Best in the nation? Jamal Adams was barely best in the building on Sunday night.The Seahawks safety had a unique way of introducing himself during Steelers-Seahawks player videos on Sunday night: Rather than say his college (LSU) or his high school (Hebron,

NFL fans can celebrate once again. We have made it through the quietest part of the league's calendar.June and the early weeks of July are often the least eventful parts of the NFL season, as most players and staff are taking time off before the season starts. That doesn't mean thatnothinghappens. There are some minor signings; and this year, we saw a major trade when Baker Mayfield was sent to the Panthers for a draft pick.Still, it's nowhere near as busy as NFL free agency or the lead-up to the draft, and NFL fans often get antsy waiting for the 2022 season to start.Now, they won't have to wait very long to see that happen.MORE:NFL training camps are now beginning to open and it won't be long before all of the NFL's 32 teams are back in action.

The Jaguars went into the halftime locker room Thursday night confident they could finish, get their first win of the seasonand give coach Urban Meyer his first NFL victory.But then the Bengals scored 24 points in the second half and won on a last-second

Meyer and the 0-4 Jags now have to wait until Oct. 10, when they face the Titans at home, to make another attempt at that elusive first "W."MORE:Alo s in a game he and his team were so close to winning left Meyer "heartbroken" and his head "spinning." But he also continued to sound confident that his players have to potential to succeed."Usually I'm not wrong about stuff like that, that I just see a good team in there," Meyer said."I see good guys, I see good hearts, I see guys that work. And I told them I'm not wrong. I'm not wrong about that stuff. This
Reggie White Jersey team is going to win some games."MORE:The Jaguars had a chance to go up 21-0 toward the end of the first half. Meyer pa
Quay Walker Jersey sed up a field goal attempt and went for it on fourth-and-goal from the Cincinnati 1. But quarterback Trevor Lawrence's sneak from the shotgun was stopped.Fans were wondering whether Jacksonville could have won had Meyer called for the field goal instead, but Meyer said he had "no doubt" about going for the touchdown.RIVERA: "Our defense was playing so well and then our offense, we felt like were blocking them, James (Robinson) was running the ball, our offensive line was pushing, controlling the
Krys Barnes Jersey line of scrimmage. That's a good sign," he said. "Usually you win those games, you take care of the ball and Trevor, your quarterback's getting those first downs. Yeah, I felt really good."A couple questions later in his pre s conference, he soundedjust as sure about this roster being capable of winning.FROM TRAINING CAMP:"I've said this from Day 1 is that the core of this team are good players andI thought we brought in some good
Bronson Kaufusi Jersey playersand we're getting better each week; we are getting better each week. Just sickening that you didn't win thatthing," Meyer said. "But like I told you, I'm not wrong about that, I'm not wrong about those guys in our room and they're going to keep swinging as hard as they po sibly can."
It's hard for Gardner Minshew to bring the magic from the sideline.The Jaguars' second-year quarterback was cleared to return from a thumb injury in late November, but Jacksonville (1-11)hasn't returned the starting role to Minshew. Instead, Mike Glennon has started the Jags' past two games, nearly leading them to an overtime upset of the Vikings. Jacksonville coach Doug Marrone already announced thatGlennon would remain the starter in Week 14 against the Titans."It's so frustrating," Minshew . "I pretty much went and begged before
Shane Zylstra Jersey the Cleveland game to be able to play. It sucks, you know, There's no way around it."
Jason Cabinda Jersey MORE: Minshew had been dealing with multiple fractures and a strained ligament in his right thumb since Week 5, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported, but Jacksonville didn't realize it until after Week 7. The Jags turned first to rookie Jake Luton before the veteran Glennon nabbed the past two starts.While Minshew had drawn rave reviews as a sixth-round rookie for his exciting play and brilliant mustache, his numbers were improved through seven weeks this season. He'd upped his completion percentage by about five percentage points while his pa sing yards per game was up by 32. After a Week 1 win, Jacksonville lost six-straight games with Minshew at the helm, despite the
Detroit Lions Home Office growth.The Jaguars sent a vote of confidence Minshew's way in the offseason when they traded veteran QB Nick Foles to the Bears, e sentially handing the keys to Minshew without a preseason quarterback competition. But he hasn't been given the reins right back after his thumb injury."We talked today and just like I've told him, I just want to see more practice," Marrone on Monday. "I think he's working on his volume and the amount of throws and all of that. Obviously he's cleared medically, but still you want to be able to see those things on the practice field. I just think right now in practice Mike is throwing better and gives us the best chance to win. I don't think Gardner's 100 percentas far as his workload, and that's always a concern to me, and I'm trying to understand it. We're both trying to work through it."The 2020 season lined
DeShon Elliott Jersey up to be Minshew's chance to show thathe was Jacksonville's quarterback of the future. But with the Jags' hold on the No. 2 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft being a strong one, Minshew's days as the Jaguars' starter might already be numbered. sent Ohio State quarterback Justin Fields to Jacksonville. In a draft loaded with quarterbacks even behind Trevor Lawrence (who will likely go No. 1), the Jags will have their pick for a face
T J Hockenson T Shirts of the franchise. What once looked like it might be Minshew's future may now be slipping away from him."I want to be out there," Minshew told ESPN on Monday."I want to be helping our team, but if helping our team is me being the best No. 2 I can be then that's what I've got to do right now."
Officiating was, unfortunately, at the forefront of many NFL fans' minds in wake of Super Bowl 56. The officials didn't call many penalties during the contest, but referee Ron Torbert and his crew were in the middle of a couple of controversial calls that could have swung the outcome of the game.The
Zach Wilson Jersey first one of note came on the first offensive play of the second half when the officials mi sed a blatant facemask penalty against Tee Higgins. The Bengals receiver threw Rams cornerback Jalen Ramsey to the ground
Zach Wilson T Shirts on a contested catch attempt by grabbing and pulling his facemask.Tee Higgins definitely got away with one. Grabbed Ramsey's facemask. Ari Meirov (@MySportsUpdate) Higgins went on to score a 75-yard touchdown. No penalty was called and that allowed the Bengals to take a 17-13 lead, their first of the game.IYER: The mi sed call appeared to be a clear error by the officiating crew, but Torbert doubled down on it after the game. The referee said in a pool report that the contact wasn't worthy of a pa s interference call."The crew did not see any contact that warranted pa s interference," Tolbert said following the contest. "It
Morgan Moses Jersey was a contested catch, and the crew didnt see any contact that rose to the level of pa s interference."BENDER: But what about the facemask penalty? Torbert explained that they didn't see "a grab and twist and turn" during the play. Thus, they didn't call it."Our rule is that if there is a grab and twist
Sheldrick Redwine Jersey and turn, theres enough for a foul," Torbert said. "If theres just a rake acro s the facemask, where theres not a twist and turn, even if theres a grab, there is no foul. The officials did not see any contact that rose to the level of a foul for a 15-yard facemask."NFL POWER RANKINGS: Torbert's explanation of the NFL's facemask rule is correct. However, there certainly was a grab and twist Higgins' touchdown, so it would appear that the crew simply mi sed the pull from the Bengals' receiver.That said, the Rams found themselves on the right side of another botched call later in the game, when the officials to give Los Angeles a first-and-goal opportunity.Torbert was not asked about
Breece Hall Jersey that sequence, which led to the Rams' game-winning score.
Two high-upside offenses are set to square off in the AFC Championship game, and there is no shortage of viable picks for DraftKings Showdown lineups. We're going with four Chiefs and two Bengals, but you could just as easily stack Bengals and fade Chiefs. With both QBs costing a ton and big-play pa s-catchers all over the field, you'll need
Miami Dolphins Jackets at least one or two value sleepers. We're (kind of) going that route with our "Captain" pick, but regardle s of your strategy, you'll likely have a chance to cash in your DFS tournaments well into the fourth quarter.Here are the important settings for DraftKings single-game contests: It'sfull-point PPR, and there are three-point bonuses for 300 pa sing yards, 100 rushing yards, and 100 receiving yards. The Captain pick costs 1.5 times a player's original price, but he also gets his point total multiplied by 1.5.MORE DK SHOWDOWN: DraftKings Showdown Picks: Bengals vs. Chiefs AFC Championship$50,000 budget, need at least one player from each team. Captain: (1.5x salary, 1.5x points): RB Jerick McKinnon, Chiefs ($7,500) With 33 touches (including 11 receptions) over his past two games, it seems clear McKinnon is the "1A" running back in Kansas City. At his relatively cheap price, he makes for a great "Captain" pick against a Bengals defense that finished in the top 10
Tua Tagovailoa Jersey in fantasy points allowed to RBs. McKinnon is unlikely to hit the 100-yard bonus, but he can rack up catches and find the end zone in what should be an up-and-down game.FLEX: QB Patrick Mahomes, Chiefs ($11,200) It's tough to put a lineup together without including Mahomes. Sure, you could be contrarian and fade him, but after 782 pa sing yards, 98 rushing yards, and nine total TDs the past two games, do you really want to? The only real question is whether to pay the premium for Mahomes as your "Captain." We opted not to, hoping McKinnon steals a rushing TD, but big points from Mahomes seems like a lock.FANDUEL SINGLE-GAME LINEUPS: | FLEX: QB Joe Burrow, Bengals ($10,400) Burrow is coming off a zero-TD game, but he posted 348 pa sing yards
Will Fuller V Jersey despite dodging Titans pa s-rushers on seemingly every play. Just four weeks ago, Burrow threw for 446 yards and four touchdowns against the Chiefs, and with Kansas City's secondary banged up, he should have another big showing. Chances are, he'll have to air it out often to keep up with Mahomes, giving him major upside.FULL-SLATE DFS LINEUPS: | FLEX: TE Travis Kelce,
Austin Jackson Jersey Chiefs ($8,800) After posting fewer than 35 yards in four of the final five games of the regular season, Kelce has come alive in the playoffs, catching 13 pa ses for 204 yards. He has scored in five straight contests, so even when he hasn't done much through the air, he's produced. The Bengals allowed the fifth-most fantasy points to TEs in the regular season, so Kelce is in a prime spot to keep the good times rolling.DRAFTKINGS SHOWDOWN LINEUPS: FLEX: RB Joe Mixon, Bengals ($9,000) Mixon is a well-known starting RB, but he's still a bit of a contrarian play after the Chiefs shut down Najee Harris and limited Devin Singletary the past two games. Mixon hasn't done a ton through two playoffs games himself, but he's received 41 total touches, including 10 catches. He'll be on the field a ton against Kansas City, and he's a good candidate for 100 total yards and a score. A few big runs could
Miami Dolphins Pet Gear get him over the 100-rushing-yard plateau, making him a great "Captain" candidate.FLEX: WR Demarcus Robinson, Chiefs ($3,000) By grabbing both QBs, Mixon, and Kelce, we don't have a lot of money left for this final spot. Robinson received just one target last week, so hopefully he's off everyone's radar. However, the week before, he caught four-of-five targets for 76 yards, and against the Bengals in Week 17, he caught both of his targets for 33 yards and a TD. There's plenty of upside here, but obviously there's a low floor, too. For $3,000, that's all we can ask for.
The anatomy of an outbreak?As it turns out, the biggest storyline coming out of Monday night's 26-10 Chiefs win over the Patriots has surfaced two days later, with
Emmitt Smith Jersey New England cornerback Stephon Gilmore testing positive for the coronavirus.Per Pro Football Talk, Gilmore was a player who was in close contact with Patriots quarterback Cam Newton, who had tested positive just a day before the originally scheduled Sunday matchup between the Patriots and the Chiefs.MORE: Gilmore met up with Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes after Kansas City's Monday night win, giving him a hug and sharing some words before heading off the field.Postgame with Stephon Gilmore and Patrick Mahomes New England PatriotsNation (@PatsNationTM) That's Stephon Gilmore

The USFL is entering the final week of its 10-week regular season,
Washington Commanders Kids Jersey and there are no longer any unbeaten teams.The Birmingham Stallions lost for the first time in Week 9. Despite being heavily favored against the Houston Gamblers, their 1-7 divisional rival pulled off the biggest upset in the upstart league's short history.As such, the Stallions will enter Week 9 with an 8-1 record, and instead of focusing on an undefeated season, their focus will shift to the postseason.MORE:The USFL's four-team playoff field is now set, as the final available playoff spot was clinched by the New Orleans Breakers in Week 9. They will play the Stallions in the postseason while the New Jersey Generals will square off against the Philadelphia Stars in both Week 10 and the first round of the playoffs.Here's everything to know about the USFL's Week 10 schedule, including how to watch and live stream all four games.USFL schedule Week 10: What games are on today?Here's the full schedule for the final week of the 2022 USFL regular season, including how to watch each game live.Saturday, June 18GameKickoff time (ET)TV channelNew Jersey Generals (8-1) vs. Philadelphia Stars (6-3)12 p.m.USA,Tampa Bay Bandits (4-5) vs. Birmingham Stallions (8-1)4 p.m.Fox,Sunday, June 19GameKickoff time (ET)TV channelPittsburgh Maulers (1-8) vs. Michigan Panthers (1-8)12 p.m.USA,Houston Gamblers (2-7) vs. New Orleans Breakers (6-3)8:30 p.m.FS1,Saturday USFL games TV channels, live streamsHere's how to watch the two USFL games that will be played Saturday.Generals vs. StarsKickoff:12 p.m. ETTV channel:NBCLive stream:Odds (via):Generals -2.5 (-120) | Stars +2.5 (-120)The Generals and Stars are set to play against one another in the first round of the 2022 USFL playoffs, so it's fair to wonder whether they will rest players in this contest. Both sides surely want to win, but neither wants to lose a key playmaker on either side of the ball at this stage in the season. They also don't want to tip their hand about potential plans for their playoff meeting in Canton.As such, it's hard to say exactly what will happen in this week's game. In all likelihood, the Stars will give backup
Cole Holcomb Jersey quarterback K.J. Costello some reps as they did against the Maulers while the Generals could spell De'Andre Johnson and Luis Perez with third-string quarterback Kyle Lauletta.Either way, expect to see a lot of backups get significant action in this game, whether it's for the entirety of the contest or during the second half.Bandits vs. StallionsKickoff:4 p.m. ETTV channel:FoxLive stream:Odds (via):Stallions -4.5 (-120) | Bandits +4.5 (-120)The Stallions' dreams of an undefeated season came to an end in Week 9 when they lost to the Gamblers despite being 12.5-point favorites. Now, the USFL's de facto home team will have to settle for competing for the league's inaugural title instead of an undefeated season.It's unclear how Birmingham will manage its roster in Week 10. On one hand, they have the No. 1 seed in the South Division locked up, so they could
Chase Young Jersey opt to sit some of their starters. On the other hand, Skip Holtz may want to see his team respond to a lo s, so the likes of J'Mar Smith, Bo Scarbrough and Scooby Wright could see action against the Bandits.Speaking of Tampa Bay, their 17-6 lo s to New Orleans eliminated them from playoff contention, so they are playing for pride. Jordan Ta'amu is coming off a strong game with his legs (90 rushing yards) and hit some big pa ses. He will provide the Stallions with a test as he looks to prove that he deserves a shot to join an NFL roster.Sunday USFL games TV channels, live streamsHere's how to watch the two USFL games that will be played Sunday.Maulers vs. PanthersKickoff:12 p.m. ETTV channel:USALive stream:Odds (via):Panthers -2.5 (-120) | Maulers +2.5 (-120)This might be the only game in the USFL where both teams have something for which to play. Both of these teams have woeful 1-8 records, and the loser of this contest will officially earn the title of the USFL's worst team.The Panthers shut out the Maulers 24-0 earlier in the season
Antonio Gibson Jersey and have a much better offense than the Maulers. Michigan averages 19.8 points per game thanks to their strong run game headlined by Reggie Corbin, Stevie Scott and Cameron Scarlett.Meanwhile, Pittsburgh is alternating Vad Lee and Roland Rivers III at quarterback and have averaged just 14 points per game this season. Unle s the Maulers can slow down the Panthers' running game, they will have trouble beating Michigan.Gamblers vs. BreakersKickoff:8:30 p.m. ETTV channel:FS1Live stream:Odds (via):Breakers -4.5 (-120) | Gamblers +4.5 (-120)The Breakers earned the fourth and final USFL playoff spot with their win over the Bandits in Week 9. They are now set to play Birmingham who they have lost to twice in the playoffs and will likely spend
Terry Mclaurin T Shirts a lot of time game-planning to beat their rivals.New Orleans quarterbacks Kyle Sloter and Zach Smith are both banged up, so Larry Fedora may opt to rest them this week and let Shea Patterson start. Patterson had his share of struggles with the Panthers, so Jordan Ellis, Anthony Jones and New Orleans' running game will have to carry the team.As for the Gamblers, their defense played an excellent game against the Stallions to earn a signature win for Kevin Sumlin's squad. Chris Odom and Donald Payne will need to step up again to give Houston's lackluster offense a chance to stick with the Breakers. But if New Orleans uses its third-string quarterback, the Gamblers could finish the season with back-to-back wins.
We're a month into the regular season, and tight ends as a whole have been underwhelming. However, we are getting a few breakouts here and there, and maybe, just maybe, we can start to feel confident about the pecking order after the elites at the top. Our Week 5 fantasy TE PPR rankings are based on
Shon Coleman Jersey matchups and a month's worth of stats, but at this position, we know top-five weeks can come out of nowhere (see C.J. Uzomah and Mo Alie-Cox).Rob Gronkowski (ribs) might be sidelined for several weeks and bye weeks begin in Week 6, and Logan Thomas suffered a hamstring injury that knocked him out of most of Week 4. This scarce position is about to get even thinner. Because of that, all of the top players will be in lineups, regardle s of disappointing they've been or how tough their matchups are. George Kittle (@ Cardinals) and even Noah Fant (@ Steelers) should be in your lineups despite potentially having new QBs this week. (Update: Kittle is unlikely to play this week.)WEEK 5 STANDARD RANKINGS: | | | | | However, players on the start-or-sit bubble, such as Dallas Goedert (@ Panthers), warrant concern. Goedert looked like he might be a must-start each week heading into the season,
Grover Stewart Jersey but we've seen how pedestrian the Eagles' pa sing offenseis, and the Panthers have been one of the top defenses in football. Still, they struggled mightily against Dallas' tight ends last week, so Goedert is still in play, as both him and Zach Ertz seem to be the top targets near the goal line.WEEK 5 PPR RANKINGS: | | | | Mike Gesicki (@ Buccaneers), Dalton Schultz (vs. Giants), Dawson Knox (@ Chiefs), Tyler Conklin (vs. Lions), and Week 4 breakout, C.J. Uzomah (vs. Packers) look to have higher ceilings this week. Schultz benefits from playing a lackluster Giants defense; Gesicki gets a Bucs pa s defense that has been torched will ease, and Uzomah plays the Packers in what should be a high-scoring affair. Uzomah only has one week of top-level play, but the Packers have given up the third-most fantasy points to tight
Andrew Sendejo Jersey ends heading into Week 4. We're not nearly as sold on him as Schultz and Knox, so start him at your own risk, but why play it safe and only start guys with "safe floors" when those floors are five-to-six points. We should point out that Schultz gets a bump in PPR leagues while Knox and Uzomah take slight hits.WEEK 5 DFS LINEUPS: | | Hunter Henry (@ Houston) and Jonnu Smith (@ Houston) had been the biggest disappointments until they each scored last week, but come on, it's the Texans. Henry looks like the nominal"lead guy," here, but you never know how things will play out in any given week.MORE WEEK 5 DFS: | | Injury fill-ins Cameron Brate (vs. Dolphins) and Ricky Seals-Jones (vs. Saints) have both produced in the past, so they're intriguing boom-or-bust plays. You could also try Evan Engram (vs. Cowboys) if the Giants' WRs continue to deal with injuries. Engram couldn't do anything the past two weeks, though, so you'd really be relying on garbage

Kenneth Murray Jr. Jersey the latest numbers, our product updates multiple times per day. Indianapolis (vs. Green Bay)There may not be another team this season for which the public has been in such frequent disagreement with the oddsmakers as the Colts. The Colts are actually a one-point favorite in this game, but the public is taking them just 28 percentof the time. We've seen Indianapolis appear as a value play in at least half of the weeks played so far, most recently last week, when le s than 20 percentof the public was picking the Colts against the Titans even though Indy was the slight favorite in the betting markets.That value play last week got our picks off to a hot start, and we rolled the public in Week 10 by going 4-0 in games where the public picked a favorite le s frequently than the win odds suggested they should.Green Bay has certainly been a really good team in 2020, but the public is still sleeping on the Colts, especially how good their defense has been when all of the key players are healthy.Indianapolis ranks No. 1 in fewest yards allowed per game and ranks in the top five in pretty much every defensive category. They also rank fifth overall in net yards per pa s on offense, and despite Philip Rivers being viewed as a turnover machine, Indy ranks near the the bottom of the league in turnovers, as well
Kyle Van Noy Jersey .This is a matchup between two top contenders, and Indianapolis is at home. More important, getting a favorite at a popularity discount is one of the best situations you can hope for in a pick 'em pool.Baltimore (vs. Tenne see)The Ravens are coming off an upset lo s to the Patriots, and they are playing the team that knocked them out of the playoffs a year ago in stunning fashion. So, it's no surprise that over 20 percentof the public is thinking upset in this gameeven though the Ravens are a six-point favorite in the betting markets.Compared to other teams with similar win odds, though, Baltimore is being undervalued here. The Ravens are the fifth-largest favorite of the weekbut ninth in pick popularity. In fact, several teams favored
Dustin Hopkins Jersey by fewer than fourpoints are currently being picked more often by the public than Baltimore is.That makes Baltimore a set-it-and-forget-it pick in game-winner formats. Lock in a reasonably large favorite, and focus any potential upset picking on teams with a much better risk/reward profile this week than Tenne see.Houston (vs. New England)This game features the proverbial moveable object versus the resistible force. The Texans' defense has been a major problem this year, but Houston also faces a New England team that has been inconsistent on offense and has thrown an NFL-worst five touchdown pa ses.To begin with, it's probably wise not to read too much into last week's results from these teams on account of the extreme weather conditions each faced. Houston vs. Cleveland was a me s because of the wind and New England upset Baltimore in a driving, cold rain.The oddsmakers have New England as the slightest of favorites here (-1), while our models are more optimistic about Houston's chances. That difference is moot, though, considering Houston's much lower pick popularity of only around 35 percent.Even going by betting market odds, for a very small amount of incremental risk, Houston offers a chance to differentiate your entry from over 65 percent of your opponents.To see the picks for the rest of the Week 11 slate that maximize your odds to win your NFL pick 'em pool, check out the.It's the only product available that customizes picks based on the dynamics of your specific pools.Football Picks From TeamRankings: | | Week 11 NFL Survivor Pool AdviceThe Los Angeles Chargers are the most popular survivor choice this week, with over 40 percentof the public taking them against the winle s Jets. However, the 2-7 Chargers arent all
Los Angeles Chargers Pet Gear that safe of a play for a team so popular, with win odds of around 76 percent. Of the seven other teams this year that have had 30-percentpopularity or more, all but one had win odds of 81 percentor better.The Chargers are the most frequent choice this week because they have little future valueand because they are still available to most survivor pool entries. You might have a higher value option available to you, though, given how strongly the public is on the Chargers this week.For example, we recommended our subscribers largely refrain from using the Pittsburgh Steelers two weeks ago in Dallasbecause the Steelers would have great future value in coming weeks, when fewer entries could use them.That includes this week, where Pittsburgh is a larger favorite than the Chargers (-10 for Pittsburgh
Rashawn Slater Jersey versus -8.5 for the Chargers) but is being used far le s. Pittsburgh has the highest expected value of the week, if you still have them available to select. The Minnesota Vikings are the other semi-popular choice (29 percent) this weekwhen they play Dallas.Of course, the best Week 11 pick for your survivor pool this week depends on a lot of things, like how many entries are still alive, whether you face double picks in later weeks (or other non-standard rules), and what teams you've used so far.
