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.

Cole Beasley Leads the Cowboys in Several Categories

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Cole Beasley was the focal point of the offense in Week 1 for some reason, catching seven passes for 73 yards. He was targeted eight times, leading the team in targets, catches, and yards. After gaining a total of 314 yards all last season, Beasley looks like he might be the […]

Ezekiel Elliott Has a Mediocre Week 1

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott had a mediocre first week, running the ball 15 times for 69 yards and a touchdown. He added three catches on four targets for 17 more yards. It was a decent fantasy game for "Zeke" thanks to the touchdown, but the Cowboys offensive line was struggling to hold back […]

Dak Prescott Struggles to Get Anything Going on Sunday

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott struggled to move the ball on Sunday, completing 19 of 29 passes for 170 yards. He did not throw an interception, but he didn't throw a touchdown either. He added five carries for 19 yards, but lost a fumble as well. It was a bad day overall for the Cowboys […]

Marcell Ozuna Stays Hot With Another Home Run

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Marcell Ozuna stayed hot on Saturday, hitting a two-run home run in the ninth inning to tie the game. It was his only hit of the night, but it was a huge one. He finished 1-for-4 with an RBI and two runs scored. Ozuna has now hit three home runs in […]

Bud Norris Takes a Loss on Saturday

St. Louis Cardinals relief pitcher Bud Norris took the loss on Saturday, lowering his record to 3-5. He came into the ninth inning of a tie game and issued two walks while only getting one out and allowing the game winning run to score. Norris seems to have lost his closer's job, but he was […]

Jack Flaherty Lasts Just Five Innings on Saturday

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Jack Flaherty only made it through five innings on Saturday, allowing three runs on four hits, walking four and striking out six. Flaherty is having an amazing rookie season, but this wasn't his best start. He threw 92 pitches, 57 for strikes. He'll look for better results his next time […]

Roberto Perez Drives in Four Runs on Saturday

Cleveland Indians catcher Roberto Perez had an excellent day on Saturday, driving in four runs while going 2-for-4 with two runs scored. Perez homered in the fifth inning and hit a double as well. On the season, Perez is hitting just .157 with a .506 OPS. Despite the strong day, Perez is not a recommended […]

Cody Allen Picks Up a Save on Saturday

Cleveland Indians relief pitcher Cody Allen picked up his 26th save of the season on Saturday, tossing a scoreless ninth inning to lead his team to a 9-8 win. Allen allowed a hit and struck out a batter in his inning of work. Allen lowered his ERA to 4.23. While Brad Hand still seems to […]

Adam Plutko Coughs Up Five Runs on Saturday

Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Adam Plutko got hit hard on Saturday, allowing five runs on nine hits in just 4 2/3 innings. He didn't issue a walk and struck out four, allowing three home runs along the way. Plutko's ERA rose to 5.35, and he continues to be a poor streaming option in any format.

Carlos Carrasco Dominates the Blue Jays on Friday

Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Carlos Carrasco was completely dominant on Friday but was denied a victory. In eight innings, he allowed just one earned run (two runs total) on six hits and one walks while striking out 14. He very much deserved his 17th win of the season, but Cleveland ultimately ended up losing this […]

Austin Gomber Puts Up Another Quality Start on Friday

St. Louis Cardinals rookie starting pitcher Austin Gomber put together his third consecutive quality start on Friday, but it wasn't enough to earn a win. He pitched six innings, allowing three runs on six hits in six innings of work. Gomber has been solid in his first real taste of the big leagues, posting a […]

Marcell Ozuna Goes Yard Twice on Friday

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Marcell Ozuna hit two home runs on Friday, finishing 2-for-4 after his second multi-home run game in the last four days. Ozuna has shown a bit less power than expected this season, but he's still put up a solid .279/.322/.431 line and 73 RBI.

Darren Sproles Leads the Eagles Backfield in Snaps

Philadelphia Eagles running back Darren Sproles led the Eagles backfield in snaps on Thursday night. He ran the ball five times for 10 yards and secured four catches for 22 yards. Sproles looked as good as ever in this one despite the putrid quarterback play from Nick Foles. Jay Ajayi did end up with more […]

Corey Clement Gets Five Carries on Thursday

Philadelphia Eagles running back Corey Clement ran the ball five times on Thursday night, gaining 26 yards. Almost all of Clement's yardage came on a huge 21-yard run, he was bottled up otherwise. Mixing into the backfield for hurry up work, Clement did what he was supposed to do. He seemed to be operating behind […]

Zach Ertz Hauls in Five Passes on Thursday

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz caught five passes on Thursday night, gaining 48 yards. He had a long gain of 18, but also was charged with his first drop since the 2016 season. It was an awful game by quarterback Nick Foles, but Ertz still managed to put up a decent enough performance. He'll […]

Nelson Agholor Catches Eight Passes on Thursday

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Nelson Agholor was targeted 10 times on Thursday night, catching eight passes. He somehow managed to gain just 33 yards total on those eight catches. Quarterback Nick Foles played very poorly, throwing errant passes that Agholor was able to catch, but often had to go down with immediately. It was a […]
