Baker Mayfield and the Browns are heading toward an inevitab
vallie.klein Sun, 08/14/2022 - 22:15
Baker Mayfield and the Browns are heading toward an inevitable split. It's just a matter of when it will happen.The relationship between Mayfield and the Browns deteriorated rapidly during the 2022 NFL offseason. Mayfield is coming off a down year in 2021, as he dealt with several injuries and was unable to lead Cleveland to the playoffs, leading the Browns to explore the quarterback market.The point of no return in the relationship came when Cleveland got involved in the Deshaun Watson sweepstakes. The Browns appeared to be out of the running for Watson but intimated they were OK with that. Why? Because they still had Mayfield.Well, Mayfield didn't like that he was e sentially Plan B for the Browns. So, away from the team. The Browns were unwilling to comply with that request at first, but then they actually did land Watson to be the team's new starting quarterback. Since then, they have been looking to trade Mayfield.IYER: However, Cleveland is looking to get the biggest po sible return out of Mayfield. As such, the Browns haven't yet traded him as teams acro s the NFL simply haven Rashan Gary Jersey 't shown an interest in giving up significant a sets to land Mayfield.Still, there are a few quarterback-needy teams out there, including the Panthers, Seahawks and Falcons. And considering that the 2022 NFL Draft cla s is weak at the position, it seems likely that Mayfield will find a home during the draft.When will we see a Mayfield trade, and how much might a team be willing to give up to acquire him? Here are the latest rumors surrounding the Corey Bradford Jersey No. 1 overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft as he hopes to find a place to start anew.BENDER: Baker Mayfield trade rumors week of 2022 NFL DraftPete Carroll says"nothing's going to change that quick" at QBDate:April 30Source:Bob Condotta of The Seattle TimesIt doesn't sound like the Seahawks are going to trade for Baker Mayfield at this time. Pete Carroll appeared on NFL Network and was asked whether Seattle would add another quarterback to compete with Drew Lock, Geno Smith and Jacob Eason over the last two rounds of the draft.Carroll wouldn't shut the door on the po sibility. However, it doesn't sound like they are going to draft another player or make a trade by the end of the week, as Carroll explained.Pete Carroll on the NFL Network, asked about adding another QB, gives the standard response that "we're always looking.'' But asked if a QB would be added by end of the weekend says "nothing's going to change that quick now. Happy with the guys we've got.''

MartinCarolina remains in the mix for Mayfield, and it is po sible that the Panthers might make a deal for him as early as Friday, according to ESPN's Kimberley A. Martin. The Panthers did not use their No. 6 overall pick on a quarterback, and they won't pick again in the 2022 NFL Draft until 137th overall, which will be in the fourth round on Saturday.In NFL QB news:The pursuit of Baker Mayfield continues to heat up The quarterback *COULD* end up in CAR by tonight or this weekend Kimberley A.

There are going to be a lot of new faces on a few NFL teams.
vallie.klein Sun, 08/14/2022 - 22:14
There are going to be a lot of new faces on a few NFL teams.Entering the 2022 NFL Draft, there are seven teams that have at least 10 picks to choose from the best college football players in the nation. Of those seven, two teams have at least 12 picks. One made it to the Barry Sanders Jersey AFC Championship. The other finished with the worst record in the NFL.There will undoubtedly be more pick changing as the draft nears and even as it is ongoing. Some teams will use their draft capital to move up the board, while others will plan to use all picks with which they enter the draft.FULL NFL DRAFT ORDER: Which teams have the most picks this year? Which ones have the fewest? The Sporting News takes a look at the numbers in this year's draft.Who has the most picks in the 2022 NFL Draft?The Jaguars aren't just picking first in the 2022 NFL Draft; they also are tied for the most picks overall with the Chiefs.Heading into the 2022 NFL Draft, the Jaguars and Chiefs each have 12 draft picks, the most of the field. It is the Detroit Lions Hoodies Sweatshirts 10th time since the draft moved to seven rounds in 1997 that two teams have each had at least 12 selections.Here's a look at the teams with at least 10 picks in the 2022 NFL Draft.TeamPicksChiefs12Jaguars12Packers11Texans10Chargers10Eagles10Ravens10The Jaguars and Texans have the most picks acquired from other teams, with six each. The Buccaneers, Cardinals, Chargers, Titans are the only teams that have no picks from others. The Chiefs have the most combined trade and compensatory picks with seven.The Rams have the most selections via comp picks with five total. The 49ers and Chargers each have four.The Chiefs and Jaguars are Amani Oruwariye Jersey still a few picks off from the record for the most picks in a single NFL Draft since 1997. That record belongs to the 2020 Vikings, who had 15 picks, surpa sing the 1997 record set by the Dolphins at 14.The Chiefs have only had as many as 12 picks once in the current iteration of the draft, which came back in 2008. That year, they took defensive lineman Glenn Dorsey fifth overall, and running back Jamaal Charles in the third round. The Jaguars had 12 picks in 2020. Jacksonville had two first-round picks in that draft, and selected C.J. Henderson ninth overall and defensive end K'Lavon Chai Jameson Williams Jersey son 20th overall.MORE:Who has the fewest picks in the 2022 NFL Draft?On the other end of the draft counts, there are the Dolphins, who have only four picks in the 2022 NFL Draft.Miami traded four picks to the Chiefs for , simultaneously moving the Chiefs up the list of teams with the most picks and plummeting down to the fewest picks in the draft.The Raiders, who made a similar move in trading two picks to , have the second-fewest picks with five.Only six teams this year have fewer picks than there are rounds:TeamPicksDolphins4Raiders5Bears6Buccaneers6Commanders6Panthers6Had it not been for compensatory picks, the Rams would be in similar shape. Los Angeles has eight picks in this year's draft, but five of them are comp picks for losing more free agents than they signed this offseason.The Rams and Dolphins are also the two teams that have to wait the longest to make their first selection. The Dolphins don't have their first pick in the draft until the third round, when they pick 38th in the round (102nd overall), while the Rams make their first pick 40th in the third round and 104th overall.There is nothing unusual about teams having fewer than seven picks in a draft. The most extreme lack of picks came in 1999, when the Saints traded away six of their seven picks to Washington to move up to fifth for running back Ricky Williams.MORE: Total 2022 NFL Draft picks by teamHere's a full look at how many picks each team in the 2022 NFL Levi Onwuzurike Jersey Draft currently has:TeamPicksChiefs12Jaguars12Packers11Texans10Chargers10Eagles10Ravens10Cowboys9Falcons949ers9Giants9Jets9Lions9Patriots9Bengals8Bills8Broncos8Cardinals8Rams8Seahawks8Vikings8Browns7Colts7Saints7Steelers7Titans7Bears6Buccaneers6Commanders6Panthers6Raiders5Dolphins4

vallie.klein Sun, 08/14/2022 - 22:13
Someone not paying close attention may have wondered why the Packers' Week 15 broadcast was showing a black-and-white photograph of Aaron Rodgers.The answer? It wasn't Rodgers at all. Rather, it was a photograph from the late-1800s or early-1900s depicting a man Keelan Cole Jersey with his wife. The man just bore a striking resemblance to Rodgers, enough to call him a lookalike or a doppelganger.Here's the man in question, side by side Freeman McNeil Jersey with Rodgers:This old picture of what looks like an Aaron Rodgers doppelgnger was recently discovered. People are speculating it could be a relative. However that was quickly debunked when Rodgers was willing to talk about him. Tim Flanagan (@LMondelloGuy) MORE: The photograph surfaced recently on Ebay, where it received 20 bids and eventually sold for $202.50. The seller, Troy Woitas, told the Green Bay Pre s Gazette that he didn't know who the people in the photograph were."I found this Nathan Shepherd Jersey at an auction mixed in with other Braxton Berrios Jersey vintage pictures at Harry Lahr Auctions in Earlville, Iowa," ."Being a sports fan, I recognized the resemblance to Aaron Rodgers."This isn't the first time Rodgers has been mentioned with the word doppelganger. Actor Tom Wigglesworth bears a great resemblance to Rodgers, and the actor traveled to Green Bay to meet Rodgers . It seems unlikely that the unidentified man in this newly surfaced photograph will be able to travel to meet Rodgers.Rodgers doesn't always rock his mustache the way the man in the photograph has it. Lately, Rodgers has Jacob Martin Jersey gone with the full beard look. But maybe this newest lookalike will inspire Rodgers to break the 'stache back out.

But the fact that a team based in Washington made a joke about the current president apparently didn't sit well with the higher-ups. Because by Friday, the tweet NFL Miami Dolphins Jersey was deleted.interesting ... washington football team deleted its "stop the count" tweet Jordan Heck (@JordanHeckFF) Washington also had the same post on its Instagram page, and deleted it from there Terron Armstead Jersey as well.While teams don't typically explain why they delete posts, the decision likely came from the front office.

Someone is in the busine s of pedaling JJ Jon Bostic Jersey Watt rumors.The free-agent defensive end set the internet ablaze with a single tweet last week, that sent Browns, Bills and other NFL fans into an absolute frenzy.Before Watt announced his signing with the Arizona Cardinals, aPeloton profile that was supposedly Watt's was recently updated and had fans foaming Ryan Kerrigan Jersey at the mouth for any hint of Watt news once again.J.J. Watt has updated his Peloton bio and it now reads: SB56...GB...CLE...BUFIf nothing else, JJ has us all dialed in.(h/t ) Field Yates (@FieldYates) MORE: The Peloton profile was updated to read "SB...GB..CLE..BUF." Di secting it, it seems obvious: Super Jamin Davis Jersey Bowl 56, Green Bay, Cleveland, Buffalo, three teams thatwere rumored to be in on Watt's services.Watt chimed in, saying he doesn't own a bike, leading to some ambiguity over the Tweet, with Watt family member TJ Watt also weighing in.i dont own a bike. stop.

vallie.klein Sun, 08/14/2022 - 22:10
The tight end position is always among the thinnest in fantasy football, and with the fantasy playoffs in full swing, owners will be sweating out some key injuries at the position. Jacoby Brissett Jersey George Kittle (foot), Mike Gesicki (shoulder), and Noah Fant (illne s) are among the banged-up TEs, and they will surely have an impact on our Week 15 TE rankings and key start 'em, sit 'em decisions.For updates on injured RBs, such asRaheem Mostert, Antonio Gibson, Ronald Jones, andMyles Gaskin, ; for newson injured WRs, includingJulio Jones,Kenny Golladay, andDeVante Parker,.Forall the latest fantasy updates, follow uson Twitter .WEEK 15 STANDARD RANKINGS: | | | | | Is George Kittle playing this week?Kittle (foot) has been out since suffering a foot fracture against the Seahawks in Week 8, but he may end up returning to action this season. As was confirmed by NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, Kittle has been designated to return from IR by the 49ers, and now, his 21-day practice window will open. He can practice and at some point in those three weeks, he'll have to be activated off IR to play again this season.Because Kittle is still technically on IR, he won't have a practice status listed, so any updates on him will need to be watched closely. Kittle returning in BoPete Keyes Jersey Week 15 seems like a long shot, but he seems determined to return this season, so he's not worth dropping yet.As long as Kittle is out, Jordan Reed will be a worthwhile TE streamer, especially in a solid matchup against the Cowboys in Week James Morgan Jersey 15. Once Kittle is back, he should be a top-five TE barring any sort of snap count limit that will limit his opportunities.WEEK 15 DFS TOURNAMENT LINEUPS: | Is Mike Gesicki playing this week?UPDATE:Gesicki actually for the Dolphins, albeit on a limited basis. Now, his Friday performance will be key in determining whether or not he can play against the Patriots.Gesicki suffered a painful-looking shoulder injury against the Chiefs in Week 14. According to , Gesicki Philip Rivers Jersey is expected to mi s at least one game, so his owners shouldn't expect ot have him against the Patriots in Week 15.If Gesicki is out, Adam Shaheen would be the new top tight end for the Dolphins. He doesn't have as strong a rapport with Tua Tagovailoa as Gesicki does, nor is he good of a contested-catch playmaker, but he could have a shot at scoring if the Dolphins get near the end zone since Tua loves throwing to his TEs down there. Still, Shaheen is just a low-level streamer against a Patriots defense that has defended the TE position well.WEEK 15 FANTASY: | | Is Noah Fant playing this week?UPDATE:Fant has Rodrigo Blankenship Jersey been removed from the Broncos injury report, indicating that he will be available on Saturday against the Bills.Fant (illne s) exited the Broncos' win over the Panthers early as a result of a non-COVID-related illne s. He didn't return to the game.However, Fant should be ready to go for Saturday's Broncos-Bills game. He was listed as a non-participant at Tuesday's practice, which was just an estimate, but he returned for a full se sion on Wednesday. Now healthy, Fant will be a top-10 TE against a Bills defense that has had some i sues guarding tight ends this year.

Wide receiver is always the deepest position in fantasy foot
vallie.klein Sun, 08/14/2022 - 22:09
Wide receiver is always the deepest position in fantasy football. It's easy to get excited about Tyreek Hill, DeAndre Hopkins, or Stefon Diggs, but most fantasy football owners prefer to spend their early draft capitalon a running back or two. So, what's the strategy if you mi s out on the top-tier WRs? Just start grabbing guys indiscrimination in the third, fourth, and fifth rounds? This is where tiers comeinto play. Having an idea of how rankings separate into tiers is crucial at any position in fantasy, but especially so at WR, where thetop options and viable sleepers seemingly never end.A lot of the top-tier wideouts will be off the board quickly despite running backs dominating the top of the overall rankings. Tyreek Hill is the only wideout regularly being drafted in the first round, according to, so you could get a top-tier WR in the second round depending on where you draft.2021 STANDARD FANTASY RANKINGS:||||||Knowing when that first tier ends and second tier begins is important. You don't want to reach for Ty Long Jersey your No. 1 receiver when there are still stud RBs and someone like Travis Kelce still on the board. You always want to maximize value, and if you agree with us that there isn't much difference between, say, Allen Robinson and Keenan Allen, you can play it cool even if Robinson is the top remaining name on your draft big board and you don't have a WR yet.2021 PPR FANTASY RANKINGS:||||||Unlike other positions, low-tier players are often capable of big weeks at wideout. This isn't to say that you should wait until deep in the draft to start taking them, but it's important to have a knowledge of the receivers in the lower tiers and what they bring to the table. This can help you even early in the draft when you're at a cro sroads. Knowing how the rest of your draft could/will unfold John Hadl Jersey if you, say, pa s on your first WR for George Kittle early in the third round is important. Will you be happy with the sleepers available late as your WR4 or 5? If yes, then go ahead and take Kittle. If no, then grab a WR and focus on someone like Logan Thomas later in the draft.DOMINATE YOUR DRAFT: Ultimately, it's all about having a plan. Wide receiver requires le s of a strategy than any other position since there are so many options and you'll be taking them all throughout your draft, but you still want to be prepared for whatever comes your way. You can win with just about any approach, but loading up on receivers early is probably the riskiest. Sure, it's nice to look at your roster and see three bonafide No. 1 WRs for their respective teams, but when the 11th round comes along and you hate all the players on the board except the WRs, you'll wish you had a few earlier picks back.2021 FANTASY AUCTION VALUES (Standard & PPR): | | | | | | References to ADP (average draft position) will be for standard leagues and courtesy of .2021 FANTASY TIERS & DRAFT STRATEGY: | | | |2020 WR Ranking Tiers: Who are the best fantasy football wide receivers?Rankings and tiers based on standard, non-PPR leagues. PPR leagues could have different tiers, which is highlighted throughout text below.Tier 1:1 Tyreek Hill, Chiefs2 Davante Adams, Packers3 DeAndre Hopkins, Cardinals4 Stefon Diggs, BillsHill, Hopkins, and Adams remain from last year's top tier, with Diggs joining the exclusive club Brenden Jaimes Jersey . Not much needs to be said about Tier 1. They're all either being taken in the first round or early in the second. Adams, Hill, and Diggs were the top-three wideouts in fantasy last year, in that order. Hopkins finished at WR10 in standard but WR3 in PPR. He had his lowest touchdown total (6)in four seasons last year, and we can expect that number to see a jump.Even at all of their pricey ADPs, it's hard to argue against banging the table for one of them, especially if the top tier at running back pa ses you by in the first round.2021 FANTASY SLEEPERS: | | | | | Tier 2:5 DK Metcalf, Seahawks6 Calvin Ridley, Falcons7 Allen Robinson, Bears8 Justin Jefferson, Vikings9 A.J. Brown, Titans10 CeeDee Lamb, Cowboys11 Keenan Allen, ChargersIf you selected a WR in Tier 1, you may want to pick a running back before considering someone in Tier 2.This tier ranges from ADPs of about pick 19all the way to pick 44. There is incredible value among the guys in this tier. Read the names listed above, and picture any one of them landing in the top five at the end of the year. Would that really be a surprise? Of course not, which is why all are WR1 worthy.Metcalf Troy Reeder Jersey is the most expensive option among this tier, and for good reason. He's a walking tank with incredible deep-ball skills in an offense led by Ru sell Wilson. If you took a running back in the first round, Metcalf is definitely asolid way to follow that up. The running back closest to his ADP (21.5)is Antonio Gibson. If you aren't enamored with Gibson or dedicated to the idea of picking two runningbacks first, Metcalf makes all the sense in the world.Ridley's gain is Brown's lo s, at least in fantasy. If Julio Jones had remained in Atlanta with Ridley, it's likely that he and Brown, who now competes for targets for Jones, swap places in the rankings. Nonethele s, they both fit comfortably in the second wave of wideouts. They currently have an identical ADP of 23.8, but Ridley is much more likely to see a jaw-dropping number of targets in Atlanta. In PPR formats, Ridley is arguably Josh Harris Jersey in Tier 1, and has a little more cushion on Brown. JKDobbins and Clyde Edwards-Helaire are the top two running backs in this range.Allen and Jefferson bring a similar route-running savvine s to their games but have different skillsets. They will easily be candidates for 100-plus receptions, but a lot of Allen'sstandard-league succe s will depend on touchdowns;Jefferson creates chunk plays (more yards/reception thanMetcalf last year). Allen is going about nine picks after Jefferson, so depending on your draft position, you might even be able to land both. In PPR settings, they're both arguably in Tier 1.Robinson and Lamb are unquestionably the best values in this tier. At ADPs of 40.8and 44.0, respectively, they're a steal at this point in the draft. Robinson has been a steady top-12 WR in the past, and his quarterback situation likely better in Chicago. Lamb may fall even further than his ADP suggests in some leagues. He had a relatively quietbut fantastic rookie season. With Dak Prescott back at the helm in Dallas, Lamb is set for an explosive second-yearbreakout.DOMINATE YOUR DRAFT: Fantasy WR Rankings Tiers: Low-end WR1s, high-end WR2sTier 3:12 Mike Evans, Buccaneers13 Cooper Kupp, Rams14 Terry McLaurin, Washington15 Amari Cooper, Cowboys16 D.J.

Jimmy Garoppolo has received yet another vote of confidence
vallie.klein Sun, 08/14/2022 - 22:08
Jimmy Garoppolo has received yet another vote of confidence from 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan.Shanahan was askedWednesday whether rookie Trey Lance would receive more snaps for the 49ers in their Week 4 game against the Seahawks. The 49ers' coach reiterated that Lance would continue to be used sparingly as a part of the 49ers' game plan."Trey's our backup quarterback," Shanahan said, per . "This isn't the preseason. We're not just Arizona Cardinals Hats going back and forth all the time."NFL PICKS: | Shanahan is, of course, referencing San Francisco's preseason game plan that saw Garoppolo and Lance rotate frequently at the quarterback spot. In the team Arizona Cardinals Pet Gear 's preseason finale against the Raiders, Garoppolo played 14 of the first 24 snaps while Lance saw the other 10.However, Shanahan pointed out after that contest that he wasn't planning on using that rotation extensively during the regular season."We have put him Lance on the field," Shanahan said. "We do it in situations. You can go with whatever you want what I say in training camp and you can expand on that or not. But I think I was asked coming off the field of our third preseason game if we'd see this in the regular season, I said, 'probably not.' So, I think a lot of words have been put in Andre Baccellia Jersey my mouth with some of that stuff or exaggerated pretty big. So, I pretty much keep it pretty real to everyone, but I don't just tell everyone the answer."But I've been pretty consistent with what I've said."NFL POWER RANKINGS: To Shanahan's credit, he has used Lance situationally. Lance has played seven of the team's offensive snaps and has generated four rushes for three yards and a touchdown. He also had a 5-yard touchdown pa s in the 49ers' season-opener.Lance's touchdown in the dying seconds of the first half against the Packers may have led some to believe that he deserves more plays as a designed runner, especially with the 49ers mi sing running backs Raheem Mostert, JaMycal Hasty and Jeff Wilson Jr. But Shanahan remainsadamant that it will be better for Lance to continue his development on the bench and via an occasional advantageous situation within the game."There's Malcolm Butler Jersey not a quarterback battle right now," Shanahan said. "We're going with our starting quarterback who I think is playing very well. I'm happy that he is, so Trey is not thrown into any situations he has to do too early. If he ever is thrown into that, then I know Trey will deal with that and he'll get better as it goes, but we have a luxury where we don't have to do that yet to Trey or to our team."MORE: So, Garoppolo will continue to get a Aeneas Williams Jersey majority of reps over Lance. And as long as he continues to produce after posting 760 pa sing yards, four touchdowns and a pick in the first three games, he should continue to keep the No. 3 overall pick at bay.
