Carson Wentz Throws for Three Touchdowns in London
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz completed 21 of his 30 pass attempts on Sunday, connecting for 286 yards, three touchdowns, and one interception. He also added 28 rushing yards. Wentz had an up-and-down first two drives, but he was able to settle in after that and turned in a solid game despite facing off against […]
David A Marcillo 6 years agoEagles Defense a Solid Option in Week 8
The Philadelphia Eagles defense is a solid option in Week 8 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. While they rank 24th in standard scoring leagues, they will be taking on a team that is in shambles and just benched its starting quarterback last week. Blake Bortles will start for the Jags, but his leash is shorter than […]
David A Marcillo 6 years agoZach Ertz Always an Elite Option at Tight End
Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz is a strong option regardless of the matchup. The Eagles travel to London to face the Jaguars this weekend. Ertz has been one of the best players in fantasy football this season, as he'd be in the WR1 ranks for half-PPR and PPR leagues if he played the position. […]
David A Marcillo 6 years agoNelson Agholor a Risky Play in Week 8
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Nelson Agholor is a risky play in Week 8 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. While the elite Jaguars pass defense can be exploited by slot receivers like Agholor (four of the five touchdowns they've allowed to wide receivers have been to slot receivers), he's still put up fewer than 46 yards in […]
David A Marcillo 6 years agoAlshon Jeffery Still Usable Despite a Tough Matchup
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Alshon Jeffery faces a tough challenge in Week 8, traveling to London to take on the Jacksonville Jaguars. His upside may be a bit limited against Jacksonville's top pass defense, but he's still the overall WR5 since rejoining the lineup and simply cannot be left on the bench. Owners can temper […]
David A Marcillo 6 years agoCorey Clement Only a Flex Option in Week 8
Philadelphia Eagles running back Corey Clement is not a great fantasy option for Week 8 in London against the Jaguars. The Eagles have struggled running the ball lately, and Clement is stuck in a time share with Wendell Smallwood. Smallwood has actually out-touched Clement 30-24 over the past two weeks. Clement may have more receiving […]
David A Marcillo 6 years agoWendell Smallwood a Low-End Flex Play in Week 8
Philadelphia Eagles running back Wendell Smallwood is a low-end flex play, at best, for Week 8. The Eagles will be in London to take on the Jacksonville Jaguars. Smallwood has out-touched his backfield mate Corey Clement 30-24 over the past two weeks, but the Eagles have shown an overall inability to run the ball effectively […]
David A Marcillo 6 years agoCarson Wentz Faces a Tough Challenge in Week 8
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz will face a tough challenge in Week 8, traveling to London to take on the Jacksonville defense. While the Jaguars defense isn't the powerhouse it was last season, they are still ranked first in passing yards allowed, second in yards per attempt, and third in passing points allowed per attempt. […]
David A Marcillo 6 years agoDallas Goedert Catches Four Passes and Scores a Touchdown
Philadelphia Eagles rookie tight end Dallas Goedert caught four passes on Sunday, gaining 43 yards and scoring a touchdown. He was targeted five times. While Goedert's usage has varied wildly from game to game, he's done a lot with his opportunities when given the chance.
David A Marcillo 6 years agoZach Ertz Catches Nine Passes in Week 7
Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz caught nine passes for 138 yards on Sunday. He was targeted 11 times. Ertz consistently embarrassed the Carolina defense and came about a yard from scoring a touchdown. He's a top-three tight end option whenever he takes the field.
David A Marcillo 6 years agoNelson Agholor Gains Just 20 Yards in Week 7
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Nelson Agholor only gained 20 yards on Sunday despite catching six passes. The Eagles tried to get Agholor the ball on quick passes, but the Carolina defense was consistently able to smother him as soon as he caught the ball. While the seven targets were nice to see, Agholor's inability to […]
David A Marcillo 6 years agoAlshon Jeffery Scores Again in Week 7
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Alshon Jeffery caught seven passes for 88 yards and a touchdown in Week 7. Jeffery looked completely dominant at times against the Carolina defense. He's been playing at an impressive level since returning from his shoulder injury and should continue to be one of the key pieces in the Eagles offense.
David A Marcillo 6 years agoWendell Smallwood Leads the Eagles Backfield in Week 7
Philadelphia Eagles running back Wendell Smallwood led the Eagles backfield with 11 touches, catching two passes for five yards and running the ball nine times for 32 yards. Corey Clement touched the ball 10 times, and with Darren Sproles expected back from a hamstring injury before long, the Eagles backfield is about to get even […]
David A Marcillo 6 years agoCorey Clement Struggles in a Week 7 Loss
Philadelphia Eagles running back Corey Clement struggled to get anything going on Sunday, running the ball eight times for just six total yards. He also caught two passes for 16 yards. His 10 touches were one behind Wendell Smallwood's 11, and the Eagles backfield will likely get even messier once Darren Sproles returns from his […]
David A Marcillo 6 years agoCarson Wentz Plays Well Despite an Eagles Loss
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz played well on Sunday, completing 30 of his 37 pass attempts for 310 yards and two touchdowns. It looked like he was leading the Eagles to an easy win before the defense fell apart in the second half. Wentz has looked great for four weeks in a row and should […]
David A Marcillo 6 years agoGeoff Swaim a Low-Upside Option for Week 7
Dallas Cowboys tight end Geoff Swaim is a low-upside option for Week 7 against Washington. He's been the most productive and only fantasy-relevant tight end in Dallas so far this season, catching a total of 16 passes for 180 yards and a touchdown in six games. He seemed to be developing somewhat of a Jason […]
David A Marcillo 6 years agoMichael Gallup Not a Good Week 7 Option
Dallas Cowboys rookie wide receiver Michael Gallup is not a recommended fantasy option for Week 7 against Washington. Even though Gallup ran a season-high 29 pass routes in Week 6, he only came down with one catch on two targets. Still, it was encouraging to see the rookie more involved in the offense after averaging […]
David A Marcillo 6 years agoAllen Hurns Not Recommended In Week 7
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Allen Hurns is not a starting fantasy option in standard-sized leagues for Week 7 against the Redskins. Hurns did not record a catch in Week 6 despite being targeted five times and now has eight catches for 84 yards total this season. That makes for a promising first half in fantasy, […]
David A Marcillo 6 years agoDon't Expect a Repeat Performance From Cole Beasley
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Cole Beasley is not a recommended option in Week 7 despite an excellent performance against a usually tough Jacksonville defense in Week 6. Beasley exploded for 101 yards and two touchdowns on nine catches last week, but he'd only caught 10 passes in the previous four games combined. The Cowboys passing […]
David A Marcillo 6 years agoEzekiel Elliott is Always a Strong Fantasy Option
Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott is always a strong fantasy option, and Week 7 is no different. The Cowboys are taking on Washington, and despite ranking seventh in rushing yardage allowed (69.4 yards per game), they haven't taken on a running game close to Elliott's. Elliott has one of the highest floors among running […]
David A Marcillo 6 years agoDak Prescott Not Recommended in Week 7
Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott is not a recommended fantasy starter in a Week 7 matchup against Washington. Prescott had his best game of the season in Week 6, but it was mostly due to his own rushing output and the fact that the Jacksonville defense forgot about Cole Beasley. Prescott is unlikely to repeat […]
David A Marcillo 6 years agoZach Ertz a Surefire TE1 Again in Week 7
Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz is a set-and-forget TE1 for Week 7 against the Carolina Panthers. Ertz drew nine targets in Week 6, and that was the fewest he'd seen all season. The Panthers defense, over the last four games, has allowed tight ends to catch 25 passes for 279 yards and three touchdowns. […]
David A Marcillo 6 years agoNelson Agholor Should Not Be Trusted After a Fluke Week 6
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Nelson Agholor shouldn't be trusted in Week 7 despite coming off a 91-yard performance in Week 6. Agholor has totaled just nine targets over the past two weeks and has five or fewer in three of the past four games. Last week's 91 yards came on a broken play and a […]
David A Marcillo 6 years agoAlshon Jeffery Looks Set for Another Strong Performance
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Alshon Jeffery looks set to put up big numbers again in Week 7 against the Carolina Panthers. Jeffery has received 23.9 percent of quarterback Carson Wentz's targets since returning from injury and has recorded eight catches in two of the three games he's played. He scored twice in Week 6 and […]
David A Marcillo 6 years agoWendell Smallwood an Unexciting Week 7 Option
Philadelphia Eagles running back Wendell Smallwood makes for an unexciting Week 7 fantasy option against the Carolina Panthers. Smallwood is certainly in the Flex conversation, but his fellow running back, Corey Clement, seems like the better option. Smallwood is averaging just 5.4 yards after the catch, good for 38th among 39 qualifying running backs. Meanwhile, […]
David A Marcillo 6 years agoCorey Clement the Best Bet in the Eagles Backfield
Philadelphia Eagles running back Corey Clement is the best bet in the Eagles backfield for Week 7 against the Carolina Panthers. He and Wendell Smallwood will continue to share work, but now that Clement seems fully healed from his early season quad injury, he's the more talented player. He is currently fourth among all running […]
David A Marcillo 6 years agoCarson Wentz Set Up For a Strong Week 7 Performance
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz is a good choice for a Week 7 fantasy lineup. Wentz has scored more points than his previous game in each of his starts, keeping his fantasy arrow pointing straight up. Any signs of rust he may have shown at first are completely gone, and he's back to being the […]
David A Marcillo 6 years agoBrett Maher Has a Strong Week 6 Performance
Dallas Cowboys kicker Brett Maher was able to rack up points in Week 6, connecting on four field goals and four extra points. Maher's field goals came from 50, 46, 32, and 55 yards out. It was a strong game from the former CFL kicker, and he should continue to put up decent numbers as […]
David A Marcillo 6 years agoGeoff Swaim Only Catches Two Passes in Week 6
Dallas Cowboys tight end Geoff Swaim only recorded two catches on Sunday, gaining 21 yards. Swaim looked like he was becoming a decent floor tight end option, but in a game where Dallas scored 40 points, Swaim only came down with two grabs. He's still the preferred tight end to own in Dallas, but he's […]
David A Marcillo 6 years agoAllen Hurns Doesn't Show Up on the Week 6 Box Score
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Allen Hurns was targeted five times in Week 6, but ended up with no catches. The disappearing act was just another disappointing day for the Dallas wide out. Expected to take over as the team's WR1, Hurns has instead recorded a total of eight catches for 84 yards through all six […]
