Jake Elliott Makes a Field Goal and Four Extra Points in Week 5

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott made every kick asked of him in Week 5. He connected on all four of his extra point attempts and also knocked a 28-yard field goal through the uprights. Elliott has been very consistent this season, but the Eagles just haven't had a ton of field goal tries so far. […]

J.J. Arcega-Whiteside Not Targeted in Week 5

Philadelphia Eagles rookie wide receiver J.J. Arcega-Whiteside was not targeted in an Eagles Week 5 win. Even with DeSean Jackson (abdomen) out, Arcega-Whiteside did not factor into the game whatsoever. Even Mack Hollins, who played ahead of Arcega-Whiteside, only saw one target. Arcega-Whiteside has good upside, but he's not close to being a starting option […]

Mack Hollins Makes No Catches in Week 5

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Mack Hollins did not come up with his only target in the passing game in Week 5. Hollins was forced into action in three-wide sets with DeSean Jackson (abdomen) missing another game. Alshon Jeffery and Zach Ertz took control of the few passes completed by Carson Wentz in this one, leaving […]

Nelson Agholor Catches a Pass and Fumbles in Week 5

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Nelson Agholor caught just one pass in Week 5, gaining 20 yards then fumbling the ball. Agholor was coming off a zero-catch game in Week 4 and didn't really do any better in Week 5. With DeSean Jackson (abdomen) expected back soon, Agholor could be sliding completely off the fantasy radar. […]

Alshon Jeffery Catches Six Passes in Week 5

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Alshon Jeffery led the Eagles with six catches in Week 5, gaining 52 yards. The Eagles didn't need to throw much, with quarterback Carson Wentz completing just 17 passes. Jeffery did well with the balls thrown to him, and he should have bigger games when the Eagles actually need to make […]

Dallas Goedert Catches Just One Pass in Week 5

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert caught just one pass in Week 5, gaining 11 yards. Goedert played way behind starter Zach Ertz, and while he has the talent to be a solid tight end in fantasy, he won't see nearly enough targets unless Ertz misses time. Goedert is a wait-and-see fantasy asset, but not […]

Zach Ertz Catches a Touchdown in Week 5

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz caught the only offensive touchdown for the Eagles in Week 5. He ended up with five catches for 57 yards on the day. His touchdown was an 11-yard strike from Carson Wentz in the second quarter. Ertz was solid in this one, but he hasn't seen the monster-share of […]

Darren Sproles Still Not a Factor in Week 5

Philadelphia Eagles running back Darren Sproles still didn't have a role on offense in Week 5. He got three carries, gaining just four yards total. He did not make a catch in the passing game. Sproles hasn't done anything of note on offense since Week 1, and can be dropped in most formats at this […]

Miles Sanders Does Nothing on the Ground in Week 5

Philadelphia Eagles rookie running back Miles Sanders wasn't able to get anything going on the ground in Week 5. He ran the ball nine times and gained just 15 yards. He was able to add four catches, gaining 49 yards that way. Sanders was useless in the running game, getting completely outplayed by Jordan Howard, […]

Jordan Howard Leads the Eagles Backfield Again in Week 5

Philadelphia Eagles running back Jordan Howard led the Eagles backfield again in Week 5 and seems to have taken over as the head of the running back committee. Howard ran the ball 13 times, gaining 62 yards and scoring a one-yard touchdown in the first quarter. Howard and rookie Miles Sanders actually tied with 13 […]

Carson Wentz Doesn't Do Much in Week 5

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz didn't have to do much in Week 5. With the defense absolutely dominating the New York Jets "offense" in this one, Wentz wasn't asked to do a lot. He ended up completing 17 of his 29 passes for 189 yards and one touchdown. His score was on an 11-yard pass […]

Jack Flaherty Takes the Loss on Friday

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Jack Flaherty pitched well on Friday but took the loss in Game 2 of the National League Division Series. Flaherty tossed seven innings, allowing three runs on eight hits and a walk. He struck out eight, throwing 117 pitches. The Cardinals were unable to score any runs on Friday, saddling […]

Eagles Defense a Streaming Option in Week 5

The Philadelphia Eagles Defense has mostly struggled this season, but should still be a decent streaming option in Week 5. Taking on an anemic New York Jets option at home, the Eagles shouldn't have too much trouble keeping points off the board. Even with Sam Darnold (mono) expected to return, the Jets offense is still […]

Jake Elliott Should Be Solid Again in Week 5

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott should be a solid fantasy kicking option in Week 5. With the Eagles as almost two-touchdown favorites at home against the New York Jets, Elliott should be called on to kick several times. The only real risk here is that the Eagles won't need Elliott's leg for field goals and […]

Dallas Goedert Only a Deep League Option in Week 5

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert is only an option in deep leagues and two-tight end formats in Week 5. Even though the New York Jets Defense struggles in the passing game, they actually cover opposing tight ends fairly well. Like usual, Zach Ertz will get most of the tight end targets, leaving Goedert as […]

Zach Ertz Should Be a Top-Tier Tight End in Week 5

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz should be a top-three tight end option in Week 5. The Eagles will host the New York Jets, and while the Jets Defense has been soft in the passing game, they've actually defended opposing tight ends quite well. Still, Ertz is not just any tight end and it looks […]

J.J. Arcega-Whiteside Could Get Some Playing Time in Week 5

Philadelphia Eagles rookie wide receiver J.J. Arcega-Whiteside has been disappointing so far, but could have one more week to get right and a good matchup in which to do it. The Eagles take on an easy New York Jets passing defense, and DeSean Jackson (abdomen) is looking like he'll miss one more game. Arcega-Whiteside hasn't […]

Mack Hollins Could Be Relevant for One More Week

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Mack Hollins could have fantasy relevance one more time in Week 5. With DeSean Jackson (abdomen) shaping up to miss another game, Hollins should get some run in three-wide sets against a barely-there New York Jets secondary. While Alshon Jeffery should be the star of the passing game, Hollins has only […]

Nelson Agholor Looks for a Better Game in Week 5

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Nelson Agholor will hope to improve on his disastrous Week 4 performance this week. Held without a catch in Week 4, Agholor will likely get another week without DeSean Jackson (abdomen) in the starting lineup. Facing off against a soft New York Jets secondary, Agholor could see a fair number of […]

Alshon Jeffery Has a Good Matchup in Week 5

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Alshon Jeffery has a good matchup against the New York Jets in Week 5. Jeffery scored a touchdown against a strong Green Bay Packers Defense in Week 4, and now he gets a much softer secondary to fight against in Week 5. In a game the Eagles are favored by almost […]

Darren Sproles Not a Fantasy Option for Week 5

Philadelphia Eagles running back Darren Sproles is not a fantasy option in a Week 5 game against the New York Jets. Sproles saw just one touch in Week 4, gaining four yards on the ground. He had a surprisingly large role on offense in Week 1, but has been mostly relegated to special teams since. […]

Miles Sanders Not Exciting as a Week 5 Option

Philadelphia Eagles rookie running back Miles Sanders is an unexciting RB3 option in Week 5, although he does carry some upside. Sanders ran for 72 scoreless yards in Week 4 while watching Jordan Howard score three touchdowns. More of the same could happen this week with the Eagles as big home favorites against the New […]

Jordan Howard Could Score Some More in Week 5

Philadelphia Eagles running back Jordan Howard is a decent fantasy running back option for Week 5. Howard just scored three touchdowns against the Green Bay Packers and while he may not find the end zone three times again against the New York Jets in Week 5, he should at least get a few chances to […]

Carson Wentz a Strong Option in Week 5

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz is a strong fantasy option in Week 5. The Eagles will take on the New York Jets at home and should have little trouble moving the ball against them. Wentz is coming off a three-touchdown performance against a strong Green Bay Packers Defense, and could have a similar or even […]

Cowboys Defense Just a Middling Option in Week 5

The Dallas Cowboys Defense is just an okay option in fantasy lineups in Week 5. With the Cowboys and Green Bay Packers battling on Sunday and Green Bay quarterback Aaron Rodgers coming off a 422-yard performance, it's hard to rank the Cowboys defense as high as they've been in previous weeks. They're not a unit […]

Brett Maher Could Have a Big Day in Week 5

Dallas Cowboys kicker Brett Maher could be a strong choice as a fantasy kicker in Week 5. Although Maher has been effective when called upon this season, it hasn't translated into a ton of success in fantasy lineups. The Cowboys host the Green Bay Packers this week though, and in what should be a close […]

Blake Jarwin Not a Startable Tight End in Week 5

Dallas Cowboys tight end Blake Jarwin is not much of a starting option in most formats in Week 5. With the Cowboys going up against a good Green Bay Packers Defense, Jarwin is unlikely to be heavily involved. He's coming off a three-catch game against the Saints and would do well to match that total […]

Jason Witten Shaping Up as a Safe Choice in Week 5

Dallas Cowboys tight end Jason Witten is looking like a safe, low-upside choice for Week 5. With the Cowboys expected to rely mostly on the running game and short passes against a strong Green Bay Packers pass defense, Witten could see a few more targets than usual. He'll likely do what he's done his whole […]

Devin Smith Not a Week 5 Fantasy Option

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Devin Smith is not a starting option in almost any format for Week 5. The Cowboys will be fighting against a strong Green Bay Packers pass defense, and Smith's game simply doesn't match well with the Packers defensive game plan. Smith has been serving as Dak Prescott's deep threat, but with […]

Randall Cobb Not Worth a Start in Week 5

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Randall Cobb is not worth a start in most fantasy formats for Week 5. With the Cowboys taking on a difficult Green Bay Packers Defense, this game will likely be played through running back Ezekiel Elliott. Cobb could be around to snag a few short passes and could even score an […]
