Tony Pollard Gets Nine Touches In Week 8 Loss
Dallas Cowboys running back Tony Pollard ran the ball seven times for 40 yards and added two catches on two targets for 24 yards. Pollard fell well behind starter Ezekiel Elliott's 21 touches, but came close to his 73 total yards. Pollard looked like the more effective running back in the box score, but the […]

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott couldn't find much running room in a Week 8 loss to the Eagles. Elliott faced stacked boxes almost all night, ultimately running the ball 19 times for 63 scoreless yards. He was only targeted twice in the passing game, catching one ball for 10 yards. With rookie Ben DiNucci […]

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz wasn't great in Week 8, but he was good enough to beat the Cowboys and fall backwards into first place in the NFC East. Wentz completed 15 of his 27 passes for 123 yards and two touchdowns. He threw two interceptions and lost two fumbles in an ugly four turnover […]

Dallas Cowboys rookie quarterback Ben DiNucci struggled in a loss to the Eagles in Week 8. Filling in for Andy Dalton (concussion), who was filling in for Dak Prescott (ankle), DiNucci completed 21 of his 40 pass attempts for 180 scoreless yards. He did not throw an interception, but he did lose two fumbles, one […]
David A Marcillo 4 years agoCowboys Defense Not A Good Option In Week 8
The Dallas Cowboys Defense is not a good option for fantasy lineups in Week 8. With their entire offense in shambles, the Cowboys defense may end up being on the field for most of the game on Sunday night. Last week, they allowed 397 total yards to a Washington Football Team that came into that […]
David A Marcillo 4 years agoGreg Zuerlein Not A Starting Option In Week 8
Dallas Cowboys kicker Greg Zuerlein is not a recommended fantasy option in Week 8. Despite going up against an Eagles team that doesn't particularly limit opposing kickers, Zuerlein will certainly be limited by his own team's offense. Andy Dalton (concussion) already wasn't doing much, and now seventh-round rookie Ben DiNucci may be the one in […]
David A Marcillo 4 years agoDalton Schultz Sees His Stock Keep Dropping
Dallas Cowboys tight end Dalton Schultz is no longer in the TE1 rankings for Week 8. Despite a matchup with an Eagles team that allows tons of points to opposing tight ends, Schultz cannot be trusted with seventh-round rookie Ben DiNucci likely in charge of the Cowboys offense. Schultz and all of the Cowboys pass […]
David A Marcillo 4 years agoMichael Gallup Tough To Trust In Week 8 Lineups
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Michael Gallup is not a strong starting option in most leagues for a Week 8 game against the Philadelphia Eagles. Gallup was held without a catch in Week 7, coming up empty on just two targets. While Gallup made for a sometimes exciting boom-or-bust play with Dak Prescott (ankle) calling the […]
David A Marcillo 4 years agoCeeDee Lamb Looks To Put Last Week Behind Him
Dallas Cowboys rookie wide receiver CeeDee Lamb will look to put last week's near-zero performance behind him in Week 8 against a struggling Eagles secondary. Last week, Lamb could not come up with any of his five targets and rushed for one yard, putting up a score of 0.1 fantasy points in standard formats. Lamb […]
David A Marcillo 4 years agoAmari Cooper Takes A Dip In Rankings For Week 8
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Amari Cooper has tumbled out of the WR1 rankings for a Week 8 matchup with the Philadelphia Eagles. Through no fault of his own, Cooper is unlikely to do much in a game that looks like it will have seventh-round rookie Ben DiNucci starting under center in place of Andy Dalton […]
David A Marcillo 4 years agoTony Pollard Not A Strong Option Despite Increasing Role
Dallas Cowboys running back Tony Pollard doesn't make for a strong fantasy option in Week 8 despite an increasing role in the previous week. With starter Ezekiel Elliott failing to distance himself from Pollard and losing two fumbles last week, Pollard has been seeing more and more touches, with a season-high 12 in Week 6 […]
David A Marcillo 4 years agoEzekiel Elliott Might See A Heavy Workload Against Eagles
Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott might be the only reliable fantasy option in the entire Cowboys lineup in Week 8. With seventh-round rookie Ben DiNucci looking like the likely starter in place of Andy Dalton (concussion), the Cowboys offense could be even more of a mess than they have been since Dak Prescott (ankle) […]
David A Marcillo 4 years agoBen DiNucci Looking Likely To Start In Week 8
Dallas Cowboys rookie quarterback Ben DiNucci is looking more and more likely to get the start in Week 8 against the Philadelphia Eagles. Starter Andy Dalton (concussion) still hasn't been cleared to play and was not even able to practice on Wednesday. DiNucci played in Week 7 after he replaced Dalton, going 2-for-3 for 39 […]
David A Marcillo 4 years agoEagles Defense Set For An Excellent Week 8
The Philadelphia Eagles Defense is set for an excellent Week 8 performance against the Dallas Cowboys. Cowboys quarterback Andy Dalton (concussion) has yet to be cleared to play, meaning rookie Ben DiNucci could end up getting the start on Sunday night. As much as Dalton has struggled to move the ball in the Cowboys offense, […]
David A Marcillo 4 years agoJake Elliott Not A Great Option For Week 8
Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott won't make for a great fantasy option in Week 8 lineups despite what is predicted to be a high-scoring game against the Dallas Cowboys. Elliott has been a solid kicker in previous years, but this season he's only made eight of his 12 field goal attempts and 11 extra points. […]
David A Marcillo 4 years agoRichard Rodgers Likely Has One More Week As The Top Tight End
Philadelphia Eagles tight end Richard Rodgers likely has one more week as the team's top tight end, and it comes against a porous Dallas Cowboys Defense. Dallas Goedert (ankle) has returned to practice and is expected back from Injured Reserve after the team's Week 9 bye, so this should be the final week for Rodgers […]
David A Marcillo 4 years agoJalen Reagor Could Be Back In Week 8
Philadelphia Eagles rookie wide receiver Jalen Reagor (thumb) could be back on the field for a Week 8 contest against the Dallas Cowboys. Reagor hasn't played since Week 2 but has returned to practice and looks like he'll play on Sunday night barring any setbacks. With the Eagles still desperate for pass catchers, it's possible […]
David A Marcillo 4 years agoJohn Hightower Not Reliable For Week 8 Lineups
Philadelphia Eagles rookie wide receiver John Hightower is not a reliable option for any Week 8 fantasy lineups. Hightower has caught a few deep passes this season, but he's not seeing anywhere near consistent enough targets to be worth starting in almost any format. He's a zero-floor big play threat who has caught nine passes […]
David A Marcillo 4 years agoGreg Ward Should Have Some Value In Week 8
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Greg Ward scored a touchdown last week against the Giants, but isn't a great fantasy option despite an even better matchup in Week 8. Ward spent some time as quarterback Carson Wentz's favorite target, but that title has been snatched by Travis Fulgham, who has drawn double-digit targets in three straight […]
David A Marcillo 4 years agoTravis Fulgham Set For Another Big Game In Week 8
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Travis Fulgham is set for another big game in Week 8 against the Dallas Cowboys. Fulgham didn't score a touchdown last week for the first time in three games, but he did see 10 or more targets for the third game in a row. Through his first four games of the […]
David A Marcillo 4 years agoCorey Clement Unlikely To Do Much In Week 8
Philadelphia Eagles running back Corey Clement is unlikely to do much in Week 8 despite an excellent matchup and injuries ahead of him. Last week, with starter Miles Sanders (knee) out, Clement only received three touches, running the ball twice for nine yards and catching a pass for 12 yards. With Sanders not on the […]
David A Marcillo 4 years agoBoston Scott Could Have A Big Game In Week 8
Philadelphia Eagles running back Boston Scott could have a big game in Week 8. Scott went for 46 yards on the ground and 46 yards through the air last week, catching the game-winning touchdown in a win over the Giants. With starter Miles Sanders (knee) looking likely to miss another week, Scott should operate as […]
David A Marcillo 4 years agoMiles Sanders Still Day-To-Day
Philadelphia Eagles running back Miles Sanders (knee) is still day-to-day and has not practiced yet this week. Sanders was forced to miss Week 7 and is on the wrong side of questionable heading into Week 8. With the Eagles scheduled for a Week 9 bye, the team may decide not to push their starting running […]
David A Marcillo 4 years agoCarson Wentz Sneaks Into The QB1 Rankings For Week 8
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz hasn't been as good on the field as most people expected this season, but he's still the seventh overall fantasy quarterback in standard scoring and has been third in the past three games. He's somewhat quietly having one of those better-in-fantasy-than-in-real-life seasons. He's been mostly buoyed by his rushing stats, […]
David A Marcillo 4 years agoCowboys Defense Struggles Again Despite A Good Matchup
The Dallas Cowboys Defense didn't fare well in Week 7 despite being matched up against a Washington Football Team that was allowing the third most fantasy points to opposing fantasy defenses. The Cowboys defense allowed 23 points, recording two sacks but no turnovers. The Cowboys will take on the Eagles in the battle of bad […]
David A Marcillo 4 years agoGreg Zuerlein Scores The Only Points For The Cowboys
Dallas Cowboys kicker Greg Zuerlein attempted a field goal in Week 7, and it was good for the only three points the Cowboys scored in an ugly 25-3 loss to the Washington Football Team. Zuerlein made his kick from 45 yards out and was never on the field on offense again. The Dallas offense is […]

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Michael Gallup came up empty in a rough Week 7 loss. Gallup was targeted twice but couldn't come down with either pass, ending up with a blank box score and zero fantasy points. Gallup was working as a field stretcher with Dak Prescott around, but now with Andy Dalton and possibly […]

Dallas Cowboys rookie wide receiver CeeDee Lamb was targeted five times in an ugly Week 7 loss, failing to catch any of those targets. He was given one carry and gained one yard. In standard scoring leagues, Lamb put up just 0.1 fantasy points. It was a bad game for pretty much everyone in a […]

Dallas Cowboys tight end Dalton Schultz made two catches in Week 7, gaining 22 yards. Unfortunately for the Cowboys, Schultz ended up second on the team in both catches and receiving yards. He was targeted four times in a game in which the Cowboys couldn't do much of anything on offense. Even if Andy Dalton […]

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Amari Cooper had the only remotely productive offensive game for the Cowboys in Week 7.
