Quez Watkins Has A Huge Week 2 On Just Two Catches
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Quez Watkins only made two catches in Week 2, but he put up a huge fantasy day regardless with 117 yards. Watkins once again worked as the primary slot receiver for the Eagles, drawing just two targets in a game where the Eagles passing game just wasn't working. A second quarter […]

Philadelphia Eagles running back Boston Scott was absent from the offense again in Week 2. Scott has now certainly lost his spot on offense to rookie Kenneth Gainwell, who received eight touches in a loss against the San Francisco 49ers. Scott has become a special teams player at this point, and will only have fantasy […]

Philadelphia Eagles rookie running back Kenneth Gainwell was heavily involved again in a Week 2 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. Gainwell ran the ball six times, gaining 14 yards and adding two catches for 18 more yards on three targets. Gainwell was still behind lead back Miles Sanders, who got 14 touches, but the […]

Philadelphia Eagles running back Miles Sanders was limited to just 55 yards on 13 carries in a Week 2 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. Sanders worked as the clear lead back again, out-touching rookie Kenneth Gainwell 14-to-8. Sanders also caught one pass for a four yard gain. In was a tough game for the […]
David A Marcillo 3 years agoJalen Hurts Saves His Fantasy Day With His Legs
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts didn't do much with his arm in Week 2, but saved his fantasy day with a decent rushing performance. Hurts completed just 12 passes on 23 attempts, for 190 scoreless yards. He was able to be a force on the ground though, running the ball 10 times for 82 yards […]
David A Marcillo 3 years agoAdam Wainwright Works Around Traffic In Another Quality Start
St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Adam Wainwright worked around some base runners to end up with another quality start. Pitching on Saturday against the San Diego Padres, Wainwright pitched six innings, allowing just two runs on seven hits. He did not issue a walk and struck out two. While it wasn't "Waino" at his best, […]

Miami Marlins rookie starting pitcher Edward Cabrera worked another short outing on Saturday against the Pittsburgh Pirates. In Cabrera's four innings, he allowed three runs (two earned) on six hits and three walks, striking out seven. It was good to see the rookie righty rack up some strikeouts, but he needed 79 pitches (48 strikes) […]

We're almost there, Closers and Saves Report friends. Most fantasy leagues are either deep in the playoffs right now or, in rotisserie leagues, it's the home stretch. If you're still reading this, you're either still in contention for your league's championship (congrats!) or you just have really, really good taste in weekly fantasy baseball articles […]
David A Marcillo 3 years agoTrevor Rogers Lasts Only Four Innings On Wednesday
Miami Marlins rookie starting pitcher Trevor Rogers only made it through four innings in Wednesday's start against the Washington Nationals. The Marlins ended up winning the game late, leaving Rogers with a no decision. In his four innings, he was able to limit damage, allowing just one run on seven hits and a walk while […]
David A Marcillo 3 years agoBryan De La Cruz Just Keeps Getting On Base
Miami Marlins rookie outfielder Bryan De La Cruz just keeps on getting on base and scoring runs. On Wednesday against the Washington Nationals, De La Cruz went 1-for-3 with two walks, three runs scored, and two RBI. His hit was a solo homer in the eighth inning, giving him five home runs and 17 RBI. […]
David A Marcillo 3 years agoJesus Sanchez Homers Twice On Wednesday
Miami Marlins rookie outfielder Jesus Sanchez hit two home runs in Wednesday's win over the Washington Nationals. Sanchez went 2-for-4 with four RBI and two runs scored. Both of his homers were two-run shots, with his second one serving as the game winner. Sanchez has been on fire lately, and he's up to an .804 […]
David A Marcillo 3 years agoEagles Defense Not A Great Option In Week 2
The Philadelphia Eagles defense is not a strong fantasy option for Week 2 despite their solid Week 1 performance. In their first game of the season, the Eagles defense only allowed six points to the Atlanta Falcons. They were able to sack Matt Ryan three times but did not record any turnovers. It seemed more […]
David A Marcillo 3 years agoJake Elliott An OK Option For Week 2 Lineups
Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott is an OK but thoroughly unexciting kicking option for Week 2 lineups. Elliott made a field goal and three extra points in Week 1, and as long as the Eagles offense keeps clicking, he should see plenty of chances to put points on the board. He doesn't have a big […]
David A Marcillo 3 years agoZach Ertz Could Still Be Fantasy Relevant In Week 2
Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz didn't do much in terms of production in Week 1, but there were some encouraging signs regardless. Ertz ran 23 receiving routes, only three fewer than starter Dallas Goedert. Granted, Goedert turned his routes into four catches and a touchdown while Ertz was only thrown to twice, but the […]
David A Marcillo 3 years agoDallas Goedert Looks To Separate In Week 2
Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert was by far the most effective Eagles tight end in Week 1 despite a nearly even split of routes run with Zach Ertz. Goedert ran 26 receiving routes compared to Ertz's 23. Of course, Goedert was able to take five targets and turn them into four catches for 42 […]
David A Marcillo 3 years agoQuez Watkins Not A Strong Week 2 Starter
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Quez Watkins is not a great option in Week 2 fantasy starting lineups. Watkins clearly operated as the team's slot receiver in Week 1, seeing three targets and catching all three for 23 yards. There were some designed plays for him in the first quarter, but then he more or less […]
David A Marcillo 3 years agoJalen Reagor Looks Like A Week 2 Flex Option
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Jalen Reagor looked better in Week 1 than he looked at almost any point in his rookie season. Reagor caught six passes for 49 yards and a touchdown, scoring on a screen play where he was able to show off the athleticism that had the Eagles draft him with their first […]
David A Marcillo 3 years agoDeVonta Smith An Exciting Week 2 Option
Philadelphia Eagles rookie wide receiver DeVonta Smith is an exciting choice for fantasy lineups in Week 2. The Eagles will take on the San Francisco 49ers, who will have a much better defensive secondary than the Atlanta Falcons did in Week 1 when Smith debuted with six catches for 71 yards and a touchdown. He […]
David A Marcillo 3 years agoBoston Scott No Longer Fantasy Relevant
Philadelphia Eagles running back Boston Scott is no longer fantasy relevant after the Eagles backfield usage was displayed in Week 1. Miles Sanders remained the starter and the lead back, but rookie Kenneth Gainwell served as a pass-catching and change-of-pace back. Scott was limited to a special teams role and did not even take the […]
David A Marcillo 3 years agoKenneth Gainwell Not A Starting Option Just Yet
Philadelphia Eagles rookie running back Kenneth Gainwell was surprisingly involved more than expected in Week 1 and should continue to carve out a role in the Philly backfield in Week 2. In his first NFL game, Gainwell saw 11 touches and scored a touchdown. While he clearly worked behind starter Miles Sanders, he also banished […]
David A Marcillo 3 years agoMiles Sanders Has A Tougher Challenge In Week 2
Philadelphia Eagles running back Miles Sanders was solid in Week 1, but he will face a tougher defense and possibly a less favorable game script in Week 2. In Week 1, Sanders saw 19 touches, gaining 74 yards on 15 rushes and catching four passes for 39 yards through the air. While there were some […]
David A Marcillo 3 years agoJalen Hurts Faces A Tougher Challenge In Week 2
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts was outstanding in Week 1 but faces a tougher challenge in Week 2 against the San Francisco 49ers. Hurts was able to torch an awful Atlanta Falcons secondary for 264 yards and three touchdowns in Week 1, adding 62 yards with his legs as well. While he may not see […]
David A Marcillo 3 years agoCowboys Defense Not A Great Week 2 Option
The Dallas Cowboys defense is not a strong fantasy option for Week 2 lineups. Traveling to California to take on the Los Angeles Chargers, the Cowboys defense is currently ranked somewhere in the bottom five of fantasy units for Week 2. Although they certainly looked improved from last year in Week 1 and managed four […]
David A Marcillo 3 years agoGreg Zuerlein Looks For A Better Week 2
Dallas Cowboys kicker Greg Zuerlein will look for better results in Week 2 when he and his team take on the Los Angeles Chargers. Zuerlein attempted eight kicks in Week 1, missing an extra point and two field goals. Because of the Dallas offense, Zuerlein should see plenty of kicking opportunities, but he seems limited […]
David A Marcillo 3 years agoJesus Aguilar Likely Done For The Year
Miami Marlins first baseman Jesus Aguilar (knee) is not expected to be able to return to the field this season. Aguilar was placed on the injured list last week, and it seems like he will simply run out of time and won't be able to return before the end of the season. The big first […]
David A Marcillo 3 years agoDalton Schultz Only An Option In Deep Leagues In Week 2
Dallas Cowboys tight end Dalton Schultz is only a fantasy starting option in very deep leagues and two-tight end formats. Schultz led the Cowboys tight ends in Week 1 with six targets, catching all six for 45 yards. Blake Jarwin figures to get more and more involved as he gets back up to speed after […]
David A Marcillo 3 years agoBlake Jarwin A Depth Option For Week 2
Dallas Cowboys tight end Blake Jarwin is only an option in deep leagues and two-tight end leagues for a Week 2 matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers. Jarwin came back from his ACL tear last week after missing almost all of the 2020 season. In the Week 1 loss to the Tampa Bay Bucs, he […]
David A Marcillo 3 years agoCedrick Wilson An Option In Deeper Leagues In Week 2
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Cedrick Wilson could be a decent option in deeper league lineups for Week 2. Wilson will be taking the place of Michael Gallup (ankle) for at least the next few weeks. Gallup operated as the third wide receiver in Week 1, drawing seven targets before being forced to leave the game. […]
David A Marcillo 3 years agoCeeDee Lamb Looks For Another Great Game In Week 2
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb will look to build on a strong Week 1 in a Week 2 road game against the Los Angeles Chargers. Lamb was great in the first game of the season, seeing 15 targets, catching seven of them for 104 yards and a touchdown. He'll face a much tougher secondary […]
David A Marcillo 3 years agoAmari Cooper A Solid WR1 Starter In Week 2
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Amari Cooper is a solid WR1 option for Week 2 lineups. In Week 1, Cooper saw 16 targets, catching 13 of them for 139 and two touchdowns. He'll face a much tougher secondary in Week 2 against the Los Angeles Chargers, but the Cowboys have proven that they are not afraid […]
