David A Marcillo 4 years agoEagles Defense A Middling Week 2 Option
The Philadelphia Eagles Defense is a decent option in Week 2 fantasy lineups. They played well for a while in Week 1 before fading near the end of the game and letting the Washington Football Team take home a win. Still, they showed their upside and should be in a close enough game against the […]
David A Marcillo 4 years agoJake Elliott OK As A Week 2 Kicker
Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott is a decent option in Week 2 fantasy lineups. The Eagles-Rams game could be a somewhat low-scoring affair, so neither kicker in the matchup makes for a top option, but Elliott is a consistent enough kicker to be worth a stream for desperate fantasy managers. He's ranked as the K14 […]
David A Marcillo 4 years agoDallas Goedert Looks To Build On A Great Week 1
Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert is a strong fantasy starting option in Week 2. Goedert was fantastic in Week 1, essentially running the Eagles offense with eight catches for 101 yards and a touchdown. He's still officially "behind" Zach Ertz on the depth chart, but the Eagles run a majority of their offensive formations […]
David A Marcillo 4 years agoZach Ertz Still A Top Tight End Option In Week 2
Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz had a mostly disappointing Week 1 despite catching a touchdown, but he remains an excellent fantasy option in any format. Ertz ended up being targeted seven times in Week 1, but caught just three passes for 18 yards. Ertz was resoundingly outplayed by Dallas Goedert in Week 1, but […]

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver J.J. Arcega-Whiteside still plays for the Philadelphia Eagles, according to their official roster. Arcega-Whiteside was propped up all offseason as a possible breakout candidate, especially given the lack of other options at wide receiver for the Eagles. So, in Week 1, with the Eagles desperate for offense...Arcega-Whiteside was not even targeted. […]
David A Marcillo 4 years agoGreg Ward Suddenly A Key Part Of The Eagles Offense
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Greg Ward has suddenly once again become a key piece of the Eagles passing game. With injuries ravaging the Eagles roster like usual, Ward saw seven targets in Week 1, catching five passes for 31 yards. The Rams Defense tends to limit deep balls, so it's possible that DeSean Jackson and […]
David A Marcillo 4 years agoJalen Reagor Not A Reliable Starter Yet
Philadelphia Eagles rookie wide receiver Jalen Reagor is not a recommended fantasy starter for Week 2 lineups. Reagor should absolutely be rostered in most formats, but he needs to show more on the field before he can be trusted in a starting lineup. The rookie was targeted four times in Week 1, catching just one […]
David A Marcillo 4 years agoDeSean Jackson A Risky Week 2 Start
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson is a risky start in Week 2 fantasy lineups. In Week 1, Jackson was targeted seven times but only caught two passes, totaling 46 yards. The Rams Defense is great at limiting deep passes, and that's where Jackson's game thrives. There's always the chance that he effectively blows the […]
David A Marcillo 4 years agoCorey Clement Could Have A Role In Week 2
Philadelphia Eagles running back Corey Clement could suddenly have a role in Week 2 against the Los Angeles Rams. Although both Miles Sanders (hamstring) and Boston Scott (undisclosed) are expected to play in Week 2, either or both could be limited or on a snap count, leading to opportunity for Clement. Even with the possible […]
David A Marcillo 4 years agoBoston Scott Could Have Value In Week 2
Philadelphia Eagles running back Boston Scott (undisclosed) had to leave the game in Week 1 but was able to return. He's likely to run behind Miles Sanders (hamstring) in Week 2, although Sanders is no sure thing to play. Even if Sanders gets the start, he may be limited or on a snap count, giving […]
David A Marcillo 4 years agoMiles Sanders Looks Ready To Go For Week 2
Philadelphia Eagles running back Miles Sanders (hamstring) practiced in full on Wednesday and should be good to go for Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Rams unless he experiences a new setback. The Eagles backfield was mostly a mess in Week 1 without Sanders. He'll bring a new element to the offense that should help […]
David A Marcillo 4 years agoCarson Wentz Looking Like A QB2 In Week 2
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz looks like a solid QB2 option in Week 2. Taking on a tough Rams Defense and coming off a disappointing loss to the Washington Football Team, Wentz just doesn't have the weapons on offense to be trusted as a QB1. His floor is decent enough that he won't ruin your […]
David A Marcillo 4 years agoCowboys Defense Not A Strong Week 2 Option
The Dallas Cowboys Defense is not a strong Week 2 option in what could end up as a shootout against the Atlanta Falcons. While some of it came in what amounted to garbage time, the Falcons offense was still able to move the ball and put up points in Week 1 all while the Cowboys […]
David A Marcillo 4 years agoGreg Zuerlein A Good Kicking Option For Week 2
Dallas Cowboys kicker Greg Zuerlein is a strong kicking option in Week 2 fantasy lineups. With the Cowboys taking on the Atlanta Falcons in what could be the highest scoring game of the week, Zuerlein should have plenty of chances to kick field goals or tack on extra points. In Week 1, "Greg the Leg" […]
David A Marcillo 4 years agoDalton Schultz Suddenly A Starter In Week 2
Dallas Cowboys tight end Dalton Schultz is suddenly a starter after Blake Jarwin (knee) went down early in Week 1. Much more of a blocking type of tight end, Schultz still saw four targets in Week 1, catching one of them for 11 yards. With a week to practice as the starter, Schultz should be […]
David A Marcillo 4 years agoCeeDee Lamb Looks To Build On A Solid Debut In Week 2
Dallas Cowboys rookie wide receiver CeeDee Lamb will look to build on his solid NFL debut from Week 1. He'll have a much easier matchup against a soft Atlanta Falcons secondary that allowed four passing touchdowns in Week 1. Lamb caught five passes in his first game, gaining 59 yards. While he fell well short […]
David A Marcillo 4 years agoMichael Gallup Has A Good Chance To Score In Week 2
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Michael Gallup is a solid fantasy option in Week 2 against the Atlanta Falcons and has a good chance to find the end zone. Gallup had a tough matchup in Week 1 but ended up with 50 yards on three catches. The Falcons Defense, however, allowed 56 passing plays that went […]
David A Marcillo 4 years agoAmari Cooper Should Have A Good Week 2
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Amari Cooper shouldn't have too much trouble racking up fantasy points in a Week 2 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons. The Falcons secondary had no answer for any of the Seahawks wide outs in Week 1 and Cooper should add to that trend. He was targeted 14 times in Week 1 […]
David A Marcillo 4 years agoEzekiel Elliott Set To Pick Up Where He Left Off For Week 2
Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott is an excellent fantasy option in Week 2 against the Atlanta Falcons. Elliott checks in as the overall RB2 for a matchup with a Falcons Defense that ranked 29th against the run. "Zeke" scored two touchdowns in Week 1 and could easily match that this week as well. Almost […]
David A Marcillo 4 years agoDak Prescott Has An Excellent Week 2 Matchup
Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott has an excellent matchup in Week 2 against the Atlanta Falcons. The Falcons Defense was torched for 322 passing yards and four passing touchdowns in Week 1 and the Falcons secondary looked helpless for most of the game. Prescott comes in as the overall QB3 this week and should be […]
David A Marcillo 4 years agoJack Flaherty Struggles Big Time On Tuesday
St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Jack Flaherty struggled quite a bit on Tuesday, allowing nine runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out six in three innings of work. Making 2/3rds of his outs via strikeout was nice, but the 27.00 ERA won't do. This was by far Flaherty's worst start of the […]

David A Marcillo 4 years agoCowboys Defense Not Great In Week 1
The Dallas Cowboys Defense was not great in a Week 1 loss to the Los Angeles Rams. They allowed 20 points while recording one sack and one interception. The Rams were able to gain 153 yards on the ground and 269 yards through the air. The Dallas defense lost their top linebacker, Leighton Vander Esch, […]
David A Marcillo 4 years agoGreg Zuerlein Makes A Field Goal And Two Extra Points
Dallas Cowboys kicker Greg Zuerlein made a 33-yard field goal and both of his extra point tries in Sunday night's loss to the Los Angeles Rams. Zuerlein made one field goal try and missed the other. The Cowboys offense overall just didn't seem to click all that well in this one, so Zuerlein should see […]
