Falcons owner Arthur Blank envisions one international game per team, per year
Every team would participate in an international game annually.
During a recent NFL Network appearance, Blank expressed that an “international game every year for every team” is “probably on the horizon.”
This proposal makes sense. While certain teams may generate less excitement than others, having each team participate annually promotes fairness across the league.
Currently, the league operates under a Collective Bargaining Agreement that limits the number of international games to a maximum of 10 per year. However, changes in the next labor deal could see this number rise to 16.
Along with this increase, an international broadcasting package featuring primarily European games is expected, with kickoff times set for 9:30 a.m. ET.
Most Overvalued and Undervalued Players in 2025 Fantasy Football Entering August
Undervalued WR: Xavier Worthy, Kansas City Chiefs
ADP: WR25, 54th Overall
Xavier Worthy’s days of being a hidden gem might end soon; with Rashee Rice facing suspension due to a street-racing incident, Worthy’s value is already on the rise.
Currently, he's available in high-end fantasy WR3 territory. According to Mike Fanelli of Fantasy Pros, this ADP signals immense potential.
“Worthy had a solid rookie year, finishing as the WR33 and averaging 11 PPR fantasy points per game. However, after Rashee Rice's season-ending injury, he truly shined. Notably, he finished the fantasy playoffs as the WR10, boasting ten targets and averaging 21 points per game," Fanelli notes.
Moreover, during the Super Bowl, Worthy demonstrated his skills with two touchdowns, achieving 35.7 fantasy points. His remarkable performance, ranking him as the 15th out of 88 wide receivers in fantasy points per route, positions him well for upcoming seasons."
While it may be too ambitious to expect him to replicate his Super Bowl stats weekly, the potential for Worthy to emerge as Kansas City’s leading wideout remains strong.
