Josh Adams Struggles but Scores a Touchdown in Week 15
Philadelphia Eagles running back Josh Adams had a hard time getting anything going on Sunday night, running the ball 15 times for just 28 yards. He was able to salvage his fantasy day slightly by running in a six-yard touchdown. After taking over the Eagles backfield all for himself a few weeks ago, Adams has […]

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz was targeted seven times in Week 15, but only came down with three catches, gaining 22 yards. Nick Foles started in place of Carson Wentz (back) and led the Eagles to a big enough lead that they were mostly running the clock in the second half, limiting Ertz's opportunities. […]

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. He was still well behind Zach Ertz and Alshon Jeffery, but Tate could again be usable in deeper leagues for the […]

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. Foles was filling in for starter Carson Wentz (back) and will likely do so for the rest of the season. He may be useful in 2QB […]

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. He can likely be started in […]

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. Cooper was targeted six times, but quarterback Dak Prescott was sailing overthrows all day. Cooper should fare better […]

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott was the only watchable player on the Cowboys offense in Week 15. His team was held scoreless, but Elliott ran the ball 18 times for 87 yards and caught seven passes for 41 more yards. The Cowboys only got near the end zone once and Elliott was stuffed on […]
David A Marcillo 6 years agoDak Prescott Has a Forgettable Week 15
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 […]
David A Marcillo 6 years agoCowboys Defense a Solid Week 15 Fantasy Option
The Dallas Cowboys defense is a solid choice for a Week 15 fantasy lineup. The Cowboys have been a top-10 fantasy defense for the past month, and even though they hit a bit of a speed bump in last week's overtime win, they are still shaping up as a good option for any lineup. The […]
David A Marcillo 6 years agoGolden Tate Hard to Trust in Week 15
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Golden Tate is difficult to trust as a starting option in Week 15. Not only will he be taking on a strong Los Angeles Rams defense, he will also very likely be working with backup quarterback Nick Foles. Tate and Alshon Jeffery have each put up just one week of WR3 […]
David A Marcillo 6 years agoAlshon Jeffery a Risky Play in Week 15
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Alshon Jeffery was already going to be a risky play in Week 15 when Carson Wentz (back) was expected to play. With Nick Foles now set to make the start, Jeffery is no better than a floor-play WR3. Since Golden Tate joined the Eagles, Jeffery has only had one week where […]
David A Marcillo 6 years agoZach Ertz Still a Great Option in Week 15
Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz is still an excellent fantasy option in Week 15 despite losing starting quarterback Carson Wentz (back) to injury. Nick Foles, Wentz's backup and the expected Week 15 starter, loves throwing to Ertz and will likely need to do so plenty of times in what is expected to be a […]
David A Marcillo 6 years agoJosh Adams a Risky Option in Week 15
Philadelphia Eagles running back Josh Adams will be hard to trust in a Week 15 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams. Adams is a rushing-only type of back, rarely seeing any targets in the passing game. With the Eagles defense struggling to do anything, the Rams could jump out to a big lead in this […]
David A Marcillo 6 years agoNick Foles Expected to Start in Week 15
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Nick Foles is expected to get the start in Week 15. Starter Carson Wentz is dealing with back spasms and while he has not yet been officially ruled out, he is not expected to be able to play on Sunday. Foles is likely available on most waiver wires, but he's not a […]
David A Marcillo 6 years agoCarson Wentz Not Expected to Play in Week 15
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz is not expected to play in Week 15 due to back spasms. He missed practice on Wednesday, and soon after, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported that Wentz is not expected to be able to play on Sunday against the Rams. The Eagles will turn to Nick Foles, downgrading all of […]
David A Marcillo 6 years agoBlake Jarwin a Sneaky Option in Week 15
Dallas Cowboys tight end Blake Jarwin is a sneaky option for Week 15. Jarwin came somewhat out of nowhere last week and ran 38 pass routes, making seven catches for 56 yards. The Colts defense shuts down wide receivers, but opposing teams have been able to funnel passes to their running backs and tight ends. […]
David A Marcillo 6 years agoAmari Cooper a Solid Week 15 Option Even With a Tough Matchup
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Amari Cooper is a solid option in Week 15 despite facing off against a tough Colts defense. Since joining the Cowboys, Cooper has been the second highest scoring wide receiver in the NFL in terms of fantasy points, and he leads the league in receiving yardage. He's seen a full 25 […]
David A Marcillo 6 years agoEzekiel Elliott a Prime Option for Week 15
Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott is an excellent starting option in any Week 15 lineup. Elliott was solid enough when he was just running the ball, but since the Week 8 bye, he has made the second most catches among running backs. He's also led the league in yards from scrimmage since then. Truly […]
David A Marcillo 6 years agoDak Prescott a Solid Week 15 Starter
Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott is a solid starter for Week 15. He's been switching between strong performances and weak performances since the Amari Cooper trade, and he's coming off his strongest one yet. Still, the up-and-down pattern isn't expected to continue. He'll take on the Colts defense this week, who currently ranks 31st in […]
David A Marcillo 6 years agoZach Ertz Hauls In Five Passes in Week 14
Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz caught five passes for 38 yards in Week 14. He was targeted eight times. It wasn't one of Ertz's better games, but the entire Eagles offense looked off for most of this game. He'll remain a top-tier fantasy TE1 going forward despite Sunday's disappointing outing.
David A Marcillo 6 years agoDallas Goedert Scores a Touchdown in Week 14
Philadelphia Eagles rookie tight end Dallas Goedert caught four passes on Sunday, gaining 44 yards and scoring a touchdown. Goedert looked good in a game where most of the Eagles offense didn't. He's been impressive for a rookie tight end, but he won't be a consistent high-end fantasy option as long as Zach Ertz is […]
David A Marcillo 6 years agoGolden Tate Catches Only One Pass in Week 14
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Golden Tate only came up with one catch in Week 14, gaining just seven yards. After seeing plenty of targets for a few weeks in a row, Tate was only thrown to three times in this one. The Cowboys defense was able to lock down the Eagles receivers for the most […]
David A Marcillo 6 years agoAlshon Jeffery Finally Does Something in Week 14
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Alshon Jeffery, who had been disappointing for several weeks, scored a touchdown in Week 14, catching six passes for 50 yards on nine targets. He'd been less and less involved in recent weeks, but he worked well ahead of Golden Gate in this one. It's hard to know if he'll be […]
David A Marcillo 6 years agoJosh Adams Only Gets Seven Touches in Week 14
Philadelphia Eagles running back Josh Adams only ran the ball seven times on Sunday, gaining 36 yards. He did not record a catch on the afternoon. Adams averaged 5.1 yards per carry, but game script and a tough Cowboys defense kept him only tangentially involved in the offense. It was a bad week, but he's […]
David A Marcillo 6 years agoCarson Wentz Struggles but Throws Three Touchdowns in Week 14
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz struggled for most of Sunday's game against a strong Dallas Cowboys defense, but he was still able to salvage his fantasy day by connecting on three touchdowns. He ended up completing 22 of his 32 pass attempts for 228 yards. Wentz was legitimately bad in the first half, but he […]

Dallas Cowboys tight end Blake Jarwin popped up out of nowhere to make seven catches in Week 14, gaining 56 yards. He came into the game with seven catches for the whole season, so he doubled that on Sunday. That kind of usage would make him a decent floor-type tight end, but he'll need to […]
David A Marcillo 6 years agoEzekiel Elliott Gets 40 Touches in Week 14
Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott ran the ball 28 times for 114 yards, adding 12 catches for 79 more yards. Zeke didn't score a touchdown in this one, but he did more than enough to make his fantasy owners happy. His involvement in the passing game lately has pushed him solidly into top-three status.
David A Marcillo 6 years agoAmari Cooper Scores Three Times in Week 14
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Amari Cooper had a fantastic game on Sunday, catching 10 passes on 13 targets, gaining 217 yards and scoring three touchdowns. His touchdowns came from 28, 75, and 15 yards out. It was an absolutely dominant performance from Cooper, but the same can't be expected against a team with a real […]
