OwnersBox Quarterbacks

One-Week Drafts:

Kyler Murray (Arizona Cardinals) vs. SEA

Murray finished Week 6 with 30 points on OwnersBox, despite throwing for just 188 yards and completing just nine of 24 passes. That goes to show just how high his weekly upside is, thanks to his immense rushing ability. Murray draws an excellent Week 7 matchup against a Seattle pass defense that is allowing the second-most fantasy points per game to the QB position and ranks 29th in DVOA according to FootballOutsiders.

Also consider: Patrick Mahomes (Kansas City Chiefs) @DEN

Two-to-Four-Week Drafts:

Ben Roethlisberger (Pittsburgh Steelers) @TEN, @BAL, @DAL, vs. CIN

Shake off Big Ben's slow Week 6 outing as his team built an early lead over Cleveland and ran heavily in the second half. The Steelers will be more challenged in Week 7 by a Tennessee offense that is second in the league in points per game. Tennessee's pass defense has also been generous to enemy signal-callers, allowing the seventh-most fantasy points per game to the position. A Week 8 matchup against the rival Ravens doesn't look great at first, but keep in mind that Baltimore's pass defense is only middle of the road this season, as opposed to dominant per usual.

Week 9 brings a delicious matchup against a Dallas secondary that has been serving up QB1 performances all season long. Roethlisberger's final outing of this stretch comes against a Cincinnati pass defense that is 20th in fantasy points allowed to opposing QBs but also ranks 16th in pass-defense DVOA.

Also consider: Russell Wilson (Seattle Seahawks) @ARI, vs. SF, @BUF, @LAR

OwnersBox Running Backs

One-Week Drafts:

Aaron Jones (Green Bay Packers) @ HOU 

The Houston Texans are fresh off of allowing Derrick Henry to rip them for 40 OwnersBox points in Week 6. Look for Jones to enjoy similar success against the 28th-ranked run defense according to the DVOA metric. While he was quiet in a tough Week 6 matchup against the Buccaneers, Jones has three-touchdown upside whenever he takes the field.

Also consider: Alvin Kamara (New Orleans Saints) vs. CAR

UPDATE: Aaron Jones is expected to miss Week 7. Jamaal Williams and A.J. Dillon make for solid replacement options, as both are expected to see an increase role and share running back responsibilities.

Two-to-Four-Week Drafts:

Aaron Jones (Green Bay Packers) @HOU, vs. MIN, @SF, vs. JAX

Jones' Week 7 matchup is outlined above. He will then go on to face the Vikings in Week 8. Minnesota's defense is not what it was a few years ago and should provide little trouble for Jones. The 49ers in Week 9 are a tough spot for Jones but he remains involved enough through the air to trust in this game.

The Jaguars finish off the four-game series for Jones. Jacksonville's run defense ranks 22nd in the league in DVOA and is allowing the sixth-most fantasy points per game to the RB position.

Also consider: Christian McCaffery (Carolina Panthers) @NO, vs. ATL, @KC, vs. TB

Note: McCaffery is ruled out for Week 7 but he has a shot at returning to action in Week 8 against Atlanta. Drafting him is a risk but it is a risk that could pay off for you if he only misses this week.

OwnersBox Wide Receivers

One-Week Drafts:

DeAndre Hopkins (Arizona Cardinals) vs. SEA

Hopkins is still dealing with a nagging ankle injury but it is not expected to keep him out of this divisional clash. Seattle's secondary has been brutal this season, ranking 29th in pass-defense DVOA. They have served up big games to pretty much every receiver they have faced this season, including three two-touchdown games (Cedrick Wilson, Adam Thielen, Calvin Ridley) and seven 100-yard games. Giddy up!

Also consider: Kenny Golladay (Detroit Lions) @ATL

Two-to-Four-Week Drafts:

Davante Adams (Green Bay Packers) @HOU, vs. MIN, @SF, vs. JAX

Adams didn't pan out in a tough matchup against Tampa Bay in Week 6 but he's worth going back to for these next four games. Houston in Week 7 is ranked just 20th in pass-defense DVOA and has allowed big games to Tyreek Hill (five catches, 46 yards, one touchdown), Sammy Watkins (7/82/1), JuJu Smith-Schuster (4/43/1), Adam Thielen (8/114/1), Justin Jefferson (4/103/0), A.J. Brown (5/56/2), and Adam Humphries (6/64/1). The Vikings will be next up to try to slow down Adams. Minnesota is allowing the second-most fantasy points per game to the WR position, behind only the Seahawks.

The 49ers in Week 9 are not the dominant pass defense that they used to be (22nd in DVOA), although they are still effective at stopping the run (seventh). That should serve to funnel extra looks onto Adams' plate that weekend. He finishes up with a tasty matchup against Jacksonville and their pass defense, which ranks dead last in the league in DVOA.

Also consider: Stefon Diggs (Buffalo Bills) vs. NYJ, @NE, vs. SEA, @ARI

OwnersBox Tight Ends

One-Week Drafts:

Travis Kelce (Kansas City Chiefs) @DEN

With Mark Andrews on bye and George Kittle getting the New England "stop the opponent's top option" treatment, Kelce is far and away the overall TE1 in one-week drafts. He will face a defense that he has owned of late, having topped 100 receiving yards or scored a touchdown in six of his past seven games against the Broncos.

Also consider: George Kittle (San Francisco 49ers) @NE

Two-to-Four-Week Drafts:

Noah Fant (Denver Broncos) vs. KC, vs. LAC, @ATL, @LV

Fant is coming back from an ankle injury for Week 7 and will immediately slot back in as a top-three fantasy tight end this weekend against the Chiefs. He will then face off against the Chargers in Week 8. Defending the tight end is a weak spot for an overall solid Los Angeles defense this season.

The Falcons in Week 9 set up as a smash spot as they are allowing the second-most fantasy points per game to the TE position this year. That includes a two-touchdown game to Jimmy Graham and a three-touchdown explosion by Robert Tonyan. Fant will then head to Las Vegas to take on the Raiders in Week 10. Las Vegas has been solid against tight ends this year, allowing the 11th-fewest fantasy points per game to the position. That being said, the best two tight ends they have faced (Travis Kelce and Jared Cook) both found the end zone against them.

Also consider: Hunter Henry (Los Angeles Chargers) vs. JAX, @DEN, vs. LV, @MIA
