Trade For These Rookies Before They Break Out

Sometimes, rookies come out of the gate with a bang, putting up big numbers like Ja'Marr Chase is doing in Cincy. Other times, they take some time to get going. That's where a good fantasy football manager can pounce, taking advantage of managers who are ready to give up on slow-developing rookies. That's our goal […]

Jordan Clarkson, Joe Ingles Resume Effective Bench Play

The Utah Jazz second unit picked up during Wednesday's season-opening win over Oklahoma City right where it left off last season. The scoring effort was led by Jordan Clarkson, who dropped 18 points on 6-for-11 shooting, while Joe Ingles knocked down four threes as he compiled 14 points. Clarkson, the reigning Sixth Man of the […]

Rudy Gobert Records 21-Rebound Double-Double

Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert has established himself as one of the preeminent double-double weapons in the league over the past handful of years, and Wednesday was no different. Despite logging just 29 minutes due to the hefty margin of victory vs. the Thunder, Gobert managed to compile 21 rebounds to go along with 16 […]

Josh Giddey Snatches 10 Rebounds In NBA Debut

Oklahoma City Thunder small forward Josh Giddey drew the start in his first NBA contest Wednesday, in which he recorded 10 rebounds across 29 minutes. Things were a bit trickier on the offensive end of the floor for the sixth overall pick in the 2021 NBA Draft, as he went 2-for-7 from the field en […]

Mo Bamba Packs Stat Sheet In Season Opener

Orlando Magic center Mo Bamba was all over the stat sheet in Wednesday's season-opening defeat to San Antonio, finishing with a team-high 18 points in just 27 minutes.

Devin Vassell Drops Career-High 19 Points Off Bench

San Antonio Spurs small forward Devin Vassell wasted no time making an impact in 2021-22, opening the year with a career-high 19-point performance in Wednesday's win over Orlando. Vassell was tremendously efficient from the field in his 25 minutes, shooting 8-for-12 overall, including going 3-for-4 from behind the arc. But he continued his multi-category contributions […]

Jakob Poeltl Opens Season With Double-Double

San Antonio Spurs center Jakob Poeltl burst onto the fantasy scene with some impactful performances down the stretch last season, with his 1.8 block-per-game average earning him some notoriety.

Rams Defense Is A Great Option In Week 7

The Los Angeles Rams defense was rolling last week, and they can keep that momentum going in Week 7 against the Detroit Lions. Since scoring 33 points in Week 1, the Lions haven't scored more than 17 points in any of their next five games. They also have given up at least one turnover in […]

Matt Gay - Week 7 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Los Angeles Rams kicker Matt Gay has been quite consistent this year, and he remains a safe play in Week 7 against the Detroit Lions. Gay has made 31 of his 33 kicking attempts this year, and the only reason he doesn't get put higher in the weekly kicker rankings is because of his offense's […]

Tyler Higbee - Week 7 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee has been fading over the last few weeks, and he remains a TE2 option in Week 7 against the Detroit Lions. There are multiple fantasy tight ends that are out this week on bye, and that bumps up the viability of Higbee. Higbee has seen at least five […]

Robert Woods - Week 7 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Robert Woods hasn't been the elite fantasy option we've come to known from recent seasons, but he's still a solid flex option in Week 7 against the Detroit Lions. Woods scored his third touchdown of the season in Week 6 and he's currently averaging just under 60 receiving yards per […]

Cooper Kupp - Week 7 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp is on another planet for fantasy wideouts entering Week 7 against the Detroit Lions. Kupp's 152.8 fantasy points in PPR setups are 15.1 more than any other wideout. He has a 47-point cushion between him and the WR12 on the year. Kupp leads the Rams with 68 targets, […]

Darrell Henderson Jr. - Week 7 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Los Angeles Rams running back Darrell Henderson Jr. has been one of the most consistent running backs in fantasy football this season, and that consistency should continue in Week 7 against the Detroit Lions. In four complete games, Henderson has run for at least 70 yards and he's scored a touchdown in four out of […]

Matthew Stafford - Week 7 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford is the QB9 after six weeks, and he can easily move up the rankings in Week 7 against the Detroit Lions, where he spent the first 12 seasons of his career. Stafford is averaging over 300 yards and 2.7 passing touchdowns per game this season, and the Rams offense […]

Brian Johnson - Week 7 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New Orleans Saints kicker Brian Johnson is not worth starting in Week 7. The Saints added Johnson this week after Cody Parkey was placed on injured reserve. The team's original starter, Wil Lutz, started the season on injured reserve with a core muscle injury. Johnson is now the fourth kicker New Orleans will start this […]

Saints Defense A Strong Play Against Seahawks

The New Orleans Saints defense is a strong play in Week 7 against Seattle. The unit has eight sacks, nine picks, and three forced fumbles on the season. Meanwhile, the Seahawks have lost starting QB Russell Wilson to a finger injury and are starting backup Geno Smith. Smith hasn't been terrific in two games thus […]

Adam Trautman - Week 7 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New Orleans Saints tight end Adam Trautman is not a viable fantasy play in Week 7. Though the TE posted his best season numbers in Week 5 (2/43/0), he has been underwhelming overall in other games and has shown no consistency. The 24-year-old's next best total was when he posted three receptions for 18 yards […]

Tre'Quan Smith - Week 7 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Tre'Quan Smith is not a viable fantasy play in Week 7 if active. The WR has been dealing with a hamstring injury since training camp and has been on injured reserve since. Nevertheless, the WR is set to be taken off injured reserve and could return for Week 7. He […]
