Devin Smith a Risky High-Ceiling Play in Week 4
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Devin Smith is a low-floor, high-ceiling play in Week 4. The Cowboys travel to New Orleans to take on the Saints in what should be a close game. With Michael Gallup (knee) out again, Smith should serve as the deep threat/seam stretcher and could come down with another long touchdown. Playing […]

Randall Cobb Not a Reliable Option for Week 4
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Randall Cobb is not a reliable fantasy option in a Week 4 matchup against the New Orleans Saints. Cobb could have made some noise in Week 3 but he had a 74-yard score called back after a penalty. Still, he ended up with just two catches on four total targets even […]

Amari Cooper Should Have Another WR1 Week
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Amari Cooper is looking like a WR1 again for Week 4. The Cowboys will travel to New Orleans to take on the Saints on Sunday Night Football, and Cooper should once again be the focal point of the passing game. With Michael Gallup (knee) set to miss another game, Cooper should […]

Tony Pollard Likely to Make Less Noise in Week 4
Dallas Cowboys rookie running back Tony Pollard will likely step back into his limited role as Ezekiel Elliott's backup in Week 4. Pollard scored a touchdown and ran for over 100 yards in Week 3, but that was mostly in garbage time against a useless Miami Dolphins team. With Week 4 taking the Cowboys to […]

Ezekiel Elliott One of the Top Week 4 Running Backs
Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott is one of the top options at the position in Week 4. Traveling to New Orleans to take on the Saints on Sunday Night Football, "Zeke" should be fully unleashed for the first time this season. He simply wasn't needed at the end of a laugher against the Miami […]

Dak Prescott a Strong QB1 for Week 4
Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott is a strong QB1 choice for a Week 4 Sunday Night Football matchup against the New Orleans Saints. Prescott has thrived in new offensive coordinator Kellen Moore's offensive scheme and should continue to play well indoors on Sunday evening. He's in the top half of QB1 rankings on most lists […]

Eagles Defense Just a Middling Option in Week 4
The Philadelphia Eagles Defense is not an exciting unit for Week 4. Taking on the Green Bay Packers on Thursday Night Football, the Eagles defense is likely to turn in a "good enough" performance, but most fantasy leagues will have higher upside options on the waiver wire. The Eagles defense came into the season expected […]

Jake Elliott a Solid Kicking Option in Week 4
Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott is a solid kicking option in Week 4. With the Eagles taking on the strong defense of the Green Bay Packers on Thursday Night Football, Elliott could be needed for field goal attempts if offensive drives stall out. He's made all of his field goal tries so far this season […]

Dallas Goedert Just a Desperation Play in Week 4
Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert is expected to play in Week 4, but won't be more than a desperation option in most standard formats. Even in two-TE leagues, Goedert is a risky play. Taking on a Green Bay Packers Defense that defends well against opposing tight ends, Goedert will take his customary backseat to […]

Zach Ertz A Top Tight End In Week 4
Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz is an easy TE1 option in Week 4, as always. Ertz was double-covered for most of Week 3 and was still able to catch four passes for 64 yards. With Alshon Jeffery (calf) back in the lineup and likely to draw at least some attention away from Ertz, Ertz […]

J.J. Arcega-Whiteside Could Be Headed Back To Bench
Philadelphia Eagles rookie wide receiver J.J. Arcega-Whiteside was expected to play a significant role in Week 3, but he ended up catching just one pass for 10 yards. With starters DeSean Jackson (groin) and Alshon Jeffery (calf) both out in Week 3, Arcega-Whiteside was on the field for plenty of offensive plays, but he was […]

Mack Hollins Should Still Have a Role in Week 4
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Mack Hollins should still have an offensive role in Week 4. Facing off against the Green Bay Packers on Thursday Night Football, Hollins will benefit from DeSean Jackson (abdomen) missing another week. With Alshon Jeffery (calf) expected to return to the lineup, Hollins won't have quite as big a role as […]

Nelson Agholor Should Still Have an Expanded Role in Week 4
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Nelson Agholor should maintain an expanded role in Week 4. With both Alshon Jeffery and DeSean Jackson out in Week 3, Agholor took on the role of Carson Wentz's number one wide receiver and gave the Eagles an all expenses paid trip on "Nelson Agholor's Wild Ride". He scored a touchdown […]

Alshon Jeffery Should Be a Decent Week 4 Option
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Alshon Jeffery (calf) is expected to play on Thursday Night Football in Week 4 and should be a solid option in fantasy lineups. Jeffery missed the second half in Week 2 and was inactive in Week 3, but he was able to practice in full on Tuesday and Wednesday and should […]

Corey Clement Completely Off the Fantasy Radar in Week 4
Philadelphia Eagles running back Corey Clement is completely off the fantasy radar for Week 4. Clement was inactive in Week 3 due to a shoulder injury, but even when healthy he's been relegated almost exclusively to special teams. Clement has yet to record an offensive statistic and is unlikely to see much playing time unless […]

Darren Sproles Not Worth a Start in Week 4
Philadelphia Eagles running back Darren Sproles has been mostly phased out of the offense and is not a starting option in Week 4 fantasy matchups. Sproles had 11 touches in Week 1 and looked like a legitimate fantasy running back, but has totaled just five touches since then. He maintains his key role on special […]

Jordan Howard A Touchdown-Dependent Week 4 Option
Philadelphia Eagles running back Jordan Howard will likely need to score a touchdown in order to make himself a fantasy-relevant option on Thursday Night Football in Week 4. Howard has been playing behind rookie Miles Sanders and has just 99 yards total in the first three games of the season. He did score a touchdown […]

Miles Sanders Looks to Hang Onto the Ball in Week 4
Philadelphia Eagles rookie running back Miles Sanders will try to keep the ball off the ground in Week 4. Sanders fumbled twice in Week 3 and had seriously concerning fumbling issues in college. Still, he was able to pick up 53 yards on 13 carries and 73 yards on two catches against the Lions. He […]

Carson Wentz An OK Option For Week 4
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz is just an OK option as a fantasy starter in Week 4. Wentz was blamed for several things that were not realistically his fault in Week 3, but those same things -- like blatant drops and careless fumbles from his skill players -- could resurface in Week 4 against the […]

Jack Flaherty Masterful Over Seven Innings on Tuesday
St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Jack Flaherty was masterful on Tuesday night. He took a no-hitter into the seventh inning before ultimately settling for allowing just one hit in seven innings. He walked two and struck out 11. Flaherty has been one of the best pitchers in the universe since the All-Star Game, bringing his […]

Oscar Mercado Hits a Homer on Tuesday
Cleveland Indians rookie outfielder Oscar Mercado hit a home run on Tuesday, ending up 1-for-5 with a run scored and three RBI. Mercado's home run came with two on in the fifth inning of Tuesday's 11-0 win. He's put together an excellent rookie season, blasting 15 home runs and slashing .280/.329/.460.

Mike Clevinger Throws Seven Excellent Innings on Tuesday
Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Mike Clevinger pitched seven shutout innings on Tuesday, allowing just five hits and one walk. Clevinger struck out 10 and threw 92 pitches on the night. Cleveland coasted to an 11-0 win, but Clevinger was in control the whole time. He's 13-3 with a 2.39 ERA and should be among the […]

Adam Wainwright Gives Up Five Runs in Five Innings
St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Adam Wainwright wasn't at his best on Monday night. He allowed five runs on eight hits and two walks in five innings, striking out six. Wainwright tossed an even 100 pitches, 67 for strikes. With the Cardinals having clinched a playoff spot, Wainwright may get one more tune up start […]

Eagles Defense Struggles in Week 3
The Philadelphia Eagles Defense struggled in a Week 3 loss to the Detroit Lions. The Eagles lost 27-24, and the defense did not force a fumble nor collect a sack. It was a rough day overall for the Eagles, who suffered from key drops on offense and blown coverages on defense. A defensive unit that […]

Jake Elliott Makes a Field Goal and Three Extra Points in Week 3
Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott made all of his kicks in Week 3, putting up a 25-yard field goal and three extra points. Elliott didn't get as many chances as expected to kick field goals, but he was still accurate as ever. He should keep being a solid fantasy kicker on a good offensive team.

J.J. Arcega-Whiteside Catches Just One Pass in Week 3
Philadelphia Eagles rookie wide receiver J.J. Arcega-Whiteside caught just one pass in Week 3, gaining 10 yards. The rookie was expected to take on a bigger role in Week 3 since DeSean Jackson (groin) and Alshon Jeffery (calf) were both out, but instead it was Nelson Agholor and Mack Hollins taking on the brunt of […]

Nelson Agholor Scores Two Touchdowns in Week 3
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Nelson Agholor scored two touchdowns in Week 3, catching eight passes for 50 yards. Agholor's touchdowns came on a 20-yard pass in the third quarter and a two-yard pass late in the fourth. It was a full Agholor game, as he also dropped some key passes on critical plays. Agholor's expanded […]

Mack Hollins Catches Four Passes in Week 3
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Mack Hollins caught four passes in a Week 3 loss, gaining 62 yards. Hollins played a bigger role in this one with DeSean Jackson (groin) and Alshon Jeffery (calf) out. Rookie J.J. Arcega-Whiteside was expected to play a larger role than Hollins, but it was Hollins that made more noise on […]

Zach Ertz Catches Four Passes in Week 3
Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz caught four passes in Week 3, gaining 64 yards. Ertz was expected to be a target monster with Alshon Jeffery (calf) and DeSean Jackson (groin) out, but the Eagles ran most of their offense through Nelson Agholor and the running game. Ertz disappointed a bit this week, but should […]

Cowboys Defense Does Well As Expected Against The Dolphins
The Dallas Cowboys Defense did about as well as expected against an always-scuffling Miami Dolphins team in Week 3. They allowed just six points on two field goals, adding three fumbles (one lost) and three sacks. They were unable to come up with any interceptions, but it was still a strong performance as expected. The […]
