David Montgomery Officially Active for Sunday Night Football
Chicago Bears running back David Montgomery (ankle) is officially active for Sunday Night Football. Montgomery missed practice most of the week with an ankle injury and was listed as a game-time decision.

Cowboys Defense Disappoints in Week 11
The Dallas Cowboys Defense was disappointing again in Week 11. They managed a win, 35-27 over the Detroit Lions, but with Matthew Stafford (back) out for the Lions, the Cowboys defense was one of the top predicted units of the week. Instead, they allowed 27 points and did not record an interception or a fumble […]

Amari Cooper Clearly Limited in Week 11
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Amari Cooper (knee, ankle) was clearly not operating at 100% in Week 11.

Facing […]

Matt Breida to Miss a Game or Two
San Francisco 49ers running back Matt Breida is expected to miss "a week or two" after aggravating a low-ankle sprain in the Week 10 loss to the Seattle Seahawks.

Cowboys Defense a Strong Week 11 Choice
The Dallas Cowboys Defense makes for a strong addition to a Week 11 fantasy lineup. The Cowboys defense has been a bit more hype than performance so far this season, but Week 11 lines up as a good one. Taking on the Detroit Lions, who could be without quarterback Matthew Stafford, the Cowboys defense shouldn't […]

Brett Maher a Good Choice Like Always in Week 11
Dallas Cowboys kicker Brett Maher is a strong fantasy choice like usual in a Week 11 matchup against the Detroit Lions.

Blake Jarwin Not a Starting Option in Week 11
Dallas Cowboys tight end Blake Jarwin does not make for a strong starting option in Week 11. Jarwin actually caught one more pass (three) than Jason Witten last week in a loss against the Vikings, but he was only able to turn that into 35 scoreless yards. The Detroit Lions don't do much in terms […]

Jason Witten Not a Great Week 11 Starter

Michael Gallup Set for a Strong Performance in Week 11
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Michael Gallup is set up for a strong game in Week 11 against the Detroit Lions. Gallup caught four passes for 76 yards and a touchdown last week, but he was targeted 10 times so he could have had a much bigger game. Facing a much softer defense this week, Gallup […]

Amari Cooper a Top Option Again in Week 11
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Amari Cooper makes for an excellent fantasy starter in Week 11. Cooper and the Cowboys take on the Detroit Lions and their giving defense one week after Cooper caught 11 passes for 147 yards and a score against a much stronger Vikings secondary. Cooper should have an excellent game with an […]

Tony Pollard Not a Starter in Week 11 Lineups
Dallas Cowboys rookie running back Tony Pollard remains one of the league's best handcuffs, but he is not a starting option despite that excellent upside. Pollard has received just four carries in the past two games and is firmly behind three-down back Ezekiel Elliott. The Detroit Lions Defense is generous to opposing running backs, but […]
