He should […]

Mack Hollins Targeted Just Once in Week 11
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Mack Hollins was targeted just once in Week 11, but was unable to come down with a catch. Despite all the injuries to Eagles wide receivers, Hollins has not made a catch since Week 4. He can be safely dropped in all formats, as it seems Jordan Matthews has passed him […]

J.J. Arcega-Whiteside Makes His First Catch Since Week 3
Philadelphia Eagles rookie wide receiver J.J. Arcega-Whiteside made his first catch since Week 3 in a Week 11 loss to the New England Patriots.

Carson Wentz Predictably Struggles in Week 11

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. He looked good enough in a limited Friday practice and in pre-game warmups to keep himself off the inactive list. He remains a […]

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 […]

Brett Maher Makes Two Field Goals and Three Extra Points
Dallas Cowboys kicker Brett Maher made all of his kicks in Week 11, making two field goals and three extra points. He wasn't needed for any long kicks this time, making a long of just 34 yards, but he still showed the consistency that makes him one of the better kickers in fantasy football.

Blake Jarwin Catches Two Passes in Week 11
Dallas Cowboys tight end Blake Jarwin was targeted twice in Week 11, catching both passes for 38 yards.

Amari Cooper Clearly Limited in Week 11
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Amari Cooper (knee, ankle) was clearly not operating at 100% in Week 11. He ended up being on the field for just 56% of the team's offensive snaps, but the game plan still kept him somewhat involved, as he saw eight targets. He caught three of them, gaining 38 yards. Facing […]

Philadelphia Eagles running back Jordan Howard is dealing with a stinger and has not been cleared for contact yet.

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. It's mostly good news, and there was some concern Breida would have to miss a more significant amount of time. Tevin Coleman will operate as the […]

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. Maher gets a boost in value in fantasy leagues that offer bonus points for distance, as he and the Cowboys have shown that they are not afraid to send out the kicker for attempts […]
