Zach Ertz a Top-Tier Tight End in Week 12
Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz hasn't had the season he, the Eagles, or his fantasy owners wanted, but he's a solid bet to have a strong Week 12 against the Seattle Seahawks. The Seahawks Defense does fairly well against opposing running backs and wide receivers, but tight ends have been able to exploit them […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoNelson Agholor Could Have Another Large Role in Week 12
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Nelson Agholor could play a big role again in Week 12 when the Eagles host the Seattle Seahawks. With Alshon Jeffery (ankle) questionable after missing Week 11, Agholor could again serve as an incredibly overmatched WR1 for Carson Wentz. Agholor had a hard time catching the football in Week 11 as […]

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Alshon Jeffery (ankle) will be an OK fantasy option in Week 12 if he recovers from his ankle injury. Jeffery was forced to miss Week 11's loss to the New England Patriots, but he was back at practice on Wednesday. If he is ultimately cleared to play, he'll be quarterback Carson Wentz's […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoJay Ajayi Likely to Have Some Kind of Role in Week 12
Philadelphia Eagles running back Jay Ajayi is likely to have some kind of a role on offense in Week 12. Ajayi was active in Week 11 but never saw the field. He was in uniform despite having signed with the team just two days earlier. With a full week of practice now, Ajayi should see […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoBoston Scott's Week 12 Role Up in the Air
Philadelphia Eagles running back Boston Scott may or may not have a fantasy significant role in Week 12. The Eagles take on the Seattle Seahawks in Philly, but whether or not Scott plays significant snaps depends on the availability of Jordan Howard (shoulder). Howard is questionable at best at this point after missing Week 11, […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoJordan Howard a Risky Choice If Active for Week 12
Philadelphia Eagles running back Jordan Howard (shoulder) is a risky choice in Week 12 fantasy lineups assuming he is cleared to play. Currently questionable at best after missing Week 11, Howard is set for a date with the Seattle Seahawks Defense. If fully healthy, Howard would be a middling RB2 for this contest, but given […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoMiles Sanders Should Have a Large Role in Week 12
Philadelphia Eagles rookie running back Miles Sanders should have a significant role in Week 12's matchup with the Seattle Seahawks. With Jordan Howard (shoulder) questionable at best to play, Sanders will have a prominent backfield role once again. He was shut down by the Patriots in Week 11 with Howard out of the picture, running […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoCarson Wentz Just a QB2 for Week 12
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz will be a QB2 for a Week 12 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks. Wentz is coming off an inconsistent performance against the Patriots in Week 11 in which he completed just 20 of his 40 pass attempts for 214 yards and one touchdown. The Seahawks Defense is not as talented […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoCowboys Defense Not a Great Week 12 Choice
The Dallas Cowboys Defense is not a highly recommended fantasy option for a Week 12 lineup. The Cowboys will be on the road to take on the New England Patriots, and it's always tough to recommend a fantasy defense against Tom Brady's squad. The Giants and Lions defensive units could be on some league's waiver […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoBrett Maher Fine as a Week 12 Kicker
Dallas Cowboys kicker Brett Maher is a decent but not particularly high-upside kicking option in Week 12. The Cowboys will be on the road to face the New England Patriots and could struggle to score, limiting Maher's chances. There's always the possibility that the Patriots Defense causes the Cowboys to stall on offensive drives, leading […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoBlake Jarwin Not a Fantasy Option for Week 12
Dallas Cowboys tight end Blake Jarwin is not a starting option in most fantasy lineups in Week 12. Jarwin and the Cowboys will be in New England to take on the Patriots and their great defense. Jarwin has yet to catch more than three passes in a game this season and despite his occasional touchdowns […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoJason 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 […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoRandall Cobb Looks to Stay Hot in Week 12
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 […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoMichael Gallup a Strong WR2 for Week 12
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 […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoAmari Cooper a Risky but High-Upside Play for Week 12
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, […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoEzekiel Elliott Could Be Touchdown-Dependent in Week 12
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 […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoAmari Cooper Expected to Play in Week 12
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Amari Cooper (knee) is expected to play in Week 12 against the New England Patriots. Cowboys owner Jerry Jones himself is the source here, who said he expects his top wide receiver to play in a huge game against the 9-1 Patriots. Cooper played on just 55 percent of offensive snaps […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoMark Walton Waived by the Dolphins
The Miami Dolphins waived running back Mark Walton on Tuesday morning. Walton was already suspended for violating the league's personal conduct policy, but the Dolphins were, "made aware of a police matter earlier this morning regarding Walton" according to Dolphins General Manager Chris Grier. Kalen Ballage will continue as the lead back for the Dolphins […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoEagles Defense Has an Uninspiring Game in Week 11
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 […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoJake Elliott Makes Two Kicks in Week 11
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 […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoMack Hollins Targeted Just Once in Week 11
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Mack Hollins was targeted just once in Week 11, but was unable to come down with a catch. Despite all the injuries to Eagles wide receivers, Hollins has not made a catch since Week 4. He can be safely dropped in all formats, as it seems Jordan Matthews has passed him […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoJordan Matthews Catches Just One Pass in Week 11
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 […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoJ.J. Arcega-Whiteside Makes His First Catch Since Week 3
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 agoNelson Agholor Catches Four Passes in a Week 11 Loss
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Nelson Agholor caught four passes in Week 11, gaining 40 yards. He was targeted nine times and as he always does, made some key drops. Without DeSean Jackson (abdomen, IR) and Alshon Jeffery (ankle), Agholor saw more targets than usual but still wasn't able to do much. He came up with […]

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert caught the only touchdown the Eagles scored in a Week 11 loss to the New England Patriots. Goedert ended up with three catches for 36 yards. His score came on a five-yard pass from Carson Wentz at the end of the first quarter to give the Eagles a 10-0 […]

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz led the Eagles in receiving on Sunday, catching nine passes for 94 yards. Ertz was targeted 11 times and made some huge catches even in a game where the Eagles offense struggled as a whole. Ertz was able to get open against a tough New England Patriots Defense and […]

Philadelphia Eagles running back Boston Scott carried the ball seven times in Week 11, gaining 26 yards. He was not targeted in the passing game. Scott fumbled, but the Eagles recovered the ball.

Philadelphia Eagles rookie running back Miles Sanders led the Eagles backfield in Week 11 but wasn't able to do much against an excellent New England Patriots Defense.
