Raiders Defense Should Remain On Bench

The Las Vegas Raiders defense has been statistically one of the worst defenses in the league this season. They are averaging under two fantasy points per game and face an ascending Buccaneers offense this week. Tom Brady is currently fourth in the league in passing touchdowns, and this Tampa Bay offense is ascending after hanging […]

Darren Waller A Must-Start Despite Tough Matchup

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Darren Waller has a tough test against the Buccaneers this week, but he should be able to produce a solid fantasy performance. Waller has been great at home this season, with 21 catches, 193 yards, and a touchdown in two games. The Buccaneers have one of the league's best defenses, […]

Ryan Blaney Starts 10th At Texas

Penske Racing's Ryan Blaney will take the green flag from the 10th position in Sunday's Autotrader EchoPark Automotive 500 at Texas Motor Speedway. Blaney is coming off of a solid seventh-place run at Kansas and will look for some redemption after the July race at Texas. In that event, Blaney started second and dominated, sweeping […]

Henry Ruggs III A Fringe Flex Option In Week 7

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Henry Ruggs III will have a tough matchup against a good Buccaneers secondary in Week 7. Ruggs had a breakout performance in his last game against the Chiefs, but his value rests with the deep ball at this time. That is not great news considering the Buccaneers are one of […]

Josh Jacobs Has Tough Test Against Buccaneers

Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs will face one of the league's best run defenses this week in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Buccaneers are allowing just three yards per carry and rank second in the league in total rushing yards allowed. Jacobs is having a productive year and is certainly a must-start option, […]

Derek Carr Faces Stingy Week 7 Matchup

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Derek Carr will have one of his most difficult tests of the year against a great Buccaneers Defense. The Buccaneers defense has allowed just seven passing touchdowns and have grabbed eight interceptions in their six games this season. Opposing quarterbacks have a passer rating of 82 against this Todd Bowles defense. […]

Jimmie Johnson Has Massive Upside At Texas

Hendrick Motorsports driver Jimmie Johnson will roll off from the 26th position in Sunday's Autotrader EchoPark Automotive 500 at Texas Motor Speedway. Johnson is coming to the end of his run in the No. 48, and Texas will be one of Johnson's best chances to get that classic final win. In 34 career starts at […]

Kevin Harvick Starts From The Pole At Texas

Stewart-Haas Racing's Kevin Harvick will start from the pole position in Sunday's Autotrader EchoPark Automotive 500 at Texas Motor Speedway. Harvick finished runner-up at Kansas last week and is looking to continue his performance in the fall playoff race at Texas. Harvick only has three TMS victories, but they have all come in the last […]

Saints Defense A Starting Option In Week 7

The New Orleans Saints Defense faces a middle-of-the-pack matchup against the Carolina Panthers in Week 7. It's a date with former Saint Teddy Bridgewater, who started five games for the team in 2019. New Orleans' defense is finally starting to get healthy after a rash of injuries, as they will get Janoris Jenkins (shoulder) back […]

Wil Lutz Gets Favorable Matchup

New Orleans Saints kicker Wil Lutz faces a favorable matchup in Week 7 against the Carolina Panthers. Lutz is perfect on the season, having made all nine field-goals and all 18 extra-points. Carolina ranks 22nd in fantasy points allowed to kickers, making this a juicy matchup for Lutz. Expect strong fantasy numbers from the 26-year-old.

Jared Cook Could See More Opportunities

New Orleans Saints tight end Jared Cook could see more opportunities in Week 7 against the Panthers. Cook had one of his better games against the Chargers, catching two passes for 52 yards and a score. New Orleans is down two of it's best pass-catchers- Michael Thomas (ankle, hamstring) and Emmanuel Sanders (COVID-19)- heading into […]

Tre'Quan Smith Looking At Expanded Role

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Tre'Quan Smith faces a tricky matchup in Week 7 against the Panthers. However, matchup concerns are alleviated by the fact that New Orleans will be without Michael Thomas (ankle, hamstring) and Emmanuel Sanders (COVID-19). Smith will be busy against a Panthers Defense that has surrendered the fourth-fewest fantasy points per […]

Week 7 IDP Rankings, Streamers, and Notes

The big IDP news of the week happened just this Thursday morning, as our rankings were being finalized. It was pretty big news, too. Yannick Ngakoue was traded to the Baltimore Ravens! Let’s discuss just how big this news is, and whether it’s good or bad for his short and long term fantasy prospects, shall […]

Re-Evaluating the Rookie Running Back Class of 2020

We're six weeks into the 2020 NFL season and are starting to get some good ideas of what usage patterns are looking like. Which means we probably have enough data now to start to re-evaluate where certain players stand in relation to other players. For example, we've got a better idea of how this year's […]

Latavius Murray A Good Flex Play In Week 7

New Orleans Saints running back Latavius Murray has a favorable matchup in front of him against the Panthers in Week 7. Murray has had at least 13 touches in three of five contests this season, with two of those games coming against teams that struggle to stop the run. New Orleans will be without Michael […]

Alvin Kamara Poised For Monster Performance

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara gets an excellent matchup against the Panthers Defense. Kamara has offered fantasy managers the safest floor of any running back, particularly in PPR formats, as he's had at least 19 fantasy points in every game this season. He'll go up against a Panthers defense allowing the fourth-most fantasy […]

Drew Brees A High-End QB2 Against Carolina

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees faces the Panthers in Week 7. Brees will face a sneakily-good Carolina defense without his top two receivers, Michael Thomas (ankle, hamstring) and Emmanuel Sanders (COVID-19). Despite not having Thomas, Brees has thrown for at least 250 yards or two touchdowns in each game this season, giving fantasy managers […]

Falcons Defense Best Avoided In Week 7

The Atlanta Falcons Defense should not be on the fantasy football radar heading into a Week 7 matchup against the Detroit Lions. Detroit's offense hasn't been as strong as expected, though they haven't been a matchup to stream defenses against either. They rank 15th in fantasy points allowed to opposing defenses, but the expected point […]

Younghoe Koo An Elite Play In Week 7

Atlanta Falcons kicker Younghoe Koo is shaping up to have a strong game against the Lions in Week 7. Koo has made at least two field-goals and an extra-point in every contest this season, giving him a stable floor for fantasy. With the point total set at 55, Koo could be very busy against the […]

Antonio Brown To Sign One-Year Deal With Buccaneers

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have reached an agreement to sign wide receiver Antonio Brown to a one-year deal. Brown will be eligible to make his 2020 debut as soon as Week 9, when Tampa Bay plays the New Orleans Saints on Sunday night. With Brown's tremendous upside potential, he should be added in all leagues […]

Hayden Hurst A Borderline TE1

Atlanta Falcons tight end Hayden Hurst faces the Lions in Week 7. Hurst is coming off of a four-catch, 57-yard performance with a touchdown against the Vikings. The former Raven seems to benefit from the presence of Julio Jones (hamstring), as he's averaged his highest yards per reception marks in the games where Jones has […]

Russell Gage A Sneaky Sleeper Against Detroit

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Russell Gage (shoulder) could be a sleeper in Week 7 against the Lions. He was a full participant all week, meaning he's good to go for Sunday. Consider Gage's numbers in the two full games that Julio Jones (hamstring) has played this year: 9-114-0 in Week 1 and 4-65-0 last week. […]

NFL Betting Picks For Week 7 (10/25/2020) - Moneylines, Totals, and Spreads

We had a solid 2-0 start last week after Detroit and Tampa bay did what they needed to do. Then I put too much trust in Andy Dalton to lead a new team and he let us down substantially. Dallas is in real trouble here if he can't figure it out, and that's a terrible […]

EPL Betting Picks for Matchweek 6: English Premier League

Last weekend started with a bang; a correct pick and a correct score prediction (at +1150) in our first game. In the next two games, we were let down with corners. Sheffield United did avoid defeat as part of the single-game parlay but mustered just two corners to Fulham's five. Leicester also managed just two […]

Calvin Ridley A WR1 Against The Lions

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley (elbow) is poised for another strong game in Week 7 against the Lions. Ridley has no injury designation after being limited all week, so he's good to go for Sunday's game. The 25-year-old ranks in the top-10 in targets, receptions, receiving yards and receiving touchdowns heading into a favorable […]

Julio Jones An Easy Start In Week 7

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones (hamstring) doesn't have an injury designation and will be suiting up against the Lions in Week 7. Jones has played in four games this year, though he's technically only been healthy in two of them. Here's what he's averaged in those two games: 11 targets, 8.5 receptions, 147 receiving […]

Todd Gurley II Gets Juicy Matchup In Week 7

Atlanta Falcons running back Todd Gurley II is in a good position to put up strong fantasy numbers against the Lions Defense in Week 7. Ironically enough, the former Ram saw his largest workload of the season in Week 6- 23 touches- but had his worst showing of the year, as game script forced the […]

Matt Ryan A Solid QB1 Play Against Lions

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan gets a favorable matchup in Week 7 against the Lions. Ryan clearly benefited from the return of Julio Jones (hamstring) last week, as he threw for 371 yards and four scores. While Jones and Calvin Ridley (elbow) were limited at practice, they are both expected to suit up on Sunday. […]

The Jaguars Defense Should Be Avoided In Week 7

The Jaguars Defense has been absolutely atrocious this year. They have allowed 30-plus points in each of their past five games. This week, the Jaguars face the Los Angeles Chargers, who are only averaging 22 points per game on the season. However, the Chargers are well-rested as they are coming off a bye and rookie […]

Laviska Shenault Jr. A Risky Starter In Week 7

Jacksonville Jaguars rookie wide receiver Laviska Shenault Jr. has continued to have a steady role in the offense, but the results of late haven't been especially inspiring. Last week, Shenault had 10 targets, but managed to catch only three passes for 10 yards. At the start of the year, Shenault was seeing a heavy amount […]
