Jake Elliott Makes a Field Goal and Three Extra Points in Week 3

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott made all of his kicks in Week 3, putting up a 25-yard field goal and three extra points. Elliott didn't get as many chances as expected to kick field goals, but he was still accurate as ever. He should keep being a solid fantasy kicker on a good offensive team.

J.J. Arcega-Whiteside Catches Just One Pass in Week 3

Philadelphia Eagles rookie wide receiver J.J. Arcega-Whiteside caught just one pass in Week 3, gaining 10 yards. The rookie was expected to take on a bigger role in Week 3 since DeSean Jackson (groin) and Alshon Jeffery (calf) were both out, but instead it was Nelson Agholor and Mack Hollins taking on the brunt of […]

Nelson Agholor Scores Two Touchdowns in Week 3

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Nelson Agholor scored two touchdowns in Week 3, catching eight passes for 50 yards. Agholor's touchdowns came on a 20-yard pass in the third quarter and a two-yard pass late in the fourth. It was a full Agholor game, as he also dropped some key passes on critical plays. Agholor's expanded […]

Mack Hollins Catches Four Passes in Week 3

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Mack Hollins caught four passes in a Week 3 loss, gaining 62 yards. Hollins played a bigger role in this one with DeSean Jackson (groin) and Alshon Jeffery (calf) out. Rookie J.J. Arcega-Whiteside was expected to play a larger role than Hollins, but it was Hollins that made more noise on […]

Zach Ertz Catches Four Passes in Week 3

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz caught four passes in Week 3, gaining 64 yards. Ertz was expected to be a target monster with Alshon Jeffery (calf) and DeSean Jackson (groin) out, but the Eagles ran most of their offense through Nelson Agholor and the running game. Ertz disappointed a bit this week, but should […]

Cowboys Defense Does Well As Expected Against The Dolphins

The Dallas Cowboys Defense did about as well as expected against an always-scuffling Miami Dolphins team in Week 3. They allowed just six points on two field goals, adding three fumbles (one lost) and three sacks. They were unable to come up with any interceptions, but it was still a strong performance as expected. The […]

Brett Maher Makes a Field Goal and Four Extra Points in Week 3

Dallas Cowboys kicker Brett Maher made one of his two field goal attempts and all four of his extra points in Week 3. Maher missed a 55-yarder, but made a 28-yard kick and was perfect on extra point attempts. Maher should be one of the more consistent kickers in the NFL going forward, especially once […]

Blake Jarwin Makes Just One Three-Yard Catch in Week 3

Dallas Cowboys tight end Blake Jarwin didn't do much in Week 3, catching just one pass for a three-yard gain. Jason Witten made three catches and the Cowboys passing game as a whole wasn't needed much in Week 3, so there wasn't much left for Jarwin. Jarwin has shown some promise here and there, but […]

Randall Cobb Catches Two Passes in Week 3

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Randall Cobb caught just two passes in Week 3, gaining 23 yards. Cobb was thought to perhaps take on a larger role with the absence of Michael Gallup (knee), but the Cowboys passing game as a whole took a break as the team coasted to an easy win against the fish-out-of-water […]

Devin Smith Comes Down With Two Passes in Week 3

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Devin Smith caught two passes in Week 3, gaining 39 yards. Smith was expected to have an expanded role with Michael Gallup (knee) out, but with the Cowboys easily coasting against the Miami Dolphins, the passing game was mostly not needed. Smith should have a decent role next week, but will […]

Jason Witten Catches Three Passes in Week 3

Dallas Cowboys tight end Jason Witten caught three passes in a Week 3 win. His three catches gained 54 yards, as Witten rumbled for way more yardage than his usual "catch-and-fall" game. Many fantasy owners likely expected Witten to come down with a score against the Miami Dolphins "defense," but the Cowboys actually were only […]

Amari Cooper Scores Two Touchdowns in Week 3

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Amari Cooper scored two touchdowns in Week 3. He caught six passes, gaining 88 yards. His first touchdown was on a first quarter five-yard pass from Dak Prescott, and his second came on a 19-yard strike in the third quarter. Cooper played well in a game against the useless Miami Dolphins […]

Darren Sproles Records Two Touches in Week 3

Philadelphia Eagles running back Darren Sproles recorded just two touches on offense in Week 3. He ran the ball twice, gaining just four yards. He was unable to come up with anything in the passing game. With Alshon Jeffery (calf) and DeSean Jackson (groin) out, some expected Sproles to take on an increased role, but […]

Jordan Howard Scores a Touchdown in Week 3

Philadelphia Eagles running back Jordan Howard found the end zone in Week 3. Howard ran the ball 11 times for just 37 yards, but ran in a one-yard goal line score in the first quarter. Howard didn't make an impact in the passing game. Rookie running back Miles Sanders saw 13 carries, so Howard was […]

Miles Sanders Gains Over 100 Yards but Fumbles Twice in Week 3

Philadelphia Eagles rookie running back Miles Sanders had some ups and downs in Week 3. He ran the ball 13 times for 53 yards and added two catches for 73 yards, but fumbled twice, losing one. Sanders had real fumbling issues in college and they seem to have followed him to the NFL, but he […]

Tony Pollard Gains Over 100 Yards in Week 3

Dallas Cowboys rookie running back Tony Pollard had an excellent game in Week 3, running the ball 13 times for 103 yards and a touchdown while adding three catches for 25 more yards. Pollard scored on a fourth-quarter run from 16 yards out. In a game where the Cowboys had control all afternoon, Pollard got […]

Ezekiel Elliott Amasses 125 Yards on the Ground in Week 3

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott ran the ball 19 times in Week 3, picking up 125 yards on the ground. He added two catches for 14 more yards. Elliott's 125 yards were clearly great, but his fantasy owners were likely expecting at least one touchdown against the sport's worst team, the Miami Dolphins. Elliott […]

Carson Wentz Throws Two Touchdowns in Week 3

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz was solid in Sunday's Week 3 loss, tossing two touchdowns. He completed 19 of his 36 passes for 259 yards. He added 33 yards on four carries as well. Wentz's touchdowns came on a 20-yard pass and a two-yard pass, both to wide receiver Nelson Agholor. Even without his top […]

Dak Prescott Throws Two Touchdowns and Runs One In

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott had a productive Week 3, throwing two touchdowns and running one in as well. Prescott completed 19 of his 32 passes for 246 yards. His passing touchdowns both went to Amari Cooper, one for five yards and another for 19. His rushing touchdown was on an eight-yard run in the […]

Carlos Martinez Saves Saturday's Game

St. Louis Cardinals closer Carlos Martinez saved his 23rd game of the season on Saturday, locking down a 9-8 win over the Cubs. Martinez tossed a scoreless inning, walking a batter and striking out two. He needed just 16 pitches to deliver a win for the Cardinals. Martinez hasn't been perfect in his first season […]

John Gant Throws Two Pitches and Picks Up His 11th Win

St. Louis Cardinals relief pitcher John Gant earned his 11th win of the season on Saturday to improve to 11-1. He threw just two pitches, getting the only batter he faced out on his second pitch. Gant had some periods of being unhittable this season, but suffered through some less effective stretches as well. Overall, […]

Dakota Hudson Lasts Just Three Innings on Saturday

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Dakota Hudson only made it through three innings on Saturday, allowing three runs on three hits and four walks. He struck out two and needed 62 pitches (30 balls, 32 strikes) to get just nine outs. Hudson has been solid and is among the league leaders in wins, but tonight […]

Brad Hand Reappears on Saturday

Cleveland Indians closer Brad Hand tossed an inning on Saturday, his first appearance since September 9th. Hand has been unavailable due to a tired arm, but after MRI results came back clean, it was only a matter of time until he'd be back on the mound. Saturday's outing was a 13-pitch perfect inning where he […]

Closers and Saves Report - Week 25 Waiver Wire

Another week of head-to-head fantasy playoffs or another week closer to wrapping up in rotisserie leagues. Either way, here's hoping it all went well for you! Everyone's favorite Closers and Saves Report writer made the playoffs in every one of his leagues and got knocked out of said playoffs in every single league last week. […]

Cowboys Defense the Top Week 3 Option in Fantasy

The Dallas Cowboys Defense is the top defensive unit for Week 3. Taking on a Miami Dolphins offense that has scored a total of 10 points all season, the Cowboys defense is almost a lock to put up the most fantasy points of the week at the position. With turnover juggernauts Ryan Fitzpatrick and Josh […]

Brett Maher Should Kick Plenty of Extra Points in Week 3

Dallas Cowboys kicker Brett Maher should see plenty of the field in Week 3. Going up against a "football team" called the Miami Dolphins, the Cowboys should have no problem scoring plenty of touchdowns on Sunday. The only minor concern with Maher is that he won't be needed for field goals and will just accumulate […]

Jason Witten a Slightly Better Option Than Usual in Week 3

Dallas Cowboys tight end Jason Witten has shown that he still has a nose for the end zone, scoring a touchdown a week so far. He's been the same Jason Witten that he was before he left the field to join the broadcast booth: get open for a short pass, catch it, fall down. That […]

Devin Smith to Play a Starting Role in Week 3

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Devin Smith will potentially be working in a starting role in Week 3 against the Miami Dolphins. Smith hauled in all three of his targets for 74 yards and a touchdown in Week 2. With Michael Gallup (knee) out for this game and Randall Cobb likely sticking to the slot, Smith […]

Randall Cobb Could See a Bigger Role in Week 3

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Randall Cobb could play a larger role in Week 3, but is still not a recommended fantasy starter. Cobb has 11 targets through the first two weeks as the slot receiver for the Cowboys and could see more play with Michael Gallup (knee) missing a few games. Still, most of Cobb's […]

Amari Cooper an Easy WR1 Option for Week 3

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Amari Cooper is an easy WR1 option for Week 3. With the Cowboys taking on the inept Miami Dolphins, Cooper is being ranked as a top-five fantasy wide receiver for this week. Especially with Michael Gallup (knee) out for this one, Cooper should see a monster share of the targets from […]
