Tampa Bay squeezed out a 17-14 win at Acrisure Stadium behind a sharp showing from Bridgewater and a splash of early offense from TB’s youngsters. Bridgewater completed 6 of 11 passes for 85 yards with two touchdowns and two big-time throws, posting a sparkling 93.2 PFF passing grade on first look. Bucky Irving caught a 15-yard TD on one of his two targets, Emeka Egbuka added a five-yard score, and Jalen McMillan secured an 18-yard grab before leaving with a concussion protocol evaluation. TB’s attack was capped by a late 42-yard field goal from Chase McLaughlin after a Logan Woodside interception was returned by Antonio Grier, sealing the comeback. Pittsburgh’s defense bent at times but the Steelers’ backs piled up after contact, 90 of their 132 rushing yards coming after contact, while the line struggled in the run game. PFF’s grading and snap counts are coming, but the data already shout depth for TB at receiver and backfield, plus a potential QB2 spotlight in Bridgewater if this form sticks.

Aaron Jones has become a perplexing figure in fantasy football, especially as he gears up for his age-30 season with the Minnesota Vikings. After a career-best 2024, where he tallied 1,138 rushing yards and seven touchdowns, his future appears uncertain. Despite last year's success, the Vikings are bringing in Jordan Mason from the 49ers, highlighting a desire to reduce Jones' workload. The stats indicate Mason's impressive performance, surpassing Jones in several key metrics. With Minnesota's intent to lighten Jones' touch count, fantasy owners are faced with a tough decision: hold on to a potentially declining asset or trade him while he still holds value.

Revisiting the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' 2021 NFL Draft class reveals significant missteps, most notably the first-round selection of Joe Tryon-Shoyinka, who has not met expectations. The Bucs' draft strategy emphasized special teams and prospects with high potential but low floors, which ultimately led to roster issues. Only Kyle Trask remains on the roster, likely to serve as a backup quarterback.

This re-draft proposes selecting Creed Humphrey in the first round, a center drafted by the Kansas City Chiefs, and a proven talent, offering potential for continuity in the offensive line. Osa Odighizuwa, a strong defensive tackle, could have strengthened the defensive line, especially given the decline of veterans like Ndamukong Suh. Amon-Ra St. Brown, a standout receiver, would address depth at wide receiver, particularly after Chris Godwin's injury. Further selections like Chuba Hubbard and K.J. Britt would bolster the running game and linebacker depth, respectively, reflecting a more balanced class.

The Dallas Cowboys are reshaping their backfield after losing 1,000-yard rusher Rico Dowdle to the Carolina Panthers. Owner Jerry Jones has opted not to solely rely on veteran signings like Javonte Williams and Miles Sanders, instead drafting two promising running backs, Jaydon Blue and Phil Mafah, to introduce competition. With the Cowboys' head coach expressing hope for the rookies to potentially start, veterans Williams and Sanders face pressure to elevate their performances from last season, where both struggled significantly. The stage is set for a fierce training camp battle as all four running backs vie for the top spot on the depth chart.

As the Arizona Cardinals approach the upcoming NFL Draft, there is a strong likelihood they will prioritize defensive talent, particularly in the first round. Quarterback Kyler Murray recently shared his insights on potential picks during a podcast appearance, highlighting several standout defensive players. Murray's enthusiasm for Georgia's Mykel Williams and Jalon Walker, along with Ole Miss' Walter Nolen, underscores his belief in the importance of bolstering the defense.

The Cardinals have already made significant moves in free agency, securing defensive players like Josh Sweat and Dalvin Tomlinson, which aligns with their strategy to strengthen their defensive line. The team holds the 16th pick, and with an impressive roster of defensive prospects, they are poised to make a selection that could reshape their defensive capabilities for the next season.
