Miles Sanders Has an Unexciting Week 3 Matchup

Philadelphia Eagles rookie running back Miles Sanders was one of the few Eagles offensive starters to escape Week 2 without an injury, but he's still not a very exciting fantasy choice for Week 3. Taking on a decent Detroit Lions run defense, Sanders is currently ranked on the RB2/3 turn. He could make for a […]

Carson Wentz Will Likely Be Without His Best Receivers in Week 3

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz likely won't be quite as strong a fantasy option as usual against the Detroit Lions in Week 3. Wentz watched both of his top wide receivers, DeSean Jackson and Alshon Jeffery, leave the game in Week 2 with injuries. Both are officially questionable for Week 3, but most beat writers […]

Marcell Ozuna Drives in Four Runs on Monday

Carlos Martinez Picks Up His 20th Save on Monday

St. Louis Cardinals closer Carlos Martinez collected his 20th save of the season on Monday, getting the last out of the game by throwing just two pitches. Martinez has been solid in his first go around as a closer, posting the 20 saves and an even 3.00 ERA. He should be a solid contributor in […]

Eagles Defense Gets Three Interceptions in Week 2

The Philadelphia Eagles Defense had an up-and-down Week 2. They allowed 24 points to the Atlanta Falcons, but they also recorded three interceptions and a sack.

Jake Elliott Kicks Two Field Goals in Week 2

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott made both of his field goal attempts in Week 2. His kicks came from 34 and 41 yards out.

Philadelphia Eagles running back Darren Sproles got just two offensive touches in Week 2. He didn't record a carry, but caught two passes for five yards.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Mack Hollins showed up in Week 2 with five catches for 50 yards. Hollins was thrust into a bigger role after Alshon Jeffery and DeSean Jackson were both forced to leave the game in the first half. Hollins could have some WR3/FLEX appeal in Week 3 if the top two wide […]

Zach Ertz Catches Eight Passes in Week 2

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz caught eight passes in Week 2, gaining 72 yards. Ertz watched wide receivers DeSean Jackson and Alshon Jeffery leave the game in the first half due to injury, but Nelson Agholor ended up drawing most of Carson Wentz's targets in the second half. Still, Ertz's weekly TE1 outlook will […]

Nelson Agholor Makes the Most of His Increased Week 2 Role

Carson Wentz Totals Two Touchdowns in Week 2

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz found a way to make two touchdowns happen on Sunday night despite losing his two top receivers to injuries.

Cowboys Defense Disappoints in Week 2

The Dallas Cowboys Defense disappointed its fantasy owners again in Week 2, allowing 21 points to Washington. They did not record an interception nor force a fumble, and only sacked quarterback Case Keenum once. The Cowboys defense was expected to be one of the best plays of Week 2, but ended up as a middling […]

Brett Maher Makes Four Extra Points and a Field Goal

Dallas Cowboys kicker Brett Maher made all four of his extra-point attempts in Week 2, adding a 25-yard field goal as well. In a week where several kickers struggled, Maher was his usual consistent self. With the Cowboys offense clicking as it has been, Maher hasn't really been needed for field goals, but he should […]

Blake Jarwin Catches Just One Pass in Week 2

Dallas Cowboys tight end Blake Jarwin caught just one pass in Week 2, gaining 22 yards. Meanwhile, Jason Witten caught four passes and came down with a touchdown.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Randall Cobb caught five passes in Week 2, gaining 24 yards through the air. He added two rushing plays, picking up 11 yards on the ground.

Jason Witten Shows Up Again in Week 2

Dallas Cowboys tight end Jason Witten played a big role in Week 2, catching four passes for 25 yards and a touchdown. Witten's score came on a short two-yard pass from Dak Prescott in the second quarter. Witten came out of retirement to play in 2019 and has scored a touchdown in both weeks so […]

Tony Pollard Gets Just Five Touches in Week 2

Dallas Cowboys rookie running back Tony Pollard only touched the ball five times in Week 2. He ran the ball four times for 22 yards and caught a pass for three more yards.

Ezekiel Elliott Shines in Week 2

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott was excellent in Week 2, running the ball 23 times for 111 yards and a touchdown. He added two catches for nine more yards through the air.
