Cowboys Defense Looks Good for Week 9 Lineups

The Dallas Cowboys Defense looks like a strong option for Week 9 fantasy lineups. Taking on the New York Giants on Monday Night Football and coming out of their bye week, the Cowboys defense could be one of the best units of the week. They were excellent in their last game against the Eagles two […]

Eagles Defense Looks to Build on a Strong Performance

The Philadelphia Eagles Defense had one of their best performances of the season in Week 8 against the Buffalo Bills and will look to build on that in Week 9 against the Chicago Bears. The Bears were able to get some offense going on the ground last week, but the Eagles front seven pose a […]

Brett Maher a Solid Kicking Option in Week 9

Dallas Cowboys kicker Brett Maher is a solid kicking option for Week 9 fantasy lineups. Maher has shown tons of leg strength this season and is an even better option in leagues with distance bonuses on field goals. The Cowboys shouldn't have much issue moving the ball against the New York Giants Defense, so Maher […]

Jake Elliott OK as a Kicker for Week 9

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott is an OK option as a fantasy kicker for Week 9. Elliott was perfect on the season heading into Week 8, but he missed an extra point in the win against the Buffalo Bills. Elliott isn't getting the kind of volume you usually like to see for a kicker in […]

Jason Witten Not a Great Starter in Week 9

Dallas Cowboys tight end Jason Witten is not a great fantasy starting option in Week 9. The Cowboys face off against the New York Giants on Monday Night Football, and despite having a bad defensive unit overall, the one thing the Giants do decently is defend opposing tight ends. Witten is ranked in the bottom […]

Dallas Goedert Looks to Continue His Ascension in Week 9

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert will look to continue his ascension into the TE1 ranks in Week 9. The Eagles take on the Chicago Bears who, despite a very strong pass defense, can be exploited by opposing tight ends. Since Week 6, Goedert has seen just one less target than "starter" Zach Ertz, but […]

Zach Ertz Hopes for a Boost in Week 9

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz is having a very disappointing season and seems somewhat at risk of falling behind Dallas Goedert in Philly. Ertz has seen 17 targets and put up 19.2 PPR points since Week 6, while Goedert has seen 16 targets and compiled 37.9 points. For the season, Ertz has a mediocre […]

Randall Cobb Not a High-Upside Play in Week 9

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Randall Cobb is a low-upside option in Week 9. Despite a great matchup on Monday Night Football against a soft New York Giants Defense, Cobb is no better than a dart-throw filler option at the position. Ezekiel Elliott, Amari Cooper, and Michael Gallup are expected to take control of this game, […]

Michael Gallup Set for a Solid Week 9

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Michael Gallup is set for a solid Week 9 performance. The Cowboys will hit the road for a Monday Night Football contest against the New York Giants and their very forgiving defense. Gallup and Amari Cooper should have no problems getting open and moving the ball downfield. Gallup is a solid […]

Amari Cooper Could Be the Top Receiving Option in Week 9

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Amari Cooper is one of the top receiving options in Week 9 and has a legitimate chance to be the WR1 overall. Cooper and the Cowboys face off against the New York Giants on Monday Night Football. The Cowboys offense should have no problem picking up yards and points against a […]

J.J. Arcega-Whiteside Not a Fantasy Consideration

Philadelphia Eagles rookie wide receiver J.J. Arcega-Whiteside is not a fantasy consideration for Week 9. The Eagles face a tough challenge against a strong Bears Defense, and Arcega-Whiteside hasn't even seen a ball thrown his way since Week 3. Anyone holding onto him in redraft formats should have let go a long time ago and […]

Mack Hollins Not Fantasy Relevant in Week 9

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Mack Hollins is not a fantasy relevant player in Week 9. With the Eagles firmly establishing a run game and heading into a matchup against a tough Chicago Bears Defense, Hollins shouldn't be anywhere near fantasy lineups. Despite starting in three-wide sets since Week 3 in place of the injured DeSean […]

Nelson Agholor Not an Option for Week 9 Lineups

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Nelson Agholor is not a starting option for most formats in Week 9. The Eagles take on the Chicago Bears and their tough defense, and Agholor has a hard time even when he's wide open. He somehow caught four passes and only gained seven total yards in Week 8. With the […]

DeSean Jackson Could Be Back in Week 9

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson (abdomen) could return in Week 9 and see the field for the first time since Week 2. Jackson is expected to practice this week, although his injury is one that is expected to linger for the rest of the season. With the Eagles bye week coming up in Week […]

Alshon Jeffery Just an OK Option for Week 9

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Alshon Jeffery is a decent, unexciting option for Week 9 fantasy lineups. Jeffery and the Eagles take on the Chicago Bears and their tough defense. The Eagles were able to establish a strong running game in Week 8, leading to quarterback Carson Wentz completing just 17 passes. It's likely that they […]

Tony Pollard Not a Starting Option in Week 9

Dallas Cowboys rookie running back Tony Pollard won't be a starting fantasy option in Week 9. Despite a great matchup against the New York Giants on Monday night, Pollard will be in his customary back seat, watching starter Ezekiel Elliott likely run circles around the Giants Defense. Pollard remains a handcuff with league-winning upside, but […]

Ezekiel Elliott Should Run for Days in Week 9

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott should have no problem putting up fantasy points in bunches in Week 9. The Cowboys will travel to New Jersey to play on Monday Night Football against the division-rival New York Giants and their very generous defense. Elliott is a top-five option at his position this week with the […]

Boston Scott Not a Safe Week 9 Option

Philadelphia Eagles running back Boston Scott is not a Week 9 fantasy option. Scott made some impressive moves in Week 8 against the Buffalo Bills, but he was on the field mostly because of the injury to Miles Sanders (shoulder). Scott may have earned a few more snaps with his play last week, but he'll […]

Darren Sproles Back to Practice; Could Play in Week 9

Philadelphia Eagles running back Darren Sproles (quad) is expected to return to practice this week and has a chance to suit up for a Week 9 game against the Chicago Bears. Sproles hasn't played or practiced since getting hurt in Week 5, and he's far from a sure thing in Week 9. Since the Eagles […]

Miles Sanders Looks to Build on a Big Game in Week 9

Philadelphia Eagles rookie running back Miles Sanders (shoulder) is expected to play in Week 9 against the Chicago Bears and will look to build on his impressive Week 8 performance against the Buffalo Bills. Sanders only had six touches in Week 8 before leaving with a shoulder injury, but he did a lot on those […]

Jordan Howard Could Be a Solid Play in Week 9

Philadelphia Eagles running back Jordan Howard could be a solid option in Week 9 despite a seemingly tough matchup against a strong Chicago Bears Defense. The Eagles were able to establish a strong running game against the Bills in Week 8, leading Howard to a season-high 96 yards on the ground. More of the same […]

Dak Prescott a Top Option for Week 9

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott is one of the top-five options at the position in Week 9. The Cowboys will hit the road for a Monday Night Football matchup against the New York Giants and their very generous defense. Prescott is being ranked somewhere from QB3-6 for this one, and should have a strong floor […]

Carson Wentz Slips Out of the QB1 Ranks for Week 9

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz has fallen out of the fantasy QB1 ranks for Week 9. The Eagles will host the Chicago Bears and their fearsome pass defense. With the Eagles really getting the running game going in Week 8, Wentz only completed 17 passes for 172 yards. A similar performance might be in store […]

Falcons Release Matt Bryant, Sign Younghoe Koo

The Atlanta Falcons have released kicker Matt Bryant. Bryant had been with the Falcons since 2009, but he made just nine of his 14 field goals this season, also missing one of his 15 extra point attempts. In a corresponding move, the team signed kicker Younghoe Koo, last seen in a real NFL game as […]

Jets Looking to Trade Le'Veon Bell on Tuesday

The New York Jets are reportedly trying to trade starting running back Le'Veon Bell before Tuesday's trade deadline. Bell has only been on the Jets for a half season at this point and is signed to a $52.5 million deal for the next three and a half seasons. A trade would leave $13.19 million worth […]

Eagles Defense Plays Well in Week 8

The Philadelphia Eagles Defense played well in a Week 8 win over the Buffalo Bills. The Eagles allowed just 13 points, and while they did not record an interception, they did get four sacks on quarterback Josh Allen. The Eagles defense has shown some glimpses of being a solid unit, but they remain a risky […]

Mack Hollins Not Even Targeted in Week 8

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Mack Hollins was not even targeted in Week 8's 31-13 win over the Buffalo Bills. Quarterback Carson Wentz completed just 17 passes total, but Hollins was not at all involved. He's been invisible in the Eagles offense despite the absence of DeSean Jackson (abdomen). Hollins isn't worth owning in fantasy outside […]

Jake Elliott Kicks a Field Goal and Two Extra Points

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott kicked a 37-yard field goal and two of his three extra points in Week 8. Elliott was perfect in Weeks 1 through 7, but he missed an extra point in Sunday's 31-13 win. Elliott remains a solid kicking option in all formats, although his overall upside is somewhat limited by […]

Zach Ertz Catches Only Two Passes in Week 8

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz only caught two passes in Week 8, gaining 20 yards. Ertz was only targeted four times, falling one behind his "backup" Dallas Goedert. It's been a very disappointing season for Ertz so far, as he's now made just eight catches in his past three games combined. He still has […]

Nelson Agholor Doesn't Do a Lot in Week 8

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Nelson Agholor was nearly useless in Week 8, catching four passes and somehow gaining only seven yards. He added two carries for seven more yards. Agholor was third on the team in targets but couldn't do anything with the ball in his hands, although him catching all of his targets was […]
