Marcus Maye Done For The Season

New York Jets safety Marcus Maye (Achilles) suffered a torn Achilles in the Thursday night loss to the Indianapolis Colts and will miss the rest of the season.

Projecting the Titans Offense Without Derrick Henry

The initial shock of Derrick Henry's season-ending injury was a stinging slap to the face of the Titans fanbase right after a fourth straight victory that has them sitting as the top seed in the AFC.

Ryan Griffin Catches TD In Week 9

New York Jets tight end Ryan Griffin entered this Week 9 matchup with 10 total receptions on the season.

Ty Johnson Scores In Loss To Colts

Michael Carter Underachieves In Week 9

New York Jets running back Michael Carter has been putting together some fantastic fantasy performances, especially in PPR formats over the last two weeks. Sadly, nothing gold can stay.

Josh Johnson Notches Over 300 Yards

New York Jets quarterback Josh Johnson stepped up and delivered against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 9.

Marcus Maye Doubtful To Return With Calf Injury

New York Jets safety Marcus Maye (calf) is doubtful to return to the Thursday night game against the Indianapolis Colts after suffering a non-contact injury in the third quarter.

NFL Survivor Pool Picks (Week 9) - Targets and Avoids

Football. The game doesn't add up. Sometimes all stats point to one team dominating but just the opposite happens. That transpired with  the Bengals Sunday, but the game that really made no sense was the Titans-Colts. Indy jumped out to a quick 14-0 lead before the Titans crawled back and then it was back-and-forth. Now […]
