NFL player: Voting is your right and politics is your business The fact is: Athletes are role models, whether they play for a professional team, in college or in high school. Many of us see that as an opportunity to give back to our community and serve as a voice for the voiceless.At the same time, we need to empower people to use the voice they already have. Every eligible American has a right to make their voice heard through the voting process. Spreading that message is something we all, as citizens, can <h2>James White Authentic Jersey</h2> claim as our area of expertise.I grew up in a family of little means in Oakland, California. I know that many people living in inner cities with lower incomes don’t believe their vote makes a difference and often are forced to be more concerned about putting food on the table than participating in an election.More: School discipline is racist enough for black students like me. Arming teachers will make it worse.Voting is a fundamental American right, so why do some of us still not have it?Black men, where were you when Jasper Williams insulted black women and Aretha Franklin?The facts unfortunately support that notion. The Census Bureau reported that just 54 percent of those who earned less than $50,000 per year voted in the 2016 election. More than 80 percent <h2>Markus Kuhn Authentic Jersey</h2> of people who earned at least $150,000 voted in the same election. Only 70 percent of all voting-age citizens were even registered in the 2016 election, and just 61 percent actually voted overall.Voting matters. Turning out to vote is the way we make politicians care about the issues we care https://www.robgronkowskifanonlie.com/authentic-julian-edelman-jersey-sale-1_74.html about, and it can impact the quality of our health care, education and criminal justice system.Regardless of political party, voters need to know how a candidate’s agenda would affect families and communities. Whether it’s voting for our representatives in Washington, D.C., or a local neighborhood commission, the way our government works and whom it best serves is determined by who shows up to be counted.As athletes, as public figures and as fellow Americans, we can help those who haven’t taken the first step by encouraging them to learn more about our government and providing opportunities to register to vote.Last month, I hosted a community event through my ACES Foundation in Buffalo, New York, that offered STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) labs for middle- and high-school students, a health and wellness expo with free screenings for them and their families, and voter registration through the nonpartisan RISE to Vote campaign of the Ross Initiative in Sports for Equality (RISE). Many of my Bills teammates came out to support the cause and the community.Providing kids with more educational opportunities and access to quality health care is essential. But adding a voter registration element to the event was our way of reminding families that all of these things are connected.Elections are about more than picking winners and losers and affect more than just one issue. They are about how our government determines not only its moral values but also its fiscal values, and decide to what <h2>Julian Edelman Authentic Jersey</h2> extent our country lives up to its core principles of equality and justice for all.As athletes, we’ve been at the forefront of advocating for causes that are most important to our communities. But we can’t https://www.robgronkowskifanonlie.com do it alone. RISE to Vote came and registered Bills players in May who weren’t already registered, and as leaders in our community, we are helping our fans in Buffalo do the same. Empowering citizens to take part in our democracy and encouraging them to be civically engaged ensures that our government truly will work for the people.It’s never too late to get involved.Lorenzo Alexander is a 14-year NFL veteran and two-time Pro-Bowler who is in his third season with the Buffalo Bills.Dion Lewis Jersey Matthew Slater Jersey Lawrence Guy Jersey Cheap Julian Edelman Jersey Cheap Tom Brady Jersey Cheap Tom Brady White Elite Jersey Ted Karras Jersey Terrance Knighton Jersey Austin Carr Jersey Clay Harbor Jersey Jabaal Sheard Jersey James White White Elite Jersey Sebastian Vollmer Jersey Patrick Chung Jersey Drew Bledsoe Jersey Lawrence Guy White Elite Jersey Brandon King Jersey Will Likely Jersey Justin Coleman Jersey
NFL: Cowboys' Jerry Jones won't recognize anthem protocol, patriotism Jones’ hypocrisy, which he ratcheted up Sunday by refusing to comment, apologize or otherwise illuminate his disrespect for the anthem, illustrates why NFL owners are never going to win the fight over the player protests. And it’s not simply because the president is going to dog whistle the issue any chance he gets to rile up his https://www.mccaffreypanthersfan.com/authentic-julius-peppers-jersey-sale-1_63.html base ahead of the mid-term elections.The players know exactly why they’re protesting, and are passionate about the issues that have prompted them to take a knee or raise a fist. They have spent their off days and offseason lobbying legislators, promoting ballot initiatives and meeting with underprivileged and at-risk kids.If you were at the Carolina Panthers' final training camp practice at Wofford College on Monday, in fact, you would have seen veteran wide receiver Torrey Smith on the field afterward, talking to a group of teenage boys. They were from AMIKids White Pines, a residential program for kids convicted of non-violent crimes, and Smith wanted to make sure they knew they can still make something of their lives.“My message to them was about not letting your past define you,” Smith said, according to the Charlotte Observer.“When you make a mistake when you’re young, it doesn’t forgive you. It’s going to hang with you when you want to get a job, when you need a loan, whatever it may be. And sometimes people don’t get it removed. So I just talked to them about not letting that hold them back. Not letting society put pressure on them or hold them back. And figuring out what success looks like for them.”<strong style="margin-right:3px;">More: Roquan Smith ends holdout, agrees to rookie contract with Bears, per reports<strong style="margin-right:3px;">More: Former Tennessee LB A.J. Johnson signs with Broncos after being acquitted of rape charges<strong style="margin-right:3px;">The Ruling Off The Field: Talk with football fans in our new groupSmith, you might recall, was among the Players’ Coalition members who came out for practice earlier this month in T-shirts with <h2>Devin Funchess Authentic Jersey</h2> the slogan #SchoolsNotPrisons to call attention to the number of incarcerated kids.The owners, on the other hand, really don’t care about the anthem, the military, law enforcement or anything else. Their concern is https://www.mccaffreypanthersfan.com/authentic-mike-tolbert-jersey-sale-1_81.html protecting their bottom line, and they see the protests, and Trump’s Tweets about them, as a threat to that.Oh, Jones and son Stephen talk a good game, blustering about how no one in a Cowboys uniform will ever protest during the anthem.“You stand at the anthem, toe on the line,” the elder Jones said July 25.What’s that old John Wooden quote, though? The true test of a man’s character is what he does when no one’s watching? Three days later, Jones kept his Cowboys baseball hat on while a trumpeter played the national anthem during the ceremony to open the team’s training camp. In one video, Stephen Jones even https://www.mccaffreypanthersfan.com/authentic-christian-mccaffrey-jersey-sale-1_20.html appeared to tell his father to remove his hat, and yet the hat stayed on.That, of course, is in violation of the U.S. Code. Title 36, to be exact."During a rendition of the national anthem ... men not in uniform, if applicable, should remove their headdress with their right hand and hold it at the left shoulder, the hand being over the heart,” the code reads. And no, wearing a Cowboys polo shirt doesn’t count as being in uniform.The NFL loves its faux displays of patriotism, and somewhere along the way Jones began confusing them with the real thing. The flyovers, the oversized flags, the Whitney Houston wannabes – those are merely props. It’s the tireless -- and in the players’ case, the thankless – work of <h2>Kelvin Benjamin Authentic Jersey</h2> striving for that more perfect union our founders envisioned that is the truest display of patriotism.It would be nice if Jones recognized that. Short of that, he should at least keep his hypocrisy to himself.And his hat off his head when the anthem plays.***Teddy Williams Jersey Trenton Robinson Jersey Thomas Davis Sr Jersey Cheap Jalen Simmons Jersey Fred Ross Jersey Mike Tolbert White Elite Jersey Nike Julius Peppers Jersey On Sale Kelvin Benjamin Jersey Cheap Efe Obada Jersey Kevin Norwood Jersey Nike Torrey Smith Jersey On Sale Stephen Hill Jersey Dan France Jersey Darrel Young Jersey Cam Newton Jersey Cheap A.J.

He grabbed a short pass from Watson and twice spun away from would-be tacklers to stretch the play.Houston was just 1 of 5 in the red zone on Sunday with Fairbairn making four field goals to help the Texans to the victory.Deshaun Watson threw for 375 yards with a touchdown and an interception for the Texans (2-3) in their second straight overtime victory.Dak Prescott had 208 yards passing and a touchdown but threw two interceptions for the Cowboys (2-3). Elliott was limited to 54 yards rushing.BROWNS 12, RAVENS 9, OTCLEVELAND (AP) — Rookie Greg Joseph's 37-yard field goal — a knuckleball that barely cleared the crossbar — with 2 seconds left in overtime.After rookie quarterback Baker Mayfield drove the Browns (2-2-1) into position, Joseph, signed after Week 2 following Zane Gonzalez's release, lined his kick through the uprights to give Cleveland its first AFC North win in 19 tries.As Browns fans celebrated just the team's second win in two seasons, Joseph was mobbed by his teammates following Cleveland's third OT game in five weeks.The Ravens (3-2) had plenty of chances, but Joe Flacco threw a costly interception in the first half and the Browns blocked one of Justin Tucker's field goal tries.Mayfield passed for 342 yards and threw a 19-yard TD pass in his first start at home. He completed a key third-down pass for 39 yards to Derrick Willies on Cleveland's winning drive.VIKINGS 23, EAGLES 21PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Kirk Cousins threw for 301 yards and one touchdown, Linval Joseph returned a fumble 64 yards for a score and the Vikings won a rematch of last season's NFC championship game.Carson Wentz and the rest of Philadelphia's offense again struggled as the defending Super Bowl champions fell to 2-3.Nick Foles led the Eagles to a 38-7 rout over Case Keenum and Minnesota's top-ranked defense in the title game on his way to earning MVP honors against New England.Trying to rally from a 17-point deficit midway through the third quarter, the Eagles were set up to take the lead after Roc Thomas dropped a backward pass and Nigel Bradham recovered the fumble at the Vikings 30 in the fourth quarter. But Wentz was called for intentional grounding and coach Doug Pederson elected not to let Jake Elliott try a 58-yarder.Dan Bailey, who missed two field goals earlier, nailed a 52-yard field goal to extend the lead to 23-14 with 2:47 left.Wentz fired a 7-yard TD pass to Zach Ertz to cut it to 23-21 with 1:09 left but Adam Thielen recovered the onside kick for the Vikings (2-2-1).RAMS 33, SEAHAWKS 31SEATTLE (AP) — Todd Gurley rushed for three touchdowns, Jared Goff passed for 321 yards and a score and the Rams remained unbeaten.Playing without their top two receivers due to concussions suffered late in the first half, the Rams leaned heavily on Goff, Gurley and wide receiver Robert Woods to escape Seattle and improve to 5-0.Gurley scored on a 2-yard run in the first quarter, and added TDs of 2 and 5 yards in the second half. Gurley's third rushing TD on the second play of the fourth quarter pulled the Rams within 31-30. But new kicker Cairo Santos hooked the extra point attempt and Seattle maintained a one-point lead.Santos atoned for the miss with a 39-yard field goal with 6:05 remaining to give the Rams a 33-31 lead, capping a 61-yard drive that took 4 ½ minutes.Russell Wilson threw for three touchdowns and Seattle (2-3) had a running back top 100 yards rushing for a third straight game as Chris Carson rumbled for 116 yards.CHARGERS 26, RAIDERS 10CARSON, Calif. (AP) — Philip Rivers threw for 339 yards and two touchdowns, the 59th 300-yard passing game of Rivers' 15-year career and his eighth against the Raiders. He completed 22 of 27 passes and had a passer rating of 143.4.Melvin Gordon had 120 yards from scrimmage (58 rushing, 62 receiving). His 1-yard run during the second quarter gave Los Angeles (3-2) a 17-3 lead at halftime.Derek Carr was 24 of 38 for 268 yards for the Raiders (1-4). He accounted for Oakland's lone touchdown in the fourth quarter on a 1-yard pass to Jordy Nelson which brought the Raiders within 27-10.He also had a costly interception in the end zone to Melvin Ingram during the third quarter. The Chargers turned that into a 96-yard, eight-play drive to Rivers' 13-yard TD pass to Virgil Green early in the fourth period.CARDINALS 28, 49ERS 18SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — Josh Rosen threw a 75-yard touchdown pass to fellow rookie Christian Kirk on Arizona's first play from scrimmage and the Cardinals used five takeaways to get their first win.The Cardinals (1-4) were unable to do much more on offense the rest of the way, with their only other scores coming on Josh Bynes' fumble return for a TD and David Johnson TD runs on two short drives after turnovers by the 49ers (1-4).But that proved enough against a San Francisco offense that did little after an opening drive score behind backup quarterback C.J. Beathard.Arizona defensive end Chandler Jones had a dominant day. He had a strip sack and fumble recovery against Beathard in the third quarter, and then batted away the 2-point conversion pass to Pierre Garcon to preserve a 14-12 lead.CHIEFS 30, JAGUARS 14KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Chiefs' beleaguered defense forced Jacksonville quarterback Blake Bortles into five turnovers, including a pick-6 by defensive tackle Chris Jones, and Kansas City merely had to supplement with the NFL's highest-scoring offense.Patrick Mahomes threw for 313 yards and ran for a touchdown, though he also threw his first two picks of the season. Kareem Hunt added 87 yards and a touchdown on the ground as the Chiefs (5-0) marched all over the league's top-ranked defense at soggy Arrowhead Stadium.Tyreek Hill, frequently matched up with the Jaguars' <h2>Saquon Barkley Authentic Jersey</h2> Jalen Ramsey in an entertaining one-on-one affair, had four catches for 61 yards in a game that grew testy on both sides.Jones was ejected in the second half after he dropped an elbow on a Jaguars lineman while both were on the ground following an extra point attempt. Pass rusher Dee Ford joined him in the locker room later in the half when he was whistled for his second unsportsmanlike conduct penalty.Hunt was flagged for head-butting linebacker Telvin Smith Jr. earlier in the game.Jacksonville (3-2) trailed 20-0 at halftime.LIONS 31, PACKERS 23DETROIT (AP) — Matthew Stafford threw two touchdown passes and LeGarrette Blount ran for two scores. Detroit (2-3) earned a win it desperately needed under first-year coach Matt Patricia, going into its bye week.Green Bay (2-2-1) could not overcome uncharacteristic mistakes by veteran kicker Mason Crosby and two-time <h2>Odell Beckham Jr Authentic Jersey</h2> NFL MVP Aaron Rodgers, who lost two fumbles for just the third time in his 14-year career.Crosby missed a career-high four field goals in one game and botched an extra point to boot.Blount had a pair of 1-yard TD runs in the first quarter and Stafford's 8-yard pass to Marvin Jones late in the second quarter put Detroit up 24-0.Aaron Rodgers, missing injured receivers Randall Cobb and Geronimo Allison, threw short TDs to rookie Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Lance Kendricks in the third to pull the Packers within 10 points.Stafford answered with a 5-yard TD pass to Kenny Golladay.JETS 34, BRONCOS 16EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — Isaiah Crowell ran for a franchise-record 219 yards, including a 77-yard touchdown, and Sam Darnold threw two TD passes to Robby Anderson, including a 76-yarder.Darnold also had a TD toss to Terrelle Pryor that sealed the game late in the fourth quarter for the Jets (2-3). The rookie quarterback finished 10 of 22 for 198 yards and the three scores with an interception to help New York to its first win since the season opener.Crowell needed just 15 carries to break the team record of 210 yards rushing set by Thomas Jones in 2009 against Buffalo. New York finished with 323 yards rushing and 512 overall yards.The Jets' defense came up big, too, while playing without coordinator Kacy Rodgers, who is dealing with what coach Todd Bowles has called a "serious" illness. Bowles ran the defense against the Broncos and the Jets kept the pressure on Keenum all game, sacking him four times, two by Leonard Williams.They nearly had one more big play when Marcus Maye intercepted Keenum's final pass and returned it 104 yards before being taken down by Courtland Sutton at the 1 to end the game.Keenum finished 35 of 51 for 377 yards with touchdown passes to Sutton and Demaryius Thomas for the Broncos (2-3).BENGALS 27, DOLPHINS 17CINCINNATI (AP) — Michael Johnson returned an interception for the tying score, and Sam Hubbard went 19 yards with a fumble for the clinching touchdown, rallying the Bengals from a 17-point deficit.With Joe Mixon back from knee surgery, the defense making more game-turning plays in the fourth quarter, Cincinnati (4-1) pulled off its biggest comeback of the season and extended its best start since its 2015 playoff season.The Dolphins (3-2) had plenty of blame to go around for their second-half meltdown, helping the Bengals score those 27 consecutive points with mistakes.Andy Dalton threw an 18-yard touchdown pass to Mixon to start the comeback, completing a drive extended by T.J. McDonald's personal foul on a third-down incompletion. Mixon returned after missing two games following knee surgery and ran for 93 yards in addition to catching three passes.The Dolphins started the season 3-0, but have gotten flattened by New England and shocked by the Bengals in the past two weeks.STEELERS 41, FALCONS 17PITTSBURGH (AP) — Ben Roethlisberger and Antonio Brown connected on two second-half touchdowns and the Steelers pulled away from the Falcons.Roethlisberger finished 19 of 29 for 250 yards and three scores, including a 9-yard strike to Brown in the third quarter and a 47-yard dart to the All-Pro wide receiver early in the fourth as Pittsburgh (2-2-1) put together its most complete performance of the season.Brown caught six passes for 101 yards. His two touchdowns gave him 64 in his career, moving him past Hall of Famer John Stallworth and into second place on the franchise's all-time TD reception list.James Conner ran for 110 yards and two scores and added 75 yards receiving for Pittsburgh, which improved to 7-0-1 all-time against the Falcons (1-4) at home.Matt Ryan passed for 285 yards and a touchdown but was also sacked six times and spent the final minutes of Atlanta's third straight loss on the sideline. Pittsburgh cornerback Joe Haden kept Falcons star wide receiver Julio Jones in check. Shadowing Jones — who entered the game leading the NFL in yards receiving — Haden held Jones to five receptions for 62 yards, all <h2>Olivier Vernon Authentic Jersey</h2> in the fourth quarter with Atlanta well behind.BILLS 13, TITANS 12ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — Stephen Hauschka hit a 46-yard field goal as time expired. Buffalo's defense forced three turnovers, and LeSean McCoy broke from a September slump with a season-best 85 yards rushing. McCoy sparked the decisive drive with a 13-yard catch on third-and-3. And backup running back Chris Ivory had a 9-yard run in getting the Bills across midfield.Rookie quarterback Josh Allen scored on a 14-yard touchdown run but was held in check as a passer. He finished 10 of 19 for 82 yards and an interception.Buffalo (2-3) bounced back from a 22-0 loss at Green Bay last weekend.The Titans struggled on offense in failing to build off a 26-23 overtime win over the defending champion Philadelphia Eagles. After winning each of its past three by three points, Tennessee (3-2) found itself on the losing end of a tightly played game in which the <h2>Janoris Jenkins Authentic Jersey</h2> kickers accounted for six field goals and the teams combined for <h2>Saquon Barkley Authentic Jersey</h2> yards offense.Ryan Succup scored all of Tennessee's 12 points by hitting four field goals, including a 50-yarder that https://www.odellbeckhamjrfanshop.com put the Titans up 12-10 with 4:43 remaining.___Kevin Snead Jersey Olivier Vernon White Elite Jersey Adam Bisnowaty Jersey Jessamen Dunker Jersey Marshall Newhouse Jersey Valentino Blake Jersey Evan Engram Jersey Nike Eli Manning Jersey On Sale Janoris Jenkins White Elite Jersey Bobby Hart Jersey Orleans Darkwa Jersey Jordan Williams Jersey Nat Berhe Jersey Sterling Shepard Jersey Odell Beckham Jr White Elite Jersey Damon Harrison Jersey Josh Banks Jersey Devin Taylor Jersey Harry Carson Jersey
NFL draft 2018 rankings: Top 40 prospects https://www.jamaladamsjerseysale.com/authentic-leonard-williams-jersey-sale-1_96.html list not topped by QBs 2. Quenton Nelson, G, Notre Dame: With overwhelming power and nimble feet, he might be a generational prospect, albeit at a position that could limit his value relative to the rest of the top 10 picks. Nelson is one of the draft's best bets to be a long-term standout.3. Josh Rosen, QB, UCLA: The most polished of all the passers available, he offers the refined mechanics and quick processing needed to be a distributor at the center of an offense. So long as Rosen develops a better feel for pressure and cuts down on forced throws, he should have no trouble consistently picking apart defenses in the short-to-intermediate area that now largely defines most passing attacks.<strong style="margin-right:3px;">More: Josh Allen might be No. 1 pick of NFL draft, but he's not among our top 40 prospects<strong style="margin-right:3px;">More: Who needs to draft a quarterback? Ranking NFL teams' need from 1-32<strong style="margin-right:3px;">More: Why Louisville quarterback Lamar Jackson is the most intriguing player in the NFL Draft4. Roquan Smith, LB, Georgia: When he's on the field, Smith stands a good chance to be the first defender to find the ball on a given play. Displaying range both as a tackler and in coverage, he aces nearly every test for an off-ball linebacker.5. Derwin James, S, Florida State: Whether he's working in coverage, at the line of scrimmage or as a blitzer, James is a lightning strike capable of short-circuiting any offense. Assuming he settles down a bit as a tackler, he should be a do-everything leader in the secondary. 6. Bradley Chubb, DE North Carolina State: Stouter and more polished than most pass rushers at this stage, Chubb doesn't bring the elite speed off the edge typically seen from top-10 picks. Yet there's little questioning https://www.jamaladamsjerseysale.com/authentic-darrelle-revis-jersey-sale-1_39.html his ability to close out on opponents in the backfield thanks to his <h2>Robby Anderson Authentic Jersey</h2> acceleration, strength and hand usage.7. Sam Darnold, QB, Southern California: Very nearly the total package, he has perhaps the best combination of easy athleticism and leadership of any passer. Lapses with his footwork and a penchant for turnovers (22 last season) need to be addressed. But his ability to throw comfortably to every level of the field, as well as extend and create plays on his own, makes him a rare prospect. 8. Denzel Ward, CB, Ohio State: Fluid athleticism and a well-rounded skill set should help him follow in the steps of 2017 defensive rookie of the year Marshon Lattimore and the Buckeyes' other recent first-round defensive backs. Matching up with taller receivers could prove troublesome, but Ward has shown he can win with the ball in the air. 9. Minkah Fitzpatrick, S, Alabama: If he strictly operated as an outside corner, he might be a consensus pick as the top defensive prospect in the draft. But with a proven track record working in the slot as well as at safety and outside linebacker, he projects as a versatile leader who will be at ease with an assortment of coverage responsibilities.10. Baker Mayfield, QB, Oklahoma: The Heisman Trophy winner is hardly the prototype of an NFL passer at just over 6-0 and 215 pounds. But his rapid-fire delivery and prowess throwing into tight windows elevate him to a level other quarterbacks of comparable statures have struggled to reach. Though Mayfield thrives operating outside of an offense's structure, he must calm some of the more frenetic elements of his playing style.11. Calvin Ridley, WR, Alabama: In a muddled receiver class, his deep speed and comfort creating his own separation leave him as the top pass-catching weapon available. Consistently beating press coverage will be his foremost challenge at the next level.12. Tremaine Edmunds, LB, Virginia Tech: At 6-5 and 253 pounds with explosive speed, he might have the highest ceiling of any defender in this draft. If Edmunds can hone his instincts to keep ball carriers in front of him, he will be a hazard either whether working in the middle or off the edge.13. DJ Moore, WR, Maryland: Finally getting his due over the last few months, he's become one of the draft's biggest post-combine risers. With breakaway speed and impressive toughness for his size, Moore should make life hard on opposing corners.14. Harold Landry, DE/OLB, Boston College: A quick burst and acrobatic bend make him difficult to handle off the edge, and he has more than enough ways to take advantage of an off-balance blocker. Don't expect Landry to anchor against the run, though. 15. Josh Jackson, CB, Iowa: The Football Bowl Subdivision leader with eight interceptions still has plenty of room to develop given that he has just one year of experience as a starter.16. Jaire Alexander, CB, Louisville: Overshadowed after an injury-plagued season, he has since reaffirmed that he is both smooth and aggressive, with the ability to contribute early whether outside or in the slot.17. Isaiah Wynn, G, Georgia: If he were taller than 6-2 with more wingspan, he would be a lock as a top-20 selection. Even at guard, Wynn's comfort in both mirroring pass rushers and paving holes in the run game should make him a high-end starter.18. Derrius Guice, RB, LSU: Issuing <h2>Leonard Williams Authentic Jersey</h2> a warning to any team that might pass on him, Guice said, "If you don't draft me, I'm going to give your defense hell." That's an apt characterization of his rugged running style, which could be problematic for his opponents if he stays healthy (or himself if he doesn't).19. Sony Michel, RB, Georgia: The shiftiness and acceleration are reminiscent of reigning offensive rookie of the year Alvin Kamara, and the fellow Southeastern Conference standout could carve out a similar all-purpose role if he resolves some issues with his patience and ball security.20. Maurice Hurst, DT, Michigan: His initial burst and ability to fire through gaps are unmatched among interior defenders in this class. With his heart condition cleared, he could become the latest undersized defensive tackle to become a disruptive force. 21. Marcus Davenport, DE, Texas-San Antonio: Pairing a lengthy (6-6, 264 pounds) frame with impressive speed, Davenport has the tools to be a terror off the edge. A slow build-up out of his stance and underdeveloped feel for pass rushing, however, could diminish the early returns on that athleticism.22. Lamar Jackson, QB, Louisville: The playmaking ability is impossible to ignore. Now it's up to Jackson and his future team to figure out how to harness his talent as both a runner and thrower while cleaning up his footwork and continuing to bring him along as a pocket passer.23. Will Hernandez, G, Texas-El Paso: A mauler in the run game, he is a throwback (check the neck roll) who should set the right tone for almost any line.24. Rashaan Evans, LB, Alabama: He'll make his living working sideline to sideline in coverage, though he should also be an asset on blitzes.25. Da'Ron Payne, DT, Alabama: Commanding double teams and anchoring at the point of attack is his game, though coaches will demand better leverage.26. Vita Vea, DT, Washington: As a run stuffer, he is already operating at a pro level. But he runs the risk of topping out as a two-down space eater if he can't translate his impressive movement ability into a more consistent game plan as a pass rusher.27. Mike McGlinchey, OT, Notre Dame: Struggles with speed rushers could yield some early turbulence in the NFL, but McGlinchey brings a strong punch as the best overall offering at tackle.28. Taven Bryan, DT, Florida: "The Wyoming Wild Man" either will be a defensive line coach's dream or disappointment, as he oscillates between dispatching opposing linemen and taking himself out of plays with his overly aggressive tendencies. 29. James Daniels, C, Iowa: Flexible and fluid on the move, he shapes up to be the top center in this class with lots of room for growth. 30. Leighton Vander Esch, LB, Boise State: Still learning to tap into his considerable physical skills after only one year as a starter, Vander Esch should only grow more comfortable both in pursuit and coverage over time. 31. Connor Williams, G/OT, Texas: He might not end up the franchise left tackle some expected him to be, but teams won't have trouble finding a place for one of the draft's best technicians.32. Anthony Miller, WR, Memphis: More than a slot maven, Miller will make life easy for any quarterback with his giant catch radius and outstanding body control.33. Isaiah Oliver, CB, Colorado: His physical traits point toward a No. 1 cornerback who can thrive in press coverage, though his technique will require refinement. 34. Justin Reid, S, Stanford: With experience playing an assortment of roles, he has the savvy and skill set to be the versatile piece defensive coordinators crave in the secondary.35. Mike Hughes, CB, Central Florida: His toughness and physical style should make him a pest for opposing receivers, so long as he lands in a scheme heavy on man coverage.36. Nick Chubb, RB, Georgia: Lacking the same explosive fluidity as Georgia backfield mate Michel, Chubb nevertheless demonstrates the know-how needed to be consistently effective in tight quarters.37. Billy Price, C, Ohio State: A pectoral injury at the combine pushed him off the radar a bit. But Price's strength, sound approach and leadership will keep him in high demand.38.

NFL: One of these 7 teams will win the Super Bowl Is Blake Bortles still the quarterback? Is the quarterback position still the most important in football? The answer to both of those questions is "yes," unfortunately for Jacksonville. We should also point out that the Jaguars needed tremendous injury luck and one of the league's easiest 2017 schedules just to make it to 10-6. Forget about the Super Bowl, a reversal in luck could see this up-and-coming team miss out on the playoffs entirely, especially if Bortles continues making throws like this…On paper, the these Packers have enough talent to win a Super Bowl, but Aaron Rodgers isn't likely to get less injury prone as he ages (and he's broken the same clavicle twice now), the pass rush is still an issue and the cornerback group is made up of rookies and second-year pros. The best teams in this league are the ones that can pass and defend the pass. If Rodgers gets hurt, the pass rush performs as expected and the young corners disappoint, Green Bay will struggle to do either.There are plenty of reasons to be optimistic about this Saints team, but there are just as many reasons to expect a little regression. In fact, we actually saw that already start to happen toward the end of the season when the running game that the team leaned on so heavily during its eight-game win streak tailed off. And then there's Drew Brees' age. He's still one of the very best quarterbacks in the league, but we can't ignore the obvious signs of decline - namely, the lack of downfield throws this Ha Ha Clinton-Dix Authentic Jersey offense used to run on. On the other side of the ball, it's still Cameron Jordan or bust when it comes to pass rush. And the team decided to trade up for Marcus Davenport, a raw pass rusher, instead of adding more pieces to the defense. If there isn't some serious in-house improvement, it's hard to see where this team got demonstrably better over the offseason.Now that that's out of the way, onto this year's pack of Super Bowl contenders, ranked by how much confidence we have in them…Why they're on this list: I mean, do I really need to explain myself here? Bill Belichick is still https://www.rodgersfanstore.com/authenti...-sale-1_25.html here and still the best coach in football. Tom Brady is still here and still really https://www.rodgersfanstore.com/authenti...-sale-1_39.html good at playing football. Rob Gronkowski decided not to retire (like that was ever going to happen). Julian Edelman is back (or will be back after a PED suspension). Brandin Cooks and Danny Amendola are gone, but losing receivers has never been an issue for Brady. The offensive line has question marks, but the last time the Pats had a questionable line, in 2014, they ended up winning it all anyway.So, yeah, the offense is going to be good. The defense should be a lot better than it was a year ago, too. Adrian Clayborn and Derek Rivers will improve a pass rush that took the 2017 season off. The run defense was putrid a season ago, but Danny Shelton is now clogging the middle and Dont'a Hightower returns from injury. Losing Malcolm Butler hurts, but Belichick knows how to scheme around a weak cornerback group.The Patriots are going to win their 13 games, secure home-field advantage and the rest should take care of itself. Unless, of course…Why they won't win the Super Bowl: Tom Brady could get hurt. He's 41, and older players tend to have a harder time staying healthy, no matter how much avocado ice cream they consume. Playing behind a bad offensive line increases the probability of Brady suffering an injury, which would bring this whole thing crashing down. I know what you're thinking: 2008! Brady went down in Week 1 and the Pats still won 11 games. They also had Randy Moss and Wes Welker and a far more talented defense.Why they're on this list: One of the league's deepest rosters only got stronger in the offseason. The stacked defensive line added a Pro Bowler in Sheldon Richardson, who will make Mike Zimmer's pressure packages nastier than they already were. Stud RB Dalvin Cook returns from an injury that ended his rookie season back in September. And the team gave Kirk Cousins $84 million guaranteed. No big deal.With Cook returning and Cousins now in the fold, Minnesota's offense should be better. At least, in theory. The NFL's best defense could also be better if Richardson is fully engaged and the young corners take a step forward. Everson Griffen looked like a Defensive Player of the Year candidate before a midseason injury stifled his play down the stretch. He should be healthy, allowing Zimmer to rely less on the blitz to disrupt quarterbacks.Heading into Championship Sunday, the Vikings appeared to be the best team in football. Then "38-7" happened. Minnesota could have easily just opted to "run it back," but instead actively tried to improve the roster. And succeeded.Why they won't win the Super Bowl: Cousins may very well be an upgrade over Case Keenum, but that doesn't necessarily mean he'll be able to exceed what the new Broncos starter was able to do a season ago. And one of the things that made Keenum so great was his ability to create when his pass protection broke down. That's never been one of Cousins strengths. The architect of the offense is also gone, with Pat Shurmur headed to New York. Who knows how this very talented supporting cast will adapt to a new play-caller and quarterback?Why they're on this list: Of course we had to include the Super Bowl champs on this list. But it's not like the Eagles don't belong here after a proactive offseason allowed Philly to somehow improve its roster after winning it all. That never happens in the NFL, but here we are.The team's biggest strength, its nightmarish defensive line, is somehow better after adding Michael Bennett, who is still really good, and Haloti Ngata, who is still really big, to the rotation, which is still being led by the likes of Fletcher Cox and Brandon Graham. Behind them, Jordan Hicks is back at linebacker. And the secondary, the team's lone weakness a season ago, should be better with another year of seasoning.Of course, this offense playing to its full potential is wholly dependent on Carson Wentz's Jaire Alexander Authentic Jersey knee. Sure, Nick Foles looked good during his magical playoff run, but looked lost before that and did not inspire confidence in his first preseason start. Even if the Eagles don't get stellar play out of the quarterback position, the offensive line should be dominant once again. The receiving corps will be better than it was a year ago with Mike Wallace offering an upgrade over Torrey Smith as a field stretcher and Alshon Jeffery, Nelson Algohor and Mack Hollins all returning. The Eagles lost tight ends Trey Burton and Brent Celek, which would be a concern if rookie Dallas Goedert wasn't tearing it up in preseason.Wentz will need time to get back to full strength, but, come playoff time, this team could be even better than it was a year ago. That's a scary thought.Why they won't win the Super Bowl: The Eagles' passing game was in a league of its own on third down and in the red zone, which is why the offense was so good in 2017. That's not a bad thing, obviously. But it also doesn't mean much for the upcoming season. Third down and red zone performance doesn't have a strong year-to-year correlation, so expect some regression to the mean for this offense in 2018. Throw in some Wentz rustiness or Foles crashing back down to earth, and you'll have an offense that isn't nearly as effective as it was a season ago.The offense will fall even further if LT Jason Peters doesn't return to full strength after tearing his ACL at age 35. Or if the defensive line isn't healthy. Both Timmy Jernigan and Graham underwent offseason surgery, and Chris Long and Michael Bennett are both on the wrong side of 30. The 2017 team won games in the trenches. It'll need both lines to be healthy if it's going to do the same in 2018.Why they're on this list: There's an argument to be made that the Steelers are the best team in football. At least on paper. This is certainly the most talented offense. Pittsburgh lost Martavis Bryant, and, you're not going to believe this, immediately found a replacement (possibly an upgrade) in James Washington, who is already making ridiculous plays in his first preseason. The offensive line is good across the board and has been playing together for years. Le'Veon Bell might not be worth a big-money investment but he's a valuable weapon. And, oh yeah, Antonio Brown might be the best receiver since Jerry Rice. We didn't even mention Ben Roethlisberger, who is still a top-10 passer.Pittsburgh's defense has let the team down in recent years, but it was quietly pretty good last season, finishing ninth in defensive DVOA. Losing Ryan Shazier hurts, and the team is banking on John Bostic to fill that massive void (spoiler: he won't), but there is enough talent on the defensive depth chart to make up for that loss. T.J. Watt and Bud Dupree are a good pair of edge rushers. The interior line is only underrated because all 3-4 defensive linemen are. Artie Burns is improving at corner. Joe Haden seems to have gotten all the Browns stink off him. And the safety position - the unit's weakest link a year ago - should be better after the team signed Morgan Burnett and drafted Terrell Edmunds.Even if the Steelers defense takes a major step back without Shazier on the field, it may not matter if the offense plays to its potential under new offensive coordinator Randy Fichtner, who, at the very least, won't be feuding with Ben Roethlisberger throughout the season. Pittsburgh is going to score a million points this season. That's only a slight exaggeration.Why they won't win the Super Bowl: Well, for one, Tom Brady still exists and has spent the last decade filleting the Steelers defense. And this team is still liable to drop one or two games it has no business dropping, which, invariably, allows New England to secure home-field advantage. Roethlisberger is injury prone, Bell is always good for a missed game or two and Mike Tomlin is bound to lose this team a game with terrible game management.The Falcons being included on this list may come as a surprise, but I challenge you to pick out an obvious area of weakness on this roster. Contrary to Jalen Ramsey's opinion, Matt Ryan is properly rated as a top-10 quarterback. Devonta Freeman and Tevin Coleman form the best running back duo in the league. Atlanta added first-round pick Calvin Ridley to a receiving corps already featuring Julio Jones and Mohamed Sanu. The offensive line is among the best in the NFL.Dan Quinn's defense didn't live up to expectations in 2017, but there's talent at every level. Grady Jarrett is a monster in the middle of the line and should be even better with space eater Deadrin Senat plugging up the A-gap. Those two monsters in the middle should make Vic Beasley's job a lot easier this season. Deion Jones is Davante Adams Authentic Jersey a true sideline-to-sideline linebacker. Keanu Neal has taken up Kam Chancellor's mantle as the league's premier intimidator at the safety position. Ricardo Allen is as solid as they come as a centerfield safety. And as if there wasn't already enough talent on this defense, Desmond Trufant, Robert Alford and Brian Poole form an elite cornerback group.In short, the Falcons are LOADED. And remember, this team was a goal line stand away from knocking off the eventual Super Bowl champs in last year's Divisional Round. The only thing that can stop this team is…Why they won't win the Super Bowl: Coaching. Dan Quinn is solid, though his game management skills aren't necessarily a strength. But the real concern is offensive coordinator Steve Sarkisian, who failed to find the right play-call in two of Atlanta's biggest games last year. First there was the ill-fated jet sweep on the goal line against New England. He then followed that up with a terribly uncreative call on fourth down against the Eagles in the playoff loss.

Don't expect NFL to institute a national anthem policy soon "The focus of the players' association, the NFL and all of our clubs and our players is to focus on the efforts our players have continually brought (forth) as their issues in their communities and how can we make our communities better," Goodell said after the fall meetings concluded."They're incredibly passionate about that. They have brought these issues greater awareness and they are working in Devin McCourty Authentic Jersey their communities to try to make their communities better and they are working on the Rob Gronkowski Authentic Jersey issues, on criminal justice reform. I've been on listen-and-learn tours with our players. Owners have been on listen-and-learn tours. Our players are obviously out there and you see a tremendous amount of work being done."Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones indicated a policy isn't forthcoming."I think right now we are going forward just as we entered the season," Jones said.He added: "One of the owners stood up and said: 'We have really gotten in a place that's positive and not that we weren't, but we benefited from this.' And, I agree, in relationships and sorting through where we want to go, and I'm so impressed with the social programs that the clubs and the players have engaged in."In May, the NFL passed a rule that forbids players from sitting or taking a knee if they are on the field or sidelines during "The Star-Spangled Banner," but allowed them https://www.robgronkowskifanonlie.com/au...-sale-1_17.html to stay in the locker room if they wish. The league left it up to teams on how to punish players.

Last month, coalition members including Malcolm Jenkins, Benjamin Watson, Demario Davis and Chris Long conducted Chris Hogan Authentic Jersey work in the areas of bail reform and criminalization of poverty. Seattle's Doug Baldwin attended bail hearings and met with grass-roots organizations and the public defender's office regarding the need to end cash bail in King County on Sept. 25.Coalition members have focused on voting this month as well as voter restoration rights, plus their ongoing work on bail reform."The focus has been on listening, learning, understanding what the players want to accomplish in their community, the impact they want to have and supporting them," Goodell said. "Our clubs have done that at historic levels and we've gone over that the last couple of days. I'm proud of what our clubs are doing. I'm proud of what our players are doing. We're all working together to try to address those issues, and from my standpoint that always helps make relationships more productive when there's respect and understanding and agreement to work together to try to make things better."When you have people working together and listening to one another and that level of respect, I think everyone feels better and I think that's Jimmy Garoppolo Authentic Jersey important, but the key thing is there's a lot of work to be done."In 2016, then-49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick began protesting police brutality, social injustice and racial inequality by kneeling during the national anthem, and the demonstration spread to other players and teams.Critics led by President Donald Trump called the players unpatriotic and Trump even said NFL owners should fire any player who refused to stand during the anthem.

Kansas City Chiefs prove they can be more than Patrick Mahomes' show Facing a vaunted Jaguars defense that entered the game having limited foes to the fewest points and yards through the first quarter of the season, Mahomes and Co. were Thomas Davis Sr Authentic Jersey not in typical showtime mode. The second-year passer threw his first two interceptions of the season, and Jacksonville proved stingy in the red zone.But five takeaways of their own (four interceptions and a fumble recovery) provided ample support and enabled the Chiefs to prove that Devin Funchess Authentic Jersey they can win ugly. That’s a must in this league, particularly late in the year where the path turns most arduous with elite teams facing off with postseason implications and seasons on line.“It’s a team. We don’t point fingers,” said Chiefs coach Andy Reid, whose team opened the year with a 5-0 mark for the second straight season. “We know every week – and I’d include special teams – but we expect every phase to pick up the other phase if one phase is down. We’ve done that so far and we need to keep that going.”More: Steelers coach Mike Tomlin: Some NFL penalties are 'a joke'More: Panthers' Eric Reid resumes protest, kneels during national anthem in NFL returnThe Chiefs learned a lot about their quarterback in the initial weeks of the season. They saw he could direct their deep and talented offense with great effectiveness, producing a league-leading 36 points a game. They learned last week he could play from behind after he erupted from a slow start to provide the second-half heroics to win at Denver.But throughout the first four games of the season, throughout his 90 completions and 138 pass attempts, and the 14 touchdowns passes, Mahomes had yet to throw an interception. So, when he did so for the first time on Sunday with 4:29 left in the second quarter, Reid didn’t know what to expect.“I was like, ‘How’s he going to react?’,” the coach said, his eyes darting back and forth as he recreated the moment and recalled the uncertainty that he felt. “But it didn’t faze him. He just kept going, kept firing and made some big plays. … It was good to see it didn’t faze him. You’re going to throw those if you’re a quarterback in the National Football League.”Mahomes was able to keep gunning because he had virtually no time to even reflect on his first interception – a throw to Tyreek Hill over the middle that sailed high because the quarterback admittedly threw too hard. Linebacker Dee ford stripped Jacksonville quarterback Blake Bortles on the very next play and Kansas City recovered. So, Mahomes found himself back on the field just 15 seconds later and moved downfield and into field goal range for a kick that gave them a 13-0 lead.“That goes back all the way to college and being with Coach Reid,” said Mahomes, who also shrugged off a second-half pick and kept throwing with aggression. “You can’t let that stuff bother you. He says that in football, you have to have a short memory, especially playing the quarterback position, and the defense got the ball right back to us and we just got back to trying to go down the field and put points on the board.”And providing further cushion was defensive end Chris Jones, who shortly after returned an ugly Bortles pass 20 https://www.mccaffreypanthersfan.com/aut...-sale-1_63.html yards for a touchdown.All game long, the Chiefs managed to move the ball. Mahomes completed passes for gains of 51, 40, 33 and 30 yards. Tight end Travis Kelce had 100 receiving yards, wide receiver Sammy Watkins had 78 and running back Kareem Hunt rushed for 87 yards and a touchdown.But the success in the red zone didn’t come as in previous games. The Chiefs went 2-for-4 inside the 20-yard line, and they also struggled on third downs, converting on just four Christian McCaffrey Authentic Jersey of 12 attempts. That had a lot to do with the effectiveness of the Jaguars defense.“When you play a team like that, you’re not going to score a ton, usually,” Mahomes said. “But defense stepped up, made a lot of plays, put us in great field position and I just tried to go out there, maximize the opportunities they gave us.”The Chiefs defense expected that this game could come down to their contributions, players said. They knew that because they struggle against the run (ranking last in the league allowing 5.7 yards a carry), the Jaguars would try to dominate in that phase of the game and then open up their passing attack.Sure enough, the Chiefs did give up chunks of yards on the ground early on, but they made adjustments and began limiting the visitors.“We realized everyone was trying to do too much,” defensive end Jarvis Jenkins told USA TODAY Sports while pulling on his socks in front of his locker. “But once we all started focusing https://www.mccaffreypanthersfan.com/aut...-sale-1_81.html on staying in our gaps and doing our individual jobs. We started taking that away.”The takeaways made an even bigger difference. With the Jaguars in a sizable hole, the offense had no choice but to throw the ball with frequency. Blake Bortles showed his deficiencies and racked up four interceptions as the Chiefs defense capitalized.“It just shows that every game is not going to be a shootout. It’s going to be a battle and the defense has to step up. We stepped up to the plate today,” Jenkins said.The Chiefs’ ability to win in this fashion probably carries even more importance because of whom the team plays next.Bill Belichick will have had 10 days to study and prepare for this game because his New England Patriots played last Thursday, rolling to a 38-24 win over the Indianapolis Colts. Belichick will have every Chiefs weakness pinpointed, so Kansas City’s players must be comfortable with taking different paths to victory.Thanks to their collective effort against Jacksonville, there will be no panic if they do have to find alternative ways to attack, Mahomes and teammates said. “That was a confidence-building win that the defense could step up and win games,” Mahomes said. “It showed the world that we can win with every phase of the game.”Follow Mike Jones on Twitter @ByMikeJones.Ryan Kalil Jersey Torrey Smith White Elite Jersey Customize Jersey Trenton Robinson Jersey Damian Parms Jersey Brenton Bersin Jersey Mike Tolbert White Elite Jersey Stephen Curry Jersey Toby Johnson Jersey Andy Lee Jersey Darrel Young Jersey Nike Julius Peppers Jersey On Sale Nike Mike Tolbert Jersey On Sale Gabriel Mass Jersey Bryan Cox Jersey Torrey Smith Jersey Cheap Cameron Artis-Payne Jersey Eric Wallace Jersey Graham Gano Jersey

Redskins riding run defense, rushing offense to 4-2 start "It starts up front, in the trenches," Gruden said Monday. "Those big guys are doing a great job."He was talking about Washington's defensive front, but he also might as well have been referring to the offensive line, which is led by left tackle Trent Williams and right guard Brandon Scherff and has been leading the way for Janoris Jenkins Authentic Jersey Peterson.So bad against the run for so long, the defense is suddenly stout as can be. It limited the NFL's No. 2 rusher, Ezekiel Elliott, to 34 yards — his second-lowest output in the league — in the Redskins' 20-17 victory over the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday. Elliott's longest gain was 6 yards.That came a week after the Redskins limited Christian McCaffrey to 20 yards rushing and the entire Carolina team to 81 during a 23-17 win against the Panthers."We're making teams earn every blade of grass they get," Gruden said.Now comes another test for Washington, which leads the NFC East: rookie sensation Saquon Barkley and the last-place New York Giants next Sunday.The Redskins are giving up only 87.3 yards on the ground each game, third in the NFL. One key: Washington is one of two clubs to not have allowed a 20-yard run this season. Minnesota is the other."It's as much of a mindset as anything," linebacker Ryan Kerrigan said about stopping Elliott and the Cowboys, who had won four games in a row against the Redskins. "We definitely have taken it personally that they've had so much https://www.odellbeckhamjrfanshop.com/au...-sale-1_38.html success running the ball against us the past couple of years."Truly, everyone has.Last season, Washington owned the worst run defense in the NFL, with opponents rushing for 134.1 yards per game. In 2016, it was 24th of 32 clubs at 119.8 per game allowed. And in 2015, 26th at 122.6 per game allowed.So this season has seen what Gruden called "a major improvement," one he attributed in part to the pair of first-round draft picks out of Alabama, Allen (who missed 11 games as a rookie in 2017 because of an injury) and rookie Payne.Safety D.J. Swearinger nicknamed that duo the Alabama Wall.On the other side of the ball, Gruden has embraced the running game much more than in his previous four seasons as a head coach in Washington.After Peterson's 99 https://www.odellbeckhamjrfanshop.com/au...-sale-1_96.html yards on 24 carries against the Cowboys Saquon Barkley Authentic Jersey — the fourth time in six games this season he's topped 95 — the Redskins are third in the league at 29.5 runs per game and 14th at 119 yards per game.Those numbers are way up from the full 2017 season, when the team ended up ranked 24th with 25.1 runs per game and 28th with 90.5 yards per game.Under Gruden, the Redskins have never finished a season averaging more than 26.8 carries or 106 yards per game.They've also never had Peterson, who was available to any team when the Redskins signed him in the preseason."Adrian has been a big lift for us, without a doubt. We are 4-2, and he is big a part of it," Gruden said. "So we just have to keep feeding him."Notes: Gruden said that CB Fabian Moreau sprained his ankle and RT Morgan Moses injured his elbow against Dallas. CB Quinton Dunbar, who missed Sunday's game with what the team said was a bruised shin, was going to get checked out to see whether he had a https://www.odellbeckhamjrfanshop.com/au...-sale-1_50.html nerve problem.___Davis Webb Jersey DJ Fluker Jersey Nike Brandon Marshall Jersey On Sale Janoris Jenkins Jersey Cheap Keenan Robinson Jersey Larry Donnell Jersey Saquon Barkley Jersey Cheap Duke Ihenacho Jersey Owa Odighizuwa Jersey Michael Strahan Jersey Kerry Wynn Jersey Phil McConkey Jersey Justin Pugh Jersey Colin Thompson Jersey Jerome Lane Jersey Brandon Marshall Jersey Cheap Janoris Jenkins White Elite Jersey Andre Williams Jersey Roger Lewis Jersey

NFL 2018: Saints, Falcons, Panthers headline tough NFC South Yet, in today's NFL, fortunes have been known to vacillate widely from one year to the next."Obviously, there is parity in our league," Saints coach Sean Payton said. "What I mean by that is, teams very quickly can improve themselves in the division. You see that each year."Payton has urged his players to take the approach that they are "starting from square Jamal Adams Authentic Jersey one and it's an entirely different year."But it's tough to entirely drown out the expectations surrounding a club that won 11 of its last 14 regular-season games and beat the Panthers in the playoffs before nearly advancing to the NFC title game. Only an unlikely 61-yard touchdown pass play by the Vikings as time expired prevented the Saints from going to Philadelphia.Much of New Orleans' success stemmed from young players — namely running back Alvin Kamara and cornerback Marshon Lattimore, the 2017 offensive and defensive rookie award winners. Many other key players— Pro Bowl receiver Michael Thomas, right guard Ryan Ramczyk, safeties Vonn Bell and Marcus Williams, defensive tackles Sheldon Rankins and David Onyemata, cornerback Ken Crawley, and linebacker Alex Anzalone — have been in the NFL two or fewer years.That gave the Saints the luxury of approaching the past offseason with the mission of refining rather than overhauling."We probably feel like we have fewer holes," general manager Mickey Loomis said. "Overall, we've got a young team ... and I'm anxious to see how those guys develop and get better — and I think we feel good about that."Here are some other NFC South story lines in 2018:ELDER STATESMAN: For all of the Saints' promising youth, their most important player still might be their eldest: 39-year-old Drew Brees.There's little evidence of a drop-off yet. Last season he completed an NFL-record 72 percent of his passes and his eight interceptions were his lowest since throwing seven with the Chargers in 2004.But he might have to throw more this season than last — at least early on. Pro https://www.jamaladamsjerseysale.com Bowl running back Mark Ingram is suspended the first four games for use of a banned substance.The good news for New Orleans is the entire offensive line is intact after strong https://www.jamaladamsjerseysale.com/aut...-sale-1_10.html showings in both the running and passing games in 2017."If they're playing well, then you're able to open up the offense in a way that makes us very dangerous," Brees said. "This group is one of the best we've had."Brees also has two of his top receivers back in Thomas and Ted Ginn Jr., along with two promising new targets in free-agent acquisition Cameron Meredith and rookie Tre'Quan Smith.STAR TREATMENT: The Falcons have taken measures to make sure two key playmakers, wide receiver Julio Jones and running back Devonta Freeman, are healthy to start the season. Neither played in a preseason game.Jones said he was focused on his health when he missed mandatory minicamp. He had minor surgery on his left foot after the 2016 season and had two ankle injuries, plus injuries to his back, ribs, thumb and knee last season. Even so, he had 88 catches for 1,https://www.jamaladamsjerseysale.com/aut...-sale-1_10.html yards and three touchdowns.Last year, Freeman had Julian Stanford Authentic Jersey two concussions and was slowed by a knee problem.The Falcons led the NFL in scoring in their 2016 Super Bowl season but fell back to the middle of the pack last year.Quarterback Matt Ryan doesn't sound worried whether Jones or Freeman will be in form when it counts"Not with those two," Ryan said. "They both have played so much football and they both practice so much that I don't really see them missing a beat."ANOTHER GEAR: The Panthers sought to get faster in the offseason to compete with the Saints, who beat them three times last season, including in the wild-card round. They've added speed at wide receiver, trading for Torrey Smith, signing free agent Jarius Wright and drafting D.J. Moore from Maryland in the first round. Coach Ron Rivera is also hoping 2017 second-round pick Curtis Samuel can stay healthy, unlike last season. Those receivers and versatile running back Christian McCaffrey could give QB Cam Newton a lot of reasons https://www.jamaladamsjerseysale.com/aut...sale-1_121.html not to run himself.Carolina also went in the Saints' backyard to get help on defense, drafting LSU cornerback Donte Jackson — considered one of the fastest players in college a year ago — in the second round.TAKING ON WATER: The Bucs lost 10 of 13 following a 2-1 start a year ago, missing the playoffs for the 10th consecutive season. Their chances of escaping the division cellar and ending the long drought will be impacted by how they play without QB Jameis Winston, who'll miss the first three games while serving a suspension for violating the NFL's personal conduct policy.After opening on the road at New Orleans, home games follow against defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia and Pittsburgh. An 0-3 start could be difficult to overcome, even if Winston plays well when he returns.PREDICTED ORDER OF FINISH: Saints, Falcons, Panthers, Buccaneers.___AP Sports Writers Fred Goodall, Charles Odum, Steve Reed contributed to this report.___Sam Darnold Jersey Cheap Alex Balducci Jersey Corey Lemonier Jersey Darron Lee Jersey Charone Peake Jersey Elijah McGuire Jersey Josh Martin Jersey Ben Braden Jersey Brian Parker Jersey Lucky Whitehead Jersey Wesley Johnson Jersey Jeff Adams Jersey Deshon Foxx Jersey Nike Curtis Martin Jersey On Sale Corey White Jersey Nike Julian Stanford Jersey On Sale Nike Josh McCown Jersey On Sale James Carpenter Jersey Sheldon Richardson Jersey

Saints aim to end opening day skid vs. Bucs "Everyone's going to talk about potential. Everyone's going to talk about, 'on paper,' how good we look," said Jordan, an All-Pro in 2017 with a career-high 13 sacks. "We've been here before. We've seen this a couple years ago, when we looked great on paper. Paper doesn't play Sunday."The schedule seemingly sets the Saints up to win a season opener for the first time since 2013 this Sunday, when they host the Tampa https://www.rodgersfanstore.com/authenti...-sale-1_16.html Bay Buccaneers.New Orleans has nearly all key players back from a squad that came within a "Minnesota Miracle" of advancing to the NFC title https://www.rodgersfanstore.com/authenti...-sale-1_61.html game. Now the Saints are eager to move on from the 61-yard Vikings touchdown they gave up on their last play of last season.The Bucs, by contrast, are coming off a five-win campaign that extended their decade-long playoff drought and must play without starting quarterback Jameis Winston, who is serving a three-game suspension .Oddsmakers have made the Saints one of the most heavily favored NFL teams — by more than a touchdown — in Week 1."We recognize what kind of a football team New Orleans has," Tampa Bay coach Dirk Koetter said. "We're going to go out there and do everything we can to give it to them on Sunday."And why not? The last time these teams met, in their 2017 regular season finale, the Bucs won in an upset.Here are some key subplots that will play out when the Bucs and Saints renew their divisional rivalry:PREMIER MATCHUP: Bucs receiver Mike Evans is one of three players in NFL history — along with A.J. Green and Hall of Famer Randy Moss — to have 1,000 yards-plus receiving in each of the first four seasons of a career. Evans figures to be covered by Saints cornerback Marshawn Lattimore, last season's NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year."I look forward to the matchup," said Evans, who was suspended one game last season for a blindside hit on Lattimore.Bucs quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick, starting for Winston, doesn't sound inclined to look https://www.rodgersfanstore.com/authenti...-sale-1_11.html away from Evans just because of who is covering him."When you have a guy like Mike Evans, he's going to get his balls," Fitzpatrick said. "There is nobody that I am really going to shy away from, no disrespect to anybody, just because the talent level Mike Ha Ha Clinton-Dix Authentic Jersey has."SUSPENDED STARTERS: Each team is coping with the suspension of a prominent offensive player.The Saints are without Pro Bowl running back Mark Ingram, their leading rusher last season with 1,124 yards and 12 touchdowns. He was suspended four games for use of a banned substance. That raises the possibility that Offensive Rookie of the Year Alvin Kamara will play more snaps, but Kamara was careful not give away anything on that front."The way our team https://www.rodgersfanstore.com/authenti...-sale-1_25.html is trending, we're an unselfish group," Kamara said. "If my touches are low, then it is what it is, if that's what we have to do to win."Winston begins a three-game suspension stemming from an eight-month NFL investigation that concluded he touched a female Uber driver inappropriately in 2016."At this point, it's like any other injury that a guy's out for three weeks," Koetter said.ROSTER TURNOVER: One of Tampa Bay's top priorities was revamping a pass rush that produced a league-low 22 sacks a year ago. In addition to acquiring former New York Giants star Jason Pierre-Paul in a trade , two other new starters on the defensive line — Vinny Curry and Beau Allen — signed as free agents after helping the Eagles win the Super Bowl. Defensive coordinator Mike Smith said Pierre-Paul had a good training camp and has been everything the Bucs expected in terms of his drive to learn the scheme and make it tough for coaches to sub him out."The guy doesn't want to come off the field," Smith said. "He's a guy that's played, when's he's been healthy, 90-plus percent of the snaps on defense. That is unheard of a lot of times in the NFL."The Saints spent the bulk of their efforts in free agency trying to improve a defense that ranked 17th, bringing in linebacker Demario Davis, safety Kurt Coleman and cornerback Patrick Robinson. Meanwhile, receiver Cameron Meredith is expected to make his debut for an offense that ranked second a season ago, while tight end Ben Watson returns after a couple of seasons with Baltimore.GOOD RATINGS: Saints quarterback Drew Brees had a 121.1 passer rating against the Bucs last season, his best rating against any team in 2017. But Brees quickly dispenses with the notion that he has Tampa Bay's number."We know how competitive this team is regardless of what their record said last year," Brees said. "They've got a lot of really good players on defense. They went out and made some pretty significant moves through free agency and in the draft."It's going to be a tough, tough test."___AP Sports Writer Fred Goodall contributed to this report.___More AP NFL: https://apnews.com/tag/NFL and https://twitter.com/AP_NFL___Dave Robinson Jersey Jordy Nelson Jersey Cheap Mike Pennel Jersey Davon House Jersey Richard Rodgers Jersey Brett Hundley Jersey Damarious Randall Jersey Ha Ha Clinton-Dix Jersey Cheap Kyler Fackrell Jersey Letroy Guion Jersey Ray Nitschke Jersey Paul Hornung Jersey Nike Jordy Nelson Jersey On Sale Kyle Murphy Jersey Robert Leff Jersey Derrick Mathews Jersey Corey Linsley Jersey Eddie Lacy Jersey Cheap Jimmy Graham Jersey Cheap
Where do Buffalo Bills go if LeSean McCoy is suspended by NFL? Bills coach Sean McDermott said this on the last day of Buffalo’s mini-camp on June 14: “We’ll take a few weeks off; the guys get a chance to get away and catch up with their families and do a bit of traveling, but also really just refresh their minds. That’s an important part of this, making sure that everything’s squared away and everything’s buttoned up before we head back to training camp.”The controversy LeSean McCoy finds himself in this week is not what McDermott, or anyone in the Bills’ organization starting right at the top with Terry and Kim Pegula, had in mind.The images of McCoy’s former girlfriend that surfaced Tuesday morning were hideous and troublesome, to say the least. The Instagram post that accompanied the photo John Elway White Elite Jersey of a battered and bloodied Delicia Cordon, piled on even more horror.McCoy, the star running back of the Bills who is also their best player, was accused of being responsible for the beating of Cordon – not by his own hand, but perhaps by instructing for it to be done — and the friend of Cordon’s who put up the post also alleged that McCoy has, in the past, beaten his son and his dog, and used illegal steroids.That Instagram post was soon taken down on the direction of Cordon’s lawyer, but the fire was lit and smoke has been billowing all week, and now McCoy’s Nike Von Miller Jersey On Sale future as an NFL player, at least one in Buffalo, could hinge on whether any of these charges are proven to be true.While the lawyers and police investigators sort it all out, the NFL and the Bills are also conducting their own investigations into the matter, and this could mean that McCoy will be placed on the league’s exempt list per the guidelines of its personal conduct policy.It states that if McCoy is ultimately charged with a crime, or even if he’s under suspicion pending investigation which is certainly the case right now, he is subject to the exempt list and thus would be ineligible to participate in any team activities including practice and games until the issue is resolved.The Bills are scheduled to report to St. John Fisher College on July 25 and their first practice is scheduled for 5:30 p.m. July 26. There seems to be a very good chance McCoy may not be there.So, what does that mean on the field for the Bills? Not a whole lot right away because McCoy, a 10th-year NFL veteran who turned 30 years old Thursday, can obviously survive missing training camp practices and, should the process elongate Case Keenum White Elite Jersey deep into the summer, preseason games.But come Sept. 9 in Baltimore, if McCoy is still unavailable to the Bills either because he remains on the exempt list or has already been suspended by https://www.vonmillerbroncosshop.com/authentic-von-miller-jersey-sale-1_109.html the league for whatever length of time, a Buffalo offense that is already expected to struggle with McCoy, could be in real trouble without him.<strong style="margin-right:3px;">More: Ex-girlfriend believed McCoy involved in invasion<strong style="margin-right:3px;">Bills training camp questions: Will Josh Allen seize starting QB job?<strong style="margin-right:3px;">More: T.O. won't be individually honored by Hall of FameThe Bills have running back candidates with varying degrees of NFL experience who can step in, starting with free-agent signee Chris Ivory. Ivory has played 95 games for the Saints, Jets and Jaguars, totaling 4,852 yards, 94 receptions for 743 yards, and 31 total touchdowns.Bills fans know of Ivory from his time with the Jets when he had his best years, from 2013-15. He started 30 of the 46 games he played for New York (he had just 12 other starts in five years combined with the Saints and Jaguars) and had rushing seasons of 833, 821 and 1,070 yards.“I’m just here to work hard and when my number is called, be ready to perform,” Ivory said when he signed with the Bills back on March 6. “I’m a physical guy. I can run between the tackles and I think I don’t get noticed as much for (what) I can do in space. Just be the guy that they can count on.”Of course, he was speaking of the role he signed up for as McCoy’s backup. Whether Ivory can carry the load as the starter remains to be seen. He would be a decent stopgap, but he’s not nearly the threat McCoy is, certainly not as a runner and definitely not as a pass receiver.Behind Ivory, there are four players who will be battling for probably two roster spots, three if McCoy is suspended. They are Taiwan Jones, Travaris Cadet, Marcus Murphy and Keith Ford. Jones and Cadet have logged the most NFL playing time. Jones has appeared in 74 games with the Raiders and Bills, though he has never started a single one and has only 183 career rushing yards along with 18 catches for 251 yards. Cadet has 72 games played (three starts) with the Saints, 49ers, Patriots, Jets and Bills, and he has served primarily as a third-down specialist in passing situations. He has only 180 rushing yards, but has caught 118 passes for 959 yards and 7 touchdowns.Cadet is coming back from a gruesome broken ankle suffered in the Week 16 loss to the Patriots last year, while Jones suffered a season-ending broken arm in the Week 9 loss to the Jets. Murphy has played 17 games in three NFL seasons with the Saints and Bills exclusively on special teams and has no rushing attempts or pass receptions, though he did show some bursts of flash during the spring workouts and is considered a potential to earn a surprise roster spot. Ford is a 24-year-old rookie free agent out of Texas A&M.The Bills have approximately $16 million in salary cap space, but that includes only the top 51 salaries, and does not include rookie first-round pick Josh Allen, who has yet to sign his contract. Still, there’s enough room to dip into free agency if they feel they need a better option, though the pool is pretty shallow.Former NFL rushing champ DeMarco Murray is available, as is former three-time rushing leader and probable future Hall of Famer Adrian Peterson. But Murray is 30 and Peterson 33; both are in clear decline and may not be worth the investment.Eddie Lacy is only 27 years old, but after two promising 1,000-yard seasons with the Packers after they picked him in the second round in 2013, he has battled conditioning problems and has been released by both Green Bay and Seattle.Other backs on the market include Danny Woodhead, Shane Vereen, Jamaal Charles, Andre Ellington, C.J. Spiller, Bishop Sankey, Akeem Hunt, Branden Oliver and Alfred Morris, but this underwhelming group only illuminates the realization that this would not be an easy fix for the Bills if McCoy is suspended for any Nike Demaryius Thomas Jersey On Sale period of time.Sal Maiorana covers the Buffalo Bills for the Democrat and Chronicle.

NFL: Which 0-2 teams still could make playoffs in 2018 season? Yet 2012 was the last time postseason didn't include a team that had to overcome the 0-2 hurdle. Simple math suggests one of this year's seven slow starters will persevere, so let's handicap the field.7. Arizona Cardinals: They're better Jerry Rice White Elite Jersey than, say, the Bills from a pure talent perspective — though that's not evident on film. But NaVorro Bowman Authentic Jersey unlike Buffalo, the Cards are mired in the loaded NFC, so their outlook may actually be the most glum.6. Buffalo Bills: Their setbacks have come by a collective 55 points, worst in the league. And now LeSean McCoy's hurt. It would appear you made some kind of Faustian bargain with Andy Dalton in 2017, Bills Mafia. (BTW, next two are at Minnesota and Green Bay. R.I.P., 2018 Bills.)5. Detroit Lions: New coach. New culture. Same old Lions? After an embarrassing home debut against an average Jets team, Matt Patricia's bunch looked better in Sunday's three-point heartbreaker at San Francisco.Still, Detroit is too reliant on QB Matthew Stafford and definitely isn't in the same class as NFC North brethren like the Packers and Vikings. The situation is unlikely to improve Sunday night with a wounded Patriots team heading to Motown in what's shaping up as an unhappy reunion for Patricia.<strong style="margin-right:3px;">More: NFL power rankings: Major changes at top as Eagles, Patriots falter<strong style="margin-right:3px;">More: Lions' adopted 'Patriot Way' already has led to another lost season4. New York Giants: Their losses are by a total of 12 points, though it never felt like they were really in Sunday's 20-13 defeat at Dallas. Eli Manning, Saquon Barkley and Odell Beckham should make them formidable, but only if the offensive line rebounds. Defensively, it would help to get pass rusher Olivier Vernon (high ankle sprain) back.But the biggest obstacle may be the schedule. The Giants' next five games are at Houston, home against the Saints, at Carolina, home against the Eagles and at Atlanta. Yikes.3. Seattle Seahawks: They had the misfortune of opening with two road contests. But before you're lulled into thinking the 12th Man Deion Sanders Jersey Cheap can save them, don't forget the Seahawks were a .500 team at CenturyLink Field in 2017 and have actually lost four of five in the Emerald City.The new problems, namely the loss of so many key veterans on defense, only augment the usual ones: poor blocking, no run game and too much burden on Russell Wilson. However if Seattle can recapture the magic in its own building, the schedule does conclude with five of seven at home ... and it should help to face Arizona twice.2. Oakland Raiders: They hung around with a loaded Rams squad for Jerry Rice Authentic Jersey most of Week 1 until the game eventually got out of hand. They didn't trail at Denver on Sunday ... until the final six seconds. Of course, faltering late raises questions as to whether Jon Gruden has too many vets on this roster and if it has staying power over the long haul. And the Khalil Mack fiasco continues to undermine Oakland's ability to prevail, even if a high-potential offense hits high gear under Gruden.What lies ahead? A cross-country trip to Miami in Week 3 for a 1 p.m. ET start, a Week 6 "home" game in London and two more 1 p.m. kickoffs in the Eastern time zone plus the always rough journey to Arrowhead over the final six weeks.1. Houston Texans: They also played their first two away from home, including Week 1 at New England. Houston ended both games possessing the ball and down one score, though Deshaun Watson didn't do a good job managing the clock Sunday in Nashville. Still, no reason this team should go in the tank. The next four games (three at NRG Stadium) are winnable leading up to a Week 7 date at Jacksonville. Coach Bill O'Brien surmounted 0-2 in 2015 to take the Texans to the AFC Nike Colin Kaepernick Jersey On Sale South crown despite using four starting quarterbacks. This club has far superior talent but needs Watson and J.J. Watt to round into pre-injury form soon. They'll host the equally desperate Giants in Week 3.***Follow Nate Davis on Twitter @ByNateDavisDonavin Newsom Jersey Jeff Driskel White Elite Jersey Patrick Willis Jersey Michael Wilhoite White Elite Jersey Nike Elvis Dumervil Jersey On Sale Will Redmond White Elite Jersey Laken Tomlinson White Elite Jersey Laken Tomlinson JerseyAaron Burbridge White Elite Jersey Joe Staley White Elite Jersey Erik Magnuson Jersey Robbie Gould Jersey Terrell Owens White Elite Jersey Nike Tom Rathman Jersey On Sale Will Redmond Jersey
NFL position battles: 10 best non-QB competitions of preseason Denver's lead ball carrier job remains wide open after nearly two weeks of training camp, and five different players have received work with the first-team offense: veterans Devontae Booker and De’Angelo Henderson and rookies Royce Freeman, David Williams and Philip Lindsay. Freeman, a third-rounder from Oregon, has been gaining momentum, but a starter might not be named until September. Lindsay, a Denver native, is an intriguing option as a third-down back if he ends up on the roster for his kick-returning skills. Dolphins head coach Adam Gase said this week that he listed 35-year-old veteran Frank Gore and incumbent starter Kenyan Drake as co-starters on the team’s first depth chart just to “be an (expletive),” but the move also shows that the starting job remains at least somewhat open. It would be unwise to dismiss Gore simply because of his age. His extreme work ethic, veteran savvy and extra motivation to play well in his hometown might give Gore the push he needs to take over some of Drake's workload, though the third-year back is the more dynamic option.With the team’s release of Dez Bryant in March, the Cowboys still don’t have a lead target for Dak Prescott. In a very un-Cowboy-like maneuver, Dallas appears likely to wait on establishing a clear No. 1 receiver, at least initially. Cole Beasley is secured in the slot, though Dallas could opt to move him all over the field. Deonte Thompson, Randall Cunningham Jersey Cheap who played last year with the Bears and Bills, and rookie Michael Gallup are likely depth options, though Gallup has impressed in training camp. The biggest opportunities might be given to Terrance Williams, who has been Dallas’ No. 2 target and is coming off of foot surgery that forced him to miss the entire offseason program, and Allen Hurns, formerly of the Jaguars. Hurns is the only one with a 1,000-yard receiving season, though he has been limited by a groin injury. <strong style="margin-right:3px;">More: Seahawks stars Bobby Wagner, K.J. Wright explain to USA TODAY why they're not going 4-12<strong Kamu Grugier-Hill Jersey Cheap style="margin-right:3px;">More: Alvin Kamara: Saints would have 'beat the (expletive)' out of Eagles in NFC title gameQuarterback Aaron Rodgers on Tuesday ripped into Green Bay’s younger receivers, saying “the effort level was very low” in a practice session, though he praised Geronimo Allison, DeAngelo Yancey, and Jake Kumerow. “Everybody else,” Rodgers said, “was kind of piss poor.” The Packers are set with Davante Adams and slot receiver Randall Cobb as their top two targets, but Green Bay still needs a third. Allison appears to be separating himself from the bunch. Kumerow, formerly a member of the Bengals practice squad who has never appeared in a game, has consistently made plays in training camp. The three rookie draft picks — J'Mon Moore, Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Equanimeous St. Brown — have all been inconsistent. When Nate Solder left in free agency (signing a big-money deal with the New York Giants), it opened up a major vacancy on Tom Brady’s blindside – though it was a hole the Patriots moved to fill this offseason by trading for veteran Trent Brown from the 49ers and using Nike Nick Foles Jersey On Sale a first-round pick on Georgia’s Isaiah Wynn. Though Brown is switching sides of the line, he has impressed in training camp and appears to have the inside track to winning the starting job. He’s massive (listed at 6-8, 380 pounds) and still only 25, so the Pats would be thrilled if he winds up a long-term solution. That arrangement puts less immediate pressure on Wynn, who could start his career as a backup swing tackle and grow into a starting role. The Steelers have a major hole to fill in their heart of their defense as they look to replace Ryan Shazier, who suffered a spinal cord injury last season. Replicating both his Nike Kamu Grugier-Hill Jersey On Sale playmaking ability and leadership will be difficult, and Pittsburgh is letting Tyler Matakevich, a seventh-rounder in 2016, and free agent addition Jon Bostic, who played for four teams from 2013-17, battle it out in training camp. While Matakevich, a backup and special teams player in his first two seasons, appeared to get the first shot with Vince Williams and the rest of the starters, Bostic will have a chance to get his career back on track. The defense is stacked on the front and in the secondary, but outside linebacker remains a weakness after the Rams traded Robert Quinn to the Dolphins and let Connor Barwin walk in free agency. Last year’s fourth-round pick Samson Ebukam appears set to start on one side of the defense, but the weakside is wide open. Matt Longacre picked up 5 1/2 sacks last season as a backup and may be the team’s best bet, even though he is battling a biceps injury in camp. That might be enough to open the door for rookies John Franklin-Myers, Trevon Young and Justin Lawler to steal the role. When Carolina traded Daryl Worley to the Eagles for receiver Torrey Smith, it left a starting job open, opposite James Bradberry, the team’s No. 1 corner. A season-ending broken leg to Ross Cockrell created more uncertainty in the secondary. Now the role comes down to third-year vet Kevon Seymour and rookie second-round draft selection Donte Jackson. Jackson has flashed in camp and, with a strong preseason, might ascend to the role by Week 1 – even though the Panthers listed Seymour as the starter on their first unofficial depth chart Sunday. Earl Thomas, who is holding out from training camp has made his position to Seattle clear: “Offer me an extension,” he wrote in a blog post published to the Players’ Tribune, “or trade me to a team that wants me to be part of their future.” That means Seattle needs to plan on moving forward without him. The tricky part is that the team needs to replace strong safety Kam Chancellor, who indicated he is retiring due to a neck injury. Bradley McDougald appears to be in line to take Chancellor’s spot, though coordinator Ken Norton Jr. could get creative and toggle him between the two positions. But Tedric Thompson, a 2017 fourth-round draft pick, has stood out in training camp at free safety. He’s competing against Delano Hill, a 2017 third rounder. But look for Maurice Alexander, a former starter with the Rams, to get serious consideration to step into one of the starting roles. If the Chargers had a consistent kicker in 2017, the team’s first year in Los Angeles could have ended in the postseason instead of out of it. That makes the open competition between Caleb Sturgis, the former Eagle, and Roberto Aguayo, a 2016 second-round pick by the Buccaneers who was cut last summer, so compelling. Sturgis, who converted 85% of his kicks in 2016, missed nearly all https://www.carsonwentzfanjersey.com/authentic-zach-ertz-jersey-sale-1_49.html of last year in Philadelphia after suffering a torn left hip flexor and has been limited throughout the offseason. Aguayo has received extra reps, but can the former high draft pick shake whatever yips plagued him in Tampa Bay? Follow Lindsay H.

Except for 1 kick, Saints, Ravens are evenly matched At the end of New Orleans' 24-23 victory, players Antonio Brown White Elite Jersey from both teams had plenty reason to feel good about how they performed.Everyone except Justin Tucker.Tucker was Antonio Brown White Elite Jersey for Antonio Brown White Elite Jersey on conversion kicks until he shanked one to the right with 24 seconds https://www.antoniobrownfanjersey.com remaining and overtime seemingly waiting for these two evenly matched teams."I can't tell you exactly what happened," Tucker said, "but at the end of the day I feel like I cost us the game."The missed kick gave Brees his first career victory over the Ravens, the only team he had not defeated. He joins Brett Favre and Peyton Manning as the only quarterbacks Alejandro Villanueva Jersey in NFL history to beat every club.Brees threw his 500th TD pass to help the Saints (5-1) extend their winning streak to five. Manning, Favre, Tom Brady and now Brees are the only members of the 500 club.Joe Flacco went 23 for 39 for 279 yards for Baltimore (4-3) and fashioned a wonderful late drive to put the Ravens just an extra point away from overtime.Some other things to know about the Saints-Ravens game:THE FOURTH ESTATECoach Sean Payton had the Saints go for it on fourth down four times during a 20-play game-opening drive, the lone unsuccessful attempt coming on the final try, when a fumble by Taysom Hill was recovered by the Ravens' Michael Pierce at the Baltimore 6-yard line.New Orleans was 4 for 5 on fourth-down conversions for the day, something Brees said set the tone early Ben Roethlisberger Jersey Cheap for the kind of offensive game they wanted to play."It gives you a lot of confidence, you know?" Brees said. "Feeling like he's putting the ball in our hands to make the play and he's got plays he likes. That makes us feel like we're playing to win, not just playing."BROWN DELIVERSRavens receiver John Brown bounced back from two uneventful games with seven catches for 134 yards and the potential game-tying score with 24 seconds left.Brown signed with Baltimore as a free agent in March after playing four years in Arizona. He leads the Ravens in yards receiving and touchdown catches (4)."It was good just to be able to make the plays. The opportunity came to me," Brown said. "You can take all those yards back, the touchdown back. I'd rather get the win."A DIFFERENT LOOKBrees is a pure passer, so teams know what to expect from him. But Payton continues to integrate Taysom Hill, a second-year man out of Brigham Young, into the offense to give opponents a different look.So far, the ploy has paid dividends."He made some big plays," Payton said of Hill, who rushed three times for 12 yards. "He had a toss and he kept the ball. Look, he does so many different things. He's a football player. When the game is over and it's a grass field, his uniform is dirty."JACKSON'S SIXRookie quarterback Lamar Jackson scored his first NFL touchdown and gave the Ravens the lead when he carried the ball into the end zone with four seconds remaining in the first half."It was amazing. I'm in touchdown heaven, or football heaven, whatever you want to call it," he said. "Man, I'm taking this ball right to the sideline and keeping it."Jackson was the second of Baltimore's two first round draft picks this year. The Heisman Trophy winner in 2016 has appeared in every game but had not contributed a scoring play.HOLD THAT LINEWith Josh LeRibeus subbing for Andrus Peat (head injury) at left guard and reserve tackle Jermon Bushrod inactive following the death of his infant daughter, the Saints knew they'd have to get a cohesive effort from the offensive line to prevent Baltimore's barrage of blitzes.Well, Terrell Suggs' sack of Brees in the fourth quarter was the lone blemish on an otherwise spotless day of T.J. Watt Jersey protection. And that came with LeRibeus missing time due to an ankle injury.___Daniel McCullers Jersey Terrell Watson Jersey Johnny Maxey Jersey Landry Jones Jersey Ramon Foster Jersey Jack Lambert Jersey Jesse James Jersey Javon Hargrave Jersey Jordan Dangerfield Jersey Canaan Severin Jersey Brandon Dixon Jersey Mike Matthews Jersey Scott Orndoff Jersey Lynn Swann Jersey Donnie Shell Jersey
NFL Week 3: Bills and Lions pull off Adam Vinatieri White Elite Jersey shocking upsets The day finished with the winless Lions dismantling the NFL's most feared bully, the Patriots, 26-10. It was a season-saving win for the Lions, who had struggled to start the year under new coach Matt Patricia, a former Patriots assistant.The team that routed the Patriots last week, the Jaguars, responded to being elevated to No. 1 in USA TODAY Sports' NFL power rankings by losing to division rival Tennessee in a field-goal fest.Perhaps football fans should have been prepared for a wilder-than-usual Week 3, given how the Browns kicked off the weekend by ending their 635-day run without a win.MORE: 32 things we learned in Week 3THE *BEST* PICS: Top shots of Week 3 | Cheerleaders | Celebrations- Another milestone for Mahomes: With three touchdown passes in a 38-27 win over the 49ers on Sunday, Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes has thrown 13 TDs through three games, breaking Peyton Manning's record for most touchdown passes through the first three games of a season (12, set in 2013).- Mahomes magic: Patrick Mahomes has a hose, and on Sunday he threw a touchdown pass that would make the ol' gunslinger himself, Brett Favre, proud.- The NFL is 'soft':So says Packers linebacker Clay Matthews, who was once again hit with a controversial roughing the passer call.

Of course, it might have helped that they were playing the Cowboys.Bears 16, Cardinals 14: Rookie QB Josh Rosen made his NFL debut for the Cardinals, but his late-game cameo wasn't Lee Hightower Authentic Jersey enough to topple the Bears, who rallied to win and are sitting atop the NFC North after losses by the Packers and Vikings on Sunday.Rams 35, Chargers 23: The Rams claimed Los Angeles bragging rights and with their dominant start to the season, they just might be the best team in the NFL.Bills 27, Vikings 6: The most shocking upset of the season so far likely knocked plenty of fans out of their survivor pools.Saints 43, Falcons 37 (OT): Drew Brees prevented the third tie in as many weeks with his touchdown in overtime that gave his Saints a big NFC South win on the road.Chiefs 38, 49ers 27: With three more touchdown passes in Sunday's win, Patrick Mahomes now has 13 through the first three games of the season, the most in NFL history.Titans 9, Jaguars 6: The Titans earned a statement win over a team that dump trucked the Patriots a week ago.Giants 27, Texans 22: The Giants avoided an 0-3 start and salvaged their season for at least a week (they do play the Saints in Week 4).Panthers 31, Bengals 21: Christian McCaffrey laid waste to the Bengals, who suffered a devastating defeat after a promising 2-0 start.Ravens 27, Broncos 14: The Ravens pulled out a wild one against the Broncos that included plenty of rain, a blocked punt for a touchdown and a running back ejected.Eagles 20, Colts 16: Carson Wentz made his long-awaited return behind center and was just good enough for the Eagles in a nail-biter against the Colts.Redskins 31, Packers 17: Clay Matthews drew another penalty for roughing the passer, and after the game the Packers linebacker called the NFL "soft."Dolphins 28, Raiders 20:The Dolphins beat the Raiders, and after the Lions' win over the Patriots, move to two games ahead of New England in the AFC East standings.Browns 21, Jets 17 (Thursday): The Browns (finally!) ended their winless streak at 19 games, and there's real reason to believe that Cleveland could make a run at the postseason.If you love talking football, we have the perfect spot for you.

Fortunately, the Browns have turned the offense over to rookie No. 1 draft pick Baker Mayfield after his impressive debut on Thursday. Consider Mayfield a fantasy backup or potential bye-week starter — with significant upside as he gains experience.At this point, fellow rookie QBs Josh Allen and Josh Rosen are still speculative pickups.- Speaking of rookies, Calvin Ridley shouldn’t still be on the waiver wire, but if so … his 146 receiving yards and three TDs will make him this week’s top choice.- With the Bengals’ A.J. Green exiting in the third quarter with a groin injury, Tyler Boyd stepped up with 132 yards and a TD on six catches.- For big-play potential, check out Dolphins wideout Albert Wilson, who threw a 52-yard pass for a touchdown and caught two passes for 74 yards and another score.- If the Eagles' Jay Ajayi is forced to miss any more time, Wendell Smallwood emerged as the go-to back on Sunday, racking up 91 total yards and a touchdown.MORE: Top performances, with a fantasy spinMonday: Week 3 concludes with the NFL's new "Drama Kings," the Steelers visiting the Buccaneers (8:15 p.m. ET on ESPN), who are led by back-to-back NFC offensive player of the week, Ryan Fitzpatrick.

Chargers hope Corey Liuget's return bolsters pass rush Even though Liuget has Bradley Chubb Jersey Cheap served his suspension, he said he still hasn't put it behind him."For my own sanity, just to get out there and play I think will be great for me," Liuget said. "It was definitely tough watching Peyton Manning Authentic Jersey the guys out there and knowing that I could contribute but I'm happy to be back."Liuget took full responsibility for the suspension when it was announced in March, but he has sued his former personal trainer Ian Danney. Liuget claims in the lawsuit that it was Danney who injected him with a substance that Liuget thought was an over-the-counter anti-inflammatory medication. Instead, Nike John Elway Jersey On Sale he tested positive because the substance is banned by the FDA and NFL.The lawsuit was filed in Los Angeles on Sept. 18. Peter Ginsberg, who is representing Liuget, said nothing imminent is developing with the case.Messages and emails left with Danney's office in Arizona were not returned. An Bradley Chubb Authentic Jersey attorney for Danney is not listed on the district court case docket."It was emotional. I have to be more careful of who I hire and trust," Liuget said. "I do love this game and to be messed up like that is hard."Liuget went to San Jose to work out during his suspension. He said he did an hour of on-field work daily, concentrating on getting quicker out of his stance off the line, hand placement and honing his pass-rushing skills.Liuget's return could not come at a more opportune time for the Chargers (2-2), whose pass rush has struggled. Defensive end Joey Bosa has not played the first four games due to a foot injury, which has allowed teams to double-team Melvin Ingram.The Peyton Manning Jersey Cheap Chargers go into Sunday's game against Oakland with eight sacks, which is tied for 22nd in the league. They had 12 after the first four games last season. They are also 26th in quarterback hurries (19) and tied for 22nd in quarterback pressures (41), according to SportRadar.Coach Anthony Lynn said he expects Liuget to immediately return to the lineup as long as he is in playing shape."He's an established veteran. We know what he can do," Lynn said. "It's unfortunate that he got suspended, but we will throw him back in as soon as we can."Liuget said he is happy to be returning to a team that is at .500 at the quarter mark of the season. The Chargers lost their first four games last season before winning nine of their final 12 and missing the playoffs by one game. They have not been at .500 or better after four games since 2015."Knowing that one game cost us last year, it is good knowing that we already have two in the books. We can't put our faith in someone else's hands," he said.___Follow Joe Reedy at www.twitter.com/joereedy___Kasim Edebali White Elite Jersey Domata Peko White Elite Jersey Shane Ray White Elite Jersey Nike Quentin Gause Jersey On Sale Nike Josh Banderas Jersey On Sale Bennie Fowler White Elite Jersey Nike Shiloh Keo Jersey On Sale Nike Chris Lewis-Harris Jersey On Sale Dennis Smith Jersey Max Garcia White Elite Jersey Nike Aqib Talib Jersey On Sale Cedrick Lang Jersey Brendan Langley Jersey Kasim Edebali Jersey Tyrique Jarrett White Elite Jersey

Luck, RG3 following different paths through NFL careers Now, the 28-year-old quarterbacks find themselves in an odd place — rooting for each another's comebacks."You know it seems like the combine was just yesterday," Griffin said after the first of two joint practices on the final weekend of training camp."He's always going to be the geeky guy and Dwight Clark White Elite Jersey I'm always going to be the guy who wears the goofy socks."Maybe those sentiments sound strange coming from two guys who were supposed to join the long list of memorable rivals.But fate, as it sometimes does, changed everything.Instead of becoming fierce foes, Griffin and Luck developed a mutual admiration for each another's work. They respect one another so much that Luck even took a moment during a brief stoppage at practice to jog over and give Griffin a hug."He's a really good guy. He's a Texas guy, so we have some links there," Luck said earlier this week. "I got to know him at the Heisman and then the combine and draft. I've always been a big fan. Our families got to know each other a fair bit. I'm excited to see him."Much has changed since these two last threw passes on the same field, six years ago in one of the few highly anticipated preseason games, pitting the seemingly can't-miss prospects.Luck was considered the polished, establishment guy, who learned the game from his NFL-playing father, who was groomed in Stanford's pro-style offense had a resume that resembled Peyton Manning's.Griffin was the flashy new guy with plenty of upside, legs that were supposed to be as difficult to stop as his arm, who could make any offense high octane and who took home four of college football's most prized trophies in 2011.Both began with a bang.Luck led the Colts to the playoffs each of his first three seasons, made the Pro Bowl each year and helped lead the Colts one step deeper in the playoffs each successive year, culminating with an AFC championship game appearance following the 2014 season.Griffin countered by leading the Redskins to their first playoff appearance in five years, drawing praise from President Barack Obama and making the Pro Bowl as a rookie.Then things suddenly went awry.Griffin sprained a ligament in his right knee in December 2012, but was cleared by doctors in time to return for the final two regular-season games and the playoff game against Seattle. During the fourth quarter of the loss to the Seahawks, Griffin's knee gave out and he wound up needing surgery for two torn ligaments and a torn meniscus."I don't think about the past because otherwise I can't stay in the present," Griffin said. "I'm a football player. If they tell me I can go, I'm going to go."He was never the same. Since starting NaVorro Bowman White Elite Jersey 9-7, he is just 6-19 as a starter.Griffin lost the starting spot in Washington three times over the next three seasons and finally signed with Cleveland in 2016, where he spent most of the season on injured reserve with a fractured bone in his left shoulder. He still holds the distinction as the most recent starting quarterback Deion Sanders White Elite Jersey to lead the Browns Nike Marquise Goodwin Jersey On Sale to a victory on Dec. 24, 2016.The Browns released Griffin in March 2017 — before he collected a $750,000 roster bonus — and he was out of football all of last season."It was hard, very hard," Griffin said. "But the Ravens gave me an opportunity and I'm here to make the most of this opportunity."Luck, meanwhile, dealt with other obstacles.He injured his right shoulder in the third game of the Nike Reuben Foster Jersey On Sale 2015 season, ending a starting streak of 57 consecutive games.Luck finished his fourth pro season on injured reserve with a lacerated kidney, played through the continual pain in his right shoulder in 2016 then opted for surgery on a partially torn labrum in January 2017. The recovery cost him all of last season.The Colts missed the playoffs all three of those years and now he's finally back, looking to find his pre-surgery form."I know he was just hurting," Ravens coach John Harbaugh said. "When you miss that much football, you start questioning everything. For him to be back out here has to be a joy for him."Luck will continue lining up behind center for the second joint practice Saturday and likely for more than a quarter in Monday night's game.Griffin, meanwhile, is trying to restart his career by winning a job behind Super Bowl-winning quarterback Joe Flacco and first-round draft pick and Heisman winner Lamar Jackson, meaning Griffin and Luck could be watching each other's comebacks."I'm always root for quarterbacks," Griffin said. "I really hope he (Luck) comes back and not just to the level he was before but to the level the Colts expect."___Customize White Elite Jersey Tramaine Brock White Elite Jersey Nike Patrick Willis Jersey On Sale Nike Jimmie Ward Jersey On Sale Nike Dontae Johnson Jersey On Sale Y.A.

Chiefs' Mahomes just as dangerous outside pocket as inside Just eight games into his professional career, the Kansas City Chiefs' quarterback has already earned a reputation for being just as good outside the pocket as inside it.In fact, some of his biggest plays during the Chiefs' win in Denver a few weeks ago came when Von Miller and Co. forced him to scramble."Your plan has to trap and contain him and keep him where you want to be," Joseph said, "but you have no plan for when he breaks the pocket. That's going to be effort and want-to, and he outran most of our big guys and shook off most of our pass rushers. There's no exact plan when he's out of the pocket."That's because Mahomes has displayed a natural talent far beyond his years.You see, most young quarterbacks escape pressure and then immediately look to limit their losses. They may chuck the ball out of bounds or take off for a short gain and then slide to protect themselves.But what sets veterans such as Aaron Rodgers or Tom Brady apart is that they have the uncanny ability to keep their eyes downfield, forcing defenses to continue covering even as they find open field. Then they have the arm strength and accuracy to deliver the ball from odd angles and off-balance positions.Joseph explained that Mahomes has those very same traits."It's very rare," he said. "He understands the pressures of when the pocket breaks, he can do damage. Most young quarterbacks are looking to gain 4 or 5 yards and slide and he is not. He's trying to make a play, and the problem with this guy is he can throw across his body left or right."So how can you combat that?" Joseph said. "You can't."The Carson Wentz Jersey Cheap Broncos did a decent job of it in their meeting earlier this season, when they had the advantage of a home crowd. But Mahomes made some adjustments in the second half and began picking apart their secondary, helping the Chiefs rally for a 27-23 victory."As a quarterback you always feel more comfortable in the pocket," Mahomes said, "especially when I'm getting the protection I am now. But at the same time I like to get out of the pocket and give those wide receivers some Nike Nick Foles Jersey On Sale time to make plays."That's because the Chiefs have some dangerous playmakers catching the ball.Whether it's tight end Travis Kelce causing matchup problems with linebackers, running back Kareem Hunt out of the backfield, or speedsters Tyreek Hill and Sammy Watkins on the outside, Mahomes knows that if he's able to give them enough time that somebody is bound to come open."Mahomes, he can make all of the throws. I think with him you just try to pick and choose whether you can make your plays," Broncos cornerback Chris Harris said."I've been watching film on everybody else and everybody else playing these guys are scared. They're not challenging them. (Hill) is just running around free. That's not how we play. When we play them, we get up, we challenge them, put hands on them and that's how we come to play. We're not coming to be scared and let guys run for free all day."The Broncos acknowledge the difficulty in that, though. It's easy enough to cover several players for a few seconds, but it's much more difficult when Mahomes keeps a play alive three times that long."Listen, for anything he's doing right now, Dallas Thomas White Elite Jersey he's done a nice job of being such a young guy," Chiefs coach Andy Reid said, "but to have that ability to Randall Cunningham Authentic Jersey keep your eyes downfield when you're outside the pocket is a big thing. Some of that comes natural to him and Nike Dallas Thomas Jersey On Sale (our coaches) work with him on it, but a lot of it does come natural, keeping his eyes downfield and being able to throw with accuracy."That's a gift," Reid said. "Now, they work on it every day, but he does have a natural gift."Notes: Center Mitch Morse (concussion), linebacker Justin Houston (hamstring) and strong safety Eric Berry (heel) remained out of practice Thursday. Free safety Daniel Sorensen continued to work his way back onto the field after he rejoined the team from injured reserve earlier this week.___Nike Tommy McDonald Jersey On Sale Wendell Smallwood Jersey Ron Jaworski White Elite Jersey Don Cherry White Elite Jersey Beau Allen White Elite Jersey Billy Brown White Elite Jersey Brandon Brooks Jersey Donnel Pumphrey Jersey Nike Sidney Jones Jersey On Sale Patrick Robinson Jersey Nike Gabe Wright Jersey On Sale Najee Goode Jersey Sidney Jones Jersey Nelson Agholor White Elite Jersey Josh Andrews White Elite Jersey

2018 fantasy football busts from all 32 NFL teams A lack of weapons and a focus on the running game will lead to a second straight down year for the Cowboys' QB, whose interceptions increased from four to 13 in 2017. Some of those INTs may not be his fault, but fantasy football still Ben Roethlisberger White Elite Jersey counts them the same.He still may get red zone looks, but he's being drafted with the expectation he'll produce like he did last season, when he was the only healthy talent that could catch footballs from Eli Manning. Does he have top-10 upside? Possibly. But is he a top-5 option? Probably not.Lots of red flags here - Darren Sproles Ryan Shazier Jersey Cheap and Corey Clement join him in a crowded backfield and health questions swirl.He may still be a big-play pass-catcher out of the backfield for new QB Alex Smith, but he may be in for touchdown regression after he scored six times in 10 games. Could Derrius Guice prove he's actually a three-down back too?Matt Kartozian-USA TODAY SportsHe's scored five or more touchdowns in three consecutive years, but he averaged 33.3 yards per game last year, which means you're leaning on the hope that Kirk Cousins throws him the rock in the red zone. It could happen, but that's a lot to pin your hopes on.This may be all about reading training camp reports and updates, but even if you draft rookie Kerryon Johnson - not a terrible idea - you'll have to deal with the presence of Ameer Abdullah, goal-line back LeGarrette Blount, and third-down stud Theo Riddick. Good luck.We mentioned Aaron Jones was a sleeper despite his two-game suspension, so Williams gets the nod as a possible bust.There's not much to dislike on the Bears' offense, but if you're thinking about taking the former first-rounder at the end of your draft, leave him on the waiver wire for now. Allen Robinson, Trey Burton and Tarik Cohen might gobble up all the Mitchell Trubisky targets.Maybe he bounces back in Year 2 of Steve Sarkisian's offense. Or maybe what we saw last year - 20 touchdowns, 12 INTs, 64.7 completion percentage - is what we'll get instead of MVP-level numbers.If you're in a non-PPR league, you may want to think twice about McCaffrey at his high ADP. Will Norv Turner use him the right way? Will C.J. Anderson be the featured back who steals playing time from the second-year back?This is more about him living up to his ADP (66th overall per Fantasy Pros), but is that because people are expecting the Brees we all know and love to be a fringe top-5 option? Remember: He threw his fewest passes attempts since 2009 and only threw 23 touchdowns last season. It seems like the Saints are adjusting to his age and the personnel around him - he has two Pro Bowl-level runners in the backfield - so while he may still be a valuable QB on the field, he might be overrated in fantasy.Don't overpay for him - he averaged a career-low 13.4 yards per reception, which isn't a good sign for the deep threat.Joe Nicholson-USA TODAY SportsHis 2017 campaign proved he can be a top option, but he's been usurped by Brandin Cooks. Temper your expectations.All that talk about a Chris Carson/Penny timeshare makes us wonder if Penny's ADP (45th overall, RB22) is a little too high.Guessing who else will catch passes in Arizona besides Larry Fitzgerald seems like a waste of time.He matched some of that potential he's been oozing when Jimmy Garappolo came to town … but he did all that without Pierre Garcon around. Now that Garcon is back from injury, will Goodwin repeat his 2017? Doubtful.There is a lot working against McCoy heading into the season: His off-the-field problems could result in him missing time; the Bills offensive line could be a mess; the passing game won't scare any defenses; and he just turned 30 in July.Parker seems to hyped up every summer only to disappoint when the games start. With Albert Wilson and Danny Amendola now in Miami (and don't sleep on rookie Isaiah Ford) there are a lot of mouths to feed in South Beach all of a sudden.We predicted Isaiah Crowell would win the starting RB job in New York because of his fit in Jeremy Bates' offense, which makes this https://www.antoniobrownfanjersey.com/cheap-ben-roethlisberger-jersey-sale-1_8 a no-brainer.An evergreen fantasy tip: Never draft a running back whose playing time is based on the whims of one William Belichick.Collins is a gifted runner but his ball security issues could get him into trouble with the coaching staff. At the very least, if he's coughing up the ball, he could lose some red zone carries.We have no idea if Gordon will even be ready to play at the start of the season, and do you really trust Hue Jackson, Mr. 1-31, to get the most out of that quarterback situation and this offense as a whole?You can actually throw https://www.antoniobrownfanjersey.com/cheap-ryan-shazier-jersey-sale-1_109 Joe Mixon in here, as well. Not because of their talent. They're both good players who could be fantasy stars on other teams. But the Bengals are going with a more downfield passing attack in 2018, which could mean more snaps in pass protection for both backs. That means fewer opportunities in the passing game and fewer fantasy points for you. Also, there are A LOT of mouths to feed in Cincy this season.Bell is holding out again and he's carried the ball a lot over the last few years. The injury risk is high for a player going as high in drafts as Bell is.After he lit up defenses in his rookie season, the hype is through the roof for the second-year quarterback. That means you'll have to use a higher pick to get him. That's risky for a guy coming off a torn ACL and who got away with some questionable throws in 2017.That's right, I'm listing a sixth-round rookie as a fantasy bust. Cain is getting a lot of hype early in camp, which may convince a few people in your league to draft him. I'd stay away. Rookie receivers tend to struggle and we have no idea what to expect out of Andrew Luck or the Colts passing game this season.We had to take Fournette by default here since the Jaguars don't have any other offensive players who could be considered busts. But here's one reason the second-year running back could end up disappointing: The Jaguars have a lot more red zone targets in the passing game this year, which could cut into Fournette's touchdown total.New Titans offensive coordinator Matt LaFleur is coming over from Sean McVay's program, which put an emphasis on getting RB Todd Gurley involved in the passing game. If that's going to happen in Tennessee, then expect to see Dion Lewis on the field a lot in 2018, meaning Henry's snap count could be on the decline.If you're expecting Keenum to put up the numbers he did in Minnesota, you will be severely disappointed. His offensive line is worse, his receiving corps is worse and his coaching staff is worse.After a stellar start to his fantasy career, Hunt tailed off in the second half as his carries dwindled. Now Spencer Ware is back in the fold, so there's no guarantees that Hunt will get enough carries to justify being a top pick in your draft.It pains us to put Allen here, but we have to play the odds. And the guy has had a tremendously difficult time staying healthy. If he does avoid injury, Allen is a legit WR1, however.Carr's success is riding on Jon Gruden's ability to adapt to the modern game.
