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.

Jason Kipnis Goes Yard Two Times on Wednesday
Cleveland Indians second baseman Jason Kipnis hit two home runs on Wednesday, going 2-for-4 with two runs scored and two RBI. It could have been a much bigger game, but Kipnis hit his jacks with the bases empty both times. Still, his owners are happy with two home runs. Kipnis has been hot lately, but […]

Brad Hand Earns a Save With a Perfect Inning
Cleveland Indians closer Brad Hand picked up his 32nd save of the season on Wednesday, tossing a perfect ninth inning to deliver a 4-2 victory. Hand needed just 12 pitches, making quick work of the Tigers in the ninth inning. Hand seems to be past his extended rough patch and should be back to being […]

Aaron Civale Pitches Great Again on Wednesday
Cleveland Indians rookie starting pitcher Aaron Civale put up another excellent start on Wednesday. He tossed seven innings, allowing just two runs on six hits. He didn't issue a walk and struck out five. Civale has been excellent in his first taste of the big leagues, posting a 2-3 record with a 1.96 ERA.

Nate Sudfeld Could Draw Interest from Indianapolis
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Nate Sudfeld could draw interest from the suddenly quarterback-needy Indianapolis Colts. The Colts tried to get Sudfeld from the Eagles practice squad in 2017 so there is known interest in the former sixth-round pick. Sudfeld played his college ball in Indiana and has a relationship with Colts coach Frank Reich. Sudfeld was […]

Paul DeJong Smashes a Homer on Monday
St. Louis Cardinals shortstop Paul DeJong hit another home run on Monday, his 24th of the season. DeJong went 1-for-2 with two walks, two runs scored, and three RBI. DeJong looks like he might be starting off a hot streak, and he's one of the most valuable offensive pieces when he's on. He'll take a […]

John Gant Improves to 9-0 on Monday
St. Louis Cardinals relief pitcher John Gant earned a win on Monday, improving his record to 9-0. Gant came on with two outs in the fourth inning to relieve ineffective starter Adam Wainwright. Gant tossed 2 1/3 innings, allowing just a walk while striking out three. He's had some unhittable stretches this season mixed in […]

Adam Wainwright Can't Finish the Fourth on Monday
St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Adam Wainwright was unable to finish the fourth inning on Monday, lasting just 3 2/3 innings. He allowed two runs on six hits and three walks, striking out four along the way. Wainwright faced 20 batters and got 11 outs, but he needed 90 pitches to do so, throwing 41 […]
