Jerick McKinnon A Low-End RB2 In Week 7

San Francisco 49ers running back Jerick McKinnon has flourished in the two games that Raheem Mostert (knee) has missed this year and that trend should continue with Mostert sidelined in Week 7. McKinnon was the team's starting running back in Week 3 and Week 4 and saw 38 touches over the two games, which led […]

Jimmy Garoppolo A Risky Week 7 Start

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott made his only extra-point try and made one of his two field-goal attempts in the Week 7 win over the Giants on Thursday night. Elliott made his kick from 31 yards out and then missed one from just 29 yards out. Elliott has turned into a mostly low-volume kicker this […]

J.J. Arcega-Whiteside Shows Up In The Week 7 Box Score

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver J.J. Arcega-Whiteside showed up in the Week 7 box score against the Giants on Thursday night, catching his lone target for an eight-yard gain. Arcega-Whiteside recovered a fumble and scored a touchdown last week, but overall he's been one of the most disappointing second-round picks in recent history. For the season, […]

James Bradberry Stars For Giants Defense

The New York Giants Defense had a strong game for fantasy managers despite costing the Giants late as Carson Wentz marched the Eagles down the field for the win. Star cornerback James Bradberry led the unit with a key interception in the end zone in the first half. New York added three sacks to put […]

Greg Ward Scores In Week 7

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Greg Ward scored a touchdown in Week 7, helping the Eagles to a win over the division-rival New York Giants. Ward caught a total of five passes, gaining 42 yards on six targets. His touchdown came on a short three-yard pass from quarterback Carson Wentz in the fourth quarter, putting the […]

John Hightower Makes One More Big Catch In Week 7

Philadelphia Eagles rookie wide receiver John Hightower only made one catch in Week 7, but he gained 59 yards on it and helped set up the Eagles for a comeback victory over the New York Giants. Hightower was targeted twice, both coming in the fourth quarter of the game. He looks like he's settling into […]

Sterling Shepard Returns With A Bang On Thursday Night

New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard returned from a turf-toe injury on Thursday night against the Eagles with six catches for 59 yards and a touchdown. Shepard hadn't played since Week 2, but he made his return to the lineup felt and added another weapon in the passing game. It surely helped the New […]

Travis Fulgham Catches Five Passes In Week 7

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Travis Fulgham remained very heavily involved in the Eagles offense in a Week 7 win. Fulgham was targeted a team-high 11 times, making five catches for 73 yards. It was the first week that Fulgham was on the active roster where he did not score a touchdown, but he continued to […]

Richard Rodgers Leads The Eagles In Receiving In Week 7

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Richard Rodgers led the Eagles in receiving in a Week 7 win over the New York Giants. Rodgers had the most catches, gained the most yards, and was targeted the second-most on the team. The only thing he didn't do was find the end zone. Rodgers caught six passes on eight […]

Corey Clement Only Has Three Touches In Week 7

Philadelphia Eagles running back Corey Clement only recorded three touches in a Week 7 win against the New York Giants. Clement was thought to possibly have a larger role with starter Miles Sanders (knee) out, but Boston Scott took over the Eagles backfield and Clement was nothing more than a change of pace. Clement ended […]

Darius Slayton Doesn't Do Much Versus Eagles

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton had a quiet night on Thursday as he was blanketed by Pro Bowl cornerback Darius Slay. Slayton caught just two passes for 23 yards as New York's leading receiver was targeted just four times by QB Daniel Jones. Slayton has had big games this season, but has also […]

Broncos Defense Should Be Avoided Against Chiefs

The Denver Broncos Defense had one of their best performances of the season in the 18-12 upset win over the Patriots in Week 6. But even after turning the ball over three times last weekend and holding New England to only 12 points, Denver's D still ranks only 20th in the league with 4.8 fantasy […]

Golden Tate Scores Touchdown On Otherwise Quiet Night

New York Giants wide receiver Golden Tate scored his first touchdown of the season and did nothing else on Thursday night in Philadelphia. Tate made a contested-catch which he took in for a 39-yard touchdown early in the game and was invisible from there as the veteran receiver didn't record another catch. Tate had just […]

Evan Engram Shows Signs Of Life

New York Giants tight end Evan Engram tied his season-high with six catches Thursday night that he turned into 46 yards. Engram added three rushing yards on two carries. The 46 yards are his second-highest total of the season and while he hasn't found the end zone, things are trending up for the fourth-year tight […]

Broncos Can't Rely On Brandon McManus' Leg Against Chiefs

Denver Broncos kicker Brandon McManus was the hero for both the Broncos and for fantasy managers that started him in the Week 6 win over the Patriots. He accounted for all of the team's 18 points on his six made kicks, including two from 50-plus yards out and two from 40-plus yards. McManus has one […]

Dion Lewis Rushes For 23 Yards On Thursday

New York Giants running back Dion Lewis handled three carries for 23 yards in a loss to the Eagles on Thursday. Despite starting running back Devonta Freeman (ankle) leaving after only three carries, Lewis was not a big part of the Giants' game plan as Wayne Gallman handled the bulk of the work in the […]

Albert Okwuegbunam May Fall Back Into Anonymity

Denver Broncos rookie tight end Albert Okwuegbunam was second on the team with six targets in his NFL debut in the Week 6 win over the Patriots, catching two passes for 45 yards. It was a nice showing for the large-bodied and speedy tight end in his first-ever NFL game. But with Noah Fant (ankle) […]

Wayne Gallman Takes Over After Devonta Freeman Injury

New York Giants running back Wayne Gallman came off the bench to have a productive game in a one-point loss to the Eagles on Thursday. Starting running back Devonta Freeman (ankle) exited with an injury after three carries and Gallman led the backfield from there. Gallman handled 10 carries for 34 yards and a touchdown […]

Daniel Jones Stumbles Into Fantasy Production On Thursday

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones had his best statistical performance of the season on Thursday night, but still came up short in a one-point loss to the Eagles. Jones was 20-for-30 passing for 187 yards and two touchdowns while also adding 92 rushing yards. While those were positives for the second-year QB, Jones had […]

Boston Scott Gains 46 Yards Two Ways In Week 7

Philadelphia Eagles running back Boston Scott played well in place of the injured Miles Sanders (knee) in a Week 7 win over the New York Giants. Scott ran the ball 12 times for 46 yards and also caught three passes for another 46 yards and a touchdown. Scott was targeted five times in the passing […]

Carson Wentz Has His Best Game In A While In Week 7

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz had his best game in a long time in a Week 7 comeback win over the division-rival New York Giants. Wentz led a fourth-quarter game-winning drive and in total completed 25 of his 43 passes for 359 yards, two touchdowns and one interception. He also ran the ball seven times […]

DeSean Jackson Helped Off The Field Thursday Night

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson (leg) had to be helped off the field late in the fourth quarter of the Thursday night game against the Giants after suffering an apparent leg injury on a punt return. Jackson just has not been able to stay healthy the last two years with Philadelphia. He was finally […]
