Buccaneers duo listed as 'underrated' in fantasy football for the 2025 season
Fantasy football is the ultimate game of chess for football fans. There are numerous strategies that a team owner can implement, especially on draft day. For example, some will draft going for value on bye week coverage; this is a sound strategy, but the best—and usually most expensive—move to make is the quarterback-wide receiver combination. Stacking a quarterback who throws a lot of touchdowns, with a wide receiver who catches a good chunk of them, is a deadly combination. That combination is precisely what the Buccaneers possess, as the dynamic duo of Baker Mayfield and Mike Evans no longer fly under the radar, as Bleacher Report gives them the "underrated stack" title. At some point every season, you'll hear, "death, taxes, and Mike Evans eclipsing 1000 receiving yards are the only things certain in this life," and that's for good reason, because he's going to get there every year. What makes Evans even more dangerous is his goalline fade route that has seemingly been unstoppable for his entire career, as the 11-year vet sits ninth all-time with 105 receiving touchdowns. You might not get the 40+ point breakouts from Evans that you would get from a Ja'Marr Chase, but you will get consistency every week. Mayfield is well-known as a gunslinger, and after leading the NFC in touchdowns with 41 last season (plus an additional three on the ground), you'd think that he would be talked about more leading into many fantasy drafts. However, he's still never a sexy name when fantasy football comes around. But, are you drafting based on name or production? In their two seasons playing together, Evans has logged 153 receptions for 2259 yards and 24 touchdowns, all from Mayfield, and missed three games along the way. The Buccaneers quarterback also finished last season with the third-best completion percentage (71.4%) and the fourth-highest QB Rating (106.8). Not to mention the Buccaneers have an incredible array of weapons for Mayfield to pass the ball to, so not only do you get the stack of Mayfield and Evans, you reap the benefits of the loaded pass-catching corps. Per FantasyPros, ADP projections in PPR leagues for Evans are 42nd overall (WR20) and Mayfield 61st overall (QB7), meaning that you could be the owner of one of the higher reward stacks, with a reasonably mitigated risk that wouldn't sacrifice the quality of your team by having to stretch and draft either player much earlier than you want.

Bijan Robinson's Intense Workout With Christian McCaffrey Turns Heads
Bijan Robinson's Intense Workout With Christian McCaffrey Turns Heads originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson is making waves this offseason, training alongside San Francisco 49ers star Christian McCaffrey Advertisement A recent post shared by the official NFL Instagram account showcasing them after a workout session has fans buzzing about the trio's dedication and physical prowess. The image, capturing the athletes' chiseled physiques and relentless work ethic, highlights a mentorship that could elevate Robinson's game to new heights. Robinson, entering his third NFL season, has been vocal about his admiration for McCaffrey, a versatile and explosive running back known for his meticulous preparation. The Instagram post shows the two men flexing their muscles with severely strengthened builds, a scary sight for opposing defenses. Advertisement Posts on social media reveal that this isn't a one-off—Robinson and McCaffrey have spent significant time together this offseason, with the veteran offering insights to refine the young star's approach. Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson (7).Eric Hartline-Imagn Images The collaboration is already sparking excitement. Fans and analysts are calling the trio jacked and predicting breakout seasons, particularly for Robinson, who showed flashes of brilliance last year with 1,866 all-purpose yards. Training with McCaffrey, a two-time All-Pro, signals Robinson's intent to dominate in 2025 and build off of the incredible season he had in 2024. This offseason grind underscores the NFL's evolving emphasis on year-round commitment. Advertisement As Robinson hones his skills under McCaffrey's guidance, Falcons fans are eager to see how this partnership translates to the field. With training camp looming, the Instagram post has set the stage for a season of high expectations for both the star running backs.

Atlanta Falcons Broadcaster Wes Durham Previews the Upcoming Season
Atlanta Falcons Broadcaster Wes Durham Previews the Upcoming Season originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Wes Durham has served as the Voice of the Atlanta Falcons since 2004. Additionally, he is a college football and basketball announcer for ESPN and the ACC Network. I recently had the chance to chat with Wes about his enthusiasm for the upcoming season and the training camp competitions to keep an eye on this summer. Advertisement Craig: Have you bought into the hype surrounding Michael Penix Jr.? Wes: You have to remind yourself that Michael is an 'older young player' in the NFL. One of the things that he brings to the table is a lot of experience from all different levels. I think he arrived a year ago as an accomplished college player who was clearly ready for the next step, but because of the things he had been through at both Indiana and Washington during his college career, he showed remarkable patience, and I think that will serve him well as this season unfolds. Craig: Are you confident he's the future 'face' of the organization? Wes: This might not be a popular opinion, but for me, Bijan Robinson is the face of the franchise right now. I think QB is a position where many fans think of that title, but in the case of the Falcons, I think Robinson has the potential to be one of the league's showstoppers for seasons to come. Craig: I've written pieces this summer stating that the opener vs. Tampa is a critical game to set the tone for the season. Maybe not a must-win but an important one. Would you agree? Advertisement Wes: I don't know that one game is more important than any other for Atlanta. The first four games before the 'bye week' all seem pretty important to me. Craig: On July 23rd the Falcons will officially open camp. What position battles are you most intrigued by? Wes: Two on defense will be interesting for me. The opposite corner from AJ Terrell is one I'll pay close attention to for sure. Mike Hughes, Clark Phillips, and who else might emerge there. The second one is at Linebacker, where I think Divine Deablo looked strong in mini-camp, and I think could end up being one of the most underrated signings of the off-season. Craig: I'm curious if you still get butterflies on gameday pulling into the stadium? Advertisement Wes: Not like you would think. The chemistry and friendship Dave Archer and I have built in the last 21 years doing the games actually gives us a lot of confidence, so it's a different kind of excitement than butterflies, but it's been a professional thrill to do these games with 'Arch' for so many years. We both are grateful to Mr. Blank and the organization for their long-term support of our broadcasts.
