Anthony Davis Has Another Productive Preseason Showing

Los Angeles Lakers forward/center Anthony Davis scored 13 points in Friday's loss to the Warriors. He added six rebounds, four assists, and a steal.

Jalin Hyatt Still Looking To Make An Impact

New York Giants wide receiver Jalin Hyatt is seeing more time on the playing field but is still failing to make much of an impact. In the rookie's last three games, he's been shut out twice and caught just two passes for 10 yards in the other. The entire Giants' offense has been a disaster […]

Golden State Warriors guard Chris Paul logged 20 minutes of work in Friday's exhibition with the Lakers. The veteran finished with six points, going 2-for-6 from the field and 2-for-3 from deep.

Isaiah Hodgins Seeing Snap Numbers Tumble

New York Giants wide receiver Isaiah Hodgins may not get a ton of opportunities to show off against his former team, the Buffalo Bills, in Week 6. After playing at least 60% of the offensive snaps in Weeks 1-3, his time on the field dipped below 40% in Weeks 4 and 5. On the season, […]

College Football Risers and Fallers: Week 7 NCAAF Stock Watch

College football never fails to excite no matter what the slate is. Did anybody anticipate Georgia Tech-Miami to be a matchup one week after Georgia Tech was blown out by Bowling Green? Not at all.

New York Giants wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson (knee) has no official injury designation for Week 6, despite a pair of limited practices to end the week.

NFL Pick 'Em Pool Picks (Week 6) - Targets, Avoids, Predictions for Pickem Contests

Two undefeated teams (and one winless team) remain as Week 6 of the NFL season begins. It's not always that clear-cut, however. Some one-loss teams have looked shaky.

New York Giants quarterback Tyrod Taylor will be under center on Sunday night with starter Daniel Jones (neck) ruled out. This will be the 34-year-old's first start since the 2021 season and it will come against one of his former teams, the Buffalo Bills.

Browns Defense Tough To Trust In Week 6

The Cleveland Browns have sported one of the best defenses in the league through the first five weeks of the season, but they will be challenged at home against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 6. The 49ers' offense has been tough to slow down in 2023 as they are second in the NFL in […]
