John Hightower Catches Two Balls In Week 5

Philadelphia Eagles rookie wide receiver John Hightower was targeted six times in Week 5, making two catches for 18 yards. Hightower was expected to take on a larger role this week, and he did in terms of targets. He came into the game with a high of four targets and a season-total of nine, so […]

Richard Rodgers Catches One Pass In Week 5

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Richard Rodgers made one catch in Week 5, gaining 18 yards. He was only targeted the one time, and his target came from rookie quarterback Jalen Hurts on a special formation. Rodgers ended up with the same number of catches and three times as many yards as Zach Ertz in this […]

Greg Ward Scores A Touchdown In Week 5

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Greg Ward caught four passes for 26 yards and a touchdown in a Week 5 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Ward was targeted five times. His touchdown came on an eight-yard pass near the end of the third quarter. Ward previously looked like quarterback Carson Wentz's favorite target in the passing […]

J.J. Arcega-Whiteside Appears In A Week 5 Box Score

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver J.J. Arcega-Whiteside caught his only target in a Week 5 loss, gaining 37 yards. Arcega-Whiteside has barely been good enough able to play football this year, as he was inactive in Week 4 and saw two targets in Weeks 1 through 3 combined. All of this is despite the Eagles having […]

Travis Fulgham Takes Over The Eagles Offense In Week 5

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Travis Fulgham had a huge game in Week 5, catching 10 passes for 152 yards and a touchdown. Fulgham was targeted 13 times, leading the team in catches, yards, and targets all by a wide margin. In fact, all other Eagles players totaled 11 catches for 124 yards and one touchdown. […]

Boston Scott Gets Just One Touch In Week 5

Philadelphia Eagles running back Boston Scott received just one touch on offense in Week 5. He ran the ball one time, picking up three yards. Eagles running backs totaled just 12 carries (and Carson Wentz got four) but outside of a 74-yard run by Miles Sanders, the running game wasn't able to do anything against […]

Miles Sanders Scores Twice In Week 5

Philadelphia Eagles running back Miles Sanders made one huge play in Week 5, ending up with a solid fantasy performance. He ran the ball 11 times for 80 yards and two touchdowns, adding two catches on four targets for 19 more yards. Sanders scored on a 74-yard run in the first quarter. He ran the […]

Carson Wentz Leads The Eagles To Another Loss

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz played in another game in Week 5, leading the Eagles to a 38-29 loss against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Wentz attempted 35 passes, completing 20 of them for 258 yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions. Wentz's second interception was a last-second arm punt to end the game, but it still counts […]

Cowboys Defense Not A Good Start Despite A Good Matchup

The Dallas Cowboys Defense is not a good fantasy option in Week 5 despite going up against a struggling New York Giants offense. The Giants offense has been good for opposing defenses, but the Cowboys unit has allowed 39, 36, and 49 points over their past three games. Week 4 saw them allow 508 total […]

Greg Zuerlein Almost Sure To Improve In Week 5

Dallas Cowboys kicker Greg Zuerlein kicked just two extra points in a Week 4 loss despite the Cowboys scoring 38 points. It was a bizarre stat line for the veteran kicker, as he didn't get a chance to kick a field goal and saw his team go for two-point conversions after scoring touchdowns. Zuerlein's two […]

Dalton Schultz A Low-End TE1 In Week 5

Dallas Cowboys tight end Dalton Schultz (thigh) is expected to play in Week 5 against the New York Giants. Schultz was hurt near the end of the game in Week 4, suffering a bruised thigh, but he's reportedly been fine in practice and isn't in danger of missing Sunday's game. Schultz remains a low-end TE1 […]

Cedrick Wilson Not A Reliable Starter In Week 5

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Cedrick Wilson is not a reliable fantasy starter in Week 5 lineups. After not being targeted in Weeks 1 or 2, Wilson exploded for two long touchdowns in Week 3 before falling back down to Earth with 3/34/0 in Week 4. He was in on just 22% of the team's offensive […]

Michael Gallup Looking To Come Back Strong In Week 5

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Michael Gallup had a quiet Week 4 and will look to bounce back in a Week 5 matchup against the New York Giants. Gallup caught just two passes last week despite the Cowboys throwing 58 passes in the game. He seems like he's been supplanted as the team's second wide receiver […]

CeeDee Lamb Ascending Ahead Of Week 5

Dallas Cowboys rookie wide receiver CeeDee Lamb has seen his fantasy stock rise throughout the season and now seems to be firmly above Michael Gallup in the Dallas wide receiver pecking order. Last Week, Lamb scored two touchdowns while catching five passes for 79 yards while Gallup caught just two passes for 29 total yards. […]

Amari Cooper A Strong WR1 Option In Week 5

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Amari Cooper is set up for another strong WR1 week in most formats, but especially in PPR leagues. Cooper and the Cowboys take on the New York Giants in Week 5. The Giants haven't done much to stop opposing wide receivers so far, and they haven't faced anyone like Cooper yet. […]

Tony Pollard Remains A Bench Stash In Week 5

Dallas Cowboys running back Tony Pollard remains a bench stash ahead of a Week 5 matchup against the New York Giants. Pollard could be a league-winner if starter Ezekiel Elliott were to miss time, but unless that happens, Pollard has very little value on his own. Pollard was in on a season-high 27% of offensive […]

Ezekiel Elliott Set For Another Productive Game In Week 5

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott is set up for another productive fantasy performance in a Week 5 matchup against the New York Giants. Elliott ran the ball 12 times last week, gaining 54 yards, but added eight catches for 71 yards as well. It was a rather pedestrian performance for him, but his involvement […]

Dak Prescott An Easy QB1 Choice In Week 5

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott is an easy QB1 choice for all fantasy lineups in Week 5. Prescott is on pace to throw for 6,760 yards, and while he likely won't keep up that ridiculous pace, the Cowboys Defense has proven that Prescott will need to be throwing a lot to keep up in most […]

Eagles Defense A Decent Option In Week 5

The Philadelphia Eagles Defense is a decent fantasy option in Week 5 lineups. The Eagles defense excelled in Week 4, sacking the quarterback five times, recovering a fumble, intercepting two passes, and scoring a touchdown. They'd come into the game without forcing any turnovers for the season. Going against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 5, […]

Jake Elliott Just OK As A Week 5 Kicker

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott is just OK as a kicking option in fantasy lineups in Week 5. Elliott has been solid and consistent this season, but the Eagles offense just isn't giving him enough chances to score points. Most fantasy leagues will have higher-upside options available on the waiver wire. Elliott has made seven […]

Zach Ertz Has A Tough Matchup In Week 5

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz has a tough matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 5. His toughest matchup, however, may be having to play in the Eagles offense. Ertz caught four passes last week, gaining just nine yards total despite playing without Dallas Goedert (ankle). While it's possible Ertz's best days are behind […]

DeSean Jackson Likely Too Risky To Start In Week 5

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson (hamstring) returned to practice on Wednesday and will likely be listed as questionable for Week 5 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Jackson will be way too risky to start in most formats even if he gets the go-ahead from the Eagles medical team. The Eagles passing game has been struggling […]

Alshon Jeffery Could Make His 2020 Debut In Week 5

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Alshon Jeffery (foot) is questionable for Week 5 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Jeffery was questionable for Week 4 as well before ultimately being held out, but he seems to have a better chance to suit up this week. With the Eagles desperate for any warm bodies that can catch footballs, Jeffery […]

John Hightower Not An Exciting Week 5 Choice

Philadelphia Eagles rookie wide receiver John Hightower doesn't make for an exciting Week 5 fantasy option. Despite a lack of bodies in the Eagles wide receiving room, Hightower only came up with two catches last week. While he may be slightly more involved this week, the Eagles face a tough Steelers pass rush in a […]

Greg Ward A Deep League Option Only In Week 5

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Greg Ward is only a fantasy option in very deep leagues for Week 5. The Eagles are facing off against the Pittsburgh Steelers, who wreak havoc on opposing quarterbacks. Carson Wentz has been struggling regardless of his opponents, so this one could get ugly pretty quickly. Ward should be heavily targeted, […]

Boston Scott Not A Week 5 Fantasy Option

Philadelphia Eagles running back Boston Scott is not a fantasy option in a Week 5 game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Scott only touched the ball twice on offense in the win against the San Francisco 49ers, and likely won't be that much more involved in Week 5 either. Scott is playing far behind starter Miles […]

Miles Sanders Has A Tough Week 5 Matchup

Philadelphia Eagles running back Miles Sanders has a tough matchup in a Week 5 game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Sanders firstly has to deal with a struggling Eagles offense all around him, but then he's also staring at a very strong running defense going against him. Sanders is usually involved in the passing game, so […]

Carson Wentz Not A Strong Option In Week 5

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz was just a tiny bit better in Week 4 but still hasn't shown enough to be a viable starting option in standard leagues for Week 5 lineups. The Steelers Defense has held 15 of the last 16 opposing quarterbacks to fewer than 7.6 yards per attempt, making Wentz's floor perhaps […]

Yimi Garcia Blows Game 1

Miami Marlins relief pitcher Yimi Garcia blew the game (with an assist from manager Don Mattingly) in Game 1 of the National League Division Series. Garcia got just one out, allowing three runs on three hits. He also allowed two inherited runners to score. Starting pitcher Sandy Alcantara was inexplicably allowed to start the seventh […]

Sandy Alcantara Allows Five Runs In Game 1

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Sandy Alcantara pitched extremely well for the first six innings of Tuesday's first game of the National League Division Series. Alcantara was sent back in for the seventh inning to face the Braves order for the fourth time, an unbelievably bad move by manager Don Mattingly in a year full of […]
