Kyle Rudolph Quiet In Defeat

Minnesota Vikings tight end Kyle Rudolph had a tough ending to his season as he caught just two of three targets for four yards in the 27-10 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. Rudolph's low volume was a product of the Vikings' inability to get anything going all day as the 49ers Defense held Kirk […]

Adam Thielen Has Five Catches For 50 Yards

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen caught five of seven targets for 50 yards in a 27-10 loss to the San Francisco 49ers on Saturday. Thielen didn't appear to be slowed down by his recent injury but was unable to get much going as the 49ers Defense suffocated the Vikings offense all game long. Thielen […]

Stefon Diggs Has Productive Game

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Stefon Diggs caught two of five targets for 57 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 27-10 defeat against the San Francisco 49ers.

Dalvin Cook Gets Shut Down In Defeat

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook had nine carries for 18 yards in a 27-10 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. He added six catches on eight targets for eight yards.

Bruno Fernando To Miss Third Straight Game

Atlanta Hawks center Bruno Fernando has already been ruled out for Sunday’s contest versus the Brooklyn Nets due to personal reasons. While Fernando drew a start in eight of last nine appearances, he averaged just 13.6 minutes per contest in that span.

Emmanuel Sanders Not Needed In Niners Victory

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders cradled his two targets for 33 yards in the Divisional Round against the Minnesota Vikings.

Hassan Whiteside Sidelined For Saturday’s Contest

Portland Trail Blazers center Hassan Whiteside has been ruled out for Saturday’s game versus the Milwaukee Bucks due to an illness. Whiteside’s absence marks his fourth of the season and first since Nov. 23, as Anthony Tolliver is likely to see an extended workload with him on the sidelines.

Marcus Morris, Dennis Smith Jr. Up In The Air For Sunday

New York Knicks power forward Marcus Morris and point guard Dennis Smith Jr. have both been deemed questionable to play in Sunday’s game versus the Miami Heat.

Pascal Siakam, Marc Gasol Questionable To Play Sunday

The Toronto Raptors could be receiving some much needed reinforcements for Sunday’s contest against the San Antonio Spurs with the duo of power forward Pascal Siakam and center Marc Gasol both receiving questionable designations.

Matt Breida Mops Up Niners Victory

San Francisco 49ers running back Matt Breida amassed 17 yards on eight carries in the Divisional Round victory against the Minnesota Vikings. Breida played sparingly but was tapped to salt the game away in the fourth quarter. He lost a fumble on a fourth down conversion that ended up being inconsequential. Breida was a clear […]
