Jordan Howard Could Be a Solid Play in Week 9

Philadelphia Eagles running back Jordan Howard could be a solid option in Week 9 despite a seemingly tough matchup against a strong Chicago Bears Defense. The Eagles were able to establish a strong running game against the Bills in Week 8, leading Howard to a season-high 96 yards on the ground. More of the same […]

Dak Prescott a Top Option for Week 9

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott is one of the top-five options at the position in Week 9. The Cowboys will hit the road for a Monday Night Football matchup against the New York Giants and their very generous defense. Prescott is being ranked somewhere from QB3-6 for this one, and should have a strong floor […]

Carson Wentz Slips Out of the QB1 Ranks for Week 9

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz has fallen out of the fantasy QB1 ranks for Week 9. The Eagles will host the Chicago Bears and their fearsome pass defense. With the Eagles really getting the running game going in Week 8, Wentz only completed 17 passes for 172 yards. A similar performance might be in store […]

Falcons Release Matt Bryant, Sign Younghoe Koo

The Atlanta Falcons have released kicker Matt Bryant. Bryant had been with the Falcons since 2009, but he made just nine of his 14 field goals this season, also missing one of his 15 extra point attempts. In a corresponding move, the team signed kicker Younghoe Koo, last seen in a real NFL game as […]

Jets Looking to Trade Le'Veon Bell on Tuesday

The New York Jets are reportedly trying to trade starting running back Le'Veon Bell before Tuesday's trade deadline. Bell has only been on the Jets for a half season at this point and is signed to a $52.5 million deal for the next three and a half seasons. A trade would leave $13.19 million worth […]

Eagles Defense Plays Well in Week 8

The Philadelphia Eagles Defense played well in a Week 8 win over the Buffalo Bills. The Eagles allowed just 13 points, and while they did not record an interception, they did get four sacks on quarterback Josh Allen. The Eagles defense has shown some glimpses of being a solid unit, but they remain a risky […]

Mack Hollins Not Even Targeted in Week 8

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Mack Hollins was not even targeted in Week 8's 31-13 win over the Buffalo Bills. Quarterback Carson Wentz completed just 17 passes total, but Hollins was not at all involved. He's been invisible in the Eagles offense despite the absence of DeSean Jackson (abdomen). Hollins isn't worth owning in fantasy outside […]

Jake Elliott Kicks a Field Goal and Two Extra Points

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott kicked a 37-yard field goal and two of his three extra points in Week 8. Elliott was perfect in Weeks 1 through 7, but he missed an extra point in Sunday's 31-13 win. Elliott remains a solid kicking option in all formats, although his overall upside is somewhat limited by […]

Zach Ertz Catches Only Two Passes in Week 8

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz only caught two passes in Week 8, gaining 20 yards. Ertz was only targeted four times, falling one behind his "backup" Dallas Goedert. It's been a very disappointing season for Ertz so far, as he's now made just eight catches in his past three games combined. He still has […]

Nelson Agholor Doesn't Do a Lot in Week 8

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Nelson Agholor was nearly useless in Week 8, catching four passes and somehow gaining only seven yards. He added two carries for seven more yards. Agholor was third on the team in targets but couldn't do anything with the ball in his hands, although him catching all of his targets was […]

Dallas Goedert Scores in Week 8

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert scored a touchdown in Week 8. He ended up with three catches on five targets, gaining 22 yards. His touchdown came in the second quarter on a five-yard strike from Carson Wentz. It was his only passing touchdown of the game. Goedert saw more targets and gained more yards […]

Alshon Jeffery Catches Four Passes in Week 8

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Alshon Jeffery caught four passes in Week 8, gaining 64 yards. Jeffery was targeted six times in a game where the Eagles kept the ball on the ground most of the time. Quarterback Carson Wentz only completed 17 passes in the 31-13 victory. Jeffery was faded on most rankings this week […]

Boston Scott Scores a Touchdown in Week 8

Philadelphia Eagles running back Boston Scott scored the first touchdown of his NFL career in a Week 8 win over the Buffalo Bills. Scott ran the ball five times, gaining just six yards but running in a four yard score in the third quarter. Scott didn't do much with his other carries, but he looked […]

Miles Sanders Does a Lot on Just Six Touches in Week 8

Philadelphia Eagles rookie running back Miles Sanders only handled six touches in Week 8, but he made the most of each one. Sanders ran the ball three times, gaining 74 yards and scoring a touchdown. He added three catches on three targets, picking up an additional 44 yards through the air. Sanders took a third […]

Jordan Howard Puts Together Another Strong Game

Philadelphia Eagles running back Jordan Howard had another successful performance in Week 8, running the ball 23 times for 96 yards and a touchdown. He added one reception for 15 more yards. Howard's touchdown came on a three-yard run in the fourth quarter. Howard has blatantly established himself as the lead back for the Eagles, […]

Carson Wentz Plays a Supporting Role in Week 8

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz played a supporting role in Week 8 as the Eagles running game ran circles around the Buffalo Bills Defense. The Eagles won easily by a score of 31-13, but Wentz completed just 17 passes for 172 yards and a touchdown. He spent most of the afternoon handing the ball off […]

Matt Ryan Ruled Out for Week 8

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan (ankle) has been officially ruled out for Week 8 against the Seattle Seahawks. Ryan was able to get in some limited practices this week but will sit out at least one game to heal from his ankle injury. The ancient Matt Schaub will get the start for the Falcons, meaning […]

Drew Brees Expected to Start in Week 8

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees (thumb) is expected to start on Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals "barring an unforeseen setback". Teddy Bridgewater did an excellent job in place of Brees, but all Saints skill position players will get a nice uptick in value with Brees under center. The Saints have a bye week next […]

Cowboys Acquire Michael Bennett from New England

The Dallas Cowboys traded for defensive end Michael Bennett, formerly of the Patriots, sending a 2021 seventh-round pick to New England. There are escalators in the trade that could turn the pick into a sixth-round pick depending on Bennett's performance. It's could be a nice boost for the Cowboys Defense, although Bennett was struggling for […]

Adrian Peterson Expected to Play on Thursday Night Football

Washington Redskins running back Adrian Peterson (ankle) is expected to play tonight on Thursday Night Football despite an ankle injury. Peterson is a very risky play against a strong Minnesota defense in a game that could get out of hand quickly for Washington. Add to that the fact that Peterson could be limited due to […]

Eagles Defense Not a Great Option in Week 8

The Philadelphia Eagles Defense is not a strong fantasy option for a Week 8 road matchup against the Buffalo Bills. While the 5-1 Bills have mostly been winning games thanks to their defense, they have an offensive unit with the potential to put up big numbers at times. The Eagles are coming off a rough […]

Jake Elliott Limited By the Eagles Offense

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott has made every single kick so far this season, but his fantasy value has suffered due to an all-around struggling offense. Elliott has only attempted eight field goals and 17 extra points, and while he's made all of them, he currently ranks as just the 20th best kicker in standard […]

Dallas Goedert Unlikely to Do Much in Week 8

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert is not a good bet to put up big numbers in Week 8. The Eagles travel to Buffalo to take on the Bills and their tough defense. Goedert led the team in receiving in Week 7 and scored a touchdown, but that's unlikely to happen again this week. Goedert […]

Zach Ertz Facing Another Tough Matchup in Week 8

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz is looking at another tough matchup in Week 8. The Eagles will be in Buffalo to take on the Bills and their difficult defense. Ertz is coming off a disappointing two-catch, 38 yard performance in Week 7 and could put up a similar performance this week. With the Eagles […]

J.J. Arcega-Whiteside Should Be Nowhere Near Your Lineup

Philadelphia Eagles rookie wide receiver J.J. Arcega-Whiteside came into the season with plenty of hype, but he has not even seen a pass thrown his way since Week 3. Arcega-Whiteside remains an intriguing dynasty/keeper player, but doesn't belong on a redraft league roster and shouldn't be anywhere close to a starting lineup. Almost all waiver […]

Mack Hollins Off the Fantasy Radar in Week 8

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Mack Hollins is completely off the fantasy radar for Week 8. The Eagles will be in Buffalo to take on the Bills, and Hollins has not made a catch since Week 4 despite starting in three-wide sets in place of the injured DeSean Jackson (abdomen). He's droppable in all but the […]

Nelson Agholor Not a Good Idea in Week 8

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Nelson Agholor is not a good idea in fantasy starting lineups for Week 8. The Eagles will be on the road going up against the Buffalo Bills and their stingy defense. Agholor has made just seven catches since Week 3, and appeared to completely give up on a very catchable pass […]

Alshon Jeffery Tough to Trust in Week 8

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Alshon Jeffery will be in a rough spot in Week 8. The Eagles will be on the road in Buffalo to battle their tough defense. With DeSean Jackson (abdomen) possibly looking at another missed game, Jeffery will receive top wideout attention from the Bills secondary. He's coming off a two-catch, 38 […]

Miles Sanders Not an Inspiring Week 8 Option

Philadelphia Eagles rookie running back Miles Sanders is not a particularly eye-opening option in a Week 8 fantasy lineup. With the Eagles on the road taking on a tough Buffalo Bills Defense, Sanders and the whole Eagles offense could struggle on Sunday. Last week against the Cowboys, Sanders ran for just 21 yards and caught […]

Jordan Howard Will Be Touchdown-Dependent in Week 8

Philadelphia Eagles running back Jordan Howard might only play a fantasy relevant role in Week 8 if he is able to score a touchdown. Howard and the Eagles travel to Buffalo to take on a tough Bills Defense. While Howard has handled almost all early-down and goal line work lately, he has not put together […]
