J.J. Arcega-Whiteside Could Be Headed Back To Bench
Philadelphia Eagles rookie wide receiver J.J. Arcega-Whiteside was expected to play a significant role in Week 3, but he ended up catching just one pass for 10 yards. With starters DeSean Jackson (groin) and Alshon Jeffery (calf) both out in Week 3, Arcega-Whiteside was on the field for plenty of offensive plays, but he was […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoMack Hollins Should Still Have a Role in Week 4
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Mack Hollins should still have an offensive role in Week 4. Facing off against the Green Bay Packers on Thursday Night Football, Hollins will benefit from DeSean Jackson (abdomen) missing another week. With Alshon Jeffery (calf) expected to return to the lineup, Hollins won't have quite as big a role as […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoNelson Agholor Should Still Have an Expanded Role in Week 4
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Nelson Agholor should maintain an expanded role in Week 4. With both Alshon Jeffery and DeSean Jackson out in Week 3, Agholor took on the role of Carson Wentz's number one wide receiver and gave the Eagles an all expenses paid trip on "Nelson Agholor's Wild Ride". He scored a touchdown […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoAlshon Jeffery Should Be a Decent Week 4 Option
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Alshon Jeffery (calf) is expected to play on Thursday Night Football in Week 4 and should be a solid option in fantasy lineups. Jeffery missed the second half in Week 2 and was inactive in Week 3, but he was able to practice in full on Tuesday and Wednesday and should […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoCorey Clement Completely Off the Fantasy Radar in Week 4
Philadelphia Eagles running back Corey Clement is completely off the fantasy radar for Week 4. Clement was inactive in Week 3 due to a shoulder injury, but even when healthy he's been relegated almost exclusively to special teams. Clement has yet to record an offensive statistic and is unlikely to see much playing time unless […]

Philadelphia Eagles running back Darren Sproles has been mostly phased out of the offense and is not a starting option in Week 4 fantasy matchups. Sproles had 11 touches in Week 1 and looked like a legitimate fantasy running back, but has totaled just five touches since then. He maintains his key role on special […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoJordan Howard A Touchdown-Dependent Week 4 Option
Philadelphia Eagles running back Jordan Howard will likely need to score a touchdown in order to make himself a fantasy-relevant option on Thursday Night Football in Week 4. Howard has been playing behind rookie Miles Sanders and has just 99 yards total in the first three games of the season. He did score a touchdown […]

Philadelphia Eagles rookie running back Miles Sanders will try to keep the ball off the ground in Week 4. Sanders fumbled twice in Week 3 and had seriously concerning fumbling issues in college. Still, he was able to pick up 53 yards on 13 carries and 73 yards on two catches against the Lions. He […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoCarson Wentz An OK Option For Week 4
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz is just an OK option as a fantasy starter in Week 4. Wentz was blamed for several things that were not realistically his fault in Week 3, but those same things -- like blatant drops and careless fumbles from his skill players -- could resurface in Week 4 against the […]

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Jack Flaherty was masterful on Tuesday night. He took a no-hitter into the seventh inning before ultimately settling for allowing just one hit in seven innings. He walked two and struck out 11. Flaherty has been one of the best pitchers in the universe since the All-Star Game, bringing his […]

Cleveland Indians rookie outfielder Oscar Mercado hit a home run on Tuesday, ending up 1-for-5 with a run scored and three RBI.

David A Marcillo 5 years agoMike Clevinger Throws Seven Excellent Innings on Tuesday
Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Mike Clevinger pitched seven shutout innings on Tuesday, allowing just five hits and one walk. Clevinger struck out 10 and threw 92 pitches on the night. Cleveland coasted to an 11-0 win, but Clevinger was in control the whole time. He's 13-3 with a 2.39 ERA and should be among the […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoAdam Wainwright Gives Up Five Runs in Five Innings
St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Adam Wainwright wasn't at his best on Monday night. He allowed five runs on eight hits and two walks in five innings, striking out six. Wainwright tossed an even 100 pitches, 67 for strikes. With the Cardinals having clinched a playoff spot, Wainwright may get one more tune up start […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoEagles Defense Struggles in Week 3
The Philadelphia Eagles Defense struggled in a Week 3 loss to the Detroit Lions. The Eagles lost 27-24, and the defense did not force a fumble nor collect a sack. It was a rough day overall for the Eagles, who suffered from key drops on offense and blown coverages on defense. A defensive unit that […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoJake Elliott Makes a Field Goal and Three Extra Points in Week 3
Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott made all of his kicks in Week 3, putting up a 25-yard field goal and three extra points. Elliott didn't get as many chances as expected to kick field goals, but he was still accurate as ever. He should keep being a solid fantasy kicker on a good offensive team.

Philadelphia Eagles rookie wide receiver J.J. Arcega-Whiteside caught just one pass in Week 3, gaining 10 yards. The rookie was expected to take on a bigger role in Week 3 since DeSean Jackson (groin) and Alshon Jeffery (calf) were both out, but instead it was Nelson Agholor and Mack Hollins taking on the brunt of […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoNelson Agholor Scores Two Touchdowns in Week 3
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Nelson Agholor scored two touchdowns in Week 3, catching eight passes for 50 yards. Agholor's touchdowns came on a 20-yard pass in the third quarter and a two-yard pass late in the fourth. It was a full Agholor game, as he also dropped some key passes on critical plays. Agholor's expanded […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoMack Hollins Catches Four Passes in Week 3
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Mack Hollins caught four passes in a Week 3 loss, gaining 62 yards. Hollins played a bigger role in this one with DeSean Jackson (groin) and Alshon Jeffery (calf) out. Rookie J.J. Arcega-Whiteside was expected to play a larger role than Hollins, but it was Hollins that made more noise on […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoZach Ertz Catches Four Passes in Week 3
Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz caught four passes in Week 3, gaining 64 yards. Ertz was expected to be a target monster with Alshon Jeffery (calf) and DeSean Jackson (groin) out, but the Eagles ran most of their offense through Nelson Agholor and the running game. Ertz disappointed a bit this week, but should […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoCowboys Defense Does Well As Expected Against The Dolphins
The Dallas Cowboys Defense did about as well as expected against an always-scuffling Miami Dolphins team in Week 3. They allowed just six points on two field goals, adding three fumbles (one lost) and three sacks. They were unable to come up with any interceptions, but it was still a strong performance as expected. The […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoBrett Maher Makes a Field Goal and Four Extra Points in Week 3
Dallas Cowboys kicker Brett Maher made one of his two field goal attempts and all four of his extra points in Week 3. Maher missed a 55-yarder, but made a 28-yard kick and was perfect on extra point attempts. Maher should be one of the more consistent kickers in the NFL going forward, especially once […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoBlake Jarwin Makes Just One Three-Yard Catch in Week 3
Dallas Cowboys tight end Blake Jarwin didn't do much in Week 3, catching just one pass for a three-yard gain. Jason Witten made three catches and the Cowboys passing game as a whole wasn't needed much in Week 3, so there wasn't much left for Jarwin. Jarwin has shown some promise here and there, but […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoRandall Cobb Catches Two Passes in Week 3
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Randall Cobb caught just two passes in Week 3, gaining 23 yards. Cobb was thought to perhaps take on a larger role with the absence of Michael Gallup (knee), but the Cowboys passing game as a whole took a break as the team coasted to an easy win against the fish-out-of-water […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoDevin Smith Comes Down With Two Passes in Week 3
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Devin Smith caught two passes in Week 3, gaining 39 yards. Smith was expected to have an expanded role with Michael Gallup (knee) out, but with the Cowboys easily coasting against the Miami Dolphins, the passing game was mostly not needed. Smith should have a decent role next week, but will […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoJason Witten Catches Three Passes in Week 3
Dallas Cowboys tight end Jason Witten caught three passes in a Week 3 win. His three catches gained 54 yards, as Witten rumbled for way more yardage than his usual "catch-and-fall" game. Many fantasy owners likely expected Witten to come down with a score against the Miami Dolphins "defense," but the Cowboys actually were only […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoAmari Cooper Scores Two Touchdowns in Week 3
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Amari Cooper scored two touchdowns in Week 3. He caught six passes, gaining 88 yards. His first touchdown was on a first quarter five-yard pass from Dak Prescott, and his second came on a 19-yard strike in the third quarter. Cooper played well in a game against the useless Miami Dolphins […]

Philadelphia Eagles running back Darren Sproles recorded just two touches on offense in Week 3. He ran the ball twice, gaining just four yards. He was unable to come up with anything in the passing game. With Alshon Jeffery (calf) and DeSean Jackson (groin) out, some expected Sproles to take on an increased role, but […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoJordan Howard Scores a Touchdown in Week 3
Philadelphia Eagles running back Jordan Howard found the end zone in Week 3. Howard ran the ball 11 times for just 37 yards, but ran in a one-yard goal line score in the first quarter. Howard didn't make an impact in the passing game. Rookie running back Miles Sanders saw 13 carries, so Howard was […]

Philadelphia Eagles rookie running back Miles Sanders had some ups and downs in Week 3. He ran the ball 13 times for 53 yards and added two catches for 73 yards, but fumbled twice, losing one. Sanders had real fumbling issues in college and they seem to have followed him to the NFL, but he […]
