Seattle Seahawks rookie running back Rashaad Penny has been pretty useless so far, but Week 4 against Arizona may just give him the chance to shine. Penny logged 10 carries in Week 2 for just 30 yards, but he's facing a pretty forgiving run defense this time around. He also may get more chances because […]
Billy Stonick 6 years agoTyler Lockett Looks To Keep Scoring Streak Going
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver/returner Tyler Lockett has filled in admirably while Doug Baldwin has been sidelined, and even with Baldwin coming back against Arizona, expect Lockett to still push to the end zone.

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson worked his magic last week against Dallas, but he'll need to dig deep to do it again when the Cardinals come to town.

Billy Stonick 6 years agoTyrell Williams With A Chance To Break Out
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Tyrell Williams posted a 1,000 yard season two years ago, but he's barely able to get a look nowadays.

Billy Stonick 6 years agoAustin Ekeler Should Still Shine As Change-Of-Pace Back
Los Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler continues to stand out as an incredible talent who happens to be in a situation that prevents him from being the starter.

Billy Stonick 6 years agoEarl Thomas Makes Two Incredible Interceptions
Seattle Seahawks free safety Earl Thomas remains in the news on nearly a daily basis, and this week was no different.

Billy Stonick 6 years agoJaron Brown Catches First TD Of The Year
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaron Brown was considered a bit of a sleeper coming into the season because his home run ability made it questionable how the team was exactly going to use him.

Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson finished Sunday with 102 yards on the ground, another 22 through the air, and a touchdown.

Billy Stonick 6 years agoAustin Ekeler Continues To Be Explosive
Los Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler posted another incredible, yet limited, performance on Sunday. Ekeler saw limited carries as Melvin Gordon's backup once again, but as is standard, he posted a ridiculous YPC and blew plays wide open.

Billy Stonick 6 years agoAdam Ottavino Breaks Bad
Colorado Rockies relief pitcher Adam Ottavino has lost his touch again.

Billy Stonick 6 years agoKyle Freeland Remains Undefeated In September
Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Kyle Freeland will likely finish out this season as the most unlikely of Cy Young finalists, and he continued to add to his resume by refusing to lose on Tuesday night.
