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

One of the most difficult things to guess is a team's starting receiving line-up, especially this early in the season. Rookies can gain huge strides due to injuries or poor performances from veterans, while lackluster efforts from the corps can cause the front office to panic and sign someone off the street, or even try to pull a trade. There are a lot of questions regarding Plaxico Burress, Matt Jones, Marvin Harrison, and now even Brandon Marshall. With the AFC out of ...Read More

I broke the news about Brandon Marshall's trade demands shortly after rotoworld.com did, and before ESPN was able to. But now we're dealing with an entirely different type of monster. While owner Pat Bowlen lead the rest of us to believe that Denver would try to resolve this matter, it appears the front office has already given up and will attempt to trade their star receiver. Marshall wants a fat paycheck after turning in two seasons with 100+ catches, and Denver wants ...Read More

After taking on the task of assessing 2009's quarterbacks situations (AFC/NFC), I began my quest to finish the rest of the offensive positions with the AFC running backs, and continue here with a look to the NFC. As far as fantasy relevance goes, Adrian Peterson and Michael Turner easily top the list, but there's more than meets the eye. Both backs are likely to lose some carries with both offenses possibly depending more on the pass-Brett Favre looks to sign with Minnesota, ...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

Several NFL teams have had a successful offseason up to this point, but not every team should be feeling proud of themselves for the moves that they made or didn't make in the last couple of months. Which five teams should be second-guessing themselves right about now? 1. Green Bay Packers Like usual, the Packers went into hibernation during free agency. Emerging from their sloth-like slumber to nab one meaningful player, Anthony Smith, hardly counted as "waking the bear". Their draft ...Read More

By now, most NFL teams have taken care of their offseason needs, may it be through free agent signings or through last month’s draft. But, if you’re still one of several teams who could use another wide receiver, there are some notable names still on the market. There’s good reason why a few of these guys mentioned below are going to find homes later than others, but all of them should find a new team at some point ...Read More

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

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

As depressing and demoralizing as an NFL bust can be for an NFL team, a fan, or even the player that receives the label, there is always a softer side to the NFL Draft. We've seen guys like Green Bay receiver Donald Driver and New England's Tom Brady emerge from the sixth round of the draft to formulate incredible careers. After scouring over the college player pool and making their picks, each team undoubtedly feels they've found a gem or ...Read More
