Colts Not Trading For Nick Foles Or Other Veteran QBs

With quarterback Carson Wentz (foot) sidelined and perhaps set to miss some regular-season time, many have wondered if the Indianapolis Colts will look to trade for a backup quarterback, like Chicago's Nick Foles, who is familiar with the system that the team runs. But according to ESPN's Chris Mortensen, the Colts aren't looking to trade […]

Jake Dolegala To Compete For No. 3 Role

New England Patriots quarterback Jake Dolegala is now in his second stint with the organization. He was recently claimed off waivers from the Green Bay Packers. A bit of an odd move considering the Pats have Cam Newton and Mac Jones competing for the starter job. Behind them, Brian Hoyer and Jarrett Stidham (back) fill […]

D'Onta Foreman Working Out For Falcons

The Atlanta Falcons have long been expected to make a move to shore up their running back depth. On Tuesday, the team brought in former Texans and Titans running back D'Onta Foreman for a visit.

Damien Harris Has Legitimate Shot At Being Lead Back

New England Patriots running back Damien Harris is expected to compete for the lead back job in training camp. He has a legitimate shot at taking the job, according to head coach Bill Belichick.

Deshaun Watson Absent From Tuesday's Practice

Despite his trade request and looming legal troubles, Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson has been present at the team's training camp practices so far. But on Tuesday, with the team having their first padded practice, Watson was not on the field. Considering he's been practicing with the fourth team so far, Watson's absence as the […]

Ramon Laureano Looking To Bounce Back In August

Oakland Athletics outfielder Ramon Laureano got off to a hot start to the season, but has cooled off significantly as the weather warmed up. In July, Laureano posted just a .232 batting average with an anemic .595 OPS, his lowest OPS in any month this season by a wide margin. The speedy outfielder had eight […]

Andrew Heaney Serves Up Four Homers In Yankee Debut

New York Yankees starting pitcher Andrew Heaney struggled mightily in his debut at Yankee Stadium Monday night, taking the loss against the Orioles.

Dynasty Rankings Analysis - Tight End

There are plenty of talented tight ends in the NFL these days, and many of them are 27 or younger and perfect to have on a dynasty fantasy football roster for the next several seasons.

Ian Kennedy Serves Up Two-Run Shot Versus Nationals

Philadelphia Phillies relief pitcher Ian Kennedy allowed a two-run homer, but held on to preserve the win over the Nationals on Monday. Kennedy was called on despite Philly holding a four-run lead which was cut in half when Carter Kieboom launched a two-run shot off the veteran reliever.

Fantasy Basketball UDFA Rookie Sleepers

It's funny that every year at the NBA Draft, once the end of the guaranteed money and live appearances arrives at the end of the first round, everybody tunes out and refers to the 60th pick as "Mr.Irrelevant". That's not very accurate though, is it? Speaking historically, the title of "Mr.Irrelevant" could just as easily […]

Alec Bohm Collects Two Hits In Win Versus Nats

Philadelphia Phillies third baseman Alec Bohm went 2-for-5 with an RBI in a win over the Nationals on Monday. Bohm has a solid .254 batting average, but he's not hitting for much power as he's slugging just .354. Part of the problem has been too many grounders as Bohm's 5.3-degree launch angle and 53% ground […]

Champ or Chump: Tanner Houck

Did any team have a more puzzling trading deadline than the Boston Red Sox? Okay, the Seattle Mariners trading their All-Star closer to the team they're chasing for a package largely comprised of future value was a bit strange. Still, the Red Sox need a pitcher and an injured power hitter without a position is […]
