Alshon Jeffery Participating in Individual Drills
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Alshon Jeffery (shoulder) will participate in individual drills on Wednesday. Jeffery seems on track for a "limited" practice, which is certainly much better than the DNP he's been listed as up until now. It's nearly a certainty that he won't play in Week 2, but perhaps if everything goes right he […]

Nick Foles Officially Named the Starter for Week 2
The Philadelphia Eagles officially named quarterback Nick Foles as the starter for Week 2 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. It's football's least shocking news item, as Carson Wentz (knee) still hasn't been fully cleared for contact. Foles wasn't great in Week 1, throwing for just 117 yards, but he managed to lead the Eagles to […]

Corey Kluber Won't Make His Next Scheduled Start
Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Corey Kluber will not make his next start as scheduled. Even though the Cleveland ace only lasted 1 2/3 innings in his last outing, manager Terry Francona has decided to skip Kluber's next turn in the rotation so that he can be better lined up for a start in the postseason. […]

Corey Kluber Struggles Against the Rays on Monday
Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Corey Kluber struggled in his start against the Tampa Bay Rays on Monday. He lasted only 1 2/3 innings, allowing four runs on five hits. It matched the shortest start of his career, but he'll still enter his next start with a 2.91 ERA and a 0.97 WHIP. He's almost guaranteed […]

Eagles Sign Braxton Miller
The Philadelphia Eagles signed wide receiver Braxton Miller, formerly of the Texans, to their practice squad. Miller was a third round pick in the 2016 draft but never amounted to much as a member of Houston's squad. He's clearly talented, though, and the Eagles will hope he develops into a useful piece. With Alshon Jeffery […]

Michael Gallup Makes One Catch on Sunday
Dallas Cowboys rookie wide receiver Michael Gallup only made one catch on Sunday, gaining nine yards. Gallup may eventually have some value this season once he's caught up to the speed of the NFL game, but he'll surely have more struggles in the early part of the season. He's worth hanging on to, but shouldn't […]

Allen Hurns Catches Just One Pass in Week 1
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Allen Hurns managed only one catch, gaining 20 yards in Week 1. The entire Cowboys offense struggled, but Hurns seemed like an afterthought behind Cole Beasley and Deonte Thompson. Hurns will surely have bigger games, but Sunday was proof that he'll carry a low floor into every game this season.

Cole Beasley Leads the Cowboys in Several Categories
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Cole Beasley was the focal point of the offense in Week 1 for some reason, catching seven passes for 73 yards. He was targeted eight times, leading the team in targets, catches, and yards. After gaining a total of 314 yards all last season, Beasley looks like he might be the […]

Ezekiel Elliott Has a Mediocre Week 1
Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott had a mediocre first week, running the ball 15 times for 69 yards and a touchdown. He added three catches on four targets for 17 more yards. It was a decent fantasy game for "Zeke" thanks to the touchdown, but the Cowboys offensive line was struggling to hold back […]

Jack Flaherty Lasts Just Five Innings on Saturday
St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Jack Flaherty only made it through five innings on Saturday, allowing three runs on four hits, walking four and striking out six.

Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Carlos Carrasco was completely dominant on Friday but was denied a victory. In eight innings, he allowed just one earned run (two runs total) on six hits and one walks while striking out 14.

Philadelphia Eagles running back Corey Clement ran the ball five times on Thursday night, gaining 26 yards. Almost all of Clement's yardage came on a huge 21-yard run, he was bottled up otherwise.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Nelson Agholor was targeted 10 times on Thursday night, catching eight passes. He somehow managed to gain just 33 yards total on those eight catches.

Mack Hollins Sent to Injured Reserve
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Mack Hollins was placed on injured reserve due to a groin injury. Hollins was slated for a much bigger role in his sophomore season, but he needs more time to recover from sports hernia surgery. He's a candidate to return in the second half of the season, but he certainly doesn't […]
