Lourdes Gurriel Jr. Not On Wild-Card Roster

The Toronto Blue Jays left outfielder Lourdes Gurriel Jr. (hamstring) off their roster for the Wild-Card Series against the Seattle Mariners this weekend.

Daniel Jones Will Play Against Packers

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones (ankle) was taken off the final injury report on Friday and will play on Sunday in London against the Green Bay Packers in Week 5. Most of Jones' QB2 value in fantasy comes from his rushing ability -- he scored two touchdowns with his legs in the Week 4 […]

Broncos Defense Does All It Can Against Colts

The Denver Broncos defense did its job in the Week 5 loss to the Indianapolis Colts on Thursday night.

Denver Broncos wide receiver Jerry Jeudy was second on the team in receiving in Thursday night's 12-9 overtime loss to the Indianapolis Colts, but he had just three catches on eight targets for a pedestrian 53 yards.
