Eagles Defense Does OK in Week 9

The Philadelphia Eagles Defense did fairly well in Week 9 in a win over the Chicago Bears. After holding the Bears scoreless in the first half, the Eagles ended up allowing 14 points, all on rushing touchdowns by Bears rookie David Montgomery. The Eagles defense recorded three sacks in the contest. They'll head into their […]

Jake Elliott Makes Three Field Goals in Week 9

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott made all three of his field-goal tries in Week 9, along with one of his two extra-point attempts. Two of Elliott's field goals came from 28 yards out and the other from 38 yards. He handled most of the scoring for the Eagles in this one and should continue to […]

Nelson Agholor Catches Three Passes in Week 9

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Nelson Agholor came down with three passes in Week 9, gaining 21 yards. Agholor has fallen behind both tight ends and at least one running back in the passing game, leaving him fighting for scraps. Agholor hasn't shown anything to make fantasy owners feel like he should be a starting option […]

Alshon Jeffery Hauls In Four Passes in Week 9

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Alshon Jeffery caught four passes in Week 9, gaining 36 yards. Jeffery led the Eagles wide receivers in catches and yards, but was behind both tight ends. This was expected to be a tough matchup for Jeffery, and it was exactly that. He'll have another hard matchup against the Patriots secondary […]

Dallas Goedert Catches Four Passes in Week 9

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert caught four passes in a Week 9 win over the Chicago Bears, gaining 39 yards. Goedert had solidly outplayed Zach Ertz over the past few weeks, but Ertz went wild in this one, gaining over 100 yards. Goedert was still second on the team in receptions and yards and […]

Zach Ertz Scores and Totals Over 100 Yards in Week 9

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz broke out of a season-long slump in Week 9, catching nine passes for 103 yards and a touchdown. Ertz's score came on a 25-yard pass from Carson Wentz near the end of the first half. Ertz had looked like he was about to get passed on the depth chart […]

Darren Sproles Handles Three Offensive Touches in Week 9

Philadelphia Eagles running back Darren Sproles (quad) handled three touches on offense in his return to the lineup. He ran the ball twice for seven yards and hauled in a catch for three more yards. Sproles committed a fumble, but the Eagles were able to recover it. He will continue in his role as a […]

Miles Sanders Handles 13 Touches in Week 9

Philadelphia Eagles rookie running back Miles Sanders (shoulder) looked healthy in Week 9, running the ball 10 times for 42 yards and adding three catches for 31 more yards. Sanders was forced to leave the game in Week 8 with a shoulder injury but he played well when given the chance this week. His 13 […]

Jordan Howard Scores Another Touchdown in Week 9

Philadelphia Eagles running back Jordan Howard led the Eagles backfield again in Week 9. He scored a touchdown and gained 82 yards on 19 carries. He added another yard on his lone reception. Howard's touchdown was a 13-yard run in the third quarter. Howard out-touched Miles Sanders 20-to-13 and should continue to be the leader […]

Carson Wentz Throws Just One Touchdown in Week 9

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz led his team to another win in Week 9 despite a less-than-stellar fantasy performance. He completed 26 of his 39 passes for 239 yards and one touchdown. He added four runs for 15 more yards on the ground. Kicker Jake Elliott and the Eagles running game were all the team […]

Cowboys Defense Looks Good for Week 9 Lineups

The Dallas Cowboys Defense looks like a strong option for Week 9 fantasy lineups. Taking on the New York Giants on Monday Night Football and coming out of their bye week, the Cowboys defense could be one of the best units of the week. They were excellent in their last game against the Eagles two […]

Eagles Defense Looks to Build on a Strong Performance

The Philadelphia Eagles Defense had one of their best performances of the season in Week 8 against the Buffalo Bills and will look to build on that in Week 9 against the Chicago Bears. The Bears were able to get some offense going on the ground last week, but the Eagles front seven pose a […]

Brett Maher a Solid Kicking Option in Week 9

Dallas Cowboys kicker Brett Maher is a solid kicking option for Week 9 fantasy lineups. Maher has shown tons of leg strength this season and is an even better option in leagues with distance bonuses on field goals. The Cowboys shouldn't have much issue moving the ball against the New York Giants Defense, so Maher […]

Jake Elliott OK as a Kicker for Week 9

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott is an OK option as a fantasy kicker for Week 9. Elliott was perfect on the season heading into Week 8, but he missed an extra point in the win against the Buffalo Bills. Elliott isn't getting the kind of volume you usually like to see for a kicker in […]

Jason Witten Not a Great Starter in Week 9

Dallas Cowboys tight end Jason Witten is not a great fantasy starting option in Week 9. The Cowboys face off against the New York Giants on Monday Night Football, and despite having a bad defensive unit overall, the one thing the Giants do decently is defend opposing tight ends. Witten is ranked in the bottom […]

Dallas Goedert Looks to Continue His Ascension in Week 9

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert will look to continue his ascension into the TE1 ranks in Week 9. The Eagles take on the Chicago Bears who, despite a very strong pass defense, can be exploited by opposing tight ends. Since Week 6, Goedert has seen just one less target than "starter" Zach Ertz, but […]

Zach Ertz Hopes for a Boost in Week 9

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz is having a very disappointing season and seems somewhat at risk of falling behind Dallas Goedert in Philly. Ertz has seen 17 targets and put up 19.2 PPR points since Week 6, while Goedert has seen 16 targets and compiled 37.9 points. For the season, Ertz has a mediocre […]

Randall Cobb Not a High-Upside Play in Week 9

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Randall Cobb is a low-upside option in Week 9. Despite a great matchup on Monday Night Football against a soft New York Giants Defense, Cobb is no better than a dart-throw filler option at the position. Ezekiel Elliott, Amari Cooper, and Michael Gallup are expected to take control of this game, […]

Michael Gallup Set for a Solid Week 9

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Michael Gallup is set for a solid Week 9 performance. The Cowboys will hit the road for a Monday Night Football contest against the New York Giants and their very forgiving defense. Gallup and Amari Cooper should have no problems getting open and moving the ball downfield. Gallup is a solid […]

Amari Cooper Could Be the Top Receiving Option in Week 9

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Amari Cooper is one of the top receiving options in Week 9 and has a legitimate chance to be the WR1 overall. Cooper and the Cowboys face off against the New York Giants on Monday Night Football. The Cowboys offense should have no problem picking up yards and points against a […]

J.J. Arcega-Whiteside Not a Fantasy Consideration

Philadelphia Eagles rookie wide receiver J.J. Arcega-Whiteside is not a fantasy consideration for Week 9. The Eagles face a tough challenge against a strong Bears Defense, and Arcega-Whiteside hasn't even seen a ball thrown his way since Week 3. Anyone holding onto him in redraft formats should have let go a long time ago and […]

Mack Hollins Not Fantasy Relevant in Week 9

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Mack Hollins is not a fantasy relevant player in Week 9. With the Eagles firmly establishing a run game and heading into a matchup against a tough Chicago Bears Defense, Hollins shouldn't be anywhere near fantasy lineups. Despite starting in three-wide sets since Week 3 in place of the injured DeSean […]

Nelson Agholor Not an Option for Week 9 Lineups

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Nelson Agholor is not a starting option for most formats in Week 9. The Eagles take on the Chicago Bears and their tough defense, and Agholor has a hard time even when he's wide open. He somehow caught four passes and only gained seven total yards in Week 8. With the […]

DeSean Jackson Could Be Back in Week 9

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson (abdomen) could return in Week 9 and see the field for the first time since Week 2. Jackson is expected to practice this week, although his injury is one that is expected to linger for the rest of the season. With the Eagles bye week coming up in Week […]

Alshon Jeffery Just an OK Option for Week 9

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Alshon Jeffery is a decent, unexciting option for Week 9 fantasy lineups. Jeffery and the Eagles take on the Chicago Bears and their tough defense. The Eagles were able to establish a strong running game in Week 8, leading to quarterback Carson Wentz completing just 17 passes. It's likely that they […]

Tony Pollard Not a Starting Option in Week 9

Dallas Cowboys rookie running back Tony Pollard won't be a starting fantasy option in Week 9. Despite a great matchup against the New York Giants on Monday night, Pollard will be in his customary back seat, watching starter Ezekiel Elliott likely run circles around the Giants Defense. Pollard remains a handcuff with league-winning upside, but […]

Ezekiel Elliott Should Run for Days in Week 9

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott should have no problem putting up fantasy points in bunches in Week 9. The Cowboys will travel to New Jersey to play on Monday Night Football against the division-rival New York Giants and their very generous defense. Elliott is a top-five option at his position this week with the […]

Boston Scott Not a Safe Week 9 Option

Philadelphia Eagles running back Boston Scott is not a Week 9 fantasy option. Scott made some impressive moves in Week 8 against the Buffalo Bills, but he was on the field mostly because of the injury to Miles Sanders (shoulder). Scott may have earned a few more snaps with his play last week, but he'll […]

Darren Sproles Back to Practice; Could Play in Week 9

Philadelphia Eagles running back Darren Sproles (quad) is expected to return to practice this week and has a chance to suit up for a Week 9 game against the Chicago Bears. Sproles hasn't played or practiced since getting hurt in Week 5, and he's far from a sure thing in Week 9. Since the Eagles […]

Miles Sanders Looks to Build on a Big Game in Week 9

Philadelphia Eagles rookie running back Miles Sanders (shoulder) is expected to play in Week 9 against the Chicago Bears and will look to build on his impressive Week 8 performance against the Buffalo Bills. Sanders only had six touches in Week 8 before leaving with a shoulder injury, but he did a lot on those […]
