The new season is almost upon us and Josh Capps from the Patriots Podcast on the First and Ten Network is here to look at what lies ahead in New England.
It didn’t take long for most of us to write off New England once Tom Brady secured a move to Tampa, but as the weeks have passed, confidence only appears to be growing in Foxboro.
The negotiations over a new collective bargaining agreement are ongoing, but the biggest change that looks set to happen is the addition of a 17th regular season game, while trimming the preseason to just three.
Dallas Cowboys 4/5 (Bet365)
Projection – 1st
2019 saw a talent laden Dallas roster miss out on the playoffs, a criminal underachievement which led to a change at the helm with Super Bowl winner Mike McCarthy taking over from Jason Garrett; McCarthy must be feeling pretty good about what he has inherited.

AFC East
Buffalo Bills – 5/4 (Bet365)
Projection – 1st
2019 saw the Bills form a run to the playoffs built around a solid defense, Buffalo’s 16.2 points per game conceded in the regular season ranked 2nd in the NFL and they should continue to excel in this department. Offensively there is one big question hanging over Sean McDermott’s men, is Josh Allen the man to take them forward under centre? Allen has potential to be a genuine dual-threat Quarterback but failed to build on his 2018 rookie season and all eyes will be on the former first-round draft pick. Buffalo acquired Stefon Diggs in the off-season to add a quality weapon to an already above average receiving corps in Cole Beasley and John Brown. Running Back Devin Singletary impressed in his rookie campaign and is expected to build on that in the coming season. 2020 could finally be the year for Buffalo to break New England’s stranglehold on the division and the 5/4 looks fair enough.
Alex Michael (@DynastyGuruNFL) is back with his series looking at some of the best rookie sleepers at each position that can help you dominate your fantasy leagues for years to come.
To continue on from the previous article outlining some of the potential running backs you may find available later in your dynasty drafts or as sleepers for your redraft leagues, here is the segment concentrating on Wide Receivers. In your second-round dynasty draft (or mid-round redraft leagues), you can anticipate the likes of Brandon Aiyuk, Levishka Shenault Jr. and Tee Higgins leaving the board in dynasty drafts and at the later stages of your redraft leagues. Thankfully, because of the depth in the 2020WRclassthere are several potential sleepers are very likely to be available in the deeper rounds purely which will hopefully give you some value and contribute to your seasons.
This series of articles is looking away from the big names that everyone is talking about inthe run up to your draft and will hopefully give you some food for thought going into Round three and onward of any Dynasty drafts, or maybe as a sleeper in any deep (really deep in some cases) redraft leagues.
It is the time of the year to find out when we are going to see our team play. We are currently living in some unprecedented times and quite expectedly we are having to change the way we do things. Almost all sport has been a victim of these changes, well, apart from one of course. The NFL has been pretty much the exception to the rule so far, carrying on with its off season relatively normally. It is the intention for football to go ahead as planned. As this is the case, it is time to look at what the season has in store. In this case, let us look at the Indianapolis Colts 2020 schedule.
After a solid performance with Free Agency, the Colts turned their attention to the Draft. With nine picks, there was plenty to work with to improve the team even further. A vital element this year was to address the depth at skill positions and address this problem they did. The first four picks consisted of a Wide Receiver, Running Back, Quarterback and a Safety. A great show of intent by the Colts to prove they are looking to improve now and safeguard their future.
