Starling Marte Fills The Box Score On Sunday

Miami Marlins center fielder Starling Marte had a great game on Sunday, going 2-for-5 with a home run, two RBI, a run scored, and a stolen base. Marte was a trade deadline addition for the Fish, and he's been very good since joining the team. He's hitting .306 with an .827 OPS, four home runs, […]

Trevor Rogers Strikes Out 10 On Sunday

Miami Marlins rookie starting pitcher Trevor Rogers was excellent on Sunday, tossing six innings while allowing just three runs on four hits and a walk. He struck out 10 and allowed three solo home runs, one of which would likely not have been a homer on a Little League field, but it was in Tropicana. […]

Brandon Kintzler Gets One Out To Earn A Save

Miami Marlins closer Brandon Kintzler got just one out on Saturday, but that's all it took for him to earn his ninth save of the season. The Marlins had a big lead, but reliever Brandon Leibrandt was struggling in the ninth inning, leading to manager Don Mattingly turning to Kintzler with two outs and two […]

Sandy Alcantara Pitches Well On Saturday

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Sandy Alcantara pitched well on Saturday, earning a win and a quality start. Alcantara got destroyed in his first start off the COVID-19 injured list his last time out, but he was much better this time, even against the same team. Alcantara got through six innings, allowing just one run on […]

Giovanny Gallegos Picks Up Another Save On Saturday

St. Louis Cardinals closer Giovanny Gallegos picked up a two-out save on Saturday, getting the last two outs of the game. He struck out one and left the base runner he inherited on base for a 4-2 win. Gallegos now has three saves and a 1.00 ERA. He's taking charge of the ninth (or seventh […]

Adam Wainwright Works Another Quality Start On Saturday

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Adam Wainwright pitched well again on Saturday, pitching 6 1/3 innings while allowing just two runs on six hits and one walk. He struck out six and improved to 4-0 on the season. Wainwright has been excellent this year after an inconsistent 2019 season. He has a 2.68 ERA and […]

Harold Ramirez Leaves Saturday's Game With An Injury

Miami Marlins outfielder Harold Ramirez was forced to leave Saturday's game due to a hamstring strain. Ramirez was playing in his first game back after an extended stay on the COVID-19 injured list. It's unclear how long Ramirez will be out this time around, but he looked to be in severe pain and needed to […]

Rico Dowdle Makes The Team

Dallas Cowboys undrafted rookie running back Rico Dowdle has made the team as the third running back. He won't have much of a role behind Ezekiel Elliott and Tony Pollard, but Dowdle could suddenly fall into fantasy relevance if either of the guys ahead of him gets hurt. Dowdle impressed enough in practice to have […]

Eagles Defense Looking OK For Week 1 Lineups

The Philadelphia Eagles Defense looks like a decent option in Week 1 fantasy lineups. They'll be taking on the Washington Football Team, whose offense isn't expected to be a powerhouse of any kind. The Eagles made some solid free agency additions on defense this offseason, but also lost a few pieces to free agency, more […]

Jake Elliott Coming Off The Most Accurate Season Of His Career

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott had the most accurate season of his career in 2019, converting 35 of his 37 extra-point attempts and 84.6% of his field-goal kicks. The issue was that he saw the fewest attempts of his career, limiting his overall numbers. Still, his accuracy was an impressive trait, and in a season […]

Dallas Goedert On Track For Week 1

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert is expected to be fully ready to go for Week 1 against the Washington Football Team despite suffering a hairline fracture in one of his thumbs earlier in practice. With the Eagles again dealing with a paper-thin wide receiver group, Goedert and fellow tight end Zach Ertz should be […]

Zach Ertz A Top Tight End Option Like Always

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz should be a high-upside, high-floor tight end option in all formats again this year, starting in Week 1. Ertz benefited from a decimated wide receiver group last season, but it looks like he might do the same this season already. With Dallas Goedert emerging as a legitimate tight end […]

John Hightower Could Move Up The Depth Chart By Week 1

Philadelphia Eagles rookie wide receiver John Hightower could move up the depth chart into a significant role thanks to injuries ahead of him. With rookie Jalen Reagor (shoulder) and veteran Alshon Jeffery (foot) expected to miss at least Week 1, there's a wide open space on the wide receiver depth chart in Philly behind DeSean […]

Greg Ward Could Have A Role In Week 1

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Greg Ward burst onto the scene last season after seemingly every other Eagles wide receiver got hurt. Ward was able to hold his own, though, and definitely developed a rapport with quarterback Carson Wentz. At one point in camp, he was leading the team in targets despite all of the other […]

J.J. Arcega-Whiteside To Have A Significant Week 1 Role

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver J.J. Arcega-Whiteside could have a pretty significant Week 1 role thanks to injuries to other Eagles wide receivers. Veteran Alshon Jeffery (foot) and rookie Jalen Reagor (shoulder) are both expected to miss Week 1, leaving a tumbleweed-filled desert behind DeSean Jackson in the wide receiver room. Arcega-Whiteside has reportedly "stood out" […]

Alshon Jeffery Could Be Ready To Go After Week 1

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Alshon Jeffery (foot) might miss Week 1, but is expected to be able to return to the lineup soon after that. Rookie Jalen Reagor (shoulder) out for the first month or so, Jeffery could have a more significant role than expected when he is able to return. Jeffery had Lisfranc surgery, […]

DeSean Jackson Ready For Deep Passes In Week 1

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson is "as fast as ever," according to team beat writers, and will be ready for go for Week 1 against the Washington Football Team's mediocre secondary. Jackson will bring a deep threat to an Eagles team that desperately needed one last season. As he's been for most of his […]

Boston Scott Looking At Backup Duties For Week 1

Philadelphia Eagles running back Boston Scott looks set to enter Week 1 as the backup for starter Miles Sanders. Sanders has been dealing with a hamstring injury though, so if he were to suffer any setbacks, Scott's Week 1 role would grow significantly. As it stands though, Sanders is fully expected to play, and Scott […]

Miles Sanders A Solid RB1 Choice For Week 1

Philadelphia Eagles running back Miles Sanders was dealing with a slight hamstring strain, but it does not seem to be putting his availability for Week 1 at any kind of risk. Sanders should easily lead the backfield in Philadelphia this year after Jordan Howard departed. Coach Doug Pederson always uses some kind of timeshare approach […]

Carson Wentz Should Be Good To Go For Week 1

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz has been off to the side in practice this week because of a soft-tissue injury. It doesn't seem to be causing any concern about his availability for Week 1, however. The Eagles will take on the Washington Football Team in Week 1, and that makes for a good matchup for […]

Cowboys Defense Not The Best Option In Week 1

The Dallas Cowboys Defense is not a strong Week 1 option. Facing off against the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday Night Football, the Cowboys defense is currently ranked somewhere around the 18-20 range for DSTs. The Cowboys are fairly solid up front, but they could have some real struggles in the secondary this season. Combined […]

Greg Zuerlein A Solid Kicker In A Solid Offense

Dallas Cowboys kicker Greg Zuerlein should be a solid kicking option all season and is ranked as a top-five kicker for Week 1 against his former team, the Los Angeles Rams. Zuerlein has had some accuracy issues popping up lately like they did earlier in his career, but the Cowboys offense provides tons of kicking […]

Blake Jarwin Should Be Effective As Long As He's On The Field

Dallas Cowboys tight end Blake Jarwin should make for a solid fantasy tight end given the Cowboys fast-paced, powerful offense. But, he'll need to be on the field to make an impact. Some Cowboys beat writers have voiced concern about Jarwin's blocking ability, which could keep him off the field somewhat more often than expected. […]

CeeDee Lamb Set Up As A Week 1 Starter

Dallas Cowboys rookie wide receiver CeeDee Lamb is set to start in Week 1 against the Los Angeles Rams. Lamb of course got no preseason games and is coming from the Big-12, where defenses essentially don't exist, so he could have a bit of a bigger learning curve than some are expecting. Still, with Mike […]

Michael Gallup Checks In As A WR3 For Week 1

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Michael Gallup makes for a solid WR3 option in Week 1 fantasy lineups. Like usual, Gallup carries nice upside and a formidable floor in a fast-paced Dallas offense. Coach Mike McCarthy says Gallup is, "a number one wide receiver in [his] view." Incoming rookie CeeDee Lamb could eat into some of […]

Amari Cooper Missing Practice Time Ahead Of Week 1

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Amari Cooper is missing practices or practicing with a limited designation leading up to Week 1. Cooper's limited practices are for "preventative measures" according to Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, but it's of course something to keep an eye on with Week 1 approaching. For now, Cooper is expected to be on […]

Ezekiel Elliott A Great Week 1 Option

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott is, as usual, a great option for Week 1 fantasy lineups. Elliott dealt with a positive COVID-19 test along with other drama earlier in the offseason, but he is reportedly fine now and ready to go as one of the few running backs left in the league that rarely […]

Dak Prescott Ranked As The Third-Best Week 1 Option

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott is being ranked as the third-best quarterback option for Week 1 lineups. He does have one of the widest ranges in predictions, though, as many writers have him at or near No. 3, but some have him ranked as low as 16. With a new weapon in rookie wide receiver […]

Closers and Saves Report - Week 7 Waiver Wire

In the wild 2020 season, it made sense that we had a somewhat wild 2020 trade deadline. The trade deadline is a legitimate baseball holiday, and without an All-Star Game this year, it became the most exciting day in the regular season. The Padres went wild and made all the headlines, acquiring basically a whole […]

Sixto Sanchez Takes A Tough Loss On Wednesday

Miami Marlins rookie starting pitcher Sixto Sanchez took a tough loss in Wednesday's game. He pitched seven innings, allowing just two runs on six hits. He struck out five and did not issue a walk. The rookie didn't have the elite swing-and-miss stuff in this one as he did in his last start, but he […]
