Josh Adams Doesn't Start but Still Gets 14 Touches in Week 17
Philadelphia Eagles running back Josh Adams ran the ball 11 times in Week 17, gaining 50 yards and adding three catches for 33 more yards. Adams did not get the start in this one, instead he played behind Wendell Smallwood. Heading into the playoffs, none of the Eagles running backs make for strong DFS options.

Philadelphia Eagles running back Wendell Smallwood got the start and led the backfield in touches in Week 17. He ran the ball 12 times, gaining 53 yards and adding four catches for 24 yards.

Dallas Cowboys rookie wide receiver Michael Gallup caught three passes on six targets in Week 17, gaining 50 yards. He also scored on a critical two-point conversion late in the game.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Cole Beasley caught all six of his targets in Week 17, gaining 94 yards and scoring a touchdown. Beasley was solid all game, but his touchdown was one that we'll be seeing on highlight reels for a while. With Amari Cooper (five catches for 31 scoreless yards) struggling to make any […]

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Amari Cooper didn't close off the season on a great note, catching just five passes for 31 yards despite being targeted 11 times. Cooper could not get on the same page as quarterback Dak Prescott, and simply has not looked like the Amari Cooper who finally showed the WR1 upside after […]

Dallas Cowboys tight end Blake Jarwin caught seven passes on Sunday, gaining 119 yards and scoring three touchdowns. One of the best fantasy games of the season for a tight end came almost out of nowhere, as Jarwin came into the game having gained just 188 yards total and without scoring a touchdown in 2018. […]

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Alshon Jeffery caught three passes in Week 16, gaining 82 yards.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Golden Tate only caught two passes on Sunday, gaining just 13 yards. Despite quarterback Nick Foles completing 35 passes for 471 yards, Tate was again barely involved in the offensive game plan.

Philadelphia Eagles running back Josh Adams ran the ball 11 times, gaining just 21 yards in Sunday's win. He fumbled in the fourth quarter, nearly losing the game for his team.

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Nick Foles annihilated the Houston Texans defense in Week 16. He completed 35 of his 49 pass attempts for 471 yards and four touchdowns. He did throw an interception, but anyone who started Foles in their fantasy championship matchup likely did not mind the pick. Foles got some help from great plays […]

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Cole Beasley caught five passes, gaining 50 yards on Sunday. Beasley has suddenly become more involved in the passing game over the past two weeks, making nine catches for 92 yards.

Dallas Cowboys rookie wide receiver Michael Gallup caught three passes on Sunday, gaining 53 yards and scoring a touchdown.

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz was targeted seven times in Week 15, but only came down with three catches, gaining 22 yards.

David A Marcillo 6 years agoGolden Tate Catches Five Passes in Week 15
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Golden Tate caught five passes on Sunday night, gaining 43 yards. With Nick Foles filling in at quarterback for the injured Carson Wentz (back), Tate had a slightly expanded role.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Alshon Jeffery had a strong game in Week 15, catching eight passes for 160 yards. Jeffery had been fading fast with Carson Wentz under center, but with Nick Foles starting tonight and likely for the remainder of the season, Jeffery could end up finishing the season strong. He's back in the […]

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Nick Foles completed 24 of his 31 pass attempts for 270 yards on Sunday night. He threw an interception but did not connect for a touchdown.

Dallas Cowboys tight end Blake Jarwin caught four passes on Sunday, gaining 45 yards. He was the Cowboys' leading receiver in the game, which says all you need to know about the Dallas offense in this one. Jarwin seems to be taking on the classic Jason Witten floor-TE role.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Amari Cooper caught just four passes in Week 15, gaining 32 yards. The entire Dallas offense was a mess, as they did not score and rarely even came close to the end zone.

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott had a rough game in Week 15, completing 24 of his 39 pass attempts for just 206 yards. He threw an interception but no touchdowns, as the Cowboys were shut out. Prescott was being talked about as a low-end QB1 for this one, but the entire Dallas offense just looked […]
David A Marcillo 6 years agoEagles Defense Not Recommended in Week 15
The Philadelphia Eagles defense is not a recommended fantasy option for a Week 15 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams. In a game that could get out of hand quickly, the Eagles and their immensely exploitable secondary should be nowhere near fantasy lineups. Since their Week 10 bye, opposing quarterbacks have completed about 73 percent […]
