San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said he's not sure if running back Christian McCaffrey will make his debut for the team in Week 7 against the Kansas City Chiefs after the team acquired him late Thursday night from the Carolina Panthers.

NBA DFS Prop Picks for 10/21/22 - Monkey Knife Fight

Eleven games Friday night is a great way to head into the weekend. The only problem is, trying to find a quality bet on Monkey Knife Fight will take some digging…and maybe some slight convincing. Although this game should have been featured in the article, the Atlanta Hawks and Orlando Magic game needs to be […]

Dusty Baker To Be Asked Back In 2023

The Houston Astros will invite manager Dusty Baker back to manage again in 2023, according to sources. Neither Baker nor general manager James Click have a contract for next season, which is an unusual situation for a team that made the World Series in 2021 and is in the American League Championship Series for the […]

FanDuel NFL DFS Lineup Picks for Week 7 - Daily Fantasy Football

Just like that, we are at Week 7, a day off for those on the Bills, Rams, Vikings, and Eagles. As a result, DFS enthusiasts won't have the luxury of relying on studs like Josh Allen and Jalen Hurts, two of the top three fantasy quarterbacks this season. At the same time, Derrick Henry and […]

Blue Jays Agree To Three-Year Contract With John Schneider

The Toronto Blue Jays agreed to terms with manager John Schneider on a three-year contract on Friday as their manager for the 2023 through 2025 seasons. The deal includes a team option for the 2026 season. The former bench coach went 46-28 as the interim manager after taking over for Charlie Montoyo in July of […]

Titans Defense Not On The Fantasy Radar In Week 7

The Tennessee Titans defense doesn't warrant much consideration for Week 7, as it ranks as the 28th fantasy defense/special teams in points scored. The Colts are a great matchup for fantasy defenses, allowing the third-most fantasy points scored to the position, but Tennessee's secondary is a glaring issue. Matt Ryan and the Colts' offense could […]

Randy Bullock Not A Strong Option In Week 7

Tennessee Titans kicker Randy Bullock doesn't figure to be a top-tier fantasy kicker in 2022 as the Titans possess one of the worst offenses in the NFL through six weeks. Bullock could have a few boom weeks here and there, but it's smart to invest in kickers of productive offenses if fantasy managers are in […]

NFL DFS Lineup Sleepers for DraftKings, FanDuel - Week 7 Value Picks Include Jimmy Garoppolo, Kenneth Walker, Michael Gallup, Robert Tonyan

It is hard to believe that six weeks of the NFL season have already come and gone. We have now gotten a better picture of who the contenders and pretenders are across the league, as well as the tendencies of coaches and what we can expect from certain offenses. This week gets a little more […]

Kyle Philips Could See Targets In Week 7

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Kyle Philips has been quiet since leading the team in targets in his NFL debut, but with Treylon Burks (turf toe) on injured reserve, he could have a role in the offense. He has a floor as low as zero fantasy points, but he and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine will battle to earn […]

Nick Westbrook-Ikhine A Dart-Throw Flex Play

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Nick Westbrook-Ikhine should operate as the Titans' No. 2 wide receiver in the absence of Treylon Burks (toe). However, the Titans have a run-heavy and sometimes run-only offensive attack, so his floor is as low as zero fantasy points. Only fantasy managers in deep leagues should consider him at all, but […]

Robert Woods A Mid-Level Flex Play In Week 7

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Robert Woods had his best fantasy performance of the season against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 4. He caught all four of his targets for 30 yards and a touchdown in the win. He'll match up with the Colts again in Week 7, but his floor is low and ceiling is […]

Derrick Henry Remains An RB1 In Week 7

Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry has put together strong weeks after a slow start to the season and is back to a weekly RB1 outlook. Henry rushed for 114 yards and a touchdown against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 4 and will get a chance to do something similar in their second matchup. Henry's […]

Ryan Tannehill A Low-End QB2 in Week 7

Tennessee Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill could have a wide range of outcomes in his second matchup with the Indianapolis Colts. In the first matchup, he completed 17 of his 21 attempts for 137 yards and two touchdowns. Tannehill often falls below 200 yards passing in a high-volume rushing attack, so his floor isn't high. That […]

Petr Yan Hoping For A Strong Bounce-Back Performance

In a bantamweight matchup with title implications, former champion Petr Yan (16-3) will battle the flashy but dangerous Sean O'Malley on the main card of UFC 280 this Saturday. Though Yan has losses in two of his last three fights, they both came to the champion Aljamain Sterling in which he was disqualified for an […]

Anthony Davis Drops 25 Points In Loss

Los Angeles Lakers center/forward Anthony Davis delivered quite a scare to fans and fantasy managers alike on Thursday night. He fell hard after contesting a shot and had to go back to the locker room. Eventually, he did return to the game and he finished with 25 points, eight rebounds and one steal on 9-for-16 […]

John Wall Puts Up 15 Points In First Game

Los Angeles Clippers guard John Wall made his debut for the team on Thursday night and played in his first game since April of 2021. He was the spark off of the bench that the Clippers are going to eventually need when Kawhi Leonard returns to the starting lineup. He finished the win over the […]

Jaguars Defense Is A Solid Option In Week 7

The defense of the Jacksonville Jaguars are a solid option in a home matchup versus the New York Giants in Week 7. The Jaguars were unable to slow down a Matt Ryan-led passing attack in Week 6 as they gave up a season-high 34 points to the Indianapolis Colts. Outside of last week's performance, Jacksonville's […]

Kawhi Leonard Scores 14 Off Of The Bench

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard played in his first game on Thursday since the playoffs in 2021. He played 21 minutes off of the bench and registered 14 points, seven rebounds, two assists and one steal on 6-for-12 from the floor and 1-for-4 from deep. His mid-range jumper looked as fluid as it was […]

Riley Patterson Could Be Busy In Week 7 Against Giants

Jacksonville Jaguars kicker Riley Patterson could see more opportunities in Week 7 versus the New York Giants. The second-year kicker has attempted and made only two field goals in the last three weeks, though, one of those games came against the Philadelphia Eagles in a rainy environment. Patterson has made multiple field goals in three […]

Evan Engram Is A Fine Streaming Option In Week 7

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Evan Engram is a fine streaming option in Week 7 versus the New York Giants. For those interested in revenge-game narratives, the former first-round pick will square off against his former team on Sunday. In the last two weeks, Engram has caught 11 of his 16 targets for 109 yards. The […]

My model will take time to adjust to these changes, but it's my […]

James Robinson Is A Risky Option In Week 7

Jacksonville Jaguars running back James Robinson is an extremely risky option in Week 7 versus the New York Giants. The former undrafted running back has struggled in the last three weeks with 110 rushing yards and zero touchdowns after rushing for 230 yards and four total touchdowns in the first three weeks of the season. […]

Ivica Zubac Posts Double-Double In Win

Los Angeles Clippers center Ivica Zubac shined on Thursday night against the Los Angeles Lakers. He ended the game with 14 points, 17 rebounds, one assist and five blocks on a perfect 6-for-6 from the floor. Minutes are not going to be an issue for Zubac, as the only other center on the roster didn't […]

Zay Jones Is A Solid Flex Option In Week 7

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Zay Jones enters Week 7 as a solid flex option against the New York Giants. The former second-round pick led the Jaguars with five receptions for 42 yards on five targets in Week 6, giving him five-plus targets in four of the first five games he's been active in. Jones has […]

Lonnie Walker IV Scores Game-High 26 Points

Los Angeles Lakers forward Lonnie Walker IV dropped a game-high 26 points on Thursday night. In the Lakers' 103-97 loss, Walker was able to add three rebounds, three assists and two steals to his scoring total. His 9-for-21 shooting was indicative of the type of night the team had as a whole. In deeper fantasy […]

Wil Lutz Drills Two Field Goals In Loss To Arizona

New Orleans Saints kicker Wil Lutz went a perfect 2-for-2 in field goal attempts while converting all four extra-point tries in Thursday's 42-34 loss to the Arizona Cardinals. He drilled both field goal attempts from 25 and 45 yards on Thursday. The 28-year-old has tallied double-digit points in back-to-back games. He is 11-for-15 in field […]

Christian Kirk Is A WR2 Against Giants In Week 7

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Christian Kirk should be in the WR2 territory in Week 7 against the New York Giants. The former second-round pick has combined for only seven receptions, 95 yards, and one touchdown in the previous three weeks after totaling 18 receptions, 267 yards, and three touchdowns in the first three weeks of […]
