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 […]

Is Breece Hall Out For The Season? Should I Pickup Michael Carter Off the Waiver Wire?

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 tight end Travis Kelce came up just two yards shy of finishing with 100 yards on National Tight Ends Day, catching six of his eight targets for 98 yards. This was only the second time this season that Kelce didn't have either 100 yards or a touchdown, though he almost had both, […]

Mecole Hardman Has Three Touchdowns In Week 7

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Mecole Hardman found the end zone three times in Sunday's win over the 49ers, with three of those coming in the run game. Hardman finished with two carries for 28 yards and the score aforementioned touchdowns, plus he caught all four of his targets for 32 yards and another score. […]

Marquez Valdes-Scantling Has First 100-Yard Game Of 2022

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. This week, he followed that up by doing both things again, catching seven passes for 124 yards and a score in a 44-23 win over the 49ers. Smith-Schuster took a bit to […]

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. But Edwards-Helaire also set a new season low in carries with just six of them, finishing with 32 yards, his second-worst mark of the year. News broke early on Sunday that the […]

Isiah Pacheco Leads Chiefs In Rushing Attempts

Kansas City Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco was expected to take over as the team's No. 1 running back in Week 7 against the 49ers. And he did, but not by a huge margin, as Pacheco had eight carries for 43 yards while Clyde Edwards-Helaire had six for 32 yards and a touchdown. He wasn't […]

Patrick Mahomes Throws For Over 400 Yards In Week 7

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes shrugged off concerns about a bad matchup and decimated the 49ers defense in Sunday's 44-23 win over San Francisco. The former MVP was 25-for-34 for 423 yards in the win, throwing three touchdowns and one interception. He didn't record a rushing attempt. Mahomes hit on multiple deep throws in […]

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. Considering Ogunbowale had only one offensive snap all season before Sunday; the smart bet is to assume this was a […]

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

Houston Texans rookie running back Dameon Pierce continued to dominate the team's backfield touches in Sunday's loss to the Raiders, as he recorded 20 of the team's 23 rushing attempts. Pierce ended the day with 92 rushing yards, plus added four receptions for 25 yards. At this point, Pierce has one of the most secure […]

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. He did, however, throw a pick-six in the fourth quarter that ended Houston's hopes of coming back for the win. Mills has really struggled at times this year, […]

The NASCAR Cup Series heads to Homestead on Sunday for the second race of the Round of 8. Last week at Vegas, Joey Logano won his way into the Championship 4. Now, seven more drivers will vie to join him there. Will a playoff driver win, or will we see another non-playoff driver win, which […]

The NASCAR Truck Series season is in its final stretch. Eight drivers remain in the hunt to win the title: Chandler Smith, Zane Smith, Ben Rhodes, Christian Eckes, Stewart Friesen, John Hunter Nemechek, Ty Majeski and Grant Enfinger. Last time out at Talladega, Matt DiBenedetto drove to victory, which means that only one driver, Ty […]

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. […]

Mecole Hardman A Risky Week 7 Play

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Mecole Hardman will be tough for fantasy managers to trust heading into Sunday's Week 7 contest against the San Francisco 49ers. Hardman found the end zone last week against the Bills, but he's also had two games with under 10 yards this season. He'll have some more good weeks in […]

JuJu Smith-Schuster A WR3 Play For Week 7

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster is coming off his best game as a Chief in Week 6 against the Bills, catching his first touchdown of the season and finishing with 113 yards. It will be tough for Smith-Schuster to repeat that against the 49ers this week though, as they've boasted one of the […]

Clyde Edwards-Helaire Has Tough Week 7 Matchup

Kansas City Chiefs running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire has taken a major drop in fantasy production over the last two weeks, posting consecutive games with single-digit fantasy points after looking like a borderline RB1 over the first four games. Edwards-Helaire will try to get back on track this week, but it's likely going to be tough […]

Travis Kelce An Elite Fantasy Option For Week 7

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce has either 100 yards or a touchdown in all but one game this season and has been one of two tight ends to consistently post top five numbers this season. Heading into Week 7's game against the 49ers, Kelce should be considered a matchup-proof top play. He has […]

Patrick Mahomes A Must-Start Despite Bad Matchup

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes should be in your fantasy lineup every week, but there is a slight reason to be concerned this week when the Chiefs take on the 49ers. The 49ers allow the sixth-fewest fantasy points per game to opposing quarterbacks, in part because they're one of three teams to give up […]
