Jay Ajayi Active but Doesn't Touch the Ball in Week 11

Philadelphia Eagles running back Jay Ajayi, just signed on Friday, was active for Week 11 but did not touch the ball. Rookie Miles Sanders and former special teamer Boston Scott worked out of the Eagles backfield with Jordan Howard (shoulder) inactive. Ajayi will eventually see his role grow, but he'll likely remain behind Sanders and […]

Carson 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 […]

David Montgomery Officially Active for Sunday Night Football

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 […]

Cowboys 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 […]

Brett Maher Makes Two Field Goals and Three Extra Points

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.

Blake Jarwin Catches Two Passes in Week 11

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.

Jason Witten Catches Five Passes in Week 11

Dallas Cowboys tight end Jason Witten caught five passes in a Week 11 win over the Detroit Lions, gaining 33 yards. Witten did his usual thing, catching the ball then falling to the turf. Second tight end Blake Jarwin gained 38 yards on his two targets, but Witten was still clearly quarterback Dak Prescott's first […]

Amari Cooper Clearly Limited in Week 11

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. Facing […]

Randall Cobb Scores and Gains Over 100 Yards in Week 11

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Randall Cobb played another great game in a Week 11 win over the Detroit Lions. He caught four of his seven targets, gaining 115 yards and scoring a touchdown.

Michael Gallup Gains 148 Yards in Week 11

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Michael Gallup caught nine of his 13 targets in a Week 11 victory over the Detroit Lions. He gained 1448 yards, leading the team in receptions and yards by a wide margin.

Tony Pollard Scores a Touchdown in Week 11

Dallas Cowboys rookie running back Tony Pollard only touched the ball six times on Sunday, but he did the most with his opportunities. Pollard ran the ball twice for 12 yards and caught all four of his targets for 44 yards and a touchdown. Pollard's touchdown came on a 21-yard pass from Dak Prescott in […]

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott scored two touchdowns in a Week 11 victory despite not having much room to run the entire afternoon. Elliott ran the ball 16 times, gaining 45 yards and scoring once. He added two catches for 28 more yards and another touchdown. "Zeke" has now gone two straight weeks without […]

Dak Prescott Has an Excellent Week 11

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott was excellent again on Sunday, leading the Cowboys to a 35-27 win over the Detroit Lions. Prescott completed 29 of his 46 passes for 444 yards, three touchdowns, and no interceptions. Prescott was excellent in another game where stud running back Ezekiel Elliott was mostly kept mostly to short gains. […]

Jordan Howard Not Yet Cleared for Contact

Philadelphia Eagles running back Jordan Howard is dealing with a stinger and has not been cleared for contact yet. With the Eagles facing off against the Patriots on Sunday, Howard's availability is in serious jeopardy. Darren Sproles was just ruled out for the rest of the season with a torn hip flexor, leaving rookie Miles […]

Darren Sproles Done for the 2019 Season

Philadelphia Eagles running back Darren Sproles will miss the rest of the 2019 season due to a torn hip flexor. The veteran back suffered the injury originally in Week 5 but was able to return in Week 9. Sproles missed most of last season due to injury as well, which led him to return for […]

Braves Sign Will Smith

The Atlanta Braves have signed left-handed relief pitcher Will Smith, formerly of the San Francisco Giants, to a three-year contract worth $39 million. The deal includes a club option for 2023 worth $13 million. Smith recorded 34 saves for the Giants last season along with a 2.76 ERA and 96:21 strikeout-to-walk ratio in 65 1/3 […]

Matt Breida to Miss a Game or Two

San Francisco 49ers running back Matt Breida is expected to miss "a week or two" after aggravating a low-ankle sprain in the Week 10 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. It's mostly good news, and there was some concern Breida would have to miss a more significant amount of time. Tevin Coleman will operate as the […]

Cowboys Defense a Strong Week 11 Choice

The Dallas Cowboys Defense makes for a strong addition to a Week 11 fantasy lineup. The Cowboys defense has been a bit more hype than performance so far this season, but Week 11 lines up as a good one. Taking on the Detroit Lions, who could be without quarterback Matthew Stafford, the Cowboys defense shouldn't […]

Brett Maher a Good Choice Like Always in Week 11

Dallas Cowboys kicker Brett Maher is a strong fantasy choice like usual in a Week 11 matchup against the Detroit Lions. Maher gets a boost in value in fantasy leagues that offer bonus points for distance, as he and the Cowboys have shown that they are not afraid to send out the kicker for attempts […]

Blake Jarwin Not a Starting Option in Week 11

Dallas Cowboys tight end Blake Jarwin does not make for a strong starting option in Week 11. Jarwin actually caught one more pass (three) than Jason Witten last week in a loss against the Vikings, but he was only able to turn that into 35 scoreless yards. The Detroit Lions don't do much in terms […]

Jason Witten Not a Great Week 11 Starter

Dallas Cowboys tight end Jason Witten is not a strong starting option in Week 11. Even with quarterback Dak Prescott throwing 46 passes last week against the Vikings, Witten ended up with just two catches for 17 yards. He was targeted five times, so he could have done more, but his role is still a […]

Randall Cobb Trending Up Heading Into Week 11

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Randall Cobb has been trending up lately and could have another solid performance in Week 11 against the Detroit Lions. Facing a much stronger Vikings Defense last week, Cobb caught six passes for 106 yards and a touchdown and has now caught six passes in two straight games. He'll continue to […]

Michael Gallup Set for a Strong Performance in Week 11

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Michael Gallup is set up for a strong game in Week 11 against the Detroit Lions. Gallup caught four passes for 76 yards and a touchdown last week, but he was targeted 10 times so he could have had a much bigger game. Facing a much softer defense this week, Gallup […]

Amari Cooper a Top Option Again in Week 11

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Amari Cooper makes for an excellent fantasy starter in Week 11. Cooper and the Cowboys take on the Detroit Lions and their giving defense one week after Cooper caught 11 passes for 147 yards and a score against a much stronger Vikings secondary. Cooper should have an excellent game with an […]

Tony Pollard Not a Starter in Week 11 Lineups

Dallas Cowboys rookie running back Tony Pollard remains one of the league's best handcuffs, but he is not a starting option despite that excellent upside. Pollard has received just four carries in the past two games and is firmly behind three-down back Ezekiel Elliott. The Detroit Lions Defense is generous to opposing running backs, but […]

Austin Hooper to Miss About a Month

Atlanta Falcons tight end Austin Hooper is expected to miss about a month with a sprained MCL. Hooper was leading the NFL in catches by a tight end, catching 56 passes for 608 yards and six scores. The four week timetable brings him back in Week 15 assuming everything goes well, meaning Hooper can likely […]

Ezekiel Elliott Should Bounce Back in Week 11

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott should have a strong bounce back week in Week 11 against the Detroit Lions. Elliott was shut down by the Minnesota Vikings in Week 10, running for just 47 yards on 20 carries. The Lions Defense does not offer that kind of performance, so Elliott and the Cowboys offense […]

Dak Prescott a Great Choice in Week 11 Lineups

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott is a great starting option in Week 11 fantasy lineups. Prescott is coming off a strong 397-yard performance last week and gets a Detroit Lions Defense that has been very generous to opposing quarterbacks. Prescott has emerged quite a bit this season and proved it last week when he led […]

Eagles Defense Not a Good Week 11 Fantasy Option

The Philadelphia Eagles Defense is not a recommended defensive unit for fantasy lineups in Week 11. Despite some better performances both on the field and in fantasy lately, the Eagles defense will face one of its toughest tests this week as the New England Patriots come to town coming off a bye week. The Eagles […]

Jake Elliott a Lower-End Kicking Choice for Week 11

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott is a lower-end kicking option in Week 11. With the Eagles hosting the New England Patriots and not expected to be able to do much offensively, Elliott may not get too many chances to kick the ball this week. While occasionally good defenses lead to strong fantasy kicking performances because […]
