Derrick Henry Likely To Be Relied On Heavily Against Ravens

Tennessee Titans running back and NFL rushing leader Derrick Henry heads into next Saturday's wild-card showdown with the Ravens, a team he dismantled in the Divisional Round last year, averaging 5.36 yards per carry, with 17 touchdowns in 16 games this season.

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Corey Davis caught five of 11 targets for 39 yards in Sunday's 41-38 win over the Texans. He tied A.J.

Houston Rockets point guard John Wall tied his season high with 28 points on Wednesday, shooting 12-for-20 from the field in a loss to Indiana.

Tennessee Titans wide receiver A.J. Brown caught 10 of 11 targets for 151 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 41-38 win over the Texans.

Ryan Palmer Will Go Off As One Of The Chalkier Picks

Outside of perhaps getting challenged by Lanto Griffin at $6,900 on DraftKings, Ryan Palmer at $7,000 might very well be your highest-owned player below $8,000. Palmer's past performances as the chalk selection of the week haven't exactly gone over well in recent memory, but the way he can score on par-fives, thrive in windy conditions […]

Sungjae Im Gets Preferred Bermuda Surface

When we look at Sungjae Im's strokes-gained total compared to the field over his past 50 rounds, we get an interesting split in production between surfaces. When faced with any other grass type than the one he gets this weekend, the South Korean grades a paltry 28th out of 42 golfers. However, that number climbs […]

Scottie Scheffler Looks To Regain Pre-COVID Form

The end of the season didn't go as planned for Scottie Scheffler, who contracted COVID-19 and failed to land a top-15 result over the last 10 tournaments of the year. In fairness, only six of those events were participated in by the 32nd-ranked player in the world, but it was still a letdown after a […]

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff (thumb), who missed the Week 17 win over the Cardinals after having surgery to fix a broken and dislocated right thumb, was limited in practice on Wednesday.
