Dobbins has gotten stronger with each game, but the artificial turf at MetLife Stadium is known for being harder on players’ bodies.

Around the NFL: Ameer Abdullah

The Raiders plan to release Kenyan Drake, and that has me thinking Ameer Abdullah could be a sneaky decent depth pick in PPR drafts. I’m thinking Abdullah will catch a decent number of passes as a third-down back.  more »

Around the NFL: Las Vegas Raiders

Football is back, like it was never away. Jacksonville didn't use any starters, but the Raiders did, which caused much discussion and debate over how the backfield might be utilized in the new, Josh McDaniels era. Most notably, we need to wonder how much we can trust in Josh Jacobs.   more »

Around the NFL: No. 2 running backs

I wonder if the Packers have any misgivings about the contract they just gave Aaron Jones. Great back and important to get him back, but the running back market hasn't really developed. Seems they could have potentially let him test the market and then brought him back at a lower price. Most of the free agent signings have been No. 2 types.   more »
