I declare Saturday a day of rest (for NFL fans). It’s time to gather your thoughts and emotions after the thrill of Thursday and Friday night games, and get ready for the slate coming up on Sunday and Monday.
We are back, guys, and it feels great.
If you are new to this column, I’m Dianna Russini, The Athletic’s Senior NFL Insider, and I admit: My cell phone (usually on low battery) is my best friend. Over the next few months, I will be sharing news and notes from around the NFL to keep you informed about what people in league circles are discussing, why teams are making the decisions they make, and maybe accidentally provide you with some helpful fantasy football tips along the way.
