Kevin Clark had me on The Ringer NFL Show to talk about Football Outsiders Almanac 2020. We talked about season predictions, the most surprising things I learned preparing the book, and a little bit about what analytics means for the NFL labor market.

Going a little more team-specific and a little further with some of the numbers Bryan Knowles broke down in this week's Offensive Personnel Analysis article.

Football Outsiders has partnered with United Way so a portion of the proceeds from every copy of Football Outsiders Almanac 2020 will go to benefit United Way Worldwide's COVID-19 Community Response and Recovery Fund. (Click to learn more.)

I made an appearance on this morning's edition of Good Morning Football to talk about the all-new FO Almanac 2020 and offer some season predictions. We also discussed how the pandemic affects projecting teams for this season.

Did we say that the NFL was going to cancel half the preseason in 2020? We meant the entire preseason. The NFLPA has informed its members there will be no preseason this year to help try to prevent the spread of COVID-19. More details to come, I'm sure.

Let's talk about fantasy football on this week's Off The Charts Podcast, featuring FO fantasy analyst Scott Spratt. We talk about how COVID-19 is going to change fantasy football and introduce the new upgraded KUBIAK fantasy projection system, then discuss some of the players KUBIAK likes better (Dak Prescott, Joe Mixon) and worse (Ryan Tannehill, Rob Gronkowski) than ADP (average draft position).

Certainly, this time signing a running back to a big-money second contract will work, right? Actually, this contract may not be that bad. Henry becomes fifth at the position in average annual salary, not first.

It's time for some of those men on the franchise tag to sign last-minute long-term contracts, and we'll start with Kansas City's great defensive tackle Chris Jones. Jones has agreed to a four-year, $80-million contract that includes $37 million at signing and $60 million guaranteed for injury.
