In the Yahoo Fantasy Football Forecast, Matt Harmon and Scott Pianowski discuss the Philadelphia Eagles offense led by Jalen Hurts, and debate if it is the best offense for fantasy in the NFC.

One of the most common ways to get started on your fantasy football preparation for the season ahead is to not only look at positional rankings but also at the state of each NFL team’s offense. Which teams are most set up for success? Which teams are set to struggle? Which of those expected bottom-feeder teams have latent fantasy talent to mine from? Which of those top teams could actually disappoint fantasy managers? [Set, hut, hike! Create or join a fantasy football league now!] Throughout… Source link

Once Aaron Rodgers decided, with the help of a monstrous contract, to return to the Green Bay Packers it seemed the NFC North race was already over. The Packers have won three NFC North championships in a row. The Packers might not be quite as good as previous years, but it’s not like the rest of the division is positioned to beat them. The Packers are the third biggest favorite to win their division in BetMGM’s odds, behind only the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Buffalo Bills. That speaks to the… Source link

The AFC has a five-game Pro Bowl win streak though there was some late drama. The AFC scored 13 consecutive points in the second half to open up a 20-point lead at one point before holding on for a 41-35 win in a turnover-filled game. The two teams combined for eight turnovers. Seven of them were interceptions and six of them happened in the first half. Justin Herbert’s fourth-quarter interception with the AFC up 41-28 gave the NFC a chance to get back into the game and cut the deficit to… Source link

INGLEWOOD, Calif. — Walk around SoFi Stadium before Sunday’s NFC championship game, and it’s easy to forget who the home team is. A sea of red-clad San Francisco 49ers fans poured into parking lots a few hours before kickoff despite the Rams’ best efforts all week to protect their home-field advantage. One carload of 49ers supporters honked their horn and waved team gear out their windows as they approached the stadium. Other big groups of 49ers fans posed for pictures in front of the… Source link

How does NFL playoff expansion look? It’s with three deeply flawed 7-7 teams fighting for the No. 7 seed in the NFC.  More often than not that extra playoff team will be mediocre at best, and coming down the stretch we have three .500 teams battling it out for the postseason. Barring a collapse, it seems the NFC West will have three teams in: Rams, Cardinals and 49ers. That leaves one wild-card spot for the Minnesota Vikings, New Orleans Saints or Philadelphia Eagles (or, if things really… Source link

Two bad plays from Kyler Murray. That’s all it took to change the Arizona Cardinals’ footing in the NFC, and maybe the NFC West too.  That’s why the NFL is so hard. The Cardinals had the league’s best record until Monday night kicked off. Then the Cardinals lost 30-23 to the Los Angeles Rams — and had a chance to at least tie after a late onside kick recovery, but Aaron Donald ended the game with a sack — and will wake up Tuesday as the No. 3 seed in the NFC.  That’s three months of… Source link
