The […]

Russell Wilson Looks To Play Better In Philly

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson won when he went to Philadelphia in Week 12, but he'll hope to play better en route to a win this time around.

The Texans Defense didn't fare well against opposing quarterbacks during the regular season, allowing a fourth-worst 4,493 passing yards and 33 touchdowns in addition to a seventh-worst 291 yards on the ground.

Tom Brady's Demise Is Real

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady heads into the 2020 playoffs as one of the weaker signal-callers of the remaining 12 teams.

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Malik Turner (concussion) and left tackle Duane Brown (biceps, knee) have both been ruled out for the wild-card game against the Eagles on Sunday.

Carson Wentz Not a Great Option for Wild Card Weekend

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz is not a great DFS option for Wild Card Weekend.
