Alfred Morris Not Usable In Fantasy

After playing one snap and registering zero touches in Week 6, San Francisco 49ers running back Alfred Morris is fading towards fantasy irrelevance. In his absence, running backs Matt Breida (ankle, shoulder) and Raheem Mostert jumpstarted the Niners rushing attack to 174 yards. Morris is averaging a meager 3.7 YPC and while head coach Kyle […]

Aqib Talib Out A While Longer

The Los Angeles Rams are set to be without All-Pro cornerback Aqib Talib (ankle) a while longer. Unfortunately for them, their slate doesn't get very easy after facing the San Francisco 49ers and quarterback C.J. Beathard this week. Following this week, they go up against quarterbacks Aaron Rodgers, Drew Brees, Russell Wilson and Patrick Mahomes […]

Nyheim Hines Hoping For A High-Scoring Game In Week 7

Indianapolis Colts running back Nyheim Hines' value is tied almost exclusively to his pass-catching ability. Unfortunately for him, the Colts have an easier matchup this week that should see an uptick in workload for veteran Marlon Mack. While it's possible for the Colts defense to struggle and allow the Buffalo Bills to score a lot, […]

Marlon Mack Has Flex Appeal In Week 7

Indianapolis Colts running back Marlon Mack had a strong return in Week 6, and he should see a similarly strong performance in Week 7. Despite facing a Buffalo Bills defense that is a top-10 group against the run, Mack should see more carries due to what could be an easy win for the Colts. Mack […]

Marquise Goodwin's Upside Back In Play

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Marquise Goodwin’s fantasy stock skyrocketed in Week 6 after he amassed 126 yards, including touchdowns of 67 and 30 yards. Goodwin’s explosiveness seemingly convinced quarterback C.J. Beathard to stray from his dink and dunk ways. The tandem will try to carry the momentum to Week 7 against the Los Angeles […]

Jeff Heuerman Seeing Targets, Not Results

Many a gym-goer have experienced the frustration of putting in a ton of work without seeing any immediate results in the mirror. Should you fall in that boat, Denver Broncos tight end Jeff Heuerman feels your pain. Heuerman has seen 17 targets over the Broncos last three games (tied with Demaryius Thomas for the second-most […]

Raheem Mostert's Usage Something To Monitor

San Francisco 49ers running back Raheem Mostert was the team’s biggest surprise in Week 6, racing for 87 yards on 12 carries. After experiencing fumbling issues throughout his career, Mostert earned the trust of head coach Kyle Shanahan by working on ball security. He was rewarded with 40% of offensive snaps, rendering veteran Alfred Morris […]

Matt Breida Reliable Despite Health Risks

San Francisco 49ers running back Matt Breida (ankle, shoulder) isn’t fully healthy but has suited up for all six games in 2018. Breida’s proven his toughness and also been effective, leading the NFL in yards per carry (6.8). The Niners take on the Los Angeles Rams in Week 7, who surrender just 99.0 rush yards per […]

Demaryius Thomas Looks to Extend His TD Streak

Denver Broncos wide receiver Demaryius Thomas ranks 46th among WRs at 55 receiving yards per game. Unsurprisingly, all three of his double-digit fantasy point performances this season (standard scoring) have come in games where he was able to showcase his dancing ability. Thomas has found the end zone in two-straight games, and while I'd normally […]

Emmanuel Sanders' Floor is the Ceiling

Michael Jordan once told us that "The ceiling is the roof!" Well, the floor might be the ceiling this week for Denver Broncos wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders. Sanders has seen seven or more targets in five of six games -- catching at least five passes in all five -- so it's safe to assume he'll […]

Phillip Lindsay Cracks Top 20

Having put up at least 75 yards from scrimmage in four of his six games this season, Denver Broncos running back Phillip Lindsay quietly ranks among the top-20 RBs in terms of scrimmage yards per game (including the ejection-shortened Week 3). Meanwhile, the Cardinals have allowed opposing RBs to pick up 138.8 rushing yards per […]

Royce Freeman a Solid Bet to Find the End Zone

Denver Broncos running back Royce Freeman has been held out of the end zone in two straight games, but a matchup with the Arizona Cardinals could be just what he needs to bring the scoring drought to an end. No team has allowed more rushing touchdowns to opposing running backs than the eight allowed by […]

Luke Willson Isn't An Option In Week 7

Detroit Lions tight end Luke Willson is the starter in name only. He did not garner a target in Week 5 against the Packers and only has seven targets on the season, which leads all Lions tight ends. He's been able to corral four of those looks for 29 yards, but hasn't found the end […]

Case Keenum Draws Unfavorable Road Matchup

The boos were audible Sunday, but sometimes you have to take the good with the bad. Unfortunately, the bad for Denver Broncos quarterback Case Keenum is that his back-to-back 300-plus yard, two touchdown passing performances have been overshadowed by Denver's four-game losing streak. It also doesn't help that this offense is averaging the seventh-fewest points […]

TJ Jones Has No Appeal In Week 7

Detroit Lions wide receiver TJ Jones has played just 20 combined snaps in his last two games and has not been targeted once. Jones is an afterthought in the offense with receivers like Golden Tate, Kenny Golladay, and Marvin Jones in the mix. Especially in a tough matchup with the Dolphins, leave the Lions fourth […]

Marvin Jones Is A Risky Play On Sunday

Detroit Lions wide receiver Marvin Jones saved his owners in Week 5 when he hauled in an eight-yard touchdown, his only reception against the Packers. As each game is played, it seems as though Kenny Golladay has supplanted Jones as the big-play threat for the Lions. With just 16 receptions for 231 yards, Jones has […]

Kenny Golladay Has Tough Matchup In Week 7

Detroit Lions wide receiver Kenny Golladay has vaulted himself into the fantasy limelight with a strong start to the season, posting 27 catches for 428 yards and three scores through five games. However, Golladay is welcomed out of the bye week with a likely matchup of Xavien Howard. Despite the tough matchup, the second-year receiver […]

Golden Tate Looks To Continue Solid Season Against Dolphins

Detroit Lions wide receiver Golden Tate leads the team in targets (51), receptions (33), and receiving yards (431), while also tying for the team lead with three touchdowns. Tate goes into a Week 7 matchup with the Dolphins on pace to set a career high in receptions and yards. Drawing a matchup with rookie Minkah […]

Ryan Tannehill Unable To Throw

Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill (shoulder) was limited in practice on Wednesday. He worked on his footwork and handed the ball off with his right arm, but he didn't throw. "Anything that has to do with pocket movement, footwork, things like that, he can do everything," head coach Gase said Wednesday. "He just can't throw." […]

Greg Zuerlein Ready To Return This Week

Los Angeles Rams kicker Greg Zuerlein (groin) was a full participant in practice on Wednesday. Greg the Leg has been out since injuring his groin on Sept. 16, but he's primed to return in Week 7 against the 49ers after the team cut Cairo Santos (the fill-in) on Tuesday. Zuerlein has one of the strongest […]

Josh Reynolds Limited In Practice

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Josh Reynolds (hand) was limited in practice on Wednesday. It's a new injury for Reynolds, but it shouldn't keep him out of Week 7 against the 49ers. With Cooper Kupp (knee) likely missing multiple games, Reynolds should enter the fray in three-receiver sets this weekend. It'll make him a flex […]

Julian Edelman Lands On Injury Report

New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman (heel) is on the injury report this week and was limited in practice on Wednesday. The Pats usually list most of their playmakers on the injury report, but they usually play. Edelman didn't appear to be injured on Sunday night, so he should be fine for his third […]

Dante Pettis, Trent Taylor Limited In Practice

San Francisco 49ers wide receivers Dante Pettis (knee) and Trent Taylor (back) were both limited in practice on Wednesday, suggesting that they could return in Week 7 against the Rams. Pettis hasn't played since Sept. 23, while Taylor was inactive on Monday night. Even if both players are able to return this Sunday, neither would be […]

Joe Flacco Working On Avoiding Tipped Passes

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco is uncharacteristically having a problem with deflected passes. According to ESPN Stats and Information, Flacco has had 11 passes knocked down, which is tied for the most in the league this season. The 11th-year pro has never finished higher than 16th in passes batted in a season. He is coming […]

Pierre Garcon Misses Practice Wednesday

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Pierre Garcon (knee, shoulder) did not take part in practice on Wednesday. Garcon played on Monday night despite being questionable, so the Niners are likely just resting the veteran on a short week. He caught four of his six targets for 37 yards in the loss to the Packers, and […]

Khalil Mack Sits Out Of Practice

Chicago Bears defensive end Khalil Mack (ankle) was not at practice on Wednesday after injuring his ankle in the overtime loss to the Dolphins in Week 6. It remains to be seen if this injury will actually keep Mack from playing, but if he's out, it'd obviously be a huge loss for a strong Bears […]

Allen Robinson Listed As Limited Wednesday

Chicago Bears wide receiver Allen Robinson (groin) was limited in practice on Wednesday. It's a new injury for the Bears top receiver, but it doesn't look serious enough to keep him out in Week 7's showdown against the Patriots. Robinson has caught touchdowns in back-to-back games and will have WR2 upside in a good matchup […]

Dalvin Cook Practicing In Full

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (hamstring) is practicing in full on Wednesday. It looks like Week 7 against the Jets will finally be the week that Cook returns after aggravating his hamstring in Week 4 on Thursday night. He's been a fantasy bust thus far, rushing 36 times for 98 scoreless yards (2.7 yards […]

Cameron Meredith Limited Coming Off Bye

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Cameron Meredith (knee) was a limited practice participant on Wednesday. The Saints continue to be cautious with Meredith's knee after he missed all of last season. His role continues to grow in the offense, as he's seen more targets and more snaps in all three of the games he's played […]

Carson Wentz Puts In Limited Practice

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz (back) was limited in practice on Wednesday. It's a new injury for Wentz, but we doubt it's serious enough to keep him from playing in Week 7 against the Panthers. He quietly has eight touchdowns and no interceptions all year despite playing behind a lackluster offensive line. Wentz remains in […]
