Mecole Hardman (WR, KC) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 8

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 24% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The Chiefs have a bye next week, so Hardman can't help you immediately, but we can't ignore a player who scored three touchdowns this week, even if two of them came on run plays, something that's pretty fluky. Hardman's found the end zone […]

New York Jets rookie running back Breece Hall was in the midst of a breakout after consecutive games with over 100 scrimmage yards. But in Week 7, Hall had just four carries before exiting with a knee injury. He was on the way to having a huge game, as he already had 72 rushing yards […]

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling bounced back from last week's catch-less game with his best yardage total of the season, catching three passes for 111 yards in Sunday's win over the 49ers. MVS came to KC to provide quarterback Patrick Mahomes with a deep threat to help replace Tyreek Hill, but defenses had […]

JuJu Smith-Schuster Has Big Game Against 49ers

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster had his first 100-yard game and first touchdown as a Chief against the Bills last week.

Clyde Edwards-Helaire Finds End Zone In Week 7

Kansas City Chiefs running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire found the end zone in Sunday's win over the 49ers, his first touchdown since Week 4.

Isiah Pacheco Leads Chiefs In Rushing Attempts

Brandin Cooks Quiet Again In Week 7

Houston Texans wide receiver Brandin Cooks posted another disappointing stat line in Sunday's loss to the Raiders, as he was targeted a season-low five times, catching four of them for 46 yards. In this low-upside offense, Cooks' fantasy value was predicated on him being a target hog, but he hasn't seen double-digit targets since Week […]

Dare Ogunbowale Leads Texans In Targets

Houston Texans running back Dare Ogunbowale led the team in targets in Sunday's 38-20 loss to the Raiders, as quarterback Davis Mills looked his way seven times. He caught five of those for 54 yards.

Jordan Akins Leads Texans In Receiving Yards

Houston Texans tight end Jordan Akins caught three passes for a team-high 68 yards in Sunday's loss to the Las Vegas Raiders. It was the first time this season that Akins has finished with more than 33 receiving yards and the second time he had more than two receptions. While it's good to see Akins […]

Dameon Pierce Controls Backfield Once Again

Davis Mills Has First 300-Yard Game Of The Season

Houston Texans quarterback Davis Mills had his best statistical game of the season in Sunday's loss to the Raiders, going 28-for-41 with 302 yards and two touchdowns.

Chiefs Defense Has Fantasy Question Marks For Week 7

The Kansas City Chiefs defense is in a weird spot heading into Sunday's contest against the 49ers, largely because the status of new 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey is uncertain. The Chiefs rank 25th in scoring defense, so adding a player like McCaffrey to the 49ers offense probably pushes the Chiefs defense out of playable […]

Harrison Butker A Strong Kicking Option In Week 7

Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker returned in Week 6 from his ankle injury and went 2-for-3 on field goals and 2-for-2 on extra points. He might not get as many opportunities to kick this week against a strong 49ers defense, but he should get enough chances to be considered a starting fantasy kicker for […]

Marquez Valdes-Scantling A Risky Fantasy Option Against Niners

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling is coming off of his worst game of the season last week, as he failed to bring in any of his three targets. The former Packer has still yet to find the end zone since joining KC, and he's had just one game with more than four receptions. […]
