MINNEAPOLIS — Warning: This column contains all kinds of biases, including personal, recency, positional and geographical. If I can find a few more along the way, I will toss them in like extra potatoes in a stew.

Following are my picks for the 10 most valuable players in the NFL at this moment — meaning anyone who is injured or playing for...Read more

CHICAGO — Don’t worry, Cole Kmet said, Trevor Siemian will not take it as an insult if you say he is unlikely to keep the ball on a zone read and motor 60 yards through the New York Jets defense Sunday at MetLife Stadium.

“Definitely more of a drop-back guy, get the ball out, timing,” Kmet said. “We’re not going to be running QB ...Read more

TAMPA, Fla. — Bucs running back Rachaad White will make his second NFL start Sunday at Cleveland. He’s earned it, but this time it’s also by default.

Leonard Fournette on Saturday was downgraded from doubtful to out with a hip injury and will not play against the Browns.

Fournette was injured late in the Bucs’ 21-16 win against the ...Read more

Devising the perfect Daily Fantasy Sports strategy for the NFL can be a challenge, which is why I'm here to assist.

On DraftKings, it's important to remember you're playing full-point PPR with bonuses if a player surpasses 300 passing yards, 100 rushing yards or 100 receiving yards.

Here is my optimal lineup for Sunday's $3 million Fantasy ...Read more

SAN DIEGO — In a friendlier world, NFL payments would soon reach San Diego zip codes — NFL money serving as a token of appreciation to select local schools.

Led by Kevin O'Connell, the poised graduate of La Costa Canyon High and San Diego State who stands 9-2 as a rookie head coach, San Diegans have lent sparkle to this NFL season.

The ...Read more

SEATTLE — I wrote last week that success can prompt regret, using the Washington Huskies football team as Exhibit A. Despite having an improbable nine wins thus far — including one on the road against then-No. 6 Oregon — the string of victories had some players lamenting previous losses, particularly the 10-point defeat to Arizona State ...Read more

BALTIMORE — The quality of play in the NFL has dropped off but, thankfully, it isn’t totally boring.

With marquee quarterbacks like Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers — and their respective teams, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Green Bay Packers — slumping, the league is having a slow makeover.

Even the genius of eventual Hall of Fame coach...Read more

If close counted, I would be at a poker table with Bezos, Buffett and Musk right now — raising. Had the Colts over Eagles in our Upset of the Week last week and Indy led the whole game before losing by one point. Had Falcons winning 27-23; they won 27-24. Had Chiefs winning 31-27; they won 30-27. Still, I’ll take the week: 10-4 straight-up, ...Read more

NEW YORK — Entering Sunday’s matchup, the Jets aren’t the only team that has some questions at the quarterback position.

Bears quarterback Justin Fields has been limited in practice this week after separating his non-throwing shoulder during last weekend’s 27-24 loss to the Falcons. Although Gang Green has been preparing for both Fields...Read more

The experience for Eagles offensive linemen in the aftermath of a quarterback sneak is a little different for everybody.

Lane Johnson said it feels like being on a submarine. For Jordan Mailata, it is stressful because of the details involved. Guard Landon Dickerson, often involuntarily squished beneath his gargantuan Australian linemate, might...Read more

The theme of the Dolphins’ defense this season has been evolution.

Evolution sparked by the absence of cornerback Byron Jones and season-ending injuries to safety Brandon Jones and cornerback Nik Needham. The evolution that could take place with the team’s acquisition of outside linebacker Bradley Chubb.

The defense will again seek to ...Read more

MINNEAPOLIS -- The Vikings won another weird and wild game, beating the New England Patriots 33-26 on Thursday night to improve to 9-2 in the team's first Thanksgiving home game.

Kirk Cousins hit Adam Thielen with a 15-yard touchdown pass to give the Vikings the lead with 9:34 left on a drive given new life by a running into the punter penalty ...Read more

The Miami Dolphins (7-3) host the Houston Texas, (1-8-1) at 1 p.m. Sunday at Hard Rock Stadium; here are five things to watch for in the game:

Tua and Dolphins’ offense

Let’s see if the Dolphins offense can continue finding different ways to win, a skill that will come in handy down the line. Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa has been among the ...Read more

TAMPA, Fla. — Rachaad White had exciting skills but not the experience he needed to play a complete NFL game when he joined the Bucs as a rookie this season, offensive coordinator Byron Leftwich said Thursday.

But the Bucs finally turned the former Arizona State running back loose against the Seahawks two weeks ago in Germany and he responded...Read more

It qualifies as more than a dry spell, goes well beyond a drought.

The Rams have not intercepted a pass or recovered a fumble in their last four games — all losses. They have forced one turnover in their last eight games.

Safety Nick Scott intercepted a tipped pass in a victory over the Carolina Panthers on Oct. 16.

Since then, zilch for ...Read more
