Fantasy Football News and Rumors

ESPN’s Seth Wickersham reports Caleb Williams considered forcing a pre-draft trade from the Bears before ultimately deciding he could win in Chicago.

In other words, he mulled pulling an Elway. “Chicago is the place quarterbacks go to die,” were the words of Caleb’s father Carl to ESPN’s Seth Wickersham. Williams reportedly desired a trade to the Vikings, but he changed his mind after touring the Bears’ facility. “I can do it for this team,” Caleb reportedly told his dad. “I’m going to go to the Bears.” Williams acknowledged any attempt to force a trade would require going scorched earth on the Bears and city of Chicago, a process he did not have the stomach for. There have been zero reports of Bears/Williams drama since he made his peace with the idea, even after former coach Matt Eberflus’ clown show 2024 mistakes. It’s an interesting story, but one firmly planted in the past.

"Titans head coach Brian Callahan said the team’s backfield could be a three-way split in 2025."

Or.....could not be.

The funniest thing would be the Titans thinking they'll have enough snaps on offense to use more than 1

Callahan said he envisions a more even split between Pollard and Spears, looks like the chuckleheads at NBC added the 3rd RB scenario entering the mix, can't find that part in any of his press conference quotes from today

Didn't they pretty much do that last year?

Not three, but certainly the two.

Callahan made the same comments last year, but then didnt follow thru. Pollard got the bulk of the work up until last few weeks, even when Spears was active.

Hard to say if Spears earned those extra touches down the stretch or new staff just wanted to see some more out of him before the season was over.

I'll take the over on Barkley TDs this season if this happens. Gonna bet the house

Tush push not banned, eagles fans everywhere....

Hurts getting ready for another season of being rammed up the ass any time they're within a few yards of a 1D or TD...

Lucky for Philly they can keep at it

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports the proposed ban of the tush push did not receive enough votes at the NFL owners’ meeting.
It was widely believed that the play was on the chopping block this week, but the Eagles pulled out all the stops, including flying in Jason Kelce for the meetings, to save their free touchdown play. Even after taking things to a second, more private session for further discussion, the ban did not receive the required 24 votes to pass. The ban could have shifted a few touchdowns from Jalen Hurts to Saquon Barkley, but the Eagles were always going to be the league’s best team in short-yardage situations. Hurts has at least 13 rushing touchdowns in each of the past three seasons. He remains a top-five fantasy quarterback with the tush push still in the playbook.

 

[molsaniceman]

NFL owners passed a rule allowing teams to declare an onside kick anytime while trailing.
Teams were only able to declare an onside kick in the fourth quarter before this change. They will now kick from the 34-yard line instead of the 35. The change is designed to increase the success rate of onside kicks, which sat at a dismal six percent last year. It’s hard to imagine such a minor tweak meaningfully changing the numbers on onside kicks. The NFL has refused to let the kickoff and, by extension, the onside kick die, but things continue to trend in that direction every year. Detroit’s proposal to change the playoff seeding rules was tabled while the tush push’s fate will be decided shortly.

I think people are making way too much of what a tush push ban would mean. You would still be able to quarterback sneak, you just wouldn't be able to push the quarterback from behind. If you watch most of Philly's plays anyway, the people pushing Hurts aren't doing much, it's mostly him and the offensive line, so banning that shit isn't going to stop them from doing it. People thinking that on the 1 yard line they still aren't going to run a quarterback sneak just because they can't push from behind are delusional. Or they are Barkley owners in fantasy.

Half of the teams's rushing TDs will belong to Kalel Mullings. He'll get it against New England.

Hope so.

They'll have even less snaps if they let Levus or Ward throw it. They'll need a good ground game to speed the game clock.
