Corey Clement Takes Advantage of His Opportunity in Week 2

Philadelphia Eagles running back Corey Clement took advantage of his opportunity in Week 2, running the ball six times for 30 yards and catching five passes for 55 yards. With Darren Sproles inactive and Jay Ajayi missing almost the whole first half with a back injury, Clement got a chance to show off a bit […]

Jay Ajayi Battles Through an Injury in Week 2

Philadelphia Eagles running back Jay Ajayi battled through a back injury to rush seven times for 23 yards and a touchdown, adding a four-yard catch. Ajayi missed almost the entire first half, but was more involved in the second half. The touchdown saved what would have been a dud of a fantasy day. He's definitely […]

Nelson Agholor Sees Double-Digit Targets Again

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Nelson Agholor drew 12 targets on Sunday, catching eight of them for 95 yards and a touchdown. He has now drawn more than 10 targets for both of the first two weeks of the season. Alshon Jeffery (shoulder) is expected to miss at least one more game, and Carson Wentz (knee) […]

Nick Foles Exceeds Expectations in Week 2

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Nick Foles exceeded expectations in Week 2, throwing for 334 yards and a touchdown, completing 35 of his 48 passes. Foles ended up with decent looking numbers, but he did struggle a bit on the field, taking six sacks and taking a while to get things going against a bad Tampa Bay […]

Week 25 MLB Closers and Saves Report

If you're still reading this, you're most likely either in the playoffs or winding down the year in a rotisserie league. Either way: congrats! This week was another interesting one in bullpens across the league, one that will certainly affect not only the fantasy playoffs but also the real MLB playoffs next month. There's bullpen […]

Jose Ramirez Gets Cleveland's Only Hit of the Day

Cleveland Indians infielder Jose Ramirez got the only hit of the day for his team, hitting a solo home run in the seventh inning. Rays starter Blake Snell was throwing a no-hitter before Ramirez came up to ruin it. The Cleveland hitters were unable to get any other hits after Ramirez's blast. It was his […]

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.
