Kyle Rudolph Is Not Worth Considering In Week 7

Minnesota Vikings tight end Kyle Rudolph is not a player you need to force into lineups in Week 7. Rudolph caught 3-of-3 targets for 36 yards in his best game of 2019 in Week 6. He has just nine catches this year and his average target distance is 2.2 yards. He's still playing at least […]

Adam Thielen Is A Mid-Range WR2 Against Lions

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen has caught 13 of 16 targets for 187 yards and three touchdowns over the last two games (Giants and Eagles). Week 7's matchup is a bit less favorable, however, as the Lions have been stingy against outside wide receivers with top cornerbacks Darius Slay and Rashaan Melvin. However, Thielen […]

Dalvin Cook Primed For Huge Week 7

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook is in line for a monster game in Week 7 against the Detroit Lions. The Lions Defense has already given up seven rushing touchdowns and are allowing 5.1 yards per carry and 133.8 rushing yards per game. They've also allowed a running back to score at least 20 PPR […]

Kirk Cousins Is A High-End QB2 In Week 7

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins has provided an uptick in production the last two weeks, compiling 639 passing yards and a 6/1 TD/INT ratio in wins against the Giants and the Eagles. Cousins will look to keep it going against the Detroit Lions in Week 7 on the road in what should be a close […]

Amari Cooper Plans To Test His Leg Friday

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Amari Cooper (quadriceps) dealt with a quadriceps bruise as a rookie and was able to play the very next week. Cooper was unable to walk on Monday after suffering the injury in Week 6, but he was encouraged by his improvement on Wednesday. However, his improvement has plateaued. He thinks it's […]

Alvin Kamara, Jared Cook In Danger Of Missing Week 7

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (ankle, knee) and tight end Jared Cook (ankle) both missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday and could be in jeopardy of missing Week 7 against the Bears. They'll need to get in at least some limited practice on Friday. Kamara fought through his injuries last […]

Courtland Sutton A Strong Play In Week 7

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton has been the biggest breakout on the Broncos roster this year, as he is continuing to solidify his role as the team's top receiver as Emmanuel Sanders starts to age. Sutton has been a consistent option at a WR2/Flex spot for owners the past few weeks, and owners can […]

Zack Greinke Gets Second Shot At Yankees In Game 4

Houston Astros starter Zack Greinke will face the Yankees for the second time in the ALCS on Thursday. Greinke allowed two home runs, three runs total, in six innings as he earned a no-decision in Game 1. He is back on the mound in Game 4 at Yankee Stadium and the veteran has had excellent […]

Masahiro Tanaka Has 1.32 ERA Lifetime In Postseason

New York Yankees starter Masahiro Tanaka will try and stay hot in a must-win game for the Yankees in Game 4 against the Astros. Tanaka has been awesome through two postseason starts this season, allowing only one run on four hits in 11 innings pitched while striking out 11. The veteran pitcher continues his run […]

Noah Fant Not A Play Against Kansas City

Denver Broncos tight end Noah Fant has had a rocky start to his rookie season and has been shaky to trust with any fantasy production. The one thing that Fant has going for him is his high snap count, but even that took a dip last week as he only saw action on 65% of […]

Joe Flacco Has Little Value In Week 7

Denver Broncos quarterback Joe Flacco has had a rough start to his 2019 season with the Broncos and at this point is finding himself on very few fantasy rosters. While his matchup with Kansas City isn't all that daunting, Flacco needs to prove that he has the ability to put up points consistently before he […]

Aaron Hicks Back In Lineup Against Astros

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Hicks will start and hit third against the Astros and Zack Greinke in Game 4 of the ALCS. Hicks went 0-for-2 but coaxed two walks in Game 3 and is getting the start for the injured Giancarlo Stanton. Hicks posted a .479 slugging percentage against right-handed pitching during the regular […]

Royce Freeman Is A Viable PPR Flex Option In Week 7

Denver Broncos running back Royce Freeman continues to carve out a significant role in the Broncos passing offense as the season progresses. This allows him to hold flex value in a PPR setting, as he is seeing between four and five receptions a week out of the backfield. Expect much of the same against Kansas […]

Phillip Lindsay Faces Weak Chiefs Run Defense

Denver Broncos running back Phillip Lindsay is starting to build an impressive log of games to start the year and he looks to keep the ball rolling against one of the league's worst run defenses on Thursday night. The Chiefs have been abysmal against the run, which should make Lindsay owners salivate as he has […]

Giancarlo Stanton Not In Game 4 Lineup

New York Yankees outfielder Giancarlo Stanton (quadriceps) is not in the lineup as the team takes on the Astros in Game 4 of the ALCS. The burly slugger simply cannot stay healthy but the team is hoping he can contribute at some point in the series. Stanton went 2-for-4 with a home run in Game […]

Patriots Defense Has Prime Matchup

The New England Patriots Defense will head to New Jersey to take on the Jets in Week 7 on Monday Night Football. The Patriots are undefeated and the dominance of the defense has been the biggest narrative of their young season. This week they will face the Jets for a second time and their offense […]

Jakobi Meyers Could See Role Expanded In Week 7

New England Patriots wide receiver Jakobi Meyers could be looking at an increase in snaps in Week 7 against the Jets for Monday Night Football. The Patriots are banged up at receiver right now with Josh Gordon and Phillip Dorsett dealing with injuries. So it is next man up and Meyers could play a prominent […]

Packers Defense Could Offer Streaming Appeal

The Green Bay Packers Defense could be an effective streaming option against the Oakland Raiders this week. The Raiders were able to deny the Chicago Bears a single sack in their last game, but that was due in part to the injury to defensive tackle Akiem Hicks. The Packers have been able to bring pressure […]

Julian Edelman Limited But Expected To Play

New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman (chest) was limited during the Patriots practice on Thursday. It appears to simply be a maintenance day for the veteran after taking a couple of big shots last week. Edelman is preparing to go up against a Jets Defense for MNF that is allowing the 13th most fantasy […]

Rex Burkhead Still Limited In Practice

New England Patriots running back Rex Burkhead (foot) remains limited in practice as the team prepares to take on the Jets this Monday night in Week 7. Burkhead has missed the past two games and would certainly like another crack at the Jets Defense. In Week 3, Burkhead racked up 69 yards from scrimmage with […]

James White Has PPR Appeal In Week 7

New England Patriots running back James White will be on the fantasy radar as a solid PPR play in Week 7 against the Jets. White is far off his production from last season but has been active the past three games. White has 23 receptions for 149 yards during that span and the Jets have […]

Mason Crosby In Line For Great Game Against Oakland

Green Bay Packers kicker Mason Crosby is in line for a great game against the Oakland Raiders. The Packers have needed to call upon their veteran kicker multiple times this season, with him only missing one of his 11 attempts this year. Given the struggles that the offense has had this season and the offense […]

Sony Michel Out For Revenge Against Jets

New England Patriots running back Sony Michel will look to atone for totaling only 11 rushing yards in Week 3 when the Patriots take on the Jets for a second time this Monday night. Michel's arrow is slowly tilting upward, averaging 80 rushing yards a game with one touchdown over his last three games. He […]

Tom Brady Ready For Second Dose Of Jets

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady will take on a Jets Defense this Monday night that has allowed the 14th fewest fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks. Brady this season is completing 65.4% of his passes this season for 1,743 yards with 12 total touchdowns and three interceptions for the undefeated Patriots. But the future Hall […]

Ted Ginn Difficult To Trust Against Bears

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Ted Ginn will face the stingy Chicago Bears in Week 7. Ginn has not been a dependable option with Teddy Bridgewater under center. The 34-year-old has tallied just nine catches for 105 yards and a touchdown in Bridgewater's four games as the starter. Ginn will face a Bears Defense that […]

Jimmy Graham Could Prove To Be An Effective Option

Green Bay Packers tight end Jimmy Graham could prove to be an effective option against the Oakland Raiders this week. The Packers look likely to be missing Davante Adams (toe) and Geronimo Allison (concussion) this week, meaning Graham could be given more targets in this game. The Raiders are one of the worst teams at defending the […]

Jake Kumerow Could Be Effective Flex Option Against Oakland

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jake Kumerow could be an effective flex option against the Oakland Raiders this week. The Packers pass-catching options have been deeply hit by injury, meaning that after impressing in the preseason, Kumerow could be given a larger role against the Raiders. The Raiders have given up an average of 27.8 […]

Allen Lazard Could Be An Effective Bye-Week Replacement

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Allen Lazard could be an effective bye-week replacement this week against the Oakland Raiders. The Packers top three receivers have been severely hit by injury, giving Lazard a great opportunity this week. The Oakland Raiders are one of the worst units defending against the position, giving up an average of […]
