Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Amari Cooper had an excellent Thanksgiving, catching eight passes for 180 yards and two touchdowns. He was targeted nine times and reached the end zone on catches of 40 and 90 yards. Cooper has now played in four games as a Cowboy and has been a target monster, seeing at least […]

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott feasted against Washington on Thanksgiving, putting up 121 rushing yards and a touchdown on 26 runs. He also caught five of his six targets, gaining 22 yards in the passing game. It was a strong performance from "Zeke" who has now scored four touchdown and gained 643 yards in […]

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott celebrated Thanksgiving by having his best game of the season, completing 22 of his 31 passes for 289 yards and two touchdowns. He added 18 yards on the ground, scoring another touchdown. Prescott's 289 yards was his highest this season, and he's now gone over 200 yards in every game […]

The Philadelphia Eagles defense has a strong matchup in Week 12 and is a recommended start in most fantasy formats. While they were shredded 48-7 by the New Orleans Saints just last week, the Eagles have a much easier game on tap against the New York Giants. While the Giants offense and quarterback Eli Manning […]

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz was the most stable high-end fantasy option at the tight end position all season until last week's disaster. A week after catching 14 passes for 145 yards and two touchdowns, Ertz was only able to grab two passes for 15 yards last week. Despite the forgettable week, Ertz still […]
David A Marcillo 6 years agoGolden Tate Looking Like a Risky Option in Philadelphia
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Golden Tate is a risky fantasy option in a Week 12 contest against the New York Giants. Despite having a bye week to acclimate himself after being acquired from the Detroit Lions, Tate was barely involved in his first game as an Eagle. Last week, his usage increased to 27 passing […]
David A Marcillo 6 years agoAlshon Jeffery Will Look to Bounce Back in Week 12
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Alshon Jeffery will look to bounce back after a few rough weeks in Week 12 against the New York Giants. Jeffery saw almost 25 percent of quarterback Carson Wentz's targets in his first four games this season, but has seen that dip to just 16.8 percent in his past three. That's […]
David A Marcillo 6 years agoWendell Smallwood Unlikely To Do Much in Week 12
Philadelphia Eagles running back Wendell Smallwood is not a usable fantasy option in Week 12 against the New York Giants. Smallwood was clearly passed on the depth chart by undrafted free agent Josh Adams in Week 11 and still has to compete with Corey Clement for scraps behind him. Smallwood shouldn't be started in Week […]
David A Marcillo 6 years agoCorey Clement Not a Strong Option in Week 12
Philadelphia Eagles running back Corey Clement doesn't make for a strong fantasy option in Week 12 against the New York Giants. Clement only ran the ball five times last week for 13 yards and caught one pass for a loss. Undrafted free agent Josh Adams seemed to take over the Eagles backfield in Week 11 […]
David A Marcillo 6 years agoJosh Adams a Risky Upside Choice in Week 12
Philadelphia Eagles running back Josh Adams is a risky but potentially high-upside fantasy option for Week 12 against the New York Giants. Adams played on 55 percent of the Eagles offensive snaps last week, running 16 pass routes. He was clearly working as the lead back in Week 11, but it is still a bit […]
David A Marcillo 6 years agoCarson Wentz a Strong Week 12 Option
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz is a strong Week 12 option despite his poor performance in Week 11. He'd been excellent every game up until Week 11, so it's fair to throw that poor performance away and give credit to the Saints defense. Wentz had been a top-five fantasy quarterback up until then, and the […]
David A Marcillo 6 years agoDallas Cowboys Defense a Solid Week 12 Option
The Dallas Cowboys defense makes for a solid fantasy option in Week 12 against Washington. With quarterback Alex Smith done for the season after a gruesome leg injury, backup Colt McCoy will make his first start since 2014 on a huge stage and after a short week. The Cowboys defense has been solid all season, […]
David A Marcillo 6 years agoCole Beasley a Low-End Option in Week 12
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Cole Beasley is a low-end fantasy option for Week 12 against Washington. Beasley was targeted seven times in Week 11, catching five of them for 51 yards. It was his best game since the Cowboys acquired Amari Cooper. He may continue to be heavily targeted, but he remains a low-upside option […]
David A Marcillo 6 years agoMichael Gallup Plans to Play on Thanksgiving
Dallas Cowboys rookie wide receiver Michael Gallup plans to play on Thanksgiving against Washington. Gallup was informed of his brother taking his own life after the Cowboys game on Sunday. Gallup stayed in Atlanta to be with his family and did not immediately rejoin his teammates. While no one would fault Gallup for missing Week […]
David A Marcillo 6 years agoAllen Hurns Unusable in Week 12
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Allen Hurns is not a realistic fantasy option in a Week 12 matchup against Washington. Hurns was not even in the box score in Week 11, catching zero passes. For the season, he's caught 16 passes for 221 yards and two touchdowns despite being active for every game. He's fallen far […]
David A Marcillo 6 years agoAmari Cooper a Decent Option on Thanksgiving
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Amari Cooper is a decent fantasy option for a Week 12 game against Washington. Since joining the Cowboys, Cooper has finally become a usable fantasy asset, but the limited Dallas passing game still limits his upside. He's seeing 23 percent of the targets from quarterback Dak Prescott, a huge improvement from […]
David A Marcillo 6 years agoEzekiel Elliott a Strong Thanksgiving Option for Week 12
Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott is a good option for a Thanksgiving contest against Washington. He was held to just 33 rushing yards, his season low, the last time these two teams met. The Washington run defense is quite different now though, as they have allowed over 100 yards from scrimmage to opposing running […]
David A Marcillo 6 years agoDak Prescott Not a Great Option on Thanksgiving
Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott is not a great fantasy option for a Week 12 Thanksgiving matchup against Washington. He had an excellent matchup last week and wasn't able to do much, despite a couple of solid weeks beforehand. He's scored a touchdown on the ground in four of the past five games, but he's […]
David A Marcillo 6 years agoZach Ertz An Elite Tight End Option Again in Week 11
Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz is once again an elite tight end option in Week 11. To provide a quick idea of how excellent Ertz's season has been so far: if he makes no catches in Week 11, he will still have the most catches (75) through 10 games for any tight end in […]
David A Marcillo 6 years agoNelson Agholor Risky to Rely On in Week 11
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Nelson Agholor is a risky fantasy option for Week 11. Taking on the New Orleans Saints in what is almost sure to be a high-scoring game, Agholor should get some chances to make plays on Sunday. However, the presence of Golden Tate is likely to limit Agholor's target share, especially if […]
David A Marcillo 6 years agoGolden Tate a Dart-Throw Option in Week 11
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Golden Tate is a low-floor, high-upside dart throw for a Week 11 matchup against the New Orleans Saints. Despite having a bye week to work with after joining the Eagles, Tate ran just 15 pass routes in Week 10. He'll certainly be more involved in Week 11, but he's unlikely to […]
David A Marcillo 6 years agoAlshon Jeffery Looks to Improve in Week 11
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Alshon Jeffery is a decent option in what should be a high-scoring Week 11 game against the New Orleans Saints. Jeffery has been struggling somewhat lately, recording just eight catches for 83 yards over the past two games. All of Jeffery's low scoring games this season have been against strong opposing […]
David A Marcillo 6 years agoWendell Smallwood Not a Good Week 11 Option
Philadelphia Eagles running back Wendell Smallwood is not a recommended fantasy option in a Week 11 matchup against the New Orleans Saints. Smallwood fell behind in the Eagles backfield pecking order in Week 10, getting five touches to Corey Clement's six and Josh Adams' seven. It's a messy backfield in general, but the Week 11 […]
David A Marcillo 6 years agoCorey Clement Is Best Left on the Bench in Week 11
Philadelphia Eagles running back Corey Clement is not a good fantasy option in Week 11. Clement seemed to fall behind Josh Adams in Week 10, seeing six touches to Adams' seven and watching Wendell Smallwood get five of his own. It's a messy backfield that's hard to trust on a good week. This week, facing […]
David A Marcillo 6 years agoJosh Adams Faces a Tough Challenge in Week 11
Philadelphia Eagles running back Josh Adams faces a tough challenge in a Week 11 game against the New Orleans Saints. While Adams seemed to take over the backfield in Week 10, getting seven touches to lead Eagles backs, he still saw Wendell Smallwood touch the ball five times and Corey Clement touch the ball six […]
David A Marcillo 6 years agoCarson Wentz Shaping Up As a Strong Week 11 Option
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz is a great option in a Week 11 matchup with the New Orleans Saints. Wentz has been the fantasy QB4 since Week 4 and has put up at least 20 fantasy points in five of six games. In a game that is expected to be a shootout, Wentz should have […]
David A Marcillo 6 years agoMichael Gallup Has a Good Week 11 Matchup
Dallas Cowboys rookie wide receiver Michael Gallup has an easy matchup in Week 11 against the Atlanta Falcons defense. Gallup has worked his way up to WR2 duties on the Cowboys, starting alongside Amari Cooper. Still, it's a low-output passing game that likely can only support one fantasy-relevant wide receiver. Gallup's dynasty outlook is improving […]
David A Marcillo 6 years agoAllen Hurns Not a Strong Option Even With a Good Matchup
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Allen Hurns is not a recommended fantasy option in Week 11 despite a good matchup against a soft Atlanta Falcons defense. He's at best the fifth option in a low-yield passing game, making him nearly unusable in fantasy outside of the deepest of leagues. He can be dropped in most formats.
David A Marcillo 6 years agoCole Beasley Could Provide a Floor in Week 11
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Cole Beasley could be a decent floor play in deeper leagues in Week 11. Taking on a soft Atlanta Falcons defense, Beasley is sure to see some targets from quarterback Dak Prescott. While the Cowboys offense will certainly be run through running back Ezekiel Elliott, Beasley should see some targets behind […]
