With only around five "elite" tight ends in the league, and only another 10 that could be deemed "solid" fantasy starters, it'd be a waste of time to run through two separate conferences. Here at The Red Zone Report, we're all about delivering fast, accurate knowledge. We don't beat around the bush. Here's a quick look at every team's situation at the tight end spot, with some analysis on which "unheard-of" players could step up this year. AFC East Buffalo Bills - Derek Schouman, ...Read More

Tony Romo lost his most talented weapon (Terrell Owens) this off-season, and now only has Roy Williams as a reliable receiver target. However, the word in Dallas is that Owens being gone will lift any distractions from the team, and will have the offense performing more fluidly and in turn, will be more effective. Maybe, and maybe not. Read on to see who wins the quarterback position battles, who is falling, and who is on the rise, in a team-by-team glance: NFC East Eli Manning, ...Read More

It's inarguable. Peyton Manning and Tom Brady are, without question, the best two quarterbacks in the NFL. No ifs, ands, or buts about it. They are 1 and 1a. Which order? That's up to you. However, seeing all the hoopla surrounding Brady's return to Patriots' OTAs got me thinking. When will their reign end?

Earlier, we gave the first half of our NFL head coach rankings, giving our take on the 16 'worst' head coaches in the NFL. Several of those coaches in the bottom 16 could see themselves in the top 16 in a few years' time with a few successful seasons, and all the same, some of the coaches in our top 16 could land in the bottom 16 (or out of a job) Then, there are those coaches won't be ...Read More

Let's face it, the Detroit Lions already hit rock bottom. You don't go an entire 16-game season without winning a game, and not be at an all time low. Morale, chemistry, awareness. It was all gone before the last game. Sure, they showed a little heart before eventually falling to Green Bay, 31-21. But what's heart when you can't win? Needless to say, winning one game next season would be an accomplishment. Even the greatest lovers of debate can agree with that. So, why ...Read More

We've done our evaluations of how the AFC's teams did in the 2009 NFL Draft. Now it's time to turn our focus to the NFC, starting with the loaded NFC East. Dallas Cowboys Grade: C Best: Jason Williams, OLB, Western Illinois Williams gives the Cowboys the athletic linebacker they thought they were getting when they drafted Bobby Carpenter. Williams has sideline-to-sideline ability, with great speed and quickness. He's also extremely versatile, allowing Dallas to place him all over the field, including ...Read More

Last summer, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said he was open to having a rookie salary cap put in place so the NFL Draft doesn't churn out record-setting contracts every year. The day before last weekend's draft, he reaffirmed his stance on implementing a cap. "(The money) needs to go to the players who play well and are successful on the NFL level," Goodell said. To give you an idea why the argument for a cap exists, here are the rookie contracts for #1 ...Read More

It's actually not Friday anymore (not here, at least), but I'm getting this out a little later than I'd planned to since Friday was a busy day. Because there's not enough time for me to always go through every headline and interesting story I come across in short order, I thought it'd be a good idea to save up a few that I don't get to for a little end-of-week recap. So, without wasting much more of your ...Read More

I’m waiting until after at least next week to start any sort of NFL power rankings, simply because I wanted to see how everyone did in the first month or so of the season before really making any judgments one way or another as to who the best of the best is. I considered waiting until Tuesday to post this up, but considering neither the Jets or the Chargers are unbeaten after the first couple of weeks, they’re not ...Read More

We revealed moments 6-10 of our Top 10 yesterday, and because we don't want to make you wait too long, here's moments 5-1. 5) The infamous “4 MORE YEARS!” chant just got changed to “442!” Another year, another record that Brett Favre completes with tenacity, passion and a well trained medical staff while wearing a smile. Just when everyone thought he was ready to hang it up, he had one of the best years of his career in leading ...Read More
