WCG Dynasty Fantasy Football: Assessing Ron Luce’s Roster 

Earlier today, we looked at Quinten Krzysko’s roster from the WCG Dynasty Fantasy Football League. As we said previously, now we are going to look at his “On Tap” counterpart, Ron Luce.

Ron is a first-year member of the league, inheriting a roster with some nice pieces, but it definitely needs a little work to whip it into shape. Let’s take a look at this roster and see what it takes to turn it into a championship contender.

First, here’s the roster:

Let’s start with the quarterback room and let’s start with one big “Yikes.” I actually think Kyler Murray...

‘One Of The Toughest Things:’ Steve Smith Sr. Offers Advice To Germie Bernard Ahead Of Rookie Season

Rookie wide receiver Germie Bernard has a golden opportunity during his rookie season with the Pittsburgh Steelers. If he impresses early, he could become an immediate contributor on an offense in need of playmakers. For a young receiver, playing with Aaron Rodgers is no cakewalk, and Bernard will need to prove to Rodgers, along with […]

NFC Notes: Jessie Bates, Chris Olave, Falcons, Panthers, Saints

Falcons

  • Falcons S Jessie Bates III was voted as the fifth-best safety in a poll of NFL coaches and execs: “Instincts and ball skills have allowed him to play at a high level for a long time,” an NFL coordinator said. “That’s why his game is aging well. He’s just got a knack for being around the ball.” (Jeremy Fowler)
  • “He’s lost a little bit of speed — that’s the only knock on him,” an NFL personnel evaluator said. (Fowler)
  • Atlanta S Xavier Watts received an honorable mention on this list as well: *“He has a...

3-Point Stance: Drake Maye’s potential 2026 leap goes beyond the stat sheet

3-Point Stance: Drake Maye’s potential 2026 leap goes beyond the stat sheet

What signals improvement for Drake Maye in 2026?

Typically, statistics are fans’ primary driver in their assessment of a player’s individual impact. Although strong numbers are a byproduct of effective play, it doesn’t always capture the growth between snaps or behind the scenes.

The New England Patriots quarterback concluded last season second in 2025 MVP voting, with 4,394 passing yards, 31 touchdowns to eight interceptions, and another 450 yards and four touchdowns on the ground. He also ranked first in the NFL in several advanced metrics, including total QBR and total EPA generated.

Even though Maye was one vote shy...

Poll: Will Pats Remain Elite In 2026?

Poll: Will Pats Remain Elite In 2026?

Beginning life after Bill Belichick in 2024, the Patriots stumbled through their second straight 4-13 season under rookie head coach Jerod Mayo. Although Mayo put together a successful career as a Patriots linebacker from 2008-15, owner Robert Kraft did not give him a second year on the sidelines. Kraft canned Mayo in January 2025 and replaced him with Mike Vrabel, another of the team’s ex-linebackers.

Unlike Mayo, Vrabel had already proven himself as a head coach when he took the Patriots’ job. While in charge of the Titans from 2018-23, Vrabel posted a respectable 54-45 regular-season record and went...

Joey Porter Jr. Projected to Make All-Pro Leap in 2026

In a recent article published by Pro Football Focus, Steelers cornerback Joey Porter Jr. was named one of 10 players projected to earn their first All-Pro selection in 2026.

PFF backed up its projection with some eye-opening metrics. Porter finished with the 10th-highest qualifying coverage grade among NFL cornerbacks in 2025 while also ranking third in forced incompletion rate at 24 percent. He also ranked fourth in snaps allowed per reception, further highlighting just how difficult he was to throw against.

As of late, Porter has finally started getting the respect he deserves. While he may not be a household...

AFC Notes: Jonathan Allen, Malaki Starks, Bengals, Ravens, Steelers

Bengals

Bengals DT Jonathan Allen understands that he can’t play an exorbitant number of snaps and said he needs to limit himself to stay fresh.

Looking at it from the big picture, it’s obvious it’s better not to play that many snaps,” Allen said, via the team’s website. “*So me and the trainers, me and the coaches, we just have a great understanding. Sometimes, I get emotional in the heat of the moment and I don’t want to come out. But at the end of the day, I get paid to do a job and they trust me and...

One prediction for Cowboys training camp, QB edition

The Dallas Cowboys are on the cusp of training camp. Let’s break down some position battles and make some predictions for camp. Let’s start with none other than the QB position.

Prediction – Sam Howell will win the QB battle behind Dak Prescott

It’s about who will be the backup QB behind Prescott should he go down for any period of time. It ahs been noted that since 2020 Prescott has missed five or more games every other season. He...

Can Troy Fautanu Become the Steelers Franchise Left Tackle?

Can Troy Fautanu Become the Steelers Franchise Left Tackle?

The Pittsburgh Steelers didn’t draft Troy Fautanu to simply be another offensive lineman. They drafted him to become the foundation of their offensive front for years to come. That vision has yet to fully materialize, but the opportunity is finally here.

After injuries limited the first season of his NFL career, Fautanu enters the 2026 season with a year of starting experience under his belt and expected to take on one of the biggest roles of any player on Pittsburgh’s roster. With the Steelers continuing to build their offense around a young offensive line, the former first-round pick is expected...

Puka Nacua plans to stay with Rams

As Puka Nacua prepares to enter the final season of his rookie contract, the L.A. Rams’ number receiver says that he plans to stay with the team long-term. While under normal circumstances this would seem like a given, the situation around Puka specifically, including Sean McVay having to talk to him about the importance of getting himself right before the team would commit, and the modern era of NFL trades including many blockbuster players over contract stalemates, this time his future is uncertain.

But according to a tweet by Arye Pulli, from what appears to be the scheduled appearance by...

Las Vegas Raiders Mailbag: Could DJ Glaze improve similarly to Kolton Miller?

We’re less than a week away from the Las Vegas Raiders’ rookies reporting to training camp, making this our last pre-camp mailbag of the summer. We’re continuing to dive into the Raiders’ roster, with a heavy emphasis on the offensive line since there are several position battles in the trenches. Let’s get to it!

A: First, thank you! Marcus and I appreciate the support and the kind words!

I understand where the thought process is in comparing the beginnings of Kolton Miller’s and DJ Glaze’s careers since both struggled in pass protection early on. But one of the big differences...
