- Joey Porter Jr.
At 6-2 195lbs, Joey Porter Jr. is excellent in man coverage on the outside, but a role in the slot might be warranted for a few reasons. His ability to body bigger receivers and TE's in the slot and his presence in the run game will be discussed ad nausea during the NFL draft combine season. But his ability to play vs. bigger outside receivers makes it a more difficult decision due to his elite length and fluid hips. There are some negatives. He could be more solid in zone defense. At times on film, he lacks the closing speed needed in the NFL to play in a zone-based scheme. He can also be a little too aggressive in coverage, an area he needed to clean up in 2022 after a rocky 2021 season where he was flagged in coverage ten times vs. three times in 2022. < Back Joey Porter Jr. Penn State HT: 6024 WT: 193 YR: RJR POS: CB OVR RK 13 POS RK CEILING POTENTIAL 3 High-End Starter Potential OVR RK PLAYSTYLE & SCHEME FIT In terms of his NFL scheme fit, Porter Jr. would be a good fit for a team that plays a press-man coverage scheme or a Cover 3 defense. His size and physicality make him a good candidate to play on the boundary, where he can use his length to disrupt receivers and make plays on the ball. He also has good speed and agility, which would allow him to play in zone coverage and effectively break on the ball.

- Fantasy Football Week 11: Must-Add Waiver Wire & Stash Targets – Audric Estimé, Jaylen Warren, and More
Fantasy Football Week 11: Must-Add Waiver Wire & Stash Targets – Audric Estimé, Jaylen Warren, and More For NFL week 11, the waiver wire presents numerous chances to bolster your roster with promising options at RB and WR. Here are the standout players to consider adding. Week 11 of the NFL season is here, and the fantasy football playoffs are just around the corner. Perhaps some of you experienced tough losses against Ja'Marr Chase and Joe Burrow, or maybe a combination of Lamar Jackson and Ja'Marr Chase in week ten. It's now important to put those outcomes behind and focus on the task of securing a spot in the fantasy playoffs. Week 11 Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Targets Quarterbacks Justin Herbert, Los Angeles Chargers (Rostered: 56%) Herbert isn’t dazzling fantasy managers with explosive numbers this season, but under head coach Jim Harbaugh's system, “Beast Herbert” is delivering solid QB1 production each week. With a steady average of 21.1 fantasy points over the last three games and two touchdowns per game in that span, Herbert is proving to be a reliable option, especially heading into a matchup with a Bengals defense allowing the fifth-most fantasy points per game (FPPG) to quarterbacks in 2024. Expect a well-rounded performance, making him an excellent start as the Chargers look to exploit Cincinnati’s vulnerable secondary. Bo Nix, Denver Broncos (Rostered: 28%) Rookie Bo Nix has emerged as a steady fantasy contributor, scoring 16.1 fantasy points on the road against the Chiefs in Week 10. He faces a favorable matchup in Week 11 against the Falcons, who have allowed 20.1 FPPG to quarterbacks over their last four games. Since October, Nix has hit a minimum of 14 points in every game, with three 20+ point outings—each at home. Given his floor and recent consistency, Nix offers strong streaming value this week, especially for managers looking to fill a quarterback void or take advantage of a favorable matchup. Drake Maye, New England Patriots (Rostered: 3%) Drake Maye hit a bump in Week 10, scoring just 11.7 fantasy points against a stout Bears defense, his lowest output since becoming New England’s starter. However, Week 11 brings a better matchup against the Rams, who will be coming off a short week. Maye’s season average hovers around 17 FPPG across his starts, and he brings dual-threat capabilities that could provide a nice fantasy boost against the Rams’ inconsistent defense. While he’s a riskier play than Herbert or Nix, Maye remains a viable streaming option with upside for managers in deeper leagues. Running Backs Jaylen Warren, Pittsburgh Steelers (54% Rostered) Warren has been climbing up waiver priority lists for weeks and remains a top add for Week 11. Returning strong after Pittsburgh’s bye, Warren carried the ball 14 times for 66 yards and added two catches for 29 yards. His production outpaced Najee Harris, with Warren averaging 4.7 yards per carry compared to Harris' 2.5. With Harris briefly sidelined with an ankle injury in Week 10, Warren’s role could expand even more. If Harris is limited or unavailable, Warren’s dual-threat capability makes him a valuable addition against the Baltimore Ravens this week. Audric Estimé, Denver Broncos (7% Rostered) Estimé’s role has been a subject of speculation all season, but Head Coach Sean Payton finally gave him the nod as the Broncos’ primary back in Week 10. Against the Chiefs, Estimé rushed 14 times for 53 yards while leading the backfield in snaps. Averaging 5.68 yards per carry over his first ten games, Estimé’s efficient running has given him an edge in a backfield crowded with Javonte Williams and Jaleel McLaughlin. With a favorable matchup against the Falcons, Estimé has significant potential as the Broncos continue to lean on their rookies. Gus Edwards, Los Angeles Chargers (19% Rostered) After returning from injury, Edwards proved he’s ready to get back in the mix, carrying the ball ten times for 55 yards in the Chargers’ win over Tennessee. Although JK Dobbins remains the lead back, the Chargers’ coaching staff has shifted between run-heavy and pass-heavy game plans, depending on game flow. Edwards’ value increases if he can secure red-zone and goal-line work. His favorable schedule down the stretch, especially with upcoming games against teams struggling to defend the run, could make him a valuable stash. Tyler Allgeier, Atlanta Falcons (50% Rostered) Allgeier has consistently appeared in waiver wire discussions due to his workload behind Bijan Robinson. In Week 10, Allgeier turned 11 carries into 59 yards and saw multiple goal-line opportunities, hinting at his usage potential. Although largely touchdown-dependent, his solid workload makes him a viable bye-week fill-in or injury replacement. Heading into a Week 11 game against Denver, he’s worth a roster spot for his steady touches. Trey Benson, Arizona Cardinals (25% Rostered) Despite a limited role, Benson has managed consecutive double-digit fantasy weeks. Against the Jets, he carried ten times for 62 yards and added two catches for 25 yards. While James Conner continues to lead the Cardinals’ backfield, Benson’s role is expanding enough to offer flex potential in favorable matchups. After the Cardinals’ Week 11 bye, Benson could become a sneaky add for managers looking for a high-upside bench option. Wide Receivers Jauan Jennings, San Francisco 49ers (51% Rostered) With Brandon Aiyuk out for the season, Jennings has stepped up as Brock Purdy’s go-to target. In his Week 10 return, Jennings caught seven of 11 targets for 93 yards. Jennings has been productive when called upon, posting a stellar performance earlier this season with an 11-catch, 175-yard, three-touchdown game. Positioned in the X receiver role, he projects as a consistent WR2 moving forward. His matchup against the Seahawks makes him a top priority for Week 11. Quentin Johnston, Los Angeles Chargers (12% Rostered) Johnston has had a rollercoaster season but recently showed signs of a breakout, recording a career-high 118 yards and a touchdown in Week 9. Though Week 10 was quieter, his knack for finding the end zone (five touchdowns this season) makes him a valuable option, especially with favorable matchups against the Bengals and Ravens ahead. Johnston’s potential as a big-play threat makes him a worthwhile gamble for fantasy managers needing receiver depth. Ricky Pearsall, San Francisco 49ers (16% Rostered) Despite a challenging start to his NFL career, Pearsall is establishing himself as a solid playmaker in the 49ers’ offense. His Week 10 breakout included a 46-yard touchdown catch, showcasing his big-play potential. Although competing for targets with Jennings, Deebo Samuel, and George Kittle, Pearsall’s athleticism and ability to stretch the field make him a viable deep-league flex option with a promising matchup against the Seahawks. Cedric Tillman, Cleveland Browns (37% Rostered) With Jameis Winston at the helm, Tillman has benefited from an aggressive passing approach. Averaging 22.2 FPPG in his last three games, he’s a promising flex option heading into a Week 11 matchup against the Saints. Tillman has become one of Winston’s favorite targets, especially in the red zone, giving him high upside for managers looking to solidify their lineups for the playoff push. Tight Ends Mike Gesicki, Cincinnati Bengals (32% Rostered) With Tee Higgins still sidelined, Gesicki has emerged as a consistent option for the Bengals’ passing attack. Although his Week 10 performance was modest (four catches for 30 yards), he saw over six targets for the third consecutive game, underscoring his increased involvement. Gesicki remains a reliable streaming option, especially in leagues where tight end production is hard to find. Jonnu Smith, Miami Dolphins (36% Rostered) Smith has quietly become a dependable part of Miami’s passing game, seeing six or more targets in four of his last five games. Although his Week 10 target count dipped slightly, he made his receptions count, coming close to scoring on a broken tackle. His snap count has steadily increased, making him a promising streaming option for Week 11 against the Raiders.

- College Football Playoff Preview: Texas vs. Arizona State – Peach Bowl Matchup Analysis
College Football Playoff Preview: Texas vs. Arizona State – Peach Bowl Matchup Analysis The stage is set for a thrilling quarterfinal matchup in the College Football Playoff. No. 5 Texas (12-2) will take on No. 4 Arizona State (11-2) in the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta on New Year’s Day. Texas vs. Arizona State For Texas, this game represents another step toward validating their status as a national powerhouse following their first College Football Playoff victory over Clemson. For Arizona State, it’s a chance to continue their Cinderella season, having shocked the nation by claiming the Big 12 title after being projected to finish last in the conference. Both teams bring unique strengths and compelling storylines, making this a must-watch matchup in Atlanta. Key Storylines to Watch 1. Can Cam Skattebo Carry Arizona State to Glory? Arizona State running back Cam Skattebo has been the backbone of the Sun Devils’ offense, finishing the season as a Heisman finalist. Skattebo amassed 1,568 rushing yards, 506 receiving yards, and 22 total touchdowns. His physical, downhill running style has made him one of the most feared backs in the nation. The Sun Devils lean heavily on their ground game, ranking 11th nationally in rush rate (60.7%). However, they face a daunting challenge against Texas' defense, which ranks 7th in EPA per rush and 13th in rushing defense. For Arizona State to pull off the upset, Skattebo must find ways to break through the Longhorns’ disciplined front seven, led by Alfred Collins and Anthony Hill Jr. 2. Texas’ Stifling Secondary vs. Arizona State’s Passing Game Texas boasts the nation’s No. 1 passing defense, allowing just 4.1 yards per dropback and ranking 3rd in interceptions. Led by Thorpe Award winner Jahdae Barron, along with standout safety Michael Taaffe, the Longhorns’ secondary has been a nightmare for opposing quarterbacks. Arizona State quarterback Sam Leavitt has been a revelation, earning All-Big 12 honors as a redshirt freshman. While his numbers (2,814 passing yards, 21 touchdowns) have been solid, he’ll need to elevate his game to navigate Texas’ suffocating coverage. With top receiver Jordyn Tyson doubtful, Leavitt will need contributions from Melquan Stovall and the rest of the Sun Devils’ receiving corps to keep Arizona State’s offense balanced. 3. Texas’ Ground Game: Can It Dominate Again? Texas showcased its dominant rushing attack in their first-round win over Clemson, tallying 292 rushing yards at 6.1 yards per carry. Jaydon Blue, who broke off a game-sealing 77-yard touchdown run, leads a dynamic backfield that has steadily improved throughout the season. Arizona State’s run defense, led by C.J. Fite, ranks 52nd nationally, and they have struggled against elite rushing attacks. The battle in the trenches will likely dictate the pace of the game, as Texas looks to control the clock and wear down Arizona State’s defense. 4. The Quarterback Battle: Quinn Ewers vs. Sam Leavitt Quinn Ewers has been efficient this season, throwing for 26 touchdowns while minimizing mistakes. However, his decision-making has been inconsistent at times, which could give Arizona State’s opportunistic defense a chance to capitalize. On the other side, Sam Leavitt’s dual-threat ability adds an extra layer of complexity for Texas’ defense. While Leavitt has thrived in big moments, he hasn’t faced a defense as complete as Texas’. His poise under pressure will be critical as the Sun Devils look to pull off the upset. 5. Arizona State’s Cinderella Story From 3-9 last year to a Big 12 title this season, Arizona State’s meteoric rise under head coach Kenny Dillingham has been one of the year’s best stories. The Sun Devils enter the game on a six-game winning streak, fueled by a relentless ground attack and an opportunistic defense. Texas, meanwhile, is seeking redemption after falling short in last year’s playoff and has the chance to establish itself as a perennial title contender. The Peach Bowl serves as a proving ground for both programs to show they belong on the biggest stage. NFL Draft Prospects to Watch Texas: Jaydon Blue, RB: Explosive runner with big-play ability and breakaway speed. Jahdae Barron, CB: Elite cover corner with ball-hawking skills and instincts. Alfred Collins, DT: Dominant interior lineman with excellent gap control and pass-rush ability. Quinn Ewers, QB: Efficient thrower with good arm talent and decision-making. Kelvin Banks, OT: Big athletic tackle with good movement skills and high-level blocking ability Arizona State: Cam Skattebo, RB: Physical, downhill runner with strong hands and versatility. Previous Meeting Highlights Score: Texas 52, Arizona State 34 (2007 Holiday Bowl) In their only previous meeting, the Longhorns dominated behind Jamaal Charles’ 161 rushing yards and two touchdowns. Michael Jones tallied 107 receiving yards and two touchdowns for the Sun Devils in a high-scoring affair. Texas vs. Arizona State Odds and Projection Texas enters the Peach Bowl as a 13-point favorite, with the total points line set at 51.5. The implied final score projects a Texas victory, 34-20, highlighting the Longhorns’ advantages in talent and depth. Prediction This Peach Bowl quarterfinal pits Arizona State’s improbable Cinderella story against a Texas team seeking to cement its place as a national powerhouse. The game will hinge on whether Arizona State’s ground game, led by Cam Skattebo, can find success against Texas’ elite defense. While the Sun Devils’ resilience and physicality will keep the game competitive, Texas’ depth, defensive dominance, and explosive playmakers give them the edge. Look for the Longhorns to pull away late and advance to the semifinals. Projected Score: Texas 34, Arizona State 20

Penix stands out with his precision and pocket poise, drawing parallels to established NFL passers like Joe Burrow and C.J. Stroud. There are, of course, injury concerns, but those have quieted a bit with reports of clean NFL Combine medicals. Under the right coaching, Penix's transition to the NFL could see him exceed expectations and secure a starting role immediately.

While he demonstrates some improvisational skills, his best performance comes from structured play, where his significant arm strength and accuracy come into play. Ideal for a pro-style or West Coast offense, Penix's transition into the NFL will largely depend on the alignment of his skills with the offensive scheme and the provision of a supportive team structure that enhances his pocket passing strengths while minimizing mobility demands. His success at the professional level will hinge on finding the right system that can leverage his ability to make quick decisions, deliver strong, accurate passes, and manage the game effectively from the pocket.

- Summarizing Michigan's 10-Page Response to The Big Ten's Sportsmanship Investigation
Summarizing Michigan's 10-Page Response to The Big Ten's Sportsmanship Investigation Via a Tweet (X) this morning from Dan Wetzel (Yahoo Sports), here is the University of Michigan’s 10-page letter to the Big Ten responding to the sportsmanship investigation. In addition, I summarized the 10-page document below. University of Michigan's Formal Response: The University of Michigan has submitted a tenacious and detailed formal response to a Big Ten investigation notice regarding sportsmanship policy violations. Michigan asserts that any disciplinary action at this stage would be procedurally incorrect and unjustified as the NCAA investigation is still active, and the university has not had the chance to review evidence or respond appropriately. The response emphasizes the limitations NCAA rules impose on Michigan conducting its own probe and asserts the right to further statements as the investigation proceeds. Contention Against Disciplinary Actions: Michigan contends that disciplinary actions based on unproven rule violations would violate the Big Ten Conference Handbook and that any punitive measures against Coach Jim Harbaugh would overstep the Commissioner's authority and lack factual basis. The university also challenges the evidence quality cited in the conference's communication, labeling it as predominantly second or third-hand summaries rather than the tangible evidence required by the Handbook. Advisement on Precedent-Setting: The response also suggests a cautious approach from the Conference in setting precedents, given the potentially widespread nature of in-person scouting and other dubious practices in the league. It points out that if the activities of Connor Stalions are deemed violations, similar actions by other teams may also be rule breaches, as evidenced by decoded signals from a Purdue coach. Commitment to Rules Compliance: Finally, Michigan reiterates its commitment to compliance, stating its readiness to assume responsibility for any confirmed misconduct following the NCAA investigation. However, it maintains that fairness and adherence to the Conference Handbook necessitate a thorough and equitable process for adjudicating violations, mitigating actions, and determining appropriate sanctions. Any disciplinary action without such due process is deemed improper and premature by the university.
