Clemson running back Travis Etienne is returning to school for his senior year and will bypass the 2020 NFL Draft, but can he be a first-rounder in 2021? Clemson is going to be pretty good next year. Dabo Swinney won’t have a bigger recruit this year than convincing running back Travis Etienne to return for
The balance that exists between the Chiefs’ offense and defense will be the difference in Sunday’s AFC championship game in Kansas City. The Tennessee Titans beat the Chiefs, 35-32, in week #10 of the 2019 season, but a lot has changed since that November 10th contest. It was the last game that the Chiefs lost
The San Francisco 49ers defense will sack Green Bay quarterback Aaron Rodgers at least four times and secure a place in Super Bowl LIV (54) by beating the Packers in Sunday’s NFC championship game in San Francisco. The NFC championship should be controlled by the 49ers defense. What will that mean from a fantasy standpoint?
In nine years out of Stanford University, San Francisco 49ers cornerback Richard Sherman is cementing his legacy as a future Pro Football Hall of Famer.

Mike Vrabel played the bulk of his NFL career with the New England Patriots, but we’d be doing him a disservice to say he’s truly a Bill Belichick disciple. Mike Vrabel is different. He coaches the Tennessee Titans with the same ferocious energy he used to play 14 years in the NFL with three different
The coronation is here, as Patrick Mahomes will find redemption in this year’s AFC Championship to emerge as the unquestioned best quarterback in football. All that stands in the way of the Kansas City Chiefs’ first trip to the Super Bowl since 1969 is the plucky Tennessee Titans. After a frustrating 6-4 start to the
The Kansas City Chiefs have spent much of the last 50 years creating crippling anxiety for their fans. Suddenly, that’s all starting to disappear. Just writing this column is terrifying. Unless you root for a team that has broken your heart, taped it back together and then laughed while ripping it up again, you can’t
The Green Bay Packers were no match for the San Francisco 49ers when the teams first met in Week 12, so Matt LaFleur has some work to do to flip the script on Sunday night. The NFC Championship game will be a rematch of what was supposed to be an epic regular-season matchup. The NFL
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin had a remarkable 2019 season in fantasy football, but it’s not wise for you to overdraft him next season. Even though they finished 7-9 and missed the playoffs for the 12th straight season, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers were one of the most interesting watches this year, especially on
The San Francisco 49ers passed on Aaron Rodgers in the 2005 NFL Draft. He has the opportunity to make them regret it this Sunday. Aaron Rodgers is widely regarded as one of the greatest quarterbacks of the past decade. Despite that, he still has a chip on his shoulder pertaining to one thing: the San
In a pass-heavy league, Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry has made running the football cool again in the NFL. Three yards and a cloud of dust. That was the offensive philosophy football was built on over the years. It’s not pretty. However, in recent decades, football has become a more increasingly passing-centric league. From
There are no excuses on Sunday. Andy Reid has to beat his perpetual nemesis in the Tennessee Titans at home in the AFC Championship for his legacy’s sake. For the last 21 seasons, Andy Reid has been an offensive institution at head coach for two of the proudest franchises in football. The former Green Bay

Joe Burrow threw for 5,761 yards and 60 touchdowns in his unforgettable 2019 for the LSU Tigers. Here are some NFL comparisons for him ahead of the draft. We just saw the greatest single-season out of a college football quarterback in 150 years of the sport. What Joe Burrow did with the 2019 LSU Tigers
This year’s Heisman Trophy winner could soon become another face of the AFC. Joe Burrow has the opportunity to join some elite company next season. To say LSU quarterback Joe Burrow had a good 2019 season would be doing him a gigantic disservice. After a campaign for the ages, the senior signal-caller could soon join
