Broncos Defense Off The Fantasy Radar Against Packers

The Denver Broncos defense/special teams unit is surprisingly tied for 14th in the NFL in overall points, and they just held the Kansas City Chiefs to only 19 points in their Week 6 loss. That's about where the positives end, though. Their overall fantasy point total has been inflated by defensive and special-teams touchdowns. They […]

Wil Lutz A Deep-League Streaming Option In Week 7

Denver Broncos kicker Wil Lutz has become a deep-league streaming option, at best, through the first six weeks of the 2023 season. The Green Bay Packers, Denver's Week 7 opponent, have allowed 22.6 points per game in five contests. They around the middle of the pack in terms of fantasy points allowed per game to […]

Adam Trautman Not Playable Despite Greg Dulcich's Injury

Denver Broncos tight end Adam Trautman will have more pass-catching opportunities in Week 7 against the Green Bay Packers with Greg Dulcich (hamstring) missing another game, but the 26-year-old should remain on your league's waiver wire. Trautman is the overall TE38 in half-PPR points this year (17.4). Dulcich already missed four games while on Injured […]

Marvin Mims Jr. A Desperation Deep-League Flex Play

Denver Broncos rookie wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr. has shown us in recent weeks just how ugly it can get if you toss him into your starting lineup. The 21-year-old big-play threat has just one catch for four yards in the last two weeks combined, and he wasn't even targeted in the Week 6 loss […]

Jerry Jeudy A Hard-To-Trust WR4/Flex

Denver Broncos wide receiver Jerry Jeudy isn't even in the top 50 at his position in terms of half-PPR points per game in 2023. The 24-year-old former first-rounder hasn't shown much chemistry with quarterback Russell Wilson and has 20 receptions for 222 yards (career-low 11.1 yards per reception) and no touchdowns on 29 targets through […]

Browns Sign Deon Jackson To Active Roster

The Cleveland Browns signed running back Deon Jackson to their 53-man active roster on Saturday and elevated linebacker Charlie Thomas III and quarterback P.J.

Detroit Lions wide receiver Marvin Jones Jr. (personal) is not traveling with the team to Baltimore to face the Ravens in Week 7 and has been ruled out for Sunday's game for personal reasons.

Chicago Bears defensive back Jaquan Brisker (groin) popped up on the Week 7 injury report on Friday with a limited practice and was listed as questionable to play on Sunday against the Las Vegas Raiders.

Patriots Offensive Line Beat Up Heading Into Week 7

The New England Patriots offense has been downright bad so far in 2023, and the health of their offensive line isn't making matters any better heading into a tough Week 7 matchup against the division-rival Buffalo Bills.

DK Metcalf Considered Game-Time Decision In Week 7

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll considers wide receiver DK Metcalf (hip, ribs) to be a game-time decision for Week 7 against the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday.

Diontae Johnson Officially Activated From Injured Reserve

The Pittsburgh Steelers officially activated wide receiver Diontae Johnson (hamstring) from Injured Reserve on Saturday and placed tight end Pat Freiermuth (hamstring) on IR in a corresponding move. This was a foregone conclusion when Johnson was able to practice in full all week. The 27-year-old will be making his return after injuring his hamstring in […]

Steelers Place Pat Freiermuth On Injured Reserve

The Pittsburgh Steelers placed tight end Pat Freiermuth (hamstring) on Injured Reserve on Saturday, which means he will now miss at least the next four games. In a corresponding move, the Steelers officially activated wide receiver Diontae Johnson (hamstring) from IR. Freiermuth was already expected to miss the Week 7 game against the Los Angeles […]

Courtland Sutton Looks To Continue Scoring Ways

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton has been a pleasant surprise in 2023, especially when considering his poor finish to 2022. He's developed strong chemistry with quarterback Russell Wilson, as he leads the team in targets (37), catches (25), receiving yards (275) and TDs (four) through six weeks. The 28-year-old had just one catch for […]

Jaleel McLaughlin Has Flex Appeal In Nice Week 7 Matchup

Denver Broncos undrafted rookie running back Jaleel McLaughlin has gone from being a name not many in the fantasy community knew at the start of the year to an intriguing RB3/flex play in a nice matchup in Week 7 against the Green Bay Packers. He's already essentially jumped Samaje Perine on the RB depth chart […]

Javonte Williams Looking For Statement Game Against Packers

We knew Denver Broncos running back Javonte Williams was going to be eased in early on this year after suffering a season-ending knee injury in Week 4 of 2022, but we still expected more production through six weeks of the 2023 season. In five games -- he missed Week 5 with a quad injury -- […]

Russell Wilson Looking To Bounce Back After Dreadful Performance

Denver Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson looked like a man at the end of his career in the Week 6 Thursday night loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. It was his worst game of the season by far, going 13-for-22 for just 95 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions. Hopefully a return home against a […]

Quay Walker, Jaire Alexander Questionable For Week 7

Green Bay Packers linebacker Quay Walker (knee) and cornerback Jaire Alexander (back) are both questionable to play in Week 7 against the Denver Broncos.

Ernest Jones Questionable For Week 7

Los Angeles Rams linebacker Ernest Jones (knee) is listed as questionable to play in Week 7 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Jones was held out of practice on Wednesday but was limited on Thursday and Friday. Jones is a notable name for fantasy managers that play in IDP leagues. The 23-year-old ranks 14th among all linebackers […]

Eagles Will Have Darius Slay, Jalen Carter Against Miami

Fantasy managers should probably be fading the Philadelphia Eagles defense/special teams unit in Week 7 as they face the highest-scoring offense in the NFL in the Miami Dolphins, but they will at least be getting both cornerback Darius Slay (knee) and rookie defensive tackle Jalen Carter (ankle) back after they missed the Week 6 loss […]

Los Angeles Chargers pass-rusher Joey Bosa (toe) practiced in full on Friday and was cleared from the final injury report for Week 7 against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Justin Fields To Avoid Thumb Surgery?

When asked if Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields (thumb) will need surgery on his right thumb, head coach Matt Eberflus said, "We are not on that path right now.

Deebo Samuel Misses Another Practice Friday

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel (shoulder) was not on the practice field in the portion open to the media on Friday. Samuel also didn't practice on Thursday, so he only has one more day to get back on the field before the team releases their final injury report for Week 7. As of […]

Christian McCaffrey Doing Work On The Side Friday

San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey (oblique) was doing work off to the side with the team's training staff during practice on Friday. McCaffrey was held out of Thursday's practice and could go down with his second straight DNP, which isn't great for his chances of suiting up on Monday night against the Minnesota […]
