Matt Fitzpatrick Has Some Experience At The Sentry

Matt Fitzpatrick could use last year's experience in the Tournament Of Champions as a springboard for the 2024 version. The English golfer finished seventh, like Scottie Scheffler.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 54% of Leagues ANALYSIS: New Orleans’ multidimensional threat Taysom Hill has been held in check on the ground lately (four rushing yards over his last three games) but has still been putting up some numbers when running routes as a pseudo-tight end.

Martin Fehervary A Game-Time Decision On Tuesday

Washington Capitals defenseman Martin Fehervary (upper body) could be back in action on Tuesday against Pittsburgh after rejoining practice on Monday. He skated on the first defensive pairing with a regular jersey, so the signs are encouraging that Fehervary's absence will be limited to only one game. The 24-year-old is a non-factor offensively, having tallied […]

Jesper Fast Won't Play On Tuesday

Carolina Hurricanes winger Jesper Fast (upper body) won't be in the lineup Tuesday versus the Rangers. He was injured at the weekend against Toronto, and it's unclear when Fast can rejoin the action.
