Falcons EDGE Bralen Trice says he 'feels great' despite missing preseason opener
In fact, Trice himself seems rather optimistic about his 2025 season outlook.
'Nothing negative. Just taking care of my knee, making sure I get through the preseason," edge rusher Bralen Trice said, per the team's Terrin Waack. Trice, who was unable to take the field for the entirety of his rookie season due to a preseason ACL injury, says his knee actually "feels great" at this point.
With this, it is expected we will get get a chance to see what Trice is truly made of as a player sooner rather than later. The 6-foot-4, 274-pounder who was originally selected by the team in the third round of the 2024 NFL draft, earned high accolades at Washington, named the team's MVP in 2022 and 2023.
The best season of his career came in 2023 when he set a single-season career-high with 49 tackles (30 solo), tallying seven sacks, two passes defended, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery over 15 starts. On the entirety of his college career, the former Husky left the university with 101 combined tackles (63 solo), 29 tackles for loss, 18 sacks, two passes defended, one forced fumble and two fumble recoveries.
As things continue to trend in the right direction, it will be interesting to see how Trice looks in the second game olf the preseason as the Falcons take on the Tennessee Titans. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. ET in Mercedes-Benz Stadium on Friday.

Brian Flores' lawsuit against New York Giants can proceed, Circuit Court rules
The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan has upheld a previous ruling by Judge Valerie Caproni, allowing Brian Flores' claims against the NFL and three of its teams, including the New York Giants, to proceed. In addition to the Giants, the Houston Texans and Denver Broncos are named in the lawsuit that was initially filed in 2022, claiming the league was "rife with racism" and that the hiring/promotion of minority coaches is intentionally flawed. ESPN reports that the decision came on Thursday. The NFL can be put on trial over civil claims that Brian Flores and other Black coaches face discrimination, a federal appeals court ruled Thursday, finding insurmountable flaws with a league arbitration process that would permit commissioner Roger Goodell to serve as arbitrator. The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan upheld Judge Valerie Caproni's ruling that Flores can proceed with claims against the league and three teams: the Denver Broncos, the New York Giants and the Houston Texans. In a decision written by Circuit Judge Jose A. Cabranes, the appeals court said the NFL's arbitration rules forcing Flores to submit his claims to arbitration before Goodell do not have the protection of the Federal Arbitration Act because they provide for "arbitration in name only." At the time of his original filing, Flores claimed he was "humiliated" by the Giants for running him through a "sham interview." The team had just hired Brian Daboll as their next head coach, choosing him over Flores, who was a finalist for the job. Flores was informed of the Giants' decision through an accidental text by then-New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick. Giants co-owner John Mara denied Flores' claims, defended the decision to hire Daboll, and vowed to fight the allegations in court. "I'm not settling," Mara said at the time, via the New York Post. "Because the allegations are false and we're very comfortable with our hiring process. It was a fair process and we ended up making the decision we made based on a lot of factors, none of which had anything to do with race." Flores, who currently serves as defensive coordinator of the Minnesota Vikings, felt he was risking his NFL career after the filing, but claimed it would be worth the trouble to help establish better hiring practices for minority coaches. "The significance of the Second Circuit's decision cannot be overstated," Flores' attorneys -- Douglas H. Wigdor, David E. Gottlieb and John Elefterakis -- said in a statement. "For too long, the NFL has relied on a fundamentally biased and unfair arbitration process -- even in cases involving serious claims of discrimination. This ruling sends a clear message: that practice must end. This is a victory not only for NFL employees, but for workers across the country -- and for anyone who believes in transparency, accountability and justice." The NFL sees things differently. "We respectfully disagree with the panel's ruling, and will be seeking further review," spokesperson Brian McCarthy said. The Giants have yet to issue a statement following Thursday's ruling.

How a quirk of wartime football led to an extra list of AP All-Americans during the 1940s
Here is a trivia question that should stump your friends: A football player named Dick Todd once made an AP All-America team the year AFTER winning an NFL title. How was such a thing possible? The answer is that in 1943, Todd played for a service team — a quirk of wartime football that led some NFL players back to college football. Sort of. During World War II, military posts in the U.S. fielded football teams of their own. These weren't college teams in any traditional sense, but they were part of the college game. In addition to facing each other, they took on college programs and were included in AP team rankings. The AP, at least in 1943 and 1944, also named a service All-America team in addition to its more traditional one for college players that began in 1925. That's how Todd, who was on Washington's 1942 NFL championship team, became an AP military service All-American in 1943. He played for Iowa Pre-Flight, which finished that season ranked No. 2 in the AP poll — between No. 1 Notre Dame and No. 3 Michigan. 'There were some very strong teams,' said College Football Hall of Fame historian Denis Crawford, who noted that service teams also existed in World War I. That's how the 1918 Rose Bowl came to pit Camp Lewis (Army) against Mare Island (Marines). After making the college All-America team in 1943 with Northwestern, future Hall of Famer Otto Graham was named to the service All-America team the following year with North Carolina Pre-Flight. Bruce Smith won the 1941 Heisman Trophy as a running back for Minnesota. He later played for both Great Lakes Naval and St. Mary's Pre-Flight. The transfer portal was wild back then. Randolph Field played Texas to a 7-7 tie in the 1944 Cotton Bowl, with former Tulsa star Glenn Dobbs throwing a touchdown pass. Since the service teams could include ex-college stars and players with NFL experience, perhaps it's no surprise that facing them could be a challenge. Top-ranked Notre Dame was the AP's national champion in 1943 despite losing its only game to a Great Lakes (Navy) team ranked No. 6. Crawford said he isn't aware of any major backlash to the idea of putting college players up against pros. Just keeping the sport going during the war was hard enough. 'I didn't run across a lot of articles bemoaning this," Crawford said. "I think people were just happy to have the distraction.' Wartime football games were just one part of the relationship between the military and U.S. colleges. Training programs could help bring more people to campus — which schools certainly could use. 'The V-5 and V-12 programs had a direct impact on helping a lot of college football teams survive, and in the case of Notre Dame, helping the university survive," Crawford said. "To this day, that's why Navy and Notre Dame play every year. Notre Dame has a debt of gratitude to Navy for putting one of the V programs in South Bend, which kept that school humming.'

What can Browns do for your 2025 fantasy football team? Could Shedeur Sanders be in play?
Fun fact. This author has been a Cleveland Browns fan for 45 years. It has been, um… yeah. The very first year I was a fan of the team, Brian Sipe threw an interception in the end zone against the Oakland Raiders in the divisional round of the playoffs ('Red Right 88'). I screamed at the TV while John Elway took the Denver Broncos right down the field to tie the 1986 AFC Championship Game ('The Drive'). Stared in horror as Ernest Byner fumbled away a trip to Super Bowl XXII the following year ('The Fumble'). Gawked in disbelief when it was announced in 1995 that the team was moving to Baltimore. Hurled obscenities when the team made the single-worst personnel decision in NFL history. Advertisement Rooting for the Browns has been four-plus decades of abject misery and soul-sucking despair. Punching myself in the face over and over again. The factory of sadness, indeed. The Cleveland Clowns. And it won't be a bit easier in 2025 — because the Browns will be terrible (again). If they aren't the worst team in the NFL, the Browns have a legitimate claim to the title of the worst team in the AFC. That's largely because of an offense that was 28th in yards per game in 2024 and dead last in the NFL in scoring. That steaming pile of an offense could potentially be even worse in 2025 (Go Browns!), and many fantasy managers are avoiding it like moviegoers avoided seeing 'Gigli.' But as 'Gigli' had a couple of funny scenes (not really, but bear with me), a question needs to be asked. Has the fantasy community been too quick to dismiss the entire team as a festering fecal fortress? Could there be a diamond or two in this turd of a team? OK, that's enough poop references, even for the Browns. So let's look at each fantasy-relevant position group in Cleveland — and see if there's anything there but dismay and anguish. ADPs (2025) and 2024 fantasy results are via FantasyPros. The quarterback position in Cleveland would be funny if it weren't so tragic. The Browns simultaneously have four (five if you count He Who Shall Not be Named) quarterbacks and no quarterbacks. The elder statesman of this funky foursome is Joe Flacco, who led the Browns to the playoffs in 2023 before playing last year in Indianapolis. Flacco is easily the most proven quarterback on the team, but he's also a 40-year-old journeyman who was QB25 in fantasy points per game in 2024. Then there's Kenny Pickett, who won a Super Bowl last year holding a clipboard in Philadelphia. Pickett made 24 starts over two years in Pittsburgh and entered the summer the favorite to start Week 1, but the former first-round pick has been nursing a hamstring injury for weeks. Advertisement Next up is rookie Dillon Gabriel, who was a surprise third-round pick by the Browns in April. Gabriel threw for almost 19,000 yards and an FBS-record 155 touchdowns over six years in college, but he's also 5-foot-11 on his tippy-toes and has a hamstring injury of his own. Finally, there's Shedeur Sanders, who was supposed to be a first-round pick until he was a fifth-round pick and Mel Kiper lost his mind on TV. Sanders looked decent in Cleveland's preseason opener, but (wait for it) he's also hurt after straining his oblique in a joint practice with the Eagles. What a Cleveland bunch. Verdict: If the Browns had half a brain, they would give both rookies extended playing time in the regular season — Cleveland needs to know if they have any kind of future at the position before a 2026 draft where they have two first-round picks. But Browns gotta Brown, so Flacco will start 10 games and win just enough to screw things up. If all four wind up starting a game in 2025, it wouldn't be surprising. Fantasy-wise, none are more than the sort of depth in 2QB and SuperFlex formats that makes you question your life choices. The Nick Chubb Era ended with a whimper last year, and with Chubb now in Houston and looking completely washed (sigh), Browns general manager Andrew Berry hit the position hard in this year's draft. In the second round, the Browns selected Quinshon Judkins, who helped lead Ohio State to a national title last season. Judkins looks the part of a three-down workhorse with a do-it-all skill-set, but in true Cleveland fashion, Judkins is both unsigned entering the second week of the preseason and facing a suspension after a domestic violence arrest. Cleveland doubled down in Round 4, selecting last year's SEC Offensive Player of the Year in Tennessee's Dylan Sampson. Sampson was wildly productive last year, averaging 5.8 yards per carry and scoring 22 rushing touchdowns. But he's an undersized back at 5-foot-8 and 200 pounds. Advertisement There's also holdover Jerome Ford, who led the team in rushing a year ago. Ford averaged 5.4 yards per carry and caught 37 passes last year, but 104 carries doesn't scream 'featured back,' and no one will confuse him with Walter Payton anytime soon. Verdict: This was supposed to be Judkins' backfield, and it may still be at some point this season. But it's anyone's guess when that will be — or even if that will be. Given that, the best-case from a fantasy perspective would be Sampson shining over the next few weeks, seizing the backfield and becoming a Day 3 revelation. But this is Cleveland, so good luck with that. The most likely scenario as things stand now is Ford opening the season as the No. 1 back, with Sampson playing a change-of-pace role. But this team has a bad offensive line that will face negative game scripts with some regularity. It's not exactly an ideal scenario. Given their respective ADPs at Fantasy Pros, Sampson (RB54) is probably the best 'value,' but no Browns backs are better than dart throws. Somewhat surprisingly, outside of the addition of veteran Diontae Johnson (No. Just No.), the Browns didn't do much to address the franchise's less-than-stellar wide receiver corps, leaving the team with just two wideouts of any potential interest to fantasy managers. There weren't many bright spots in Cleveland last year, but Jerry Jeudy was one of them. The sixth-year veteran lived up to the contract extension the Browns gave him, setting career-highs in receptions (90) and receiving yards (1,229) on the way to a WR12 PPR finish. Jeudy was sixth in the NFL in receiving yards and seventh in targets with 145. Third-year pro Cedric Tillman didn't have nearly those numbers (a 29/339/3 stat line in 11 games), but the 25-year-old had a moment in the sun. Over a four-game stretch from Week 7 to Week 11 last year, Tillman caught 24 passes for 302 yards and three scores — good for WR8 in PPR points per game over that span. Advertisement Verdict: If there is fantasy value to be had in Cleveland this year, it lies with the wide receivers, provided the team gets marginally competent quarterback play. It's not like the play under center was stellar last year, and that didn't stop Jeudy from having the best season of his NFL career. The 26-year-old's WR33 ADP has crept up since earlier in the summer, but that asking price is closer to Jeudy's floor than his ceiling. The target share should be there for a team playing from behind quite a bit. Tillman's 2025 prospects are cloudier, partly because of durability issues and partly because he's a downfield threat on a team with major questions at quarterback. But that red-hot month has more than a little appeal, especially given Tillman's WR69 ADP means he's essentially free. The fantasy king in Cleveland (at least in terms of positional finish) in 2024 was David Njoku, who turned 64 catches for 505 yards and 5 touchdowns into a TE11 PPR fantasy finish and TE4 finish in PPR points per game. Njoku missed half a dozen games last season, but he was on pace for 150 targets — a number that would have trailed only Las Vegas' Brock Bowers. The Browns also added a tight end in the 2025 draft, selecting Bowling Green's Harold Fannin Jr. in Round 3. The 6-foot-3, 241-pounder is a prototypical size-speed field-stretcher, and while he's raw, Fannin piled up the stats a season ago — 117 receptions, 1,555 yards and 10 scores. The question now is whether he can do that against a slightly higher level of competition. Verdict: Njoku's ADP of TE9 seems about right — the durability and quarterback concerns are genuine enough to knock the 29-year-old into the second tier at his position, but Njoku could be among the most-targeted tight ends in the league on a weekly basis and has legitimate top-five fantasy upside. Fannin is much more of a wild card. Given Cleveland's lack of talent out wide, it's not hard to envision a scenario where Kevin Stefanski trots out a lot of 12-personnel sets. Of course, that depends on how quickly Fannin acclimates to the NFL — there is no shortage of big, fast tight ends who never made a dent at the game's highest level. Now, if you'll excuse me, after 1,500 words on the Browns, this guy needs a shower. Gary Davenport is a two-time Fantasy Sports Writers Association Football Writer of the Year.
