Greg Zuerlein Misses Three Kicks In Week 1

Dallas Cowboys kicker Greg Zuerlein got eight chances to kick the ball in Week 1 and made just five of those kicks. Zuerlein was 3-of-5 on field goal tries and 2-of-3 on extra point attempts. Zuerlein made field goals from 35, 21, and 48 yards out and missed tries from 31 and 60 yards away. […]

Blake Jarwin Makes Three Catches In Week 1

Dallas Cowboys tight end Blake Jarwin made three catches on four targets in a Week 1 loss to the Tampa Bay Bucs, gaining 20 yards. It was Jarwin's first real game action since he was lost for the season with a torn ACL during last season's Week 1. Jarwin looked healthy, but played behind fellow […]

Michael Gallup Starts The Season With Four Catches In Week 1

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Michael Gallup played as the clear third wide receiver option in a Week 1 loss to the Tampa Bay Bucs. Gallup was targeted seven times, making four catches for 36 scoreless yards. Fellow wide receivers Amari Cooper and CeeDee Lamb were targeted 16 and 15 times, respectively. Gallup always has big […]

Dalton Schultz Catches Six Passes In Week 1

Dallas Cowboys tight end Dalton Schultz caught all six balls thrown his way in a Week 1 loss to the Tampa Bay Bucs. His six catches were good for 45 scoreless yards. Schultz was the starting tight end for almost all of the 2020 season after projected starter Blake Jarwin was lost for the season […]

CeeDee Lamb Off To A Good Start After Week 1

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb got off to a good start despite a loss in Week 1 against the Tampa Bay Bucs. Lamb was targeted 15 times, just one behind Amari Cooper's team-leading 16. Lamb caught seven of those passes, gaining 104 yards and scoring a touchdown. His score came on a 22-yard pass […]

Amari Cooper Starts The Season With A Huge Game

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Amari Cooper got the season started with a huge offensive performance in Week 1 against the Tampa Bay Bucs. Cooper was the clear centerpiece of the passing game. He was targeted 16 times, catching 13 passes for 139 yards and two touchdowns. His first score came on a five-yard catch, his […]

Tony Pollard Gets Six Touches In Week 1

Dallas Cowboys running back Tony Pollard received six touches in a Week 1 loss to the Tampa Bay Bucs. Clearly playing behind starter Ezekiel Elliott and operating only as a change-of-pace back, Pollard ran the ball twice, gaining just three yards and adding four catches on four targets for 29 more yards. Pollard is an […]

Ezekiel Elliott Gets Off To A Slow Start In Week 1

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott got off to a slow start in a Week 1 loss to the Tampa Bay Bucs. Facing a tough run defense (second best against opposing running backs last season), Elliott ran the ball 11 times, gaining just 33 scoreless yards. He also made two catches on two targets, picking […]

Dak Prescott Throws For Over 400 Yards In Week 1

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott had an excellent Week 1 performance against the defending champion Tampa Bay Bucs. Despite ultimately ending in a loss, Prescott was simply incredible and showed no signs of the injury that slowed him down and forced him to miss all of the preseason. Dak completed 42 of his 58 pass […]

Dylan Floro Collects A Save On Thursday

Miami Marlins relief pitcher Dylan Floro picked up his ninth save of the season in Thursday's win over the New York Mets. Floro pitched a scoreless ninth inning, recording two strikeouts to lock down the 3-2 win for the Fish. He isn't a particularly great pitcher, but he's in a situation that makes him worth […]

Jesus Luzardo Pitches Well Again On Thursday

Miami Marlins rookie starting pitcher Jesus Luzardo continued his solid run of late with another solid start on Thursday against the New York Mets. Luzardo pitched 5 2/3 innings, allowing two runs on two hits and four walks while striking out eight. The rookie lefty threw 97 pitches, 58 strikes. He started his Marlins career […]

Giovanny Gallegos Earns Another Save On Wednesday

St. Louis Cardinals relief pitcher and apparent new closer Giovanny Gallegos earned his fifth save of the season in Wednesday's 5-4 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers. Gallegos inherited two runners, allowing one to score but recording the last two outs of the game before the Dodgers could tie things up. It's the fifth save […]

Adam Wainwright Pitches Into The Ninth Inning Again

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Adam Wainwright worked into the ninth inning again in Wednesday's start. He coughed up two runs in the ninth and wasn't able to finish the game, also losing the quality start in the process. In total, he tossed 8 1/3 innings against a powerful Dodgers lineup, allowing four runs on […]

Sandy Alcantara Tosses A Gem On Wednesday

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Sandy Alcantara was outstanding in a start against the New York Mets on Wednesday. The Marlins ace pitched nine innings, allowing just one run (a solo homer) on four hits and a walk while striking out 14. The Marlins ultimately won the game in the 10th inning, but Alcantara had to […]

Miguel Rojas Back In The Lineup On Wednesday

Miami Marlins shortstop Miguel Rojas (neck, shoulder) is back in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the New York Mets. Rojas missed a couple of days with left trapezius soreness, but it was never a serious concern, and he should be back at full strength. He'll hit in the leadoff spot and pick up where […]

Jesus Aguilar Lands On The Injured List

Miami Marlins first baseman Jesus Aguilar (knee) was placed on the 10-day injured list due to inflammation in his left knee. Aguilar was not in the lineup for Tuesday's game, but it seems a day of rest did not do nearly enough, as now he'll get to rest for over a week. Aguilar has been […]

Eagles Defense Not A Good Week 1 Choice

The Philadelphia Eagles defense is not a good Week 1 choice in most fantasy lineups. The Eagles largely struggled on the defensive side of the ball in 2020, and there's plenty of reason to believe more of the same could be in store for the 2021 season. Their Week 1 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons […]

Jake Elliott Not A Good Option For Week 1 Lineups

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott does not make for a good kicking option in fantasy lineups for Week 1. Elliott was overall bad in 2020, attempting just 19 field goals and putting up the lowest conversion rate of his career on both field goals and extra points. Part of his bad season can be attributed […]

Zach Ertz Just A Depth Piece For Now

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz is not a strong starting option in fantasy lineups for Week 1 despite an excellent matchup against the Atlanta Falcons. The Falcons defense was 27th against opposing tight ends last season, but with more receiving options available on offense and Dallas Goedert clearly ahead of him on the depth […]

Dallas Goedert Starting The Season With An Excellent Matchup

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert gets to start the season with an excellent matchup against the Atlanta Falcons defense. The Falcons were just 27th against opposing tight ends last season, and Goedert is clearly the top tight end target in the Eagles offense this year. Zach Ertz is still around, but he'll take a […]

Greg Ward Could Start The Season In A Bench Role

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Greg Ward could start the season in a backup or special team role. Ward was the main slot receiver for the Eagles last year, but the emergence of Quez Watkins in training camp and preseason games may push Ward into the fourth spot on the Eagles wide receiver depth chart. Only […]

Quez Watkins Likely To Start In The Slot In Week 1

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Quez Watkins is likely to start in the slot in Week 1 and should have a shot to stay in that role as long as he plays well. Watkins didn't do much in his rookie season last year, catching just seven passes for a total of 106 yards across six games. […]

Jalen Reagor Has A Lot To Prove This Season

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Jalen Reagor has a lot to prove to justify where he was drafted in last year's draft. With a disappointing rookie season behind him despite being the de facto WR1 on the Eagles, Reagor will have more competition for targets on the offense, but may do better drawing "softer" defensive backs. […]

Alex Reyes Pitches In The Sixth Inning On Tuesday

St. Louis Cardinals relief pitcher Alex Reyes, formerly the team's closer, pitched in the sixth inning of a 4-2 deficit on Tuesday. Reyes started the season as the closer and locked down the ninth for the first few months of the season, but struggled mightily in August and was removed from the closer's role. Giovanny […]

J.A. Happ Takes Another Loss On Tuesday

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher J.A. Happ lasted five innings in his start against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Tuesday. Happ was decent, allowing four runs on seven hits in five innings. He did not issue a walk and struck out three. With the Cardinals only scoring two runs, Happ took his eighth loss of […]

Edward Cabrera Ineffectively Wild On Tuesday

Miami Marlins rookie starting pitcher Edward Cabrera simply could not throw strikes in Tuesday's start against the New York Mets. Cabrera lasted just 2 1/3 innings, allowing four runs on one hit and four walks while hitting two batters. The rookie threw 65 pitches, just 31 strikes. Both batters he hit came with the bases […]

DeVonta Smith Looking For A Quick Start In Week 1

Philadelphia Eagles rookie wide receiver DeVonta Smith has an excellent matchup in his first real NFL game. Smith and the Eagles take on the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday. Their defense can stop the running game very well, but they were easily exploited through the air last season. Smith is coming off one of the best […]

Kenneth Gainwell Could Have The Third Down Role

Philadelphia Eagles rookie running back Kenneth Gainwell could have a bigger role than expected as early as Week 1. Miles Sanders remains the starter and should see the most snaps in the Eagles backfield, but the coaching staff has made it clear that they don't plan to use Sanders as an every-down back. Gainwell was […]

Boston Scott May Have Fallen To Third On The Depth Chart

Philadelphia Eagles running back Boston Scott may have fallen to third on the running back depth chart and is likely no longer a fantasy option in most formats. Miles Sanders is the clear starter in the Eagles backfield, although the team has made it clear that they don't want to use him as an every-down […]

Miles Sanders Settled In As A Decent RB2 For Week 1

Philadelphia Eagles running back Miles Sanders has always has upside to spare, but the way the Eagles have used him and say they will continue to use him this season severely limits his upside. Combine that with a Week 1 matchup against a Falcons defense that was fourth against opposing running backs last season, and […]
