Jake Elliott Makes Two Field Goals and an Extra Point in Week 5

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott made two field goals in Week 5 along with an extra point. His field goals came from 30 and 28 yards out. Elliott has been a solid fantasy kicker this season, making all eight of his extra point attempts and six of his eight field goal tries.

Shelton Gibson Catches a Long Pass in Week 5

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Shelton Gibson caught one pass on Sunday, gaining 48 yards. He only made one catch, but he made it count, gaining almost half the field. He's got some nice upside long term, but likely won't make enough noise this season to be worth rostering in redraft leagues.

Jordan Matthews Targeted Just Once in Week 5

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Jordan Matthews was targeted just once on Sunday, catching it for a four-yard gain. Matthews hasn't done much in his return to the Eagles, and his playing time dropped after he played on 47 snaps in Week 4. He's not a legitimate fantasy option in any format at this point.

Nelson Agholor Catches Four Passes in Week 5

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Nelson Agholor caught all four of his targets in Week 5, gaining 45 yards. The four targets was a season low for Agholor, and he's been quickly trending downwards since Carson Wentz took over at quarterback. He's on the WR3/4 borderline and is better as a depth piece than a starter […]

Alshon Jeffery Catches Just Two Passes in Week 5

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Alshon Jeffery was targeted eight times in Week 5, but only came down with two passes, gaining 39 yards. Jeffery seemed to be running well, but he was shadowed by Vikings defensive back Xavier Rhodes, who was able to limit Jeffery's chances. He'll have another tough matchup against the Giants and […]

Dallas Goedert Targeted Just Twice in Week 5

Philadelphia Eagles rookie tight end Dallas Goedert was only targeted twice in Week 5, catching both for 16 yards. Since Alshon Jeffery returned to the field, Goedert has only caught four balls for 29 yards. He's an excellent dynasty/keeper piece, but can't be started this season as long as the Eagles pass catchers are healthy.

Zach Ertz Finally Scores a Touchdown in Week 5

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz finally scored a touchdown in Week 5 against the Minnesota Vikings. He caught 10 passes on 11 targets, gaining 110 yards. He's made at least 10 catches in three games already this season, and he's on pace for about 1400 yards this season. He's one of the top-three tight […]

Wendell Smallwood Scores a Touchdown in Week 5

Philadelphia Eagles running back Wendell Smallwood ran the ball three times for 27 yards, adding three catches for 44 yards and a touchdown. With Darren Sproles (hamstring) out and Corey Clement (quad) active but not recording a touch, Smallwood ran well behind Jay Ajayi. He's mostly a replacement-level talent, but Smallwood could continue to get […]

Corey Clement Doesn't Touch a Football in Week 5

Philadelphia Eagles running back Corey Clement was active for Week 5 against the Minnesota Vikings, but did not record a touch in the game. Clement has been dealing with a quad injury and hasn't touched the ball in a game since Week 3. The Eagles play again on Thursday, and with Jay Ajayi (knee) also […]

Jay Ajayi Struggles and Gets Hurt in Week 5

Philadelphia Eagles running back Jay Ajayi had a rough game on Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings, running the ball eight times for 29 yards. He also caught one pass for five yards, but hurt his knee and lost a critical goal-line fumble. Ajayi was out-gained by replacement level player Wendell Smallwood, 71-34. Ajayi hasn't seen […]

Carson Wentz Tosses Two Touchdowns in Week 5

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz completed 24 of his 35 passes for 311 yards in Week 5, including two touchdowns. Wentz also carried the ball five times for 26 yards, losing a fumble. That's now two games in a row for Wentz with 300 passing yards and two touchdowns. He's moving his way back into […]

Cody Allen Only Gets One Out on Friday

Cleveland Indians relief pitcher Cody Allen was only able to record one out in Game 1 of the Division Series on Friday. He allowed a home run to Martin Maldonado to give the Astros a 5-2 lead in the seventh inning. Including the regular season, it was the 12th home run allowed by Allen.

Corey Kluber Struggles Against the Astros on Friday

Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Corey Kluber looked human in his Division Series start against the Houston Astros, allowing four runs on six hits and two walks in just 4 2/3 innings. Kluber only struck out two and allowed three home runs, including back-to-back shots for the first time all season. If Kluber gets another chance […]

Terrance Williams Will Not Play in Week 5

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Terrance Williams is out for Week 5 due to a foot injury. In three games this season, Williams has caught two passes for 18 yards. That's it. It seems entirely possible that the Cowboys could have not ruled him out, had him not play, and no one would have noticed. He's […]

Geoff Swaim Could Prove Useful in Week 5

Dallas Cowboys tight end Geoff Swaim could be a useful piece in two-tight end leagues in Week 5. He's received five and seven targets over the past two weeks, including two targets inside the 10 yard line. The Texans have allowed a top-8 score in three of the four games they've played so far. Swaim […]

Ezekiel Elliott Should Be a Top Option in Week 5

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott should be among the top running back options again in Week 5 against the Houston Texans. Elliott has the most reliable workload in the NFL, and he finally saw the increased usage in the passing game last week that was promised throughout training camp and the preseason. Elliott is […]

Dak Prescott Has an Excellent Matchup in Week 5

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott has an excellent matchup in Week 5 against the Houston Texans. Prescott just had his best game of the season last week, and now gets to take on the defense that ranks 30th in passing points allowed. Prescott is still a low-upside play in this offense, but he should be […]

Zach Ertz Should Continue His TE1 Season in Week 5

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz is set for another strong performance in Week 5 against the Minnesota Vikings. Ertz has not even scored a touchdown this season, but he's finished each week as a TE1 regardless. The Vikings have allowed a strong finish to the two legitimate tight ends they've faced this season. Ertz […]

Nelson Agholor Looking at Another Slow Game in Week 5

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Nelson Agholor is not a recommended start in Week 5 against the Minnesota Vikings. With Alshon Jeffery back on the field and Zach Ertz commanding targets over the middle, Agholor has basically been working as a receiving running back, averaging fewer than five yards per target. He may provide a decent […]

Alshon Jeffery Primed for Another Strong Week

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Alshon Jeffery is set up for another nice week in Week 5 against the Minnesota Vikings. Jeffery's return in Week 4 was great, as he caught eight passes for 105 yards and a touchdown. He was on the field for 83% of the offensive snaps, and that number will likely increase […]

Jay Ajayi Could Be Disappointing in Week 5

Philadelphia Eagles running back Jay Ajayi could disappoint in Week 5 against the Minnesota Vikings. The Vikings defense has allowed the sixth-fewest points to opposing running backs, and have not allowed a touchdown to the position yet. Ajayi is dealing with a pain tolerance related back injury, but he was still able to collect 18 […]

Carson Wentz Set for Another Solid Week

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz should have another solid week in Week 5 against the Minnesota Vikings. He finished as the QB15 last week in his second week back on the field and should continue to move up into the QB1 ranks. He has wide receiver Alshon Jeffery back, but might be without Corey Clement […]

Jordan Matthews Catches a Long Touchdown in Week 4

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Jordan Matthews caught just one pass in Week 4, but he made it count, taking it 56 yards for a touchdown. Matthews signed recently, so his role could grow a bit going forward, but he'll remain behind at least Alshon Jeffery, Nelson Agholor, and Zach Ertz for targets. He's someone to […]

Dallas Goedert Only Makes Two Catches in Week 4

Philadelphia Eagles rookie tight end Dallas Goedert only made two catches on Sunday, gaining 13 yards. With Alshon Jeffery back on the field and Zach Ertz dominating the passing game, quarterback Carson Wentz had little reason to look Goedert's way. He's still a huge talent that must be owned in all dynasty and keeper leagues, […]

Zach Ertz Gains 112 Yards in Week 4

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz made 10 catches on Sunday, gaining 112 yards. With quarterback Carson Wentz looking more like himself and wide receiver Alshon Jeffery back on the field, Ertz had more room to run after his catches. He still hasn't scored a touchdown this season, but he's shown that he doesn't need […]

Nelson Agholor Disappoints in Week 4

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Nelson Agholor disappointed on Sunday, catching just five passes for 22 yards. With Alshon Jeffery back in the lineup, Agholor was no longer the top receiver on the field for the Eagles. He'll have better weeks than this one, but Agholor's value will certainly take a bit of a dip now […]

Alshon Jeffery Comes Back With a Great Performance in Week 4

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Alshon Jeffery came back strong in Week 4. Coming off a shoulder injury, this was Jeffery's first time on the field this season. He caught eight passes for 105 yards and a touchdown. Jeffery makes the Eagles offense so much better, especially because he's a different type of receiver than what […]

Wendell Smallwood Gets Eight Touches in Week 4

Philadelphia Eagles running back Wendell Smallwood touched the ball eight times in Week 4 despite Corey Clement (quad) being inactive. Smallwood was way behind Jay Ajayi, who got 18 touches and ran well. Smallwood ran the ball five times for 39 yards and caught three passes for 15 more yards. He's played well when given […]

Jay Ajayi Comes Back Strong in Week 4

Philadelphia Eagles running back Jay Ajayi led the Eagles backfield in Week 4, running the ball 15 times for 70 yards and catching three passes for 11 more yards. With Corey Clement (quad) a surprise inactive, Ajayi got all but eight of the backfield touches. A touchdown would have made for a better fantasy day, […]

Carson Wentz Throws for 348 Yards in Week 4

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz played well in Week 4, completing 33 of his 50 pass attempts for 348 yards and two touchdowns. He also ran the ball twice for eight yards total. Wentz looked much better than he did in Week 3, but the Eagles lost in overtime to the Tennessee Titans. With Alshon […]
