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

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

There's more lists filtering through this site than pop-up ads. It's getting to that "awesomely ridiculous" stage. And I'm not complaining. God, no. I love it. What's better than the actual NFL season? The answer is nothing, but a close second is the constant coverage it gets, despite being almost four months away. We have the Brett Favre saga, fantasy football hype, trades, roster changes, and best of all, rankings that in no way matter right now. Such is the life of an NFL ...Read More

Michael Vick was one of the NFL's most popular players before he went to jail for dog fighting charges in 2007. It's hard to believe how fall he's fallen. Can you believe there was once a time when kids from all over the nation, who cheered for teams other than the Atlanta Falcons, were wearing Vick's number seven jersey? He is expected to be released from prison as early as today or tomorrow, Wednesday, May 20. There is no doubt what ...Read More

Every year experts discuss their reasoning for their Super Bowl favorite, or they are forced into providing an excuse for a certain team not making the playoffs. Far too often are quarterbacks placed under the microscope, injury-riddled offensive lines torn apart, or prima donna wide receivers bashed in online blogs. When do the coaches go under fire? While it'd be foolish to think they never are under scrutiny, assuming they're held responsible even half the time would be, well, incorrect. Example: What is the reason ...Read More

Before NFL teams gear up for the summer and head into pre-season battles, let's take a look at the fresh faces around the league, and gauge what we can expect from them. Will we have the pleasure of seeing another group like Mike Smith and Matt Ryan, or John Harbuagh and Joe Flacco? Those pairs of rookie coaches and quarterbacks made a splash in their first season by reaching the playoffs, so can we expect the same from the Lions ...Read More

If he does play again, will it be in a dome or on grass? Will he be throwing passes under the sun, or against gusts of wind and snow? Will he be in a different shade of green, or jump boldly into purple? There are plenty of questions surrounding the recent news of Brett Favre's release from the New York Jets. And they don't stop at what team he could play for. While his dedication, motivation for a possible return, and health issues are ...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
