Dareke Young Leads Seahawks Receivers In Preseason Opener

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Dareke Young caught three of his four targets for a team-high 44 receiving yards in Saturday's 16-3 victory over the Los Angeles Chargers. The 2022 draftee's catch and target totals also tied for most on the team. He was also involved in Seattle's longest play of the game. Tucked in close […]

George Holani Vultures Touchdown In Preseason Win

Seattle Seahawks running back George Holani found the end zone in Saturday's 16-3 win over the Los Angeles Chargers. Holani entered the game after three straight Kenny McIntosh touches gave Seattle first down on the Chargers' 11-yard line. After taking the handoff he deftly bounced outside when his lanes up the middle were jammed, found […]

Brady Russell Catches Touchdown Pass

Seattle Seahawks tight end Brady Russell was on the receiving end of a 13-yard touchdown pass in Saturday's 16-3 win over the Los Angeles Chargers. The 25-year-old caught a pass just past the line of scrimmage then eluded three would-be tacklers before diving into the end zone. Russell had a total of three receptions on […]

Sam Howell Throws TD In Preseason Opener

Quarterback Sam Howell enjoyed a win in his debut with the Seahawks on Saturday. Howell went 16-for-27 for 130 yards and a touchdown as a passer in Seattle's 16-3 victory over the Los Angeles Chargers. He also gained 17 yards on four rushes. The Chargers' aggressive pass rush kept pressure on Howell throughout the game […]

All other NASCAR Premium Tools can be accessed on the premium dashboard. The NASCAR Cup Series is back at Richmond Raceway this weekend for the Cook Out 400. We already had one race at this track this season, with Denny Hamlin going to victory lane back in March, earning his fifth win at his home […]

Richmond-2 NASCAR Practice Speeds, Lap Averages, and Notes

The NASCAR Cup Series ran a single practice session at Richmond Raceway on Saturday afternoon in preparation for the upcoming Cook Out 400 on Sunday evening. Unlike other weeks, the 37-car field was not split into two groups for this practice session. Instead, NASCAR had a unified 45-minute session for all of the teams at […]

Richmond-2 NASCAR Qualifying Results and Starting Lineup

Trent Taylor Shows Burst In Preseason Opener

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Trent Taylor led the team in all-purpose yards in Saturday night's 17-13 loss at the Tennessee Titans. Taylor, 30, hauled in three receptions on six targets for 48 yards and ripped off a 21-yard gain on his lone carry. The Louisiana Tech product was drafted by San Francisco in 2017 […]

Tay Martin Leads 49ers In Receiving In Preseason Opener

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Tay Martin saw a good chunk of action in the team's 17-13 loss at the Tennessee Titans on Saturday night. Martin finished with a team-leading five receptions on seven targets for 58 yards. The 26-year-old went undrafted out of Oklahoma State in 2022 and has spent the past two years […]

Jordan Mason Scores In Preseason Opener

San Francisco 49ers running back Jordan Mason led the team in rushing in a 17-13 preseason loss at the Tennessee Titans. He finished the night with six carries for 34 yards and a touchdown while failing to haul in his only target in the passing game. Mason, 25, spent last year alternating between second and […]

NFL DFS Lineup Picks for DraftKings, FanDuel: Preseason Week 1 Fantasy Football (8/11/2024)

It has been a long weekend, with five “main” slates in four days, but now we’ve come to the culminating slate; a two-gamer featuring the Broncos heading to Indy and the Cowboys facing the Rams in Los Angeles. There is much to like today, with multiple stacking opportunities given the size of the slate. We […]

Joshua Dobbs Runs For Touchdown In Preseason Opener

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Joshua Dobbs assumed second-half quarterback duties in a 17-13 loss at the Tennessee Titans on Saturday night. Dobbs, who raised some eyebrows in 2023 with the Arizona Cardinals and Minnesota Vikings, signed with San Francisco in March to back up starter Brock Purdy. Dobbs finished the night completing 14 of 20 […]

Daniel Suarez Riding High After Wedding, Win in Brazil, and Contract Extension

Despite Daniel Suarez's subpar performances since his win at Atlanta, the win and playoff bid proved enough for Trackhouse Racing and they extended his contract for the 2025 season on Friday. Suarez has some real momentum in his corner after his marriage to Julia Piquet, his win in the NASCAR Brazil Series last week, and […]

John Hunter Nemechek Improving, but Probably Won't Contend at Richmond

Although John Hunter Nemechek has won on this track before in the Craftsman Truck Series as recently as 2021, don't expect JHN to recapture the magic this weekend in the Cook Out 400. Much like Daniel Hemric, Nemechek has struggled significantly to adapt to the Next Gen car because his previous full-time season in 2020 […]

Short Tracks Remain Michael McDowell's Achilles' Heel

Although Michael McDowell has surprisingly been something of a qualifying juggernaut this year, he has consistently faded throughout the race on almost all unrestricted ovals, and he has generally had minimal speed on short tracks while his teammate, Todd Gilliland, has been considerably faster. McDowell starts 28th in this weekend's Cook Out 400 at Richmond, […]

Brad Keselowski Continues to Struggle in Qualifying, but Passes Well Enough to Compensate at Richmond

Brad Keselowski qualified 29th at Richmond this weekend, which is actually his worst starting position ever there. However, he's qualified badly more often than not this year and it hasn't affected his performance much because he has been one of the year's best passers. In the spring Richmond race, Keselowski drove from 23rd to 8th, […]

Erik Jones on a Major Short Track Dry Spell

Erik Jones has consistently lacked short track speed since Joe Gibbs Racing fired him, particularly since the introduction of the Next Gen car. Since 2021, Jones has never finished better than 12th or even led a lap on a short track, even in the anomalous spring Bristol race where it seemed like everyone else led. […]

Daniel Hemric Likely Too Slow to Contend at Richmond

As Daniel Hemric continues to get himself acquainted to the Next Gen chassis, he remains the second-slowest full-timer this season ahead of only Zane Smith. Although Hemric has scraped together some top-10 finishes this year, it seems like it takes significantly longer for drivers to learn this car than previous generations of chassis, so Hemric […]

Richmond May Interrupt Justin Haley's Run of Consistency

Although Justin Haley posted the slowest qualifying speed in the field at Richmond yesterday--even slower than his Xfinity Series regular teammate, Riley Herbst--his plodding, methodical style and Chris Lawson's traditionally brilliant strategy have combined to almost always give Haley better finishes than his average running position, as he seems significantly faster at the end of […]

Ross Chastain in Playoff Danger After Poor Richmond Qualifying Effort

Since Ross Chastain's breakout, he has typically qualified poorly by superstar standards but methodically moved through the field whenever he doesn't crash. His Richmond record is weirdly the exact opposite, as he had his best average starting position on a track he had raced at many times entering this weekend, but despite qualifying in the […]

Richmond May Be Kyle Busch's Best Remaining Chance to Make Playoffs

If Kyle Busch has any hope of turning his season around, Richmond may well be the place. It has always been one of Busch's best tracks. However, his greatness at Richmond is becoming a distant memory, as Busch has only led 46 laps in the last eight races and Richard Childress Racing has often lacked […]

Harrison Burton's Richmond Performances Steadily Declining

Although Harrison Burton's father Jeff was a dominant driver at Richmond Raceway for most of his stint at Roush Racing, little of that success rubbed off on Harrison as he has never finished better than 18th nor has he led a lap at the track in a NASCAR Cup Series car. If anything, his performances […]

Chris Buescher More Likely to Focus On Points Than Winning at Richmond

Chris Buescher starts seventh at Richmond this weekend, tying for his best career start at the track. While Richmond was not one of his best tracks with the Gen-6 chassis, he has been quite fast in the last two summer races in the Next Gen era. Buescher won last year's race despite qualifying 26th, his […]

Alex Bowman Tends to Struggle at Richmond in Routine Races

Although Alex Bowman famously won the spring Richmond race in 2021 after spinning out Denny Hamlin (which prompted Hamlin to call him a hack after the race), his record hasn't been too strong otherwise as he has neither finished better than eighth at Richmond nor had an average running position better than sixth. Both of […]

Brock Bowers Hauls In Both Targets In Preseason Debut

Las Vegas Raiders rookie tight end Brock Bowers linked up with quarterback Aidan O'Connell twice on the first drive of the game for 25 yards; his longest was a 16-yard first down over the middle of the field to bring the Raiders right outside the Minnesota red zone. After selecting tight end Michael Mayer in […]

Zamir White Punches In Two-Yard Score

At the moment, Las Vegas Raiders running back Zamir White sits on top of the Raiders' running back depth chart, and nothing happened Saturday that should change that narrative. White started Saturday's game for Las Vegas and led the rest of the running back room in touches until the second half. White handled six carries […]

Ryan Walker Locks Down First Save

San Francisco Giants relief pitcher Ryan Walker earned his first save of the season on Saturday afternoon. Walker allowed two baserunners, one via walk and the other via a single. He tallied two punchouts and did not surrender a run. Walker was recently named San Francisco's closer as Camilo Doval was optioned to Triple-A. Walker […]

Nick Martinez Allows Just One Hit In Stellar Outing

Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Nick Martinez turned in his best start of the season on Saturday as he tossed seven innings of one-hit ball while striking out seven. The lone hit came in the fourth inning off designated hitter Gary Sanchez. Martinez tossed five shutout innings in his last start and may have begun to […]

Tobias Myers Strikes Out Nine On Saturday

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Tobias Myers tossed seven 1/3 shutout innings on Saturday evening. Myers allowed just three hits and no walks while striking out a season-high nine batters. Entering Saturday, Myers posted an excellent 1.61 ERA and a 0.99 WHIP in his past four starts. After posting a 3.26 ERA and a 1.16 WHIP […]
