DeVonta Smith An Exciting Week 2 Option

Philadelphia Eagles rookie wide receiver DeVonta Smith is an exciting choice for fantasy lineups in Week 2. The Eagles will take on the San Francisco 49ers, who will have a much better defensive secondary than the Atlanta Falcons did in Week 1 when Smith debuted with six catches for 71 yards and a touchdown. He […]

Boston Scott No Longer Fantasy Relevant

Philadelphia Eagles running back Boston Scott is no longer fantasy relevant after the Eagles backfield usage was displayed in Week 1. Miles Sanders remained the starter and the lead back, but rookie Kenneth Gainwell served as a pass-catching and change-of-pace back. Scott was limited to a special teams role and did not even take the […]

Kenneth Gainwell Not A Starting Option Just Yet

Philadelphia Eagles rookie running back Kenneth Gainwell was surprisingly involved more than expected in Week 1 and should continue to carve out a role in the Philly backfield in Week 2. In his first NFL game, Gainwell saw 11 touches and scored a touchdown. While he clearly worked behind starter Miles Sanders, he also banished […]

Miles Sanders Has A Tougher Challenge In Week 2

Philadelphia Eagles running back Miles Sanders was solid in Week 1, but he will face a tougher defense and possibly a less favorable game script in Week 2. In Week 1, Sanders saw 19 touches, gaining 74 yards on 15 rushes and catching four passes for 39 yards through the air. While there were some […]

Jalen Hurts Faces A Tougher Challenge In Week 2

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts was outstanding in Week 1 but faces a tougher challenge in Week 2 against the San Francisco 49ers. Hurts was able to torch an awful Atlanta Falcons secondary for 264 yards and three touchdowns in Week 1, adding 62 yards with his legs as well. While he may not see […]

Cowboys Defense Not A Great Week 2 Option

The Dallas Cowboys defense is not a strong fantasy option for Week 2 lineups. Traveling to California to take on the Los Angeles Chargers, the Cowboys defense is currently ranked somewhere in the bottom five of fantasy units for Week 2. Although they certainly looked improved from last year in Week 1 and managed four […]

Greg Zuerlein Looks For A Better Week 2

Dallas Cowboys kicker Greg Zuerlein will look for better results in Week 2 when he and his team take on the Los Angeles Chargers. Zuerlein attempted eight kicks in Week 1, missing an extra point and two field goals. Because of the Dallas offense, Zuerlein should see plenty of kicking opportunities, but he seems limited […]

Jesus Aguilar Likely Done For The Year

Miami Marlins first baseman Jesus Aguilar (knee) is not expected to be able to return to the field this season. Aguilar was placed on the injured list last week, and it seems like he will simply run out of time and won't be able to return before the end of the season. The big first […]

Dalton Schultz Only An Option In Deep Leagues In Week 2

Dallas Cowboys tight end Dalton Schultz is only a fantasy starting option in very deep leagues and two-tight end formats. Schultz led the Cowboys tight ends in Week 1 with six targets, catching all six for 45 yards. Blake Jarwin figures to get more and more involved as he gets back up to speed after […]

Blake Jarwin A Depth Option For Week 2

Dallas Cowboys tight end Blake Jarwin is only an option in deep leagues and two-tight end leagues for a Week 2 matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers. Jarwin came back from his ACL tear last week after missing almost all of the 2020 season. In the Week 1 loss to the Tampa Bay Bucs, he […]

Cedrick Wilson An Option In Deeper Leagues In Week 2

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Cedrick Wilson could be a decent option in deeper league lineups for Week 2. Wilson will be taking the place of Michael Gallup (ankle) for at least the next few weeks. Gallup operated as the third wide receiver in Week 1, drawing seven targets before being forced to leave the game. […]

CeeDee Lamb Looks For Another Great Game In Week 2

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb will look to build on a strong Week 1 in a Week 2 road game against the Los Angeles Chargers. Lamb was great in the first game of the season, seeing 15 targets, catching seven of them for 104 yards and a touchdown. He'll face a much tougher secondary […]

Amari Cooper A Solid WR1 Starter In Week 2

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Amari Cooper is a solid WR1 option for Week 2 lineups. In Week 1, Cooper saw 16 targets, catching 13 of them for 139 and two touchdowns. He'll face a much tougher secondary in Week 2 against the Los Angeles Chargers, but the Cowboys have proven that they are not afraid […]

Tony Pollard Not A Starting Option In Week 2

Dallas Cowboys running back Tony Pollard is not a good starting option in Week 2 fantasy lineups. Pollard would shoot up into the RB2 ranks if starter Ezekiel Elliott were to miss time, but as things stand, he is little more than a change-of-pace option in the Dallas offense. In Week 1, Pollard received seven […]

Ezekiel Elliott Looks To Get Going In Week 2

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott will look to get things going in a Week 2 matchup with the Los Angeles Chargers. The Chargers defense was excellent in Week 1 while Elliott wasn't all that impressive against Tampa Bay. Still, Elliott figures to do better than his 11 carry, 33-yard opening night performance. Quarterback Dak […]

Dak Prescott Looking For A Strong Week 2 Performance

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott is a fantasy QB1 every time he takes the field, even in a tough Week 2 contest against the Los Angeles Chargers. The Chargers defense showed up in Week 1 and had the third best fantasy performance against an opposing quarterback. There's a slight caveat to that though, as they […]

Matt Carpenter Wants To Keep Playing In 2022

St. Louis Cardinals infielder Matt Carpenter said that he would like to continue his playing career into the 2022 season. The 35-year-old versatile infielder has struggled for several years now, putting up a disappointing .204/.325/.348 line since the start of the 2019 season. The Cardinals have an $18.5 million option on Carpenter for next year, […]

Sandy Alcantara Shines Again On Monday

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Sandy Alcantara was outstanding again on Monday in a 3-0 win against the Washington Nationals. The Marlins ace has been on an absolute tear lately, and that continued with a dominant eight inning performance on Monday. In those eight innings, Alcantara allowed just one hit and struck out seven without allowing […]

Anthony Bass Loses His Eighth Game On Sunday

Miami Marlins relief pitcher Anthony Bass took his eighth loss of the season in Sunday's game against the Atlanta Braves. He pitched one inning, allowing two solo home runs, lifting his ERA to 4.23. That's actually better than his FIP, which sits at 5.12 after this outing. Bass has been overall bad this season, but […]

Edward Cabrera Can't Finish Four Innings On Sunday

Miami Marlins rookie starting pitcher Edward Cabrera lasted just 3 2/3 innings in his Sunday start against the Atlanta Braves. Cabrera allowed two runs on three hits and three walks, striking out four. He needed 75 pitches (44 strikes) to get just 11 outs. It's been a rough start for the 23-year-old, who will take […]

Eagles Defense Allows Just Six Points In Week 1

The Philadelphia Eagles defense played very well in Week 1, leading the team to a 32-6 win over the Atlanta Falcons. Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan threw for just 164 scoreless yards and the Falcons had to settle for only two field goals on the day. The Eagles didn't record any takeaways, but they were still […]

Jake Elliott Makes All Four Of His Kicks In Week 1

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott made all four of his kicks in a Week 1 win against the Atlanta Falcons. Elliott only attempted one field goal, making it from 43 yards out. He made all three of his extra point tries as well. Elliott mostly struggled last season and doesn't have a strong enough leg […]

Quez Watkins Catches Three Passes In Week 1

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Quez Watkins caught three passes in a Week 1 win against the Atlanta Falcons. Watkins was targeted three times, catching all of them for 23 yards. He worked as the slot receiver, with Greg Ward not appearing in the box score at all. Watkins was hyped all of training camp and […]

Zach Ertz Only Targeted Twice In Week 1

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz was only targeted twice in a Week 1 win over the Atlanta Falcons. Ertz caught both passes, gaining 34 yards. He was clearly operating as the second tight end, behind starter Dallas Goedert, who scored a touchdown and drew six targets. Ertz looked decent on the field and could […]

Dallas Goedert Scores A Touchdown In Week 1

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert scored a touchdown in a Week 1 win over the Atlanta Falcons. Goedert was targeted five times, catching four passes for 42 yards and a score. Goedert was clearly working as the top tight end option in this one, as Zach Ertz was only thrown to twice. Goedert's touchdown […]

Jalen Reagor Scores A Week 1 Touchdown

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Jalen Reagor scored a touchdown in a Week 1 victory over the Atlanta Falcons. Reagor was targeted six times, catching all six for 49 yards and a score. His touchdown came on a 23-yard pass from fellow Jaden quarterback Jalen Hurts in the fourth quarter. It was a good start to […]

DeVonta Smith Scores His First NFL Touchdown

Philadelphia Eagles rookie wide receiver DeVonta Smith scored his first NFL touchdown in a Week 1 win over the Atlanta Falcons. Smith operated as the clear WR1 in his first NFL game, drawing a team-leading eight targets, catching six passes for 71 yards and a score. His touchdown came on an 18-yard pass from quarterback […]

Boston Scott Goes Missing In Week 1

Philadelphia Eagles running back Boston Scott went missing in a Week 1 win over the Atlanta Falcons. Scott was reportedly active, but did not see the field on offense. Starter Miles Sanders was on the field for 47 snaps and rookie Kenneth Gainwell for 25. Sanders and Gainwell both ran well, with the rookie scoring […]

Kenneth Gainwell Scores His First Touchdown In Week 1

Philadelphia Eagles rookie running back Kenneth Gainwell operated as the second running back for the Eagles win over the Atlanta Falcons in Week 1. The rookie ran the ball nine times for 37 yards and a touchdown and added two catches on three targets for six more yards. Heralded as an excellent pass catcher coming […]

Miles Sanders Has A Workmanlike Week 1

Philadelphia Eagles running back Miles Sanders did everything expected of him in a Week 1 win over the Atlanta Falcons. Sanders ran the ball 15 times, gaining 74 yards. He added four catches on five targets for 39 more yards through the air. Sanders led the backfield in touches, but rookie Kenneth Gainwell ran the […]
