Boston Scott Not A Strong Play Despite A Great Matchup

Philadelphia Eagles running back Boston Scott has an excellent matchup against a struggling Cincinnati Bengals run defense in Week 3, but is still not a recommended fantasy starter in most formats. Scott ran clearly behind starter Miles Sanders in Week 2, even though Sanders was just coming off a hamstring injury that kept him out […]

Miles Sanders Has An Excellent Week 3 Matchup

Philadelphia Eagles running back Miles Sanders has an excellent Week 3 matchup and could be one of the top fantasy running backs for the week. There were concerns around Sanders in Week 2 mostly based on usage as he was coming off a hamstring injury that kept him out of Week 1, but he was […]

Carson Wentz Has A Good Matchup But Is Hard To Trust In Week 3

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz has a great matchup on paper in Week 3 against the Cincinnati Bengals, but the Eagles offense has been such a mess this season that it's hard to trust him as anything more than a mid-range QB2. Wentz will have more upside than most other quarterbacks in that range, but […]

Dakota Hudson Done For The Year

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Dakota Hudson is done for the year due to a forearm strain. The Cardinals made it official by transferring Hudson from the 10-day injured list to the 45-day injured list. Hudson was very effective this season, pitching to a 2.77 ERA in 39 innings. It's unknown just how long he'll […]

Andrew Miller Earns A Save On Sunday

St. Louis Cardinals relief pitcher Andrew Miller earned his third save of the season in Sunday's win over the Pittsburgh Pirates. With the Cardinals dealing with injuries throughout their bullpen, it's been unclear who might serve as closer, but it looks like it'll be Miller's job, at least as the head of a closer-by-committee situation. […]

Jack Flaherty Strikes Out 11 On Sunday

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Jack Flaherty pitched very well in Sunday's win. He pitched six innings, allowing just one run on two hits and two walks while striking out 11. Flaherty was objectively awful his last time out, so it was good to see him back at his best in this one. The win […]

Brandon Kintzler Earns His 10th Save Of The Season

Miami Marlins closer Brandon Kintzler earned his 10th save of the season in Game 1 of Sunday's doubleheader against the Washington Nationals. Kintzler tossed a scoreless seventh inning, but he certainly made it interesting, allowing two hits and a walk. Kintztler isn't a huge strikeout numbers closer, but he tends to get the job done. […]

Sandy Alcantara Notches A Win And A Quality Start

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Sandy Alcantara pitched well in Game 1 of Sunday's doubleheader against the Washington Nationals. He earned the win by tossing six innings, allowing just one run on five hits and two walks while striking out four. Alcantara improved to 3-2 and lowered his ERA to 3.12. He'll likely get one more […]

Greg Zuerlein Makes Two Field Goals And Four Extra Points

Dallas Cowboys kicker Greg Zuerlein made all six of his kicking attempts in Week 2, including four extra points and two field goals. One of the field goals was a game-winner from 46 yards out, giving the Cowboys an improbable 40-39 win after being down 20-0 at the end of the first quarter. Zuerlein's other […]

Dalton Schultz Leads The Cowboys In Targets In Week 2

Dallas Cowboys tight end Dalton Schultz led the team in targets with 10 in a Week 2 win over the Atlanta Falcons. He caught nine of those passes for 88 yards and a touchdown. After starting tight end Blake Jarwin went down with a knee injury in Week 1, it was assumed the Cowboys would […]

Amari Cooper Gains An Even 100 Yards In Week 2

It was a strong performance from Cooper and the entire […]

CeeDee Lamb Leads The Cowboys In Receiving In Week 2

Tony Pollard Gets Three Touches In Week 2

Dallas Cowboys running back Tony Pollard only got three touches in Week 2. It was one touch less than the four he received in Week 1. Pollard continues to work as Ezekiel Elliott's direct backup and has league-winning upside if anything happens to Elliott, but has very little if any stand-alone fantasy value. He should […]

Ezekiel Elliott Scores Again In Week 2 Comeback

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott scored a touchdown in Sunday's incredible comeback victory over the Atlanta Falcons. Elliott ran the ball 22 times for 89 yards and a score, adding six catches for 33 more yards. Quarterback Dak Prescott ended up scoring three of his own rushing touchdowns, so this could have been an […]

Dak Prescott Throws For 450 And Scores Three Times

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott led an amazing comeback in Week 2, beating the Atlanta Falcons 40-39. Prescott completed 34 of his 47 pass attempts for 450 yards and one touchdown.

Jake Elliott Kicks Two Field Goals And An Extra Point In Week 2

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott made all of his kicks in Week 2. He connected on an extra point and on two field goals, one from 38 yards out and the other from 33. It was a solid performance from Elliott surrounded by a very rough one by the Eagles offense. Elliott should remain a […]

J.J. Arcega-Whiteside Doesn't Record An Offensive Stat In Week 2

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver J.J. Arcega-Whiteside was targeted twice in the Eagles Week 2 loss to the Los Angeles Rams. He was unable to come up with either target, leaving him with a stat line full of zeros. Arcega-Whiteside was hyped as potentially having a significant role in the Eagles offense this season, but he […]

Greg Ward Targeted Just Once In Week 2

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Greg Ward saw only one target in Week 2, catching it for a five yard gain. With Carson Wentz throwing 43 passes, it was disappointing to see only one go in Ward's direction. DeSean Jackson and rookie Jalen Reagor played in two-wide sets, with tight ends Zach Ertz and Dallas Goedert […]

Dallas Goedert Makes Four Catches In Week 2

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert caught four passes in a Week 2 loss to the Los Angeles Rams, gaining 30 yards. Goedert ended up second on the team in targets with eight, but couldn't do much with those targets as the entire Eagles offense struggled at home. It was still encouraging to see Goedert […]

Jalen Reagor Catches All Four Of His Targets In Week 2

Philadelphia Eagles rookie wide receiver Jalen Reagor caught all of the passes thrown his way in Week 2, totaling 41 yards. It was a nice bump after Reagor only caught one pass last week. He'll get more and more involved in the offense as time goes by, especially since he missed a lot of practice […]

Zach Ertz Catches Five Balls In A Week 2 Loss

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz caught five passes in Week 2, gaining 42 yards. Ertz was targeted seven times in a game where the Eagles offense struggled in many different aspects.

DeSean Jackson Catches Six Passes In Week 2

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson caught six of his nine targets in Week 2, gaining 64 scoreless yards. The Eagles offense as a whole was a mess in this one, but Jackson was at least able to come down with the most catches and the most receiving yards on the team. A matchup with […]

Boston Scott Gets Seven Touches In Week 2

Philadelphia Eagles running back Boston Scott only touched the ball seven times in a Week 2 loss to the Los Angeles Rams. With Miles Sanders (hamstring) back on the field and leading the Eagles offense, Scott settled back into his backup role. He ran the ball four times for 19 yards, adding three catches for […]

Miles Sanders Totals 131 Yards In Week 2

Philadelphia Eagles running back Miles Sanders (hamstring) looked healthy in his return to the lineup in Week 2. He ran the ball 20 times for 95 yards and a touchdown, adding three catches for 36 more yards. Sanders missed Week 1 and was questionable for this one, but he looked good and was easily the […]

Carson Wentz Struggles In A Week 2 Blowout

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz struggled in a 37-19 loss to the Los Angeles Rams in Week 2. Wentz completed 26 of his 43 pass attempts for 242 scoreless yards and two interceptions.

Sixto Sanchez Struggles For The First Time In His Career

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Sixto Sanchez struggled for the first time in his big league career in Game 1 of Friday's doubleheader. He lasted just four innings, allowing five runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out two. For the first time since being called up, Sanchez looked human. There's no cause for […]

Amari Cooper Expected To Play In Week 2

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Amari Cooper (ankle) is not expected to miss any time in Week 2. Cooper was a late addition to the injury report this week, which is always concerning, but it seems he is fine and fully expected to play. Cooper is a high-upside WR1 as long as he suits up, as […]

Closers and Saves Report - Week 9 Waiver Wire

It feels like the season just started. Remember drafting your team? Remember how excited you were about your roster? Well, I hope you're still excited, because it's time for playoffs (in most leagues). This has been a weird season and 40-something games was not nearly enough to determine what fantasy managers deserved an appearance in […]

Adam Wainwright Tosses A Complete Game On Wednesday

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Adam Wainwright tossed a (seven inning) complete game in Game 1 of Wednesday's double header against the Milwaukee Brewers. Wainwright allowed just two runs on four hits and one walk, striking out nine. The win improved his record to 5-1 and lowered his ERA to 2.87. Wainwright was looked at […]
