Dak Prescott Completes All Five Passes on Saturday
Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott completed all five of his passes in Saturday's preseason game, gaining 64 yards. As expected, Prescott didn't play much but he should get a larger share of at least the first half in the Cowboys dress rehearsal next week. With Ezekiel Elliott far from a sure thing for Week 1, […]

Mikolas saw his record drop to 7-13 and his ERA rise to 4.30. Opponents are hitting .277 against him, and despite his […]

Zach Plesac Struggles a Bit on Saturday
Cleveland Indians rookie starting pitcher Zach Plesac wasn't sharp on Saturday. He tossed 4 2/3 innings, allowing five runs (four earned) on six hits and a walk. He struck out five but allowed three home runs. He was somewhat lucky to only allow the four earned runs given the three bombs he allowed, but this […]

Carlos Santana Gets Three Hits and Drives in Three Runs
Cleveland Indians first baseman Carlos Santana got three hits and drove in three runs on Saturday, going 3-for-4 with three singles. He brought his line up to .293/.414/.551. He's been the most consistent member of the Cleveland offense and one of the more consistent players in the American League. He should continue to do more […]

Wendell Smallwood Could Be Left Off the Roster
Philadelphia Eagles running back Wendell Smallwood could be left off the final roster before the season begins. Smallwood set a career high in touches last season, but he was average at best. With the Eagles drafting Miles Sanders and trading for Jordan Howard, Smallwood was pushed down the depth chart and will need to compete […]

Charles Johnson on the Outside Looking In
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Charles Johnson is on the outside looking in for a roster spot in 2019. Johnson excelled in the AAF as part of the Orlando Apollos and looked promising on the Vikings in 2014, but he's already 30 and buried on the depth chart. Behind at least Alshon Jeffery, DeSean Jackson, Nelson […]

Mack Hollins Likely to Play a Depth Role in 2019
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Mack Hollins is likely to play a depth role in 2019 if he makes it on the final roster. Buried on the depth chart behind at least Alshon Jeffery, DeSean Jackson, Nelson Agholor, and J.J. Arcega-Whiteside, Hollins will appear on special teams a lot more often than he does on offense. […]

Darren Sproles Should Have a Role on Offense
Philadelphia Eagles running back Darren Sproles should have a somewhat consistent role in 2019. He'll work on special teams as a returner, but should also see playing time on offense, splitting passing downs with Corey Clement. Sproles and Clement will eat into one another's fantasy value, but either back would be a solid option if […]

Josh Adams on the Roster Bubble
Philadelphia Eagles running back Josh Adams might not make the final Eagles roster this season. Adams led the team in rushing last season after joining the team as an undrafted rookie, but shoulder surgery combined with the additions of Miles Sanders and Jordan Howard have left Adams on the outside looking in. Sanders, Howard, Corey […]

Corey Clement Has Competition in the Backfield
Philadelphia Eagles running back Corey Clement could have some competition for passing downs from veteran Darren Sproles. Jordan Howard and rookie Miles Sanders seemed locked into early downs, and Clement and Sproles should handle passing situations. Given their ages, Clement should take the larger role, but Sproles could act as a vulture to Clement's fantasy […]

J.J. Arcega-Whiteside Quickly Gaining Preseason Buzz
Philadelphia Eagles rookie wide receiver J.J. Arcega-Whiteside is quickly gaining some preseason buzz, with some reporters thinking he could even be pushing Nelson Agholor for a starting role. The Eagles are reportedly "excited" about their second rounder, and while starters Alshon Jeffery and DeSean Jackson are in no danger of losing playing time, slot receiver […]

Jake Elliott In For Another Solid Season
Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott should be primed for another solid season in 2019. He had a good 2018, converting 26-of-31 field goals, but just two of 50 yards or more. He missed two extra points in 35 tries. With an improving offense, Elliott could get more chances this season and should be a solid […]

Nelson Agholor Could Lose His Role on Offense
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Nelson Agholor could be in line for a diminished role on offense this season. With Alshon Jeffery and DeSean Jackson atop the receiver depth chart, Agholor will need to hold off rookie J.J. Arcega-Whiteside to remain in a starting role. Arcega-Whiteside has reportedly been excellent in practice and could take Agholor's […]

Jordan Howard Should Have a Consistent Role in 2019
Philadelphia Eagles running back Jordan Howard should have a consistent short-yardage role in 2019. While rookie Miles Sanders has taken training camp by storm, Howard has remained solid and will play a significant role on the offense. He and Sanders will share early downs, with Sanders playing more often between the 20-yard lines and Howard […]

DeSean Jackson Should Have Some Huge Games This Season
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson could have some huge games this season. With quarterback Carson Wentz finally having the deep threat Torrey Smith should have been, Jackson could provide the Eagles offense with a new dimension. He won't be a super consistent option, but is an excellent best ball or DFS play, especially against […]

Carson Wentz Could Have a New Backup Soon
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz could be working with a new backup soon. Wentz has sat out the preseason so far but has seen Nate Sudfeld (wrist) and Cody Kessler (concussion) get hurt under center. Rookie Clayton Thorson is the only one left on the depth chart, and since the Eagles certainly don't want their […]

Alshon Jeffery Should Be a Solid Option This Season
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Alshon Jeffery should be a solid option in all fantasy formats this season. Jeffery sits atop the receiving depth chart on a team that should feature a strong offense. While there are a lot of mouths to feed in Philly, Jeffery provides the touchdown upside that is absent in some of […]

Zach Ertz Could See Fewer Targets in 2019
Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz could see fewer targets in 2019, according to Zack Rosenblatt of NJ.com. The Eagles added several pass-catchers in the offseason and saw tight end Dallas Goedert excel in limited chances last season. Ertz will still be an unquestioned TE1 if he stays healthy, but he just won't have the […]

Noah Brown Fighting for a Roster Spot
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Noah Brown is fighting for a roster spot on the receiver depth chart behind Amari Cooper, Randall Cobb, Michael Gallup, and Tavon Austin. The first three will start on offense and Austin plays a role on special teams. The departure of Allen Hurns gives Brown a better chance to lock down […]

Tavon Austin Looking at Punt-Return Duties This Season
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Tavon Austin should have punt-return duties all to himself this season. He split the work with Cole Beasley last season, but with Beasley gone, Austin should be the unquestioned returner for punts. Austin was allegedly going to get "12-24 touches" per game last season and then ended up with 14 total […]

Jason Witten "Better, Stronger and Faster" This Season
Dallas Cowboys tight end Jason Witten is "better, stronger and faster" than he was before, according to quarterback Dak Prescott. Witten took a year off to work in the broadcast booth but couldn't stay away too long. He's atop the Cowboys tight end depth chart but should cede some playing time to Blake Jarwin and […]

Alfred Morris Could Surprise in 2019
Dallas Cowboys running back Alfred Morris could be a surprising source of fantasy value in 2019. It all depends on Ezekiel Elliott of course, as if he's on the field, Morris will be almost exclusively on the sidelines. If Elliott sticks with his holdout, however, Morris will be the one to take the ball on […]

Brett Maher Looking for Another Solid Season
Dallas Cowboys kicker Brett Maher is hoping to build on his solid 2018 season and should be a decent contributor in fantasy leagues this year as well. Maher went 29-for-36 last season with six field goals of 50 yards or more. He only missed one extra point try in 33 chances. He's not a get-him-early […]

Randall Cobb a Risky Wide Receiver This Season
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Randall Cobb is a risky but potentially decent-upside player in fantasy leagues this season. He signed a one-year, $5 million deal with the Cowboys this offseason and will essentially be a one-for-one replacement for Cole Beasley in the slot. Cobb and quarterback Dak Prescott were reportedly connecting well earlier in the […]

Michael Gallup Has Two Preseason Catches So Far
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Michael Gallup has made two catches so far in the preseason, gaining 19 yards. Gallup had an overall solid rookie season, although he was a bit inconsistent. He looked much more valuable on the actual field than on a fantasy team, but he should have some use in deeper formats this […]

Ezekiel Elliott About 50-50 for Week 1
Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott, currently holding out for a better contract, is "a coin flip" to play in Week 1, according to former Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo. Elliott is reportedly in "the best shape of his life" and weighs 220 pounds, his lowest weight since his rookie season. Elliott's holdout was not taken […]

Closers and Saves Report - Week 20 Waiver Wire
It wasn't a huge week in terms of bullpen news, which was actually kind of nice after two weeks of shuffling and hustling throughout Major League Baseball's bullpens. There were some smaller things that happened this week though, that could lead to bigger news down the road. Some trade deadline acquisitions don't look like they're […]

Michael Wacha Throws Five Decent Innings on Thursday
St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Michael Wacha was okay on Thursday, throwing five innings but taking a loss. He allowed two runs on five hits and two walks. He struck out three and threw 80 pitches. Wacha hasn't been great this season as his 5.44 ERA shows, but he did well enough this time to […]

Adam Plutko Earns a Win and Quality Start on Thursday
Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Adam Plutko pitched well on Thursday, earning a win and a quality start. He went six innings, allowing three runs on six hits and a walk. He struck out three but allowed two home runs. Given a huge cushion early in a game that Cleveland would win 19-5, Plutko pitched to […]

Carlos Santana Goes Yard Twice on Thursday
Cleveland Indians first baseman Carlos Santana had a huge game on Thursday, going 3-for-5 with two home runs and a double. He scored four runs and drove in three, also adding a walk. Santana improved to .290/.413/.553. He's having an excellent season back in Cleveland.
