Carson Wentz Could Have a New Backup Soon

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz could be working with a new backup soon. Wentz has sat out the preseason so far but has seen Nate Sudfeld (wrist) and Cody Kessler (concussion) get hurt under center. Rookie Clayton Thorson is the only one left on the depth chart, and since the Eagles certainly don't want their […]

Alshon Jeffery Should Be a Solid Option This Season

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Alshon Jeffery should be a solid option in all fantasy formats this season. Jeffery sits atop the receiving depth chart on a team that should feature a strong offense. While there are a lot of mouths to feed in Philly, Jeffery provides the touchdown upside that is absent in some of […]

Zach Ertz Could See Fewer Targets in 2019

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz could see fewer targets in 2019, according to Zack Rosenblatt of NJ.com. The Eagles added several pass-catchers in the offseason and saw tight end Dallas Goedert excel in limited chances last season. Ertz will still be an unquestioned TE1 if he stays healthy, but he just won't have the […]

Noah Brown Fighting for a Roster Spot

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Noah Brown is fighting for a roster spot on the receiver depth chart behind Amari Cooper, Randall Cobb, Michael Gallup, and Tavon Austin. The first three will start on offense and Austin plays a role on special teams. The departure of Allen Hurns gives Brown a better chance to lock down […]

Tavon Austin Looking at Punt-Return Duties This Season

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Tavon Austin should have punt-return duties all to himself this season. He split the work with Cole Beasley last season, but with Beasley gone, Austin should be the unquestioned returner for punts. Austin was allegedly going to get "12-24 touches" per game last season and then ended up with 14 total […]

Jason Witten "Better, Stronger and Faster" This Season

Dallas Cowboys tight end Jason Witten is "better, stronger and faster" than he was before, according to quarterback Dak Prescott. Witten took a year off to work in the broadcast booth but couldn't stay away too long. He's atop the Cowboys tight end depth chart but should cede some playing time to Blake Jarwin and […]

Alfred Morris Could Surprise in 2019

Dallas Cowboys running back Alfred Morris could be a surprising source of fantasy value in 2019. It all depends on Ezekiel Elliott of course, as if he's on the field, Morris will be almost exclusively on the sidelines. If Elliott sticks with his holdout, however, Morris will be the one to take the ball on […]

Brett Maher Looking for Another Solid Season

Dallas Cowboys kicker Brett Maher is hoping to build on his solid 2018 season and should be a decent contributor in fantasy leagues this year as well. Maher went 29-for-36 last season with six field goals of 50 yards or more. He only missed one extra point try in 33 chances. He's not a get-him-early […]

Randall Cobb a Risky Wide Receiver This Season

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Randall Cobb is a risky but potentially decent-upside player in fantasy leagues this season. He signed a one-year, $5 million deal with the Cowboys this offseason and will essentially be a one-for-one replacement for Cole Beasley in the slot. Cobb and quarterback Dak Prescott were reportedly connecting well earlier in the […]

Michael Gallup Has Two Preseason Catches So Far

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Michael Gallup has made two catches so far in the preseason, gaining 19 yards. Gallup had an overall solid rookie season, although he was a bit inconsistent. He looked much more valuable on the actual field than on a fantasy team, but he should have some use in deeper formats this […]

Ezekiel Elliott About 50-50 for Week 1

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott, currently holding out for a better contract, is "a coin flip" to play in Week 1, according to former Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo. Elliott is reportedly in "the best shape of his life" and weighs 220 pounds, his lowest weight since his rookie season. Elliott's holdout was not taken […]

Closers and Saves Report - Week 20 Waiver Wire

It wasn't a huge week in terms of bullpen news, which was actually kind of nice after two weeks of shuffling and hustling throughout Major League Baseball's bullpens. There were some smaller things that happened this week though, that could lead to bigger news down the road. Some trade deadline acquisitions don't look like they're […]

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Michael Wacha was okay on Thursday, throwing five innings but taking a loss. He allowed two runs on five hits and two walks.

Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Adam Plutko pitched well on Thursday, earning a win and a quality start. He went six innings, allowing three runs on six hits and a walk.

Miles Sanders Gets Five Carries on Thursday

Philadelphia Eagles rookie running back Miles Sanders ran the ball five times on Thursday, gaining 31 yards. Sanders looked great and has drawn rave practice reviews as well, with some beat reporters going as far as calling him the clear RB1 in Philly. Jordan Howard is still around and Corey Clement will likely work most […]

Boston Scott Leads the Eagles Backfield on Thursday

Philadelphia Eagles running back Boston Scott led the backfield in carries, yards, and touchdowns on Thursday. He ran the ball seven times, gaining 43 yards and scoring a touchdown. Scott is a possibility for the last running back spot in Philly, but he still has a few weeks to prove that he deserves a 53-man […]

Cody Kessler Suffers a Concussion on Thursday Night

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Cody Kessler suffered a concussion on Thursday night. He attempted four passes before being forced to leave the game, completing one for 11 yards. Kessler will enter the concussion protocol and while he should be ready for Week 1, fifth-rounder Clayton Thorson is the only one left to backup starter Carson Wentz […]

Clayton Thorson Completes 16 Passes on Thursday

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Clayton Thorson played most of Thursday night's preseason game. He completed 16-of-26 passes for 175 yards. He threw a touchdown and an interception.

Amari Cooper Dealing With a Plantar Fascia Issue

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Amari Cooper has been dealing with a plantar fascia problem. Cooper was reported with a heel problem, but it looks like it was the plantar fascia irritation all along. He's missed a week of practice already, but the team does not seem concerned about his Week 1 availability. The Cowboys should […]

Franmil Reyes Hits His First Home Run in Cleveland

Cleveland Indians outfielder/designated hitter Franmil Reyes hit his first home run as a member of the Cleveland lineup, going 2-for-4 with two RBI and two runs scored. It's been a rough start to Reyes' Indians career, but perhaps this game will be the kick start he needs. He's sporting a .150/.163/.275 slash line.

Carlos Santana Has a Three Hit Game Including a Home Run

Cleveland Indians first baseman Carlos Santana had a strong game on Monday, going 3-for-4 with a home run and two singles. He ended up scoring three runs and driving in one.

Zach Plesac Does Okay in Five Innings on Monday

Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Zach Plesac was okay on Monday, allowing three runs on seven hits in five innings of work. He walked two and struck out two as well. Plesac wasn't quite as on top of his game as he's been in recent starts, but he did his best to keep his team in […]

Brad Hand Blows a Save on Sunday

Cleveland Indians closer Brad Hand blew a save on Sunday, allowing two runs on four hits in the bottom of the ninth inning. He let the Twins tie the game at three and take it to extra innings. It was only Hand's third blown save of the season, and his ERA is still a solid […]

Aaron Civale Has Another Excellent Start on Sunday

Cleveland Indians rookie starting pitcher Aaron Civale continued pitching well on Sunday, tossing six innings while allowing just one run on four hits. He struck out five and did not issue a walk. Civale lowered his ERA to an even 1.00 and batters are hitting just .150 against him. He's obviously not this good, but […]

Cowboys Believe Tony Pollard Can "Carry the Load"

Dallas Cowboys rookie running back Tony Pollard is capable of "carrying the load" according to Cowboys owner/general manager Jerry Jones. Pollard was drafted in the fourth round and has been working as the lead back in practices while starter Ezekiel Elliott holds out for a new contract. Pollard only played the first series in Saturday's […]

Dallas Goedert to Miss Time With a Calf Injury

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert injured his calf and is considered week-to-week. Goedert will miss a preseason game or two, but he isn't expected to miss any regular season time and should be good to go for Week 1. The Eagles could be one of the rare NFL teams with two tight ends who […]
