J.J. Arcega-Whiteside Suddenly a Starter in Week 3
Philadelphia Eagles rookie wide receiver J.J. Arcega-Whiteside is suddenly looking at a starting role in Week 3. A preseason hero, Arcega-Whiteside was far behind on the wide receiver depth chart until both Alshon Jeffery and DeSean Jackson got hurt in Week 2. Both were forced to leave the game and Arcega-Whiteside was on the field […]

Mack Hollins to See an Expanded Role in Week 3
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Mack Hollins will likely see an increased offensive role in a Week 3 contest against the Detroit Lions. With top wide receivers Alshon Jeffery and DeSean Jackson both expected to miss at least one game, Hollins will be needed on offense. He's been mostly working on special teams, but he saw […]

Nelson Agholor Thrust Into a Starting Role for Week 3
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Nelson Agholor will likely be thrust into an every-down role in Week 3. With top wide receivers DeSean Jackson (groin) and Alshon Jeffery (calf) unlikely to suit up, Agholor will be wide receiver atop the depth chart. He spent the second half in Week 2 in the role, and despite some […]

Corey Clement Not a Fantasy Option in Any Format
Philadelphia Eagles running back Corey Clement is not a fantasy option in any format for Week 3. Clement has settled into a special teams role and has seen almost no offensive snaps so far this season. An injury to another running back could potentially thrust Clement into a more significant offensive role, but for now […]

Darren Sproles Not Recommended in Week 3
Philadelphia Eagles running back Darren Sproles is not a recommended fantasy option in any format in Week 3. After a somewhat surprisingly productive Week 1, Sproles took an expected step back in Week 2 and recorded just two catches for five yards. He did not record a single carry in Week 2. Sproles is a […]

Jordan Howard Too Risky of a Fantasy Option in Week 3
Philadelphia Eagles running back Jordan Howard is not a recommended fantasy option in a Week 3 matchup against the Detroit Lions. Howard picked up just 18 yards on the ground in Week 2 and will only put up a decent fantasy score if he scores a touchdown. A running back that is so touchdown-dependent without […]

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 […]

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 […]

Dakota Hudson Throws Seven Strong Innings on Monday
St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Dakota Hudson threw seven great innings on Monday, allowing just two runs on five hits and two walks. Hudson was able to limit hard contact, but he didn't get too many swings-and-misses, racking up just one strikeout. Still, it was a solid performance from Hudson, who lowered his ERA to […]

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.

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.

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 […]
