Photo by Rob Carr/Getty Images The NFL season is really here! The wait is over! The 2024 NFL season begins with an excellent Thursday Night Football matchup between the Baltimore Ravens and the Kansas City Chiefs. It’s a rematch of the AFC Conference Championship Game, where the Chiefs went on the road to defeat Baltimore, 17-10. The reigning Super Bowl Champions are 4-1 against the Ravens since Patrick Mahomes (2017) and Lamar Jackson (2018) were drafted. Kansas City added several pass-catchers in the offseason; one, Hollywood Brown, will miss the game with a collarbone injury. Former Baltimore defensive coordinator Mike MacDonald is now the head coach of the Seattle Seahawks. The Ravens added former Tennessee Titan Derrick Henry to their backfield and will have tight end Mark Andrews healthy. The Detroit Lions upset the Chiefs 21-20 on last year’s opening Thursday Night Football game. Can the Ravens do something similar? Want to join FanDuel Sportsbook? Click here for deals!

The Linc – Fantasy football advice says to shy away from Saquon Barkley
Photo by Scott Taetsch/Getty Images Philadelphia Eagles news and links for 9/5/24. Let’s get to the Philadelphia Eagles links … The 2024 Shy-Away 30: Barkley, Diggs lead list – RotoworldSaquon Barkley (Yahoo ADP: 13.1). When I’m taking a running back at the top of the second round, I’m looking for high-value touches — goal-line carries plus targets — and elite efficiency. Does Barkley have either of these things? Since the Eagles have a free touchdown play with Jalen Hurts and the Tush Push, they ranked 26th in running back carries inside the three-yard line. Hurts hasn’t been one to throw to his backs, either. Last year, the Eagles’ backfield sat at 21st in targets per game. Barkley’s efficiency has left a lot to be desired in recent years, as well. Over the past three seasons, he has never finished higher than 30th in yards after contact per carry. His numbers will improve behind Philly’s elite offensive line, but the change of scenery needs to turn back time half a decade for Barkley to look like the superstar he once was. Parlaying a return to form, a change in goal-line tendencies, and an uptick in running back targets is too much to ask for inside the first 15 picks. With the Eagles, ‘cocky’ Saquon Barkley can’t wait to show how the Giants stifled his talent – InquirerSix years ago it galled Eagles fans to see Barkley — who wore Whitehall High School’s maroon and gold, then Penn State’s blue and white — squeeze his thunderous thighs into the red, white, blue, and gray of the New York Giants. In the swamps of East Rutherford, N.J., Barkley wasted the first six seasons of his career. “You’ll definitely get a better sense [of my abilities] in this offense,” Barkley said. “Not trying to sound cocky — the tape speaks for itself.” 5 things to be excited about the 2024 Eagles – BGNSaquon Barkley is going to be “the guy” in the new Eagles offense. Head coach Nick Sirianni said this week the team was ready to fully unleash the former Giants star and Pro Bowler, saying “He can go for it here” after watching a Barkley run in practice Monday that made him do a double take. I’m also fascinated to see if the Eagles can finally utilize a running back out of the backfield as a pass-catcher, and how much that will help Jalen Hurts. I’m excited to see what Barkley can do running behind a real quarterback in a real offense with real weapons that teams have to focus on other than him. In New York, all eyes were on him. In Philadelphia, he may be option No. 3 or 4 at times. Some believe the offense will run through Barkley, but whether that’s true or not, I’m most excited about a potentially monstrous season from him. Game Week – Iggles BlitzI am most excited to see Saquon in action. I watched him for three years at Penn State. He was a special player there and has done some special things while trapped as a member of the Giants. Saquon finally gets to be part of a good team. He has good blocking. He’s part of a good passing attack. All of this could bring out the best in him. Saquon could have a special season. Special Teams is an x-factor every season. With the new kickoff rules that could be especially true. Michael Clay did a terrific job with the STs last year. Let’s hope he can repeat that. This team should once again be a Super Bowl contender. They need to stay relatively healthy. They need Jalen Hurts to play like he did in 2022. And they need the defense to be good enough. This offense can be special, but they can’t be in a shootout on a weekly basis. 2024 should be a fun season. At the very least, it will be interesting. Eagles-Packers player matchups to watch in Week 1 in Brazil – NBCSPJalen Carter vs. Jordan Morgan. The Eagles are expecting big things from Jalen Carter this season. Carter flashed enough last season to show an All-Pro ceiling. There’s a strong argument to be made that he’s the Eagles’ most important defensive player in 2024. And Carter will likely get to face a rookie in Week 1. The Packers drafted Jordan Morgan with the No. 25 overall pick in April and moved the former Arizona left tackle to right guard this summer. Morgan didn’t get to play in the preseason because he was dealing with a shoulder injury. So not only is he flipping sides of the line and changing positions, but Morgan missed some time in training camp and wasn’t able to play in the preseason. His first game action in the NFL is coming at a new position and against a guy who could be an All-Pro in 2024. NFL QB Index, Week 1: Ranking all 32 starters entering 2024 season – NFL.com10) Jalen Hurts. Here’s where I’m going to end up drawing the ire of Dolphins fans (again), who, honestly, have a case for their QB being in the top 10. But I feel confident in placing Hurts here for one key reason: We still don’t know what on earth happened with the 2023 Eagles. I firmly believe that, by the end of 2024, we’ll be able to reach one of two conclusions: The back half of last season can be tossed out as an anomaly, or it was the first sign of the Eagles’ downfall under Nick Sirianni. At this point, I’ll rely on prior evidence and predict they’ll get it right this season, with Hurts returning to the elite tier he occupied through 2022 and into the first half of 2023. When empowered and composed, Hurts is a special quarterback whose play is worthy of the $51 million he’s making per year. He’s only 26 years old and has his whole career ahead of him — and I, for one,

His rate-based stats, such as pass rush win rate, did not imply an 11.5-sack campaign, and with Brian Burns coming over from Carolina, Thibodeaux could take a back seat in terms of getting to the quarterback.

Saquon Barkley — the face of the franchise since 2018 — skipped town for the rival Eagles on Day 1 of free agency. Last year’s backup Matt Brieda wasn’t re-signed. Even the offensive line blocking for them looks new, with right tackle Jermaine Eluemunor and guards Greg Van Roten and Jon Runyan all signing this summer and earning starting jobs. Agent’s Take: Aaron Rodgers, Kirk Cousins headline 10 quarterbacks who are looking to bounce back in 2024 | CBSSports.com The Giants will likely move on from Jones if he can’t take advantage of these key offensive upgrades. It wouldn’t be surprising for the Giants to bench a healthy Jones at some point with him looking more like he did in 2023 than in 2022 because $23 million of his $30 million 2025 base salary is guaranteed for injury. On the fifth day of the 2025 league year (March 15, 2025), $12 million of the $23 million becomes fully guaranteed. The Giants would pick up $19.395 million of 2025 salary cap room from parting ways with Jones next March as there would $22.21 million in dead money rather than his $41.605 million 2025 cap number.

Vikes Views: Who Wins the NFCN?
Photo by Amy Lemus/NurPhoto via Getty Images The Minnesota Vikings are in one of the best divisions in football (according to the experts). It’s going to be a tough road ahead. Detroit Lions – Last year Detroit finished 12-5 last year and finally won their first NFCN crown. The should’ve been in the Super Bowl if not for being outscored by 20 in the 2nd half against the 49ers in the NFC Championship Game. They’re brining back Goff, Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jameson Williams, Jahmyr Gibbs, David Montgomery and all those studs on offense. Our friend Marcus Davenport is joining Aidan Hutchinson on the pass rush. The team is stacked and will be the favorite to win the North again. Green Bay Packers – The Packers finished strong last year thanks to a nice run by 1st year starter Jordan Love. Love proved a lot of doubters wrong. Small sample sizes can lie. The 6-2 stretch to finish the year and get the Wild Card spot was impressive. Even more impressive was the beating they put on the Cowboys defense in the playoffs. Yet another NFCN team that blew a late lead to the 49ers in the playoffs (thank goodness). The Packers will have to prove they can do it without Aaron Jones in the backfield. He was a big part of their year end run as well. Chicago Bears – Caleb Williams looks like the next great QB. Much like Justin Fields looked like the next great QB. Chicago has never had a good QB in their entire history. I’m always going to be a prove it person with the Bears. They have a strong WR group, decent secondary and some nice pieces overall. Caleb is setup for success, but is Matt Eberflus really the coach to get them there? I don’t think so. Bears are terrible until proven otherwise. Minnesota Vikings – The biggest wild card of the group. The Vikings would’ve given the Lions a run for their money last year if not for injuries to Kirk and Justin Jefferson. Kirk is gone. Sam Darnold is here and it’s a massive question mark. Will we get Case Keenum type run or could this be 2013 Cassel/Ponder/Freeman type year? Time will tell and it will likely be somewhere in between. The Vikings are at NYG to start. Memories of the Freeman game are all too real right now.
Could Dolphins be without Jalen Ramsey on Sunday – The Splash Zone 9/5/24
Sam Navarro-USA TODAY Sports Welcome to the Splash Zone, the quickest way to get your day started off right. We bring you a rundown of Miami Dolphins news from the last 24 hours. The Miami Dolphins could potentially be down one of their best defenders as cornerback Jalen Ramsey has been dealing with a hamstring injury and hasn’t been practicing. If Ramsey cannot go Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars, Ethan Bonner would be in line to get the start. Bonner had a very good offseason considering he only saw 11 defensive snaps as a rookie last year and quickly rose up the depth chart.

Ravens vs. Chiefs: Marlon Humphrey should cover WR Rashee Rice in week 1
Ravens vs. Chiefs: Marlon Humphrey should cover WR Rashee Rice in week 1 Larry Brown Jr. The Baltimore Ravens don’t need another heroic speech from defensive back Marlon Humphrey, but they could use his help slowing down Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice. Quietly, Rice had a solid 2023 season, finishing with 79 total receptions with an 11.9 yards per catch average. Rice also had success versus the Ravens in the AFC Championship, recording eight catches for 46 yards. As if stopping the Chiefs’ offensive passing attack were ever easy, it may be increasingly difficult if the Ravens can’t dictate at the line of scrimmage in week 1. Their matchup this upcoming Thursday will come down to their ability to defend with man coverage, meaning Humphrey (and others) will need to live up to the hype. Hopefully, Humphrey has been studying film to make the corrections needed to neutralize Rice at the deep and intermediate levels in the passing game. Humphrey’s physical (not verbal) success will be key in this game.
Bengals vs. Patriots Injury Report: Amarius Mims and Ja’Marr Chase limited
Frank Bowen IV/The Enquirer / USA TODAY NETWORK Uno in or Uno out? The big news in the Cincinnati Bengals world today was that star wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase was returning to practice as his contract status was still in limbo. While Chase’s return stole the show, we also got a look at the first injury report as the Bengals prepare to face the New England Patriots on Sunday. The Bengals appear to be healthy entering Week 1, with no players missing practice, but some were limited. Chase was listed as limited, but the reason was listed as rest, not injury. This could be Chase ramping back up, or it could have a deeper meaning in regard to the contract. We may all be too exhausted to speculate further. Joe Burrow is listed on the report with his right wrist but was listed as a full participant. A pair of rookies also showed as limited. Rookie defensive tackle Kris Jenkins was limited with a thumb injury, while offensive tackle Amarius Mims was limited as he worked his way back from a pectoral injury. Jenkins should be good to suit up on Sunday, but Mims is far more uncertain. For the Patriots, the list is a bit longer, but offensive guard Sidy Sow (ankle) was the only nonparticipant. Defensive back Johnathan Jones (hamstring), offensive tackle Vederian Lowe (abdomen), Linebacker Josh Uche (foot), and linebacker Oshane Ximines (ankle) were all listed as limited participants. They should all have a chance to play, but the Thursday injury report will give a better indication. Full participants included linebacker Christian Elliss (concussion), tight end Hunter Henry (foot), linebacker Anfernee Jennings (foot), and defensive end Deatrich Wise (hamstring). Barring any setbacks, they should all take the field Sunday afternoon.

Wednesday Injury Report – Vikings @ Giants
Photo by Mike Mulholland/Getty Images It’s the first injury report of the season The Minnesota Vikings are officially in week one of the 2024 season and since it’s Wednesday and they play on Sunday, that means the first injury report of the season has been released: Minnesota Vikings WR Jordan Addison (ankle) – limited WR Jalen Nailor (ankle) – limited New York Giants S Dane Belton (back) – limited QB Drew Lock (abdomen) – limited LB Micah McFadden (groin) – limited WR Gunner Olszewski (groin) – limited Kevin O’Connell spoke about the two Vikings on the injury report in his press conference today and said he hoped to get Jordan Addison to be a full participant by the end of the week, suggesting he’ll likely be playing on Sunday. He also said that Jalen Nailor suffered an ankle injury in practice but is progressing well but may be a couple days behind Addison in his recovery, which could mean something closer to a ‘questionable’ status for Sunday’s matchup if I’m reading that correctly, depending on his progress the rest of this week. For the Giants, the only starter on the list in safety Dane Belton. Unclear how severe that injury is for Belton, but if he’s not able to go he would likely be replaced by rookie second-round pick Tyler Nubin (a former Golden Gopher). The two had been competing in training camp for the starting job but Belton was believed to have won it. Stay tuned for more injury reports tomorrow and Friday. Follow me on X @wludford
