Jimmy Garoppolo (QB, SF) - Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB Leagues ROSTERED: 21% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Jimmy Garoppolo entered Sunday's game against the Rams quite under pressure. It was normal, considering the putrid performance he put on a week ago when he could only score all of 0.1 FP against Miami. He was banged-up back then, sure, but that fantasy […]

Royce Freeman Sees Season-High Nine Touches Sunday

Denver Broncos running back Royce Freeman served as the backup to Phillip Lindsay in the Week 6 win over the Patriots, as Melvin Gordon III was inactive with a non-COVID-19-related illness. Freeman had a season-high eight carries for 26 yards and caught his lone target for four yards in the 18-12 victory. It was nice […]

Kirk Cousins (QB, MIN) - Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 39% of Leagues ANALYSIS: When I first checked the fantasy-point tracker on Sunday, I saw something I couldn't believe. Through two quarters, Kirk Cousins was sitting at almost two negative fantasy points. He had committed three interceptions and thrown no touchdowns at all. He was, simply put, mediocre. Until […]

Drew Lock Struggles With Accuracy In Return

Denver Broncos quarterback Drew Lock struggled to get much of anything going in his return from a right shoulder sprain, but he nevertheless led his team to an 18-12 victory on the road against the Patriots in Week 6.

Kirk Cousins Knows He Must Improve

Minnesota Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer didn't give any thought to benching quarterback Kirk Cousins after he threw three first-half interceptions in the eventual 40-23 loss to the Falcons in Week 6, but Cousins is aware that he won't make it through the season if his interception trend continues after the team's Week 7 bye. […]

Damiere Byrd Hauls In Three Receptions Against Broncos

New England Patriots wide receiver Damiere Byrd outplayed his fellow receivers during the Week 6 loss to the Denver Broncos. He hauled in three of his four targets for 38 yards in this one.

N'Keal Harry Held Without A Catch In Week 6

New England Patriots wide receiver N'Keal Harry was held without a catch during the Week 6 loss to the Denver Broncos. He was targeted twice and wasn't able to haul in anything here.

Julian Edelman Continues To Disappoint

New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman continues to struggle with three straight dud performances.

James White Hauls In Eight Receptions In Loss

He rushed four times for eight yards and caught eight of his nine targets for 65 yards during the Week 6 loss to the Denver Broncos. Quarterback Cam Newton struggled to move the ball […]

Rex Burkhead Finishes With 14 Yards

New England Patriots running back Rex Burkhead has seen his role basically disappear with the return of James White. In Week 6, Burkhead rushed five times for 14 yards in the loss to the Denver Broncos. He was unable to do anything in the receiving game and it pretty much killed his fantasy value. Damien […]

Damien Harris Posts Dud In Week 6

New England Patriots running back Damien Harris was set up for a big workload for the Week 6 matchup against the Denver Broncos. Sadly, Harris was unable to carry over the momentum for his 100-yard performance in Week 4. He rushed six times for 19 yards and caught one pass for 14 yards in the […]

Cam Newton Struggles In Loss

New England Patriots quarterback Cam Newton was unable to get much going against the Denver Broncos in Week 6. He completed 17 of 25 passing attempts for 157 yards and zero touchdowns with two interceptions in the loss. He was able to somewhat salvage his fantasy value with 76 rushing yards and one touchdown. However, […]

Marquise Brown Leads Team In Receiving In Week 6

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Marquise Brown caught four of six targets for 57 yards in a 30-28 win over the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 6.

Baltimore Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins carried the ball nine times for 28 yards and added two receptions for a yard in a 30-28 win over the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 6. The rookie back ripped off a 16-yard run in the game but was unable to do much else, despite starter Mark Ingram II […]

Gus Edwards Finds End Zone In Week 6

Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards turned 14 carries into 26 yards and a touchdown in a 30-28 win over the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 6.

Samuel Sloman Is Quiet Again In Week 6

Los Angeles Rams kicker Samuel Sloman just couldn't get things going in Week 6 as his offense sputtered mightily against the San Francisco 49ers in their 24-16 loss. He went 1-for-1 on field goals and 1-for-1 on extra points. Kickers need their offenses to move the ball and take care of the ball. Unfortunately for […]

Rams Defense Disappoints In Week 6

The Los Angeles Rams Defense came into Week 6 rolling after several strong performances this season, but they were beat by the San Francisco 49ers on the road.

Tyler Higbee Shows Some Life In Week 6

Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee is still struggling to recapture his form from late last season, but he showed some life in the team's Week 6 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. He caught three of his four targets for 56 yards, which led the team on the night. After you invested some […]

Jeff Smith Quiet In Loss

Josh Reynolds Gets Into The End Zone In Week 6

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Josh Reynolds is clearly the third option in his team's receiver room, but he was able to turn in a decent fantasy performance in Week 6 against the San Francisco 49ers. He caught two of his five targets for 49 yards and a touchdown late in the game. Reynolds is […]
