A.J Thurman Thomas Jerseys . Brown has had a tough time staying healthy so far in 2020. The Titans' talented receiver has played in just three of their five games this season as he dealt with a bone bruise in his knee that kept him out of action for the better part of a month. After a couple of great performances, Brown looked to be out of the woods, buthis knee injury might be back, which will force his fantasy ownersto monitor injury updates ahead of their Week 7'em, sit 'em decisions.For more fantasy news, follow us on Twitter .WEEK 7 STANDARD RANKINGS: | | | | | Is A.J. Brown playing this week?UPDATE:Brown practiced on Friday and Ike Boettger Jerseys is not on the Titans final injury report.Brown (knee) practiced in full for the Titans on Wednesday afternoon, but according to , he was out on Thursday because of Marquez Stevenson Jerseys the knee injury.Thisputs his Week 7 status into question, and it will make Friday's practice report paramount for his chances of playing.It's po sible that Brown could've just been receiving a maintenance day for his knee, but the fact that this came the day after he logged a full practice is a bit concerning. Usually, teams give players the first practice of the week off if they're going to let them rest, so the fact that Brown was downgraded in Jamie Gillan Jerseys Thursday's se sion isn't a great sign.WEEK 7 PPR RANKINGS: | | | | | If Brown can't go, then Corey Davis, who has returned from the COVID list, will be in line to be the Titans' No. 1 receiver. Davis has averaged 5.0 catches and 68.7 yards per game so far this season, so he could be a nice play against a Steelers defense that gives up Harrison Phillips Jerseys the seventh-most fantasy points per game to WRs (26.8). Additionally, Adam Humphries and TE Jonnu Smith will be in line for more targets as middle-of Kent Hull Jerseys -the-field threats for Ryan Tannehill.Brown's owners will need to watch his status closely on Friday, and if he's declared out, they may have to find a streamer to use in place of him. Luckily, there are plenty of quality options to target in , so there should still be some worthwhile players on the waiver wire if fantasy owners need them.

Jason Pierre-Paul has played in one Super Bowl in his career. That was in February 2012, against Tom Brady, a Giants victory.Pierre-Paul is one win away from another Super Bowl Los Angeles Rams Men Jersey appearance. This time, Brady is his team's quarterback.The 32-year old defensive end is in his third season with the Buccaneers after eight years with the Giants. He recorded 9.5 sacks this year, taking his three-year Tampa Bay total up to 30.5, and JPP also grabbed his first two interceptions since 2013 this season. Maybe Pierre-Paul isn't quite the player he was in his New York days, but he's still an impact pa s rusher on a strong defensive line where he teams with Ndamukong Suh, Shaq Barrett and Vita Vea.Even more notable for some casual football fans, Pierre-Paul is now nearing the end of the sixth season he's played since injuring his right hand in a 2015 fireworks incident. After what could've been a career-altering accident, JPP remains one of the most feared sack-artists in football. After being named to the 2020 Pro Bowl, such continued succe s could lead also lead Pierre-Paul back to theSuper Bowl. What happened to Jason Pierre-Paul's hand?On July 4, 2015, Pierre-Paul gathered with his family and friends to celebrate Independence Day. Van Jefferson Jerseys He purchased $1,100 worth of fireworks to set off, and all but one batch went off without a hitch. The last set of fireworks didn't do anything the first seven times Pierre-Paul tried to launch them, .On the eighth attempt, there was a flash and a boom. Pierre-Paul didn't notice anything until someone yelled to look at his hand.Im looking at my right hand and Im seeing every ligament, . You only see this stuff in the movies.Pierre-Paul was immediately driven to the hospital as "blood spilled everywhere," per SI. He doesn't remember much from the hospital, but he doctors, "Whatever y' Tutu Atwell Jerseys all do, do not cut my hand off."The initial emergency surgery performed on Pierre-Paul required more than a dozen pins put into his hand, along with skin grafted from his forearm to his palm. A doctor told the mother of Pierre-Paul's infant son that his career was likely over.Pierre-Paul was transferred to a hospital in Miami where fears of it being a career-ending injury went away. But he had to remain in the hosptial for more than two weeks, undergoing 10 surgeries and losing 30 pounds in the proce s.As part of the procedures Jalen Ramsey Jerseys , Pierre-Paul had his right index finger amputated. That's the most noticeable difference to his right hand from his left one le s finger.I could dwell on it, like, Damn, I wish I had that finger, , but when I look in the mirror, Im happy. Thank the Lord -- it could have been worse.Jason Pierre-Paul's career post-fireworks incidentPierre-Paul didn't return to the field for the Giants until Week 9 of 2015, and he struggled in his first eight games back on the field, recording only one sack. But he bounced back the next two seasons, first with 7.0 sacks in 12 games in 2016 and then with 8. A'Shawn Robinson Jerseys 5 sacks in 2017. It was a decline from his 12.5 sacks in 2014, but it was more like the old Pierre-Paul back again.The Giants signed Pierre-Paul to a four-year extension in the 2017 offseason, but they traded him to the Buccaneers in 2018 for draft capital. He had his best season post-fireworks incident in 2018, at least in regards to sacks, recording 12.5. An offseason car accident limited Pierre-Paul to 10 games in 2019, but he played in all 16 games again in 2020.One staple of Pierre-Paul's game in recent years, even as he's aged and dealt with other injuries, has been not wanting to leave the field. He played at least 78 percent of snaps in every Tampa Bay game in 2020, usually approaching 90 percent of snaps played. Defensive linemen rarely stay on the field that much without being rotated, Johnny Mundt Jerseys but Pierre-Paul appreciates his time in the game, maybe more than most."Reality is, when is the time to rest when you're playing football? Especially when you're trying to win a game," ."Me personally, I'm not going to come out unle s I feel like I need to come out. I think me and my coach bump heads a little bit with that he's always trying to look out for me but I'd rather stay in because I know in the heat of the moment, anything can happen in just those couple of seconds."

On Monday night, Carl Na sib became the first active NFL player , but that raised a keyquestionamong some NFL fans.Shouldn't that title belong to Michael Sam?Michael Sam dont let Carl Na sib steal your shine you was here first Charles James II (@CJDeuce_) In many ways, Sam helped pave the way for Na sib. Sam's NFL career was short-lived, but his impact as a trailblazer for Kadarius Toney Jerseys the LGBTQ+ community can't be denied.Here's a look back at Sam's NFL journey and the interview that made him a household name.MORE: When did Michael Sam come out?Sam came out ahead ofthe 2014 NFL Draft after his senior season at Mi souri. Before the draft, Sam wanted to make his sexuality public, and thus, it was revealed in interviews he did with the New York Times and ESPN."I am an openly, proud gay man," Sam said, per ."I understand how big this is. It's a big deal. No one has done this before. And it's New York Giants T Shirts kind of a nervous proce s, but I know what I want to be ... I want to be a football player in the NFL."The interview was released on Feb. 9, 2014, but Sam had told his teammatesL'Damian Washington and Marvin Foster about his sexual orientation a year earlier.Was Michael Sam the NFL's first openly gay player?Michael Sam was the first openly gay player to be drafted into the NFL. He was selected in the seventh round of the 2014 NFL Draft and competed for a spot on the Rams' 53-man roster.Ultimately though, he didn't make the Rams' team and never played during the regular season. Hespent time on the Cowboys' practice squad in 2014 and in the CFL with the Montreal Alouettes in 2015. He retired from profe sional football midway through the 2015 CFL season and hasn't played football since.MORE:Why is Carl Na sib considered the NFL's first active gay player?The answer to this is a bit of a technicality. Carl Na sib is officially the firstACTIVE NFL player to come out asgay. Meaning that Na sib has played in the NFL and has been on a team's active roster.Though Sam was drafted by the Rams, he never was Leonard Williams Jerseys on their 53-man roster. Nor did he make it on the Cowboys' 53-man unit. As such, he was only a part of the 90-man offseason roster which doesn't count as the active roster.So, long story short, Sam was the first openly gay player to be drafted into the NFL. Na sib is the first active Kadarius Toney T Shirts NFL player who has been on a 53-man roster, has played during the regular season and is still playing to come out as gay.Michael Sam career timeline with Mi souri, Rams, Cowboys and AlouettesDec. 19, 2013Sam is named SEC Co-Defensive Player of the Year along with C.J. Mosley (Alabama).Jan. 3, 2014 Sam plays his final game at Mi souri and notches a sack and fumble returned for a TD in the Tigers' win over Oklahoma State. He finished his senior season with 10 sacks.Feb. 9, 2014 Sam officially announces that he is gay in interviews with the New York Times and ESPN.Feb. 19, 2014Sam participates in the 2014 NFL Scouting Combine; measures 6-2, 261 pounds, runs a4.91-second 40-yard dash.May 10, 2014The Rams select Sam with the 249th pick in the 2014 NFL Draft Azeez Ojulari Jerseys .

It would be the only game he played in the CFL.August 14, 2015Sam retires from profe sional football. :"The last 12 months have been very difficult for me, to the point where I became concerned with my mental health. Because of this I am goingto step away from the game at this time. I thank the Alouettes for this opportunity and hope to be back on the field soon. Thankyou all NFL New York Giants Jerseys for your understanding and support."

Aaron Rodgers will be back under center for the . Now the only question left is whether his Cordarrelle Patterson Jerseys favorite target will be joining him in Green Bay.Like his quarterback, Davante Rodgers had been holding out from returning to the Packers. On Sunday, the duo hinted a return for both of them could be in the works by posting the same picture of Michael Jordan and Feleipe Franks Jerseys Scottie Pippen from the ESPN documentary, . the restructured deal with Rodgers will give Green Bay more cap space and help Younghoe Koo Jerseys the team make a renewed attempt at extending Adams.MORE: Five reasons Rodgers isn't holding out for 2021 seasonThe 2021 season is Adams' last in his current four-year, $58 million deal with the Packers.Obviously, bringing Adams back would be Atlanta Falcons Hats a major boon for the Packers. A season ago, he hauled in 18 touchdown pa ses from Rodgers, tied for the third-most touchdown receptions in a single season. He also led the league in 98.1 receiving yards per game when he brought in 1,374 yards over 14 games. Since 2016, no quarterback-wide receiver tandem has connected for more touchdowns (53) than Rodgers to Adams. The receiver has also totaled the sixth- Atlanta Falcons Polos most receiving yards in that time span, with 5,639 yards.If Warrick Dunn Jerseys Rodgers is back, the chances of Green Bay at least having Adams return to the field for 2021 should be higher but there is still plenty of uncertainty if will re-sign with the Packers or continue his hold out.

For the first time in the Sean Payton era, the Saints will be operating their offense without future Hall of Fame quarterbackDrew Brees for multiple meaningful games. That means Payton faces his biggest on-field coaching challenge since the duo arrived together in New Orleans in 2006.The Saints don't needto try to dominate and can't be expected to do so over the next six games, which Brees is certain to mi s after to repair the ligament he tore in his right thumb early in Sunday's 27-9 lo s at the Rams.They just need to survive the stretch to keep their chances to advance to the playoffs alive and well when he returns healthy.Conventional wisdom says to Jerry Rice Jerseys trustin backup Teddy Bridgewater, once a semi-succe sful Vikings starter, behind a strong offensive line, and to leanon their two elite playmakers, running back Alvin Kamara and wide receiver Michael Thomas. That includeshoping Bridgewater can be much better when he's prepared to start vs. the .But instead, Payton should use this an opportunity to feature Taysom Hill, turning achange-of-pace wrinkle intothe staple of his makeshift offense.NFL POWER RANKINGS:Hill has beenused as the gadget/wildcat player of choice since early last season. In 2018, he touched the ball 40 times, turning that into 200yards and twotouchdowns. He was le s effective throwing the ball, going 3-of-7 for 64 yards with a 44-yard completion San Francisco 49Ers Pet Gear offset by an interception.In Week 1 against the Texans, he caught threeof fivetargets for 25 yards, including a 9-yard TD reception.If Hill were to get the fill-in QB call over Bridgewater, it would force the Saints to do non-traditional things with their playbook. But that's exactly what they shouldn't shy away from without Brees.John Harbaugh's ability to tailor the Ravens' offense to Lamar Jackson's strengths in apivot from a fading Joe Flacco in2018 was the reason a lost season suddenly became an AFC North-winning one. With a good offensive line, a well-designed power rushing attack and a solid defense, Baltimore rode complementary football into the playoffs.So in e sence, the Saints need to deploy Hill much like the rookie version of Jackson a whole lot of running from him and others. New Orleans is terrific up front and can run with varied speed, power and elusivene s with Kamara and Latavius Murray. Beyond Thomas and tight end Jared Cook, there's not much to Javon Kinlaw Jerseys trust in the receiving corps, especially with second-year players Tre'Quan Smith and Keith Kirkwoord hurting after Sunday.The Ravens made it work with Kenneth Dixon and Gus Edwards flanking Jackson in the backfield. Kamara and Murray are way better versions of those options. Thomas and Cook are better short-to intermediate options than any combination the Ravens had in '18.MORE:Hill isn't incapable of throwing the ball. He's looked good when given opportunities to let the ball fly in the preseason. He's also arguably faster than Kamara. He can facilitate Kamara out of zone read and option looks.Going run-heavy with calculated downfield pa sing comes with the added benefit of keeping the Saints' defense off the field. In two games, they haven't been as good against the run as expected and are getting ripped for big pa s plays. The Ravens led the NFL in time of po se sion last season, and have raised that time in 2019 to better support a depleted, le ser defense.Hill isn't the , but he can be just as effective as a runner. Sitting back and throwing downfieldto wideouts won' Nick Bosa Jerseys t work well with Bridgewater. So the Saints might as well play to theirstrengths without Brees.The Saints are fortunate to be 1-1 in the weak NFC South, where the 1-1 Falcons, 1-1 Buccaneers and 0-2 Panthers all have their share of i sues. Even if they had Brees, the next two games Week 3 outdoors at Seattle, Week 4 on Sunday night at home vs. red-hot Dallas would have been difficult to win.But then look at the four games after that: vs. Tampa Bay, at Jacksonville, at Chicago, vs. Arizona. None of those teams present offenses that can light upthe scoreboard, and the latter three teams present plenty of defensive challenges for the pa sing game, between theirtop edge pa s rushers and stingy cornerbacks.MORE:By a signing their fate to Bridgewater, the Saints won't be putting themselves in the best position to Richard Sherman Jerseys win games. Hill will help them do that even more so with therunning game and defense, something their non-Brees personnel should dictate to them.There's a real chancethe Saints can finish either 4-2 or 3-3 in their Brees-le s stretch coming out of the Buccaneers-Jaguars-Bears-Cardinals gauntletno matter what happens in the Seahawks and Cowboys games.At either 5-3 or 4-4, the Saints will be in busine s for taking back the division when Brees gets back.The break of the schedule gives the George Kittle Hoodies Sweatshirts Saints a perfectly timed Week 9 bye for this situation, before they need to play the Falcons and Panthers twice each and five of their six NFC South games. Their two toughest second-half games, against the 49ers and Colts, are back-to-back in the Superdomein Weeks 14 and 15.That's all nice to consider and gives New Orleans a lot of hope that there's nothing yet lost in what could be a Super Bowl season. But to bridge that gap without Brees, they need to run with Hill and pa s on Bridgewater.

The dust is starting to settle around the NFL after the 2022 draft, but the Patriots still have one glaring hole to fill. With Josh McDaniels' departure to Las Vegas for the Raiders' head coaching job, the Pats still don't have an Brian Orakpo Jerseys offensive play-caller.New England is still helmed by Bill Belichick, and the coaching staff around him is much the same as it was in years past. Former defensive coordinator Matt Patricia is now a senior football adviser, while former special teams coach Joe Judge is back as an offensive a sistant.MORE:Patricia and Judge both struck out on their own for head coaching gigs with the Lions and Giants, respectively. Neither tenure went well. Patricia went 13-29-1 in Detroit and was fired midway Rashad Weaver Jerseys into his third season; Judge was 10-23 in two years in New York before being let go after his second season.Belichick loves him some in-house play-callers. Patricia and Judge are reportedly favorites for the still-vacant position, Henry McKenna of USA Today's Patriots Wire reported Thursday while also citing Mike Rei s of ESPN.I've heard the same thing as on the Patriots' offensive play-calling. No decision yet from Bill Belichick. It may come down to a competition of sorts during training camp. The top candidates are Matt Patricia and Joe Judge. Henry Coffey McKenna (@McKennAnalysis) While that may sound alarming to Patriots fans at first blush, fret not. The Belichick regime is no stranger to flux. This isn't even the first time Belichick has lost McDaniels.How New England has ranked on offense during Belichick's tenure as head coach:YearCoordinatorPoints rankingYards ranking2000Charlie Weis25222001Charlie Weis6192002Charlie Weis10212003Charlie Weis12172004Charlie Weis472005N/A1072006Josh McDaniels7112007Josh McDaniels112008Josh McDaniels852009None632010None182011Bill O'Brien322012Josh McDaniels112013Josh McDaniels372014Josh McDaniels4112015Josh McDaniels362016Josh McDaniels342017Josh McDaniels212018Josh McDaniels452019Josh McDaniels7152020Josh McDaniels27272021Josh McDaniels615The most obvious common thread is, Ryan Tannehill T Shirts of course, Tom Brady. The offense fell off a cliff to No. 27 in 2020 after Brady left New England for Tampa Bay. The Patriots righted the ship somewhat under rookie QB Mac Jones in 2021, but he's still a work in progre s.The Belichick offense is somewhat rigid, but he has spoken in the recent past about how it's changing in the post-Brady era.We always try to do whats best for the team to win, he said in 2020, . Everything we've done for the last 20 years, and rightfully so, has been forTom Brady. . . Treylon Burks Jerseys . There were times when we had to plan differently, but when your starting quarterback has things that he's good at or things that you can take advantage of, then I think you try to take advantage of them."The sample size outside of McDaniels is too small. The team Austin Fort Jerseys did well without an offensive coordinator in 2009 and 2010, and then had the second-best offense in the league with Bill O'Brien calling plays in 2011. By the time McDaniels returned, the Patriots largely had their system in place. In fact, it was one he helped establish after a bumpy entry point from Charlie Weis.Whether Patricia, Judge or someone else is calling plays in 2022, the personnel will determine where the offense goes. If there's a "Patriot Way," then that's it. It's what makes the idea of teams continuing to poach New England a sistants so baffling. The players put the coaches in a position to be great, rather than the other way around. The coaches learn to coach around the talent they have.

Matt Rhule's rebuilding proce s with the Carolina Panthers was always going to be a long one. Last year, the team was better than expected on offense, but their defense wasn't very good at all.

With quarterbacks on the rise ahead of the ,it's going to be difficult to pa s up if one fall into their lap at No. 8 overall, lest they trade down and capitalize on another team's desire to take a quarterback.With Darnold on board, it's likely Carolinawill look tostrengthentheir once-strongdefense, a goal that they attempted to accomplish last year by spending all seven of their draft picks on defense.Here's a look at the Panthers' picks in the 2021 NFL Draft:MORE NFL DRAFT: | Panthers draft picks 2021: Who did Carolina take?Round 1, Pick No. 8: Jaycee Horn, CB, South CarolinaRound 2, Pick Kordell Stewart Jerseys No. 59: Terrace Marshall Jr., WR, LSURound 3, Pick No. 70: Brady Christensen, OT, BYURound 4, Pick No Pittsburgh Steelers Jackets . 83: Tommy Tremble, TE, Notre DameRound 5, Pick No. 126: Chuba Hubbard, RB, Oklahoma StateRound 5, Pick No. 158:Daviyon Nixon, DT, IowaRound 5, Pick No. 166: Keith Taylor, CB, WashingtonRound 6, Pick No. 193: Deonte Brown, G, AlabamaRound 6, Pick No. 204: Shi Smith, WR, South CarolinaRound 6, Pick No. 222: Thomas Fletcher, LS, AlabamaRound 7, Pick No. 232: Phil Hoskins, DT, KentuckyPanthers 2021 NFL Draft orderRoundPick182739485767 (from Broncos)69638 (Compensatory Selection)MORE: Panthers NFL Draft needsQuarterback:Sam Darnold has a second chance to make good on his potential and lead the Panthers to the playoffs, but Carolina may still want a more dynamic pa ser to groom. Justin JuJu Smith-Schuster Jerseys Fields and Trey Lance could fit the bill and they also may be interested in Mac Jones, who they coached at the Senior Bowl.Linebacker:In their heyday, the Panthers had Luke Kuechly and Thomas Davis patrolling the middle of their defense at the linebacker spots. Now, they have Shaq Thompson and free-agent addition Denzel Perryman. Those two are solid, but adding a do-it-all three-down linebacker that can at least partially replicate Kuechly's production would be a big win for the Panthers defense.Cornerback:The Panthers never properly replaced James Bradberry after losing him during the 2020 offseason.

The 49ers don't play until Sunday night against the Packers, so it could be a dicey injury to wait on for fantasy owners.Tevin Coleman hasn't been good of late, but you'll be starting him as an RB2 regardle s of Breida's status. If Breida plays, he' Jim Marshall Jerseys s a FLEX option, while his absence would make Raheem Mostert an equivalent FLEX option.MORE WEEK 12 DFS: | | Phillip Lindsay injury newsLindsay should be fine, but he popped up as because of a foot injury that hadn't been noted before on injury reports for him. It at least bears watching after Lindsay doubled Royce Freeman in carries, 16-8, in Week 11.Denver's best chance to move the ball against Buffalo on Sunday may be on the ground, and as long as Lindsay is active, there's no reason his increased workload wouldn't continue and have him in the RB2 conversation. Freeman is only playable if Lindsay were to surprisingly mi s out.Adrian Peterson, Chris Thompson Week 12 statusPeterson , and while Bill Callahan referred to it as rest, Peterson was listed on the injury report as having turf toe. Mason Cole Jerseys Pa s-catching back Chris Thompson returned to practice after an extended absence, as well.The Redskins face the Lions' league-worst rush defense against fantasy RBs Sunday, so whoever is healthy here has fantasy appeal. A Thompson return would put a slight damper on the Derrius Guice hype for this week, although a Peterson absence would only ramp the hype back up.
