Cowboys Defense Just a Middling Option in Week 5

The Dallas Cowboys Defense is just an okay option in fantasy lineups in Week 5. With the Cowboys and Green Bay Packers battling on Sunday and Green Bay quarterback Aaron Rodgers coming off a 422-yard performance, it's hard to rank the Cowboys defense as high as they've been in previous weeks. They're not a unit […]

Brett Maher Could Have a Big Day in Week 5

Dallas Cowboys kicker Brett Maher could be a strong choice as a fantasy kicker in Week 5. Although Maher has been effective when called upon this season, it hasn't translated into a ton of success in fantasy lineups. The Cowboys host the Green Bay Packers this week though, and in what should be a close […]

Blake Jarwin Not a Startable Tight End in Week 5

Dallas Cowboys tight end Blake Jarwin is not much of a starting option in most formats in Week 5. With the Cowboys going up against a good Green Bay Packers Defense, Jarwin is unlikely to be heavily involved. He's coming off a three-catch game against the Saints and would do well to match that total […]

Jason Witten Shaping Up as a Safe Choice in Week 5

Dallas Cowboys tight end Jason Witten is looking like a safe, low-upside choice for Week 5. With the Cowboys expected to rely mostly on the running game and short passes against a strong Green Bay Packers pass defense, Witten could see a few more targets than usual. He'll likely do what he's done his whole […]

Devin Smith Not a Week 5 Fantasy Option

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Devin Smith is not a starting option in almost any format for Week 5. The Cowboys will be fighting against a strong Green Bay Packers pass defense, and Smith's game simply doesn't match well with the Packers defensive game plan. Smith has been serving as Dak Prescott's deep threat, but with […]

Randall Cobb Not Worth a Start in Week 5

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Randall Cobb is not worth a start in most fantasy formats for Week 5. With the Cowboys taking on a difficult Green Bay Packers Defense, this game will likely be played through running back Ezekiel Elliott. Cobb could be around to snag a few short passes and could even score an […]

Amari Cooper Has a Tough Matchup With the Packers in Week 5

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Amari Cooper has a tough matchup with the Green Bay Packers secondary coming up in Week 5. The Packers Defense has been great at limiting opposing passing games, featuring a strong secondary and a fearsome pass rush. Still, Cooper's talent should allow him to come down with at least a few […]

Tony Pollard Just a Backup for Week 5

Dallas Cowboys rookie running back Tony Pollard is just a backup for a Week 5 game against the Green Bay Packers. Even though the Packers Defense isn't great against opposing run games, Pollard is coming off a zero-touch game against the Saints and won't be heavily involved in the game plan on Sunday. The Cowboys […]

Ezekiel Elliott an Easy RB1 Choice in Week 5

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott is an easy RB1 choice in all fantasy formats in Week 5. The Cowboys will face off against the Green Bay Packers, a defense that has been great at shutting down passing games but not so much with running games. The Cowboys offense should run through "Zeke" in this […]

Dak Prescott Has a Tough Matchup in Week 5

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott has a tough matchup in Week 5 against the Green Bay Packers. Coming off a game in which he struggled against the Saints last week, Prescott gets a strong Packers secondary and pass rush to deal with this week. He's still a QB1 in fantasy, but he's more in the […]

Cowboys Defense Plays Well in Week 4

The Dallas Cowboys Defense played well in Week 4, limiting the New Orleans Saints to just 12 points. The defensive unit recorded five sacks and an interception as well. While the Saints were occasionally able to find some holes in the defense, they were never able to get the ball into the end zone, scoring […]

Brett Maher Kicks a Field Goal and an Extra Point

Dallas Cowboys kicker Brett Maher kicked a field goal and an extra point in Week 4. The Cowboys offense struggled to move the ball on Sunday Night Football, but Maher still did everything that was asked of him. His field goal came from 28 yards out. It's been a somewhat disappointing fantasy season for Maher […]

Devin Smith Can't Catch His Lone Target in Week 4

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Devin Smith wasn't able to catch his only target in a Week 4 loss. Smith had a larger role last week and was expected to serve as the deep threat with Michael Gallup (knee) out, but the Cowboys couldn't get much of anything going against a strong Saints Defense. Smith's fantasy […]

Randall Cobb Catches Just Three Passes in Week 4

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Randall Cobb caught just three of his six targets in Week 4, gaining 41 yards. Even without Michael Gallup (knee) in the lineup, Cobb hasn't been able to do much to remind anyone of his solid seasons as a Green Bay Packer. Cobb and the Cowboys will take on the Packers […]

Amari Cooper Kept Under Control by the Saints

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Amari Cooper came into a Week 4 contest against the New Orleans Saints tied for the league lead in touchdowns. He mostly had a hard time getting anything going in the loss though, catching five passes for 48 scoreless yards. Cooper was targeted eight times, but was ultimately outgained by tight […]

Blake Jarwin Gains 49 Yards in Week 4

Dallas Cowboys tight end Blake Jarwin caught three passes on Sunday Night Football, gaining 49 yards. Jarwin ended up only one yard shy of leading the team in yards, falling behind fellow tight end Jason Witten's 50 yards. Jarwin has made some nice plays, but he'll keep playing behind Witten and won't have a consistent […]

Jason Witten Leads the Cowboys in Receiving in Week 4

Dallas Cowboys tight end Jason Witten led the Cowboys in receiving in Week 4, catching four passes for 50 yards. Witten was mostly solid in this one, but lost a costly fumble after getting the ball punched out of his hands. Witten will continue to be heavily involved, but is a low-upside, touchdown-dependent option in […]

Tony Pollard Doesn't Record an Offensive Stat in Week 4

Dallas Cowboys rookie running back Tony Pollard did not record an offensive stat in a Week 4 loss to the New Orleans Saints. The Cowboys gave running back Ezekiel Elliott 18 carries, and he picked up just 35 yards against a tough Saints Defense. Pollard was able to score a touchdown and gain over 100 yards […]

Ezekiel Elliott Slowed Down by the Saints in Week 4

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott scored a touchdown but didn't do much else in a Week 4 loss against the New Orleans Saints. Elliott ran the ball 18 times for just 35 yards. His touchdown came on a third quarter plunge from the one-yard line. He was able to add 30 yards on six […]

Dak Prescott Kept On Ice By Saints Defense

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott was held in check by the Saints Defense in Week 4. He ended up completing 22 of his 33 passes for 223 yards. He didn't throw a touchdown but did throw an interception. His pick was on a game-ending deep ball, so it wasn't really on him. Still, it was […]

Closers and Saves Report - Week 26 Waiver Wire

Well, it's over. Baseball's regular season comes to a close this weekend, and with it most fantasy leagues will wrap up as well. Daily fantasy will go strong into the postseason, but most standard leagues will be looking toward next season, especially dynasty and keeper leagues. While the vast majority of fantasy players play in […]

Eagles Defense Struggles in Week 4

The Philadelphia Eagles Defense struggled in Week 4, allowing 27 points to Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers. The Eagles recorded just one sack and one interception in this one, but let Rodgers throw for 422 yards. With an already decimated secondary that saw Avonte Maddox leave on a stretcher, the Eagles defense won't […]

Jake Elliott Kicks Four Extra Points in Week 4

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott was perfect in Week 4, hitting all four of his extra-point attempts. The Eagles did not need him for a field-goal try in this one, so despite doing everything he was asked, Elliott ended up with a less-than-stellar fantasy performance. There are certainly better days ahead for Elliott, but Thursday […]

Nelson Agholor Does Absolutely Nothing in Week 4

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Nelson Agholor did absolutely nothing on the field of play on Thursday night. Agholor was not even targeted in the passing game after scoring a touchdown and gaining over 100 yards last week. Agholor made some ugly drops despite his big game in Week 3, likely leading many fantasy owners to […]

Mack Hollins Catches Only One Pass in Week 4

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Mack Hollins made just one catch in Week 4, gaining 13 yards. Hollins played a bigger role in this one due to DeSean Jackson (abdomen) missing the game, but the Eagles offense mostly went through the running game. Hollins will take a back seat in Week 5 assuming Jackson returns to […]

Alshon Jeffery Scores a Touchdown in Week 4

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Alshon Jeffery scored a touchdown in Week 4. Jeffery missed Week 3 with a calf injury and didn't look fully healthy in this one, but he made three catches, gaining 38 yards. His touchdown came on a six-yard end zone pass from Carson Wentz in the second quarter. With plenty of […]

Dallas Goedert Scores a Touchdown in Week 4

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert scored a touchdown in Week 4 against the Green Bay Packers. Goedert made two catches, gaining 16 yards. His score came on a short three-yard strike from Carson Wentz. Goedert is a very talented receiver, but he won't have consistent enough targets unless something happens to Zach Ertz. Goedert […]

Zach Ertz Makes Seven Catches in Week 4

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz made seven catches in Week 4, gaining 65 yards. Ertz led the team in catches by a wide margin, but was unable to come down with a touchdown. That's two straight somewhat pedestrian efforts from Ertz, but his usage shows that he's due for a breakout performance very soon.

Darren Sproles Gets One Carry in Week 4

Philadelphia Eagles running back Darren Sproles received just one carry in Week 4, gaining four yards. He didn't make a catch in the passing game. Sproles has become almost exclusively a special teams player, and can be dropped in most standard formats. He could develop some value if another Eagles running back gets hurt, but […]

Miles Sanders Runs Well But Gets Vultured in Week 4

Philadelphia Eagles rookie running back Miles Sanders ran the ball well in Week 4, but watched Jordan Howard score three touchdowns. Sanders ran the ball 11 times for 72 scoreless yards. He did not make a catch in the passing game. Sanders ran well when given the chance, but Howard got seven more touches and […]
