Jamison Crowder Doubtful Against Bills

New York Jets wide receiver Jamison Crowder (groin) is doubtful for Sunday's divisional clash with the Bills. Crowder registered a DNP practice session on Thursday that was sandwiched by two limited sessions, giving him a glimmer of hope to play in Week 7. At this point, it's more likely that he's not out there to […]

Saints Defense A Starting Option In Week 7

The New Orleans Saints Defense faces a middle-of-the-pack matchup against the Carolina Panthers in Week 7. It's a date with former Saint Teddy Bridgewater, who started five games for the team in 2019. New Orleans' defense is finally starting to get healthy after a rash of injuries, as they will get Janoris Jenkins (shoulder) back […]

Wil Lutz Gets Favorable Matchup

New Orleans Saints kicker Wil Lutz faces a favorable matchup in Week 7 against the Carolina Panthers. Lutz is perfect on the season, having made all nine field-goals and all 18 extra-points. Carolina ranks 22nd in fantasy points allowed to kickers, making this a juicy matchup for Lutz. Expect strong fantasy numbers from the 26-year-old.

Jared Cook Could See More Opportunities

New Orleans Saints tight end Jared Cook could see more opportunities in Week 7 against the Panthers. Cook had one of his better games against the Chargers, catching two passes for 52 yards and a score. New Orleans is down two of it's best pass-catchers- Michael Thomas (ankle, hamstring) and Emmanuel Sanders (COVID-19)- heading into […]

Tre'Quan Smith Looking At Expanded Role

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Tre'Quan Smith faces a tricky matchup in Week 7 against the Panthers. However, matchup concerns are alleviated by the fact that New Orleans will be without Michael Thomas (ankle, hamstring) and Emmanuel Sanders (COVID-19). Smith will be busy against a Panthers Defense that has surrendered the fourth-fewest fantasy points per […]

Latavius Murray A Good Flex Play In Week 7

New Orleans Saints running back Latavius Murray has a favorable matchup in front of him against the Panthers in Week 7. Murray has had at least 13 touches in three of five contests this season, with two of those games coming against teams that struggle to stop the run. New Orleans will be without Michael […]

Alvin Kamara Poised For Monster Performance

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara gets an excellent matchup against the Panthers Defense. Kamara has offered fantasy managers the safest floor of any running back, particularly in PPR formats, as he's had at least 19 fantasy points in every game this season. He'll go up against a Panthers defense allowing the fourth-most fantasy […]

Drew Brees A High-End QB2 Against Carolina

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees faces the Panthers in Week 7. Brees will face a sneakily-good Carolina defense without his top two receivers, Michael Thomas (ankle, hamstring) and Emmanuel Sanders (COVID-19). Despite not having Thomas, Brees has thrown for at least 250 yards or two touchdowns in each game this season, giving fantasy managers […]

Falcons Defense Best Avoided In Week 7

The Atlanta Falcons Defense should not be on the fantasy football radar heading into a Week 7 matchup against the Detroit Lions. Detroit's offense hasn't been as strong as expected, though they haven't been a matchup to stream defenses against either. They rank 15th in fantasy points allowed to opposing defenses, but the expected point […]

Younghoe Koo An Elite Play In Week 7

Atlanta Falcons kicker Younghoe Koo is shaping up to have a strong game against the Lions in Week 7. Koo has made at least two field-goals and an extra-point in every contest this season, giving him a stable floor for fantasy. With the point total set at 55, Koo could be very busy against the […]

Hayden Hurst A Borderline TE1

Atlanta Falcons tight end Hayden Hurst faces the Lions in Week 7. Hurst is coming off of a four-catch, 57-yard performance with a touchdown against the Vikings. The former Raven seems to benefit from the presence of Julio Jones (hamstring), as he's averaged his highest yards per reception marks in the games where Jones has […]

Russell Gage A Sneaky Sleeper Against Detroit

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Russell Gage (shoulder) could be a sleeper in Week 7 against the Lions. He was a full participant all week, meaning he's good to go for Sunday. Consider Gage's numbers in the two full games that Julio Jones (hamstring) has played this year: 9-114-0 in Week 1 and 4-65-0 last week. […]

Calvin Ridley A WR1 Against The Lions

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley (elbow) is poised for another strong game in Week 7 against the Lions. Ridley has no injury designation after being limited all week, so he's good to go for Sunday's game. The 25-year-old ranks in the top-10 in targets, receptions, receiving yards and receiving touchdowns heading into a favorable […]

Julio Jones An Easy Start In Week 7

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones (hamstring) doesn't have an injury designation and will be suiting up against the Lions in Week 7. Jones has played in four games this year, though he's technically only been healthy in two of them. Here's what he's averaged in those two games: 11 targets, 8.5 receptions, 147 receiving […]

Todd Gurley II Gets Juicy Matchup In Week 7

Atlanta Falcons running back Todd Gurley II is in a good position to put up strong fantasy numbers against the Lions Defense in Week 7. Ironically enough, the former Ram saw his largest workload of the season in Week 6- 23 touches- but had his worst showing of the year, as game script forced the […]

Matt Ryan A Solid QB1 Play Against Lions

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan gets a favorable matchup in Week 7 against the Lions. Ryan clearly benefited from the return of Julio Jones (hamstring) last week, as he threw for 371 yards and four scores. While Jones and Calvin Ridley (elbow) were limited at practice, they are both expected to suit up on Sunday. […]

Buccaneers Defense Dominates The Packers

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers Defense put up a dominating performance in a 38-10 win over the Green Bay Packers. The unit harassed quarterback Aaron Rodgers throughout the game, hitting him 13 times- including five sacks- and recording two interceptions, one of which was returned for a touchdown. It was a championship-level performance from the unit, […]

Ryan Succop Connects On Five Extra-Points

Tampa Bay Buccaneers kicker Ryan Succop made one field-goal and all five extra-points in a 38-10 drubbing of the Packers. Succop wasn't needed much in terms of field-goal kicking, as the Buccaneers' offense made good on any opportunities- and the defense took care of the rest. The veteran kicker won't have as much upside as […]

Cameron Brate Held To One Catch

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cameron Brate was held in check by the Packers, despite his team's big victory. Brate caught just one ball for three yards in the 38-10 win. It looked like the veteran tight end was going to keep pushing Rob Gronkowski as the starting tight end, though he was clearly out-played […]

Rob Gronkowski Paces Team In Receiving Yards

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Rob Gronkowski put together another strong outing. Gronkowski caught five of a team-high eight targets for 78 receiving yards and a touchdown. His 12-yard score made it a 28-10 game at the half and Tampa Bay never looked back. That makes two straight games with at least 50 receiving yards, […]

Tyler Johnson Catches Touchdown Against Packers

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Tyler Johnson saw just one target in a win over the Packers. However, Johnson made it count, as he hauled it in for a seven-yard touchdown reception that helped to extend the Tampa Bay lead. Johnson won't be a big part of the offense most weeks, as he'll be competing […]

Chris Godwin Sees Seven Targets In Return

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin returned to the field against the Packers and saw seven targets, hauling in five of them for 48 receiving yards. Godwin was immediately a big part of the gameplan again, as head coach Bruce Arians alluded he would be earlier in the week. It was still a more […]

Mike Evans Blanketed By Packers

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans had a rough day against the Packers. Evans saw just two targets and caught one of them for 10 yards, as he struggled to break free of Jaire Alexander's coverage for parts of the game. It also didn't help that the game was largely in the Buccaneers' control […]

Ronald Jones II Picks Up 121 Scrimmage Yards, Two Scores

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ronald Jones II carried the ball 23 times for 113 yards and two scores along with two catches for eight receiving yards. Jones II exceeded 20 touches and 100 scrimmage yards for the third consecutive game, proving head coach Bruce Arians right as he continues to trust him. It should […]

Tom Brady Tosses Two Touchdown Passes

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady completed 17 of 27 passes for 166 yards and two touchdowns in a 38-10 victory over the Packers. Brady stepped up in the first half, as Green Bay jumped out to a 10-0 lead after one quarter of play. The veteran signal-caller was precise in the red zone, firing […]

Panthers Defense Has Quiet Day

The Carolina Panthers Defense didn't do much of anything in a 23-16 loss to the Chicago Bears. Carolina surrendered only 23 points, though they didn't register a sack. Their one interception was the only fantasy-relevant statistic they produced on the day. In reality, the defense has performed very well and is underrated. However, they simply […]

Joey Slye Makes Three Field-Goals And An Extra-Point

Carolina Panthers kicker Joey Slye stayed hot in a tight loss to the Chicago Bears. Slye made at least three field-goals for the second consecutive game and fourth time this season, including a 48-yarder. The 24-year-old has missed a few kicks here and there, but for the most part, he's been very solid for Carolina […]

Ian Thomas Registers Just One Catch

Carolina Panthers tight end Ian Thomas caught his only target for nine receiving yards. Thomas' line for the season- 6-39-1- looks like a line for one game. He just hasn't been involved in the offense enough with Robby Anderson and D.J. Moore gobbling up most of the targets. Fantasy managers should stay far away until […]

Robby Anderson Picks Up 77 Receiving Yards

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Robby Anderson saw just five targets but turned them into four grabs for 77 receiving yards in a 23-16 loss to the Bears. Anderson took a backseat to D.J. Moore, who saw a team-high 11 targets, though Anderson did have the tougher cornerback matchup to deal with. The 27-year-old had seen […]

D.J. Moore Posts 93 Receiving Yards Again

Carolina Panthers wide receiver D.J. Moore hauled in five of a team-high 11 targets for 93 receiving yards in a loss to the Bears. That's back-to-back games for Moore with 93 receiving yards, while the 11 targets were the second-most he's seen in game this season. It's possible that Moore is a turning a corner […]
