Jordan Matthews Invisible In Final Tune-Up

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jordan Matthews saw zero targets in limited action in Thursday’s preseason game against the Los Angeles Chargers. On his third team in three years, Matthews finishes the preseason with three catches for 45 yards. The sixth-year player is on the bubble, competing with Kendrick Bourne for the final wideout spot. […]

Jeffery Wilson Handles 21 Touches

San Francisco 49ers running back Jeffery Wilson gained 100 yards on 20 carries in Thursday’s preseason game against the Los Angeles Chargers and caught a pass for eight yards. Wilson ripped a highlight-reel, 41-yard touchdown scamper, reversing direction and racing for his fourth score of the preseason. Many Niners beat writers believe his substantial playing time […]

Trey Quinn Sits Out Preseason Finale

Washington Redskins wide receiver Trey Quinn did not play in Thursday's preseason game against the Ravens. He has been dealing with a thumb injury, and the Redskins naturally played it safe with the second-year wideout who figures to start for them in the slot. His absence, along with a handful of other presumed starters, opened […]

Keke Coutee Could Play Week 1

Houston Texans wide receiver Keke Coutee (ankle) could be ready for the Week 1 opener against the New Orleans Saints, says Houston Texans head coach Bill O'Brien. O'Brien's statement came after some earlier comments that Coutee wouldn't play against the Saints, but on Friday he said the second-year slot receiver is "trending in the right […]

Will Fuller Expected To Play Week 1

Houston Texans wide receiver Will Fuller is expected to play in Week 1, per Houston Texans head coach Bill O'Brien. Houston opens on Monday night this year against the Saints, and while New Orleans is a difficult matchup, Fuller's rapport with quarterback Deshaun Watson has been impressive in the past. A healthy Fuller would be […]

Manuel Margot Coming On Strong

San Diego Padres outfielder Manuel Margot launched a two-run homer in Thursday’s win against the San Francisco Giants. Margot was falling out of favor midway through the season but he’s turned it around, homering eight times and swiping nine bags since July. For the year he’s still slashing just .239/.315/.405 with 11 dingers and 84 […]

Joe Webb Expected To End Up On IR

Houston Texans quarterback Joe Webb (foot) will likely be placed on the Injured Reserve, ending his season before it began. Webb was expected to be the team's third quarterback and also contribute on special teams, but now it looks like Houston will stick with Deshaun Watson and A.J. McCarron at the position. This news opens […]

Hyun-Jin Ryu Destroyed By Diamondbacks On Thursday

Los Angeles Dodgers starter Hyun-Jin Ryu allowed seven runs on 10 hits across 4 2/3 innings of work during Thursday's 11-5 loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks. He struck out four batters while walking one. He has surrendered 18 runs over his past 14 2/3 innings. This poor performance is uncharacteristic for the South Korean. He […]

Justin Turner Tallies Three RBI In Loss To Diamondbacks

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner was 2-for-4 with a home run, three RBI, and a run scored during Thursday's 11-5 loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks. The 34-year-old is scorching hot to end August, batting .362 with eight HRs and 14 RBI over his last 15 games. He is slashing .295/.374/.518 on the season […]

Samaje Perine Ineffective Again On Thursday

Washington Redskins running back Samaje Perine carried the ball five times for 13 yards in Thursday's preseason finale against the Ravens. This was about on par with what he had done all preseason, except teammate Byron Marshall took advantage of his own opportunities with 45 yards on eight carries. There wasn't much in the form […]

Jurickson Profar Has Big Day At The Plate On Thursday

Oakland Athletics infielder Jurickson Profar was 3-for-4 with a home run, three RBI, and two runs scored during Thursday's 9-8 win over the Kansas City Royals. The 26-year-old has been playing slightly better as of late, batting .270 over his past 15 games. Nevertheless, he is slashing .214/.292/.405 on the season to go along with […]

Terrelle Pryor Released

The Jacksonville Jaguars have released wide receiver Terrelle Pryor. Limited to just one preseason game because of a hamstring injury, Pryor's upside as a big target in the red zone wasn't able to outweigh the negatives. This should open a spot for Tre McBride to make the final roster, as Marqise Lee's slow recovery from […]

Kris Bryant Gets Friday Off

Chicago Cubs third baseman/outfielder Kris Bryant will receive a day off on Friday versus the Brewers. Bryant is hitting just .217 over his last 46 at-bats and the hope is that a day of rest will get him back on track. The former National League MVP is hitting .282 with 26 home runs and 64 […]

Chris Paddack Brings Back The Swagger

San Diego Padres starter Chris Paddack fired seven innings of one-run ball in Thursday’s victory against the San Francisco Giants. Paddack has been abysmal since the All Star break but showed his early season-dominance in this one, fanning eight while allowing five knocks and zero walks. The 23-year-old lowers his rookie season line to a […]

Byron Marshall Has Best Preseason Game

Washington Redskins running back Byron Marshall carried the ball eight times for 45 yards on Thursday night against the Ravens. He averaged 5.6 yards per carry with a long rush of 16 yards.

Zay Jones Potentially On Trade Block

Buffalo Bills third-year wide receiver Zay Jones has been the focus of a great deal of attention this offseason.

Rodney Anderson Injures Knee In Preseason Finale

Cincinnati Bengals running back Rodney Anderson played during the preseason finale against the Colts, but he injured his right knee early on, causing him to miss most of the game. Anderson's injury means that Giovani Bernard has further solidified his role as Joe Mixon’s handcuff while also offering some standalone value in deeper leagues. With […]

Kelvin Harmon Finishes August On Low Note

Washington Redskins wide receiver Kelvin Harmon wasn't heavily featured throughout the preseason. He saw just eight targets in Washington's first three games despite teammates like Josh Doctson and Trey Quinn not factoring much into those contests. On Thursday night, he was targeted once on a catch that resulted in negative yardage. The door was presumably […]

Daniel Carlson Hits Three Field Goals To Cap Strong Preseason

Oakland Raiders kicker Daniel Carlson made good on three of his four field goal attempts in Thursday's preseason finale against the Seahawks. He hit a 43-yarder to cap the team's opening drive, but nailed the upright in his second attempt of the game from 42 yards out. The game was played under rainfall, so field […]

Dwayne Haskins Ends Preseason With A Touchdown

Washington Redskins quarterback Dwayne Haskins threw the team's only touchdown in Thursday's preseason finale, a seven-yard pass to Steven Sims Jr. in the first quarter. Haskins finished his evening with 10 completions on 17 attempts for 104 yards. Haskins rebounded nicely after a preseason opener in which he was picked off twice, throwing two touchdowns […]

Keelan Doss Leads Raiders Receivers In Preseason Finale

Oakland Raiders wide receiver Keelan Doss made his final case for a roster spot in Thursday's preseason finale versus the Seahawks. He hauled in six of his 12 targets for a team-high 63 yards leaving a strong final impression on the coaching staff. The undrafted rookie has played well in all four preseason games with […]

Wilmer Flores Continues Hot Streak

Arizona Diamondbacks second baseman Wilmer Flores continued what has been a red-hot streak as of late on Thursday night, as he went 3-for-5 at the plate with two doubles, three RBI and two runs scored against the Dodgers. Despite splitting time as a starter and a replacement off the bench, Flores is hitting .563 over […]

Stop That Hype Train! Keke Coutee

The Houston Texans went 11-5 in 2018 en route to winning to the AFC South Division crown. They were able to do this in large part thanks to a relatively balanced offense that finished 15th in the league overall with 5,802 total yards. The passing game accounted for 3,781 yards, which was approximately 65% of […]
