Jets Expected To Promote Jeremy Bates

The New York Jets are expected to promote quarterbacks coach Jeremy Bates to the offensive coordinator position, according to league sources. Bates did a great job with journeyman quarterback Josh McCown in 2017, and the team outperformed all expectations on offense with little talent. Bates deserves the promotion in New York, but he may be […]

Teddy Bridgewater Hopes To Start In 2018

Minnesota Vikings impending free-agent quarterback Teddy Bridgewater sees himself as a starter for the 2018 season. Along with Bridgewater, quarterbacks Case Keenum and Sam Bradford will also be free agents, so the Vikes have some decisions to make. It seems unlikely that the Vikes would just give Bridgewater the starting gig since he has played […]

Dalvin Cook Has Resumed Jogging

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (knee) has resumed jogging, but he doesn't have a set plan for returning to football activities. Cook tore his ACL after just four games in his rookie season, but before the injury he proved effective, running 74 times for 354 yards (4.8 yards per carry) and two touchdowns. If […]

Patriots Optimistic Rob Gronkowski Will Be Ready For Super Bowl

Koji Uehara Expects To Play One More Year

Free-agent relief pitcher Koji Uehara said he expects to retire after one more season in 2018, although he's not interested in signing a minor league deal. "I want to play this year, for one more year," the free-agent right-hander said at a baseball clinic in Fukushima. "If I get a contract, I'm more than 90 […]

Jose Bautista Working Out Hard In Offseason

Free-agent outfielder Jose Bautista has been working out diligently this offseason in hopes of bouncing back after posting a .203/.308/.366 slash line in 157 games in 2017 with the Blue Jays, according to his agent, Jay Alou. Joey Bats' OPS numbers have been on a drastic decline each of the last three years, and fantasy […]

Zach Ertz Catches Eight Passes in the NFC Championship Game

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz caught all eight of his targets on Sunday, gaining 93 yards.

Torrey Smith Comes Up Big in the NFC Championship Game

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Torrey Smith finally showed up to an Eagles game on Sunday, catching five of his seven targets for 69 yards and a touchdown.

Nelson Agholor Catches Three Passes on Sunday

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Nelson Agholor caught three of his four targets in the NFC Championship Game, gaining 59 yards.

Meanwhile, […]

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Alshon Jeffery scored two touchdowns in the NFC Championship Game, coming down with all five of his targets for 85 yards.

LeGarrette Blount Scores a Touchdown Despite Limited Work

Philadelphia Eagles running back LeGarrette Blount only had six carries in Sunday's NFC Championship Game, but he was able to gain 21 yards and score a touchdown.

Jay Ajayi Totals 99 Yards in the NFC Championship Game

Philadelphia Eagles running back Jay Ajayi totaled 99 yards in Sunday's victory over the Minnesota Vikings. He carried the ball 18 times for 73 yards and caught all three of his targets for 26 yards.

Nick Foles Destroys The Vikings in the NFC Championship Game

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Nick Foles shocked the world and destroyed the Minnesota Vikings elite pass defense in the NFC Championship Game, completing 26 of 33 passes for 352 yards and three touchdowns.

DeMarre Carroll Does A Little Of Everything In Nets Win

Brooklyn Nets small forward DeMarre Carroll had a ho-hum game in the Sunday night win over the Detroit Pistons.

D'Angelo Russell Struggles Again In Second Game Back

Brooklyn Nets point guard D’Angelo Russell struggled again in his second game back from knee surgery. Russell was a little better on Sunday, making one shot from the field instead of zero, but he wasn’t much better otherwise.

Rondae Hollis-Jefferson Has Monster Showing Sunday Night

Brooklyn Nets power forward Rondae Hollis-Jefferson had a monster game in what has been a breakout season for the third-year forward out of Arizona.

Spencer Dinwiddie Comes Up Clutch Sunday Night

Brooklyn Nets point guard Spencer Dinwiddie showed his clutch trait on Sunday night by hitting a game-winning shot in the waning moments of the contest to lift the Nets to a 101-100 victory over the Detroit Pistons.

2018 Second Base - Early Points League Rankings and Tiers

Aside from catcher, second base is amongst the shallowest positions heading into the 2018 season. Assuming a standard 10-12 team league, depending on the bench size it makes sense to roster only one 2B upon conclusion of your draft. If you can’t scoop up Jose Altuve, Jose Ramirez or Anthony Rizzo, you may need to […]

Domantas Sabonis Has Off Night From The Field

Indiana Pacers forward/center Domantas Sabonis went cold from the field on Sunday, managing only nine points on 2-for-8 shooting from the field in the win against the San Antonio Spurs.

Victor Oladipo With A Cool 19 Points In Win

Indiana Pacers guard Victor Oladipo registered 19 points on 8-for-14 shooting from the field in the impressive win against the reeling San Antonio Spurs.
