Ezekiel Elliott Flying Back to Dallas on Tuesday

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott is reportedly flying back to Dallas on Tuesday. This is significant because recent reports stated that Elliott and the Cowboys were making progress on a multi-year deal. The running back has been holding out and working out away from the team in Cabo. With the Cowboys opening the season […]

Carlos Santana Hits His 32nd Blast on Monday

Cleveland Indians first baseman Carlos Santana went yard for the 32nd time on Monday, going 2-for-5 with a run scored and two RBI. His other hit was a single, and he improved his slash line to .292/.411/.548. Santana has been the most consistent hitter in the Cleveland lineup in a season of offensive ups and […]

Franmil Reyes Drives in Three Runs on Monday

Cleveland Indians outfielder/designated hitter Franmil Reyes drove in three runs on Monday, going 2-for-4 with a double and a single. He scored a run and rose his slash line to .232/.304/.465. Reyes got off to a very slow start after the trade deadline, but he's turned it on lately and could be a valuable offensive […]

Aaron Civale Wins His Third Game on Monday

Cleveland Indians rookie starting pitcher Aaron Civale pitched well enough on Monday, earning his third win to even his record at 3-3. He pitched just five innings, allowing three runs (one earned) on seven hits and three walks. He struck out four. It was actually one of his worst starts as a big leaguer, but […]

Carlos Martinez Earns a Four-Out Save on Monday

St. Louis Cardinals closer Carlos Martinez picked up his 17th save of the season on Monday, recording four outs without allowing a run or a hit. He struck out two and threw just 17 pitches. Martinez isn't an elite fireballer but he should be a solid source of saves with a few strikeouts for the […]

Adam Wainwright Throws Seven Shutout Innings on Monday

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Adam Wainwright was excellent on Monday, tossing seven shutout innings. He allowed just four hits without issuing a walk. He only struck out one but 62 of his 96 pitches were strikes. The win was "Waino's" 10th, improving to 10-9 and lowering his ERA to 4.30. Wainwright has had some […]

Amari Cooper Says He's Good to Go for Sunday

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Amari Cooper (foot) said he thinks he's good to go for Week 1's matchup against the New York Giants. He mentioned that he did not feel any pain in his foot during Monday's practice. He'd been running at full speed, but the foot injury wasn't allowing him to cut and complete […]

Dallas Goedert Ready For a Bigger Role in 2019

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert is ready for a more effective and more involved 2019 season. He'll remain behind Zach Ertz, but the Eagles are expected to default to an "11" personnel on offense, meaning there will be two tight ends on the field. Goedert looked strong in his rookie season and should continue […]

Miles Sanders Should Have a Strong Rookie Year

Philadelphia Eagles rookie running back Miles Sanders should have a solid rookie year. His strong performance throughout training camp, practices, and the preseason have put him atop the depth chart. He'll have plenty of competition, though, as Corey Clement and Darren Sproles figure to split passing downs and Jordan Howard looks ticketed for short-yardage work. […]

Jordan Howard Could Score a Few Touchdowns This Season

Philadelphia Eagles running back Jordan Howard could see the end zone many times this season. Set to work as the short-yardage back, Howard won't have the volume to provide consistent fantasy value, but he could have several multi-touchdown weeks. It looks like rookie Miles Sanders will be the lead back with passing game help from […]

Alshon Jeffery Could Have Peaks and Valleys Upcoming

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Alshon Jeffery is set to have several huge games this season. He is also, however, a candidate to have some quiet outings as well. With the Eagles adding DeSean Jackson and several talented running backs to the offense, quarterback Carson Wentz will not be forced to focus on Jeffery in games […]

Zach Ertz May Get Fewer Targets, but Will Still Be a TE1

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz may cede some targets to rising sophomore Dallas Goedert this season, but he should still get more than enough to be a solid top-tier TE1 in all fantasy formats. Ertz ended up with a ridiculous and unsustainable target share last season, but with DeSean Jackson added to the wide […]

Carson Wentz Ready for a Healthy 2019 Season

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz saw his quarterback room go through several changes during the preseason, but he himself should be all set to go for a healthy and productive 2019 season. Wentz played as many preseason snaps and you and I, but he's looking at another possible MVP-level campaign if he stays on the […]

Michael Gallup Could Be Set for a Solid Sophomore Season

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Michael Gallup had some ups and downs as a rookie, but he should be set for a more productive and consistent season as a sophomore. His preseason usage suggests that he will be counted on as the "lid lifter" against opposing defenses, and that could create opportunities for some big games. […]

Mike Weber Cut by the Cowboys

Rookie running back Mike Weber was cut by the Dallas Cowboys on Saturday. Weber was drafted with the 218th overall pick but was outplayed by fellow rookie Tony Pollard in the preseason. If Weber makes it through waivers, he's likely to spend some time on the Cowboys practice squad.

Josh Adams Gets Cut by the Eagles

Running back Josh Adams was cut by the Philadelphia Eagles on Saturday. Adams led the Eagles in rushing last season but didn't have much of a chance to make the team this season with the newly acquired running backs on the Eagles roster. He'll very likely find a new team before next weekend.

Wendell Smallwood Waived by the Eagles

Running back Wendell Smallwood was waived by the Philadelphia Eagles on Saturday. Smallwood was on the outside looking in all preseason since the Eagles beefed up their backfield. He's a decent enough player as a depth piece and should have a job this season at least as a pass catcher out of the backfield.

Closers and Saves Report - Week 22 Waiver Wire

It was a nice and quiet week for most of the world's bullpens this week, a welcome change in a season that has experienced almost non-stop relief pitching turmoil. With the fantasy playoffs approaching rapidly for most and already arriving for some, every save, hold, strikeout, and ERA fraction could be the difference between a […]

Shane Bieber Loses Despite a Quality Start

Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Shane Bieber put together a quality start on Friday, but it wasn't enough for him to avoid a loss. Bieber tossed 6 1/3 innings, allowing three runs on six hits. He didn't give up a walk and struck out nine. Bieber actually started the seventh inning with a shutout going, but […]

Cody Kessler Waived By The Eagles

Quarterback Cody Kessler was waived by the Philadelphia Eagles on Friday. Kessler had a chance to win the Eagles backup job this preseason, but he suffered a concussion which led to the Eagles luring Josh McCown out of retirement. McCown easily won the backup job and will hold the clipboard for starter Carson Wentz. Kessler […]

Orlando Scandrick Released By The Eagles

Veteran defensive back Orlando Scandrick was released by the Philadelphia Eagles on Friday. Scandrick was decent as a member of the Kansas City Chiefs last season and shouldn't be out of a job for long. He's sure to latch on somewhere, at least as a depth piece. His release is good news for the Eagles […]

Eagles Defense Should Get Off to a Good Start This Season

The Philadelphia Eagles Defense isn't likely to be an elite fantasy unit this season, but they may get off to a good start with a Week 1 game against the Washington Redskins. The Eagles will be without Michael Bennett, Chris Long, and Jordan Hicks, who combined for 18.5 sacks last season. They'll need new Eagles […]

Cowboys Defense Could Be a Top-10 Unit This Season

The Dallas Cowboys Defense could be a top-10 fantasy unit in the 2019 season. They ended up seventh in total defense last season and sixth in defensive scoring in "real" football, but somehow that landed them 20th in fantasy scoring. Despite strong performances on the field overall, the defense only ended up with nine interceptions […]

Mike Weber Doesn't Do Much on Thursday

Dallas Cowboys rookie running back Mike Weber ran the ball five times on Thursday, gaining just seven yards. He caught three of his four targets in the passing game though, picking up 33 yards through the air. Weber is clearly behind Tony Pollard and Alfred Morris will certainly have a role as well, but Weber […]

Ezekiel Elliott Could Miss Games

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott is expected to miss some regular season games, according to team owner Jerry Jones. With Week 1 about a week away, Elliott will need to report within the next day or two in order to have a chance to play against the New York Giants in the 2019 opener. […]

Taryn Christion Looks Good on Thursday

Dallas Cowboys undrafted rookie quarterback Taryn Christion looked good in Thursday's final preseason game. He completed 11 of his 17 passes for 142 yards and a touchdown. He also led the Cowboys in rushing with five carries for 22 yards. The former South Dakota State Jackrabbit won't make it onto the final roster, but he […]

Wendell Smallwood Leads the Eagles Backfield Thursday

Philadelphia Eagles running back Wendell Smallwood led the Eagles backfield in carries and yards in Thursday's final preseason game. The Eagles were shutout in an ugly 6-0 loss, but Smallwood ran the ball seven times, gaining 23 yards. He lost a fumble and lost a yard on his only reception. Smallwood seems to be on […]

Clayton Thorson Closes Out the Preseason for the Eagles

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Clayton Thorson led the Eagles to a shutout on Thursday, completing 12 of his 26 passes for 84 scoreless yards. He threw an interception and ran the ball twice for two yards. Thorson is clearly far behind veteran backup Josh McCown but the fifth-round rookie should stick on the Philly roster, either […]

Jack Flaherty Puts Up a Quality Start but Takes a Loss

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Jack Flaherty pitched well enough to earn a quality start on Wednesday, but his offense didn't score him enough runs so he ended up with a loss. Flaherty went six innings, allowing three runs (two earned) on five hits and a walk. He struck out seven and lowered his ERA […]

Francisco Lindor Just A Triple Shy Of Cycle Wednesday

Cleveland Indians shortstop Francisco Lindor fell a triple shy of the cycle on Wednesday, going 3-for-5 with a home run, a double, and a single. He drove in a run and scored two, lifting his slash line to .300/.353/.532. He's once again one of the best offensive pieces in baseball.
