Zach Ertz Playing His Way Into Prominent Role
Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz didn't even seem like he'd be on the Eagles roster at several points before this season began. Not only is he on the roster, he's the overall fantasy TE6 for Weeks 3 and 4 combined. While Ertz started the season slowly (three catches for 40 yards in Weeks 1... Read More
Dallas Goedert Looks To Take Over Again In Week 5
Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert would be an every-week starter in all formats if he were the only tight end on the Eagles roster. Unfortunately for his fantasy managers though, Goedert has to split time with Zach Ertz. The veteran Ertz actually out-targeted and outplayed Goedert in Week 4, and has seen his role... Read More
Quez Watkins Developing A Fantasy Role
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Quez Watkins (knee) was limited in practice on Wednesday but is expected to be able to play on Sunday against the Carolina Panthers.

Jalen Reagor Still Waiting For That Breakout Game
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Jalen Reagor was hyped as a breakout candidate before this season began. Instead, four weeks into the season, Reagor is the overall WR70 in standard scoring. After a 14-point fantasy performance in Week 1, Reagor has combined for just 13 fantasy points in Weeks 2, 3, and 4. With the Carolina... Read More
DeVonta Smith Could Boom Or Bust In Week 5
Philadelphia Eagles rookie wide receiver DeVonta Smith is a boom-or-bust option in Week 5 fantasy lineups. Smith has a very high ceiling, which he almost reached in Week 4, but a concerningly low floor as well. Against a barely-there Chiefs secondary in Week 4, Smith caught seven passes for 122 yards and could have had... Read More
Kenneth Gainwell Keeps Gaining Value
Philadelphia Eagles rookie running back Kenneth Gainwell continues to gain fantasy value despite the absolute mess that is the Eagles offense.

Read More
Miles Sanders A Concerning Choice In Week 5 Lineups
Philadelphia Eagles running back Miles Sanders, drafted to be an RB1 by most fantasy managers this season, is a concerning option in any Week 5 starting lineup. Despite being one of the more talented backs in the league, Sanders had just 15 total touches in Weeks 3 and 4 combined. The Eagles play callers seem... Read More
Jalen Hurts In For Another QB1 Performance In Week 5
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts hasn't been the ideal NFL quarterback this season, but he's been more than what his fantasy managers could have expected.

Tommy Edman Gets Three Hits In The Wild Card Game

Alex Reyes Ends The Cardinals Season
St. Louis Cardinals relief pitcher Alex Reyes ended the Cardinals season in the National League Wild Card Game by giving up a two-run walk off home run to Chris Taylor in the bottom of the ninth.

Adam Wainwright Solid In The Wild Card Game
St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Adam Wainwright was solid in his National League Wild Card Game start against the Los Angeles Dodgers. He threw 5 1/3 innings, allowing just one run on four hits and two walks while striking out five. He seemed to get stronger as the night went along, and was allowed to... Read More

Dallas Goedert Scores A Touchdown In A Week 4 Loss

Kenneth Gainwell Plays Well In Week 4
