Michael Gallup Has Two Preseason Catches So Far

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Michael Gallup has made two catches so far in the preseason, gaining 19 yards. Gallup had an overall solid rookie season, although he was a bit inconsistent. He looked much more valuable on the actual field than on a fantasy team, but he should have some use in deeper formats this […]

Ezekiel Elliott About 50-50 for Week 1

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott, currently holding out for a better contract, is "a coin flip" to play in Week 1, according to former Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo. Elliott is reportedly in "the best shape of his life" and weighs 220 pounds, his lowest weight since his rookie season. Elliott's holdout was not taken […]

Closers and Saves Report - Week 20 Waiver Wire

It wasn't a huge week in terms of bullpen news, which was actually kind of nice after two weeks of shuffling and hustling throughout Major League Baseball's bullpens. There were some smaller things that happened this week though, that could lead to bigger news down the road. Some trade deadline acquisitions don't look like they're […]

Michael Wacha Throws Five Decent Innings on Thursday

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Michael Wacha was okay on Thursday, throwing five innings but taking a loss. He allowed two runs on five hits and two walks.

Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Adam Plutko pitched well on Thursday, earning a win and a quality start. He went six innings, allowing three runs on six hits and a walk.

Miles Sanders Gets Five Carries on Thursday

Philadelphia Eagles rookie running back Miles Sanders ran the ball five times on Thursday, gaining 31 yards.

Jordan Howard is still around and Corey Clement will likely work most […]

Boston Scott Leads the Eagles Backfield on Thursday

Philadelphia Eagles running back Boston Scott led the backfield in carries, yards, and touchdowns on Thursday. He ran the ball seven times, gaining 43 yards and scoring a touchdown. Scott is a possibility for the last running back spot in Philly, but he still has a few weeks to prove that he deserves a 53-man […]

Cody Kessler Suffers a Concussion on Thursday Night

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Cody Kessler suffered a concussion on Thursday night. He attempted four passes before being forced to leave the game, completing one for 11 yards.

Amari Cooper Dealing With a Plantar Fascia Issue

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Amari Cooper has been dealing with a plantar fascia problem. Cooper was reported with a heel problem, but it looks like it was the plantar fascia irritation all along. He's missed a week of practice already, but the team does not seem concerned about his Week 1 availability. The Cowboys should […]

Franmil Reyes Hits His First Home Run in Cleveland

Cleveland Indians outfielder/designated hitter Franmil Reyes hit his first home run as a member of the Cleveland lineup, going 2-for-4 with two RBI and two runs scored.

Dallas Cowboys rookie running back Tony Pollard is capable of "carrying the load" according to Cowboys owner/general manager Jerry Jones. Pollard was drafted in the fourth round and has been working as the lead back in practices while starter Ezekiel Elliott holds out for a new contract. Pollard only played the first series in Saturday's […]

Dallas Goedert to Miss Time With a Calf Injury

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert injured his calf and is considered week-to-week. Goedert will miss a preseason game or two, but he isn't expected to miss any regular season time and should be good to go for Week 1. The Eagles could be one of the rare NFL teams with two tight ends who […]

Dallas Cowboys tight end Blake Jarwin performed well on Saturday, catching four passes for 51 scoreless yards.

Devin Smith Leads the Cowboys in Receiving on Saturday

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Devin Smith led the team in receiving yards on Saturday, catching three passes for 54 yards. Smith, a 2015 second round pick of the Jets, is deeply buried on the Dallas depth chart but has shown the occasional explosiveness that could make him an intriguing wait-and-see piece if he makes the […]

Mike Weber Gets Six Carries on Saturday Night

Dallas Cowboys rookie running back Mike Weber led the Cowboys backfield in carries on Saturday with six. He gained 18 yards and "added" two catches for a loss of five yards. In a backfield without Ezekiel Elliott (holdout), Weber wasn't featured but did get the most touches. It'll be interesting to follow the Cowboys backfield […]

Cooper Rush Looks Solid on Saturday

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Cooper Rush played most of Saturday's first preseason game and looked solid enough in the process. He completed 16-of-26 passes for 142 scoreless yards. Rush is set to be the direct backup to starter Dak Prescott but shouldn't have to do much more than hold a clipboard unless something goes wrong.

Dak Prescott Completes All Four of His Passes on Saturday

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott completed all four of his pass attempts on Saturday night, gaining 23 yards. Prescott wasn't in there for long, but 4-for-4 is certainly an encouraging first start.
