Send us a text The week the board flipped. With Tyreek Hill and Malik Nabers sidelined for the year and four teams on bye, we dig into how volume actually redistributes, not just where the jerseys are. We walk through Miami’s path without Tyreek—what this really means for Jaylen Waddle, why Devon Achane’s receiving role spikes, and how to spot red-zone value—and then pivot to the Giants, where W'andale Robinson, Darius Slayton, and Jalin Hyatt each offer different paths to relevance depending...

Meanwhile, esta...

Dak Prescott stands to benefit enormously from Dallas's defensive regression, forcing a pass-heavy approach that could yield 4,100+ yards. Meanwhile, Bo Nix ...
