Flex Heroes and Zeroes - Week 7 Fantasy Football Picks

I like to draw inspiration from classic hip-hop lyrics when doing pretty much anything and writing is no different. When it came to summing up this week's Hero picks, I dug a little deeper than usual down my rankings list. How deep? Deep as the abyss, deeper than Atlantis, deeper than a prostitu... never mind, […]

Week 7 Busts - Overvalued Players to Avoid In Fantasy Football

Unless you play in a league with a Week 17 playoff round, which...no, no, no, stop it...then Week 7 represents the midway part of the fantasy football regular season, which feels shocking. It's gone so fast! But why has it gone so quickly? Football feels like it just barely returned and now it's already Week […]

Week 7 Consistency Reports - Start/Sit Decisions

Through six weeks we are now starting to see things settle down somewhat. We no longer have the massive movements in the tables that we have seen previously. This goes for all positions and the numbers are starting to match results. There will be names that surprise but when you go and look at the […]

Week 7 Rankings Analysis - Nick Mariano vs. Industry ECR

Hey, everybody, and welcome to the weekly column that puts my rankings under the microscope and compares them against the Expert Consensus Rankings (ECR). My hope is to help you understand why I’m significantly higher or lower on players than the expert crowd. Do note that the ECR is likely to shift a bit! Who […]

NFL Survivor Pool Picks (Week 7) - Targets and Avoids

Week 6 wrapped up with the Green Bay Packers giving survivor entries a huge scare. It looked like the Packers were done. Their defense was so bad allowing 7.3 yards per play, yet Aaron Rodgers did it again. He should win the MVP. For those of you saying Pat Mahomes should win, they were a […]

Fleaflicker's Most Added and Dropped Players (Week 7)

Another week in the books fantasy football lovers and it’s the same old Tennessee Titans who cannot buy an offensive snap without Marcus Mariota being greeted with a defensive player in his face. As I was typing this he was sacked again. Mariota is only the 12th player in NFL history to take 11 sacks […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Football Picks (Week 7): NFL DFS Lineups

Entering Week 7 we have to start with bad news. The Atlanta Falcons are playing on Monday Night Football, removing one of the best teams to select DFS options against. In a way, this is perhaps a blessing as they are facing the New York Giants. Therefore, this saves us as a fantasy community from […]

Brock Osweiler Not A Great Fantasy Option In Week 7

Miami Dolphins quarterback Brock Osweiler is a low-end QB2 heading into a Week 7 matchup against the Detroit Lions. Detroit is allowing just 222 passing yards per game to opposing quarterbacks and have been one of the stingiest pass defenses in 2018. Despite a surprise 380-yard, three-touchdown performance last week Osweiler has been a horrible […]

Derek Anderson Gets The Start Sunday

Buffalo Bills quarterback Derek Anderson will look to get the team on track Sunday versus the Indianapolis Colts. Wow, that was weird to say. Anderson joined the team less than 10 days ago, so we shouldn’t expect much in terms of pass production. It sound the starting quarterback Josh Allen will be back in a […]

Inside the Tent - Week 7 NFL Injury Insight

Everyone held a collective breath as they watched Cooper Kupp get horse-collared by a Broncos defender and had his left knee twisted awkwardly. Thankfully, he didn't tear any ligaments and was even able to come back and play in the second half after getting carted off the field. Devonta Freeman, Leonard Fournette, and Dalvin Cook […]

Ahead of The Game - College Devy Prospects (Week 8 Edition)

I thought that Week 7 was going to be one of the better weeks of the season, but, even while thinking that, I could not have predicted the mayhem that occurred. The top 10 rankings had to be completely overhauled with four top 10 losses and we were close to one more. Week 8 features […]

Marcus Cannon To Miss Week 7

New England Patriots right tackle Marcus Cannon (concussion) did not practice all week and has been ruled out for Week 7 against the Bears. Quarterback Tom Brady's protection won't be as good as usual against a strong Chicago pass rush, although All-Pro defensive end Khalil Mack (ankle) is questionable and was slowed by his injury […]

Ryan Tannehill's Future With Dolphins In Question

Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill (shoulder) will play again this season, but his long-term future is in doubt. Tannehill continues to battle injuries and has not lived up to expectations in the first seven weeks of the season. Before the knee injury that kept him out for all of 2017 he had a quarterback rating […]

Jameis Winston a Decent Starting Option Sunday

Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston is in play this weekend as a solid starting option. The Browns/Bucs game total has risen from 48 to 51 signifying that there should be some solid scoring going on in Tampa. The Browns have effectively shut opposing quarterbacks down at home this season but have been vulnerable on the road. […]

Start Andy Dalton In Week 7

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton continues to fly under the fantasy radar this season. Dalton is currently the 13th ranked fantasy quarterback overall and has had an impressive 2018-19 campaign, throwing for 14 touchdowns off of 1,674 yards. Though he will throw an occasional pick here and there, he continues to play well despite several […]

Patrick Mahomes is Elite QB in Week 7

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has thrown for 300 passing yards or more in five straight games. Mahomes threw four touchdowns against the Patriots last week and is showing no signs of slowing down. He'll face a Bengals defense that ranks 27th in passing yards allowed this season. This should be another elite matchup […]

Jared Goff Should Rebound Against 49ers

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff has been shaky over the last two games. He's only thrown one touchdown while throwing three interceptions over the last two weeks. Luckily, Goff is heading into a matchup against the 49ers defense that is allowing two passing touchdowns per game this season. This is the perfect spot for […]

Josh Rosen Should Be OK For Week 8

Arizona Cardinals head coach Steve Wilks said rookie quarterback Josh Rosen (toe) is dealing with a sprained toe, but he should be OK for Week 8 against the 49ers. With 10 days until their next game, Rosen has extra time to heal up. He was dreadful in the 45-10 blowout loss to the Broncos on […]

Matt Ryan A Must-Start This Week

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan is once again a must-start this week against the New York Giants on Monday. Ryan's numbers at home have been significantly better than on the road this season. Almost everything, down to his offensive lines protection has been better when at home this year. Ryan is averaging 3.25 touchdowns and […]

Philip Rivers Facing A Strong Defense

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers has been off to one of the best starts of his career, but he'll have his work cut out for him across the pond. In London this week, Rivers will have to square off against a Titans defense that is allowing the seventh fewest fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks […]

Josh Rosen In Walking Boot

Arizona Cardinals rookie quarterback Josh Rosen (toe) is in a walking boot on Friday and is undergoing an MRI exam on his injured toe after injuring it on the final offensive play in the 45-10 blowout loss to the Broncos on Thursday. Rosen said after the game that his injury wasn't a big deal. It […]

Cardinals Fire Mike McCoy

The Arizona Cardinals fired offensive coordinator Mike McCoy after their 45-10 blowout loss to the Broncos on Thursday night. McCoy has now been fired two straight years in the middle of the season as an offensive coordinator, also being fired by Denver last year. Arizona ranks dead last in the NFL in yards per game […]

Marcus Mariota Back To Low-End QB2 Status In Week 7

Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota and the offense appeared to have finally found their rhythm in the Week 4 win over the Philadelphia Eagles, but they followed that up with consecutive games without scoring a touchdown. Mariota enters this Week 7 matchup against the Los Angeles Charger with an atrocious three total touchdowns on the […]

Fantasy Football Q&A Mailbag - Week 7

Week 6 of the 2018 NFL Season is in the books, and here is a quick fantasy recap to keep you up to date. Welcome back Jameis Winston! Winston led the way at the quarterback position with 30.9 points, followed by none other than Dak Prescott. If that isn't crazy enough, Brock Osweiler finished in […]

Case Keenum Leads Team To Win On TNF

Denver Broncos quarterback Case Keenum played good enough to help guide his team to a win over the Arizona Cardinals on Thursday. Though Keenum got some additional help from the Denver defense, he still played adequately, finishing the night completing 14 of his 21 pass attempts for 161 yards and a touchdown. He did throw […]

Josh Rosen Plays Poorly In Week 7 Loss

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Josh Rosen had a very poor performance in the team's blowout loss to the Denver Broncos. Rosen threw 21 passes on 39 attempts for 194 yards and a touchdown as well as three interceptions and two fumbles. Five turnovers on the night were what ultimately proved costly for the team, as Rosen […]

Josh Rosen Hurt Late In Cardinals Game

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Josh Rosen was hurt late in the team's blowout loss to the Denver Broncos. Rosen injured his left foot but played through it until the end of the game. The extent of the injury is unknown, but if Rosen were to miss any time, it is assumed that backup Sam Bradford would […]

Blake Bortles Has Decent Matchup In Week 7

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles has had an uneven season and is coming off a poor Week 6 performance against Dallas in which he threw for just 149 yards. A week earlier against the Chiefs, he threw for a season-high 430, but four interceptions dampened his day. This week, Bortles gets a Houston defense that's […]
