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 […]

Dallas Goedert Scores in Week 8

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert scored a touchdown in Week 8. He ended up with three catches on five targets, gaining 22 yards. His touchdown came in the second quarter on a five-yard strike from Carson Wentz. It was his only passing touchdown of the game. Goedert saw more targets and gained more yards […]

Alshon Jeffery Catches Four Passes in Week 8

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Alshon Jeffery caught four passes in Week 8, gaining 64 yards. Jeffery was targeted six times in a game where the Eagles kept the ball on the ground most of the time. Quarterback Carson Wentz only completed 17 passes in the 31-13 victory. Jeffery was faded on most rankings this week […]

Boston Scott Scores a Touchdown in Week 8

Philadelphia Eagles running back Boston Scott scored the first touchdown of his NFL career in a Week 8 win over the Buffalo Bills. Scott ran the ball five times, gaining just six yards but running in a four yard score in the third quarter. Scott didn't do much with his other carries, but he looked […]

Miles Sanders Does a Lot on Just Six Touches in Week 8

Philadelphia Eagles rookie running back Miles Sanders only handled six touches in Week 8, but he made the most of each one. Sanders ran the ball three times, gaining 74 yards and scoring a touchdown. He added three catches on three targets, picking up an additional 44 yards through the air. Sanders took a third […]

Jordan Howard Puts Together Another Strong Game

Philadelphia Eagles running back Jordan Howard had another successful performance in Week 8, running the ball 23 times for 96 yards and a touchdown. He added one reception for 15 more yards. Howard's touchdown came on a three-yard run in the fourth quarter. Howard has blatantly established himself as the lead back for the Eagles, […]

Carson Wentz Plays a Supporting Role in Week 8

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz played a supporting role in Week 8 as the Eagles running game ran circles around the Buffalo Bills Defense. The Eagles won easily by a score of 31-13, but Wentz completed just 17 passes for 172 yards and a touchdown. He spent most of the afternoon handing the ball off […]

Matt Ryan Ruled Out for Week 8

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan (ankle) has been officially ruled out for Week 8 against the Seattle Seahawks. Ryan was able to get in some limited practices this week but will sit out at least one game to heal from his ankle injury. The ancient Matt Schaub will get the start for the Falcons, meaning […]

Drew Brees Expected to Start in Week 8

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees (thumb) is expected to start on Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals "barring an unforeseen setback". Teddy Bridgewater did an excellent job in place of Brees, but all Saints skill position players will get a nice uptick in value with Brees under center. The Saints have a bye week next […]

Cowboys Acquire Michael Bennett from New England

The Dallas Cowboys traded for defensive end Michael Bennett, formerly of the Patriots, sending a 2021 seventh-round pick to New England. There are escalators in the trade that could turn the pick into a sixth-round pick depending on Bennett's performance. It's could be a nice boost for the Cowboys Defense, although Bennett was struggling for […]

Adrian Peterson Expected to Play on Thursday Night Football

Washington Redskins running back Adrian Peterson (ankle) is expected to play tonight on Thursday Night Football despite an ankle injury. Peterson is a very risky play against a strong Minnesota defense in a game that could get out of hand quickly for Washington. Add to that the fact that Peterson could be limited due to […]

Eagles Defense Not a Great Option in Week 8

The Philadelphia Eagles Defense is not a strong fantasy option for a Week 8 road matchup against the Buffalo Bills. While the 5-1 Bills have mostly been winning games thanks to their defense, they have an offensive unit with the potential to put up big numbers at times. The Eagles are coming off a rough […]

Jake Elliott Limited By the Eagles Offense

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott has made every single kick so far this season, but his fantasy value has suffered due to an all-around struggling offense. Elliott has only attempted eight field goals and 17 extra points, and while he's made all of them, he currently ranks as just the 20th best kicker in standard […]

Dallas Goedert Unlikely to Do Much in Week 8

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert is not a good bet to put up big numbers in Week 8. The Eagles travel to Buffalo to take on the Bills and their tough defense. Goedert led the team in receiving in Week 7 and scored a touchdown, but that's unlikely to happen again this week. Goedert […]

Zach Ertz Facing Another Tough Matchup in Week 8

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz is looking at another tough matchup in Week 8. The Eagles will be in Buffalo to take on the Bills and their difficult defense. Ertz is coming off a disappointing two-catch, 38 yard performance in Week 7 and could put up a similar performance this week. With the Eagles […]

J.J. Arcega-Whiteside Should Be Nowhere Near Your Lineup

Philadelphia Eagles rookie wide receiver J.J. Arcega-Whiteside came into the season with plenty of hype, but he has not even seen a pass thrown his way since Week 3. Arcega-Whiteside remains an intriguing dynasty/keeper player, but doesn't belong on a redraft league roster and shouldn't be anywhere close to a starting lineup. Almost all waiver […]

Mack Hollins Off the Fantasy Radar in Week 8

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Mack Hollins is completely off the fantasy radar for Week 8. The Eagles will be in Buffalo to take on the Bills, and Hollins has not made a catch since Week 4 despite starting in three-wide sets in place of the injured DeSean Jackson (abdomen). He's droppable in all but the […]

Nelson Agholor Not a Good Idea in Week 8

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Nelson Agholor is not a good idea in fantasy starting lineups for Week 8. The Eagles will be on the road going up against the Buffalo Bills and their stingy defense. Agholor has made just seven catches since Week 3, and appeared to completely give up on a very catchable pass […]

Alshon Jeffery Tough to Trust in Week 8

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Alshon Jeffery will be in a rough spot in Week 8. The Eagles will be on the road in Buffalo to battle their tough defense. With DeSean Jackson (abdomen) possibly looking at another missed game, Jeffery will receive top wideout attention from the Bills secondary. He's coming off a two-catch, 38 […]

Miles Sanders Not an Inspiring Week 8 Option

Philadelphia Eagles rookie running back Miles Sanders is not a particularly eye-opening option in a Week 8 fantasy lineup. With the Eagles on the road taking on a tough Buffalo Bills Defense, Sanders and the whole Eagles offense could struggle on Sunday. Last week against the Cowboys, Sanders ran for just 21 yards and caught […]

Jordan Howard Will Be Touchdown-Dependent in Week 8

Philadelphia Eagles running back Jordan Howard might only play a fantasy relevant role in Week 8 if he is able to score a touchdown. Howard and the Eagles travel to Buffalo to take on a tough Bills Defense. While Howard has handled almost all early-down and goal line work lately, he has not put together […]

Carson Wentz Could Struggle in Week 8

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz could have a hard time in Week 8 on the road against the Buffalo Bills. The Eagles offense looked like a mess in Week 7 against the Cowboys, with Wentz throwing for just 191 yards on 16 completed passes. The Bills Defense poses another threat to Wentz and the whole […]

Brett Maher Has a Huge Week 7

Dallas Cowboys kicker Brett Maher had a big game in a Week 7 win. He knocked through all four of his extra points and made his three field goal attempts too. He knocked through a 63-yard boot and has proven to be one of the more consistent kicking options while also having a big enough […]

Cowboys Defense Shines in Week 7

The Dallas Cowboys Defense played well in a Week 7 win over the division rival Philadelphia Eagles. They allowed just 10 points, recovering three fumbles and securing one interception. They were also able to sack Carson Wentz three times. The Cowboys ended up winning a blowout in what was expected to be a much closer […]

Jason Witten Catches All Four Targets in Week 7

Dallas Cowboys tight end Jason Witten caught all four of his targets in Week 7, gaining 33 yards. Witten had yet another very typical Jason Witten game, making a handful of catches and picking up just a few yards with each one. He'll continue to be a low-floor, low-ceiling depth option when the Cowboys return […]

Blake Jarwin Makes His One Catch Count in Week 7

Dallas Cowboys tight end Blake Jarwin was targeted just once in Week 7, but he made it count, catching that one target for a one-yard touchdown. Jarwin continues to play behind starter Jason Witten and won't have any predictable fantasy value unless Witten is forced to miss time. Even then, he won't be a high-upside […]

Michael Gallup Ends Up With Just Three Catches in Week 7

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Michael Gallup only came up with three catches on his four targets in Week 7, gaining 34 scoreless yards. It was certainly a dud in a matchup where Gallup was occasionally being considered a WR1 option, but the Dallas offense simply didn't need him in a game where they had no […]

Amari Cooper Goes Over 100 Yards in Week 7

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Amari Cooper caught all five of his targets in Week 7, gaining 106 yards. Cooper wasn't even a sure thing to start in this one, but he came down with every ball thrown his way and went over 100 yards in a game the Dallas offense dominated. He should be even […]

Tavon Austin Scores a Touchdown in Week 7

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Tavon Austin missed his lone passing game target in Week 7, but he was given a single carry and took it in 20 yards for a touchdown. Austin has defense-burning speed, but little else to offer as a football player. That means some plays will set him loose on the field […]
