San Francisco 49ers QB Jimmy Garoppolo misses practice, casting doubt on playing vs. Giants
Despite some early-week optimism, the chances of San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo playing this week on his sprained right ankle appear increasingly unlikely. Garoppolo did not practice Wednesday, and he probably won’t be able to practice later in the week, coach Kyle Shanahan said. That means backup Nick Mullens will work with the starting […]

Editor’s note: Because we know the fantasy football week is fluid, this column is published on Tuesdays, but roster percentages are updated on Fridays.

The San Francisco 49ers rolled to victory against the New York Jets but left town with conflicting feelings after their lengthy injury list got even longer on the new artificial surface of MetLife Stadium.

What a brutal week for injuries The storyline of Week 2, at least as far as the 1 p.m. ET games were concerned, was the injuries.

If you’re a football fan or someone with an unhealthy knowledge of both football and obscure golf tours, you’re probably familiar with the propositions that pop up during the run-up to the Super Bowl. In addition to trying to predict which team will actually win the game, fans are able to test their powers on […]
Continue reading260 players who could win 2020 NFL MVP: Patrick Mahomes, Deshaun Watson, kickers and more
Picking an MVP in advance of a typical NFL season is difficult. Remember last year? The trendiest candidates heading into the regular season were Carson Wentz, Baker Mayfield and Russell Wilson one obvious example, but Mahomes is the only one with the sort of airtight accomplishments to be added to this list. Although this is […]

On Monday evening, Sowers was still wrapping her head around that idea. “Being the first female in the Super Bowl, it’s surreal,” Sowers said. “It really is. But what I want to continue to say is that even though I’m the first, the most important thing is I’m not the last and we continue to […]
