Braves Sign Will Smith

The Atlanta Braves have signed left-handed relief pitcher Will Smith, formerly of the San Francisco Giants, to a three-year contract worth $39 million. The deal includes a club option for 2023 worth $13 million. Smith recorded 34 saves for the Giants last season along with a 2.76 ERA and 96:21 strikeout-to-walk ratio in 65 1/3 […]

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 […]

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

Dallas Cowboys tight end Jason Witten is not a strong starting option in Week 11. Even with quarterback Dak Prescott throwing 46 passes last week against the Vikings, Witten ended up with just two catches for 17 yards. He was targeted five times, so he could have done more, but his role is still a […]

Randall Cobb Trending Up Heading Into Week 11

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Randall Cobb has been trending up lately and could have another solid performance in Week 11 against the Detroit Lions. Facing a much stronger Vikings Defense last week, Cobb caught six passes for 106 yards and a touchdown and has now caught six passes in two straight games. He'll continue to […]

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 […]

Austin Hooper to Miss About a Month

Atlanta Falcons tight end Austin Hooper is expected to miss about a month with a sprained MCL. Hooper was leading the NFL in catches by a tight end, catching 56 passes for 608 yards and six scores. The four week timetable brings him back in Week 15 assuming everything goes well, meaning Hooper can likely […]

Ezekiel Elliott Should Bounce Back in Week 11

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott should have a strong bounce back week in Week 11 against the Detroit Lions. Elliott was shut down by the Minnesota Vikings in Week 10, running for just 47 yards on 20 carries. The Lions Defense does not offer that kind of performance, so Elliott and the Cowboys offense […]

Dak Prescott a Great Choice in Week 11 Lineups

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott is a great starting option in Week 11 fantasy lineups. Prescott is coming off a strong 397-yard performance last week and gets a Detroit Lions Defense that has been very generous to opposing quarterbacks. Prescott has emerged quite a bit this season and proved it last week when he led […]

Eagles Defense Not a Good Week 11 Fantasy Option

The Philadelphia Eagles Defense is not a recommended defensive unit for fantasy lineups in Week 11. Despite some better performances both on the field and in fantasy lately, the Eagles defense will face one of its toughest tests this week as the New England Patriots come to town coming off a bye week. The Eagles […]

Jake Elliott a Lower-End Kicking Choice for Week 11

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott is a lower-end kicking option in Week 11. With the Eagles hosting the New England Patriots and not expected to be able to do much offensively, Elliott may not get too many chances to kick the ball this week. While occasionally good defenses lead to strong fantasy kicking performances because […]

Dallas Goedert Could Be a Sneaky Value Pick in Week 11

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert could have some sneaky DFS value in Week 11. Taking on the New England Patriots and their league-shaking defense, the Eagles as a team are expected to struggle to score and move the ball. If Alshon Jeffery (ankle) is forced to miss the game, however, Goedert could become the […]

Zach Ertz an Okay Option in Week 11

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz is just an okay option in Week 11. With the New England Patriots bringing their elite defense into the Eagles home on Sunday, the entire Eagles offense is expected to struggle. While the Eagles could have a hard time moving the ball against the New England defense, Ertz should […]

Mack Hollins Not Worth Considering for Week 11

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Mack Hollins is not worth even thinking about as a starter in Week 11 fantasy lineups. Despite starting in three-wide sets for a while now and now set to do so for the rest of the season with DeSean Jackson (IR) done for the year, Hollins has not caught a football […]

Nelson Agholor Not Much of an Option in Week 11

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Nelson Agholor is not a strong option in starting lineups for Week 11. The Eagles will host the New England Patriots on Sunday and could have a hard time getting much going on offense. With DeSean Jackson (abdomen, IR) out for the season and Alshon Jeffery (ankle) no sure thing to […]

Alshon Jeffery Not a Strong Option Even if Healthy

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Alshon Jeffery (ankle) is considered day-to-day according to coach Doug Pederson. Even if Jeffery is able to practice fully and deemed completely healthy, he won't be a strong option in Week 11. The New England Patriots bring their excellent defense into Philly on Sunday and could cause the Eagles offense plenty […]

Darren Sproles Not an Option in Starting Lineups for Week 11

Philadelphia Eagles running back Darren Sproles is not a fantasy option for a Week 11 game against the New England Patriots. The Patriots bring their top defense to Philadelphia on Sunday and could give the Eagles offense fits. Sproles is healthy now, but his role remains mostly on special teams. He's not a starting option […]

Miles Sanders Not a Great Option in Week 11

Philadelphia Eagles rookie running back Miles Sanders makes for an unexciting, low-upside choice in Week 11. The Eagles will host the New England Patriots and their elite defensive unit. The Eagles offense as a whole could struggle to do much in this one, and while Sanders' role could be enlarged in a game that the […]

Jordan Howard Has a Tough Matchup in Week 11

Philadelphia Eagles running back Jordan Howard is facing a tough matchup in Week 11. The Eagles will host the New England Patriots and their elite defense. In a game where the Eagles offense could struggle to move the ball, Howard's role gives him a concerning floor and not much of a ceiling. He is on […]

Carson Wentz Could Have a Tough Week 11

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz could have a tough time in a Week 11 matchup with the New England Patriots. Besides the elite New England defense, Wentz could be working with the always-overmatched Nelson Agholor as his WR1. With DeSean Jackson (abdomen) out for the season and Alshon Jeffery (ankle) considered day-to-day, the Eagles offense […]

Adam Wainwright Back in St. Louis for the 2020 Season

The St. Louis Cardinals re-signed starting pitcher Adam Wainwright to a one-year contract. Financial terms have not yet been revealed, but this move was mostly a formality, as Cardinals President of Baseball Operations John Mozeliak told reporters a while ago that Wainwright would be sticking with the only major league team he's even played for. […]

Cowboys Defense Struggles Against the Vikings in Week 10

The Dallas Cowboys Defense wasn't great in a Week 10 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. They allowed 28 points and did not record an interception or a fumble recovery. They only sacked opposing quarterback Kyle Cousins once. The Cowboys defense will be a highly recommended unit next week against the Detroit Lions if quarterback Matthew […]

Brett Maher Makes Three Extra Points and a Field Goal

Dallas Cowboys kicker Brett Maher kicked three extra points and made one of his two field goal attempts. He made every extra point he was asked, but missed a 57-yard field goal attempt in the first quarter. He made a 23-yarder later in the game. Maher remains one of the better and more consistent scoring […]

Jason Witten Doesn't Do a Lot in Week 10

Dallas Cowboys tight end Jason Witten caught just two passes in a Week 10 loss to the Minnesota Vikings, gaining 17 yards. Witten was targeted five times but made one catch less than his backup Blake Jarwin, who was able to gain 35 yards on three catches. Witten is still the only Cowboys tight end […]

Blake Jarwin Makes Three Grabs in Week 10

Dallas Cowboys tight end Blake Jarwin caught three passes in Week 10, gaining 35 yards in a loss to the Minnesota Vikings. Jarwin caught one more pass than starter Jason Witten on one less target. Jarwin will have some games where he is slightly more involved, but he'll also have some outings where he's barely […]

Michael Gallup Scores and Catches Four Passes in Week 10

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Michael Gallup caught four passes in Week 10, gaining 76 yards and scoring a touchdown. Gallup's touchdown came on a 23-yard pass from quarterback Dak Prescott in the second quarter to open up the scoring for the Cowboys. Gallup was targeted 10 times, the second most on the team. A pretty […]
