Player performance
Daniels finished fifth in both fantasy points and fantasy points per game as a rookie thanks to his high rushing volume. His per-game stats are a little deceptive, as in one game he only threw two passes before injury, and in Week 18, he played in less than half the game as the Commanders’ playoff spot was locked up. Excluding those two games, he averaged 23.7 fantasy points per game.

A Lions standby list: Who’s in the frame for potential late call-ups?
Andy Farrell's 2025 British and Irish Lions squad has been confirmed, but as is always the case, injuries will cause disruption and changes between now and the start of the tour. Indeed, there are a litany of examples of players called up late to previous Lions tours having initially missed out and played their way into Test selection - sometimes even as central performers. In 2013, English prop Alex Corbisiero missed out on the original 37-man Lions squad to travel to Australia. After an ankle injury to Irishman Cian Healy, Corbisiero was called up and ended up starting in both the victorious first and third Tests vs the Wallabies as a standout player - scoring the crucial opening try in the series decider.

Today on Sky Sports Racing: Windsor, Wolverhampton and Southwell feature
Windsor, Wolverhampton and Southwell play host to today's action - with every race live on Sky Sports Racing.6.33 Windsor - Course and Distance specialists Aramis Grey and Amazonian Dream clashA Monday night at Windsor would not be the same without the Rod Millman-trained Amazonian Dream, who has run at the course 14 times with three successes to his name. The six-furlong course is somewhat of a specialist's track and he seemingly takes a liking to it. Don't be surprised if he goes close in this Fitzdares Sprint Series Handicap. Aramis Grey was somewhat of an unlucky loser for Jack Jones at Newcastle on All-Weather Championships Finals Day when being beaten by the rank outsider of the field. She was on the wrong part of the course that day and looks to get back into the winners' enclosure for the first […]
Brundle: McLaren may have to make earlier choice in Piastri-Norris title battle
McLaren might have to make an early choice to back Oscar Piastri or Lando Norris in this year's F1 title race according to Sky Sports F1's Martin Brundle.Piastri leads Norris by 16 points ahead of this weekend's Emilia Romagna Grand Prix, and McLaren's perfect Sprint weekend in terms of scoring has left Max Verstappen 32 points off the championship lead. Miami was McLaren's most dominant weekend yet as they finished over half a minute clear of third-placed George Russell, who is 38 points adrift of Piastri after six rounds."The problem McLaren are going to have is if Max Verstappen and George Russell keep pumping in the results, and Mercedes have got an update coming at Imola that they're quite excited about, but I'm sure they'll all improve to an extent," said Brundle on The F1 Show."If they're there, there's no […]
Maple Leafs vs. Panthers has turned into a battle of both bodies and minds
SUNRISE, Fla. – As the time wound down on the Toronto Maple Leafs’ most ineffective performance of these playoffs, Max Domi took the opportunity to send a message.Domi lined up Florida Panthers captain Aleksander Barkov from behind just as the final buzzer was sounding on Sunday’s 2-0 loss and sent him flailing into the boards from a vulnerable position, kicking off a scrum that could reverberate all the way back to Toronto for Game 5 of this second-round series. Domi hits Barkov from behind, and tempers flare at the end of Game 4 👀 pic.twitter.com/38MsoyVS4c — Sportsnet (@Sportsnet) May 12, 2025It was the kind of decision that summed up a night where the Leafs repeatedly lost their composure with the toll of a physical series starting to be felt.And while the Panthers obviously didn’t appreciate seeing Domi take a run […]
Z hrdiny nešťastníkem. Tohle hodně bolí, lituje plzeňský Jemelka chyby proti Baníku
Pokud by Západočeši vyhráli, mohli s předstihem slavit ligové stříbro. A tím účast v předkolech Ligy mistrů. Přestože k tomu měli díky gólu Jemelky nakročeno, Baník jim obratem během pěti minut radost překazil. A vytvořil na viktoriány velký tlak, neboť je dvě kola před koncem bodově dostihl.„Tohle je obrovská ztráta, moc bolí. Tohle jsme rozhodně nechtěli. Velká škoda,“ povzdechl si Jemelka, který se v lize trefil po třech letech. Místo radosti ale opouštěl trávník frustrovaný. Z chyby, které se dopustil.

Takeaways from the Giants’ getting swept out of Minnesota
MINNEAPOLIS — Baseball is a game of inches, yes, and you’ll be reminded of that for as long as the sport is played. But it’s also about timing. The San Francisco Giants were swept out of Minnesota over the weekend, losing three close games. Timing had more than a little to do with it. Let us count the ways.AdvertisementThe Giants scored six runs in their Sunday afternoon 7-6 loss to the Minnesota Twins, which would have been more than enough to win either of the first two games of the series. Heliot Ramos hit a solo home run Saturday and a two-run homer Sunday, but if the order of those were switched, the Giants might have salvaged a game in the series. The Giants had two sparkling-clean bullpen games and one dud, and if the dud came on a different […]
