Eagles vs. Chiefs: Is it really necessary for NFL teams to win a Super Bowl?

www.dailymail.co.uk, February 7, 2023
Any player is drafted in the NFL must follow a wage scale. Simply put, the player has no ability to negotiate the value or length of their contract, so even highly drafted players can often appear as bargains given their results. Running backs, on average, are more ineffective, and their numbers will fall precipitously as they enter their late 20s. The irony of it all is that their first years in physical fitness are often the cheapest. Sanders and Pacheco are the Eagles' top rushers in Super Bowl LVIII, and both are on very cheap rookie contracts.

Aaron Rodgers undervalued?Tom Brady overrated?Fantasy football is back, but it's a whole new world

www.dailymail.co.uk, August 14, 2022
The NFL is back, and with it, the 2022 fantasy football season. For all of the rumors surrounding the demise of the running back, many of whom now post snaps in teams' continuing attempts to minimize injuries, many top fantasy players can still be found at the position. Even fantasy football novices will find value in Jonathan Taylor, who had 92 touches in the red zone in 2021, or Carolina Panthers quarterback Christian McCaffrey, who ranks among the top players in the game when healthy. Tom Brady has returned from a short absence, but that doesn't mean fantasy enthusiasts will be able to expect the same show. Nevertheless, Aaron Rogers is somehow undervalued despite winning multiple MVPs and Deebo Samuel's return to his first fantasy season in 2021.
