Eagles 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 […]

Jake 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.

Dallas 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 […]

Zach 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 […]

J.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 […]

Nelson 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 […]

Alshon 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 […]

DeSean 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 […]

Jordan Howard Runs the Ball Six Times in Week 1

Philadelphia Eagles running back Jordan Howard carried the ball six times in Week 1, gaining 44 yards. He also caught two passes for 11 yards through the air. Howard trailed Darren Sproles (9) and Miles Sanders (11) in carries, but averaged the most yards per carry in the Eagles backfield with 7.3. Howard was efficient, […]

Darren Sproles Heavily Involved in the Offense in Week 1

Philadelphia Eagles running back Darren Sproles was heavily involved in the offense in Week 1. The veteran back led the Eagles in rushing, running the ball nine times for 47 yards. He added three catches for 16 yards through the air. Sproles' role was uncertain heading into the game, but he was the most effective […]

Miles Sanders Carries the Ball 11 Times in His Debut

Philadelphia Eagles rookie running back Miles Sanders led the Eagles in carries in Week 1, running the ball 11 times. He gained 25 yards on the ground, adding one catch for two yards. Sanders looked like he'd scored his first NFL touchdown, but the play was called back due to a penalty. Overall, Sanders looked […]

Carson Wentz Tosses Three Touchdowns in Week 1

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz got off to a slow start in Week 1, but turned it on in the second half and ended up with a good game. He tossed three touchdowns, completing 28-of-39 passes for 313 yards. Wentz connected with Alshon Jeffery once and DeSean Jackson twice for scores. Jeffery's went for a […]

Aaron Civale Allows Just One Run on Saturday

Cleveland Indians rookie starting pitcher Aaron Civale pitched five solid innings on Saturday, allowing just one run on three hits and three walks. He struck out four and threw just 80 pitches. Civale lowered his ERA to 1.93, and opposing hitters and batting just .222 against him. His only issue has been going deep in […]

Adam Wainwright Pitches Seven Strong Innings on Saturday

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Adam Wainwright pitched very well on Saturday, tossing seven innings. He earned a win, improving to 11-9 on the season.

He ended up with three RBI and three runs scored, raising his slash line to .255/.334/.499. The home run was his 26th and he now has 81 RBI on the season. Ozuna has been streaky this season as […]

Adam Plutko Works a Quality Start on Friday

Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Adam Plutko earned a quality start on Friday but ended up with a no-decision. He tossed six innings, allowing two runs on seven hits and a walk. Plutko struck out five and lowered his ERA to 4.44. He's been a decent enough innings-eater for Cleveland, but there are likely better options […]

Tommy Edman Goes Yard Twice on Friday

St. Louis Cardinals third baseman Tommy Edman had an excellent game on Friday, going 2-for-4 with two home runs. He drove in three runs and scored two of his own. Edman has come out of nowhere to post a .283/.314/.457 slash line with seven home runs. He'll try to continue his Cardinal Devil Magic™ for […]

Andrew Miller Coughs Up Three Runs on Friday

St. Louis Cardinals relief pitcher Andrew Miller struggled on Friday, taking a loss and a blown save. He got just one out, allowing three runs on three hits. His one out was a strikeout, but it was his third blown save and fifth loss of the season. Miller's ERA went up to 4.30, but he'd […]

Miles Mikolas Tosses Five Solid Innings on Friday

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Miles Mikolas tossed five solid innings on Friday, although he had a bit less control than usual. He allowed a run on three hits, walking four and striking out seven. Mikolas, who is usually a very efficient pitcher, threw 99 pitches (60 strikes) to get just 15 outs. He ended […]

Closers and Saves Report - Week 23 Waiver Wire

A particularly quiet bullpen week leading into- or starting, depending on your league- the fantasy playoffs makes for less drama, but maybe more worry? Kind of the whole "calm before the storm" type of thing. It almost seems like since sort of nothing happened in bullpens this week, maybe everything will happen next week, right in the fantasy playoffs. […]

Paul Goldschmidt Drives in Four on Wednesday

St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Paul Goldschmidt drove in four runs on Wednesday, smacking a double and a triple. He also drew a walk, raising his slash line to .257/.334/.464. Goldschmidt has had some hot streaks, but his first season in a Cardinals uniform has been a disappointment overall.

Brad Hand Blows Up on Wednesday

Cleveland Indians closer Brad Hand had a rough outing on Wednesday and had to be bailed out. Hand got just one out, allowing two runs on four hits and a walk. Nick Wittgren was able to come in and record his fourth save of the season, saving Hand from taking a loss. Hand had been […]

Shane Bieber Strikes Out Nine and Wins on Wednesday

Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Shane Bieber earned a win with a solid seven-inning performance on Wednesday. He allowed two runs on six hits, issuing two walks while striking out nine. Bieber's record improved to 13-7 and his ERA lowered to 3.24. He's been one of the most consistent pitchers in the American League and should […]

Cowboys Defense Should be a Strong Week 1 Play

The Dallas Cowboys Defense should be a solid fantasy option in Week 1. Taking on a nearly non-existent New York Giants offense, the Cowboys should have no problem putting up a strong fantasy performance. While the Giants will feature running back Saquon Barkley, their passing game will likely be non-existent, allowing the Cowboys to consistently […]

Jason Witten a Floor Play in Week 1

Dallas Cowboys tight end Jason Witten is not a strong fantasy option in Week 1. Witten is returning to the field from the broadcast booth and should more or less be the same player he was before: he'll catch the ball and fall down on it. Witten could have some value in TE premium leagues, […]

Randall Cobb Not a Strong Start in His First Cowboys Game

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Randall Cobb is not a recommended fantasy starter in Week 1. The Cowboys will be taking on a New York Giants Defense that should be decent against the pass, and it is still somewhat unclear how Cobb will be used in the offense. What is clear is that he is working […]

Michael Gallup Not a Strong Week 1 Option

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Michael Gallup is not a recommended fantasy option for Week 1. Taking on a New York Giants Defense that should be fairly strong, Gallup will likely see the Dallas offense run through Amari Cooper and the ground game. Gallup has some touchdown upside and should have a solid season overall, but […]

Amari Cooper a Strong WR2 for Week 1

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Amari Cooper is a strong WR2 option with easy WR1 upside in Week 1. The Cowboys take on a solid New York Giants Defense, but Cooper should be the star of the show as the focal point of the passing game. Currently ranked right on the WR1/2 turn, Cooper has tons […]
