Umpires Strike Back, Continues War Against Brett Gardner

After being tossed on Aug. 9 (along with manager Aaron Boone) in a case of mistaken identity for the actions of New York Yankees outfielder Cameron Maybin, outfielder Brett Gardner was again ejected in Saturday's game against Cleveland. First, it was Boone who got the hook for arguing balls and strikes. It was then Gardner's time, […]

Cole Beasley Has Budding Bromance With Josh Allen

Signed as a free agent this past offseason, former Cowboy Cole Beasley is becoming one of QB Josh Allen's favorite targets, with Beasley catching all five of his targets for 44 yards in a game that Buffalo would eventually win 27-14.

Devin Singletary Disappoints in Preseason Win

A popular sleeper pick so far in 2019, Buffalo rookie Devin Singletary couldn't build on his success from the Bills' first preseason game, as Buffalo defeated Carolina 27-14 in Friday night's preseason action.

Bills Offensive Line Remains Top Concern of Preseason

Entering their second preseason game against Carolina on Friday night, Buffalo Bills offensive coordinator Brian Daboll is still experimenting with different groupings of offensive linemen and would not commit to naming a starting five yet, saying only that it was narrowed down to around seven players. With potential breakout running back Devin Singletary, an ancient […]

Cole Beasley Could Be Josh Allen's Best Friend

An afterthought in the fantasy community, former Cowboy Cole Beasley could be in for a productive role, given his pairing with second-year quarterback Josh Allen. Besides Zay Jones, Allen will have burners John Brown and Robert Foster on the outside, leaving Beasley as his metaphorical security blanket on the underneath. Last year, Allen had a […]

Devin Singletary Looks to Impress Again

Devin Singletary is not a household name - not that any Bill ever could be - but Buffalo's third-round pick has all the makings of a fantasy breakout heading into 2019 and had a good first preseason performance, carrying the ball nine times for 27 yards against the Colts last week. Singletary is currently behind […]

Josh Allen Impresses in Practices With Carolina

Second-year quarterback Josh Allen earned high marks for his performance for Buffalo during the team's two joint practices with the Carolina Panthers this week, showing calm in the pocket while making sharp underneath throws, and not trying to force anything dangerous down the field.

Ronald Acuna continued to do Ronald Acuna things, hitting his 34th home run on Tuesday night in a victory over the red-hot Mets, while also gunning down Todd Frazier at home with a one-hop laser.

Justin Turner Hits Third Home Run in Two Game

After starting slowly in August, Los Angeles third baseman Justin Turner has broken out of his funk, homering off of Wei-Yin Chen in the seventh inning of the Dodger's 15-1 victory over the Miami Marlins on Tuesday.

Notoriously streaky hitter Randall Grichuk may be smack-dab in the middle of one of those streaks, giving the Blue Jays a 1-0 lead in the second inning of Tuesday night's game against Texas, with a 414-foot blast off of starter Lance Lynn.

Rugby Star Christian Wade Looks For Roster Spot

Former British rugby player Christian Wade started his quest to make the Buffalo roster in the best possible way, with a 65-yard touchdown run on his first-ever touch, when Buffalo defeated the Colts last week in preseason play.

Randal Grichuk Continues Power Surge

Brandon Drury Hits First Career Grand Slam

Toronto infielder Brandon Drury did his part on Monday night, hitting the first grand slam of his career off of Texas reliever Adrian Sampson in the fourth inning of an eventual 16-4 Blue Jay victory.
