Tyreek Hill will not be playing for the Dolphins next season

Chase Brown will finish the season as a top 5 fantasy running back

NFL MVP this year... I just love Joe Burrow... This guy's close to winning a Triple Crown man past completion, percentage yards, touchdowns. And he gets outta trouble.

The Carolina Panthers are on the rise because Bryce Young showed significant improvement late last season

A team on the rise I think is Carolina... I we're pounding the drum beat Bryce Young... And I did not know I liked him as much as I did. And when you look at his last three or four games, five games, it was impressive. Yeah. I love the additions they've made.
