Enough Already: Third-Year NBA Players To Give Up On

Promise. It's become a bad word in sports at this point, because we so often use it to justify why we're still holding out hope for certain players who just haven't put it all together yet. At some point, you have to admit that promise isn't going to be fulfilled. A player's third season is […]

Kenny Golladay Racks Up 121 Yards In Loss

Detroit Lions wide receiver Kenny Golladay pulled in five catches (nine targets) for 121 yards in the loss to the Packers on Monday night.

Kerryon Johnson Goes For A Touchdown

Detroit Lions running back Kerryon Johnson rushed for 34 yards and a touchdown on 13 attempts in the loss to the Packers on Monday. After accumulating at least 20 carries throughout his last two games, Johnson took a step in the wrong direction, and had he not scored, this performance would have been considered another […]

Matthew Stafford Goes Without A Touchdown

Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford finished with 265 yards on 18-for-32 passing in the loss to the Packers on Monday.

With Week 6 in […]

Green Bay Packers tight end Jimmy Graham pulled in just two of his five targets for 17 yards during the Monday night win over the Lions.

Geronimo Allison Exits In Week 6

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Geronimo Allison (concussion, chest) hauled in three catches (seven targets) for 40 yards in the win over the Lions on Monday night. After leading the way in looks from quarterback Aaron Rodgers, the 25-year-old would exit the game prematurely in the second half. He did not return. With Allison's status […]

Jamaal Williams Rushes For 104 Yards

Green Bay Packers running back Jamaal Williams ran for 104 yards on 14 carries to go along with four catches in the win over the Lions.

Aaron Jones Disappoints Against Lions

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones ran for 47 yards on 11 carries in addition to four receptions for 13 yards in the win over the Lions.

Aaron Rodgers Goes For Two Touchdowns

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers went 22-for-39 for 283 yards and a touchdown in the narrow win over the Lions on Monday night.

Kyle Rudolph Has Three Grabs For 36 Yards In Win

Minnesota Vikings tight end caught 3-of-3 targets for 36 yards in a Week 6 win over the Philadelphia Eagles. This was Rudolph's best game this season by quite a large margin, which just reinforces that he can't be trusted as a starting tight end even with the position being as shallow as it is. He […]

Laquon Treadwell Hauls In One Catch In Victory

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Laquon Treadwell caught his only target for 15 yards in Week 6's 38-20 win over the Philadelphia Eagles.

Devin Booker Will Play in Preseason Contest Monday

Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker will suit up for Monday's preseason contest against the Denver Nuggets. Booker sat out the last two preseason games due to rest, but he'll get in some minutes here.

Grayson Allen Will Start in Monday's Contest

Memphis Grizzlies guard Grayson Allen will jump into the starting five for Monday's preseason game against the Charlotte Hornets.

Kelly Olynyk is Not Suiting Up Against Hawks

Miami Heat forward Kelly Olynyk (knee) remains out for Monday's preseason game against the Atlanta Hawks. Olynyk has not been through a full practice yet and won't be cleared to play until he's able to do that. The Heat are hopeful to have Olynyk ready for opening day, but we'll see if that happens. Otherwise, […]

Evan Turner Should Be Available on Monday

Atlanta Hawks guard/forward Evan Turner (Achilles) is expected to play during Monday's preseason game against the Miami Heat. He's been dealing with left Achilles pain that has cost him most of the preseason. Turner should see decent backup minutes at guard and forward this season off the bench. He'll be a better option in deep […]
