Eagles Tight End Brent Celek Could Retire

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Brent Celek could retire this offseason. Talk about going out on top. Celek was the blocking element of the Eagles tight ends, playing behind pass-catcher Zach Ertz. Celek was in on just over 40 percent of the offensive snaps taken by the Eagles in 2017. Celek has spent all 11 years […]

Kenny Vaccaro Drawing Interest From Cowboys

Free-agent defensive back Kenny Vaccaro has drawn interest from the Dallas Cowboys, according to a source. The former New Orleans Saint is now a free agent, and the Cowboys certainly have a need at defensive back. He's set to command a fairly large contract, but he played his college ball for the University of Texas […]

Bud Norris Could Be Used as a Starting Pitcher in St. Louis

Newly-signed St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Bud Norris may be given a chance to work as a starting pitcher this season. He's been working (and at times excelling) out of the bullpen in recent seasons, but the Cardinals have said he may get a chance to work in the rotation if any of their young arms […]

Francisco Lindor and the Indians Have Not Had Contract Extension Talks Lately

Cleveland Indians shortstop Francisco Lindor and the team have not had any contract extension talks lately, according to a source familiar with the situation. The two sides were discussing a long-term deal last offseason, but it seems like those talks have been tabled for now. Rumors say Lindor turned down something along the lines of […]

Lance Lynn Drawing Interest from Several Teams

Free-agent starting pitcher Lance Lynn is reportedly drawing interest from seven or eight teams. The Milwaukee Brewers and Baltimore Orioles are confirmed to be among the teams showing interest, but they are also reportedly exploring the trade market for starting pitching as well. The source mentions that the Cardinals, Lynn's former team, are "not in […]

Indians Sign Stephen Fife

The Cleveland Indians signed pitcher Stephen Fife to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training. Fife is 31 and hasn't pitched in a major league game since he underwent Tommy John Surgery in 2014. He spent 2017 with the Marlins organization and with the Seibu Lions in Japan. He's organizational depth, at […]

Zach Ertz Scores a Huge Touchdown in the Super Bowl

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz caught seven of his nine targets in the Super Bowl, gaining 67 yards and scoring a touchdown. Ertz continually gained enough yards to move the chains and eventually scored a huge 11-yard touchdown. Ertz is an unquestioned TE1 in fantasy, and a top-three player at his position along with […]

Torrey Smith Catches Five Passes in the Super Bowl

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Torrey Smith caught five of his nine targets in the Super Bowl, gaining 49 yards. Smith was disappointingly inconsistent this season, defining the boom-or-bust stereotype, without enough booms to justify the busts. If he remains in the same role next season, he won't be worth owning in the majority of formats.

Nelson Agholor Catches Nine Passes in the Super Bowl

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Nelson Agholor was targeted 11 times in the Super Bowl, catching nine passes for 84 yards. He also ran the ball once for nine yards. He was clearly part of the game plan for the Eagles, and should remain the same for next season. Agholor had a slow start to his […]

Alshon Jeffery Catches Three Passes in the Super Bowl

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Alshon Jeffery caught three passes on eight targets in the Super Bowl, gaining 73 yards and scoring a touchdown. Jeffery's touchdown was an impressive jump ball in the end zone. He started the season off very slowly, but came on strong in the second half of the year and ended up […]

Corey Clement Delivers Huge Plays in the Super Bowl

Philadelphia Eagles rookie running back Corey Clement ran the ball three times for eight yards in the Super Bowl, adding four catches for 100 yards and a touchdown. Clement had three enormous plays through the air, including a touchdown that the NFL might have considered overturning. Clement was an undrafted rookie, but he showed plenty […]

LeGarrette Blount Has an Excellent Revenge Game in the Super Bowl

Philadelphia Eagles running back LeGarrette Blount had an excellent performance in the Super Bowl on Sunday. Blount's #revengegame featured 14 carries for 90 yards and a touchdown. He had an amazing 36-yard burst on an option play and a 21-yard touchdown. Playing against his former team, Blount played one of his better games as an […]

Jay Ajayi Makes the Most of Limited Touches in the Super Bowl

Philadelphia Eagles running back Jay Ajayi ran the ball nine times for 57 yards in the Super Bowl. Ajayi had a 26-yard run in the second quarter, but was out-touched by a very effective LeGarrette Blount. Ajayi showed the ability to be a bell cow back, but couch Doug Pederson likes using a rotation in […]

Nick Foles Wins Super Bowl 52 MVP

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Nick Foles won Super Bowl 52 MVP on Sunday, leading his team to a victory over the New England Patriots. Foles completed 28-of-43 passes for 373 yards, three touchdowns, and one interception. Foles also caught a touchdown on a perfectly-called play that worked much better than the version the Patriots tried. Foles […]

2018 Early Bullpen Outlooks - American League Central

The American League Central comes second in our series of 2018 Early Bullpen Outlooks. Check out the first of the series, on the American League East, right here. The AL Central doesn't have bullpens with anywhere near the firepower of the AL East, but there are still some solid arms that can contribute to fantasy […]

La'el Collins Restructures His Contract With Cowboys

Dallas Cowboys offensive tackle La'el Collins had $150,000 of his 2018 salary converted into a signing bonus. He will receive that money immediately, but the team will be able to spread the cap hit evenly across the next two seasons. The move gives the Cowboys a little bit of help with the salary cap. Collins […]

Alex Reyes Enters 2018 Without a Set Role

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Alex Reyes is already in Jupiter, Fla., getting a head start on spring training. The young right-hander is recovering from last year's Tommy John Surgery, and the team has set May 1 as a goal for having him back on the mound. What they have not yet set, though, is […]

Eagles Fully Healthy Heading Into Super Bowl Weekend

The Philadelphia Eagles are fully healthy heading into the weekend of the Super Bowl. Defensive tackle Timmy Jernigan was back on the practice field on Friday after missing the previous two days due to an illness that had been going around the team. Several players missed practice earlier in the week or practiced but did […]

Torrey Smith Not a Safe Bet to Repeat His Last Performance

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Torrey Smith had a nice game the last time the Eagles played, totaling 69 yards. Most of that was on a 41-yard flea-flicker play, and Smith has only amassed 61 yards total in every other Nick Foles start combined. He's a boom-or-bust player without the huge boom upside to be worth […]

Nelson Agholor Faces a Good Matchup in the Super Bowl

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Nelson Agholor has been trending downwards lately, but he has the best matchup of any Eagles pass catcher on Sunday for Super Bowl 52. Agholor was targeted 16 times in the first two games that Nick Foles started, but has since only been targeted 10 times, catching nine passes for 94 […]

Alshon Jeffery Will Face Yet Another Strong Cornerback in the Super Bowl

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Alshon Jeffery was no stranger to elite cornerback play this season, and he'll get to deal with it yet again in the Super Bowl this Sunday. Jeffery will face off against Patriots cornerback Stephon Gilmore for most of Sunday's snaps. While Jeffery did not record a single 100-yard game this season […]

Zach Ertz Faces a Tough Matchup In Super Bowl

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz faces a tough matchup in the New England Patriots defense this Sunday in the Super Bowl. He is still Zach Ertz, though, and that always makes for a good option at tight end. The Patriots defense only allowed four tight ends to reach 50 yards this season, with 68 […]

Corey Clement Could Have a Sneakily Good Game in the Super Bowl

Philadelphia Eagles rookie running back Corey Clement could be a darkhorse for some nice production in the Super Bowl on Sunday. Clement has carved out a role as the team's third-down and passing-play back. If the Eagles were to fall behind early on Sunday, they would undoubtedly go all out in trying to get back […]

LeGarrette Blount Will Play a Specific Role in the Super Bowl

Philadelphia Eagles running back LeGarrette Blount will be playing a very specific role in the Super Bowl on Sunday. Since the emergence of Jay Ajayi as the feature back, Blount has taken on a goal-line/short-yardage role. He's very much set in that role, though, as Ajayi has only rushed once inside the five-yard line since […]

Jay Ajayi a Good Choice at Running Back in the Super Bowl

Philadelphia Eagles running back Jay Ajayi is a strong choice at the running back position for Super Bowl 52 against the New England Patriots. The Eagles offense has relied heavily on Ajayi in the playoffs, and there's no reason to think that will change. Barring injury or a game that quickly gets away from the […]

Nick Foles Looking Like a Serviceable Quarterback Option in the Super Bowl

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Nick Foles will certainly be the second best quarterback playing in the Super Bowl, but he should be a serviceable option this Sunday. Foles has had two huge games and two mediocre games since taking over for the injured Carson Wentz (knee). Foles threw seven touchdowns in 71 pass attempts in the two […]

Michael Martinez Undergoes Surgery to Repair a Ruptured Achilles Tendon

Cleveland Indians utility player Michael Martinez underwent surgery this week to repair a ruptured Achilles tendon. He was performing agility exercises in his native Dominican Republic when he was injured. Rehabilitation for a ruptured Achilles usually takes at least six months, so Martinez's entire 2018 season is in jeopardy right now. He had signed a […]

Several Eagles Starters Dealing With Illnesses

Several Philadelphia Eagles players are dealing with illnesses with only a few days to go before the Super Bowl. Defensive tackle Tim Jernigan and cornerback Ronald Darby both missed Thursday's media availability. Linebacker Mychal Kendricks said, "I'm getting over it right now. It's like a cold, dude. I don't know. The whole team has it, […]

2018 Early Bullpen Outlooks - American League East

Baseball season is almost back, but before that comes fantasy baseball draft season. In this series of articles to be published over the next several weeks, we will look into the bullpens of all 30 teams, taking a look at closers, setup men, and other bullpen arms in the process. Some teams have roles already […]

Preston Claiborne Signs Minor League Deal With Indians

Right-handed pitcher Preston Claiborne has signed a minor league contract with the Cleveland Indians, which includes an invitation to spring training. Claiborne appeared in just one game last season at the major league level, but he pitched well in Triple-A. In 38 Triple-A appearances, he put up a sparkling 1.89 ERA. The 30-year-old will be […]
