Josh Adams a Risky Upside Choice in Week 12
Philadelphia Eagles running back Josh Adams is a risky but potentially high-upside fantasy option for Week 12 against the New York Giants. Adams played on 55 percent of the Eagles offensive snaps last week, running 16 pass routes. He was clearly working as the lead back in Week 11, but it is still a bit […]

Carson Wentz a Strong Week 12 Option
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz is a strong Week 12 option despite his poor performance in Week 11. He'd been excellent every game up until Week 11, so it's fair to throw that poor performance away and give credit to the Saints defense. Wentz had been a top-five fantasy quarterback up until then, and the […]

Dallas Cowboys Defense a Solid Week 12 Option
The Dallas Cowboys defense makes for a solid fantasy option in Week 12 against Washington. With quarterback Alex Smith done for the season after a gruesome leg injury, backup Colt McCoy will make his first start since 2014 on a huge stage and after a short week. The Cowboys defense has been solid all season, […]

Cole Beasley a Low-End Option in Week 12
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Cole Beasley is a low-end fantasy option for Week 12 against Washington. Beasley was targeted seven times in Week 11, catching five of them for 51 yards. It was his best game since the Cowboys acquired Amari Cooper. He may continue to be heavily targeted, but he remains a low-upside option […]

Michael Gallup Plans to Play on Thanksgiving
Dallas Cowboys rookie wide receiver Michael Gallup plans to play on Thanksgiving against Washington. Gallup was informed of his brother taking his own life after the Cowboys game on Sunday. Gallup stayed in Atlanta to be with his family and did not immediately rejoin his teammates. While no one would fault Gallup for missing Week […]

Allen Hurns Unusable in Week 12
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Allen Hurns is not a realistic fantasy option in a Week 12 matchup against Washington. Hurns was not even in the box score in Week 11, catching zero passes. For the season, he's caught 16 passes for 221 yards and two touchdowns despite being active for every game. He's fallen far […]

Amari Cooper a Decent Option on Thanksgiving
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Amari Cooper is a decent fantasy option for a Week 12 game against Washington. Since joining the Cowboys, Cooper has finally become a usable fantasy asset, but the limited Dallas passing game still limits his upside. He's seeing 23 percent of the targets from quarterback Dak Prescott, a huge improvement from […]

Ezekiel Elliott a Strong Thanksgiving Option for Week 12
Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott is a good option for a Thanksgiving contest against Washington. He was held to just 33 rushing yards, his season low, the last time these two teams met. The Washington run defense is quite different now though, as they have allowed over 100 yards from scrimmage to opposing running […]

Dak Prescott Not a Great Option on Thanksgiving
Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott is not a great fantasy option for a Week 12 Thanksgiving matchup against Washington. He had an excellent matchup last week and wasn't able to do much, despite a couple of solid weeks beforehand. He's scored a touchdown on the ground in four of the past five games, but he's […]

Zach Ertz An Elite Tight End Option Again in Week 11
Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz is once again an elite tight end option in Week 11. To provide a quick idea of how excellent Ertz's season has been so far: if he makes no catches in Week 11, he will still have the most catches (75) through 10 games for any tight end in […]

Nelson Agholor Risky to Rely On in Week 11
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Nelson Agholor is a risky fantasy option for Week 11. Taking on the New Orleans Saints in what is almost sure to be a high-scoring game, Agholor should get some chances to make plays on Sunday. However, the presence of Golden Tate is likely to limit Agholor's target share, especially if […]

Golden Tate a Dart-Throw Option in Week 11
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Golden Tate is a low-floor, high-upside dart throw for a Week 11 matchup against the New Orleans Saints. Despite having a bye week to work with after joining the Eagles, Tate ran just 15 pass routes in Week 10. He'll certainly be more involved in Week 11, but he's unlikely to […]

Alshon Jeffery Looks to Improve in Week 11
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Alshon Jeffery is a decent option in what should be a high-scoring Week 11 game against the New Orleans Saints. Jeffery has been struggling somewhat lately, recording just eight catches for 83 yards over the past two games. All of Jeffery's low scoring games this season have been against strong opposing […]

Wendell Smallwood Not a Good Week 11 Option
Philadelphia Eagles running back Wendell Smallwood is not a recommended fantasy option in a Week 11 matchup against the New Orleans Saints. Smallwood fell behind in the Eagles backfield pecking order in Week 10, getting five touches to Corey Clement's six and Josh Adams' seven. It's a messy backfield in general, but the Week 11 […]

Corey Clement Is Best Left on the Bench in Week 11
Philadelphia Eagles running back Corey Clement is not a good fantasy option in Week 11. Clement seemed to fall behind Josh Adams in Week 10, seeing six touches to Adams' seven and watching Wendell Smallwood get five of his own. It's a messy backfield that's hard to trust on a good week. This week, facing […]

Josh Adams Faces a Tough Challenge in Week 11
Philadelphia Eagles running back Josh Adams faces a tough challenge in a Week 11 game against the New Orleans Saints. While Adams seemed to take over the backfield in Week 10, getting seven touches to lead Eagles backs, he still saw Wendell Smallwood touch the ball five times and Corey Clement touch the ball six […]

Carson Wentz Shaping Up As a Strong Week 11 Option
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz is a great option in a Week 11 matchup with the New Orleans Saints. Wentz has been the fantasy QB4 since Week 4 and has put up at least 20 fantasy points in five of six games. In a game that is expected to be a shootout, Wentz should have […]

Michael Gallup Has a Good Week 11 Matchup
Dallas Cowboys rookie wide receiver Michael Gallup has an easy matchup in Week 11 against the Atlanta Falcons defense. Gallup has worked his way up to WR2 duties on the Cowboys, starting alongside Amari Cooper. Still, it's a low-output passing game that likely can only support one fantasy-relevant wide receiver. Gallup's dynasty outlook is improving […]

Allen Hurns Not a Strong Option Even With a Good Matchup
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Allen Hurns is not a recommended fantasy option in Week 11 despite a good matchup against a soft Atlanta Falcons defense. He's at best the fifth option in a low-yield passing game, making him nearly unusable in fantasy outside of the deepest of leagues. He can be dropped in most formats.

Cole Beasley Could Provide a Floor in Week 11
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Cole Beasley could be a decent floor play in deeper leagues in Week 11. Taking on a soft Atlanta Falcons defense, Beasley is sure to see some targets from quarterback Dak Prescott. While the Cowboys offense will certainly be run through running back Ezekiel Elliott, Beasley should see some targets behind […]

Amari Cooper Much More Reliable in a Cowboys Uniform
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Amari Cooper has been a much more reliable fantasy asset since joining the Cowboys. In two games as a Dallas wide receiver, Cooper has finished as the fantasy WR13 and the WR22. He's seen 18 targets and shown a solid floor, although he's yet to reach his ceiling. Heavily targeted albeit […]

Ezekiel Elliott Looks Set for a Huge Game in Week 11
Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott seems set for a huge performance on Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons. Elliott ran all over the Eagles league-best run defense in Week 10, going for 187 total yards. He gets one of the league's worst defenses this week and should absolutely feast. The Falcons have faced nine backfields […]

Dak Prescott Has a Great Matchup in Week 11
Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott has an excellent matchup against the Atlanta Falcons defense in Week 11. The Falcons have allowed a touchdown on 35.2 percent of opponent drives this season, easily the highest rate in the league. They are 30th in passing points allowed per game, and have allowed over 20 fantasy points to […]

Golden Tate Catches Two Passes in His Eagles Debut
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Golden Tate caught two passes in Week 10, totaling 19 yards. In his Eagles debut, Tate served as the punt returner but played only a bit role in the offense. Tight end Zach Ertz completely ran this game, catching 14 passes and scoring two touchdowns. Tate will likely see his offensive […]

Alshon Jeffery Brings in Four Passes in Week 10
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Alshon Jeffery caught four passes in Week 10, totaling 48 yards. Tight end Zach Ertz completely took over this game, catching 14 passes and scoring two touchdowns. Jeffery will have better games than this one going forward, most likely starting next week against the Saints.

Nelson Agholor Catches Five Passes in Week 10
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Nelson Agholor caught five passes on Sunday night, gaining 83 yards. While tight end Zach Ertz was doing as he pleased, catching 14 passes, Nelson Agholor led the Eagles wide receivers in both catches and yards. He's been a low-upside receiver since Carson Wentz returned, but he's still been able to […]

Zach Ertz Runs All Over the Cowboys Defense in Week 10
Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz caught 14 passes on Sunday night, gaining 145 yards and catching two touchdowns. Ertz was amazing in this one, doing as he pleased across the field. Ertz's 14 catches were nine more than the next highest total, Nelson Agholor's five, showing just how much quarterback Carson Wentz locked in […]

Wendell Smallwood Gets Just Five Touches in Week 10
Philadelphia Eagles running back Wendell Smallwood ran the ball just twice on Sunday night, gaining only four yards. He did add three catches for 30 yards. Smallwood was clearly working behind rookie Josh Adams, who seemed to take over the Eagles backfield in this one. Smallwood will serve as a depth piece going forward, and […]

Corey Clement Totals Just Eight Yards in Week 10
Philadelphia Eagles running back Corey Clement ran the ball five times for 13 yards on Sunday night, also catching a pass but losing five yards in the process. Rookie running back Josh Adams seemed to take over the Eagles backfield in this one, leaving Clement and Wendell Smallwood working behind him. Clement has the talent […]

Josh Adams Leads the Eagles Backfield in Week 10
Philadelphia Eagles rookie running back Josh Adams led the Eagles backfield in carries and yards on Sunday night. He ran the ball seven times, gaining 47 yards. There had been signs in recent games that Adams would start getting more run, but he outperformed the rest of the Eagles backs by a significant margin. Corey […]
