Edwin Encarnacion Remains Out of the Lineup on Tuesday

Cleveland Indians designated hitter Edwin Encarnacion remained out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Chicago White Sox. Encarnacion was forced to leave Saturday's game due to a right ankle sprain and hasn't played since then. Yandy Diaz will slide into Encarnacion's designated hitter spot for Tuesday's game.

Eagles Promote Josh Adams

The Philadelphia Eagles signed running back Josh Adams off of their own practice squad. Adams looked good in preseason games, but there wasn't room for him on the roster once final cuts needed to be made. While the team may have promoted him in order to keep him in the organization because other teams were […]

Miles Mikolas Wins Again on Monday

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Miles Mikolas earned his 16th win of the season on Monday, tossing five innings while allowing two runs on four hits and a walk. He struck out six on the night and is now 16-4 with a 3.01 ERA. He'll take on the Giants in his next start as he […]

Yadier Molina Drives in Three Runs on Monday

St. Louis Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina hit a home run and drove in three runs on Monday. He got his first RBI of the night the hard way, getting hit by a pitch with the bases loaded. He then hit a two-run home run and got to take a much less painful stroll around the […]

Randy Gregory Expected to Play in Week 3

Dallas Cowboys defensive end Randy Gregory (concussion) is expected to be able to play in Week 3 against the Seattle Seahawks. He was forced to miss Week 2 because of a concussion, but has already returned to practice and should be able to clear the league's concussion protocol in time for Sunday's game. Gregory's presence […]

Trevor Bauer Could Work Out of the Bullpen in the Playoffs

Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Trevor Bauer (leg) could pitch out of the bullpen in the postseason, according to team president Chris Antonetti. Bauer has a fractured fibula and hasn't pitched for about a month. He was able to make it through a bullpen session on Saturday and is scheduled to face live hitters early this […]

Michael Gallup Only Catches One Pass in Week 2

Dallas Cowboys rookie wide receiver Michael Gallup was only able to catch one pass on Sunday, gaining five yards. After being looked at as potentially "the only Dallas wide receiver worth owning" before the season began, Gallup has disappointed in two straight weeks to open up the season. While he still may have some lasting […]

Allen Hurns Catches Just One Pass Again in Week 2

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Allen Hurns caught only one pass in Week 2, after catching just one pass in Week 1 as well. Hurns gained nine yards in this one. After being talked about as a potential WR1 in the preseason, Hurns is now on pace for 16 catches this season. He cannot be started […]

Ezekiel Elliott Operates as the Dallas Offense in Week 2

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott was essentially the entire Dallas offense on Sunday night, running the ball 17 times for 78 yards and a touchdown and adding five catches for nine yards. His fourth quarter touchdown made his fantasy night worth it, but his heavy usage was encouraging going forward despite the overall struggles […]

Dak Prescott Doesn't Do Much Again in Week 2

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott completed 16 of 25 passes for 160 yards and a touchdown in Week 2 against the New York Giants. He also ran the ball seven times for another 45 yards. Prescott hasn't looked great in either of the first two games this season, playing more as a game manager than […]

Dallas Goedert Does Nothing in Week 2

Philadelphia Eagles rookie tight end Dallas Goedert did not catch a single pass in Week 2. He was amazing all preseason and made a lot of people excited, but he has not done much in the first two weeks of the real season. Goedert has all the talent to succeed, but he played behind Josh […]

Zach Ertz Leads the Eagles in Targets in Week 2

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz led the Eagles in targets in Week 2, catching 11 of 13 for 94 yards. Any time Nick Foles is the quarterback, Ertz is a safe bet to be in double-digits in terms of targets. There's a chance Carson Wentz (knee) will return next week, and while Wentz may […]

Corey Clement Takes Advantage of His Opportunity in Week 2

Philadelphia Eagles running back Corey Clement took advantage of his opportunity in Week 2, running the ball six times for 30 yards and catching five passes for 55 yards. With Darren Sproles inactive and Jay Ajayi missing almost the whole first half with a back injury, Clement got a chance to show off a bit […]

Jay Ajayi Battles Through an Injury in Week 2

Philadelphia Eagles running back Jay Ajayi battled through a back injury to rush seven times for 23 yards and a touchdown, adding a four-yard catch. Ajayi missed almost the entire first half, but was more involved in the second half. The touchdown saved what would have been a dud of a fantasy day. He's definitely […]

Nelson Agholor Sees Double-Digit Targets Again

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Nelson Agholor drew 12 targets on Sunday, catching eight of them for 95 yards and a touchdown. He has now drawn more than 10 targets for both of the first two weeks of the season. Alshon Jeffery (shoulder) is expected to miss at least one more game, and Carson Wentz (knee) […]

Nick Foles Exceeds Expectations in Week 2

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Nick Foles exceeded expectations in Week 2, throwing for 334 yards and a touchdown, completing 35 of his 48 passes. Foles ended up with decent looking numbers, but he did struggle a bit on the field, taking six sacks and taking a while to get things going against a bad Tampa Bay […]

Week 25 MLB Closers and Saves Report

If you're still reading this, you're most likely either in the playoffs or winding down the year in a rotisserie league. Either way: congrats! This week was another interesting one in bullpens across the league, one that will certainly affect not only the fantasy playoffs but also the real MLB playoffs next month. There's bullpen […]

Jose Ramirez Gets Cleveland's Only Hit of the Day

Cleveland Indians infielder Jose Ramirez got the only hit of the day for his team, hitting a solo home run in the seventh inning. Rays starter Blake Snell was throwing a no-hitter before Ramirez came up to ruin it. The Cleveland hitters were unable to get any other hits after Ramirez's blast. It was his […]

Carlos Carrasco Works a Quality Start on Wednesday

Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Carlos Carrasco picked up a quality start on Wednesday, tossing seven innings of three-run ball, striking out five. He allowed six hits and walked two. The five strikeouts were his fewest since June, but it was still a solid performance. He'll take a 16-9 record and a 3.43 ERA into his […]

Geoff Swaim Could Be Useful in Week 2

Dallas Cowboys tight end Geoff Swaim could be a useful floor play in Week 2 against the New York Giants. Swaim dominated snaps in Week 1, playing on 58 of the 64 offensive snaps taken by the Cowboys. Combine that with the fact that the Giants defense tends to struggle against tight ends, and you […]

Michael Gallup Not a Good Option for Week 2

Dallas Cowboys rookie wide receiver Michael Gallup is not a strong option for Week 2 against the New York Giants. While fantasy owners still have hope that Gallup could develop into something useful as the season goes on, Week 2 is unlikely to be that week. In a matchup that is expected to be very […]

Allen Hurns Should Not Be Relied On in Week 2

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Allen Hurns is not a starting option for Week 2 against the New York Giants. In a game that will likely run through Ezekiel Elliott on the ground and short passes to Cole Beasley through the air, Hurns may end up an afterthought much like he was in Week 1. He […]

Cole Beasley Could Be a Floor Play for Week 2

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Cole Beasley isn't a recommended starter for Week 2, but he could produce a decent floor. Owners desperate for a wide receiver or flex play can likely find a higher risk/higher reward option on the wire, but Beasley's floor might be safest. He's absolutely not an exciting option, but he's been […]

Ezekiel Elliott the Only Usable Cowboy in Week 2

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott is the only Cowboys offensive player who can be trusted in fantasy for Week 2. In what should be a close game against the New York Giants, Elliott should get plenty of chances to run the ball. Despite a mediocre performance in Week 1, "Zeke" led all NFL running […]

Dak Prescott Not a Good Option in Week 2

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott is not a good fantasy option in a Week 2 matchup against the New York Giants. In what is expected to be a low-scoring game, Prescott isn't likely to do enough to even produce QB2 value. Prescott has been in the bottom half of QB fantasy scoring in nine of […]

Zach Ertz Still a Starting Option Despite a Touch Matchup

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz is still a starting option in Week 2 despite facing off against the Tampa Bay Bucs defense. The Bucs defense has struggled against running backs and wide receivers, but has actually defended opposing tight ends extremely well, allowing the fewest points to tight ends since the beginning of last […]

Mike Wallace Could Surprise in Week 2

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Mike Wallace could surprise with a strong performance in Week 2 against the Tampa Bay Bucs. Wallace did not catch a ball in Week 1, but he did run 34 routes and had several deep balls thrown in his direction. With the Bucs likely starting backup defensive backs, Wallace could have […]

Nelson Agholor Set Up for a Strong Week 2

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Nelson Agholor looks like a good bet to make some noise in Week 2 against a struggling Tampa Bay defense. Agholor made eight catches in Week 1 but somehow turned it into just 33 yards. The Bucs defense allowed 13 catches to slot receivers in Week 1 and should provide much […]

Corey Clement Should Have Another Quiet Game in Week 2

Philadelphia Eagles running back Corey Clement isn't expected to take on a huge role in Week 2 against Tampa Bay. Clement was only in for 13 snaps in Week 1, and his role isn't likely to grow much in Week 2. With Jay Ajayi locked in on early downs and Darren Sproles around to share […]

Darren Sproles Not a Strong Option for Week 2

Philadelphia Eagles running back Darren Sproles is not a recommended fantasy option for Week 2 against Tampa Bay. Sproles tied with Jay Ajayi for the lead in backfield snaps in Week 1 with 29, but the Eagles have already said that Ajayi will be in there more often going forward. The backfield usage in the […]
