Browns Defense Draws Tough Matchup Vs. Bengals

The Cleveland Browns defense will take on the Cincinnati Bengals at home in Week 7.

That being said, the Bengals are a tough matchup for fantasy defenses as they […]

Tight Ends Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks - Outlooks and Trends For Week 7

The tight-end position finally got some life this past weekend! The return of Evan Engram and David Njoku gave the position some juice. The trade of Davante Adams also makes Brock Bowers more appealing for the rest of the season. Trey McBride's peripherals continue to look very strong. Fantasy managers should have some cautious optimism […]

Dustin Hopkins A Low-End Fantasy Option In Week 7

Cleveland Browns kicker Dustin Hopkins has made 10 of his 12 field-goal attempts and all but one of his extra points during the 2024 season. He will look to keep it going at home against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 7. The Bengals have been a tough matchup for kickers this season as they are […]

David Njoku A Low-End TE1 In Week 7

Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku (ankle) is expected to serve as his team's primary target following the trade of Amari Cooper to the Buffalo Bills earlier in the week.

Should I Drop Jerome Ford? Fantasy Football Outlook for Week 7

Cleveland Browns running back Jerome Ford (hamstring) is set to take on a smaller role for the team with the return of star running back Nick Chubb (knee). Chubb is expected to play in his first game back since a devastating knee injury ended his 2023 season prematurely. While Ford has done a solid job […]

Elijah Moore A Low-End Flex In Week 7

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Elijah Moore has been a forgotten man in his team's offense for much of the season. With the recent trade that sent Amari Cooper to the Buffalo Bills, Moore will get his chance to slide over to the No. 2 receiver role starting in Week 7 against the Cincinnati Bengals. The […]

Tre Tucker Worth Flex Start In Deep Leagues In Week 7

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Tre Tucker has an easier matchup in Week 7 against the Los Angeles Rams, so he has a solid chance of bouncing back after getting blanked in Week 6 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. He should have expanded opportunity for targets with star WR Davante Adams leaving for the Jets and […]

Jerry Jeudy A WR3 In Week 7

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jerry Jeudy (knee) will get a chance to slide over to the WR1 chair after the team traded Amari Cooper to the Buffalo Bills earlier in the week.

Daniel Carlson A Fringe Starting Option In Deep Leagues

Las Vegas Raiders kicker Daniel Carlson should have some opportunities to score points when his tame takes on the Los Angeles Rams in Week 7. The Rams have allowed the 13th-fewest fantasy points per game to opposing kickers, ranking around the middle of the league. It may be tough for the Raiders to get much […]

Pierre Strong Jr. A Sneaky Flex In Week 7

Cleveland Browns running back Pierre Strong Jr. should be in line for a larger role heading into a Week 7 home matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals. Jerome Ford (hamstring) will not play in Week 7, leaving the third-down role open for Strong against Cincinnati. The Browns are expected to get Nick Chubb (knee) back for […]

Raiders D/ST Not A Good Start Against Rams In Week 7

The Las Vegas Raiders will play against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 7, and they will face a tough test against a good NFL offense. Rams head coach Sean McVay is an elite offensive mind, and his team has turned the ball over just six times in five games, one of the lower rates […]

Fantasy Players Who Are Trending Up Ahead Of Week 7

Some players get off to slow starts, some find their groove later in the season, and yet others have a string of fluky games before falling back to their usual production. Whatever the reason may be, many players have strings of good games after being relatively quiet to start the season. Digging into the context […]

Alexander Mattison Likely To See Reduction In Volume If Zamir White Plays

Las Vegas Raiders running back Alexander Mattison will square off against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 7. He's had two consecutive solid fantasy weeks, but the return of Zamir White (groin), who practiced in full on Friday, could cap his upside yet again.

Brock Bowers Set To Continue Huge Season Against Rams

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Brock Bowers could reclaim his spot as the overall TE1 in fantasy scoring in a matchup with the Los Angeles Rams in Week 7. The Rams have allowed the second-most PPR fantasy points per game to opposing tight ends, and they should have trouble slowing down one of the NFL's […]

Vince Dunn Considered Day-To-Day

Seattle Kraken defenseman Vince Dunn (undisclosed) has been labeled as day-to-day ahead of Saturday's matchup against Calgary. Dunn missed the third period of Thursday's 6-4 win over Philadelphia, and Kraken head coach Dan Bylsma suggested it was for precautionary reasons. However, Dunn does appear to be dealing with an injury and didn't practice on Friday. […]

Deshaun Watson A Low-End QB2 Vs. Bengals

Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson will look for his first 200-yard passing game of the season when he squares off against the Cincinnati Bengals at home in Week 7. The Watson-led Cleveland offense has struggled greatly this season, ranking 30th in the league in points per game and last with just 240.2 yards per game. […]

Aidan O'Connell To Lead Depleted Raiders Offense In Week 7

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Aidan O'Connell will face the Los Angeles Rams in Week 7.

Wide receiver Davante Adams is now with the New York Jets, and his now-top receiver, […]

Joel Eriksson Ek To Rejoin Lineup On Saturday

Minnesota Wild center Joel Eriksson Ek (nose) is expected to be back in action on Saturday against Columbus. After breaking his nose last weekend, he has sat out a pair of contests.

Jeff Petry Ready To Return On Saturday

Detroit Red Wings defenseman Jeff Petry (upper body) is set to rejoin the lineup on Saturday versus Nashville. The veteran has missed three games after getting hurt in the team's season-opener against Pittsburgh on Oct. 10. Erik Gustafsson is expected to be scratched for the contest to accommodate Petry's return. Petry's productivity dropped off significantly […]

Mikko Rantanen Enjoys Second Consecutive Three-Point Night

Colorado Avalanche right wing Mikko Rantanen delivered three assists in Friday's 4-3 overtime win against the Ducks.
