Carson Wentz Doesn't Do Much in Week 5

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz didn't have to do much in Week 5. With the defense absolutely dominating the New York Jets "offense" in this one, Wentz wasn't asked to do a lot. He ended up completing 17 of his 29 passes for 189 yards and one touchdown. His score was on an 11-yard pass […]

Jack Flaherty Takes the Loss on Friday

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Jack Flaherty pitched well on Friday but took the loss in Game 2 of the National League Division Series. Flaherty tossed seven innings, allowing three runs on eight hits and a walk. He struck out eight, throwing 117 pitches. The Cardinals were unable to score any runs on Friday, saddling […]

Eagles Defense a Streaming Option in Week 5

The Philadelphia Eagles Defense has mostly struggled this season, but should still be a decent streaming option in Week 5. Taking on an anemic New York Jets option at home, the Eagles shouldn't have too much trouble keeping points off the board. Even with Sam Darnold (mono) expected to return, the Jets offense is still […]

Jake Elliott Should Be Solid Again in Week 5

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott should be a solid fantasy kicking option in Week 5. With the Eagles as almost two-touchdown favorites at home against the New York Jets, Elliott should be called on to kick several times. The only real risk here is that the Eagles won't need Elliott's leg for field goals and […]

Dallas Goedert Only a Deep League Option in Week 5

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert is only an option in deep leagues and two-tight end formats in Week 5. Even though the New York Jets Defense struggles in the passing game, they actually cover opposing tight ends fairly well. Like usual, Zach Ertz will get most of the tight end targets, leaving Goedert as […]

Zach Ertz Should Be a Top-Tier Tight End in Week 5

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz should be a top-three tight end option in Week 5. The Eagles will host the New York Jets, and while the Jets Defense has been soft in the passing game, they've actually defended opposing tight ends quite well. Still, Ertz is not just any tight end and it looks […]

J.J. Arcega-Whiteside Could Get Some Playing Time in Week 5

Philadelphia Eagles rookie wide receiver J.J. Arcega-Whiteside has been disappointing so far, but could have one more week to get right and a good matchup in which to do it. The Eagles take on an easy New York Jets passing defense, and DeSean Jackson (abdomen) is looking like he'll miss one more game. Arcega-Whiteside hasn't […]

Mack Hollins Could Be Relevant for One More Week

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Mack Hollins could have fantasy relevance one more time in Week 5. With DeSean Jackson (abdomen) shaping up to miss another game, Hollins should get some run in three-wide sets against a barely-there New York Jets secondary. While Alshon Jeffery should be the star of the passing game, Hollins has only […]

Nelson Agholor Looks for a Better Game in Week 5

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Nelson Agholor will hope to improve on his disastrous Week 4 performance this week. Held without a catch in Week 4, Agholor will likely get another week without DeSean Jackson (abdomen) in the starting lineup. Facing off against a soft New York Jets secondary, Agholor could see a fair number of […]

Alshon Jeffery Has a Good Matchup in Week 5

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Alshon Jeffery has a good matchup against the New York Jets in Week 5. Jeffery scored a touchdown against a strong Green Bay Packers Defense in Week 4, and now he gets a much softer secondary to fight against in Week 5. In a game the Eagles are favored by almost […]

Darren Sproles Not a Fantasy Option for Week 5

Philadelphia Eagles running back Darren Sproles is not a fantasy option in a Week 5 game against the New York Jets. Sproles saw just one touch in Week 4, gaining four yards on the ground. He had a surprisingly large role on offense in Week 1, but has been mostly relegated to special teams since. […]

Miles Sanders Not Exciting as a Week 5 Option

Philadelphia Eagles rookie running back Miles Sanders is an unexciting RB3 option in Week 5, although he does carry some upside. Sanders ran for 72 scoreless yards in Week 4 while watching Jordan Howard score three touchdowns. More of the same could happen this week with the Eagles as big home favorites against the New […]

Jordan Howard Could Score Some More in Week 5

Philadelphia Eagles running back Jordan Howard is a decent fantasy running back option for Week 5. Howard just scored three touchdowns against the Green Bay Packers and while he may not find the end zone three times again against the New York Jets in Week 5, he should at least get a few chances to […]

Carson Wentz a Strong Option in Week 5

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz is a strong fantasy option in Week 5. The Eagles will take on the New York Jets at home and should have little trouble moving the ball against them. Wentz is coming off a three-touchdown performance against a strong Green Bay Packers Defense, and could have a similar or even […]

Cowboys Defense Just a Middling Option in Week 5

The Dallas Cowboys Defense is just an okay option in fantasy lineups in Week 5. With the Cowboys and Green Bay Packers battling on Sunday and Green Bay quarterback Aaron Rodgers coming off a 422-yard performance, it's hard to rank the Cowboys defense as high as they've been in previous weeks. They're not a unit […]

Brett Maher Could Have a Big Day in Week 5

Dallas Cowboys kicker Brett Maher could be a strong choice as a fantasy kicker in Week 5. Although Maher has been effective when called upon this season, it hasn't translated into a ton of success in fantasy lineups. The Cowboys host the Green Bay Packers this week though, and in what should be a close […]

Blake Jarwin Not a Startable Tight End in Week 5

Dallas Cowboys tight end Blake Jarwin is not much of a starting option in most formats in Week 5. With the Cowboys going up against a good Green Bay Packers Defense, Jarwin is unlikely to be heavily involved. He's coming off a three-catch game against the Saints and would do well to match that total […]

Jason Witten Shaping Up as a Safe Choice in Week 5

Dallas Cowboys tight end Jason Witten is looking like a safe, low-upside choice for Week 5. With the Cowboys expected to rely mostly on the running game and short passes against a strong Green Bay Packers pass defense, Witten could see a few more targets than usual. He'll likely do what he's done his whole […]

Devin Smith Not a Week 5 Fantasy Option

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Devin Smith is not a starting option in almost any format for Week 5. The Cowboys will be fighting against a strong Green Bay Packers pass defense, and Smith's game simply doesn't match well with the Packers defensive game plan. Smith has been serving as Dak Prescott's deep threat, but with […]

Randall Cobb Not Worth a Start in Week 5

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Randall Cobb is not worth a start in most fantasy formats for Week 5. With the Cowboys taking on a difficult Green Bay Packers Defense, this game will likely be played through running back Ezekiel Elliott. Cobb could be around to snag a few short passes and could even score an […]

Amari Cooper Has a Tough Matchup With the Packers in Week 5

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Amari Cooper has a tough matchup with the Green Bay Packers secondary coming up in Week 5. The Packers Defense has been great at limiting opposing passing games, featuring a strong secondary and a fearsome pass rush. Still, Cooper's talent should allow him to come down with at least a few […]

Tony Pollard Just a Backup for Week 5

Dallas Cowboys rookie running back Tony Pollard is just a backup for a Week 5 game against the Green Bay Packers. Even though the Packers Defense isn't great against opposing run games, Pollard is coming off a zero-touch game against the Saints and won't be heavily involved in the game plan on Sunday. The Cowboys […]

Ezekiel Elliott an Easy RB1 Choice in Week 5

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott is an easy RB1 choice in all fantasy formats in Week 5. The Cowboys will face off against the Green Bay Packers, a defense that has been great at shutting down passing games but not so much with running games. The Cowboys offense should run through "Zeke" in this […]

Dak Prescott Has a Tough Matchup in Week 5

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott has a tough matchup in Week 5 against the Green Bay Packers. Coming off a game in which he struggled against the Saints last week, Prescott gets a strong Packers secondary and pass rush to deal with this week. He's still a QB1 in fantasy, but he's more in the […]

Cowboys Defense Plays Well in Week 4

The Dallas Cowboys Defense played well in Week 4, limiting the New Orleans Saints to just 12 points. The defensive unit recorded five sacks and an interception as well. While the Saints were occasionally able to find some holes in the defense, they were never able to get the ball into the end zone, scoring […]

Brett Maher Kicks a Field Goal and an Extra Point

Dallas Cowboys kicker Brett Maher kicked a field goal and an extra point in Week 4. The Cowboys offense struggled to move the ball on Sunday Night Football, but Maher still did everything that was asked of him. His field goal came from 28 yards out. It's been a somewhat disappointing fantasy season for Maher […]

Devin Smith Can't Catch His Lone Target in Week 4

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Devin Smith wasn't able to catch his only target in a Week 4 loss. Smith had a larger role last week and was expected to serve as the deep threat with Michael Gallup (knee) out, but the Cowboys couldn't get much of anything going against a strong Saints Defense. Smith's fantasy […]

Randall Cobb Catches Just Three Passes in Week 4

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Randall Cobb caught just three of his six targets in Week 4, gaining 41 yards. Even without Michael Gallup (knee) in the lineup, Cobb hasn't been able to do much to remind anyone of his solid seasons as a Green Bay Packer. Cobb and the Cowboys will take on the Packers […]

Amari Cooper Kept Under Control by the Saints

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Amari Cooper came into a Week 4 contest against the New Orleans Saints tied for the league lead in touchdowns. He mostly had a hard time getting anything going in the loss though, catching five passes for 48 scoreless yards. Cooper was targeted eight times, but was ultimately outgained by tight […]

Blake Jarwin Gains 49 Yards in Week 4

Dallas Cowboys tight end Blake Jarwin caught three passes on Sunday Night Football, gaining 49 yards. Jarwin ended up only one yard shy of leading the team in yards, falling behind fellow tight end Jason Witten's 50 yards. Jarwin has made some nice plays, but he'll keep playing behind Witten and won't have a consistent […]
