Not all fantasy football cheat sheets and sleeper lists are created equal. With so many experts and so many sites, it can be overwhelming to figure out the best source for overall player rankings from one year (and draft) to the next. The constantly updated consensus rankings at Fantasy Pros are a helpful composite, but even with other sites gaining popularity heading into 2022, chances are many will be drafting and playing most of their leagues on either Yahoo or ESPN. Although Yahoo… Source link

The Lancaster Police Department announced on Sunday that Yaqub Salik Talib is wanted as a suspect in the shooting that took place after a reported disagreement between between a coaching staff and an officiating crew at a youth football field at Lancaster Community Park on Saturday. Per the LPD: “Upon arrival, officers… Source link

Average draft position fluctuates throughout the months leading up to the NFL regular season, and never more so than when teams hit the field in pads for the first time. Players drastically fall up and down the draft board as injury news, depth chart battles, and the like begin to trickle out of training camps and preseason games. It’s easy for players to get lost in the weeds, being completely forgotten about as we try to adjust on the fly to the newest available information. That’s why… Source link

When consensus first-round fantasy draft pick Austin Ekeler isn’t slicing through defenses this fall, he’ll be moonlighting in a gig that feels rather appropriate, if not a little meta: fantasy football analyst. Driving the news: The Chargers running back’s weekly fantasy football show, “Ekeler’s Edge,” is returning to Yahoo Sports for a second season starting Sept. 7. The video and podcast series will run on 18 consecutive Wednesdays as Ekeler and co-host Matt Harmon, a Yahoo fantasy analyst,… Source link

Subscribe to The College Football Enquirer Dan Wetzel & SI’s Pat Forde kick off this Sunday night podcast rehashing last week’s press conference from Pac-12 commissioner George Kliavkoff, who defiantly attempted to beat back the Big 12 with the proclamation, “No Pac-12 team is joining the Big 12.” The guys break down the commissioner’s intransigent words from the podium as the vultures seem to be circling for top schools like Washington and Oregon. Later in the show, Dan & Pat dissect some… Source link

The Houston Texans drafted Deshaun Watson in 2017. He missed most of his rookie season with an injury, but when he returned, the Texans won football games. They made the playoffs in 2018 and 2019, and even won a playoff game against the Buffalo Bills. With a young quarterback at the controls, it looked like the Texans were set up to be a consistently good team in the AFC for years to come. Things changed quickly. They basically gave away an elite wide receiver in DeAndre Hopkins. They won… Source link

A Texas arena football league game devolved into chaos and violence that spilled into the stands on Saturday, evoking shades of the Malice at the Palace. The incident occurred at the end of an interleague game between the Texas United Football League’s Dallas Prime and the Arena Football Association’s West Texas Warbirds at Odessa’s Ector County Coliseum. Jackob Brandeburg of CBS7 shared video of the brawl that broke out between players in multiple locations along the end zone concourse. A… Source link

Back in January, on the day when two of his schools (Georgia and Alabama) would again compete for the national championship, SEC commissioner Greg Sankey made a final pitch for the establishment of a new College Football Playoff. It featured 12 teams. The field would be made up of six guaranteed bids to the top six conference champions, plus six more selected by a committee. The top four champs would receive a first-round bye. The opening-round games would be played on the campus of the… Source link

The NFL wants to add American football to the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles, but not the breed of American football its fans are used to. Troy Vincent, the league’s executive vice president of football operations, will work alongside International Federation of American Football president Pierre Trochet as co-chairs of the “Vision28” group, an effort to add flag football to the Los Angeles Games, the NFL announced Wednesday. No form of American football has been seen at the Olympics since 1932,… Source link

Just about everyone in college football spent their Fourth of July weekend talking, texting and sitting through meetings about what will happen next in conference realignment and what, if anything, each school and league can do to either protect or maximize itself going forward. The move revealed Thursday that USC and UCLA will join the Big Ten and thus decimate the Pac-12 has led to panic and confusion. What six months ago was a Power Five with a lucrative, fair playoff plan on the table is… Source link
