Mike Evans Officially Done for the Year
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans was placed on Injured Reserve on Wednesday with a strained hamstring. Evans was already expected to miss the rest of the season after being forced to leave Week 14's game, but coach Bruce Arians seemed somewhat hesitant to state that Evans was finished for 2019. This transaction confirms […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoEagles Defense Not Recommended for Week 16
The Philadelphia Eagles Defense is not a recommended fantasy unit for Week 16 against the Dallas Cowboys. The Cowboys offense just ran all over a previously well-regarded Rams Defense in Week 15. Meanwhile, the Eagles defense had much more trouble than they should have against a bottom-tier Washington offense. It is a divisional battle for […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoJake Elliott a Good Kicking Choice in Week 16
Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott is a solid fantasy kicker for fantasy championship week. Elliott and the Eagles face off against the Dallas Cowboys in a battle for the NFC East. In what should be a close game, Elliott will likely be called upon for at least a few kicks. Last week, he made his […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoDallas Goedert a Solid Option in Championship Week
Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert is a solid fantasy tight end option for Week 16 against the Dallas Cowboys. The highly-touted but under performing Dallas defense has been exploited by tight ends all season, and with all of the Eagles wide receivers injured, Goedert and fellow tight end Zach Ertz should be the leaders […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoZach Ertz a Great Option in Week 16
Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz is a strong fantasy option in Week 16. Ertz and the Eagles will host the Dallas Cowboys in what is essentially the NFC East Championship Game. Ertz has a great matchup against a Dallas defense that has been exposed by opposing tight ends in the past. He saw 13 […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoGreg Ward a Decent Streamer in Week 16
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Greg Ward is a decent enough streaming option for a Week 16 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys. Ward will face his toughest challenge since becoming the de facto WR1 in the Eagles offense. He has seen nine targets in back-to-back games and should be in line for a similar target share […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoJ.J. Arcega-Whiteside Not a Good Fantasy Play in Week 16
Philadelphia Eagles rookie wide receiver J.J. Arcega-Whiteside is not a recommended fantasy option in Week 16 despite his increased role. With basically every other Eagles wide receiver injured, Arcega-Whiteside still hasn't been able to do anything with his starting role. He failed to record a catch last week against Washington and has made just eight […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoJordan Howard Yet to Be Cleared for Contact
Philadelphia Eagles running back Jordan Howard (shoulder) still has not been cleared for contact and appears unlikely to play in Week 16. Howard hasn't played since Week 9 and at this point it would be a surprise to see him back on the field this season. Miles Sanders will continue to dominate backfield touches for […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoNelson Agholor Seems Unlikely to Play in Week 16
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Nelson Agholor (knee) seems unlikely to suit up for Week 16. Eagles coach Doug Pederson said Agholor remains "status quo" when asked on Wednesday. The wide receiver hasn't played since Week 13. It would be huge for the Eagles if Agholor were to suit up since they have been left with […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoJay Ajayi Not Fantasy Relevant
Philadelphia Eagles running back Jay Ajayi is not a fantasy relevant player heading into Week 16. Since signing with the Eagles back before Week 12, Ajayi has received just 10 touches. He went the whole win against Washington last week without recording a statistic. He's simply working as a depth piece and should only see […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoBoston Scott Should Have a Role in Week 16
Philadelphia Eagles running back Boston Scott has risen into the change-of-pace and pass-catching running back role in the Eagles offense. With Jordan Howard (shoulder) out, rookie Miles Sanders has been dominating touches out of the backfield, but Scott has remained part of the offensive game plan. His role as the pass catcher gives him some […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoMiles Sanders Looks to Stay Hot in Week 16
Philadelphia Eagles rookie running back Miles Sanders had a huge Week 15 and will look to stay hot in Week 16 against the Dallas Cowboys. Sanders ran for 122 yards and a touchdown and caught six passes for 50 more yards and another score last week. Granted, that was against a Washington defense that couldn't […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoCarson Wentz a QB2 Option in Week 16
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz is a QB2 option for a Week 16 NFC East clash against the Dallas Cowboys. Wentz is missing pretty much every wide receiver and will be throwing to his tight ends and a guy named Greg Ward. Wentz managed three touchdown passes and 266 yards in Week 15, but that […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoCowboys Defense Okay for Week 16 Lineups
The Dallas Cowboys Defense is an okay choice for Week 16 fantasy lineups in most formats. They were strong for the first three and a half quarters in Week 15 against the Rams before some garbage time touchdowns made the final box score look a little different. With the Eagles missing almost all of their […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoKai Forbath a Good Choice in Week 16
Dallas Cowboys kicker Kai Forbath is a solid kicking option for Week 16 against the Philadelphia Eagles. Forbath had a hard time with kick offs in Week 15, but he was perfect in the kicks that matter for fantasy, going 3-for-3 on field goals and 5-for-5 on extra points. In what should be a close […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoBlake Jarwin Not a Safe Option in Week 16
Dallas Cowboys tight end Blake Jarwin is not a recommended fantasy option in most formats for Week 16. Jarwin pops up now and then with a long catch or a touchdown, but he's not playing in a consistent enough role to be trusted in a fantasy lineup, especially in fantasy championship week. Jarwin has proven […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoRyan Succop Placed on Injured Reserve; Greg Joseph Signed
Tennessee Titans kicker Ryan Succop was placed on injured reserve on Wednesday with a knee injury. Succop started the season on IR because of a knee injury, then was activated and made just one of his six field goal tries. The team had no choice but to send him back to the sidelines. They signed […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoJason Witten Not an Upside Choice for Week 16
Dallas Cowboys tight end Jason Witten is a floor option for Week 16 without much of a ceiling. Despite a highlight reel one-handed touchdown catch in Week 15, Witten ended up with just five catches for 36 yards. Without the touchdown, that would have been a floor performance. With touchdowns being so unpredictable and with […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoRandall Cobb Not a Strong Starter for Week 16
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Randall Cobb is not a recommended starting option despite a good matchup for Week 16. Cobb and the Cowboys hit the road to take on the Eagles in Philadelphia in what is more or less the NFC East championship. Cobb is coming off a one catch performance against the Rams and […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoMichael Gallup Looks to Bounce Back in Week 16
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Michael Gallup will be looking to bounce back from a disappointing Week 15 this week in Philadelphia against the Eagles. Coming off a game in which he caught just one pass, Gallup will likely be needed more in a game with enormous playoff implications. The Cowboys had no problem running the […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoAmari Cooper Should Rebound in Week 16
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Amari Cooper was an enormous disappointment in Week 15 but should be able to rebound and provide solid fantasy value in Week 16. Cooper caught just one pass last week despite the Cowboys offense dominating a suddenly hapless Rams Defense. Traveling to Philadelphia this week for a game that will determine […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoTony Pollard Likely to Slide Back Into Backup Duties
Dallas Cowboys rookie running back Tony Pollard is likely to fade back into backup duties in Week 16 against the Philadelphia Eagles. Pollard boomed in Week 15, running for over 100 yards and scoring a long touchdown, but that was largely due to game flow that is not expected to repeat this week. Pollard showed […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoEzekiel Elliott a Good Choice Despite a Tough Matchup
Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott is a strong Week 16 option in fantasy lineups despite a tough matchup on the field. The Cowboys will be in Philadelphia to take on the Eagles, who have been solid against the run this season. Still, Elliott is coming off a two touchdown game and should be relied […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoDak Prescott a Solid Choice for Week 16
Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott is a solid choice for Week 16 fantasy lineups. The Cowboys travel to Philly for what is essentially the NFC East championship game. Prescott wasn't really needed in Week 15 as the run game dominated the Rams, leading to just 23 pass attempts for the Cowboys. Before that, however, Prescott […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoMarlins Sign Matt Kemp
The Miami Marlins signed outfielder Matt Kemp to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training on Wednesday. Kemp got only 62 plate appearances in 2019, slashing just .200/.210/.283 with the Cincinnati Reds. He spent most of the rest of the season on the minor league injured list as part of the New […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoA.J. Green Unlikely to Play in 2019
Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver A.J. Green (hamstring) confirmed that he is unlikely to play for the remainder of this season. Green will be a free agent at the end of the season and has no reason to push himself and risk further injury in a lost season. Green has already stated that he'd play under […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoT.Y. Hilton Expected to Play on Monday Night
Indianapolis Colts wide receiver T.Y. Hilton (calf) is expected to play on Monday Night Football against the New Orleans Saints. Hilton hasn't played since Week 12, and even then he played an extremely limited role. Hilton was able to practice on Thursday and Friday and should be on the field on Monday barring an unexpected […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoAvisail Garcia Signs With the Brewers
The Milwaukee Brewers have signed free agent outfielder Avisail Garcia to a two-year, $20 million contract. The two sides had been reportedly "close" to a deal since before the weekend, and it seems they were finally able to agree to terms on Monday. Garcia slashed .282/.332/.464 for the Rays in 2019 and will presumably take […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoSteelers Defense Does Okay in Week 15
The Pittsburgh Steelers Defense was okay against the Buffalo Bills in a Week 15 loss. They allowed 17 points, but recorded a sack and an interception. The Steelers defensive unit will have a better matchup in Week 16 against a scuffling New York Jets team. They'll be a solid fantasy option for fantasy championship week.
David A Marcillo 5 years agoNick Vannett Makes Five Catches in Week 15
Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Nick Vannett played well in Week 15, catching five passes for 40 yards. He was targeted six times. With Vance McDonald (concussion) forced to miss the game, Vannett was the main tight end for the Steelers offense. His five catches tied for the team lead in catches. He'll be a solid […]
