The Giants won’t be throwing a “Welcome home!” party for DeSean Jackson or Jason Witten. Two of the Giants’ biggest nemeses of the 2000s are back in the NFC East Division as Jackson was traded back to the Eagles by the Buccaneers and Witten unretired, leaving the Monday Night Football broadcast

When the NFL passer rating was initially developed in 1973, the objective was to create a single number that would differentiate between outstanding, excellent, average and poor performance. Below are the metrics the developers of the formula felt best denoted those performances at the time, and which

The Eagles’ 2018 season didn’t go according to plan, but they still enter the offseason with optimism. All the while, the NFC East is crumbling around them. The division has become the embodiment of that famous gif with the dog casually sitting in the middle of a room that’s completely on

Jason Witten is coming out of retirement and rejoining the Dallas Cowboys after one season as a television analyst.

With Jason Witten headed back to the Cowboys, another big question starts: Who will replace him on “Monday Night Football” broadcasts?

It’s fun to sit back and play armchair general manager of an NFL team. Look at the guys available, rearrange rosters, juggle the salary cap, bring in the players you want to root for, ship out the guys you’re tired of letting ruin your Sundays, build your own dream team. With only AAF action

Since the 2018 season is officially over, it’s time to start looking forward to the 2019 season. As is typically done in the offseason, it’s time to take a look at the NFL’s top running backs, wide receivers and quarterbacks. Everyone seems to enjoy a good list, so here we go. We’ll start

The Los Angeles Rams moved on to the NFC Championship Game after they earned their first playoff win since 2004 on Saturday night. The running game led the way in the 30-22 divisional-round win over the Dallas Cowboys at Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. Todd Gurley and C.J. Anderson each topped 100 rushing

Most weeks we see two solid, higher-priced RBs and at least a couple random WRs in the DraftKings perfect lineup, but Week 14 was a little different. There’s still a rando WR sighting (Hey, Kenny Stills…remember him?), but there’s a rando RB, too. Couple that with the rare two-TE set and a

Original story from Kate Hairopoulos follows It’s official — the Cowboys will have to face the white-hot New Orleans Saints without All-Pro left tackle Tyron Smith.  Smith is inactive, missing his second straight game since he suffered a stinger late in the win over Atlanta. Dallas and backup Cameron

Greetings, Raider fans! Tonight’s Thursday Night Football game will be one of the few Thursday games of the season that is between two actually good teams, one of them being a team in New Orleans which might actually be the best. The Cowboys come in at 6-5, tied for the lead in the NFC East because

This year’s race in the NFC East wasn’t supposed to be especially complicated. At the start of the season, the Philadelphia Eagles were the reigning Super Bowl champs and awaited the imminent return of quarterback Carson Wentz. After the Dallas Cowboys topped the Washington Redskins 31-23 on Thursday

Fantasy football playoffs berths are on the line in many leagues this week, magnifying every decision for Week 11. This late in the season, you’ll need proven Fantasy football rankings to navigate a minefield of injuries and byes. Is Marcus Mariota or Ryan Fitzpatrick a better replacement Tom Brady

FANTASY PLAYER OF THE WEEK Amari Cooper, WR, Cowboys: It’s amazing what a change of scenery can do for a talented receiver. Since arriving with the Cowboys, Cooper has 18 targets. Last Sunday night, against the Eagles, he was consistently open, and this week, he’ll face the league’s worst

The Cowboys had two takeaways in the first quarter Monday night and converted with only seven points. They got an interception early in Sunday’s game and ended up with only a field goal.

Yahoo Sports NFL senior writers Kimberley A. Martin, Charles Robinson and Terez Paylor select Week 10 games this weekend that can leave us buzzing heading into Monday.

Among the 5 Things I Liked: Amari Cooper’s route-running expectations in Dallas. Mitchell Trubisky’s legs. Aaron Donald’s dominance. Joe Flacco’s feathery touch. And the Lions mauling people.

Why wait for the draft or free agency when talent is available now? The Cowboys’ aggressive move should be applauded.

Dallas Cowboys: It’s tough replacing one of the most accurate kickers in NFL history, but that’s just what Brett Maher is doing this season — and doing it well. When the Cowboys cut Dan Bailey and his $3.4 million salary and brought in the $480,000-a-year Maher, no one was quite sure how it would

One thing seems clear through the first three games of the season: The Cowboys offense is not good.

LANDOVER, Md. — Adrian Peterson has played against Aaron Rodgers more than a dozen times and knows not to be surprised by anything. So when the prolific quarterback led the Green Bay Packers to a comeback victory in Week 1 and played well on an injured left knee in Week 2, it was par for the course.

Scales: Of all the Cowboys veterans that signed with other teams in free agency (or were dealt away in offseason trades), there are two that I think have great opportunities to make splashes this season. Anthony Hitchens, the former starter at middle linebacker for the Cowboys, joined the Chiefs. Hitchens

Cowboy fans were revved up for game action last week and Dallas delivered, albeit in a 24-21 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. The play of the 2018 draft class in training camp built excitement during their opening performance and the hope is always that they can take that and build upon it for the next

OXNARD, Calif. — Sean Lee, the linebacker, team captain and longest-serving Cowboys player on offense or defense, took an active role in the NFL’s reinstatement of teammate Randy Gregory. Lee was among the Dallas players who penned a note to NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, asking him to give Gregory

Every year, there seems to be a mid-tier quarterback who gets selected late in fantasy football drafts and becomes a top-flight starter. Last year, that was Carson Wentz, a sleeper darling for many who was fantasy’s top quarterback before tearing his ACL in Week 14 against the Rams. In 2018, the

The Cowboys, like everyone else, live with regret. We take a look at the players they probably wish they hadn’t passed on in recent drafts. Here is the 2014 edition of lament: 5. Trai Turner, G — LSU Drafted 92nd overall by Carolina Panthers The Cowboys picked up an anchor to the interior of the

The Cowboys, like everyone else, live with regret. We take a look at the players they probably wish they hadn’t passed on in recent drafts. Here is the 2013 edition of lament: 5. Latavius Murray, RB — Central Florida Drafted 181st overall by Oakland Raiders The Cowboys took Joseph Randle _ remember

Editors note: This story was originally published on May 24, 2018. With the 2018 NFL draft complete, the instant reactions have been rampant the past month. Only time will tell which teams “won” or “lost” the 2018 draft with the picks they made, but there were several teams that stood
