Reunited and it feels so good! The Houston Texans are expected to trade Randall Cobb to the Green Bay Packers to reunite with Aaron Rodgers Folks, The soap opera is finally over. Aaron Rodgers has agreed to return to the Green Bay Packers for his 17th NFL season. The move means he’ll return to being one of the top five or six quarterbacks selected in 2021 fantasy football drafts (he was the QB2 last season), and it keeps Davante Adams atop the list of the elite fantasy wide receivers. The return of Rodgers is also good news for Aaron Jones, who has been a top-five running back in each of the last two seasons, not to mention 2020 breakout Robert Tonyan (though I would argue that regression is still coming for the veteran tight end). However, it does put a cap on the ceiling of A.J. Dillon, who might have seen a bigger role as a ball carrier if Jordan Love were under center. He's still mostly as RB4 in drafts. Part of Rodgers's return was predicated on the acquisition of his ...

Latest betting odds on who will emerge from the training camp battle and win the New Orleans Saints starting quarterback role. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers led by Tom Brady are not only the defending Super Bowl Champions and the clear class of the NFC South, but in the eyes of oddsmakers, are one of the strong favorites to win it all once again in 2021. The Carolina Panthers are expected to experience some growing pains as they look to rejuvenate the career of quarterback Sam Darnold after acquiring him from the New York Jets in the offseason. The Atlanta Falcons , who are expected to be proficient on the offensive side of the ball thanks to the leadership of Matt Ryan, are still only power ranked in Las Vegas sportsbooks as an average team with a 7.5 season win total. This leaves us with the New Orleans Saints , who will face the dilemma of starting veteran Jameis Winston or the versatile Taysom Hill. Oddsmakers have posted that Winston will be the one to replace the retired Drew Bre...

A better quarterback and a familiar coach await this fantasy football sleeper tight end now with the Seattle Seahawks The annual debate surrounding Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson is upon us: To cook, or not to cook? That is the question concerning fantasy football players considering investing draft capital in Seattle players in the coming weeks. Whether or not Wilson cooks , his tight end Gerald Everett will. Everett joined the Seahawks this offseason on a one-year deal after steady improvement in each of his first four years in the NFL with the Rams. He started seven games in 2020 but split time with Tyler Higbee , which cannibalized both of their fantasy relevance week to week. Everett finished last season as the TE26 while splitting time at his position, and Jared Goff was his quarterback. He enters his first season in Seattle with little competition for targets and a massive upgrade at quarterback. His average draft position (ADP) has ever so slightly accounted for those ...

Per NFL Network's Tom Pelissero, 85% of NFL players have received at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine as of Tuesday. View the original article to see embedded media. NFL sent teams updated camp and preseason COVID-19 protocols as players across the league arrive at their training camps across the country. Included in the memo, though, are details of the discipline players will face, regardless of vaccination status.  NFL Network's Tom Pelissero obtained the memo , which reportedly included that anyone who refuses to wear a tracker will receive a $14,650 fine and refusing to submit a required COVID-19 test will result in a $50,000 fine.  Protocols still remain the highest for unvaccinated players since they are required to wear masks at all times, including while lifting in the weight room and at practices "except when doing so would interfere with their ability to engage in athletic activity."  Among players, nearly half the league has reached a 90% va...

The All-Pro cornerback showed up to Miami's training camp despite unhappiness with his $75.25 million, five-year extension he signed two years ago. View the original article to see embedded media. After Xavien Howard showed up at Miami's training camp on Tuesday, the All-Pro cornerback revealed in a statement later that evening he requested a trade.  "Until that trade happens I am just here so I don’t get fined,” Howard said, "and will handle myself like professionals do."  Players face a $50,000 per day fine from the NFL if they do not report to training camp. He had already lost over $119,000 during the offseason for missing the mandatory practices and forfeiting his workout bonus because he was unhappy with his current contract. Two years ago, Howard signed a $75.25 million, five-year extension.  In the subsequent years, Howard only played five games due to injury in 2019, but had a monumental season in 2020. He led the NFL with 10 interceptions and ...

The Washington Football Team is sitting at just over 50% vaccination rate among players while the head coach is immune deficient after battling cancer last year. View the original article to see embedded media. Ron Rivera did not hold back when he shared his feelings about the COVID-19 vaccination numbers among the players on the Washington Football Team. He said on Tuesday he feels "beyond frustrated."  "I think it's frustrating. Especially in the fact that last year we were the No. 1 team against COVID," Rivera said. "Our players took the challenge of staying inside the bubble, doing the things the right way and for the most part, you know we only had two situations. Both of them were guys who weren't on the active 53, so it turned out to be a positive for us, as far as being COVID free. And now for whatever reason we have some reluctance to do that, to get the vaccine." Among players, the league has reached a 90% vaccination rate. Rivera b...
