Corey Davis Says He's Fine

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Corey Davis (hamstring) said he's fine heading into Week 2 against the Texans. Davis should be fine to play this Sunday against Houston.

Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Doug Marrone thinks the team should have gotten running back Corey Grant more involved in the Week 1 win over the Giants. “I think if we knew that early in the week [we'd be without Fournette], during the course of the game I think that’s a little bit different scenario for […]

Leonard Fournette Not Expected To Practice

Odrisamer Despaigne Starting Thursday

Los Angeles Angels pitcher Odrisamer Despaigne will start on Thursday against the Mariners. Despaigne isn't worth your time in fantasy as a streamer.

It's been recommended that Baltimore Orioles outfield prospect Austin Hays (ankle), the team's No. 4 prospect, undergo surgery to fix a stress fracture in his ankle after seeing a specialist on Wednesday.
