Michael Gallup Cannot Be Started in Week 4
Dallas Cowboys rookie wide receiver Michael Gallup cannot be placed in any starting lineups for a Week 4 matchup against the Detroit Lions. Gallup has come up with just three catches for 31 yards this season and no Dallas receiver has even been targeted more than five times in a game yet. The entire Dallas […]

Allen Hurns Not an Option in Week 4
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Allen Hurns is not a fantasy option for a Week 4 matchup against the Detroit Lions. Hurns has totaled four catches for 51 yards this season, and no Dallas wide receiver has been targeted more than five times in a game this season. The entire Dallas offense rests on Ezekiel Elliott's […]

Ezekiel Elliott Should Be the Cowboys Offense Again in Week 4
Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott should play the role of the entire Dallas offense again in Week 4. Elliott has 98.3 percent of the Cowboys backfield touches, easily the highest rate in the NFL. He has been quite effective on the ground and gets a good matchup against a Lions defense that has allowed […]

Dak Prescott Still Not a Fantasy Option in Week 4
Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott won't be a fantasy option in Week 4. In Prescott's last 13 games, he's reached 200 yards just three times and thrown for more than one touchdown in just 10 of those games. A league-average quarterback this season is making 17.5 percent of his throws at least 15 yards downfield. […]

Well, this is it. The Fantasy Finals! Some leagues are already done, having crowned their champions last week. Others will bring it down to the bitter end, leading right up to the "real" playoffs. Here's hoping you're either still alive or have already been crowned champion. Thanks for coming along for another ride this season […]

Terrance Williams Not Even Targeted in Week 3
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Terrance Williams was not even targeted in the passing game on Sunday. He only ended up playing on nine of the team's offensive snaps. On a team with a weak passing game, a guy who can't even see the field won't ever have any fantasy relevance.

Michael Gallup Records Just One Catch in Week 3
Dallas Cowboys rookie wide receiver Michael Gallup caught just one pass on Sunday, gaining 17 yards. He was targeted four times, but only came up with a catch one time. The third round pick has caught just three passes in three weeks. Once considered a possible bargain pick in redraft leagues, Gallup is looking like […]

Allen Hurns Catches Two Passes in Week 3
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Allen Hurns caught two passes on four targets on Sunday, gaining 22 yards. He was in the game more often than he'd been in Weeks 1 and 2, but he was still unable to make much of an impact. Once considered a possible fantasy draft bargain, Hurns is starting to look […]

Ezekiel Elliott Works as the Cowboys Offense in Week 3
Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott ran the ball 16 times for 127 yards, adding three catches for 11 more yards in Week 3. Elliott was targeted eight times in the passing game but only came up with three grabs. Still, his fantasy owners were happy with the 127 yards, especially with how much the […]

Dak Prescott Has Another Mediocre Day in Week 3
Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott had another mediocre performance in Week 3, connecting on 19 of 34 passes for 168 yards. He threw for one touchdown but threw two interceptions. He was able to add 21 yards on two runs. He was also sacked five times, losing 31 yards in the process. With the Cowboys […]

Zach Ertz Gains 73 Yards in Week 3
Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz was targeted 10 times on Sunday, catching five of them for 73 yards. Ertz ended up leading the Eagles in targets, yards, and catches. It was as expected, with Carson Wentz (knee) back in the starting lineup. Ertz still hasn't scored a touchdown, but he's been able to provide […]

Wendell Smallwood Makes the Most of His Week 3 Chances
Philadelphia Eagles running back Wendell Smallwood made the most of his chance on Sunday, running the ball 10 times for 56 yards and a touchdown, adding three catches for 35 more yards. Smallwood was given the "start" but ended up with fewer touches than Corey Clement. Smallwood could draw some fantasy attention if Darren Sproles […]

Corey Clement Doesn't Do Much With His 19 Touches
Philadelphia Eagles running back Corey Clement disappointed a bit in Week 3, running the ball 16 times for 56 yards and adding three catches for 19 more yards. With Darren Sproles (hamstring) and Jay Ajayi (back) out, Clement was expected to have a big game, but he ceded several carries (and a touchdown) to usually-special-teams-only […]

Dallas Goedert Shines in Week 3
Philadelphia Eagles rookie tight end Dallas Goedert had a strong game on Sunday, catching all seven of his targets for 73 yards and a touchdown. He looked great in this one, but his usage so far this season has been far too inconsistent to count on in Week 4. One more week like this one, […]

Week 26 MLB Closers and Saves Report
Congrats on (probably) making it through the first week or two of the playoffs! I got knocked out in the first round because almost all of my hitters decided to pretty much take a week off from being on base. My closers did great though, so I'm still qualified to create this week's Closers and […]

Cole Beasley Shows Up on Thursday's Injury Report
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Cole Beasley popped up on Thursday's injury report, getting in a limited practice due to an ankle injury. Late-week injuries are never a good sign, but there's been no mention yet of Beasley being forced to miss Sunday's game against the Seattle Seahawks. Whether or not he plays, Beasley's fantasy status […]

Carlos Carrasco Punches Out 11 on Wednesday
Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Carlos Carrasco was great on Wednesday, striking out 11 in 6 2/3 innings. He allowed just one run on four hits and a walk. The one run he allowed was on a solo home run. Carrasco did not factor in the decision, as Cleveland won on a grand slam in the […]

Jason Kipnis Wins the Game With a Grand Slam
Cleveland Indians infielder/outfielder Jason Kipnis won Wednesday's game with a grand slam in the bottom of the ninth. It was his only hit of the night, as he finished 1-for-3 with a walk, four RBI, and a run scored. The slam was Kipnis' 1000th hit of his career, and his first hit was also a […]

Sean Lee Not at Practice on Wednesday
Dallas Cowboys linebacker Sean Lee missed practice on Wednesday due to a hamstring injury. Death, taxes, and Sean Lee missing practice. It's unclear for now how severe Lee's injury is, but any time he is on the field, the Cowboys defense looks significantly better. He would seemingly still have a chance to suit up on […]

Terrance Williams Shouldn't Be In Any Lineups for Week 3
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Terrance Williams shouldn't be starting in any fantasy lineups for Week 3. Williams has caught two passes for 18 yards so far this season, despite being on the field for most of the first two games. The Cowboys offense simply isn't working outside of running back Ezekiel Elliott. None of the […]

Corey Clement Could Have a Huge Week 3
Philadelphia Eagles running back Corey Clement could have a big week in Week 3. With Darren Sproles (hamstring) and Jay Ajayi (back) looking questionable at best, Clement could end up taking on a huge role. If Sproles and Ajayi sit, Clement would lead a backfield that would also "feature" Wendell Smallwood and undrafted free agent […]

Allen Hurns Cannot Be Started in Week 3
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Allen Hurns cannot be trusted in a starting lineup in Week 3. Hurns has two catches for 29 yards through the first two games of the season and the Cowboys seem committed to running their entire offense through running back Ezekiel Elliott. Hurns might still develop some value later on in […]

Ezekiel Elliott Should Run the Cowboys Offense in Week 3
Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott has essentially become the entire offense for the team. Their whole playbook seems to be, "get the ball to Zeke" written in crayon. Quarterback Dak Prescott has eclipsed 212 yards passing in just one of his past 10 games and has thrown more than one touchdown just twice in […]

Dak Prescott Not a Starting Option for Week 3
Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott is not a starting option in a Week 3 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks. Prescott has now thrown for 212 yards or fewer in nine of the past 10 games he's started. In eight of those games, he's thrown fewer than two touchdowns. He's essentially become the middle man to […]

Zach Ertz Could Be Great in Week 3
Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz is lined up for a strong Week 3 performance. Ertz leads all tight ends with 23 targets through the first two weeks. Although he was certainly Nick Foles' favorite target, he also was a top-10 tight end in 9-of-11 Wentz starts last season. While he may see one or […]

Kamar Aiken Could Have a Role in Week 3
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Kamar Aiken could have a bigger than expected role in Week 3. With Alshon Jeffery (shoulder), Darren Sproles (hamstring), and Jay Ajayi (back) all questionable at best and Mike Wallace (leg) out, the Eagles are running out of players to catch passes from the returning Carson Wentz. Aiken played 78 percent […]

Wendell Smallwood Could Have a Week 3 Role
Philadelphia Eagles running back Wendell Smallwood could have a somewhat significant role in Week 3, but it's unlikely to be enough to create a significant fantasy impact. With Darren Sproles (hamstring) and Jay Ajayi (back) questionable at best to play against the Colts, Corey Clement could be leading the Eagles backfield against a Colts defense […]

Darren Sproles Seems Unlikely to Play in Week 3
Philadelphia Eagles running back Darren Sproles (hamstring) seems unlikely to play in Week 3. Sproles already missed Week 2, and coach Doug Pederson said his recovery could take, "a little longer" than that of Jay Ajayi. Even if Sproles ultimately suits up for Sunday's game, he'd be playing on an injured hamstring and likely wouldn't […]

Jay Ajayi May Be Too Risky to Start in Week 3
Philadelphia Eagles running back Jay Ajayi (back) may or may not play in Week 3, but seems to be shaping up as far too risky to take a chance on regardless. Even if Ajayi ends up listed as questionable to play, it seems like the team is preparing to be without him and Darren Sproles […]

Nick Foles Heads to the Bench in Week 3
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Nick Foles is back to holding a clipboard in Week 3. With Carson Wentz (knee) returning to a starting role, Foles will go back to being one of the better backups in the NFL. Foles was able to lead the Eagles to a 1-1 start despite not playing nearly as well as […]
