Keenan Allen Has Another Monster Game

What Is Wrong With Eddie Lacy?

For all of the Eddie Lacy owners out there who thought that last week's performance from the 25-year-old back was rock bottom, think again.

Justin Forsett Expected to Play Against the 49ers

According to Adam Schefter, Justin Forsett is expected to suit up today against the San Francisco 49ers today in a matchup of two 1-4 teams.

Julius Thomas Looks To Increase Workload

While it wasn’t the most inspiring start last week, Julius Thomas did return for the Jacksonville Jaguars last week, catching both of his targets for 20 yards.

Chris Johnson To Remain Starter

When The Arizona Cardinals go on the road this week to play the Pittsburgh Steelers, Chris Johnson will lead the way at running back. Unfortunately, it’s not 2009.
