- Josh Allen is the NFL's top running quarterback—240 rushing yards and a league-high eight rushing TDs so far, on pace for roughly 680 yards and 22 TDs over 17 games.
- New Bills coach Joe Brady has leaned into Allen's rushing ability, sparking production but also raising injury concerns despite Allen getting better at protecting himself.
- Allen’s MVP/Super Bowl case depends on balancing highlight runs with ball security—he already has five turnovers through six games.
The news, distilled into what matters.
- Jaguars rookie Travis Hunter is flashing as a true two-way weapon — making splash plays at both cornerback (including a goal-line INT) and receiver after the team cleverly eases him back into a dual role.
- The Packers’ defense has transformed into a turnover machine under Jonathan Gannon, using exotic looks and heavy blitzing to lead the NFL in interceptions and dismantle the Cowboys.
- Giants WR Malik Nabers is back from a torn ACL and rolling — three straight 100-yard games, explosive playmaking, and firmly re-established as New York’s top perimeter threat.
- Sam LaPorta publicly called Detroit’s contract talks “disappointing,” saying he feels underappreciated and won’t hesitate to leave if the Lions don’t match his value.
- He reminded fans he played through a serious injury last year—a fully herniated disc that required microdiscectomy surgery—then returned and has been playing at a high level.
- LaPorta is a rising star (213 receptions, 2,420 yards, 23 TDs since 2023) and is focused on the season now, but says he’ll pursue a bigger payday in free agency if necessary.
- Giants will start J.J. McCarthy vs. the Texans after benching Jameis Winston, tapping the young QB with Harbaugh/Michigan ties.
- Ravens’ Lamar Jackson did limited practice as he works back from a sprained ankle—his return is still considered day‑to‑day.
- Packers’ Josh Jacobs is back at practice and expected to play after being cleared in a misdemeanor case; he apologized and coach Matt LaFleur voiced support.
- Nick Wright argues there are "no elite teams" this season but puts the 49ers atop his tiers with the Chiefs right behind them.
- He’s wary of the 49ers’ staying power, citing 2019 and 2023 clubs that started hot and still flamed out in the Super Bowl.
- Wright calls the Bills and Vikings "partial juggernauts" — dominant on one side (offense or defense) — and wonders if that imbalance can carry them deep into the playoffs.
- Raiders QB Kirk Cousins — a veteran starter who could fetch draft capital if Las Vegas hands the reins to rookie Fernando Mendoza.
- Chargers EDGE Khalil Mack — a proven pass rusher on an expiring deal who could instantly boost a contender’s front seven.
- Eagles G Landon Dickerson — an elite-sized lineman (currently on IR) with years left on his contract, making him high-value trade bait if healthy.
