Torrey Smith Catches Five Passes in the Super Bowl

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Torrey Smith caught five of his nine targets in the Super Bowl, gaining 49 yards. Smith was disappointingly inconsistent this season, defining the boom-or-bust stereotype, without enough booms to justify the busts. If he remains in the same role next season, he won't be worth owning in the majority of formats.

Nelson Agholor Catches Nine Passes in the Super Bowl

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Nelson Agholor was targeted 11 times in the Super Bowl, catching nine passes for 84 yards. He also ran the ball once for nine yards. He was clearly part of the game plan for the Eagles, and should remain the same for next season. Agholor had a slow start to his […]

Alshon Jeffery Catches Three Passes in the Super Bowl

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Alshon Jeffery caught three passes on eight targets in the Super Bowl, gaining 73 yards and scoring a touchdown. Jeffery's touchdown was an impressive jump ball in the end zone. He started the season off very slowly, but came on strong in the second half of the year and ended up […]

Corey Clement Delivers Huge Plays in the Super Bowl

Philadelphia Eagles rookie running back Corey Clement ran the ball three times for eight yards in the Super Bowl, adding four catches for 100 yards and a touchdown. Clement had three enormous plays through the air, including a touchdown that the NFL might have considered overturning. Clement was an undrafted rookie, but he showed plenty […]

LeGarrette Blount Has an Excellent Revenge Game in the Super Bowl

Philadelphia Eagles running back LeGarrette Blount had an excellent performance in the Super Bowl on Sunday. Blount's #revengegame featured 14 carries for 90 yards and a touchdown. He had an amazing 36-yard burst on an option play and a 21-yard touchdown. Playing against his former team, Blount played one of his better games as an […]

Jay Ajayi Makes the Most of Limited Touches in the Super Bowl

Philadelphia Eagles running back Jay Ajayi ran the ball nine times for 57 yards in the Super Bowl. Ajayi had a 26-yard run in the second quarter, but was out-touched by a very effective LeGarrette Blount. Ajayi showed the ability to be a bell cow back, but couch Doug Pederson likes using a rotation in […]

Nick Foles Wins Super Bowl 52 MVP

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Nick Foles won Super Bowl 52 MVP on Sunday, leading his team to a victory over the New England Patriots. Foles completed 28-of-43 passes for 373 yards, three touchdowns, and one interception. Foles also caught a touchdown on a perfectly-called play that worked much better than the version the Patriots tried. Foles […]

2018 Early Bullpen Outlooks - American League Central

The American League Central comes second in our series of 2018 Early Bullpen Outlooks. Check out the first of the series, on the American League East, right here. The AL Central doesn't have bullpens with anywhere near the firepower of the AL East, but there are still some solid arms that can contribute to fantasy […]

La'el Collins Restructures His Contract With Cowboys

Dallas Cowboys offensive tackle La'el Collins had $150,000 of his 2018 salary converted into a signing bonus. He will receive that money immediately, but the team will be able to spread the cap hit evenly across the next two seasons. The move gives the Cowboys a little bit of help with the salary cap. Collins […]

Alex Reyes Enters 2018 Without a Set Role

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Alex Reyes is already in Jupiter, Fla., getting a head start on spring training. The young right-hander is recovering from last year's Tommy John Surgery, and the team has set May 1 as a goal for having him back on the mound. What they have not yet set, though, is […]

Eagles Fully Healthy Heading Into Super Bowl Weekend

The Philadelphia Eagles are fully healthy heading into the weekend of the Super Bowl. Defensive tackle Timmy Jernigan was back on the practice field on Friday after missing the previous two days due to an illness that had been going around the team. Several players missed practice earlier in the week or practiced but did […]

Torrey Smith Not a Safe Bet to Repeat His Last Performance

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Torrey Smith had a nice game the last time the Eagles played, totaling 69 yards. Most of that was on a 41-yard flea-flicker play, and Smith has only amassed 61 yards total in every other Nick Foles start combined. He's a boom-or-bust player without the huge boom upside to be worth […]

Nelson Agholor Faces a Good Matchup in the Super Bowl

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Nelson Agholor has been trending downwards lately, but he has the best matchup of any Eagles pass catcher on Sunday for Super Bowl 52. Agholor was targeted 16 times in the first two games that Nick Foles started, but has since only been targeted 10 times, catching nine passes for 94 […]

Alshon Jeffery Will Face Yet Another Strong Cornerback in the Super Bowl

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Alshon Jeffery was no stranger to elite cornerback play this season, and he'll get to deal with it yet again in the Super Bowl this Sunday. Jeffery will face off against Patriots cornerback Stephon Gilmore for most of Sunday's snaps. While Jeffery did not record a single 100-yard game this season […]

Zach Ertz Faces a Tough Matchup In Super Bowl

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz faces a tough matchup in the New England Patriots defense this Sunday in the Super Bowl. He is still Zach Ertz, though, and that always makes for a good option at tight end. The Patriots defense only allowed four tight ends to reach 50 yards this season, with 68 […]

Corey Clement Could Have a Sneakily Good Game in the Super Bowl

Philadelphia Eagles rookie running back Corey Clement could be a darkhorse for some nice production in the Super Bowl on Sunday. Clement has carved out a role as the team's third-down and passing-play back. If the Eagles were to fall behind early on Sunday, they would undoubtedly go all out in trying to get back […]

LeGarrette Blount Will Play a Specific Role in the Super Bowl

Philadelphia Eagles running back LeGarrette Blount will be playing a very specific role in the Super Bowl on Sunday. Since the emergence of Jay Ajayi as the feature back, Blount has taken on a goal-line/short-yardage role. He's very much set in that role, though, as Ajayi has only rushed once inside the five-yard line since […]

Jay Ajayi a Good Choice at Running Back in the Super Bowl

Philadelphia Eagles running back Jay Ajayi is a strong choice at the running back position for Super Bowl 52 against the New England Patriots. The Eagles offense has relied heavily on Ajayi in the playoffs, and there's no reason to think that will change. Barring injury or a game that quickly gets away from the […]

Nick Foles Looking Like a Serviceable Quarterback Option in the Super Bowl

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Nick Foles will certainly be the second best quarterback playing in the Super Bowl, but he should be a serviceable option this Sunday. Foles has had two huge games and two mediocre games since taking over for the injured Carson Wentz (knee). Foles threw seven touchdowns in 71 pass attempts in the two […]

Michael Martinez Undergoes Surgery to Repair a Ruptured Achilles Tendon

Cleveland Indians utility player Michael Martinez underwent surgery this week to repair a ruptured Achilles tendon. He was performing agility exercises in his native Dominican Republic when he was injured. Rehabilitation for a ruptured Achilles usually takes at least six months, so Martinez's entire 2018 season is in jeopardy right now. He had signed a […]

Several Eagles Starters Dealing With Illnesses

Several Philadelphia Eagles players are dealing with illnesses with only a few days to go before the Super Bowl. Defensive tackle Tim Jernigan and cornerback Ronald Darby both missed Thursday's media availability. Linebacker Mychal Kendricks said, "I'm getting over it right now. It's like a cold, dude. I don't know. The whole team has it, […]

2018 Early Bullpen Outlooks - American League East

Baseball season is almost back, but before that comes fantasy baseball draft season. In this series of articles to be published over the next several weeks, we will look into the bullpens of all 30 teams, taking a look at closers, setup men, and other bullpen arms in the process. Some teams have roles already […]

Preston Claiborne Signs Minor League Deal With Indians

Right-handed pitcher Preston Claiborne has signed a minor league contract with the Cleveland Indians, which includes an invitation to spring training. Claiborne appeared in just one game last season at the major league level, but he pitched well in Triple-A. In 38 Triple-A appearances, he put up a sparkling 1.89 ERA. The 30-year-old will be […]

Jay Ajayi Limited in Friday's Practice

Philadelphia Eagles running back Jay Ajayi (ankle) was limited in practice on Friday. Ajayi started out the week as a full participant on Wednesday, but then got in just limited work on Thursday and Friday. With the Super Bowl still over a week away, Ajayi's mid-week downgrade is very likely nothing to worry about. He'll […]

Kenjon Barner Not Practicing; Nelson Agholor Working as Kick Returner

Philadelphia Eagles running back Kenjon Barner did not practice on Thursday. The reason is unknown so far. Barner plays a bit role on offense as the fourth running back, but he's a key part of special teams as the kick returner. In his place, wide receiver Nelson Agholor was practicing with the special teams unit, […]

Dannell Ellerbe Practicing on Thursday

Philadelphia Eagles middle linebacker Dannell Ellerbe (hamstring) is practicing on Thursday. Ellerbe missed the NFC Championship Game against the Vikings, but the fact that he's practicing with more than a week to go before the Super Bowl makes it seem like he should be ready to go on Feb. 4. Ellerbe coming back would be […]

Cowboys Don't Want to Use the Franchise Tag on DeMarcus Lawrence

Dallas Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones said that the team does not want to have to use the franchise tag on impending free-agent defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence. "Our first goal is to sign him to a long-term deal, obviously," Jones said. "To me, the only reason you use a franchise tag is to hopefully […]

Dez Bryant Called Out By Stephen Jones

Dallas Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones called out wide receiver Dez Bryant again on Thursday, saying, "I think he needs to understand that it’s not something that’s just affecting him, it does affect his teammates." Jones called Bryant "a distraction" a few days ago and is clearly not trying to take that back. Owner […]

Cowboys Want to Sign DeMarcus Lawrence to a Long-Term Deal

The Dallas Cowboys have made it clear that they want to sign defensive tackle DeMarcus Lawrence to a long-term deal this offseason. Lawrence is set to become a free agent, but the team can keep him around by using the franchise tag if a long-term deal cannot be reached. “Our first goal is to sign […]

Cowboys Hire Kris Richard

The Dallas Cowboys hired former Seattle Seahawks defensive coordinator Kris Richard as their defensive backs coach and pass-game coordinator. Richard was let go by the Seahawks this offseason after the team failed to make the playoffs for the first time in six seasons. He'd worked as Seattle's defensive coordinator since 2015, but was a defensive […]
