Philip Rivers Poised For Huge Week

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers showed he's beck in regular-season form with a strong Week 1 against the Chiefs, and now he's licking his chops for his Week 2 matchup. Rivers will be squaring off in Buffalo against a Bills team that got routed in their season opener and gave up a whopping 47 […]

Whit Merrifield Sets Career High In Stolen Bases

Kansas City Royals utility man Whit Merrifield stole a pair of bases on Wednesday to set a new career high in steals with 35. Merrifield leads the American League in stolen bases, and the 29-year-old is once again the most valuable fantasy player on a bad Royals team. Merrifield's power dropped a bit in 2018 […]

Alex Gordon Keeps Running

Kansas City Royals outfielder Alex Gordon has had another forgettable season overall, but he's trying to salvage it right at the end. Though Gordon is hitting just .239 on the year with 11 home runs, he's apparently decided that he's going to at least bring a little speed to the table to finish it out. […]

Adalberto Mondesi Carries Royals Offense

Kansas City Royals middle infielder Adalberto Mondesi did all the heavy lifting to get the team to extra innings on Wednesday, but it wasn't enough to push through to the win. Mondesi went 4-for-5 while driving in both of the team's runs, and he even stole a base. Mondesi has proven to be better than […]

Scott Oberg Keeps Perfect ERA In September

Colorado Rockies relief pitcher Scott Oberg continued his flawless September on Wednesday by tossing two scoreless innings against the Diamondbacks. Oberg upped his September total to 7 2/3 innings pitched, and he's recorded a stellar 10/1 K/BB ratio over that time. He's also yet to give up a hit for the month. Oberg isn't going […]

Wade Davis Vultures Win On Wednesday

Colorado Rockies closer Wade Davis lucked into a win on Wednesday night when teammate DJ LeMahieu blasted a two-run walk-off home run in the bottom of the ninth inning. Davis has had a tumultuous season that has featured a whopping 39 saves while also developing a 4.55 ERA, but he's been quite solid for the […]

Nolan Arenado Drills 33rd Homer

Colorado Rockies third baseman Nolan Arenado has fallen a bit out of the spotlight recently as shortstop Trevor Story has burst onto the national scene, but Arenado has still been the backbone of the team's offense. Arenado went 3-for-4 on Wednesday night and hit his 33rd home run of the season. Arenado's bomb gave him […]

Jon Gray Hit Hard By Diamondbacks

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Jon Gray took a no-decision against Arizona on Wednesday, but that's only because his offense bailed him out. Gray allowed four earned runs in four innings of work, continuing a poor couple of weeks for him. Since August 27, Gray has only recorded one quality start in his last four outings, […]

Rashaad Penny Quiet In Debut

Seattle Seahawks rookie running back Rashaad Penny got just as many carries on Sunday as starter Chris Carson, but the two had very different days. While Carson averaged over seven YPC, Penny totaled just eight yards and looked overmatched. Penny was the team's first-round draft pick and is thus considered to be the starter-in-waiting, but […]

Will Dissly Has Huge Week 1

Seattle Seahawks rookie tight end Will Dissly was supposed to mostly be a blocking tight end, but he led the team in receiving yards in his very first pro game. Dissly did most of his damage on a massive 66-yard catch-and-run that led to a Seattle field goal, and he also grabbed a 15-yarder for […]

Brandon Marshall Leads Seahawks In Targets

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Brandon Marshall was thought to be over the hill by the majority of the NFL, but it looks like Seattle intends on getting plenty of mileage out of the 34-year-old. Marshall led the team in targets in Week 1 with six, and his three catches included a critical touchdown grab on […]

Earl Thomas Possibly Open To Staying In Seattle

Seattle Seahawks free safety Earl Thomas played in Seattle's Week 1 game against Denver after ending his lengthy holdout days earlier, and he made his presence felt by snagging an interception in the game. After the game, Thomas unsurprisingly told reporters that he had come back because he and his agent realized the money that […]

Bradley McDougald Headlines Strong Defensive Effort

Seattle Seahawks safety Bradley McDougald was the star on defense against the Denver Broncos in Week 1. McDougald snagged a pair of picks in the game, and returned one of those 39 yards to help set up a critical Seahawks touchdown. McDougald has solidified his spot as the team’s starting strong safety, and he’ll be […]

Russell Wilson A Mixed Bag In Week 1

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson had an up-and-down game against Denver in Week 1. The good news is that he threw for 298 yards, three touchdowns, and finished the day with a 92.7 quarterback rating. The bad news is that he also threw two ugly picks and was sacked six times. Wilson should be one […]

Chris Carson Shows Off His Ups

Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson led the way on the ground against the Broncos on Sunday, and his performance included a highlight-reel run and lowlight-reel fumble. Carson averaged more than seven yards per carry, but the coaching staff limited him to just seven carries on the day for unknown reasons. His hurdle of Brandon […]

Doug Baldwin Out For Rest Of Week 1

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Doug Baldwin has been ruled out for the rest of the team's Week 1 game with the Broncos after hurting his right knee. This is not the same knee Baldwin had trouble with in the preseason, so hopes are high for next week, but for now, Seattle will have to roll […]

Ryan O'Hearn Triples, Carries KC Offense

Kansas City Royals first baseman Ryan O'Hearn was the only one to find a weakness in Corey Kluber's performance on Wednesday as O'Hearn's triple was one of just two hits allowed by the Cy Young winner. Both the team's hits came in the fourth inning when Kluber apparently became human for a few minutes and […]

Brad Keller Loses In Pitcher's Duel

Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Brad Keller took on one of the best on Wednesday as he battled it out against Cleveland's Corey Kluber. In the long run, Kluber won the duel, but Keller held his own quite well. Keller finished seven innings while only allowing one earned run, but a pair of unearned ones […]

DJ LeMahieu Scores For Fifth Straight Game

Colorado Rockies second baseman DJ LeMahieu smacked a pair of hits on Wednesday and scored the team's first run of the game to help push the Rockies to the sweep of San Francisco. LeMahieu tripled in the first inning and scored on a Nolan Arenado sacrifice fly to get the team on the board, and […]

Adam Ottavino Finishes Off The Giants

Colorado Rockies relief pitcher Adam Ottavino got the ninth-inning call on Wednesday after normal closer Wade Davis had pitched on back-to-back days, and Ottavino took care of business. It was Ottavino's fifth straight scoreless outing, and he nailed down his sixth save of the year. Ottavino's ranged from unhittable to unownable this season, but his […]

Antonio Senzatela Takes No-Decision Against SF

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Antonio Senzatela was granted a no-decision on Wednesday after his offense bailed him out. Senzatela didn't have a terrible start as he allowed three earned runs in five innings of work, but he was fortunate to escape with that line since he allowed a whopping nine hits and walked a pair […]

Trevor Story Demolishes Baseballs

Colorado Rockies shortstop Trevor Story was the man of the night on Wednesday as he drilled three home runs to lead the team over the Giants. Story's three solo blasts included the longest home run ever hit by a Colorado player at 505 feet, and was anecdotally remembered as the only home run to ever […]

Detrez Newsome Leads The Way Against Seattle

Los Angeles Chargers running back Detrez Newsome knew he'd be the man coming into the game against Seattle, and he took advantage of the opportunity. Newsome was one of just two running backs who were active for the game, and the other was starter Melvin Gordon, so he was pretty much guaranteed the bulk of […]

Philip Rivers Looks Ready For The Regular Season

Los Angeles Chargers starting quarterback Philip Rivers hit the field for the first time in the team's second preseason game, and he looked like he's ready to rock. Rivers went 6-for-7 in his single series and looked like he had no problem manhandling the Seattle defense. Rivers has shown no signs of slowing down with […]

Melvin Ingram Forces Game-Changing Fumble

Los Angeles Chargers Pro Bowl defensive end Melvin Ingram is picking up right where he left off. With the score 13-7 in the second quarter and Seattle on the Chargers' one yard line, Ingram drilled Seattle running back Chris Carson. The huge hit dislodged the ball, and it was recovered in the end zone by […]

Geno Smith Widens The Gap For Backup Job

Last week, Los Angeles Chargers backup quarterback Geno Smith took advantage of the team's first preseason game to establish that he was more polished than competitor Cardale Jones. In Week 2 of the preseason, Smith widened that gap. Smith went 6-for-8 for 85 yards including a beautiful jump-ball touchdown to wide receiver Mike Williams while […]

Mike Williams Makes Incredible Catch

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams was the talk of the town after a phenomenal catch he made in the team's preseason game with the Seattle Seahawks this weekend. Williams went sky-high to snag a touchdown ball in the third quarter in a catch that quickly went viral and started drawing Randy Moss comparisons. […]

Jon Ryan Leaving Seattle

Seattle Seahawks punter Jon Ryan is officially calling it quits with the Seahawks following the team's second preseason game. The team reached in the draft by taking Michael Dickson in the fifth round, so Ryan was a likely cap casualty anyway, but Dickson has also clearly outplayed Ryan this preseason by punting the ball further […]

Rasheem Green Looks Like He'll Be A Star

Seattle Seahawks rookie defensive lineman Rasheem Green racked up another 1.5 sacks against the Chargers, giving him three in two games. The third-round pick has shown impressive skill up front, and he once again showed that he can be effective against both the run and the pass. Green is being molded to take Michael Bennett's […]

David Moore Makes Spectacular Grab

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver David Moore is one of a handful of guys battling to snag one of Seattle's final two receiver spots, and he laid down quite an audition on Saturday night. Moore made a fantastic catch on a 52-yard bomb by Wilson in double coverage, and then he immediately followed it up with […]
