Tavon Austin Leads the Cowboys in Receiving
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Tavon Austin led the Cowboys in receiving in Week 6. With Amari Cooper forced to leave the game early with a quad injury, Austin was left to make five catches and gain 64 yards on six targets. The Dallas passing game wasn't working well in general, but Austin was able to […]

Dallas Cowboys rookie running back Tony Pollard ran the ball just three times in Week 6, gaining 13 yards. Like usual, Pollard looked good with the ball in his hands, but he played only when starter Ezekiel Elliott needed a breather. He's still one of the highest upside handcuffs in fantasy, but Pollard won't be […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoEzekiel Elliott Runs Well in Week 6
Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott played well in a Week 6 loss to the New York Jets. On the ground, he ran the ball 28 times for 105 yards and a touchdown. Through the air, he came up with five catches, gaining 47 yards. Elliott's score was a five-yard run in the fourth quarter. […]

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott struggled in Week 6, throwing for just 277 scoreless yards. Dak completed 28 passes on 40 tries, but was able to add 11 yards and a touchdown on the ground. The New York Jets Defense somehow managed to keep the Cowboys passing game out of the end zone, partly because […]

The Philadelphia Eagles Defense struggled against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 6, allowing 38 points. They recorded just one interception, one sack, and one fumble recovery. Stefon Diggs ran wild all over the Eagles secondary and the Vikings had no trouble moving the ball and getting it into the end zone all afternoon. The Eagles […]

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott made all of his kicks in Week 6. Elliott split the uprights on his two extra point attempts and also made field goals from 53 and 40 yards out. It was a solid performance for Elliott, who should continue to be one of the more consistent fantasy kickers going forward.
David A Marcillo 5 years agoDallas Goedert Catches Five Passes in a Week 6 Loss
Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert caught five passes in Week 6, gaining 48 yards. He was targeted eight times, and was much more involved than he'd been in previous games, with Zach Ertz seeing just one more target. Goedert is about due for a "blow up" game, but his usage remains too inconsistent to […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoZach Ertz Catches Four Passes and Loses a Fumble
Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz caught four passes in Week 6, gaining 54 scoreless yards and losing a fumble. Ertz was targeted nine times, but has now scored just one touchdown through six weeks of the season. He hasn't gone over 72 yards receiving yet either. In a position as shallow as tight end, […]

Philadelphia Eagles rookie wide receiver J.J. Arcega-Whiteside was not even targeted in Week 6. The hyped-up rookie now has two games in a row where he's drawn no targets. With DeSean Jackson (abdomen) on his way back to the field soon, Arcega-Whiteside will continue to have zero value in redraft formats.
David A Marcillo 5 years agoMack Hollins Comes Up With Nothing in Week 6
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Mack Hollins did nothing in Week 6, making no catches on two targets. Hollins was on the field in three-wide sets but only saw two balls go his way and did nothing with them. With DeSean Jackson (abdomen) targeting a Week 7 return, Hollins should return to his special teams role […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoNelson Agholor Catches Four Passes in Week 6
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Nelson Agholor caught four passes in Week 6, gaining 42 scoreless yards. He had one catch in his last two games combined, so while it was nice to see him come down with the four catches, he didn't really do much to inspire confidence in his play going forward. He simply […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoAlshon Jeffery Catches 10 Passes and Scores in Week 6
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Alshon Jeffery caught 10 passes in Week 6, gaining 76 yards and scoring a touchdown. Jeffery was faded in many rankings this week as he was taking on the Minnesota Vikings secondary, but he picked up several quick short passes and came down with a three-yard touchdown in the third quarter. […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoBoston Scott Gets Four Carries in Week 6
Philadelphia Eagles running back Boston Scott carried the ball four times in Week 6, gaining 30 yards. Scott was just elevated to the active roster from the practice squad this week, to take the place of Corey Clement (shoulder) on the running back depth chart. Scott will serve mostly in a complementary role on offense […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoMiles Sanders Scores a Touchdown in Week 6
Philadelphia Eagles rookie running back Miles Sanders made the most of his touches in Week 6. Sanders carried the ball just three times, gaining six yards. All of his damage came through the air though, where he caught three passes for 86 yards and a touchdown. The rookie's score came on a 32-yard pass from […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoJordan Howard Has a Pedestrian Week 6 Performance
Philadelphia Eagles running back Jordan Howard didn't do much in Week 6. He ran the ball 13 times, gaining 49 yards. Howard's 3.8 yards per carry average wasn't anything special, and he added nothing in the passing game. Still, he clearly ran ahead of rookie Miles Sanders, who only carried the ball three times for […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoCarson Wentz Throws for Over 300 Yards in Week 6
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz was solid despite an Eagles loss in Week 6. He threw for 306 yards, completing 26 of his 40 pass attempts. Wentz ended up with two touchdowns and threw an interception. It was the first 300 yard game since Week 1 for the Eagles quarterback, who matched up with Miles […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoCowboys Defense a Great Option in Week 6
The Dallas Cowboys Defense is a strong fantasy option for a Week 6 matchup against the New York Jets. Even with quarterback Sam Darnold (mono) expected to return, the Cowboys should have no problem getting to him through the Jets porous offensive line. If the Patriots weren't playing an injury-riddled Giants team this week, the […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoBrett Maher Looks to Bounce Back in Week 6
Dallas Cowboys kicker Brett Maher will look to bounce back from a tough Week 5 performance in Week 6 against the New York Jets. Maher made just one of his three field goal tries in Week 5, missing from 54 and 33 yards out. The Dallas offense should have no problem moving the ball in […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoJason Witten Likely to Provide More of the Same
Dallas Cowboys tight end Jason Witten will likely provide more of the same for his fantasy teams in Week 6. The Cowboys hit the road to take on the New York Jets, and while the Jets have actually been excellent at limiting opposing tight ends, Witten should still be able to come up with his […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoDevin Smith No Longer a Fantasy Option
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Devin Smith is no longer a fantasy option in most formats. With Michael Gallup back and playing well, Smith will be relegated to maybe one or two deep balls per game. That's a far too inconsistent role to trot a guy out in a standard lineup. Smith could still be worth […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoRandall Cobb Just a Desperation Play in Week 6
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Randall Cobb is little more than a desperation play in a Week 6 game against the New York Jets. Cobb has been playing an important role on the field, but it hasn't translated to much fantasy success. With the Cowboys forced to throw for almost the entire game in Week 5, […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoMichael Gallup Could Have Another Big Game in Week 6
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Michael Gallup could have another big game in Week 6 against the New York Jets. Gallup returned from a knee injury to catch seven passes in Week 5, gaining 113 yards and scoring a touchdown. He was targeted 14 times and should see heavy usage this week as well. With another […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoAmari Cooper Set Up for a Huge Week 6
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Amari Cooper is set to have an excellent Week 6 performance. Traveling to New Jersey to take on the New York Jets, Cooper is ranked as a top-five option among wide receivers this week. He's coming off a strong 11-226-1 performance against the Green Bay Packers and gets a much softer […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoTony Pollard Could Get Some Touches in Week 6
Dallas Cowboys rookie running back Tony Pollard could get a few more touches in Week 6. With the Cowboys expected to get out to a healthy lead against the New York Jets, Pollard could see some fourth quarter run as the Cowboys try to wind down the clock. It likely won't be quite as bad […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoEzekiel Elliott the Top-Ranked Week 6 Running Back
Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott is the overall No. 1 ranked running back for Week 6. The Cowboys will hit the road to play the New York Jets and should have no trouble moving the ball and scoring points. Elliott could take over the offense and see tons of touches and scoring opportunities. With […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoDak Prescott Looks For a More Even Week 6
Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott will look for a more even performance in Week 6 against the New York Jets. Prescott threw for a career-high 463 yards, but was picked off three times and threw just two touchdowns. The Packers Defense was giving him fits and forcing him to throw before he was ready much […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoEagles Defense Just OK As Week 6 Option
The Philadelphia Eagles Defense is just an OK option in Week 6. Traveling to Minnesota to take on the Vikings, the Eagles will have much more of a challenge on their hands compared to Week 5 against Luke Falk and the New York Jets. The Vikings running game has looked nearly unstoppable at times and they […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoJake Elliott a Decent Option in Week 6
Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott is a decent option for Week 6. Facing a Minnesota Vikings team that has limited opposing kickers brings Elliott's forecast down a tiny bit, but the Eagles kicker has been perfect on the season, making all five of his field goal attempts and all 14 of his extra points. The […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoDallas Goedert a Low-Upside Option in Week 6
Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert is a low-upside TE2 option in a Week 6 game against the Minnesota Vikings. Goedert has been mostly quiet this season, playing a supporting role behind Zach Ertz. Goedert has not been targeted more than three times in a game this season, and won't have any standard league value […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoZach Ertz Facing a Challenge in Week 6
Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz will face a tough Minnesota Vikings Defense in Week 6. Still, he is one of the few matchup-proof tight ends in the league and will remain a top-half TE1. Ertz scored his first touchdown last week but has remained heavily involved in the passing game and could have a […]
