Devin Smith to Play a Starting Role in Week 3
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Devin Smith will potentially be working in a starting role in Week 3 against the Miami Dolphins. Smith hauled in all three of his targets for 74 yards and a touchdown in Week 2. With Michael Gallup (knee) out for this game and Randall Cobb likely sticking to the slot, Smith […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoRandall Cobb Could See a Bigger Role in Week 3
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Randall Cobb could play a larger role in Week 3, but is still not a recommended fantasy starter. Cobb has 11 targets through the first two weeks as the slot receiver for the Cowboys and could see more play with Michael Gallup (knee) missing a few games. Still, most of Cobb's […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoAmari Cooper an Easy WR1 Option for Week 3
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Amari Cooper is an easy WR1 option for Week 3. With the Cowboys taking on the inept Miami Dolphins, Cooper is being ranked as a top-five fantasy wide receiver for this week. Especially with Michael Gallup (knee) out for this one, Cooper should see a monster share of the targets from […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoTony Pollard Could Get Some Run in Week 3
Dallas Cowboys rookie running back Tony Pollard is too risky to start in Week 3 even though he could see a decent number of touches. Taking on the helpless Miami Dolphins, the Cowboys may turn to Pollard for parts of the second half in order to limit starting running back Ezekiel Elliott's snaps. Still, there […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoEzekiel Elliott Could Be the Top Running Back in Week 3
Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott should be one of the top running back options for Week 3 and has No. 1 overall upside. Taking on the tanking Miami Dolphins, Elliott should find plenty of room to run, especially since the Cowboys will likely work on the ground for most of the second half in […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoDak Prescott One of the Top Options in Week 3
Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott is one of the top fantasy quarterback options in a Week 3 game against the Miami Dolphins. Prescott threw three touchdowns in Week 2 and added 69 yards rushing. He'll face off against a barely-there Miami Dolphins team that has been outscored 102-10 through two weeks. Prescott is a surefire […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoEagles Defense Not an Exciting Week 3 Option
The Philadelphia Eagles Defense is not a particularly exciting option in a Week 3 matchup against the Detroit Lions. The Eagles defense came into the season with a lot of hype but have been mostly disappointing through the first two weeks. With two of the Eagles' top offensive playmakers likely to miss the game, the […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoJake Elliott Looking at a Strong Week 3
Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott is looking like a strong option in a Week 3 matchup against the Detroit Lions. Elliott is always a solid and consistent option, but with the Eagles expected to be missing two of their top playmakers on Sunday, Elliott may see a few more field goal attempts as the passing […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoZach Ertz Set for a Potentially Huge Week 3
Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz is set for what could potentially be an enormous Week 3 performance. Ertz saw 16 targets from quarterback Carson Wentz in Week 2 and could be in line for a similar number or perhaps even more against Detroit in Week 3. With top receiving options DeSean Jackson (groin) and […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoJ.J. Arcega-Whiteside Suddenly a Starter in Week 3
Philadelphia Eagles rookie wide receiver J.J. Arcega-Whiteside is suddenly looking at a starting role in Week 3. A preseason hero, Arcega-Whiteside was far behind on the wide receiver depth chart until both Alshon Jeffery and DeSean Jackson got hurt in Week 2. Both were forced to leave the game and Arcega-Whiteside was on the field […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoMack Hollins to See an Expanded Role in Week 3
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Mack Hollins will likely see an increased offensive role in a Week 3 contest against the Detroit Lions. With top wide receivers Alshon Jeffery and DeSean Jackson both expected to miss at least one game, Hollins will be needed on offense. He's been mostly working on special teams, but he saw […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoNelson Agholor Thrust Into a Starting Role for Week 3
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Nelson Agholor will likely be thrust into an every-down role in Week 3. With top wide receivers DeSean Jackson (groin) and Alshon Jeffery (calf) unlikely to suit up, Agholor will be wide receiver atop the depth chart. He spent the second half in Week 2 in the role, and despite some […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoCorey Clement Not a Fantasy Option in Any Format
Philadelphia Eagles running back Corey Clement is not a fantasy option in any format for Week 3. Clement has settled into a special teams role and has seen almost no offensive snaps so far this season. An injury to another running back could potentially thrust Clement into a more significant offensive role, but for now […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoDarren Sproles Not Recommended in Week 3
Philadelphia Eagles running back Darren Sproles is not a recommended fantasy option in any format in Week 3. After a somewhat surprisingly productive Week 1, Sproles took an expected step back in Week 2 and recorded just two catches for five yards. He did not record a single carry in Week 2. Sproles is a […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoJordan Howard Too Risky of a Fantasy Option in Week 3
Philadelphia Eagles running back Jordan Howard is not a recommended fantasy option in a Week 3 matchup against the Detroit Lions. Howard picked up just 18 yards on the ground in Week 2 and will only put up a decent fantasy score if he scores a touchdown. A running back that is so touchdown-dependent without […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoMiles Sanders Has an Unexciting Week 3 Matchup
Philadelphia Eagles rookie running back Miles Sanders was one of the few Eagles offensive starters to escape Week 2 without an injury, but he's still not a very exciting fantasy choice for Week 3. Taking on a decent Detroit Lions run defense, Sanders is currently ranked on the RB2/3 turn. He could make for a […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoCarson Wentz Will Likely Be Without His Best Receivers in Week 3
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz likely won't be quite as strong a fantasy option as usual against the Detroit Lions in Week 3. Wentz watched both of his top wide receivers, DeSean Jackson and Alshon Jeffery, leave the game in Week 2 with injuries. Both are officially questionable for Week 3, but most beat writers […]

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Marcell Ozuna drove in four runs on Monday, providing all of the offense for starting pitcher Dakota Hudson and the Cardinals. Ozuna went 2-for-4 with a home run and a double, scoring a run and raising his slash line to .252/.332/.495. The home run was his 28th of the season, and […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoCarlos Martinez Picks Up His 20th Save on Monday
St. Louis Cardinals closer Carlos Martinez collected his 20th save of the season on Monday, getting the last out of the game by throwing just two pitches. Martinez has been solid in his first go around as a closer, posting the 20 saves and an even 3.00 ERA. He should be a solid contributor in […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoDakota Hudson Throws Seven Strong Innings on Monday
St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Dakota Hudson threw seven great innings on Monday, allowing just two runs on five hits and two walks. Hudson was able to limit hard contact, but he didn't get too many swings-and-misses, racking up just one strikeout. Still, it was a solid performance from Hudson, who lowered his ERA to […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoEagles Defense Gets Three Interceptions in Week 2
The Philadelphia Eagles Defense had an up-and-down Week 2. They allowed 24 points to the Atlanta Falcons, but they also recorded three interceptions and a sack. It was a performance that showed what the Eagles defense could do, but also how they might struggle. Still, they performed somewhat better than expected, as this game was […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoJake Elliott Kicks Two Field Goals in Week 2
Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott made both of his field goal attempts in Week 2. His kicks came from 34 and 41 yards out. Elliott did not attempt any extra points, as the Eagles were playing from behind and decided to go for a two-point conversion after their touchdowns. Elliott should continue to be one […]

Philadelphia Eagles rookie wide receiver J.J. Arcega-Whiteside made his first NFL catch on Sunday night, gaining four yards. It was his only catch on a night where top wide receivers Alshon Jeffery and DeSean Jackson were forced to leave in the first half along with tight end Dallas Goedert. Despite all of the preseason hype, […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoDarren Sproles Gets Just Two Offensive Touches in Week 2
Philadelphia Eagles running back Darren Sproles got just two offensive touches in Week 2. He didn't record a carry, but caught two passes for five yards. Fantasy owners who misinterpreted the role Sproles played in Week 1 were left with what was basically a hole in their lineup in Week 2. Sproles is the Eagles […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoMack Hollins Catches Five Passes in Week 2
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Mack Hollins showed up in Week 2 with five catches for 50 yards. Hollins was thrust into a bigger role after Alshon Jeffery and DeSean Jackson were both forced to leave the game in the first half. Hollins could have some WR3/FLEX appeal in Week 3 if the top two wide […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoZach Ertz Catches Eight Passes in Week 2
Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz caught eight passes in Week 2, gaining 72 yards. Ertz watched wide receivers DeSean Jackson and Alshon Jeffery leave the game in the first half due to injury, but Nelson Agholor ended up drawing most of Carson Wentz's targets in the second half. Still, Ertz's weekly TE1 outlook will […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoNelson Agholor Makes the Most of His Increased Week 2 Role
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Nelson Agholor took advantage of injuries on Sunday, catching eight passes for 107 yards and a touchdown. Agholor's score came on a four-yard pass from Carson Wentz in the third quarter. With DeSean Jackson and Alshon Jeffery both forced to leave the game due to injury, Agholor took over as the […]

Philadelphia Eagles running back Jordan Howard couldn't get anything going with the ball in Week 2. He gained 18 yards on eight carries, adding eight yards on his lone catch of the game. Howard and rookie Miles Sanders both struggled with the ball even though plenty of Eagles offensive playmakers missed time due to injury. […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoMiles Sanders Can't Get Much Going in Week 2
Philadelphia Eagles rookie running back Miles Sanders couldn't get much going in Week 2. He ran the ball 10 times, gaining just 28 scoreless yards. He added three catches for nine more yards. Overall, it was a tough game for the Eagles on the ground, but Sanders did out-touch Jordan Howard by four. Sanders is […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoCarson Wentz Totals Two Touchdowns in Week 2
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz found a way to make two touchdowns happen on Sunday night despite losing his two top receivers to injuries. With DeSean Jackson and Alshon Jeffery both leaving due to injuries in the first half, Wentz was left with a preseason-like supporting cast for most of the game. Still, he threw […]
