How Much Does Shadow Coverage Impact Wide Receivers?

If you only play redraft fantasy football, you know that no matter what you have to play your studs week in and week out. That is non-negotiable, and your lineup decisions mostly come down to who to play at lower-level spots such as WR3 or FLEX. If you play DFS contests, though, you know that […]

Eagles Defense Does Well In Week 8

The Philadelphia Eagles Defense played well as expected against a Ben DiNucci-led Dallas Cowboys team in Week 8. The Eagles Defense allowed just nine points (on three field goals) and added four sacks. While they did not come down with an interception, they did force and recover two fumbles, including one strip sack that turned […]

Jake Elliott Makes An Extra Point And Nothing Else

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott made his lone extra point attempt in a Week 8 win, and was not on the field for anything else.

John Hightower Comes Up Empty In Week 8

Philadelphia Eagles rookie wide receiver John Hightower came up empty on the stat sheet in Week 8, failing to record a catch on three targets.

Greg Ward Makes Three Catches In Week 8

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Greg Ward made three catches in a Week 8 win over the Dallas Cowboys, gaining 10 yards. He was targeted five times and also recorded a carry for two yards on the ground on a play that looked like he was getting ready to make a throw. Ward only made short […]

Dallas Goedert Makes One Catch In His Week 8 Return

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert, returning from an ankle injury, was only targeted once in a Week 8 win, catching the one target for a 15 yard gain. Goedert hadn't played since he was forced to leave early in Week 3, and he may not have been fully healthy in this one. He'll have […]

Schultz was second on the team in targets, catches, and yards, as rookie quarterback Ben DiNucci made short throws all night long.

Michael Gallup Leads The Cowboys In All Receiving Stats

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Michael Gallup led the Cowboys in all receiving stats in a Week 8 loss to the Eagles. Gallup saw a team-high 12 targets, catching seven for 61 yards.

Boston Scott Runs The Ball 15 Times In Week 8

Philadelphia Eagles running back Boston Scott ran the ball 15 times in a Week 8 win, gaining 70 yards. He was targeted twice in the passing game, adding two catches for another nine yards.

Tony Pollard Gets Nine Touches In Week 8 Loss

Dallas Cowboys running back Tony Pollard ran the ball seven times for 40 yards and added two catches on two targets for 24 yards. Pollard fell well behind starter Ezekiel Elliott's 21 touches, but came close to his 73 total yards. Pollard looked like the more effective running back in the box score, but the […]

With rookie Ben DiNucci […]

Mike Gesicki Hauls In One Reception

Miami Dolphins tight end Mike Gesicki continued his downward spiral against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 8. Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa struggled moving the ball on offense and it showed in the box score. Luckily, the Dolphins were able to get the win, so that's all they care about. Gesicki hauled in one of his […]

Carson Wentz Struggles His Way To A Week 8 Win

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz wasn't great in Week 8, but he was good enough to beat the Cowboys and fall backwards into first place in the NFC East. Wentz completed 15 of his 27 passes for 123 yards and two touchdowns. He threw two interceptions and lost two fumbles in an ugly four turnover […]

Preston Williams Targeted Five Times In Week 8

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Preston Williams has been inconsistent all season long and that continued versus the Los Angeles Rams in Week 8. Williams hauled in two of his five targets for 15 yards in the win. It was another dud for Williams, which is beginning to become a theme for him. To be fair, […]

Ben DiNucci Struggles As Expected In Week 8

DeVante Parker Posts Dud Against Rams

Miami Dolphins wide receiver DeVante Parker has posted back-to-back rough performances. In Week 8, Parker hauled in one of his two targets for a touchdown in the win over the Los Angeles Rams. Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa finished with 93 total passing yards, so it's tough to put all the blame on Parker here. Sadly, Parker […]

Matt Breida Is Becoming Unwatchable

Miami Dolphins running back Matt Breida was expected to have a significant role in this offense when he joined the organization over the offseason. However, Myles Gaskin has run away with the lead back role in Miami. Since then, Jordan Howard has been benched and Breida still can't hold value even as the only other […]

Myles Gaskin Finds The End Zone Versus Rams

Miami Dolphins running back Myles Gaskin continues to be a reliable contributor in both the running and passing game for this offense. He rushed 18 times for 47 yards and one touchdown in the Week 8 win over the Los Angeles Rams. He also hauled in three receptions for 16 yards through the air. The […]

Tua Tagovailoa Quiet In First Start

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa made his first career NFL start against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 8. It was quite surprising that Miami made a change under center after the veteran Ryan Fitzpatrick was playing well with the team. Regardless, Tagovailoa was able to lead his team to victory. Although, they didn't really […]

Chris Herndon Has Embarrassing Performance

New York Jets tight end Chris Herndon came into this game without a catch in each of his last two games. He finally hauled in a reception during the Week 8 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. Herndon saw two targets, but hauled in one for three yards in the loss. The sad part is […]

Jeff Smith Heavily Targeted Versus Chiefs

New York Jets wide receiver Jeff Smith was basically a non-factor in the Week 8 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. This offense was without Jamison Crowder (groin) and Breshad Perriman (head), so Smith saw plenty of targets. Sadly, he was only able to haul in three of his eight targets for 29 yards in […]

Braxton Berrios Targeted 11 Times In Loss

New York Jets wide receiver Braxton Berrios saw a season-high 11 targets during the Week 8 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. The Jets receivers are banged up, so Berrios was asked to step up here. He hauled in eight of his 11 targets for 34 yards in the loss. The yardage was nothing special, […]
