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.

Dalton Schultz Hauls In Two Passes In Week 2

Dallas Cowboys tight end Dalton Schultz was targeted twice in Week 2, catching both passes for a total of 18 yards. Nominal starting tight end Blake Jarwin did just a little better, catching three balls for 37 yards. Jarwin and Schultz are splitting tight end duties so far this season, which will severely limit the […]

Cedrick Wilson Makes Two Catches In Week 2

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Cedrick Wilson, filling in for an injured Michael Gallup (ankle), made two catches for 20 yards in a Week 2 win over the Los Angeles Chargers. Wilson was expected to be much more heavily involved in this one, but the Cowboys ended up relying on their ground game and not doing […]

Amari Cooper Shut Down In Week 2

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Amari Cooper was mostly shut down by a strong Los Angeles Chargers defense in Week 2. Cooper was targeted five times, catching three passes for 24 scoreless yards. While the Cowboys were playing well on the ground, they were never really able to get the passing game going. All of the […]

Blake Jarwin Secures Three Catches In Week 2

Dallas Cowboys tight end Blake Jarwin caught three passes in Week 2, gaining 37 yards. He was targeted four times, double the amount of Dalton Schultz's two. Schultz and Jarwin are essentially splitting opportunities on the Cowboys offense though, limiting the upside and floor of both tight ends. The Cowboys couldn't get much going through […]

CeeDee Lamb Paces The Cowboys In Receiving In Week 2

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb led the team in all receiving categories in Week 2. He was targeted nine times, catching eight passes for 81 yards. He also added a rushing attempt for 13 yards on the ground. In a game where the Los Angeles Chargers mostly kept the Dallas passing game at bay, […]

Ezekiel Elliott Takes A Back Seat In Week 2

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott played decently in Week 2, but he took a back seat to a more explosive and impressive back in Tony Pollard. Zeke still led the team in touches, running the ball 16 times for 71 yards and a score while adding two catches on his two targets for 26 […]

Tony Pollard Clearly The Best Dallas Back In Week 2

Dallas Cowboys running back Tony Pollard was clearly the best back in a Cowboys uniform in a Week 2 win over the Los Angeles Chargers. Pollard thoroughly outplayed nominal starter Ezekiel Elliot, falling behind in touches 16-to-18 but out-gaining him 109-to-71 on the ground and 31-to-26 through the air. The Cowboys unexpectedly employed a two-headed […]

Dak Prescott Held In Check In Week 2

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott was mostly held in check by the Los Angeles Chargers defense in Week 2. While Prescott certainly played well and made mostly good decisions on the field, his line was less than stellar, as he completed 23 of his 27 pass attempts for 237 yards, no touchdowns, and one interception. […]

Jake Elliott Makes Just One Field Goal In Week 2

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott only had two kicking attempts in Week 2 and made half of them, connecting on a 45-yard field goal. He didn't attempt an extra point and missed his other field-goal try, a 47-yard kick that was blocked. Elliott struggled for most of last season and plays on a team that […]

Zach Ertz Makes Just One Catch In Week 2

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz made only one catch in a Week 2 loss to the San Francisco 49ers, gaining just six yards. Ertz was targeted twice in a game where Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts completed only 12 passes. It was a poor performance by the entire Philly offense and especially by the passing […]

Jalen Reagor Totals Just Five Yards In Week 2

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Jalen Reagor only came up with five yards in a rough Week 2 performance against the San Francisco 49ers. Reagor was targeted twice and actually ended up tied for the team lead with two catches, but he only got the five yards total. In a game where quarterback Jalen Hurts completed […]

DeVonta Smith Only Catches Two Passes In Week 2

Philadelphia Eagles rookie wide receiver DeVonta Smith was targeted seven times in Week 2 but only made two catches, gaining just 16 yards. Smith led the team with his seven targets and actually ended up tied for the team lead with the two catches. It was a rough game for the Eagles offense in general, […]

Dallas Goedert Targeted Just Twice In Week 2 Loss

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert was targeted just twice in a Week 2 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. The entire Eagles passing game was rough against the 49ers defense, with Goedert's two catches actually leaving him tied for first on the team. With his two grabs, the tight end gained 24 yards, the […]

Quez Watkins Has A Huge Week 2 On Just Two Catches

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Quez Watkins only made two catches in Week 2, but he put up a huge fantasy day regardless with 117 yards. Watkins once again worked as the primary slot receiver for the Eagles, drawing just two targets in a game where the Eagles passing game just wasn't working. A second quarter […]

Boston Scott Missing From The Box Score In Week 2

Philadelphia Eagles running back Boston Scott was absent from the offense again in Week 2. Scott has now certainly lost his spot on offense to rookie Kenneth Gainwell, who received eight touches in a loss against the San Francisco 49ers. Scott has become a special teams player at this point, and will only have fantasy […]

Kenneth Gainwell Sees Eight Touches In Week 2

Philadelphia Eagles rookie running back Kenneth Gainwell was heavily involved again in a Week 2 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. Gainwell ran the ball six times, gaining 14 yards and adding two catches for 18 more yards on three targets. Gainwell was still behind lead back Miles Sanders, who got 14 touches, but the […]

Miles Sanders Limited To 55 Yards In Week 2

Philadelphia Eagles running back Miles Sanders was limited to just 55 yards on 13 carries in a Week 2 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. Sanders worked as the clear lead back again, out-touching rookie Kenneth Gainwell 14-to-8. Sanders also caught one pass for a four yard gain. In was a tough game for the […]

Jalen Hurts Saves His Fantasy Day With His Legs

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts didn't do much with his arm in Week 2, but saved his fantasy day with a decent rushing performance. Hurts completed just 12 passes on 23 attempts, for 190 scoreless yards. He was able to be a force on the ground though, running the ball 10 times for 82 yards […]

Adam Wainwright Works Around Traffic In Another Quality Start

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Adam Wainwright worked around some base runners to end up with another quality start. Pitching on Saturday against the San Diego Padres, Wainwright pitched six innings, allowing just two runs on seven hits. He did not issue a walk and struck out two. While it wasn't "Waino" at his best, […]

Edward Cabrera Gets Through Four Innings On Saturday

Miami Marlins rookie starting pitcher Edward Cabrera worked another short outing on Saturday against the Pittsburgh Pirates. In Cabrera's four innings, he allowed three runs (two earned) on six hits and three walks, striking out seven. It was good to see the rookie righty rack up some strikeouts, but he needed 79 pitches (48 strikes) […]

Closers and Saves Report - Week 25 Waiver Wire

We're almost there, Closers and Saves Report friends. Most fantasy leagues are either deep in the playoffs right now or, in rotisserie leagues, it's the home stretch. If you're still reading this, you're either still in contention for your league's championship (congrats!) or you just have really, really good taste in weekly fantasy baseball articles […]

Trevor Rogers Lasts Only Four Innings On Wednesday

Miami Marlins rookie starting pitcher Trevor Rogers only made it through four innings in Wednesday's start against the Washington Nationals. The Marlins ended up winning the game late, leaving Rogers with a no decision. In his four innings, he was able to limit damage, allowing just one run on seven hits and a walk while […]

Bryan De La Cruz Just Keeps Getting On Base

Miami Marlins rookie outfielder Bryan De La Cruz just keeps on getting on base and scoring runs. On Wednesday against the Washington Nationals, De La Cruz went 1-for-3 with two walks, three runs scored, and two RBI. His hit was a solo homer in the eighth inning, giving him five home runs and 17 RBI. […]

Jesus Sanchez Homers Twice On Wednesday

Miami Marlins rookie outfielder Jesus Sanchez hit two home runs in Wednesday's win over the Washington Nationals. Sanchez went 2-for-4 with four RBI and two runs scored. Both of his homers were two-run shots, with his second one serving as the game winner. Sanchez has been on fire lately, and he's up to an .804 […]

Eagles Defense Not A Great Option In Week 2

The Philadelphia Eagles defense is not a strong fantasy option for Week 2 despite their solid Week 1 performance. In their first game of the season, the Eagles defense only allowed six points to the Atlanta Falcons. They were able to sack Matt Ryan three times but did not record any turnovers. It seemed more […]

Jake Elliott An OK Option For Week 2 Lineups

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott is an OK but thoroughly unexciting kicking option for Week 2 lineups. Elliott made a field goal and three extra points in Week 1, and as long as the Eagles offense keeps clicking, he should see plenty of chances to put points on the board. He doesn't have a big […]

Zach Ertz Could Still Be Fantasy Relevant In Week 2

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz didn't do much in terms of production in Week 1, but there were some encouraging signs regardless. Ertz ran 23 receiving routes, only three fewer than starter Dallas Goedert. Granted, Goedert turned his routes into four catches and a touchdown while Ertz was only thrown to twice, but the […]

Dallas Goedert Looks To Separate In Week 2

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert was by far the most effective Eagles tight end in Week 1 despite a nearly even split of routes run with Zach Ertz. Goedert ran 26 receiving routes compared to Ertz's 23. Of course, Goedert was able to take five targets and turn them into four catches for 42 […]

Quez Watkins Not A Strong Week 2 Starter

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Quez Watkins is not a great option in Week 2 fantasy starting lineups. Watkins clearly operated as the team's slot receiver in Week 1, seeing three targets and catching all three for 23 yards. There were some designed plays for him in the first quarter, but then he more or less […]
