Sam LaPorta Looks Like Starting Tight End

The Athletic's Colton Pouncy writes that rookie tight end Sam LaPorta looks like the team's TE1 in training camp. He is always working with the starters and he's the most talented tight end on the roster. Pouncy thinks the Lions are comfortable with LaPorta's ability to pick up the offense, and he's passed every test […]

Jameson Williams Has Been Working With Second-Team Offense

Detroit Lions second-year wide receiver Jameson Williams has mostly been working with the second-team offense at training camp. With so many pass-catchers, it's probably best that Williams works with the second team for now. He's getting plenty of looks with that unit, and it allows the starters to build some continuity knowing they'll be without […]

David Montgomery, Jahmyr Gibbs Considered Co-Starters

Detroit Lions running back David Montgomery has typically been the first running back with the offense in training camp, but rookie first-rounder Jahmyr Gibbs gets plenty of repetitions, too. The Athletic's Colton Pouncy considers them co-starters in the backfield this year. Given Gibbs' receiving skills, Pouncy expects the snap distribution to look pretty similar. The […]

Cole Beasley Could Win Starting Slot Role

New York Giants wide receiver Cole Beasley worked as the No. 1 slot receiver during Thursday's practice.

MMA DFS Value Picks - UFC Nashville: Sandhagen vs. Font (Premium Content)

In a rather odd development, Dana White decided to organize a numbered UFC event last weekend in which no belts were involved--unless you count the BMF strip as one of them. Officially, it is not one. Unofficially, it isn't either. But I freaking love it, so I'll give Dana a pass. This Saturday the UFC […]

Who Is The Texans No. 1 WR? Fantasy Football Outlook

Robert Woods is currently listed as one of the starting wide receivers on the Houston Texans' depth chart, but if he finishes as the top fantasy option this season, things have gone horribly wrong for the team's passing game.
