Wendell Smallwood Could Be Left Off the Roster
Philadelphia Eagles running back Wendell Smallwood could be left off the final roster before the season begins. Smallwood set a career high in touches last season, but he was average at best. With the Eagles drafting Miles Sanders and trading for Jordan Howard, Smallwood was pushed down the depth chart and will need to compete […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoCharles Johnson on the Outside Looking In
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Charles Johnson is on the outside looking in for a roster spot in 2019. Johnson excelled in the AAF as part of the Orlando Apollos and looked promising on the Vikings in 2014, but he's already 30 and buried on the depth chart. Behind at least Alshon Jeffery, DeSean Jackson, Nelson […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoMack Hollins Likely to Play a Depth Role in 2019
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Mack Hollins is likely to play a depth role in 2019 if he makes it on the final roster. Buried on the depth chart behind at least Alshon Jeffery, DeSean Jackson, Nelson Agholor, and J.J. Arcega-Whiteside, Hollins will appear on special teams a lot more often than he does on offense. […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoDarren Sproles Should Have a Role on Offense
Philadelphia Eagles running back Darren Sproles should have a somewhat consistent role in 2019. He'll work on special teams as a returner, but should also see playing time on offense, splitting passing downs with Corey Clement. Sproles and Clement will eat into one another's fantasy value, but either back would be a solid option if […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoJosh Adams on the Roster Bubble
Philadelphia Eagles running back Josh Adams might not make the final Eagles roster this season. Adams led the team in rushing last season after joining the team as an undrafted rookie, but shoulder surgery combined with the additions of Miles Sanders and Jordan Howard have left Adams on the outside looking in. Sanders, Howard, Corey […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoCorey Clement Has Competition in the Backfield
Philadelphia Eagles running back Corey Clement could have some competition for passing downs from veteran Darren Sproles. Jordan Howard and rookie Miles Sanders seemed locked into early downs, and Clement and Sproles should handle passing situations. Given their ages, Clement should take the larger role, but Sproles could act as a vulture to Clement's fantasy […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoJ.J. Arcega-Whiteside Quickly Gaining Preseason Buzz
Philadelphia Eagles rookie wide receiver J.J. Arcega-Whiteside is quickly gaining some preseason buzz, with some reporters thinking he could even be pushing Nelson Agholor for a starting role. The Eagles are reportedly "excited" about their second rounder, and while starters Alshon Jeffery and DeSean Jackson are in no danger of losing playing time, slot receiver […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoJake Elliott In For Another Solid Season
Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott should be primed for another solid season in 2019. He had a good 2018, converting 26-of-31 field goals, but just two of 50 yards or more. He missed two extra points in 35 tries. With an improving offense, Elliott could get more chances this season and should be a solid […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoNelson Agholor Could Lose His Role on Offense
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Nelson Agholor could be in line for a diminished role on offense this season. With Alshon Jeffery and DeSean Jackson atop the receiver depth chart, Agholor will need to hold off rookie J.J. Arcega-Whiteside to remain in a starting role. Arcega-Whiteside has reportedly been excellent in practice and could take Agholor's […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoJordan Howard Should Have a Consistent Role in 2019
Philadelphia Eagles running back Jordan Howard should have a consistent short-yardage role in 2019. While rookie Miles Sanders has taken training camp by storm, Howard has remained solid and will play a significant role on the offense. He and Sanders will share early downs, with Sanders playing more often between the 20-yard lines and Howard […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoDeSean Jackson Should Have Some Huge Games This Season
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson could have some huge games this season. With quarterback Carson Wentz finally having the deep threat Torrey Smith should have been, Jackson could provide the Eagles offense with a new dimension. He won't be a super consistent option, but is an excellent best ball or DFS play, especially against […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoCarson 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 […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoAlshon 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 […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoZach 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 […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoNoah 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 […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoTavon 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 […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoJason 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 […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoAlfred 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 […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoBrett 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 […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoRandall 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 […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoMichael 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 […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoEzekiel 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 […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoClosers 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. He struck out three and threw 80 pitches. Wacha hasn't been great this season as his 5.44 ERA shows, but he did well enough this time to […]

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. He struck out three but allowed two home runs. Given a huge cushion early in a game that Cleveland would win 19-5, Plutko pitched to […]

Cleveland Indians third baseman Jose Ramirez had an enormous offensive game on Thursday, going 2-for-3 with two home runs, two walks, and six RBI. He scored two runs as well. It was a huge game for Ramirez which included the first grand slam of his career. He's been one of the best offensive players since […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoMiles 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 […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoBoston 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 […]
David A Marcillo 5 years agoCody 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 […]
