It's media player-rankingseason around the NFL and not everyone's happy. Nothing gets players, pundits and fans more riled up than listing someone ahead of someone else for their on-field work, because they're wrong and we're right.Sporting News has Brett Jones Jersey gotten in on the position-by-position fun, already releasing our , , and rankings going into the 2020 season. So with theNFL's annual Top 100 Playersbeing rolled out again this week, it's only natural for us to compare,contrastand question.MORE: Given the league's list based on players voting for their peers, there always are glaring differences from armchair analysts and scouting services. With No. 100 through No. 71 revealed and No. 70 through No. 1 yet to come, here are the biggest early reactions to the rankings, starting with one pi sed-off wide receiver:Keenan Allen isn't so keen on No. 77Wide receivers are an outspoken sort and every good one thinks he's indeed the best one. They are very hard to rank vs. each other, let alone vs. a pool of players acro s other positions.The Chargers' Keenan Allen was not happy to be the fourth of many receivers to be revealed, ahead of only the Bears' Allen Robinson (No. 93), the Rams' Cooper Kupp (No. 89) and the Seahawks' DK Metcalf (No. 81). Although Allen isn't the biggest field-stretcher or scorer, he expected his three-year averageof 101 catches,1,263 yards and 6 TDs to put him with wideouts perceived to be better.Ok Im tired of biten my tongue... ... ( and the list goes on) ARE NOT a better receiver than me! Faster than me...every day of the week but separation..CHILD PLEASE! Keenan Allen (@Keenan13Allen) It was interesting thatAllen singled out the Buccaneers' duo of Mike Evans and Chris Godwin (not Goodwin) and Chiefs' speedsterTyreek Hill among the receivers he feels to be inferior.Evans gets more attention for his big plays and averaging more than 17 yards per catch the past two seasons. Hill represents the premier home run-hitting receiver in Allen's own division, the AFC West, in which Allen recently declared he was Andrew Beck Jersey the best.Godwin, however, is a comparable technician to Allen with his routes and hands. He mi sed two games last season in his breakout,but still posted 86 catches for 1,333 yards and nineTDs. Allen is right that he needs more credit, despite the lack of long-ball succe s and scoring. But big plays and TDs are a big part of the game. That's why he's a solid No. 15 among wideouts in Sporting News' list, with Godwin No. 3, Hill No. 6 and Evans No. 7. Allen can counter to say he's more like SN's and likelythe NFL's No. 1, the Saints' Michael Thomas, than all of them.Allen does have plenty of substance, but there's a lot more than style that goes with the games of Evans, Godwin and Hill to make them worthy of being ranked above him.MORE: Allen Robinson really was the di sed Allen wide receiverKeenan Allen was ranked 16 spots ahead of Allen Robinson. In SN's wide receiver list, Robinson was No. 12, three spots ahead of Allen.Robinson is coming off a remarkable season with the Bears, where he got little complementary help outside of Anthony Miller and produced despite major regre sion from Mitchell Trubisky. Robinsonwas better all-round as an outside receiver facing top coverage every week vs. Kupp, who dominated in the slot for the Rams, and Metcalf, who thrived as the No. 2 opposite Tyler Lockett for Ru sell Wilson.Back in 2015, Robinson looked ready Javonte Williams Jersey to become the NFL's best wideout, posting an 80-catch, 1,400-yard, 14-TD season for the Jaguars. He did that despite catching pa ses fromBlake Bortles, making the QB look a lot better than he really was.Between a torn ACL and free agency, it's been a long road back for Robinson to get to that level. His age 26 season in 2019 was right there: 98 catches, 1,147 yards and Dennis Smith Jersey seven TDs. Robinson's numbers were very comparable to Allen's, so if anyAllen has a beef, Robinson has a bigger one.All in all, with Robinson and Allen ranked so "low,"it once again shows that the NFL has never been deeper and more talented at wide receiver,the game's glo siest and most debated position.Josh Allen, really, at No. 87, over Carson Wentz?The more concerning Allen of them all on the "NFL Top 100"is the Bills' third-year quarterback. Had it been the Jaguars' edge pa s rusher of the same name,one would have been OK with that.But we're not sure how Josh Allen the quarterbackis ranked above Carson Wentz. , five Eagles madethe list (Zach Ertz, Jason Kelce, Brandon Brooks, Fletcher Cox, Darius Slay),but all five have already been revealedand none of them is Wentz.When Allen was at Wyoming, the big-armed athletic pa ser drew comparisons to Wentz. But Wentz, an MVP candidate during the Eagles' Super Bowl 52 run, played a full season ata much higher overall level in 2019.Allen is getting too much attention for his prolific running (510 yards, nine TDs) than criticism for his erratic, inaccurate pa sing.The Cardinals' Kyler Murray was the first QB revealed on the list at No. 90, three spots lower. That was a bit of a stretch, too. Murray was the Offensive Peyton Manning T Shirts Rookie of the Year.With similar pa sing and rushingnumbers from 2019 and with some upside to improve with respective new wide receivers Stefon Diggs and DeAndre Hopkins, it makes sense that Allen and Murray are close together in rankings.In Sporting News' forward-looking QB rankings for 2020, Allen (No. 18) was just ahead of Murray (No. 19). But there's no way, with only 70 spots left, that all 17QBs better than both at the moment, make the list, too. That includes Wentz, whom SN ranked No. 9 at quarterback.One would hope that Patrick Mahomes, Lamar Jackson, Ru sell Wilson,Aaron Rodgers, Drew Brees, Deshaun Watson and Dak Prescott are all locks to make it from quarterback on the NFL Top100. Tom Brady also probably gets there because of his GOATne s, despite a shaky final Patriots season. But Allen isn't yet deserving to crack the list, even well behind all of them.Allen Robinson certainly shouldn't be behind Josh Allen, and Keenan Allen should be a lot more upset thathe's only 10 spots ahead, too.

There are few things worse in fantasy football than spending a high draft pick on a player and NFL Los Angeles Chargers Jersey getting just eight games out of him. Even mi sing a top player for three or four weeks can crush your season and turn even the "safest" draft picks into "busts." Undoubtedly, you have a few of these notoriously injury-prone players on your "Do Not Draft" list, but regardle s of who's cro sed out in red on your rankings and cheat sheet, we all must acknowledge that injuries can strike even the most durable players at any time.That truth is maybe the worst aspect of fantasy football. Even a picture of health with a low probability of injury is always one play away from being in the trainer's room. Is there anything fantasy owners can do to limit the damage? Aside from drafting (hopefully) capable backups, we can use the premium to identify the players most likely to get hurt. Many of the highest-risk players are easy calls (Dalvin Cook, Allen Robinson, GeorgeKittle), but there might be others high on the list who surprise you. MORE DRAFT SHARKS: Trying to avoid all "injury-prone" players is a fool's errand, but knowing the statistical risks will help you be prepare for the worst and avoid drafting too manyquestion marks. Like everything in fantasy football, it's all about risk and reward, cost and benefit. It's important to remember injuries may have a more profound effect than ever this year with the NFL schedule changing to a 17-game slate for each team. uses historical health information and four key figures to demonstrate injury risk: Probability of injury during the season, projected mi sed games, probability of injury per game, and durability rating (ability to produce despite relatively minor injuries, with five being the most durable). All Tristan Vizcaino Jersey of these numbers provide unique, advanced insight into a player's 2021 outlook, and they can only be found on . Fortunately, Draft Sharks is generously offering SN Fantasy readers a sneak peak at their 2021 Injury Predictor tool, as well as . Take advantage while you can and know every player's injury risks so you can have the "healthiest" draft po sible.Below, we'll highlight the five most notable players with considerable injury risk at each position.DOMINATE YOUR DRAFT: Draft Sharks Injury Predictor: Identifying potential busts in 2021 fantasy drafts Note: The players below are ranked in order of their overall injury risk this season (with "injury risk" being defined as likelihood of suffering an injury that causes a player to mi s at least two quarters).Quarterback 1.Cam Newton, Patriots (92 percent): Newton has struggled with the injury bug later in his career, and he comes in as the No. 1 QB in probability of injury per game (13.8 percent). projects Newton to mi s 3.4 games this season. On top of his injury concerns, he's locked , making Uchenna Nwosu Jersey him a risky starter in two-QB/superflex leagues. However, he does get a score of five in durability rating, so minor injuries won't make him unplayable while he's in the Pats lineup. (Update: Newton was cut by the Patriots, so if he winds up on another team, all the injury worries still apply, but chances are, he'll simply be a backup and not a fantasy consideration for at least most of the season.)2. Carson Wentz, Colts (87 percent):Wentz is another QB whose name has become synonymous with injury. After all, he already had to undergo foot surgery in the offseason. He's projected to mi s 2.5 gameswith an 11.3-percent chance of injury per game, which actually feels low.3. Tua Tagovailoa, Dolphins (85 percent):While Tua is only heading into his second season as a pro, credits him with seven career injuries between college and the NFL.A young QB with so many injuries is obviously a cause for concern. He's projected to mi s 2.4 games this year and is listed as having a 10.6-percent chance of injury per game. If he'sbanged up, his durability rating (2) suggests it will affect him greatly.4. Ben Roethlisberger, Steelers (80 percent):Roethlisberger is the founder and CEO of the Banged-up QB Club. He's only once mi sed more than four games in a season (2019), but he's seeminglydue for a two-to-four-game absence each year. He's the active QB leader in career injuries (19) and has a nine-percent risk of injury each game. He has shown the ability to play effectively through bumps and bruises, giving him a durability rating of five.5. Daniel Jones, Giants (79 percent):Jones mi sed two games last year and presents risk coming into 2021 behind a shaky offensive line. He's projected to mi s 2.2 games and has an injury risk/game of 8.8 percent.Other Notable QB:Joe Burrow, Bengals (76 percent)MORE DRAFT SHARKS: Running Back1. Dalvin Cook, Vikings(95 percent):Cook was notorious for his injury problems early in his career (17 mi sed games in 2017 and '18). In the past two seasons, he'smi sed just four total games and has been more reliable for fantasy football owners. How long can that continue before his troubling injury history rears its ugly head again? Cook is given a 16.2-percent chance of injury/game and is projected to mi s three contests this year. Would anyone be surprised if he mi sed more? Additionally, his two outof five durability rating isn't promising. Realistically, it's tough to fade him at the top of Joey Bosa T Shirts the draft, especially if he falls to you any later than pick four, but Trey Marshall Jersey thereare obvious risks here2.Clyde Edwards-Helaire, Chiefs (95 percent):Edwards-Helaire mi sed three games at the end of last seasonand the divisional round game because of a hip injury. Early-careerinjuries to running backs are concerning, and CEH is projected to mi s 3.2 games with a 16.2-percent injury risk/game this year. He's likely not a player you can avoid fading entirely due to his extreme upside, but there's no need to reach for him.3.Chase Edmonds, Cardinals(95 percent):Edmonds has mi sed just three games during his three-year career, but he's stepping into a more significant workload in 2021. With his small stature and thin frame, he presents one of the highestinjury risks among RBs with three projected mi sed games. However, his durability rating (5) suggests he'll still be a value unle s a major injury happens.4. Miles Sanders, Eagles (95 percent):Sanders is the last of the backs with a 95-percent chance of injury. Last year, he mi sed four games due to a hamstring injury and comes in this year with considerable injury risk. That said, he also has a durability rating of five.5. Austin Ekeler, Chargers (94 percent):Ekeler is poised for a huge year if he can put last year's injury-plagued campaign behind him. The only thing keeping just below the 95-percent inju

It's another injury-packed week, as fantasy starters Ezekiel Elliott, Antonio Taylor Heinicke Jersey Gibson, T.J. Hockenson, Amari Cooper, Dalvin Cook, Joe Mixon, Melvin Gordon, D'Andre Swift, and Chase Edmonds are all "questionable" and Christian McCaffrey is "doubtful." There's also an early-morning London game between the Falcons and Jets, and there's for Bills-Chiefs.

Urban Meyer is up to his old ways.The Jaguars head coach doesn't seem to be easing his way into NFL offseason schedulesas Nik Needham Jersey the league fined the team $200,000 on Thursday for organized team activities violations.Meyer earned himself a $100,000 fine, per ESPN's Adam Schefter.49ers were fined $100,000 and Kyle Shanahan $50,000.Jaguars were fined $200,000 and Urban Meyer $100,000.Cowboys were fined $100,000 and Liam Eichenberg Jersey Mike McCarthy $50,000.Per sources.

Ohio State suspended Meyer for the first three games of the 2018 season for his role in the cover-up.BENDER: Earlier this offseason, he caught heat after hiring former Iowa strength and conditioning coach Chris Doyle, who had been accused of using racial epithets during his time with the Hawkeyes.Doyle, who was hired as Malcolm Brown Jersey Jacksonville's director of sports performance, resigned a day after being named to the position in February.Training camp hasn't even started yet, Urban.

Penei Sewell Jersey There are always injury surprises on Thursday that make fantasy football owners apprehensive about the future. This week, Julian Edelman (knee) has been declared out for an unknown amount of time while A.J. Brown once again mi sed a Thursday practice for the Titans. The injuries to these pa s catchers will be key in the start 'em, sit 'em decisions and could have a big impact on our Week 8 WR rankings as well.For news on Chris Carson, Miles Sanders, and Tevin Coleman,; for the latest on banged-up pa s-catchers Michael Thomas,Allen Robinson,Dallas Goedert,and more, click Detroit Lions Women Jersey here. For more on RBsAaron Jones,Mark Ingram, and Joe Mixon, go here.For more fantasy injury updates and news, follow uson Twitter .WEEK 8 STANDARD RANKINGS:| | | | | Is A.J. Brown playing Week 8?For the second consecutive week, A.J. Brown was a surprise absence at Thursday's practice for the Titans. noted that Brown, along with several other Titans, wasn't on the field for Tenne see.Considering that this happened last week and Brown played and played well, fantasy owners shouldn't betooworried about what's going on. That said, Brown will need to be watched closely in case he has had a setback in Jessie Lemonier Jersey the balky knee that has troubled him since the first game of the NFL season.If Brown is still out on Friday, that will be bad news for his chances of playing against the Bengals. If Brown can't suit up, then Corey Davis, Adam Humphries, and TE Jonnu Smith will handle most of the work over the middle of the field against Cincinnati. Davis would be a WR2, Humphries a WR3 in PPR, and Smith would be a potential top-five play at TE.WEEK 8 FANTASY: | | Julian Edelman injury updateOn Thursday, confirmed that Julian Edelman had a "precautionary standard knee procedure" and that the Patriots receiver would mi s "some time" with the injury. The timetable for Edelman'spotential return is unknown, but he is expected to be out in Week 8 at the least and should return before the end of the Quintez Cephus Jersey season.Edelman isn't the only Patriots WR banged up. N'Keal Harry is dealing with a concu sion and may be out Week 8 against the Bills. If that's the case, then the Patriots will only have Damiere Byrd, Gunner Olszewski, Jakobi Meyers, and Matthew Slater healthy among the six wide-outs on their roster (along with potentially Isaiah Zuber from the practice squad). Byrd could maybe be a speculative flex play, but it's probably best to stay away from Patriots WRs as long as Edelman and Harry are out, though Harry could be a nice pickup now as a pre-Week 9 waiver wire stash.The Patriots' lack of receiving weapons will also negatively impact Cam Newton, who has struggled in recent weeks anyway. Newton posted negative fantasy points last Jared Goff Jersey week, and while he can still make plays with his legs, he's nothing more than a middling streaming option because of the offense he is currently playing in.
