As the trade deadline at the end of October nears, the Minnesota Vikings are receiving calls on NFL sack leader Danielle Hunter.

Eagles Will Have Darius Slay, Jalen Carter Against Miami

Fantasy managers should probably be fading the Philadelphia Eagles defense/special teams unit in Week 7 as they face the highest-scoring offense in the NFL in the Miami Dolphins, but they will at least be getting both cornerback Darius Slay (knee) and rookie defensive tackle Jalen Carter (ankle) back after they missed the Week 6 loss […]

New Orleans Saints edge rusher Carl Granderson made six tackles and recovered a fumble in the Saints' 24-31 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars on Thursday Night Football.

Tyrann Mathieu Listed As Questionable For TNF In Week 7
