Carlos Carrasco Works a Quality Start on Wednesday

Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Carlos Carrasco picked up a quality start on Wednesday, tossing seven innings of three-run ball, striking out five. He allowed six hits and walked two. The five strikeouts were his fewest since June, but it was still a solid performance. He'll take a 16-9 record and a 3.43 ERA into his […]

Geoff Swaim Could Be Useful in Week 2

Dallas Cowboys tight end Geoff Swaim could be a useful floor play in Week 2 against the New York Giants. Swaim dominated snaps in Week 1, playing on 58 of the 64 offensive snaps taken by the Cowboys. Combine that with the fact that the Giants defense tends to struggle against tight ends, and you […]

Michael Gallup Not a Good Option for Week 2

Dallas Cowboys rookie wide receiver Michael Gallup is not a strong option for Week 2 against the New York Giants. While fantasy owners still have hope that Gallup could develop into something useful as the season goes on, Week 2 is unlikely to be that week. In a matchup that is expected to be very […]

Allen Hurns Should Not Be Relied On in Week 2

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Allen Hurns is not a starting option for Week 2 against the New York Giants. In a game that will likely run through Ezekiel Elliott on the ground and short passes to Cole Beasley through the air, Hurns may end up an afterthought much like he was in Week 1. He […]

Cole Beasley Could Be a Floor Play for Week 2

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Cole Beasley isn't a recommended starter for Week 2, but he could produce a decent floor. Owners desperate for a wide receiver or flex play can likely find a higher risk/higher reward option on the wire, but Beasley's floor might be safest. He's absolutely not an exciting option, but he's been […]

Ezekiel Elliott the Only Usable Cowboy in Week 2

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott is the only Cowboys offensive player who can be trusted in fantasy for Week 2. In what should be a close game against the New York Giants, Elliott should get plenty of chances to run the ball. Despite a mediocre performance in Week 1, "Zeke" led all NFL running […]

Dak Prescott Not a Good Option in Week 2

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott is not a good fantasy option in a Week 2 matchup against the New York Giants. In what is expected to be a low-scoring game, Prescott isn't likely to do enough to even produce QB2 value. Prescott has been in the bottom half of QB fantasy scoring in nine of […]

Zach Ertz Still a Starting Option Despite a Touch Matchup

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz is still a starting option in Week 2 despite facing off against the Tampa Bay Bucs defense. The Bucs defense has struggled against running backs and wide receivers, but has actually defended opposing tight ends extremely well, allowing the fewest points to tight ends since the beginning of last […]

Mike Wallace Could Surprise in Week 2

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Mike Wallace could surprise with a strong performance in Week 2 against the Tampa Bay Bucs. Wallace did not catch a ball in Week 1, but he did run 34 routes and had several deep balls thrown in his direction. With the Bucs likely starting backup defensive backs, Wallace could have […]

Nelson Agholor Set Up for a Strong Week 2

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Nelson Agholor looks like a good bet to make some noise in Week 2 against a struggling Tampa Bay defense. Agholor made eight catches in Week 1 but somehow turned it into just 33 yards. The Bucs defense allowed 13 catches to slot receivers in Week 1 and should provide much […]

Corey Clement Should Have Another Quiet Game in Week 2

Philadelphia Eagles running back Corey Clement isn't expected to take on a huge role in Week 2 against Tampa Bay. Clement was only in for 13 snaps in Week 1, and his role isn't likely to grow much in Week 2. With Jay Ajayi locked in on early downs and Darren Sproles around to share […]

Darren Sproles Not a Strong Option for Week 2

Philadelphia Eagles running back Darren Sproles is not a recommended fantasy option for Week 2 against Tampa Bay. Sproles tied with Jay Ajayi for the lead in backfield snaps in Week 1 with 29, but the Eagles have already said that Ajayi will be in there more often going forward. The backfield usage in the […]

Jay Ajayi Looks To Build On Week 1 Performance

Philadelphia Eagles running back Jay Ajayi will look to build on his strong second half in Week 1 this weekend against the Tampa Bay Bucs. Ajayi and Darren Sproles both played 29 snaps against the Falcons, but Ajayi picked up plenty of steam in the second half. He's ranked near the top of the RB2 […]

Nick Foles Not a Good Option Despite a Good Matchup

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Nick Foles is not a recommended fantasy option this weekend despite facing off against the Tampa Bay defense. It's a good matchup on paper, but Foles is coming off a 117 yard performance in Week 1 and while he should do better in Week 2, it's unlikely to be good enough to […]

Miles Mikolas Wins on Tuesday

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Miles Mikolas earned a win on Tuesday, tossing seven innings while allowing just one run and striking out seven. Mikolas has been very effective this season despite not putting up huge strikeout numbers. Tuesday's seven strikeouts matched his highest total since May. Still, he's been an asset in all other […]

Cody Allen Gets the Save on Tuesday

Cleveland Indians relief pitcher Cody Allen worked a scoreless ninth inning and earned a save on Tuesday. It was Allen's 27th save of the season. While Brad Hand had seemingly worked his way into the ninth inning, a string of shaky performances combined with eight straight scoreless appearances for Allen led to the latter being […]

Shane Bieber Dazzles on Tuesday

Cleveland Indians rookie starting pitcher Shane Bieber was great on Tuesday, striking out 11 in 6 2/3 innings. He allowed just three hits and three walks without letting a run cross the plate. He'd been struggling a bit of late, allowing at least three runs in five consecutive starts, but Tuesday showed his potential. He's […]

Alshon Jeffery Participating in Individual Drills

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Alshon Jeffery (shoulder) will participate in individual drills on Wednesday. Jeffery seems on track for a "limited" practice, which is certainly much better than the DNP he's been listed as up until now. It's nearly a certainty that he won't play in Week 2, but perhaps if everything goes right he […]

Nick Foles Officially Named the Starter for Week 2

The Philadelphia Eagles officially named quarterback Nick Foles as the starter for Week 2 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. It's football's least shocking news item, as Carson Wentz (knee) still hasn't been fully cleared for contact. Foles wasn't great in Week 1, throwing for just 117 yards, but he managed to lead the Eagles to […]

Corey Kluber Won't Make His Next Scheduled Start

Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Corey Kluber will not make his next start as scheduled. Even though the Cleveland ace only lasted 1 2/3 innings in his last outing, manager Terry Francona has decided to skip Kluber's next turn in the rotation so that he can be better lined up for a start in the postseason. […]

Corey Kluber Struggles Against the Rays on Monday

Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Corey Kluber struggled in his start against the Tampa Bay Rays on Monday. He lasted only 1 2/3 innings, allowing four runs on five hits. It matched the shortest start of his career, but he'll still enter his next start with a 2.91 ERA and a 0.97 WHIP. He's almost guaranteed […]

Eagles Sign Braxton Miller

The Philadelphia Eagles signed wide receiver Braxton Miller, formerly of the Texans, to their practice squad. Miller was a third round pick in the 2016 draft but never amounted to much as a member of Houston's squad. He's clearly talented, though, and the Eagles will hope he develops into a useful piece. With Alshon Jeffery […]

Michael Gallup Makes One Catch on Sunday

Dallas Cowboys rookie wide receiver Michael Gallup only made one catch on Sunday, gaining nine yards. Gallup may eventually have some value this season once he's caught up to the speed of the NFL game, but he'll surely have more struggles in the early part of the season. He's worth hanging on to, but shouldn't […]

Allen Hurns Catches Just One Pass in Week 1

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Allen Hurns managed only one catch, gaining 20 yards in Week 1. The entire Cowboys offense struggled, but Hurns seemed like an afterthought behind Cole Beasley and Deonte Thompson. Hurns will surely have bigger games, but Sunday was proof that he'll carry a low floor into every game this season.

Cole Beasley Leads the Cowboys in Several Categories

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Cole Beasley was the focal point of the offense in Week 1 for some reason, catching seven passes for 73 yards. He was targeted eight times, leading the team in targets, catches, and yards. After gaining a total of 314 yards all last season, Beasley looks like he might be the […]

Ezekiel Elliott Has a Mediocre Week 1

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott had a mediocre first week, running the ball 15 times for 69 yards and a touchdown. He added three catches on four targets for 17 more yards. It was a decent fantasy game for "Zeke" thanks to the touchdown, but the Cowboys offensive line was struggling to hold back […]

Dak Prescott Struggles to Get Anything Going on Sunday

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott struggled to move the ball on Sunday, completing 19 of 29 passes for 170 yards. He did not throw an interception, but he didn't throw a touchdown either. He added five carries for 19 yards, but lost a fumble as well. It was a bad day overall for the Cowboys […]

Marcell Ozuna Stays Hot With Another Home Run

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Marcell Ozuna stayed hot on Saturday, hitting a two-run home run in the ninth inning to tie the game. It was his only hit of the night, but it was a huge one. He finished 1-for-4 with an RBI and two runs scored. Ozuna has now hit three home runs in […]

Bud Norris Takes a Loss on Saturday

St. Louis Cardinals relief pitcher Bud Norris took the loss on Saturday, lowering his record to 3-5. He came into the ninth inning of a tie game and issued two walks while only getting one out and allowing the game winning run to score. Norris seems to have lost his closer's job, but he was […]

Jack Flaherty Lasts Just Five Innings on Saturday

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Jack Flaherty only made it through five innings on Saturday, allowing three runs on four hits, walking four and striking out six. Flaherty is having an amazing rookie season, but this wasn't his best start. He threw 92 pitches, 57 for strikes. He'll look for better results his next time […]
