Kyle Farmer Scratched On Monday

Cincinnati Reds infielder Kyle Farmer (neck) has been scratched from the starting lineup for Monday's game against the New York Mets.

Is JuJu Smith-Schuster the Chiefs WR1? Where Should I Draft JuJu Smith-Schuster?

The wide receiver room for the Kansas City Chiefs will look a little different in 2022 with Tyreek Hill being traded to the Miami Dolphins.

Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell said that he wants to get the starters a quarter's worth of repetitions in Friday's preseason opener against the Atlanta Falcons.
