Shane Bieber Strikes Out Nine on Wednesday
Cleveland Indians rookie starting pitcher Shane Bieber was excellent on Wednesday, striking out nine in six shutout innings. He allowed just two hits and two walks, throwing 90 pitches. Bieber collected the win and a quality start, lowering his ERA to 4.55.
David A Marcillo 6 years agoDallas Goedert Could Be an Interesting Week 4 Option
Philadelphia Eagles rookie tight end Dallas Goedert could be an interesting fantasy option in Week 4. As long as wide receiver Alshon Jeffery (shoulder) remains out, Goedert could be the third option in the passing game behind wide receiver Nelson Agholor and fellow tight end Zach Ertz. Goedert saw seven targets last week and may […]
David A Marcillo 6 years agoZach Ertz Should Have Another Strong Game in Week 4
Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz should be looking at another strong performance in Week 4 against the Tennessee Titans. Ertz hasn't scored a touchdown yet this season, but he's still ended up as a TE1 every week. He also leads all tight ends in targets with 33. While Nick Foles certainly zeroed in on […]
David A Marcillo 6 years agoNelson Agholor a Solid WR3 Option for Week 4
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Nelson Agholor is a solid WR3 option in a Week 4 matchup against the Tennessee Titans. Only 25 percent of Agholor's catches have gone for double-digit yardage. While that's easily the lowest rate in the league, it should change now that he has Carson Wentz throwing to him for a second […]
David A Marcillo 6 years agoWendell Smallwood Should Not Start in Week 4
Philadelphia Eagles running back Wendell Smallwood could have more of a legitimate role on offense after a strong Week 3 performance, but he won't be on the field enough to develop a fantasy-relevant role. The Tennessee Titans feature a defense that has allowed the eighth-fewest yards to opposing running backs, and the Eagles backfield could […]
David A Marcillo 6 years agoCorey Clement Not a Great Week 4 Option
Philadelphia Eagles running back Corey Clement is not a recommended option for a Week 4 contest against the Tennessee Titans. With Jay Ajayi (back) expected back on the field and Wendell Smallwood performing well last week, this may end up as a four-man backfield. They'll be taking on a Titans defense that has allowed the […]
David A Marcillo 6 years agoJay Ajayi Not the Best Option in Week 4
Philadelphia Eagles running back Jay Ajayi (back) is expected to return to the field for a Week 4 matchup against the Tennessee Titans, but he won't be a recommended fantasy starter. Likely to play limited snaps because of his injury, Ajayi is too risky to trust as anything more than a low-floor FLEX option this […]
David A Marcillo 6 years agoCarson Wentz Tough to Start in Week 4
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz is tough to trust in Week 4 against the Tennessee Titans. Wentz returned to the field last week and ended up as the QB22 for Week 3. With the Eagles offense still somewhat in disarray mostly due to injuries, it's hard to trust Wentz as a QB1. He'll most likely […]
David A Marcillo 6 years agoGeoff Swaim's Decent Week 3 Unlikely to Repeat in Week 4
Dallas Cowboys tight end Geoff Swaim had a decent performance in Week 3, but it isn't enough to propel him into the conversation for Week 4. Swaim was targeted seven times last week, but the Dallas offense overall is struggling outside of the running game with Ezekiel Elliott. Swaim could come up with a handful […]
David A Marcillo 6 years agoCole Beasley Tough to Trust in Week 4
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Cole Beasley shouldn't be trusted in any fantasy lineups for Week 4. He's working as the WR1 for the Cowboys, but that says a whole lot more about the Dallas offense than it does about Beasley. In three games, he's hauled in 12 passes for 132 yards. He drew five targets […]
David A Marcillo 6 years agoTerrance Williams Shouldn't Be on Fantasy Rosters
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Terrance Williams has no place on a fantasy roster at this point. Through three games, Williams has made two catches for 18 yards. He wasn't even targeted in Week 3. While he may indeed play a vital role on the field blocking for Ezekiel "The Dallas Offense" Elliott, Williams hasn't done […]
David A Marcillo 6 years agoMichael Gallup Cannot Be Started in Week 4
Dallas Cowboys rookie wide receiver Michael Gallup cannot be placed in any starting lineups for a Week 4 matchup against the Detroit Lions. Gallup has come up with just three catches for 31 yards this season and no Dallas receiver has even been targeted more than five times in a game yet. The entire Dallas […]
David A Marcillo 6 years agoAllen Hurns Not an Option in Week 4
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Allen Hurns is not a fantasy option for a Week 4 matchup against the Detroit Lions. Hurns has totaled four catches for 51 yards this season, and no Dallas wide receiver has been targeted more than five times in a game this season. The entire Dallas offense rests on Ezekiel Elliott's […]
David A Marcillo 6 years agoEzekiel Elliott Should Be the Cowboys Offense Again in Week 4
Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott should play the role of the entire Dallas offense again in Week 4. Elliott has 98.3 percent of the Cowboys backfield touches, easily the highest rate in the NFL. He has been quite effective on the ground and gets a good matchup against a Lions defense that has allowed […]
David A Marcillo 6 years agoDak Prescott Still Not a Fantasy Option in Week 4
Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott won't be a fantasy option in Week 4. In Prescott's last 13 games, he's reached 200 yards just three times and thrown for more than one touchdown in just 10 of those games. A league-average quarterback this season is making 17.5 percent of his throws at least 15 yards downfield. […]

Well, this is it. The Fantasy Finals! Some leagues are already done, having crowned their champions last week. Others will bring it down to the bitter end, leading right up to the "real" playoffs. Here's hoping you're either still alive or have already been crowned champion. Thanks for coming along for another ride this season […]
David A Marcillo 6 years agoTerrance Williams Not Even Targeted in Week 3
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Terrance Williams was not even targeted in the passing game on Sunday. He only ended up playing on nine of the team's offensive snaps. On a team with a weak passing game, a guy who can't even see the field won't ever have any fantasy relevance.
David A Marcillo 6 years agoMichael Gallup Records Just One Catch in Week 3
Dallas Cowboys rookie wide receiver Michael Gallup caught just one pass on Sunday, gaining 17 yards. He was targeted four times, but only came up with a catch one time. The third round pick has caught just three passes in three weeks. Once considered a possible bargain pick in redraft leagues, Gallup is looking like […]
David A Marcillo 6 years agoAllen Hurns Catches Two Passes in Week 3
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Allen Hurns caught two passes on four targets on Sunday, gaining 22 yards. He was in the game more often than he'd been in Weeks 1 and 2, but he was still unable to make much of an impact. Once considered a possible fantasy draft bargain, Hurns is starting to look […]
David A Marcillo 6 years agoEzekiel Elliott Works as the Cowboys Offense in Week 3
Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott ran the ball 16 times for 127 yards, adding three catches for 11 more yards in Week 3. Elliott was targeted eight times in the passing game but only came up with three grabs. Still, his fantasy owners were happy with the 127 yards, especially with how much the […]
David A Marcillo 6 years agoDak Prescott Has Another Mediocre Day in Week 3
Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott had another mediocre performance in Week 3, connecting on 19 of 34 passes for 168 yards. He threw for one touchdown but threw two interceptions. He was able to add 21 yards on two runs. He was also sacked five times, losing 31 yards in the process. With the Cowboys […]
David A Marcillo 6 years agoZach Ertz Gains 73 Yards in Week 3
Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz was targeted 10 times on Sunday, catching five of them for 73 yards. Ertz ended up leading the Eagles in targets, yards, and catches. It was as expected, with Carson Wentz (knee) back in the starting lineup. Ertz still hasn't scored a touchdown, but he's been able to provide […]
David A Marcillo 6 years agoWendell Smallwood Makes the Most of His Week 3 Chances
Philadelphia Eagles running back Wendell Smallwood made the most of his chance on Sunday, running the ball 10 times for 56 yards and a touchdown, adding three catches for 35 more yards. Smallwood was given the "start" but ended up with fewer touches than Corey Clement. Smallwood could draw some fantasy attention if Darren Sproles […]
David A Marcillo 6 years agoCorey Clement Doesn't Do Much With His 19 Touches
Philadelphia Eagles running back Corey Clement disappointed a bit in Week 3, running the ball 16 times for 56 yards and adding three catches for 19 more yards. With Darren Sproles (hamstring) and Jay Ajayi (back) out, Clement was expected to have a big game, but he ceded several carries (and a touchdown) to usually-special-teams-only […]
David A Marcillo 6 years agoDallas Goedert Shines in Week 3
Philadelphia Eagles rookie tight end Dallas Goedert had a strong game on Sunday, catching all seven of his targets for 73 yards and a touchdown. He looked great in this one, but his usage so far this season has been far too inconsistent to count on in Week 4. One more week like this one, […]
David A Marcillo 6 years agoWeek 26 MLB Closers and Saves Report
Congrats on (probably) making it through the first week or two of the playoffs! I got knocked out in the first round because almost all of my hitters decided to pretty much take a week off from being on base. My closers did great though, so I'm still qualified to create this week's Closers and […]
David A Marcillo 6 years agoCole Beasley Shows Up on Thursday's Injury Report
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Cole Beasley popped up on Thursday's injury report, getting in a limited practice due to an ankle injury. Late-week injuries are never a good sign, but there's been no mention yet of Beasley being forced to miss Sunday's game against the Seattle Seahawks. Whether or not he plays, Beasley's fantasy status […]
David A Marcillo 6 years agoCarlos Carrasco Punches Out 11 on Wednesday
Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Carlos Carrasco was great on Wednesday, striking out 11 in 6 2/3 innings. He allowed just one run on four hits and a walk. The one run he allowed was on a solo home run. Carrasco did not factor in the decision, as Cleveland won on a grand slam in the […]
David A Marcillo 6 years agoJason Kipnis Wins the Game With a Grand Slam
Cleveland Indians infielder/outfielder Jason Kipnis won Wednesday's game with a grand slam in the bottom of the ninth. It was his only hit of the night, as he finished 1-for-3 with a walk, four RBI, and a run scored. The slam was Kipnis' 1000th hit of his career, and his first hit was also a […]
David A Marcillo 6 years agoSean Lee Not at Practice on Wednesday
Dallas Cowboys linebacker Sean Lee missed practice on Wednesday due to a hamstring injury. Death, taxes, and Sean Lee missing practice. It's unclear for now how severe Lee's injury is, but any time he is on the field, the Cowboys defense looks significantly better. He would seemingly still have a chance to suit up on […]
