Giovanny Gallegos Saves Another One On Friday
St. Louis Cardinals closer Giovanny Gallegos earned his 12th save of the season in Game 1 of Friday's doubleheader against the Chicago Cubs. Gallegos leads all of baseball with 10 saves in the month of September, and he's certainly locked down the ninth inning role in the St. Louis bullpen. With Alex Reyes still walking […]

Alex Reyes Gives Up Four Runs But Wins
St. Louis Cardinals relief pitcher Alex Reyes pitched poorly in Game 1 of Friday's doubleheader, but ended up with a win anyway. Reyes pitched 1 2/3 innings, allowing four runs on two hits and two walks, striking out three and allowing a home run. It was vintage Reyes, who threw only 18 of his 33 […]

J.A. Happ Throws Four Scoreless, Wild Innings On Friday
St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher J.A. Happ made it through four scoreless innings in Game 1 of Friday's doubleheader against the Chicago Cubs. In his four innings, Happ allowed no runs and only two hits, but walked four and struck out six. The veteran lefty threw 74 pitches, just 43 for strikes. Given that it […]

Pablo Lopez Ready To Return
Miami Marlins starting pitcher Pablo Lopez (shoulder) had a successful two-inning rehab appearance on Thursday and is now ready to join the big league team. Lopez will throw a bullpen session, then the team will take things from there. Lopez is very unlikely to get anything like a full start, but the team may try […]

Closers and Saves Report - Week 26 Waiver Wire
We're almost done folks! Teams have about 10 games left in real baseball, and fantasy teams in most leagues are wrapping up playoffs. Beginning of the season, middle of the season, or end of the season though: bullpens are still bullpens. Not a ton of huge news this week, but a couple of injuries shifted […]

Adam Wainwright Struggles On Thursday
St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Adam Wainwright had a rare bad start in Thursday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers. The Cardinals eventually ended up winning their 12th game in a row, but Wainwright lasted just four innings, allowing five runs on four hits and two walks. He only struck out one and allowed two home […]

Cowboys Defense Could Be Decent In Week 3
The Dallas Cowboys defense could be a solid choice in some Week 3 lineups. Facing off against an Eagles offense that struggled to move the ball in Week 2, the Cowboys could be set up for a nice defensive performance. They held the Chargers to just 17 points while recording two sacks and two interceptions […]

Greg Zuerlein Looks For A More Consistent Week 3
Dallas Cowboys kicker Greg Zuerlein had a bad Week 1 but followed it up with a strong performance in Week 2. The Cowboys added a kicker to their practice squad this week though, perhaps putting pressure on their starter to kick like he did against the Chargers and not like he did against the Bucs. […]

Dalton Schultz Not A Good Week 3 Tight End Option
Dallas Cowboys tight end Dalton Schultz is not a strong starting option in Week 3 lineups. Schultz and Blake Jarwin have been sharing the field while the Cowboys run their offense through their running backs and wide receivers, leaving little for the tight ends outside of blocking and some short gains over the middle. Through […]

Blake Jarwin Not A Good Starting Option In Week 3
Dallas Cowboys tight end Blake Jarwin is not a strong starting option despite a projected high-scoring game in Week 3. The Cowboys offense has run through the running backs and wide receivers, with the tight ends just around to block and occasionally move the chains. Through the first two weeks, there have been no big […]

Eagles Defense Has A Tough Week 3 Challenge
The Philadelphia Eagles defense has a tough matchup in Week 3 and is not a recommended starting fantasy option in most formats. The Eagles will travel to Dallas to face off against the Cowboys on Monday Night Football in Week 3. Through the first two weeks of the season, the Eagles have allowed just 23 […]

Jake Elliott Not Exciting For Week 3 Lineups
Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott is not an exciting option for Week 3 fantasy lineups. Elliott has made two of his three field goal tries and all three of his extra points this season, but he doesn't have a big enough leg to make long kicks and the Eagles offense generally just doesn't seem to […]

Dallas Goedert Has Many Signs Pointing To A Solid Week 3
Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert has many signs pointing him toward a strong performance in Week 3. The Eagles will travel to Dallas to take on the Cowboys on Monday Night Football in what could be a high-scoring game. Goedert has clearly operated as the main pass-catching tight end on the Eagles offense this […]

Cedrick Wilson Could Be More Involved In Week 3
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Cedrick Wilson could end up more involved in Week 3. Taking the place of an injured Michael Gallup (ankle) in Week 2's starting lineup, Wilson saw just two targets, catching them both for a total of 20 yards. The Cowboys leaned heavily on the running game against the Chargers defense and […]

Amari Cooper Looking For A Bounce-Back In Week 3
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Amari Cooper put up a dud in Week 2 and will look to right the ship in an easier matchup in Week 3. Cooper caught just three passes for 24 yards against a tough Chargers pass defense in Week 2. Week 3 should prove to be a little easier, as the […]

CeeDee Lamb Should See Plenty Of Targets Again In Week 3
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb has been peppered with targets throughout the first two weeks of the season, and that should continue into Week 3. The Cowboys will take on the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 3's edition of Monday Night Football. Lamb has been targeted 24 times in two weeks and has 15 catches […]

Quez Watkins Unlikely To Repeat His Huge Week 2
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Quez Watkins had an excellent Week 2 but is unlikely to keep that rolling into Week 3. Week 2 saw the Eagles slot receiver gain 117 yards on just two catches, one of which was a 91-yard play that he somehow did not score on. Watkins has seen only five targets […]

Jalen Reagor Set For A Better Week 3
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Jalen Reagor is set to improve on his Week 2 performance in a Week 3 matchup on Monday Night Football against the Dallas Cowboys. Reagor only picked up five yards total in Week 2, catching two of the five targets sent his way. He scored a long touchdown, but it was […]

DeVonta Smith Should Be Better In Week 3
Philadelphia Eagles rookie wide receiver DeVonta Smith had a rough Week 2 but could bounce back quickly with a solid Week 3 performance. In Week 2, Smith led the Eagles in targets (seven) but only caught two passes for a total of 16 yards. His usage was the key thing to look at though, as […]

Tony Pollard Hopes To Keep It Up In Week 3
Dallas Cowboys running back Tony Pollard had an outstanding Week 2 and will look to keep it going in a Week 3 Monday Night Football matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles. In Week 1, the Cowboys went pass-heavy and Pollard saw just seven touches. In Week 2's run-heavy game plan though, Pollard saw 16 touches and […]

Ezekiel Elliott Looks To Reestablish Himself In Week 3
Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott will look to reestablish himself as the team's lead back in a Week 3 Monday Night Football matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles. Elliott was pedestrian at best in Week 1 and then played much better in Week 2, but shared the load with (and was pretty clearly outplayed by) […]

Kenneth Gainwell Looks To Keep It Up In Week 3
Philadelphia Eagles rookie running back Kenneth Gainwell will get his first taste of the Eagles-Cowboys rivalry and of Monday Night Football at the same time in Week 3. Gainwell has been the only running back besides Miles Sanders to get any touches through the first two weeks of this season. He's turned 15 rushing attempts […]

Miles Sanders A Decent Starting Option In Week 3
Philadelphia Eagles running back Miles Sanders makes for a decent starting option in Week 3 lineups. The Eagles will take on the division-rival Dallas Cowboys in Week 3's Monday Night Football game, where Sanders will be a solid RB2. He's run the ball 28 times for 129 yards and added five catches for 43 more […]

Dak Prescott Looks To Rebound In Week 3
Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott will look to rebound in Week 3 against the division-rival Philadelphia Eagles. Prescott was outstanding in Week 1 before being mostly shut down by the Chargers defense in Week 2. The Eagles defense is allowing the third fewest points to opposing quarterbacks through two weeks of play, but they haven't […]

Jalen Hurts A Good Week 3 Starter
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts is a solid choice in Week 3 starting lineups. In what should be a high-scoring game against the rival Dallas Cowboys, Hurts should be able to put up plenty of fantasy points. He's averaging just over 25 fantasy points per week through the first two weeks of this season, and […]

Sandy Alcantara Earns Another Quality Start On Sunday
Miami Marlins starting pitcher Sandy Alcantara pitched well again on Sunday, earning a quality start against the Pittsburgh Pirates. The Marlins ace pitched six innings, allowing two runs (one earned) on six hits and a walk while striking out four. It wasn't the huge-strikeout type of game that Alcantara has been having lately, but it […]

Cowboys Defense Performs Decently In Week 2
The Dallas Cowboys defense performed surprisingly well in a Week 2 win over the Los Angeles Chargers. The Dallas defensive unit allowed 17 points while recording two sacks and two interceptions. That was good for an even four fantasy points in standard scoring formats, better than their projection in what ended up being a low-scoring, […]

Eagles Defense Doesn't Do Much In Week 2
The Philadelphia Eagles defense did not do much in a Week 2 loss against the San Francisco 49ers. The Eagles allowed 17 points without recording a single sack or a turnover, resulting in one single fantasy point in standard scoring formats. Given the struggles of the Eagles offense in this one, the defense ended up […]

Greg Zuerlein Has A Perfect Week 2
Dallas Cowboys kicker Greg Zuerlein was perfect in Week 2, including a last-second game-winning kick against the Los Angeles Chargers. Zuerlein made all four of his kicks, nailing two extra points and two field goals. His first field goal came from 34 yards out at the end of the third quarter, and his second was […]
