Chargers coach Anthony Lynn revealed his plan for the running back position in Week 5 against the Broncos, admitting Melvin Gordon isn’t ready for a full workload. Instead, Lynn said he will continue to give a majority of the touches to Austin Ekeler because Gordon isn’t ready to be the team’s No. 1 running back after returning from a 64-day holdout. “We have a plan for Melvin,” Lynn said Friday. “I don’t want to put him…

The undefeated 49ers have plenty to prove when they host Cleveland for Week 5 of “Monday Night Football,” the Browns’ second Monday night game of 2019 but the first primetime billing for the only NFC team yet to lose this year. San Francisco had an early bye last week, and before that beat three teams of questionable quality; a 31-17 Week 1 win over Tampa Bay, then a 41-17 shellacking of Cincinnati and, finally, a…

If you’re looking to have a big Week 5 at the wide receiver spot in fantasy football, look no further than the Buccaneers-Saints game. The Bucs just allowed more than 500 yards passing to the Rams, while Jameis Winston threw for nearly 400 himself.

For all the talk about the Astros’ starting rotation entering the MLB postseason, their opponent in the ALDS, the Rays, are also built to shut down offenses. Across from Houston’s Big 3 of Justin Verlander, Gerrit Cole and Zack Greinke, Tampa Bay will trot out a trio of talented arms hoping to step up and match their vaunted counterparts. Tyler Glasnow and Charlie Morton each posted sub-3.10 ERAs this year. Blake Snell won a 2018 Cy Young award. Which…

Week 5 fantasy kicker rankings see one name continue to fall slowly: Stephen Gostkowski. He’s still in our top 10, but barely, as he’s struggled to be consistent even on simple PAT attempts. The long-time Patriot is still a fantasy starter, but he’s no longer one of the top names at the position. The other projected top name that’s frustrated fantasy owners is Michael Badgley (groin), who continues to missing games, forcing punter Ty Long to…
