Zach Ertz a Strong Option in Week 2
Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz is a top-three option again in Week 2. Despite taking on an Atlanta Falcons Defense that actually limits opposing tight ends fairly well, Ertz is matchup-proof and should easily put up TE1 numbers. In an ascendant offense that finally has a deep threat to spread out the defense in […]

Philadelphia Eagles rookie wide receiver J.J. Arcega-Whiteside showed in Week 1 that he's not quite a fantasy option yet this season. The rookie played just five offensive snaps in Week 1 and didn't draw a target. Based on preseason comments from head coach Doug Pederson, Arcega-Whiteside was expected to have a bit more of a […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoNelson Agholor Not a Fantasy Option in Week 2
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Nelson Agholor is not a fantasy option for Week 2. Despite a matchup that should result in plenty of points for the Eagles, Agholor is unlikely to play a large role. With the Eagles showing a strong preference for two-tight end sets with both Zach Ertz and Dallas Goedert on the […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoDeSean Jackson Could Have Another Strong Outing in Week 2
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson had an excellent Week 1 and could have another solid game in Week 2. Jackson matches up well with the Atlanta Falcons pass defense and showed in Week 1 that he still definitely has "it". With Alshon Jeffery and Zach Ertz commanding attention in the short and middle depths […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoAlshon Jeffery a Solid Choice Again in Week 2
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Alshon Jeffery is a solid fantasy wide receiver option again for Week 2. Facing off against a less-than-stellar Atlanta Falcons passing defense, Jeffery should make some noise again as he did in Week 1. Jeffery scored two touchdowns against Washington, hauling down a touchdown pass and recording a rushing touchdown on […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoCorey Clement Not a Fantasy Option for Week 2
Philadelphia Eagles running back Corey Clement is not a startable fantasy player in Week 2. Even though the Eagles aren't expected to have any trouble on offense against the Atlanta Falcons, Clement is very unlikely to make a significant impact. Clement did not record an offensive statistic in Week 1 and was only on the […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoDarren Sproles Is a Risky Week 2 Fantasy Running Back
Philadelphia Eagles running back Darren Sproles, currently leading the team in rushing, is a risky starter in Week 2 lineups. Despite a good matchup against a weak Atlanta Falcons Defense and a solid performance in Week 1, Sproles is not expected to usually play quite as big a role as he did in the win […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoJordan Howard Not a Safe Option in Week 2 Lineups
Philadelphia Eagles running back Jordan Howard is a low-floor option for Week 2. Howard saw the fewest touches in the Eagles backfield in Week 1, and wasn't consistently used for short yardage work either. Still, he did look decent and perhaps earned a few more touches going forward. Looking like a touchdown-dependent option, Howard won't […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoMiles Sanders Is An Unexciting Week 2 Fantasy Option
Philadelphia Eagles rookie running back Miles Sanders is an OK but mostly unexciting option for Week 2. Shaping up to be somewhere on the RB2/3 border, Sanders had plenty of chances in Week 1 but didn't do much with them. He was thoroughly outplayed by veteran Darren Sproles, and even Jordan Howard showed a bit […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoCarson Wentz a Top-Five Option in Week 2
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz is a top-five quarterback option in Week 2 against the Atlanta Falcons. The Falcons Defense poses no threat to Wentz, who made use of his new receiving weapon, DeSean Jackson, in Week 1. Wentz and Jackson connected for two long touchdowns and the duo are a threat to do that […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoCorey Clement Doesn't Log an Offensive Stat in Week 1
Philadelphia Eagles running back Corey Clement did not log an offensive stat in a Week 1 victory over Washington. Darren Sproles and Miles Sanders led the Eagles backfield, with Jordan Howard mixing in as well, but Clement did not get his hands on the ball at all. Clement was nursing a knee injury in the […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoCowboys Defense Has OK Debut in Week 1
The Dallas Cowboys Defense was good enough in a Week 1 win over the New York Giants. The Cowboys allowed 17 points, recording an interception and a sack. They did force three fumbles and recovered two of them. They were looking at only allowing 10 points in this one until Wayne Gallman ran in a […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoBrett Maher Kicks Five Extra Points in Week 1
Dallas Cowboys kicker Brett Maher made all five of his extra points in a Week 1 victory over the New York Giants. Maher didn't get a chance to kick a field goal, but was perfect in his extra point opportunities. A solid kicker in an ascendant offense, Maher makes for a strong option in all […]

Dallas Cowboys tight end Jason Witten scored a touchdown in his return to an NFL field. The veteran former broadcaster caught three passes, gaining 15 yards total. His touchdown came on a four-yard strike from Dak Prescott in second quarter. Witten did what Witten has always done, which is basically to catch anything that comes […]

Dallas Cowboys tight end Blake Jarwin scored a touchdown in a Week 1 victory over the New York Giants. Jarwin caught three passes, gaining 39 yards. His touchdown came on a first quarter 28-yard pass from Dak Prescott and opened up the scoring for the Dallas offense. Jarwin will split time with veteran Jason Witten […]

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Randall Cobb scored a touchdown in his first game as a Cowboy. Cobb caught four passes, gaining 69 yards. His score came on a 25-yard pass from Dak Prescott. Cobb was a distant third in the passing game pecking order to Michael Gallup and Amari Cooper, but an improved Cowboys offense […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoAmari Cooper Catches a Touchdown and Gains Over 100 Yards
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Amari Cooper had a strong opening to the season in Week 1, catching six passes for 106 yards and a touchdown. Cooper's touchdown catch was a 21-yard pass from Dak Prescott. Cooper and Michael Gallup handled things in the Cowboys passing game and should be a solid duo going forward. The […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoMichael Gallup Has a Huge Game in a Week 1 Victory
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Michael Gallup was excellent in a Week 1 win over the New York Giants. Gallup led the Cowboys in both receptions and yards, with seven catches for 158 yards. He wasn't able to come down with a touchdown, but it was still an excellent performance regardless. Amari Cooper played well too, […]

Dallas Cowboys rookie running back Tony Pollard received 13 carries in his first NFL game in Week 1. He wasn't able to find much room though, averaging just 1.8 yards per carry and totaling 24 yards on the ground. Pollard was ticketed for a much bigger role when starter Ezekiel Elliott was involved in a […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoEzekiel Elliott Scores a Touchdown in a Week 1 Win
Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott scored a touchdown in Week 1, helping his team to a comfortable win over the New York Giants. Elliott ran the ball 13 times, gaining 53 yards on the ground. His touchdown came on a solid 10-yard run. He also caught a pass for 10 more yards through the […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoDak Prescott Tosses Four Touchdowns in Week 1
Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott had an excellent opening to the 2019 season, completing 25 of his 32 pass attempts for 405 yards and four touchdowns in a Week 1 victory. Prescott also carried the ball four times for 12 yards on the ground. Overall, it was an impressive outing for Prescott and the whole […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoEagles Defense Doesn't Shine in Week 1
The Philadelphia Eagles Defense took a back seat to their impressive offense in Week 1. The Eagles beat Washington by a score of 32-27, but besides allowing 27 points to a Washington offense that was expected to struggle, the Eagles defense didn't record an interception and only had one sack. A 48-yard touchdown pass to […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoJake Elliott Makes All of His Kicks in Week 1
Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott was perfect in Week 1, hitting his lone field-goal attempt from 22 yards out and converting all three of his extra-point attempts. In an offense that should score plenty of points, Elliott is one of the better and more consistent fantasy place kicker options.
David A Marcillo 5 years agoDallas Goedert Catches Two Passes in Week 1
Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert caught two passes in Week 1, gaining 16 yards. Goedert played behind top tight end Zach Ertz, of course, but the passing game in this one was dominated by wide receivers DeSean Jackson and Alshon Jeffery. Goedert will have more productive games this season, but his upside is limited […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoZach Ertz Catches Five Passes in Week 1
Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz caught five passes in Sunday's Week 1 win, gaining 54 yards. Ertz was solid in this one, averaging over 10 yards per reception, but DeSean Jackson dominated the passing game with some help from Alshon Jeffery. Ertz will have huge weeks in this passing offense, and a game like […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoJ.J. Arcega-Whiteside Doesn't Record an Offensive Stat in Week 1
Philadelphia Eagles rookie wide receiver J.J. Arcega-Whiteside didn't record an offensive stat in Week 1. DeSean Jackson and Alshon Jeffery took over the passing game, with Nelson Agholor seeing just two catches. Arcega-Whiteside should battle with Agholor for the third spot on the receiver depth chart all season, but that may not be a particularly […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoNelson Agholor Catches Two Passes in Week 1
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Nelson Agholor caught just two passes in Week 1, gaining 11 yards. Agholor played far behind starters DeSean Jackson and Alshon Jeffery, and will likely continue in a similar role this season. It will take an injury in the wide receiver depth chart for Agholor to carve out a significant fantasy-relevant […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoAlshon Jeffery Scores Two Week 1 Touchdowns
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Alshon Jeffery scored two touchdowns in the Eagles Week 1 victory. Jeffery caught five passes, gaining 49 yards, including a five-yard touchdown. He added a rushing touchdown, taking the ball into the end zone from two yards out. Jeffery's rushing touchdown was actually the only one the Eagles scored on the […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoDeSean Jackson Runs Wild in His Return to the Eagles
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson thoroughly enjoyed his return to the Eagles offense, catching eight passes for 154 yards and two touchdowns. Jackson did exactly what the Eagles envisioned him doing, getting open deep and scoring touchdowns on 51 and 53-yard passes from Carson Wentz. Jackson looked great in this one and should have […]
