Ravens Getting More Comfortable Using Keaton Mitchell

Baltimore Ravens offensive coordinator Todd Monken said that the team is getting more comfortable with rookie running back Keaton Mitchell in different personal groupings.

Browns Unsure Of Dorian Thompson-Robinson's Week 13 Status

Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson (concussion) left Sunday's 29-12 loss to the Denver Broncos on Sunday late in the second half with a concussion, but the Browns aren't making any firm plans on who will start at QB if he cannot play in Week 13 against the Los Angeles Rams. P.J. Walker replaced DTR […]

Jason Heyward Close To Re-Signing With Dodgers

Free-agent outfielder Jason Heyward is nearing a one-year deal on Monday to re-sign with the Los Angeles Dodgers, according to a source. It makes sense for both sides, as Heyward had a resurgence in 2023 in LA, slashing .269/.340/.473 with an .813 OPS, 15 home runs, 23 doubles, 40 RBI, two stolen bases and 56 […]

Tutu Atwell Leads Rams In Receiving In Blowout Win

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Tutu Atwell surprisingly led the team in receiving yards (76) while catching all three of his targets in the 37-14 blowout win over the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday.

D'Ernest Johnson Appears To Have Taken Over No. 2 Role

After seeing a season-high eight touches in last week's win over the Tennessee Titans, Jacksonville Jaguars running back D'Ernest Johnson saw another eight touches in Week 12's 24-21 win over the Houston Texans on Sunday.

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce caught four of his six targets for 27 yards in Week 12's 27-20 win over the visiting Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday.

Broncos Defense Stays Hot, Records Another Three Turnovers

The Denver Broncos defense during their now five-game winning streak has almost been a night and day difference from the version they were earlier in the year when they allowed a record-breaking 70 points to the Dolphins in Week 3. They held the Cleveland Browns offense to just 12 points in Week 12's 29-12 win […]

Wil Lutz Stays Relevant In Week 12 Win

Despite the tough matchup in Week 12 against the Cleveland Browns, Denver Broncos kicker Wil Lutz rewarded fantasy managers by making both of his field-goal attempts (long of 34 yards) and all three of his extra-point tries in the team's 29-12 win on Sunday in Denver. Lutz wasn't as busy with field-goal opportunities as he […]

Adam Trautman Scores For Second Time This Year

Denver Broncos tight end Adam Trautman had a highlight-reel sliding touchdown catch on his only reception of the game in the team's 29-12 win over the Cleveland Browns on Sunday in Week 12.

Jerry Jeudy Barely Heard From In Week 12 Victory

Denver Broncos wide receiver Jerry Jeudy continued his frustrating 2023 campaign in the Week 12 win over the visiting Cleveland Browns on Sunday by the score of 29-12, catching two of his three targets for a season-low 11 yards.
