Randall Cobb Makes Five Catches in Week 16 Loss
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Randall Cobb caught five passes in Week 16, gaining 73 yards. Cobb was targeted seven times, and ended up tied for second on the team with his five catches. The entire Cowboys offense struggled in this one, but Cobb's role grew from recent weeks. He could be a dart-throw option next […]

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Michael Gallup caught five passes for 98 yards in a Week 16 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Gallup made some big catches in this one, but he was targeted 11 times and could only come down with the five grabs. In a must-win game next week against Washington, Gallup should be […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoTony Pollard Fumbles in Week 16
Dallas Cowboys rookie running back Tony Pollard recorded just two carries in Week 16, not gaining a yard and losing a fumble. After a great Week 15, Pollard was useless in fantasy championship week, coming up with negative points in most fantasy formats. In a must-win matchup against Washington in Week 16, Pollard should be […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoEzekiel Elliott Goes For Just 84 Yards in Week 16
Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott totaled just 84 yards from scrimmage in Week 16. The Cowboys offense in general had a hard time getting anything going against the Eagles Defense. Elliott ran the ball 13 times for 47 yards and added seven catches for 37 more yards. Elliott actually led the team in catches […]

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott wasn't great in Week 16, losing to the Philadelphia Eagles. Prescott completed 25 of his 44 passes for 265 scoreless yards. He didn't throw an interception and added a seven yard carry on the ground. Prescott just couldn't get anything going in a week where he dealt with a shoulder […]

The Chicago Cubs signed free-agent relief pitcher Ryan Tepera to a one-year contract. The deal will pay him $900,000 if he is on the big league roster and $300,000 if he is in the minor leagues. Tepera wasn't great in 2018, posting a 4.98 ERA for Toronto, but he had a solid 3.49 ERA for […]

The Los Angeles Angels have reportedly been in contact with the agents of free-agent left-handed starting pitchers Dallas Keuchel and Hyun-Jin Ryu. The two lefties are the two best free-agent starters left on the market, and both are represented by agent Scott Boras. The Angels recently signed third baseman Anthony Rendon, so they've already chatted […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoDodgers and Padres Interested in Mike Clevinger
The Los Angeles Dodgers and San Diego Padres are two teams reportedly interested in Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Mike Clevinger. Clevinger was limited by injuries in 2019, but he was excellent whenever he was on the mound, pitching in 21 games and posting a 2.71 ERA with 169 strikeouts in 126 innings. He has the […]

The Milwaukee Brewers and free-agent first baseman Justin Smoak have agreed to terms on a one-year, $5 million contract. The deal comes with a team option for 2021 worth $5.5 million with a $1 million buyout, meaning Smoak will earn at least $6 million on the deal. He struggled mightily last season with the Blue […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoBrewers Sign Eric Sogard
The Milwaukee Brewers have agreed to sign infielder Eric Sogard to a one-year contract. The contract reportedly may contain an option for the 2021 season, but specific terms are yet to be disclosed. Sogard had a strong 2019 season for the Blue Jays and Rays, slashing .290/.353/.457 while playing multiple infield positions. He's one of […]

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver T.Y. Hilton (calf) reportedly finished Monday's game without aggravating his injury. Coach Frank Reich stated that he expects Hilton to see more playing time in the last two weeks of the season. He played just about half of the offensive snaps in a Monday Night Football loss to the Saints in […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoMike 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 […]
