Flyers

Three reasons why the Flyers were unable to close out the Canadiens in Game 5

Every time you think the Flyers are invincible, they show us that success — in every vocation — is elusive. In a game jam-packed with goals, penalties, elite performances and epic mistakes, the Flyers saw their series lead dwindle a bit to 3-2 in a 5-3 setback in Toronto Wednesday night.

Fantasy football 2020 wide receiver sleepers: Take a chance and go young (Brandon Aiyuk, Jalen Reagor)

Consistency is something fantasy football owners (and, I supposes the NFL players themselves) are eternally searching for. Nothing is better than having a wide receiver who you can start every week, and from whom you can expect production.

Jags reportedly nearing deal for Yannick Ngakoue trade. Could Eagles be involved?

The Eagles' injury report hasn't been that bad, but there have been several key defensive linemen sitting out practices so far during this abridged training camp, and there's a good possibility Javon Hargrave — the team's highest profile free agent signing — could miss week one.

Fantasy football quarterback sleepers for 2020: Don't overlook Matthew Stafford, Ben Roethlisberger

Three reasons the Flyers shut out the Canadiens in Game 3 to retake series lead

It will take 16 wins to become the 2019-20 Stanley Cup champion, and not all of them are going to be pretty. Not all of them will be convincing or dominating and many will be won despite not playing particularly well. Such was the Flyers' 1-0 victory over the Canadiens in Game 3 of the first round in the Eastern Conference playoffs on Sunday night.

Eagles

Wentz likes what he sees from Reagor, other Eagles rookie WRs despite shortened offseason

It's been nearly four months since Jalen Reagor was drafted, and finally, for the first time with pads on, Carson Wentz was able to throw with him Monday, as the Eagles took the field for their first practices in front of media members.
