Subscribe to The Yahoo Sports NFL Podcast Terez Paylor & Charles Robinson open the podcast this week discussing the state of a handful of rosters as the NFL trade deadline fast approaches. With a reduced salary cap coming next year, we can expect a lot of teams to be sellers, but which teams will be buyers, like the Detroit Lions & Seattle Seahawks, who made defensive additions in Everson Griffen and Carlos Dunlap, respectively? Could the New England Patriots deal last year’s Defensive Player… Source link

Baseball crowned a champion on Tuesday night. It also created a confusing and reckless set of circumstances. The league ordered the Dodgers to remove third baseman Justin Turner from the Game Six of the World Series in the eighth inning, after receiving confirmation that he had tested positive for COVID-19. Setting aside the question of how he got it in the postseason bubble created in Arlington, and whether others in the L.A. organization are squarely in the incubation period, the far bigger… Source link

The Colts have an elite offensive line and their defense plays strong enough to keep the team in mostly positive game scripts. The offense can keep the running game going most weeks. [Week 8 Fantasy Rankings: QBs | RBs | WRs | TEs | FLEX | DST | Kickers] So why are we still waiting for the big Jonathan Taylor game? Outside of Week 2, Taylor hasn’t gotten close to scoring 20 fantasy points, even though he’s getting his fair share of touches. But maybe that changes in Week 8 in an… Source link

For a while, it seemed like Russell Wilson and the Seahawks could do no wrong. [Week 8 Fantasy Rankings: QBs | RBs | WRs | TEs | FLEX | DST | Kickers] They were undefeated and Wilson was playing at perhaps the highest level of his career. But then, a bit of a stumble occurred during the ‘Hawks loss against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 7. Wilson threw three interceptions — one of which was nearly returned for a touchdown if not for DK Metcalf’s inhuman heroics. Should we… Source link

It’ll be the battle between two AFC powerhouses when Ben Roethlisberger and the 6-0 Pittsburgh Steelers square off against Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens. Welcome to Week 8! Other intriguing matchups include: Tua Tagovailoa will make his NFL debut when the Dolphins host the Rams, the Cam Newton and Patriots will try to right the ship against the division-leading Buffalo Bills, while Davante Adams and Aaron Rodgers will try to build off their massive Week 7 performances against the… Source link

NFL exec: Patriots have ‘worst group of skill players’ in football originally appeared on NBC Sports Boston The New England Patriots have had some of the NFL’s most explosive and highest-scoring offenses over the last two decades. The 2020 version is sagging behind immensely. This year’s Patriots offense has many issues, but the biggest problem is probably a glaring lack of high-end talent at running back, wide receiver and tight end — aka, the skill positions. One anonymous NFL executive put… Source link

The Bills have a stout defense on paper, but you wouldn’t be able to tell by their showing the last two weeks. [Week 7 Fantasy Rankings: QBs | RBs | WRs | TEs | FLEX | DST | Kickers] Buffalo got torn up by both the Tennessee Titans and the Kansas City Chiefs, allowing 25-plus points (42 to Tennessee!) and getting hurt on both the ground and the air. They’ll get a clear bounce-back opportunity in Week 7, however, when they face the 0-6 Jets. Check out the Bills and the rest of… Source link

After the Dolphins’ 24-0 win over the Jets came to an end, reporters at the game shared pictures of quarterback Tua Tagovailoa on the field by himself after everyone else went to the locker room. Tagovailoa was on a video call with his parents, who weren’t at Sunday’s game to see their son play in the NFL for the first time. Tagovailoa completed two passes for nine yards after replacing Ryan Fitzpatrick for the final two minutes of the game. “I think it was a very special moment for me… Source link

We’ll follow up with Andy Behrens’ full version of pickups on Monday, but first up, some early options to consider ahead of Week 7 waiver claims. Let it be known that Andy Behrens has suggested Tim Patrick in this space before! Once again Patrick dominated in looks, catches, and yards for the Broncos, turning just four receptions into 101 yards. That will make it three straight games with at least four catches for Patrick, not to mention 100+ yard-games in two out of three and a score in… Source link

Richard Sherman has lashed out at the NFL’s COVID-19 plans. Now he’s convinced the NFL will go through with the 2020 season no matter what. The outspoken San Francisco 49ers cornerback told Pro Football Focus during an Instagram Live session Monday that he doesn’t see the NFL shutting the season down because of the pandemic. “I don’t see the league saying, ‘Hey, we’re going to shut down if 10 people get it, 15 people get it, 50 people get it,’” Sherman said, per the San Jose… Source link
