Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas Kurt Suzuki Jersey picked a fight with Dolphins pa s catcher DeVante Parker on social media Monday afternoon that led to a heatedexchange between NFL players.Thomas entered the fray after Parker responded to an “NFL on Fox” Instagram graphic askingwhether it would be tougher to make a catch when guarded by Patriots cornerback Stephon Gilmoreor break up a pa s when covering Thomas. Parker picked the first, clearly proud of hiseight-catch, 137-yard showing against Gilmore in December. Dansby Swanson Jersey He didn’t mention Thomas in his response.Thomas, though, came in hot, writing, “Go run some numbers up. Then you can talk I lapped you and you been in the league longer than me first rounder.”Parker countered by bringing up how often Thomas gets targeted by Drew Brees. Thomas said Parker should blame Scott Kazmir Jersey his parents for inferior genesrather than his QB. Parker said “quit crying bra.”The public bickering continued in that manner in the Instagram comment section next to the “NFL on Fox” post.MORE: From to , Thomas has never Tyler Flowers Jersey backed down from an online feud.Thomas, to his credit, has had far more NFL succe s than Parker or pretty much any other active receiver. He has more than 100 receptions in each of the past three seasons, including 149 in 2019.But it seems likely that Parker Freddie Freeman Jersey did not intend to start anything with his initial comment, only engaging once Thomas went on the offensive.…

It’s hard to turn on a television and not come acro s a commercial featuring either Patrick Mahomes or Baker Mayfield. That’ll certainly be the case during Sunday’s Chiefs vs. Browns game when the two quarterbacks face off. Between touchdown pa ses, expect more Mahomes and Mayfield advertisements.No matter who wins Sunday’s NFL playoff divisional round game, the QB showdown begs the question: Who has the better commercials?Maybe you’ve got a built-in bias for either Kansas City or Cleveland, or maybe you really like State Farm or Progre sive. But otherwise, it’s a serious question. Which player’ Eddie Jackson Jersey s commercial do you stick on the channel to watch, and does the other’s cause you to quickly channel surf?We present our totally objective look at Mahomes and Mayfield’s commercials.MORE:Patrick Mahomes commercialsMahomes is one of the top stars to feature in State Farm commercials, along with Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers and Suns point guard Chris Paul. That’s quite the lineup of future Hall of Famers.What Mahomes has in his favor is the natural state of cool he seems to present when on the screen, although maybe that just comes from the knowledge that he’s one of the best quarterbacks the world has Eddie Goldman Jersey ever seen. QBs always seem cool just ask any high school popular kid ever.Working against Mahomes is the formulaic nature to State Farm commercials. Before Mahomes came along, Paul and Rodgers were already starring in the advertisements that often feature something getting me sed up only for “Jake from State Farm” to show up and fix things.There’s nothing specific about Mahomes Mitchell Trubisky Jersey ‘ commercials that couldn’t be done with another top-tier athlete, besides maybe the recent haircut skit that was pretty funny, along with Mahomes’ heavy ketchup usage in the .For the most part, though, Mahomes could be swapped into Rodgers’ commercials with slight alterations (and vice versa) and they wouldn’t feel that different. That’s not really Mahomes’ fault. At least he’s got that fun superstar smile.MORE: Baker Mayfield commercialsMayfield’s largest commercial volume has come with Progre sive Insurance. He’s done two seasons worth, both in 2019 and 2020, and they could continue into 2021. Maybe they were annoying as the Browns and Mayfield disappointed in 2019, but the commercials have seemingly taken a step up in 2020.The premise for all of Mayfield’s commercials is that his “home” Dan Hampton Jersey is FirstEnergy Stadium, home field of the Cleveland Browns. That leads to funny moments like Mayfield wanting to cover up all the seats when it’s going to rain, Mayfield freaking out when maintenance people are coming because “company” is arriving, and Mayfield having i sues with the stadium metal detectors.Mayfield also is accompanied by his teammate and offensive lineman Jedrick Wills in a couple of commercials, displaying some good Cleveland camaraderie. And Mayfield’s wife, Emily Wilkinson Mayfield, makes appearances, as well.In Mayfield’s various commercials, it seems he’s very much himself. While it’s hard to know exactly what Mayfield is like NFL Chicago Bears Jersey in his actual home, it feels more like you’re seeing more of Mayfield the human and le s of Mayfield the quarterback in his commercials.Since the whole premise of the spots is that Mayfield is a recognizable face, it adds to the fun that instead of showing off Mayfield as a high-end quarterback, Progre sive simply paints him as a regular guy worried about regular housekeeping things, just in a large football stadium.…

Most fantasy football owners had given up on Cole Kmet this season; some are still waiting on Darnell Mooney; others have had their eye on Pat Freiermuth for a few weeks. Wherever you fall on these three players, it’s safe to say that after their big games on Monday night, they’ll all be among the top Week 10 fantasy waiver wire pickups and free agent adds, joining guys like Jordan Howard, Devonta Freeman, Brandon Bolden/Rhamondre Stevenson, and Elijah Moore. Freiermuth might actually command a waivers claim, while Kmet and Mooney will be among the many who will be targeted as free agents after waivers clear around 4-5 a.m. ET on Wednesday mornings in ESPN and Yahoo leagues.Our features even more intriguing free agents, such as WRs Tim Patrick, Donovan Peoples-Jones, and Rashod Bateman. We also have several players who are eligible to come off IR this week, Dmitry Orlov Jersey including Michael Gallup and Logan Thomas. Of course, we also feature a wide variety of Week 10 streaming suggestions at QB, WR, TE, and D/ST, which can be found at the end of this list. If you’re looking for a husband or a new fantasy kicker, our features a list of 28 dudes who are eligible for at least one of those things.MORE WEEK 10: | | Waivers likely won’t be overly competitive this week. Kody Clark Jersey Howard, Freeman, and potentially a Patriots backup will likely command medium-to-high claims, depending how badly owners in your league need a back this week. Moore, Freiermuth, and Thomas could also get claimed, but none should be considered “must-haves.”We’re at the point in the season where it’s all about what you need and when you need it. If you’re desperate at a certain position because of byes or injuries, then by all means make sure you get that player, especially if you’re fighting for a playoff spot.UPDATE: With Nick Chubb’s status up in the air because of a positive COVID test on Tuesday, D’Ernest Johnson could be a top waiver claim. However, it’s a risky move considering Chubb could play with two negative COVID tests 24 hours apart by Sunday.UPDATE 2:Reports out of New Orleans suggest Alvin Kamara is dealing with an undisclosed injury, giving significant value to Mark Ingram. Like Johnson, we don’t know the details, so using a waiver claim on Ingram is a risk, but he would have considerable upside in Week 10 if Kamara is out or limited.WEEK 10 PPR RANKINGS: | | | | | Top fantasy football waiver wire pickups for Week 10Unle s otherwise noted, only players owned Mike Gartner Jersey in fewer than 50 percent of Yahoo leagues considered. Pat Freiermuth, TE, Steelers.After back-to-back seven-target games, Freiermuth tied for the Steelers’ team lead with six targets on Monday night. He caught five for 43 yards and two scores, showing how high his ceiling is in a given way. He should continue to see six-plus looks going forward, and he’ll get them all over the field. There’s a good chance he’s a top-10 TE the rest of the way, especially with highly favorable matchups against the Lions and Chargers the next two weeks.Darnell Mooney, WR, Bears.Fantasy owners have been waiting for Mooney to break out, and he finally did on Monday night. He caught just three pa ses (six targets) for 41 yards, but he added a 15-yard run and scored twice. Cole Kmet (8) actually led the Bears in targets on Monday, but Mooney leads the team on the season (6.5/game). He should continue seeing regular looks, and if Justin Fields continues his perceived improvement, Mooney could really take off in the second half.MORE WEEK 10: | | Cole Kmet, TE, Bears.Kmet set season highs in targets (8), catches (6), and yards (87) in Week 9. He took advantage of some soft defense for two catches and about 20 yards on Chicago’s final drive, but it was still clear from the start that Kmet was more involved. He might Matt Niskanen Jersey not be worth picking up this week with Chicago on bye, but a top-tier TE matchup against Baltimore awaits in Week 11. Kmet could be a real TE sleeper the rest of the way.WEEK 10 STANDARD RANKINGS: | | | | | Michael Gallup, WR, Cowboys.We’ve expected Gallup to return for a couple weeks now, but his ailing calf hasn’t allowed it Braden Holtby Jersey yet. It’s that this will be the week, though, and with a highly favorable matchup against Atlanta on tap, Gallup will immediately be in the WR3 conversation. He’ll have boom-or-bust flex upside every week, and he also works as a de facto handcuff to Amari Cooper and CeeDee Lamb.WEEK 10 DFS LINEUPS: | | DeSean Jackson, WR, Raiders.Jackson is set to take the Henry Ruggs deep threat role in Vegas. That likely won’t translate to consistent value even if Jackson stays healthy, but he’ll definitely have his big weeks. That could be as early as Week 10 against Kansas City. He has great matchups in Weeks 12-14, too (Dallas, Washington, Kansas City), so Jackson could be a difference maker through the bye weeks.For additional waiver/free agent suggestions, including top pickups Devonta Freeman, Jordan Howard,Brandon Bolden, and more, streamers check out our full Week 10 list.…

The Packers are prepared to have a new-look receiving corps in 2022 after trading their No. 1 receiver Davante Adams to the Raiders during the offseason.Adams’ departure was expected to create a major competition in the receiving corps. The likes of Allen Lazard, Sammy Watkins, Randall Cobb and second-round rookie Christian Watson were expected to be the main competitors for the starting NFL Cleveland Browns Jersey jobs, but to begin camp, another dark horse starter candidate has emerged.That would be Romeo Doubs. The fourth-round rookie out of Nevada has performed well during training camp so far in increased opportunities, as Watkins and Watson have been sidelined at times with minor injuries. He appears to be winning the trust of Aaron Rodgers, who has been complimentary of the rookie’s skill set ahead of their first preseason contest.Its never been too big for him,” Rodgers said of Doubs, per . “I really like the approach.Hes a very humble kid, but youre starting to see the personality come out a little bit, which is fun to see. Hes had a lot of opportunities, which has been great. With Sammy not practicing a couple of days, and Christian being out, a lot of opportunities for him, and hes made the most of it.”Rodgers developing chemistry with Doubs could be good news for the rookie’s chances of Myles Garrett Jersey getting on the field in 2022. Here’s everything to know about him as he looks to earn a spot in the Packers’ starting lineup and emerge as a fantasy football sleeper.MORE: Who is Romeo Doubs?Doubs is a wide receiver who the Packers selected in the fourth round of the 2022 NFL Draft. He was the 132nd player chosen in the draft and the 19th receiver selected overall.Doubs was listed as a three-star recruit by 247Sports.com and played quarterback, running back and receiver in high school. He ultimately chose to attend Nevada, where he emerged as a freshman starter and played four years for the Wolfpack.Doubs developed well at Nevada and was named to the All-Mountain West team during his final two seasons with the team. He demonstrated great chemistry with Carson Strong and helped the big-armed quarterback put his name on the map.Now, Doubs will hope to make a similar impact with Rodgers.And if his college production is any indication, he should perform well even as a rookie.MORE: Romeo Doubs stats at NevadaDoubs burst onto the scene at Nevada with his first collegiate touch being an 80-yard punt return touchdown. He averaged 12.5 yards per punt return in college, but his more impre sive performance came at receiver.In each of Joe Thomas Jersey his last two seasons with the Wolfpack, Doubs logged over 1,000 yards. He increased his reception, yardage and touchdown totals in each of his four college seasons.Below is a year-by-year breakdown of Doubs’ stats at Nevada from 2018 through 2021:YearGamesCatchesYardsTDsYards per catch20181343562213.120191044649414.820209581,002917.3202111801,1091113.9MORE: Romeo Doubs highlightsBelow is a look at some of Doubs’ catches from the 2021 college football season. He shows off his solid speed, smooth hands, jump-ball ability and separation skills throughout the duration of the video.Romeo Doubs 40 timeDoubs didn’t perform the 40-yard dash at the 2022 NFL Combine, instead opting to wait for his pro day. He put up a respectable time, completing it in4.47 seconds. That would have tied for 16th among combine participants along with Steelers draft pick George Pickens, who is also having a strong start to his camp.As such, it doesn’t seem that Doubs has elite speed, but he still has more than enough to be a downfield threat at the NFL level.MORE: What Aaron Rodgers, Packers have said about Romeo DoubsRodgers has never been one to hide his feelings about receivers that he likes, and Doubs is no exception. The 38-year-old quarterback even implied Doubs could emerge as one of the top receivers in Packers history if he continues to perform well.Every single day, theres been at least one wow play from Doubs . And thats rare for a young guy like that. Weve had some guys over the years do that, but they are all in the top 10 of Packers receiving history. Good start for him.One of the things that has stood out the most about Doubs is that he has fared well against cornerback Eric Stokes in practice. Stokes, a first-round pick in 2021, was stellar as a rookie, yet as pointed out, Doubs roasted him in a one-on-one rep at practice.Rodgers also took notice of Doubs’ rep and brought it up while praising him.”Its not just the team stuff. I thought he ran good routes yesterday in the one-on-ones against Stokes,” Rodgers said. “Its just a matter of the mental stuff. He Britton Colquitt Jersey s still making some mental mistakes, but you expect those. Its the approach, his release patterns, he catches the ball with his hands.”Rodgers wasn’t the only Packers quarterback impre sed by Doubs’ hands. Jordan Love noted that Doubs’ contested catch ability was part of the reason for his early succe s. It’s also part of why Love and Rodgers have enjoyed throwing to him.Just the way hes catching the ball. Hes making those contested catches, and those tough plays, hes making them look easy,” Love said, per . “And its not easy to do.”Long-time NFL receiver Randall Cobb agreed with that a se sment, calling Doubs’ ability to grab 50-50 balls something “you can’t coach.”When its thrown up and its between him and the DB to make a play. Thats one thing you cant coach. You cant really teach that. You either have it or you dont, and he has it. Thats special.Certainly, Doubs appears to be impre sing all of the right people at this early stage of Packers training camp. It’s too early to say that he will definitely be a starter, but if he parlays a strong training camp into a strong preseason, he should cement himself as one of Ricardo Louis Jersey Rodgers’ favorite targets.…
