Top 10 WRs in Madden NFL 23:
Davante Adams: 99
Cooper Kupp: 98
Tyreek Hill: 97
DeAndre Hopkins: 96
Stefon Diggs: 95
Justin Jefferson: 93
Mike Evans: 92
Terry McLaurin: 91
Keenan Allen: 91
Amari Cooper: 90— Ari Meirov (@MySportsUpdate) July 18, 2022
I’d for sure put Ja’Marr Chase ahead of Terry (he’s a top-5 NFL receiver already, no disrespect, he’s just an unbelievable talent).
And I’d have Deebo, DK, and CeeDee all very close to #17 in pretty much any order.

Per the NFL, 81% of teams are staying at their home facility for training camp this year. (20 years ago, was 31%).
With the NFL allowing reduced fan access at home sites, can’t imagine that changing anytime soon.

Most team facilities can only accommodate a small number of fans, unlike remote sites which often have bleachers/parking/etc.
The trend is for teams to offer one “open” practice at the stadium and do the rest by lottery for season ticket holders.

Those both sound like best-case scenarios. I’d love it to be true, but this team usually doesn’t have that kind of luck.
If Logan Thomas is ready for week 1 we should consider the possibility that he’s Wolverine.

NFL exec Brian Rolapp on Sunday Ticket, “we believe it can be a lot better and we are planning a new rollout of NFL Sunday Ticket for the 2023 season. While we are not ready to reveal that just yet, one thing we can say is it will be more innovative, accessible and digital.”

Boras speaking to reporters “The negotiations between Juan Soto and the Nationals should be private.”
Let’s go through that a bit slower.

Wearing a Nationals uniform, Juan Soto has won a World Series, won a batting title (in an abbreviated season) and now won a Home Run Derby. He’s 23 years old.

Bottom line for me. I want Juan Soto, who will go down as one of the greatest hitters of all time barring injury, on my team for his whole career. I want a curly W on his hat in the hof. Everyone says DC doesn’t have a baseball culture. Well Soto is how you build one. Long term.
