Donovan Mitchell Continues Disturbing Early Season Trend

Utah Jazz guard Donovan Mitchell led his team with 24 points and a 10-for-10 performance from the free-throw line on Friday night.

Tyler Eifert Should Remain Out Of Lineups

Cincinnati Bengals tight end Tyler Eifert has yet to impress in 2018, with that trend expected to continue on Sunday against the Rams.

Buccaneers Defense Could Get Jason Pierre-Paul Back

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians said that outside linebacker Jason Pierre-Paul (neck) has a chance to make his season debut against the Titans in Week 8.

Matt Breida Must Reassert Himself

Tevin Coleman Needs To Improve Efficiency

San Francisco 49ers running back Tevin Coleman has distanced himself as the lead back since returning from a high ankle sprain.

While […]

Like his offensive teammates, San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle had a forgettable Week 7 in a slop fest against the Washington Redskins.

The visiting Panthers boast a promising 4-2 record […]

Saints Defense A Great Option In Week 8

The New Orleans Saints Defense will face rookie quarterback Kyler Murray and the Arizona Cardinals in Week 8.
