Billy Stonick 6 years agoBrandon Marshall Works Role As No. 2 WR
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Brandon Marshall seemed comfortable in his role as the team's No. 2 wide receiver on Monday night.

Billy Stonick 6 years agoMelvin Gordon Carries The Chargers
Los Angeles Chargers running back Melvin Gordon was one of the stars of the fantasy world on Sunday as he found the end zone three times in LA's win over the Bills. Gordon's yardage total wasn't terribly impressive as he only racked up 28 on the ground and 38 through the air, but his ability […]

Billy Stonick 6 years agoRussell Wilson In For A Tough Week
Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson is still working with the same hand he's been dealt for years as his offensive line looks to have some serious holes (or at least one giant Germain Ifedi-sized hole), and in Week 2, he gets to face one of the best pass rushers in the game. It will probably […]
Billy Stonick 6 years agoBrandon Marshall Poised For More Touchdowns
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Brandon Marshall may not have the speed and athleticism he did when he was younger, but he's still bringing plenty of experience and craftiness along with great hands and size.
