For several weeks, Carolina Panthers running back Miles Sanders had been rendered insignificant in their offense, recording just four touches in three straight games.

Still, his lack of rushing opportunities remains discouraging, especially considering […]

Demario Douglas Disappoints Again In Week 8

New England Patriots wide receiver Demario Douglas caught two of three targets for just 12 yards during Sunday's Week 8 win over the New York Jets.

Jalen McMillan Targeted Seven Times

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Jalen McMillan was forced into the No. 1 role with Mike Evans (hamstring) and Chris Godwin (ankle) going down.
