Marquez Valdes-Scantling A Borderline WR3 Against Oakland

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling (ankle, knee) is a borderline WR3 this week against the Oakland Raiders. He'll need to get in at least a limited practice on Friday in order to have a shot at playing. Valdes-Scantling has struggled to be an effective fantasy receiver without Davante Adams (toe) in the lineup. In the […]

Jamaal Williams An RB3 Against The Raiders

Green Bay Packers running back Jamaal Williams has RB3 value in deeper leagues against the Oakland Raiders this week. Williams returned from injury against the Detroit Lions, taking full advantage of the struggles of Aaron Jones. Williams finished the game with 104 yards on the ground, with an additional 32 yards and a touchdown through […]

Michael Thomas A WR1 Against The Bears

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas is a WR1 in Week 7, despite a tough matchup against the Bears. Through six weeks, Thomas checks in as fantasy football's WR2 and has seen at least 12 targets in consecutive games. The former Ohio State star faces a Bears Defense that ranks eighth in points allowed […]

Kerryon Johnson A Mid-Range RB2 In Tough Week 7 Matchup

Detroit Lions running back Kerryon Johnson was given the keys to the Lions backfield but has yet to impress fantasy owners who spent an early-round draft pick on the 22-year-old. Johnson is averaging a measly 3.3 YPC and has seen just 13 targets through the air over five games. Disappointing to say the least. Johnson […]

Aaron Jones A Borderline RB1 This Week Against Oakland

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones is a borderline RB1 this week facing the Oakland Raiders. Jones found himself marginalized against the Detroit Lions after failing to catch a touchdown pass. Jones watched as Jamaal Williams impressed on the field after his return from injury. The Raiders have been one of the better units […]

Davante Adams, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Geronimo Allison Sitting

Green Bay Packers wide receivers Davante Adams (toe), Marquez Valdes-Scantling (ankle, knee) and Geronimo Allison (concussion) remain sidelined at practice for the second straight day this week on Thursday. Adams has missed the last two games with turf toe and seems doubtful to play in Week 7 against the Raiders. MVS and Allison are also […]

Rams Hope Todd Gurley Can Play Sunday

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay said that running back Todd Gurley (thigh) is "on a good pace to hopefully be able to play on Sunday" in Week 7 against the Falcons after he was inactive last week. McVay also said Gurley is "feeling good" and is "going to participate in a limited fashion" […]

Tyrell Williams Dealing With Plantar Fasciitis

Oakland Raiders wide receiver Tyrell Williams (foot) is dealing with plantar fasciitis in his foot, a condition that has kept him off the field since Week 4, according to head coach Jon Gruden. “It’s not getting much better,” Gruden said. Williams didn't practice leading up to the London game and hasn't practiced yet this week. […]

Phillip Dorsett On Track To Return In Week 7

New England Patriots wide receiver Phillip Dorsett (hamstring), who missed last Thursday's game, was moving around well at practice on Thursday. Dorsett is on track to play on Monday night against the Jets. It's welcomed news, too, as Josh Gordon (knee) is questionable to play after getting injured last Thursday. It's looking like Julian Edelman […]

Patrick Mahomes' Injury Is Legitimate

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes' (ankle) injury is a legitimate injury. Sources are saying that the injury is worse than most people think it is, and head coach Andy Reid said it's something that has bothered the quarterback since Week 1. Mahomes aggravated the ankle each of the last two weeks. He has been […]

Latavius Murray A Good Start In Week 7

New Orleans Saints running back Latavius Murray could have a big opportunity in Week 7 against the Chicago Bears. Starter Alvin Kamara is battling injury and pending the injury reports, looks doubtful for the upcoming matchup. Enter Latavius Murray, who is coming off a game in which he averaged a season-high 5.5 yards per carry […]

A.J. Green Has A Ways To Go

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver A.J. Green (ankle) said he still has "a little ways to go." He hasn't practiced this week and isn't expected to make his season debut in Week 7 against the Jaguars. With Green out at least another week, Tyler Boyd and Auden Tate will remain the team's top two receivers. Against […]

Chris Herndon IV Not Practicing Thursday

New York Jets tight end Chris Herndon IV (hamstring) remains out of practice on Thursday. Herndon is a long shot at this point to play on Monday night against the Patriots, so you shouldn't be considering using him as your starting tight end. He could potentially have some TE1 upside in this offense led by […]

Mitch Trubisky Feeling Good

Chicago Bears head coach Matt Nagy said that quarterback Mitch Trubisky (shoulder), who practiced in full on Wednesday, is "feeling good." All signs point to Trubisky returning in Week 7 to face the Saints after missing the London game in Week 5. If that happens, backup Chase Daniel will go back to holding the clipboard. […]

Chris Thompson Still Out Thursday

Washington Redskins running back Chris Thompson (toe) remained sidelined at practice for the second straight day Thursday. It's looking unlikely that Thompson plays in Week 7 against the 49ers while dealing with a minor case of turf toe. Adrian Peterson should see another heavy workload this Sunday, but it might not matter against San Fran's […]

Aaron Rodgers Could Struggle Against Raiders This Week

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers could struggle against the Oakland Raiders this week. Rodgers hasn't looked like himself in this new offense and currently is without a number of his leading receiving options. While the Raiders have given up an average of 19 points to the position, they have been exposed through the air […]

DeSean Jackson Misses Another Practice

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson (abdomen) missed another practice on Thursday. The Eagles were optimistic about Jackson playing this weekend for the first time since Week 2, but that's looking like more of a long shot if he can't get on the practice field. A notoriously slow healer, D-Jax might be more likely to […]

Matt Breida Doing Fine As Second In Command

Despite playing second fiddle to backfield mate Tevin Coleman since his return, San Francisco 49ers running back Matt Breida still holds plenty of standalone fantasy value. Playing fewer snaps than Coleman, Breida has converted 31 touches into 192 scrimmage yards and two scores since Week 5. The third-year back has also been utilized in the […]

Wayne Gallman Practicing In Full

New York Giants running back Wayne Gallman (concussion) practiced in full on Thursday. After missing last Thursday's contest, Gallman looks to be on track to return in Week 7 against the Cardinals. However, Saquon Barkley (ankle) is also practicing in full and should be able to return after a two-game absence. Gallman will be a […]

Tevin Coleman Showing His Value

San Francisco 49ers running back Tevin Coleman has become a focal point of the team’s offense since returning in Week 5 from injury. Coleman has accrued 36 touches in two games, cashing in with 158 scrimmage yards and a couple scores. Entering Week 7 against the Washington Redskins, the dual-threat runner will flirt with backend […]

T.J. Hockenson Not A Recommended Week 7 Start

Detroit Lions rookie tight end T.J. Hockenson has amassed just 56 yards and one score since putting the NFL on notice with a monster Week 1 performance, and with a stingy Vikings secondary coming to town in Week 7, fantasy owners would be smart to look elsewhere to fill their TE spot. Hockenson has seen […]

Falcons Defense Not Worth Consideration

The Falcons Defense has been absolutely atrocious this year. After allowing a whopping 53 points to the Texans in Week 5, they went on to allow the Cardinals to light them up for 34 points in Week 6. This week, the Falcons host a struggling, but still very capable Rams offense. The Falcons should be […]

George Kittle Re-Establishing His Elite Status

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (groin) has a great shot to best his strong performances the past two weeks in Week 7 against the Washington Redskins. After a quiet start to 2019, Kittle has amassed 14 grabs and 173 yards with a score since Week 5 and has reestablished himself as an elite […]

Matt Bryant A Solid Starter For Week 7

Atlanta Falcons kicker Matt Bryant had a strong showing in Week 6 despite missing a crucial extra point for his team. Bryant hit both of his field-goal attempts, including a 44-yarder, but missed the last one of his four extra-point attempts, resulting in the Falcons one-point loss to the Cardinals. This week, the Falcons face […]

Pending Injury Reports, Alvin Kamara A Risky Start In Week 7

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara is reportedly dealing with a high ankle injury this week. This ankle injury and a knee injury Kamara suffered in last week's game put his Week 7 status in serious jeopardy. The Saints prepared for the worst by signing veteran running back Zach Zenner. Kamara has tallied 373 […]

Delanie Walker Trending Out Of TE1 Territory

Tennessee Titans tight end Delanie Walker has cooled off greatly following his hot start to the 2019 season. Walker has caught just five passes for 57 yards over the team's last three games. Although a quarterback change to Ryan Tannehill could provide the passing game with a little life in Week 7 against the Los […]

Ito Smith Not A Viable Starting Option In Week 7

Atlanta Falcons running back Ito Smith only earned three carries and wasn't targeted at all in the passing game in Week 6. He had 11 touches in Week 5 and had generally been more involved in the offense prior to last week, but given the lack of activity in the team's most recent game, he's […]

Dante Pettis Back In The Mix

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Dante Pettis played in a season-high 72 percent of snaps in Week 6 and enters Week 7 as a WR4 against the Washington Redskins. Although he has just 83 yards on nine catches, Pettis’ usage has been gradually trending up and he’s suddenly the Niners wideout to own. The Redskins […]

Dion Lewis Droppable Ahead Of Week 7

Tennessee Titans running back Dion Lewis has been a complete non-factor thus far in the season. Lewis, who saw just four touches for 19 yards in what should have been a very favorable game script a week ago, is certainly not a must-hold anymore, even for Henry owners. The offense as a whole, aside from […]

A.J. Brown A Solid Stash Ahead Of Week 7

Tennessee Titans wide receiver A.J. Brown has been one of the lone bright spots on the offense so far this season, although he has been inconsistent for fantasy due mostly to inconsistent quarterback play. With quarterback Ryan Tannehill slated to make his first start in Week 7 against the Los Angeles Chargers, A.J. Brown is […]
