Drew Brees and Derek Carr Should Thrive in Week 7

Both Drew Brees and Derek Carr come into Week 7 with extra rest, and both look poised to do well against their respective opponents. After a shoulder injury slowed him down early in the season, Brees has come back strong with three-straight 300-yard games. He's not lighting up the scoreboard like we're accustomed to seeing, […]

Dez Bryant Out, Jason Witten A Must-Start, Sit/Start Christine Michael?

The Dallas Cowboys will face off against the New York Giants in Week 7 in a pivotal NFC East matchup. Major fantasy football implications have arisen this week for the Cowboys in all aspects of their offense. Dez Bryant did not travel with the team to New York on Friday, and was officially ruled out […]

MLB Ready Prospects: Top 30 Rankings for 2016 Fantasy Drafts

As many of you all may remember, during the regular season I discussed which Top 30 prospects would have the biggest impact for fantasy owners during the regular season. This series will continue into the offseason, but will come out once a month as opposed to once a week. The only requirement to be on this […]

Eagles Look to Soar Over Panthers On the Wings of DeMarco Murray, Ryan Matthews

This season, things have been fairly complicated in Philadelphia. For starters, Eagles supporters don’t exactly have the reputation for being the kindest, most patient of NFL fans. Add to that unending questions surrounding Chip Kelly’s managerial sanity, Sam Bradford’s ability to throw an actual football and DeMarco Murray’s desire to gain positive yardage, and it’s […]

Melvin Gordon Questionable; Danny Woodhead or Brandon Oliver to Benefit?

Melvin Gordon is listed as questionable for a Week 7 match-up against the Oakland Raiders. Last week, Melvin was benched after multiple fumbles and only put up seven carries for 29 yards and tweaked his ankle to add injury to insult. This year so far, the rookie from Wisconsin has not found the end zone […]

Keep a Clean Sheet: Jameis Winston and Kirk Cousins Look to Minimize Interceptions

Regardless of name, number of off-field endorsement deals or years of experience, for quarterbacks, it’s key that the ball—as often as possible—remain in possession of the offense at all times. Interceptions are obviously nothing new to the game, but this year’s league-wide interception totals—in particular, the man who’s leading the damning column—is nothing short of […]

Lamar Miller to Shine, Dion Lewis to Struggle in Week 7

A pair of AFC East running backs enter Week 7 coming off polar opposite performances in Week 6. Lamar Miller, the Miami Dolphins running back who was non-existent during the first month of the season, bounced back in a big way against the Tennessee Titans, while New England Patriots' running back Dion Lewis barely touched […]

Don't Expect Much From Mike Evans and Vincent Jackson Against Redskins

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers enter Week 7 off their bye week and with a favorable matchup against the dysfunctional Washington Redskins. This is a game the Bucs have a strong possibility of winning, but fantasy owners shouldn't expect much production from wide receivers Mike Evans and Vincent Jackson. Let's start with Evans, who's been the […]

Philip Rivers, Keenan Allen Should Perform Well Against Oakland Raiders

Philip Rivers proved he wasn't human in Week 6 when he destroyed the Green Bay Packers for more than 500 yards and two touchdowns. Keenan Allen, who has been Rivers' favorite target this season, was the beneficiary of 14 of those completions for 157 yards in that game, and the two showed they have the […]

Potential Booms and Busts for Week 7: The Early Games

As we approach the halfway mark of the fantasy football season, it's a great time to think about how unpredictable this year has been.

Week 7 Running Back Depth Charts for Fantasy Football

Week 6 was odd. There's no other way to put it.

On the contrary, Every back in the AFC West, which has purported impressive RB play […]

Joe Flacco, Joseph Randle, Le'Veon Bell, LeGarrette Blount: Week 7 Lineup Busts?

Joe Flacco - QB, Baltimore Ravens For all the reasons I am buying the Cardinals this week, I am selling the Ravens. The Cardinals have allowed the fifth-least amount of fantasy points against QBs, and Flacco is dealing with a tattered receiving corps in a game that could get out of hand quickly. If you are […]

Week 7 DraftKings Deeper Sleeper Tournament Plays

Here we go again folks. Week 7 is here and for the sake of consistency I'll stick with the tournaments that start at 1 PM Eastern Time, so don't be shocked to not see names from Buffalo-Jacksonville listed. Week 7 has a decent amount of mid-level plays that are all in contention for being rather […]

Eli Manning, Jason Witten, Marcus Mariota, Martellus Bennett: Players With Warning Signals?

Eli Manning – QB, New York Giants Let's begin this by stating that Eli Manning is having a strong year. He's thrown 11 touchdowns against four interceptions, and had a beautiful three-game stretch where he threw seven touchdowns against just one interception. He finds himself on this list because we saw the Eli of old in Week 6 when […]

Fantasy Football Buy Lows/Sell Highs for Week 7 (Part 2)

The waiver wire isn't the only place to change the course of your team. The right trade can make or break your season. The key is to buy low on cold players and sell overachieving players whose values have skyrocketed. While this is a well-known method, some owners still tend to overreact when a play over- or […]

Week 7 Lineup Booms: Doug Martin, Drew Brees, Todd Gurley, Julius Thomas

Doug Martin - RB, Tampa Bay Buccaneers In the two weeks prior to the Week 6 bye, Doug Martin looked as good as he has since his rookie season. Over the last two weeks, the Redskins run defense has been shredded to the tune of 346 YDs and 5.2 yards per carry. This is aligning […]

Peyton Manning, Jonathan Stewart, Allen Hurns: Buy Low Candidates?

Peyton Manning - QB, Denver Broncos Enough of the slander. This is a future hall-of-famer that has racked up at least 4,000 yards in each of his last eight seasons. After this week's bye, Manning and the Broncos head home for what is bound to be a shootout with Aaron Rodgers and the Packers, whose defense […]
