Mark Andrews, is there any reason to prioritize the position? Even if you do choose to draft an elite tight end early due to the positional scarcity advantage, it still could be worth taking a late-round tight end for insurance. Sometimes, there is even an obvious handcuff (think Isaiah Likely for Andrews).
There are two pathways for a tight end to create value for your fantasy football team.
Shohei Ohtani and the Los Angeles Angels are falling apart and Drake is to blame.
The once red-hot team finds themselves in panic mode after losing their seventh game in a row last night, 8-3 to the Giants. The heartbreaking loss occurred after the Angels looked like they had turned their losing ways around, taking a one-run lead into the 9th inning before giving up six runs and adding another L to their loss column.
The timing is terrible for a team that went all-in on keeping MLB’s best, Ohtani, instead of trading him at the deadline.
The Colts and Bucs have QB battles. The Chiefs and Dolphins are among the teams looking for starting CBs.
Yankees manager Aaron Boone made the most of his AL-leading sixth ejection this season, launching into a theatrical display that included a mocking imitation of umpire Laz Diaz.
Orioles broadcaster Kevin Brown has been removed from MASN broadcasts after he made a reference to Baltimore’s lack of success against the Tampa Bay Rays at Tropicana Field in previous years.
A sluggish start gave way to a frenetic second-half performance as the U.S. men’s basketball team completed its five-day training camp ahead of the FIBA World Cup with a 117-74 thrashing of Puerto Rico on Monday night.
Former NFL player Ziggy Hood is currently an assistant football coach and biology teacher at Palo Duro High School in Texas. While his 10-season, 142-game career in the NFL is quite the accomplishment it doesn’t compare to what he recently managed to help stop at his post-football job.
Hood recently spoke with MyHighPlains.com about how he noticed that a student was struggling a bit. He went over and talked with him in hopes of mentoring the young man and would soon discover the student was potentially planning a school shooting.
The quarterback position is the most important in the world of professional football. He has the ball in his hand on the majority of offensive snaps, and his knowledge, skill set and decision-making ultimately determine how an offense will perform. That also means he’s integral in the production of points for our fantasy teams.
As a result, it makes sense for us to know his tendencies.
What position does he target most in the pass attack? Does he take chances downfield? The answers are important to his draft value and of the value of the players around him.
