Houston Astros starter Gerrit Cole was dominant again, pitching eight masterful innings to shut down the Rays and send the Astros into the ALCS.

Brandon Bolden Scores Touchdown In Week 6

New England Patriots running back Brandon Bolden racked up 46 total yards from scrimmage and scored a touchdown in the Patriots 35-14 dismantling of the Giants.

Ryan Izzo Totals 31 Yards Against Giants

New England Patriots tight end Ryan Izzo caught two passes for 31 yards in the Patriots victory over the Giants on Thursday.

James White Tallies Nine Receptions In Week 6

New England Patriots running back James White caught nine passes for 46 yards in the Patriots 35-14 win over the Giants.

Sony Michel Posts 113 Total Yards In Win Over Giants

New England Patriots running back Sony Michel carried the ball 22 times for 86 yards and added two receptions for 27 yards in the team's 35-14 win over the Giants. It was the type of game tailored for Michel, and the second-year back only posted a modest fantasy score. His 3.9 yards per carry certainly […]

Tom Brady Rushes For Two Scores In TNF Victory

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady completed 31 of 41 passes for 334 yards, two rushing touchdowns and one interception in the Patriots Week 6 victory over the Giants. Brady was solid, not spectacular, punching in two one-yard dives for touchdowns. The future Hall Of Fame player did not find the end zone with his […]

Patriots Defense Scores Two Touchdowns In Win

The New England Patriots Defense recovered a fumble for a touchdown and returned a blocked punt for another score in the team's 35-14 win over the Giants.

Aldrick Rosas Makes His Extra Points

New York Giants kicker Aldrick Rosas made both of his extra points on Thursday night but wasn’t called on for anything else. He simply isn’t usable with the Giants offense so banged up, but thanks for reading this late-night kicker blurb.

Giants Defense Runs Out Of Gas On Thursday Night

The New York Giants Defense came to play early in Thursday’s game, but they weren't done any favors by their offense. In the second quarter, the Giants defense sacked Brady and returned the ensuing fumble for a touchdown to tie the game at 14; yet, Daniel Jones and Co. kept consistently turning the ball over […]

Rhett Ellison Starts At Tight End For Giants

New York Giants tight end Rhett Ellison started for Evan Engram (knee) on Thursday night, making three catches for 23 yards on his seven targets, four of which came on the final drive in garbage time. Even if he sees more starts as Engram recovers from a knee injury, Ellison won’t be usable unless Saquon […]

Darius Slayton Runs As Giants Second Receiver

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton was second on the Giants in targets despite Cody Latimer being announced as the starter opposite Golden Tate. Latimer only saw one target, but Slayton also couldn't do much against the Patriots' tough defense. The rookie collected three catches for 32 yards on his eight targets. Slayton is […]

Golden Tate Stars For Giants On Thursday

New York Giants wide receiver Golden Tate was the focus of the Giants offense on Thursday night, securing six catches for 102 yards and a touchdown. Tate was really the only healthy wide receiver the team had, so his involvement was no surprise. His touchdown catch showed that he still has big-play ability, but he’s […]

Jonathan Hilliman Fails To Deliver in Start

New York Giants running back Jonathan Hilliman failed to deliver in his first career NFL start. Filling in for both Wayne Gallman (concussion) and Saquon Barkley (ankle), Hilliman plodded his way to 38 yards on 11 carries, while adding -3 yards on two catches. The undrafted free agent fumbled on one of those catches, leading […]

Daniel Jones Has A Night To Forget

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones had a predictably tough game against the Patriots on Thursday night. In rainy conditions, up against the league’s top defense, Jones completed only 15 of 31 passes for 161 yards, over a third of which came on his touchdown connection to Golden Tate. Jones also threw three interceptions. The […]

Royce Lewis Tearing It Up In AFL

Minnesota Twins prospect Royce Lewis is slashing .375/.426/.688 with three home runs and 18 hits in 12 games for the Salt River Rafters in the Arizona Fall League. He started slow this year in the minors and was slowed by an oblique injury, but he's making up for lost time and showing why he was […]

C.J. Cron May Need Surgery

Minnesota Twins first baseman C.J. Cron (thumb), who had been bothered by a bone bruise in his thumb for most of the second half of the season, could need surgery to fix the issue. Cron was put on the injured list twice, and the injured limited his ability at the plate down the stretch. The […]

Kurt Suzuki In Concussion Protocol

Washington Nationals catcher Kurt Suzuki (concussion, wrist) will be in the concussion protocol in St. Louis, according to manager Dave Martinez, but X-rays on his hand came back negative. "He should be ready to go tomorrow," Martinez said. Suzuki went down hard in Game 5 of the National League Division Series on Wednesday when he […]

Danny Dekeyser Chips in Two Points

Detroit Red Wings defenseman Danny Dekeyser led the team in points with two assists in their 4-2 victory over the Montreal Canadiens. The story of the game for the Red Wings was balanced scoring, with 10 different players recording points. While it is good for the team, it isn't the best news for fantasy owners […]

Patriots Hoping Rob Gronkowski Returns

New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft said on Thursday on NFL Network that he's still hoping that tight end Rob Gronkowski will unretire and rejoin the team this year. "We all love Gronk, and I think the bottom line is he hasn’t put his retirement papers in. So we can always pray and hope," Kraft […]

Auston Matthews Continues Hot October

Toronto Maple Leafs forward Auston Matthews tallied another goal in a 7-3 loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning, increasing his goal total to six on the season.

Chris Carson Added To Injury Report

Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson (shoulder) was added to the Week 6 injury report and was limited in practice on Thursday. Carson was available to reporters after practice, though, which is something the Seahawks typically won't allow with players whose statuses are in question. That means Carson should be fine for Week 6 against […]

Nikita Kucherov, Steven Stamkos Tally Four Points Each

Tampa Bay Lightning forwards Nikita Kucherov and Steven Stamkos sent a message to the rest of the Atlantic Division, tallying four points each in a 7-3 victory over the Toronto Maple Leafs. Kucherov scored two of the goals while Stamkos added one. Brayden Point was also huge in his return from injury, chipping in three […]

Julio Jones Limited In Practice Thursday

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones (hip) was limited in practice on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday. The veteran is often listed with some time of injury as the season wears on, but he usually plays through it and remains productive. Jones has been uncharacteristically quiet in recent weeks, but he's set up perfectly […]

Frederik Andersen Allows Seven Goals in Loss

Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender Frederik Andersen allowed all seven goals in a 7-3 loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning. This was only the second time Andersen has allowed seven or more goals in his time with the Leafs, with the first time also coming against the Lightning. Stopping only 21 of 28 shots, the Leafs […]

Cardinals Want To Get Andy Isabella More Involved

Arizona Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury said that rookie wide receiver Andy Isabella continues to work hard, and the team's plan is to get him more involved. The team's second-round pick only played nine offensive snaps with both Christian Kirk and Damiere Byrd sidelined in Week 5, and he hasn't been targeted in the passing […]
