Streaming tight ends is simply a part of the game for many fantasy football managers. Aside from a very select handful of players, the position is rife with inconsistency and simply bad fantasy scoring. You can get an edge if you look to matchups to give you an idea of which players might be good […]

Welcome back to our NFL Pick'em Pool Picks for Week 7 of the 2026 NFL season. The midway point of the season will be here before you know it, which is crazy to think about! As we get into Week 7, we're able to determine which teams are the real deal and which ones can't […]

Quarterback is the highest-scoring position in fantasy football, yet it's also not terribly difficult to have success streaming the position. It's very difficult to predict which quarterbacks will finish in the top 10 at their position ahead of time due to a variety of factors. Looking at strength of schedule is a great way to […]

In a lot of my leagues, things have started to balance out. There are still top teams, but in the last two weeks, a lot of teams that started slowly picked up wins. There are a whole lot of 3-3 teams at the moment. That means that even if you got off to a slow […]

We have reached Week 7 of the 2026 NFL season, and the early-season noise has started to settle into something more reliable, which is exactly why spotting the boom-or-bust options matters more than it did a month ago. Six weeks of usage, target share, and actual game scripts give you a clearer picture of who […]

We have officially reached the midpoint of the 2026 fantasy football regular season, and the wide receiver market is growing thin. Bye weeks for four teams, along with injuries to key receivers across the league, will force fantasy managers to dig deep once again. Last week, we had some great Start Em’ predictions, with Jalen […]

Six slates are cemented into the timeline as we near the fantasy football regular season's halfway mark, so let's chop it up looking at Week 7 and beyond with our updated rest-of-season rankings sheet. The bye weeks are smacking us across the face, as are the injuries and underwhelming performances, which means folks are clinging […]

Week 7 of the NFL season brings another difficult set of lineup decisions, especially with four teams on bye and several offenses struggling to find consistency. This week, several matchups have particularly low projected point totals, including Browns-Titans (37.5), Dolphins-Jets (39.5), Colts-Vikings (41.5), and Chiefs-Seahawks (42.5). Those aren't exactly the games we want to target. […]

Hi again, RotoBallers. Hard to believe, but most NFL teams have already played through a third of their schedules. Now that Week 7 is upon us, it’s time for another look at Warning Signals that might save us from players who could spoil our upcoming fantasy football matchups. Warning Signals come in many forms and […]

Usage drives this Week 7 board. David Montgomery is out again, Ollie Gordon II returns from the Miami Dolphins' bye with rushing touchdowns in three consecutive games, and the Denver Broncos have given J.K. Dobbins 35 carries over their last two games. Volume can lie. Tony Pollard got a season-high 19 carries in Week 6 […]

We are only in October, but multiple key players' seasons have already ended. Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart and Dolphins running back De'Von Achane both suffered season-ending knee injuries in September. Sadly, Commanders receiver Terry McLaurin joined them on Monday with a torn patellar tendon. Many other players have sustained less significant injuries, though. Keep these […]

The 2026 NFL season rolls on to Week 7, so it's time to continue my weekly bold predictions column. This is where I'm trying to predict which players will hit their ceilings this week. I'll focus on players who you're likely on the fence with in start-and-sit decisions. Last week, I had only one good […]

The Sunday slate for Week 7 kicks off in a few hours, which means it's a  great time to drop some bold predictions. While these may seem unlikely, these players have prime matchups to greatly outperform their projections. In this roundtable edition of bold predictions, see what RotoBaller writers have to say about Kyler Murray, […]

The majority of fantasy football managers are likely very familiar with streaming kickers. It often makes the most sense to ignore the position entirely in fantasy drafts and focus on skill position players. It's usually better to draft defenses before kickers, too, because there are usually a handful of NFL defenses that stay elite for […]

Kyler Murray has thrown two touchdown passes this season. Colby Parkinson has nine catches. Both make this week's bold predictions because their recent usage gives me a reason to expect more. Murray ran 10 times in his last game before the Minnesota Vikings' bye, and Parkinson just caught his first touchdown as the Los Angeles […]

Hey RotoBallers! The main Week 7 slate is just around the corner, and it's almost time to set our final fantasy football lineups of the week.

Welcome RotoBallers! The "full" Week 7 slate is just around the corner, and it's almost time to make those tough start/sit decisions. The TE position is a bit shorthanded this week as the emerging Brenton Strange and Dalton Kincaid are off on bye, which may leave some managers without a solidified option. Below are our updated […]

Welcome RotoBallers! The remainder of the Week 7 slate is just around the corner, which means it's a perfect time to double-check our fantasy football lineups. With many top WRs like Emeka Egbuka and Mike Evans not playing, managers may be forced to dig deeper on their bench or the waiver wire to fill their […]

Hello RotoBallers! The full Week 7 slate kicks off in 24 hours, which means it's almost time to check our fantasy lineups. The running back position enters Week 7 with major question marks, as not only are top options like James Cook III and Bhayshul Tuten off on bye, and players like Jeremiyah Love and […]

Last week, we had another nice +233 win with the Bills and the Raiders, so let's keep that rolling this week! Some games are clear SGP targets, but that doesn't mean we need to stick to the chalk. We're looking for strong correlation and good betting odds. That can always come from some lower-scoring games.... […]
