Darrel Williams Doesn't Do Much In Week 7

Kansas City Chiefs running back Darrel Williams had a quiet afternoon in a Week 7 loss versus the Tennessee Titans. Williams only got five carries during the contest and picked up 20 yards. He also caught three balls for 30 yards. The Chiefs offense got obliterated and that would lead to Williams seeing a low […]

Patrick Mahomes Helped Off The Field

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes (head) took a hard hit to the head/neck area late in Sunday's game against the Titans and had to be helped off of the field. Mahomes was later seen walking around on the sidelines, so the injury might not be as bad as it looks, but Chad Henne will likely […]

Sam Darnold Benched In Week 7

Carolina Panthers quarterback Sam Darnold has been benched in the second half of the team's Week 7 contest against the Giants. He was 16-for-25 for 111 yards and an interception. At one point this year, Darnold led the NFL in rushing touchdowns, but his early success has vanished, as he's thrown seven picks in the […]

Peyton Barber A Healthy Scratch Again

Las Vegas Raiders running back Peyton Barber is a healthy scratch once again, making this the third week in a row that Barber won't be in the lineup. He's clearly only on this roster to be an emergency play if either Josh Jacobs or Kenyan Drake are injured. The Raiders will also be without tight […]

O.J. Howard Will Play In Week 7

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end O.J. Howard (ankle) is active for Sunday's meeting with the Chicago Bears. With Rob Gronkowski (lung/ribs) out, Howard should see an uptick in usage this week. He's coming off a strong showing, with six catches for 49 yards and a touchdown last week. Fantasy managers looking for a late window […]

Fantasy Basketball 9-Cat Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 2

The NBA is back, y'all! Hopefully the first week of fantasy basketball treated you well. If it didn't — well, we're here for you. These recommendations are for 9-cat leagues, but if you play in another format, there's a good chance that the information here can still help you. We'll be looking at centers, forwards, […]

Nico Collins, Chris Conley Will Play

Houston Texans wide receivers Nico Collins (foot) and Chris Conley (neck) will both play on Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals. Collins should play more snaps than Conley and could be viewed as a desperation play in deep leagues since he'll likely see around five targets, while Conley should be completely off of the fantasy radar […]

Zach Wilson Officially Ruled Out

New York Jets quarterback Zach Wilson (knee) will not return to Sunday's game against the Patriots. The No. 2 overall pick was 6-for-10 for 51 yards, but exited in the first half after being hit on back-to-back plays. Mike White will quarterback the Jets for the rest of Sunday's game and possibly for longer, something […]

D'Andre Swift, T.J. Hockenson Active

Detroit Lions running back D'Andre Swift (groin) and tight end T.J. Hockenson (knee) are both active for Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Rams. Both players were limited in practice this week, but will suit up against a tough Rams defense. Swift is a high-end RB2 play while Hockenson is always a TE1 play at […]

Sam Bennett Scores A Goal In Panthers Win

Florida Panthers forward Sam Bennett scored his fourth goal of the season Saturday. Florida knocked off Colorado 4-1. Bennett now has four goals and one assist in five Panthers games. He is centering the Panther's third line playing alongside Owen Tippett and Jonathan Huberdeau. Florida is going to be a force this season. Look for […]

Sony Michel Active For Week 7

Los Angeles Rams running back Sony Michel (shoulder) is active for the team's Week 7 contest against the Detroit Lions. Michel has been a clear-cut backup to Darrell Henderson Jr. this season and isn't getting a ton of work, but fantasy managers who are dealing with bye week issues could put Michel in as a […]

Darren Waller Inactive For Week 7

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Darren Waller (ankle) showed up on Saturday's injury report. Now, he's officially inactive for Sunday's game against the Eagles. In what's already a terrible week for fantasy managers with injuries and bye weeks, Waller being a game-time scratch is an issue. If you were counting on Waller, there's not a […]

Updated Week 7 Tight End Rankings

Welcome to Week 7 RotoBallers. Below are our updated consensus Week 7 tight end rankings for fantasy football, including some running notes on relevant injuries, player news and rankings updates: Darren Waller (Ankle) Has Officially Been Ruled Out Dawson Knox Expected To Miss Three Weeks Rob Gronkowski Won't Play Again in Week 7 Dallas Goedert Activated From […]

Mathieu Perreault Collects Hat Trick Saturday

Winnipeg Jets forward Mathieu Perreault had a big Saturday for Montreal, compiling a hat trick. The Canadiens defeated the Red Wings 6-1 to pick up their first win of the season. Perreault, a third-line centerman for Montreal with the hat trick, has three goals and one helper in five games. However, being more of a […]

Jonnu Smith Questionable To Return In Week 7

New England Patriots tight end Jonnu Smith (shoulder) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the New York Jets. Smith has two catches for 52 yards in the game, plus a five-yard carry. If he's unable to return, Hunter Henry would see an expanded role. Henry has been fairly inconsistent this season due to […]

Zach Wilson Goes To Locker Room

New York Jets quarterback Zach Wilson has gone to the locker room with a knee injury, with Mike White replacing him. Wilson is officially listed as questionable and was seen walking with "a clear hitch in his step," according to Mike Giardi of the NFL Network. Wilson is 6-for-10 for 51 yards in the game. […]

Paul Stastny Lights The Lamp Twice Saturday

Winnipeg Jets forward Paul Stastny scored twice in Saturday's 6-4 win over the Predators. The veteran centerman has compiled two goals and three assists through the first five games of the season. Stastny is centering the team's first line, and he has stepped up his game with the absence of critical players Blake Wheeler and […]

Frederik Andersen Makes 27 Saves In Victory

Carolina Hurricanes goaltender Frederik Andersen made 27 saves in Saturday's 5-1 victory against the Blue Jackets. Andersen has been perfect so far, improving to 4-0-0 with a 1.75 goals against average and .944 save percentage through four starts. Andersen has a chance to post career-best numbers in his first season as a member of the […]

Vincent Trocheck Scores Twice In Victory

Carolina Hurricanes center Vincent Trocheck scored twice and added an assist in Saturday's 5-1 victory against the Blue Jackets. The 28-year-old is up to two goals, three assists and five points through the first four games of the season, while centering the second line for the Hurricanes. Forwards Jesper Fast, Jordan Staal and Sebastian Aho […]

Tristan Jarry Picks Up Win Against Maple Leafs

Pittsburgh Penguins goaltender Tristan Jarry made 28 saves to earn the victory in Saturday's 7-1 blowout win against the Maple Leafs. Jarry's record improves to 3-0-1 to go along with a terrific 1.47 goals against average and .943 save percentage through four games, as the Penguins have been very impressive without their two superstar centers […]

Sergei Bobrovsky Remains Perfect With Victory

Florida Panthers goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky stopped 27 of 29 shots on goal to earn his fourth win of the season in Saturday's 4-2 victory against the Flyers. The only damage done against Bobrovsky were a pair of second period goals by Flyers forwards Claude Giroux and Cam Atkinson. Bobrovsky improves to a perfect 4-0-0 record […]

Jonathan Huberdeau Records Three Points In Victory

Florida Panthers winger Jonathan Huberdeau scored a pair of goals and added an assist in Saturday's 4-2 victory against the Flyers. The 28-year-old opened the scoring in the first period on the power play and also scored the game-winning goal in the third period to help the Panthers stay undefeated to begin the season. Huberdeau […]

Deshaun Watson Expected To Be Traded Before The Deadline

The expectation and belief is that Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson will be traded before the Nov. 2 trade deadline. Rumors spread rapidly earlier this week that the Miami Dolphins and Texans were nearing a deal for Watson, but those rumors turned out to be false. It doesn't mean that the Dolphins won't eventually trade […]

Chiefs Defense Gets Chris Jones Back

The Kansas City Chiefs defense will get defensive end Chris Jones (wrist) back for Sunday's game against the Titans after Jones had missed the last two games. But while the return of Jones is a boon for the real-life Chiefs and should help slow things down at the point of attack, but the KC run […]

Ryan Fitzpatrick Still Weeks From Returning

Washington Football Team quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick (hip), who suffered a hip subluxation in the season-opening loss to the Los Angeles Chargers, is still weeks away from returning, according to sources. Fitzpatrick remains on crutches, meaning Taylor Heinicke will remain the starter for the foreseeable future. The 38-year-old Fitzpatrick likely undergo an MRI exam next week, […]

Brandon Bolden, Nick Folk Active

New England Patriots running back Brandon Bolden (thigh) and kicker Nick Folk (knee) are both active for Sunday's contest against the Jets. With Rhamondre Stevenson being a healthy scratch, Bolden should have some role on Sunday, but not enough for fantasy managers to use him in any lineups. Folk has been a solid kicker this […]

Kliff Kingsbury Cleared To Coach In Week 7

Arizona Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury has returned two negative COVID-19 tests and has been cleared to coach in Week 7 against the Houston Texans as the Cardinals look to remain the NFL's lone unbeaten team. Kingsbury tested positive for COVID-19 last week and missed the Week 6 win over the Cleveland Browns. Arizona will […]

Preston Williams Active For Week 7

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Preston Williams (groin) will play in Week 7 against the Atlanta Falcons. With DeVante Parker (hamstring) out, Williams should serve as the No. 2 wideout for Tua Tagovailoa in what should be a good matchup for the Dolphins passing attack. The last time he played without Parker was in Week 5, […]

Tyreek Hill, Travis Kelce Officially Active

As expected, the Kansas City Chiefs will have wide receiver Tyreek Hill (quad) and tight end Travis Kelce (neck) for Sunday's game against the Tennessee Titans. With the Titans missing multiple pieces in the secondary, this should be a strong game for the Chiefs passing attack. Even with the injury concerns, fantasy managers should fire […]

Evan Engram, Darius Slayton Active In Week 7

New York Giants tight end Evan Engram (calf) and wide receivers Darius Slayton (hamstring) and John Ross (hamstring), who were all listed as questionable, are active in Week 7 against the Carolina Panthers. Engram and Slayton could have very big roles in the passing game with receivers Kenny Golladay (knee), Kadarius Toney (ankle) and Sterling […]
