    WHAT'S BREWING TODAY

    On Today's Scorecard
    Play It Again, Sam
    As we continue on with our NFL training camp road this week we up the NFC South today, where NFL Nation stunningly predicts Baker Mayfield won't be the starting quarterback for the Panthers, at least initially.

    This might come as a shock to the 91.6% informal Twitter poll who predicted Mayfield would be the Week 1 starter. But Sam Darnold has an entire offseason learning Ben McAdoo's system and the terminology to his advantage.

    Darnold is also healthy while Mayfield is about six months removed from surgery to repair a torn labrum in his left (non-throwing) shoulder. He's on track to a full recovery, but that's still an obstacle to overcome.

    In addition, Darnold has nothing to lose for the first time in his NFL career, so he has less pressure than the top pick of the 2018 draft.

    Cheat Sheet
    ESPN's Fantasy Football experts recently completed their mock draft for the 2022 NFL season. Here are the Top 10 selections:

    1. Jonathan Taylor, Ind (RB1)
    2. Christian McCaffrey, Car (RB2)
    3. Auston Ekeler, LAC (RB3)
    4. Derrick Henry, Ten (RB4)
    5. Cooper Kupp, LAR (WR1)
    6. Justin Jefferson, Min (WR2)
    7. Najee Harris, Pit (RB5)
    8. Dalvin Cook, Min (RB6)
    9. Ja'Marr Chase, Cin (WR3)
    10. Stefon Diggs, Buf (WR4)

    My first question is: where's Nick Chubb? With Deshaun Watson likely gone for an extended period of time, one would think the Browns will accentuate the running game as much as ever this season.

    FYI: the first quarterback selected was Josh Allenfrom Buffalo – in the 5th round.

    Moon Over Miami
    When Tampa Bay mauled Miami, 45-17, at home during the regular season last year, it proved to be the Dolphins worst defeat all-time in the series.

    With the visiting team 11-1 ATS in this preseason series, and the Fish 5-0 ATS in exhibition game against NFC South foes, look for the Bucs to fall to 1-8 in preseason openers this evening.
