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... Read More

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... Read More

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... Read More

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... Read More

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... Read More

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... Read More

Tony Pollard Could Get Some Run in Week 3

Dallas Cowboys rookie running back Tony Pollard is too risky to start in Week 3 even though he could see a decent number of touches. Taking on the helpless Miami Dolphins, the Cowboys may turn to Pollard for parts of the second half in order to limit starting running back Ezekiel Elliott's snaps. Still, there... Read More

Ezekiel Elliott Could Be the Top Running Back in Week 3

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott should be one of the top running back options for Week 3 and has No. 1 overall upside. Taking on the tanking Miami Dolphins, Elliott should find plenty of room to run, especially since the Cowboys will likely work on the ground for most of the second half in... Read More

Dak Prescott One of the Top Options in Week 3

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott is one of the top fantasy quarterback options in a Week 3 game against the Miami Dolphins. Prescott threw three touchdowns in Week 2 and added 69 yards rushing. He'll face off against a barely-there Miami Dolphins team that has been outscored 102-10 through two weeks. Prescott is a surefire... Read More

Eagles Defense Not an Exciting Week 3 Option

The Philadelphia Eagles Defense is not a particularly exciting option in a Week 3 matchup against the Detroit Lions. The Eagles defense came into the season with a lot of hype but have been mostly disappointing through the first two weeks. With two of the Eagles' top offensive playmakers likely to miss the game, the... Read More

Jake Elliott Looking at a Strong Week 3

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott is looking like a strong option in a Week 3 matchup against the Detroit Lions. Elliott is always a solid and consistent option, but with the Eagles expected to be missing two of their top playmakers on Sunday, Elliott may see a few more field goal attempts as the passing... Read More

Zach Ertz Set for a Potentially Huge Week 3

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz is set for what could potentially be an enormous Week 3 performance. Ertz saw 16 targets from quarterback Carson Wentz in Week 2 and could be in line for a similar number or perhaps even more against Detroit in Week 3. With top receiving options DeSean Jackson (groin) and... Read More

J.J. Arcega-Whiteside Suddenly a Starter in Week 3

Philadelphia Eagles rookie wide receiver J.J. Arcega-Whiteside is suddenly looking at a starting role in Week 3. A preseason hero, Arcega-Whiteside was far behind on the wide receiver depth chart until both Alshon Jeffery and DeSean Jackson got hurt in Week 2. Both were forced to leave the game and Arcega-Whiteside was on the field... Read More

Mack Hollins to See an Expanded Role in Week 3

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Mack Hollins will likely see an increased offensive role in a Week 3 contest against the Detroit Lions. With top wide receivers Alshon Jeffery and DeSean Jackson both expected to miss at least one game, Hollins will be needed on offense. He's been mostly working on special teams, but he saw... Read More

Nelson Agholor Thrust Into a Starting Role for Week 3

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Nelson Agholor will likely be thrust into an every-down role in Week 3. With top wide receivers DeSean Jackson (groin) and Alshon Jeffery (calf) unlikely to suit up, Agholor will be wide receiver atop the depth chart. He spent the second half in Week 2 in the role, and despite some... Read More

Corey Clement Not a Fantasy Option in Any Format

Philadelphia Eagles running back Corey Clement is not a fantasy option in any format for Week 3. Clement has settled into a special teams role and has seen almost no offensive snaps so far this season. An injury to another running back could potentially thrust Clement into a more significant offensive role, but for now... Read More

Darren Sproles Not Recommended in Week 3

Philadelphia Eagles running back Darren Sproles is not a recommended fantasy option in any format in Week 3. After a somewhat surprisingly productive Week 1, Sproles took an expected step back in Week 2 and recorded just two catches for five yards. He did not record a single carry in Week 2. Sproles is a... Read More

Jordan Howard Too Risky of a Fantasy Option in Week 3

Philadelphia Eagles running back Jordan Howard is not a recommended fantasy option in a Week 3 matchup against the Detroit Lions. Howard picked up just 18 yards on the ground in Week 2 and will only put up a decent fantasy score if he scores a touchdown. A running back that is so touchdown-dependent without... Read More

Miles Sanders Has an Unexciting Week 3 Matchup

Philadelphia Eagles rookie running back Miles Sanders was one of the few Eagles offensive starters to escape Week 2 without an injury, but he's still not a very exciting fantasy choice for Week 3. Taking on a decent Detroit Lions run defense, Sanders is currently ranked on the RB2/3 turn. He could make for a... Read More

Carson Wentz Will Likely Be Without His Best Receivers in Week 3

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz likely won't be quite as strong a fantasy option as usual against the Detroit Lions in Week 3. Wentz watched both of his top wide receivers, DeSean Jackson and Alshon Jeffery, leave the game in Week 2 with injuries. Both are officially questionable for Week 3, but most beat writers... Read More

Marcell Ozuna Drives in Four Runs on Monday

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Marcell Ozuna drove in four runs on Monday, providing all of the offense for starting pitcher Dakota Hudson and the Cardinals. Ozuna went 2-for-4 with a home run and a double, scoring a run and raising his slash line to .252/.332/.495. The home run was his 28th of the season, and... Read More

Carlos Martinez Picks Up His 20th Save on Monday

St. Louis Cardinals closer Carlos Martinez collected his 20th save of the season on Monday, getting the last out of the game by throwing just two pitches. Martinez has been solid in his first go around as a closer, posting the 20 saves and an even 3.00 ERA. He should be a solid contributor in... Read More

Dakota Hudson Throws Seven Strong Innings on Monday

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Dakota Hudson threw seven great innings on Monday, allowing just two runs on five hits and two walks. Hudson was able to limit hard contact, but he didn't get too many swings-and-misses, racking up just one strikeout. Still, it was a solid performance from Hudson, who lowered his ERA to... Read More

Eagles Defense Gets Three Interceptions in Week 2

The Philadelphia Eagles Defense had an up-and-down Week 2. They allowed 24 points to the Atlanta Falcons, but they also recorded three interceptions and a sack. It was a performance that showed what the Eagles defense could do, but also how they might struggle. Still, they performed somewhat better than expected, as this game was... Read More

Jake Elliott Kicks Two Field Goals in Week 2

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott made both of his field goal attempts in Week 2. His kicks came from 34 and 41 yards out. Elliott did not attempt any extra points, as the Eagles were playing from behind and decided to go for a two-point conversion after their touchdowns. Elliott should continue to be one... Read More

J.J. Arcega-Whiteside Makes His First NFL Catch in Week 2

Philadelphia Eagles rookie wide receiver J.J. Arcega-Whiteside made his first NFL catch on Sunday night, gaining four yards. It was his only catch on a night where top wide receivers Alshon Jeffery and DeSean Jackson were forced to leave in the first half along with tight end Dallas Goedert. Despite all of the preseason hype,... Read More

Darren Sproles Gets Just Two Offensive Touches in Week 2

Philadelphia Eagles running back Darren Sproles got just two offensive touches in Week 2. He didn't record a carry, but caught two passes for five yards. Fantasy owners who misinterpreted the role Sproles played in Week 1 were left with what was basically a hole in their lineup in Week 2. Sproles is the Eagles... Read More

Mack Hollins Catches Five Passes in Week 2

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Mack Hollins showed up in Week 2 with five catches for 50 yards. Hollins was thrust into a bigger role after Alshon Jeffery and DeSean Jackson were both forced to leave the game in the first half. Hollins could have some WR3/FLEX appeal in Week 3 if the top two wide... Read More

Zach Ertz Catches Eight Passes in Week 2

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz caught eight passes in Week 2, gaining 72 yards. Ertz watched wide receivers DeSean Jackson and Alshon Jeffery leave the game in the first half due to injury, but Nelson Agholor ended up drawing most of Carson Wentz's targets in the second half. Still, Ertz's weekly TE1 outlook will... Read More
