Chris Thompson Shouldn't Be Started In Week 7

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Chris Thompson has caught 16 of his 19 targets for 111 yards and a touchdown on the year. He's been regularly seeing about five targets per game this year, but he isn't doing a ton with them, averaging 6.9 yards per reception. He's also barely getting any work in the running […]

Braxton Berrios Avoidable Versus Bills

New York Jets wide receiver Braxton Berrios put together two strong weeks in the beginning of the season, but hasn't done much since then. Last week, Berrios caught one of his three targets for 18 yards in the loss to the Miami Dolphins. At this point, Berrios isn't going to have much fantasy value with […]

Jeff Smith Sees Rapid Decline In Value

New York Jets wide receiver Jeff Smith saw 20 total targets over a two week period, but was only able to haul in 10 of them. He saw an increased workload with Breshad Perriman (ankle) sidelined. However, last week Perriman returned, which means Smith saw his workload decrease heavily. Smith saw four targets and he […]

James Robinson Continues To Be A Must-Start In Week 7

Jacksonville Jaguars running back James Robinson has struggled a bit in his past two games. He averaged 3.7 yards per carry against the Houston Texans in Week 5 and 2.4 yards per carry against the Detroit Lions in Week 6. Regardless, his workload has been significant enough to make up for the low efficiency. He's […]

Denzel Mims Might Suit Up Versus Bills

New York Jets wide receiver Denzel Mims (hamstring) could actually suit up for his NFL debut this week against the Buffalo Bills. The young wideout has been battling a hamstring issue all season, but appears close to getting back on the field. It's unclear what kind of role he'll have in this offense. Mims is […]

LoL DFS Picks for 10/24: DraftKings, FanDuel League of Legends World Championships

Welcome back, RotoBallers, to my League of Legends DFS column. It is another lovely day of eating crow, European style. FNC pushed TES to the edge, and Gen G was trashed around the map by G2. Well, now we're back, and it's down to the final four. DWG gets what they have been waiting for […]

Gardner Minshew II A Decent QB2 In Week 7

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Gardner Minshew II has been struggling lately after his hot start to the season. The Jaguars have lost five straight and head coach Doug Marrone recently said he wouldn't rule out benching Minshew if his struggles continue. In Week 7, Minshew and the Jaguars face the Los Angeles Chargers, who have allowed […]

Justin Gaethje Has Upset On His Mind In Saturday's Main Event

Though Justin Gaethje (22-2) is only 5-2 in the UFC, he has been on a run lately, winning his last four bouts in a row by knockout. As expected, Gaethje averages 7.74 significant strikes per minute and zero takedown attempts. He'll have to pull out his college All-American moves in this one, as his opponent […]

Continue To Avoid The Texans Defense In Week 7

The Texans Defense has been obliterated all season long, allowing an average of 30.3 points per game on the year. This week, they face a Green Bay Packers team that had scored 30-plus points in four straight games to start the year before stumbling against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last week. Expect to see Aaron […]

Breshad Perriman Carries Low-End Flex Value

New York Jets wide receiver Breshad Perriman (ankle) was able to practice on Thursday without any issues. He returned last week against the Miami Dolphins and finished with four receptions for 62 yards. The fact that Perriman saw eight targets last week is a good sign for his fantasy value. Sadly, there isn't anyone on […]

Can Khabib Nurmagomedov Remain Undefeated?

Khabib Nurmagomedov (28-0) will look to remain undefeated and the UFC's lightweight champion when he faces dangerous striker Justin Gaethje in Saturday's main event. Nurmagomedov's game plan will shoot for the takedown while wrestling Gaethje to the ground. The Eagle averages 5.35 takedowns per 15 minutes. DraftKings sees the champion retaining his gold by a […]

Jamison Crowder Banged Up Heading Into Week 7

New York Jets wide receiver Jamison Crowder (groin) was not able to suit up for Thursday's practice. It is possible that the team has limited Crowder's reps because he's not feeling 100 percent healthy. Crowder has seen 46 targets in four games this season and is the only form of life on this Jets offense. […]

La'Mical Perine Expected To See Increased Workload

New York Jets running back La'Mical Perine was expected to have a larger role in the backfield after the departure of Le'Veon Bell. However, veteran Frank Gore has been asked to do most of the heavy lifting in the running game. Head coach Adam Gase did mention that he wants to get Perine more carries […]

Randall Cobb Is A Risky Fantasy Starter In Week 7

Houston Texans wide receiver Randall Cobb has been steadily and consistently involved in the team's passing game, earning right around five targets every game this year. However, he's mostly being used in short yardage situations. He's averaged under 10 yards per reception in each of the past two games. In PPR leagues, he has some […]

Start Brandin Cooks As A WR3/Flex In Week 7

Houston Texans wide receiver Brandin Cooks has flourished ever since the firing of Bill O'Brien. Over his last two games, he has 17 catches for 229 yards and two touchdowns on 21 targets. Will Fuller V should still be considered the Texans No. 1 receiver for now, but Cooks is looking more like a 1B […]

Darren Fells A Solid Starting Option In Week 7

Houston Texans tight end Darren Fells has scored touchdowns in two straight games as the Texans passing game has begun to catch heat. At the start of the season, Fells was splitting most of the tight end passing targets with Jordan Akins (ankle), but Akins has missed two straight games and has been ruled out […]

Emmanuel Sanders Placed On Reserve-COVID List

The New Orleans Saints have placed wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders (COVID) on the Reserve-COVID list. Following the move, he will be forced to miss Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers. The move doesn't necessarily mean Sanders tested positive for COVID as he could have just been in contact with someone who tested positive. Regardless, Sanders […]

Aaron Jones Suffers Mild Calf Strain

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones (calf) suffered what is being described as a "very mild" calf strain during Thursday's practice. He is sitting out practice on Friday and is now questionable for Sunday's game against the Houston Texans. It sounds like he could end up being a game-time decision this week, which means […]

Will Fuller V In Position For Another Big Game In Week 7

Houston Texans wide receiver Will Fuller V has scored a touchdown in four straight games and has topped 100 receiving yards in two of his past three. The Texans passing game as a whole has been exceptional lately after a slow start to the year. In Week 7, the Texans face the Green Bay Packers […]

Duke Johnson Not Worth Gambling On In Week 7

Houston Texans running back Duke Johnson is yet to see a significant workload so far this year. He was out-snapped 56 to 19 by David Johnson in Week 6. Duke had just four carries and two targets in the game while David had 19 carries and two targets. David hasn't been particularly efficient with his […]

David Johnson Is A Fine RB2 Start In Week 7

Houston Texans running back David Johnson has dominated the carries all year long for the Texans backfield, regardless of whether the team's No. 2 back Duke Johnson has been active or injured. Expect that to continue in Week 7 when the Texans face the Green Bay Packers in what should be a high-scoring affair. Johnson […]

Deshaun Watson Should Stay Hot In Week 7

Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson has turned things around after a slow start to the year. He's coming off his best game of the season as he threw for 339 yards and four touchdowns without an interception in Week 6 against the Tennessee Titans. This week, Watson faces a Green Bay Packers Defense that has […]

Leonard Fournette Good To Go Against Raiders

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Leonard Fournette (ankle) is "good to go" for Week 7 against the Raiders, according to head coach Bruce Arians. Fournette sat out in Weeks 4 and 6 and played only one snap in Week 5. It complicates things in Tampa's backfield, but Fournette will likely provide a change of pace […]

Lane Johnson Suffers Grade 1 Knee Sprain

An MRI exam confirmed that Philadelphia Eagles right tackle Lane Johnson (knee) suffered a Grade 1 MCL sprain in the Thursday night win over the Giants, but he shouldn't have to miss much time, according to a source. There's a chance that Johnson could be back for the Week 8 matchup against the division-rival Cowboys, […]

DeSean Jackson Going On Injured Reserve

An MRI exam on Friday confirmed that Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson (ankle) suffered a high-ankle injury in the Thursday night win over the Giants, and the Eagles will place him on Injured Reserve. He'll be out for at least the next three weeks, but given Jackson's notorious nature of being a slow healer, […]

Joey Slye Activated From COVID-19 List

The Carolina Panthers activated kicker Joey Slye and offensive lineman Trent Scott from the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Friday and also placed cornerback Rasul Douglas on the COVID-19 list. Slye and Scott were placed on the list earlier this week but have cleared the league's testing protocols and can play in Week 7 against the Saints. […]

Austin Hooper Ruled Out Due To Appendicitis

Cleveland Browns tight end Austin Hooper is having surgery on Friday for appendicitis and has been ruled out for Week 7 against the Bengals, according to head coach Kevin Stefanski. It's a tough break for Hooper, as he was just starting to heat up in Cleveland's offense after a slow start to the 2020 campaign. […]

Saquon Barkley To Have Surgery Next Week

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (knee) is scheduled to have ACL reconstruction surgery next week now that his MCL injury has had time to heal. Doctors are hopeful that he'll be ready for training camp next summer. Barkley suffered the season-ending injury in Week 2 and ruined a lot of fantasy managers' seasons […]

Raiders Defense Won't Have Johnathan Abram Sunday

Las Vegas Raiders safety Johnathan Abram, who is currently isolating on the COVID-19 test after he was deemed a high-risk contact, will not be cleared in time to play in Week 7 against the Buccaneers. The Raiders defense hasn't been fantasy relevant all year, but this is more bad news for them against a Tampa […]
