Taylor Gabriel Disappoints With 35 Yards

Chicago Bears wide receiver Taylor Gabriel caught only three passes for 35 yards in the Bears loss in Week 7 to the Patriots.

Frank Gore Disappoints In Week 7 Loss

Miami Dolphins running back Frank Gore was disappointing and unproductive in Miami's 32-21 loss to Detroit in Week 7. He rushed 10 times for 29 yards and caught one pass for four yards. Gore looked poised to take the lead in a committee with Kenyan Drake after Gore's Week 6 101-yard performance, but he was […]

Kirk Cousins Tosses Two Touchdowns In Week 7

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins completed 25 of 40 passes for 241 yards and two touchdowns during a 37-17 win over the New York Jets. Cousins was not at his best in this game, but he made enough big plays to turn in a solid fantasy stat line. The 30-year-old now has 2162 yards with […]

Tarik Cohen Posts 83 Total Yards, One Touchdown

Chicago Bears running back Tarik Cohen caught eight passes for 69 yards with 14 rushing yards and one touchdown in the Bears 38-31 loss to the Patriots.

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Stefon Diggs hauled in eight receptions while only mustering 33 yards during a 37-17 win over the New York Jets.

Trey Burton Explodes For 126 Yards, One Touchdown

Chicago Bears tight end Trey Burton led all Bears with nine catches for 126 yards and one touchdown as the Bears fell short to the Patriots 38-31.

Matthew Stafford Productive Against Dolphins

Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford led the Lions to a 32-21 victory over Miami on Sunday. He finished 18 of 22 for 217 yards and two touchdowns.

Jordan Wilkins Runs Well In Week 7

Indianapolis Colts rookie running back Jordan Wilkins was effective in Week 7, but he remains nothing more than a stash in deep leagues. He finished the day with six carries for 46 yards, which is an impressive 7.7 yard-per-carry average. Wilkins is the team's best pure runner, but he lacks the explosiveness of Nyheim Hines […]

Kwon Alexander May Have Suffered Season-Ending Injury

Tampa Bay Buccaneers linebacker Kwon Alexander (knee) may have suffered a torn ACL in Week 7 against the Browns, according to sources. He will undergo an MRI exam on Monday to confirm the injury.

Nyheim Hines Quiet In Week 7 Win

Indianapolis Colts running back Nyheim Hines has had a good season to this point. However, the team's big win against the Buffalo Bills in Week 7 showed that he is the clear number two behind second-year back Marlon Mack. Mack had 21 touches compared to Hines' six. Hines finished the day with five carries for […]

Marlon Mack Is Elite In Week 7

Indianapolis Colts running back Marlon Mack has shown flashes through two seasons, but he had never been consistent or healthy enough to put it all together.

Adrian Peterson Will Play Against Cowboys

Washington Redskins running back Adrian Peterson (ankle, shoulder) is active for Week 7 against the Cowboys. Peterson has been battling nagging injuries for weeks but hasn't missed any time. With Chris Thompson out for the second straight week, Peterson will remain a high-volume RB2 for fantasy owners. Expect Kapri Bibbs to serve as the change-of-pace […]

Chris Thompson, Paul Richardson Inactive In Week 7

Washington Redskins running back Chris Thompson (knee, rib) and wide receiver Paul Richardson (knee, shoulder) are both inactive for Week 7 against the Cowboys. It'll be Thompson's second straight absence despite getting in some practice time. As a result, Adrian Peterson is a safer volume-based RB2. Expect Kapri Bibbs to be the change-of-pace back Sunday. […]

Pierre Garcon, Trent Taylor Active Against Rams

San Francisco 49ers wide receivers Pierre Garcon (knee, shoulder) and Trent Taylor (back) are both active in Week 7 against the Rams. Both were questionable coming into this one.

Bilal Powell Won't Return In Week 7

New York Jets running back Bilal Powell (neck) left the game early in Week 7 against the Vikings and will not return. Powell ran the ball five times for 20 yards and caught one pass for five yards before exiting. With Powell out the rest of the way, Isaiah Crowell should see most of the […]

Blake Bortles Benched In Week 7

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles has been benched in Week 7 against the Texans in favor of Cody Kessler. Bortles was just 6-for-12 for 61 yards and two lost fumbles before being benched. He's had two terrible games in a row and will now give way to Kessler. Even if Bortles gets the start in […]

Erik Swoope Injured Against Bills

Indianapolis Colts tight end Erik Swoope (knee) left the game early in Week 7 against the Bills and is questionable to return. Swoope caught his only target for a 17-yard touchdown before leaving this game, so he rewarded fantasy owners that were desperate enough to start him. Eric Ebron will remain the main pass-catching tight […]

Keke Coutee Injures Hamstring Sunday

Houston Texans rookie wide receiver Keke Coutee (hamstring) aggravated his hamstring injury in Week 7 against the Jaguars and is questionable to return. Coutee caught just one of his three targets for three yards before leaving with his injury. The impressive rookie has a lot of upside, but he's a shaky WR4/flex behind DeAndre Hopkins […]

Albert Wilson Questionable To Return With Leg Injury

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Albert Wilson (leg) is questionable to return after exiting Miami's Week 7 game against the Lions. Descriptions of the injury have been rather vague, with reporters hinting it might be a knee injury. Wilson had three catches for 32 yards before leaving. If he is forced to miss time Danny Amendola […]

New England Patriots rookie running back Sony Michel (ankle, leg) was carted to the locker room in Week 7 against the Bears.

LeSean McCoy Ruled Out After Head Injury

Buffalo Bills running back LeSean McCoy (head) has been ruled out of Week 7 against the Colts after suffering a head injury on the team's first drive of the game.

LeSean McCoy Being Evaluated For Head Injury

Updating a previous report, Buffalo Bills running back LeSean McCoy (head) left the game in the first quarter in Week 7 against the Colts and is being evaluated for a head injury.
