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

The running back position has been covered. Now to the prima donnas, the popcorn, and the drama. Or should I say, the gun-hoarding, gold grill flashing, girlfriend abusing, fantasy all-stars? At this point, yes, I could say that. But it's June, it's warm out, and I'm feeling good about most of the top receivers in this league, even if they are in legal trouble and flirting with costing themselves 3-4 games in 2009. Regardless, if they made the list, they're probably worth taking ...Read More

Above: Another huge season for Thomas Jones? In continuation of my early fantasy overview, I pick up at the running back spot where I left off at the quarterback position; still excited about the fantasy season, but bewildered over all the possibilities that still remain. There are now more RBBC in NFL backfields than ever, and in Denver, we also have to worry about Peyton Hillis stealing touches from rookie, Knowshon Moreno. That's why there's a little thing called handcuffs, baby. Let it be ...Read More

It's June, which means all of those premature NFL power rankings and fantasy football rankings are no longer, well, quite as premature. While everyone (including myself) is discussing LeBron James and his handshake phobia, the Magic and the Lakers, or Bruno's fall into Eminem's lap, I've decided to take that free fall dive into the loving arms of fantasy football. And yes, the fantasy realm loves me back. However, let's pace ourselves. After all, it is in fact the first month of summer ...Read More

With the exception of a few moves left to be made (for wide receivers, for example), NFL teams have completed the bulk of their offseason moves. Which five teams should head into the summer feeling good about what they've done so far in the offseason? 1. Dallas Cowboys It may not seem like much, but promoting Roy Williams (receiver) and releasing Terrell Owens is going to be a big deal. Owens, as good as he was, has probably started to decline, ...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

It's a great debate heading into every season, but generally gets even more interesting after the first 4-6 weeks. Everyone wants to know - is this the year their team's coach gets canned? Well, if your favorite team is Cincinnati or Washington, it's entirely possible. Still, it's a strange marvel when coaches that the whole world expected to get fired, simply keep their jobs. See: Marvin Lewis. Different teams and different circumstances can always change the outlook the front office has ...Read More

Three down, one to go. We round out our 2009 NFL Draft grades of the AFC's teams with a look at the AFC West, where quite a few interesting moves were made on Saturday and Sunday. Denver Broncos Grade: B+ Best: Knowshon Moreno, RB, Georgia While the Broncos spent the off-season acquiring free agent running backs, none come even close to what Moreno can and should bring to them. He's shifty inside holes, has good speed, and is a tough, physical ...Read More

Go Back to Round 2 Round 3 65. Detroit Lions - Fili Moala, DT, USC Just one of the many USC prospects, Moala has been overlooked all the way into the third round. He is a massive man with good strength, and should give the Lions an inside presence they haven't had since Shaun Rogers. 66. St. Louis Rams - Chip Vaughn, S, Wake Forest They got their tackle and receiver, now addressing the defense is their top priority. Previous: Mohamed Massaquoi, WR, Georgia 67. ...Read More

How do the draft's top prospects grade out by position? Check out our 2009 NFL Draft prospect rankings. Of course, wait until after you're finished checking out Kevin's updated mock. Updated: 4/24/09 Round 1 1. Detroit Lions - Matthew Stafford, QB, Georgia When you calculate the value of the position, the quarterbacks Detroit has, and the money involved, Stafford is the only player that makes sense here. Aaron Curry or Jason Smith would be nice, sure, but the Lions cannot pass ...Read More
