Jason Witten Just a Floor Play in Week 12
Dallas Cowboys tight end Jason Witten is no more than a floor play, at best, in Week 12 and is better left on most fantasy benches. With the Cowboys in New England to face the Patriots, Witten could end up with something like his two-catch, 17-yard performance against the Vikings. Witten is one of the […]

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Randall Cobb has been excellent for two games in a row and will look to keep it going in Week 12 against the New England Patriots. Cobb has two straight weeks of over 100 yards receiving and a touchdown. Despite the excellent defense of the Patriots, Cobb has a chance to […]

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Michael Gallup is a strong WR2 play despite a tough matchup in Week 12. The Cowboys will be in New England to take on the Patriots and their top-tier defense. With Amari Cooper (knee) at less than 100 percent, Gallup could be asked to pick up some of the slack. He […]

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Amari Cooper (knee) is a risky but potentially high-upside play in a Week 12 contest against the New England Patriots. Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has already stated that Cooper is expected to play this week. He toughed it out last week, appearing on 55 percent of the offensive snaps. With another […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoTony Pollard Off the Fantasy Radar in Week 12
Dallas Cowboys rookie running back Tony Pollard is not on the fantasy radar in Week 12. The Cowboys will be on the road facing the New England Patriots and the Patriots elite defense could give the Cowboys offense a hard time. With the team not expected to be able to move the ball particularly well, […]

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott is coming off two straight ineffective running games and could have another lined up for Week 12 against the New England Patriots and their elite defense. Elliott has been able to maintain RB1 status thanks to finding the end zone twice last week, but he's only run for 47 […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoDak Prescott Will Face a Tough Defense in Week 12
Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott has been excellent this season, but he will face his toughest challenge of the season in Week 12. The Cowboys hit the road to take on the New England Patriots and their top-ranked defense. Coming off an impressive 444-yard, three-touchdown game, Prescott's forecast is quite a bit more modest than […]

The Philadelphia Eagles Defense mostly held their own against the New England Patriots offense despite a 17-10 loss in Week 11. The Eagles allowed 17 points, but didn't record any turnovers. They were able to sack Tom Brady just once. The Eagles won't be a recommended defensive unit in fantasy lineups next week against Russell […]

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott made both of his kicks in Week 11, one field goal and one extra point. His field goal came from 42 yards out and gave the Eagles an early but quite temporary lead. Elliott wasn't expected to do much this week as the whole Eagles offense predictably struggled. He should […]

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Mack Hollins was targeted just once in Week 11, but was unable to come down with a catch.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Jordan Matthews was targeted six times in Week 11 but only came up with one catch, gaining six yards. Matthews was forced into a larger role with Alshon Jeffery (ankle) inactive, but he wasn't able to really do anything with the opportunity. Working as merely a depth piece and a warm […]

Philadelphia Eagles rookie wide receiver J.J. Arcega-Whiteside made his first catch since Week 3 in a Week 11 loss to the New England Patriots. Arcega-Whiteside hasn't done much this season even with DeSean Jackson (abdomen, IR) and Alshon Jeffery (ankle) forced to miss some time. The rookie showed his upside today though, making a huge […]

David A Marcillo 5 years agoCarson Wentz Predictably Struggles in Week 11
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz struggled in Week 11 as expected. Facing off against an elite New England Patriots Defense, Wentz completed just 20 of his 40 passes for 214 yards and one touchdown. Wentz's score came early in the game on a first quarter five-yard pass to tight end Dallas Goedert. Wentz had some […]

Chicago Bears running back David Montgomery (ankle) is officially active for Sunday Night Football. Montgomery missed practice most of the week with an ankle injury and was listed as a game-time decision. He looked good enough in a limited Friday practice and in pre-game warmups to keep himself off the inactive list. He remains a […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoCowboys Defense Disappoints in Week 11
The Dallas Cowboys Defense was disappointing again in Week 11. They managed a win, 35-27 over the Detroit Lions, but with Matthew Stafford (back) out for the Lions, the Cowboys defense was one of the top predicted units of the week. Instead, they allowed 27 points and did not record an interception or a fumble […]

Dallas Cowboys kicker Brett Maher made all of his kicks in Week 11, making two field goals and three extra points. He wasn't needed for any long kicks this time, making a long of just 34 yards, but he still showed the consistency that makes him one of the better kickers in fantasy football.

Dallas Cowboys tight end Blake Jarwin was targeted twice in Week 11, catching both passes for 38 yards. He fell significantly behind starter Jason Witten, who saw seven targets and caught five passes.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Amari Cooper (knee, ankle) was clearly not operating at 100% in Week 11. He ended up being on the field for just 56% of the team's offensive snaps, but the game plan still kept him somewhat involved, as he saw eight targets. He caught three of them, gaining 38 yards.
