Jordan Howard Not a Safe Option in Week 2 Lineups

Philadelphia Eagles running back Jordan Howard is a low-floor option for Week 2. Howard saw the fewest touches in the Eagles backfield in Week 1, and wasn't consistently used for short yardage work either. Still, he did look decent and perhaps earned a few more touches going forward. Looking like a touchdown-dependent option, Howard won't […]

Miles Sanders Is An Unexciting Week 2 Fantasy Option

Philadelphia Eagles rookie running back Miles Sanders is an OK but mostly unexciting option for Week 2. Shaping up to be somewhere on the RB2/3 border, Sanders had plenty of chances in Week 1 but didn't do much with them. He was thoroughly outplayed by veteran Darren Sproles, and even Jordan Howard showed a bit […]

Carson Wentz a Top-Five Option in Week 2

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz is a top-five quarterback option in Week 2 against the Atlanta Falcons. The Falcons Defense poses no threat to Wentz, who made use of his new receiving weapon, DeSean Jackson, in Week 1. Wentz and Jackson connected for two long touchdowns and the duo are a threat to do that […]

Corey Clement Doesn't Log an Offensive Stat in Week 1

Philadelphia Eagles running back Corey Clement did not log an offensive stat in a Week 1 victory over Washington. Darren Sproles and Miles Sanders led the Eagles backfield, with Jordan Howard mixing in as well, but Clement did not get his hands on the ball at all. Clement was nursing a knee injury in the […]

Cowboys Defense Has OK Debut in Week 1

The Dallas Cowboys Defense was good enough in a Week 1 win over the New York Giants. The Cowboys allowed 17 points, recording an interception and a sack.

Brett Maher Kicks Five Extra Points in Week 1

Dallas Cowboys kicker Brett Maher made all five of his extra points in a Week 1 victory over the New York Giants. Maher didn't get a chance to kick a field goal, but was perfect in his extra point opportunities. A solid kicker in an ascendant offense, Maher makes for a strong option in all […]

Amari Cooper Catches a Touchdown and Gains Over 100 Yards

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Amari Cooper had a strong opening to the season in Week 1, catching six passes for 106 yards and a touchdown. Cooper's touchdown catch was a 21-yard pass from Dak Prescott. Cooper and Michael Gallup handled things in the Cowboys passing game and should be a solid duo going forward. The […]

Michael Gallup Has a Huge Game in a Week 1 Victory

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Michael Gallup was excellent in a Week 1 win over the New York Giants. Gallup led the Cowboys in both receptions and yards, with seven catches for 158 yards. He wasn't able to come down with a touchdown, but it was still an excellent performance regardless. Amari Cooper played well too, […]

Tony Pollard Gets 13 Carries in His NFL Debut

Dallas Cowboys rookie running back Tony Pollard received 13 carries in his first NFL game in Week 1. He wasn't able to find much room though, averaging just 1.8 yards per carry and totaling 24 yards on the ground. Pollard was ticketed for a much bigger role when starter Ezekiel Elliott was involved in a […]

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott scored a touchdown in Week 1, helping his team to a comfortable win over the New York Giants. Elliott ran the ball 13 times, gaining 53 yards on the ground. His touchdown came on a solid 10-yard run. He also caught a pass for 10 more yards through the […]

Eagles Defense Doesn't Shine in Week 1

The Philadelphia Eagles Defense took a back seat to their impressive offense in Week 1. The Eagles beat Washington by a score of 32-27, but besides allowing 27 points to a Washington offense that was expected to struggle, the Eagles defense didn't record an interception and only had one sack. A 48-yard touchdown pass to […]

Jake Elliott Makes All of His Kicks in Week 1

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott was perfect in Week 1, hitting his lone field-goal attempt from 22 yards out and converting all three of his extra-point attempts. In an offense that should score plenty of points, Elliott is one of the better and more consistent fantasy place kicker options.

Dallas Goedert Catches Two Passes in Week 1

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert caught two passes in Week 1, gaining 16 yards. Goedert played behind top tight end Zach Ertz, of course, but the passing game in this one was dominated by wide receivers DeSean Jackson and Alshon Jeffery. Goedert will have more productive games this season, but his upside is limited […]

Zach Ertz Catches Five Passes in Week 1

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz caught five passes in Sunday's Week 1 win, gaining 54 yards. Ertz was solid in this one, averaging over 10 yards per reception, but DeSean Jackson dominated the passing game with some help from Alshon Jeffery.

J.J. Arcega-Whiteside Doesn't Record an Offensive Stat in Week 1

Philadelphia Eagles rookie wide receiver J.J. Arcega-Whiteside didn't record an offensive stat in Week 1. DeSean Jackson and Alshon Jeffery took over the passing game, with Nelson Agholor seeing just two catches. Arcega-Whiteside should battle with Agholor for the third spot on the receiver depth chart all season, but that may not be a particularly […]

Nelson Agholor Catches Two Passes in Week 1

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Nelson Agholor caught just two passes in Week 1, gaining 11 yards. Agholor played far behind starters DeSean Jackson and Alshon Jeffery, and will likely continue in a similar role this season. It will take an injury in the wide receiver depth chart for Agholor to carve out a significant fantasy-relevant […]

Alshon Jeffery Scores Two Week 1 Touchdowns

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Alshon Jeffery scored two touchdowns in the Eagles Week 1 victory. Jeffery caught five passes, gaining 49 yards, including a five-yard touchdown.

DeSean Jackson Runs Wild in His Return to the Eagles

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson thoroughly enjoyed his return to the Eagles offense, catching eight passes for 154 yards and two touchdowns. Jackson did exactly what the Eagles envisioned him doing, getting open deep and scoring touchdowns on 51 and 53-yard passes from Carson Wentz. Jackson looked great in this one and should have […]

Jordan Howard Runs the Ball Six Times in Week 1

Howard trailed Darren Sproles (9) and Miles Sanders (11) in carries, but averaged the most yards per carry in the Eagles backfield with 7.3. Howard was efficient, […]

Miles Sanders Carries the Ball 11 Times in His Debut

Philadelphia Eagles rookie running back Miles Sanders led the Eagles in carries in Week 1, running the ball 11 times. He gained 25 yards on the ground, adding one catch for two yards.

Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Adam Plutko earned a quality start on Friday but ended up with a no-decision. He tossed six innings, allowing two runs on seven hits and a walk. Plutko struck out five and lowered his ERA to 4.44. He's been a decent enough innings-eater for Cleveland, but there are likely better options […]
