The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are in a weird position heading into their preseason Week 1 opener. Jameis Winston is having an impressive training camp, but he won’t be available once the regular season begins since his three-game suspension kicks in. But he can and will participate up to that point. And it appears as though Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill will take the field for the first time since December of 2016. Both clubs have plenty to prove as they head into a pivotal season for the... 

Perhaps there is no more enticing NFL play prop available than picking which quarterback will throw for the most passing yards in the upcoming 2018 season. There are the big-name understandable favorites such as Tom Brady, Drew Brees and Aaron Rodgers. And then there are the potential quality value picks such as Ben Roethlisberger, Matt Ryan, Russell Wilson and Philip Rivers. Strong cases can be made for any of these top-flight signal callers. And even long shots such as Dak Prescott are enticing to consider. This shapes up as one of the most competitive seasons for quarterback passing yardage in recent memory. ... 

The upcoming NFL season will feature an outstanding lineup of choices for NFL Defensive Player of the Year.

Now that the Hall of Fame game is out of the way, we should get a better idea of Matt Nagy’s offense when the Chicago Bears visit the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 1 of the NFL preseason. Several players who figure to be keys in the Bears offensive renaissance didn’t take the field in Canton, including Mitchell Trubisky, Jordan Howard and newcomer Allen Robinson. They are expected to see some action on Thursday. While the Bears got a head start on the preseason, Nagy is still searching for his firs... 

The debut of New York Giants coach Pat Shurmur will be overshadowed by the players on the field. Namely the first and second overall picks from the most recent draft. Shurmur was hired to clean up the mess left by Ben McAdoo, and because of the worst season in Big Blue history they were able to land Saquon Barkley to help the anemic running game. For the second straight season the Cleveland Browns had the top pick and selected polarizing Baker Mayfield to be their quarterback of the future. We’l... 

Preseason games are typically used to decide position battles and get players live game reps. However, this contest will be a little different after Buffalo Bills receiver Kelvin Benjamin was critical of former teammate and Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton.

The NFL season hasn’t even started, but the oddsmakers can be a fickle bunch, and they are already projecting which coach will be the first to lose his job.
