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 […]

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. […]

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 […]

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 […]

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, […]

Zack Martin Ruled Out For Cowboys

Dallas Cowboys offensive guard Zack Martin (concussion) has been ruled out for Week 7 against the Washington Football Team. A once-promising offensive line in Dallas has been gutted by injuries in 2020. After losing both starting tackles, Martin will now miss this Sunday's game. It will hurt the Cowboys rushing attack and running back Ezekiel […]

Sam Darnold Expected To Start Against Bills

New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold (shoulder) will start in Week 7 against the Bills, barring a setback in practice on Friday, according to a source. Darnold has been limited in practice this week, but it looks like he'll make his return after a two-game absence for the winless Jets. Buffalo's defense hasn't been nearly […]

Vikings Haven't Lost Faith In Kirk Cousins

Minnesota Vikings general manager Rick Spielman said that quarterback Kirk Cousins' shaky start to 2020 hasn't caused the franchise to lose faith in the signal-caller after they gave him a two-year, $66 million contract extension this spring. "You just kind of have to go back and look at the big picture," Spielman said. "But I […]

Kyler Murray Should Flourish In Week 7

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray has been a bit inconsistent with his passing this year, but he's still managing to consistently get the ball in the end zone. He has 10 passing touchdowns and six rushing touchdowns through six games. This week, Murray and the Cardinals face a Seattle Seahawks Defense that ranks dead last […]

Raiders Have No New COVID-19 Positives

The Las Vegas Raiders had no more positive COVID-19 tests from their latest round of testing, a positive sign that their Week 7 game against the Buccaneers will be played as scheduled. The game was moved from the Sunday night slot to Sunday afternoon out of an abundance of caution after having two COVID-19 instances […]

Jimmy Garoppolo A Risky Week 7 Start

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo had his best fantasy game of the year so far in Week 6 against the Los Angeles Rams. He threw for 268 yards and three touchdowns without any turnovers. This week, Garoppolo faces a tough New England Patriots Defense allowing just 22 points and 219.8 passing yards per game. […]

Daniel Jones Stumbles Into Fantasy Production On Thursday

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones had his best statistical performance of the season on Thursday night, but still came up short in a one-point loss to the Eagles. Jones was 20-for-30 passing for 187 yards and two touchdowns while also adding 92 rushing yards. While those were positives for the second-year QB, Jones had […]

Carson Wentz Has His Best Game In A While In Week 7

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz had his best game in a long time in a Week 7 comeback win over the division-rival New York Giants. Wentz led a fourth-quarter game-winning drive and in total completed 25 of his 43 passes for 359 yards, two touchdowns and one interception. He also ran the ball seven times […]

Raiders Put Four Offensive Lineman On COVID-19 List

The Las Vegas Raiders placed four starting offensive lineman on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Thursday. Center Rodney Hudson, guards Gabe Jackson and Denzelle Good and tackle Kolton Miller were deemed high-risk contacts, according to sources. Tackle Trent Brown is already on the COVID-19 list, so the Raiders could be without all five starting offensive linemen […]

Patrick Mahomes Should Continue Strong Season In Week 7

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes will look to continue his strong season in a Week 7 matchup versus the Denver Broncos. Vic Fangio's defense has been stingy against opposing quarterbacks by allowing just 252 yards per game on the season and zero passing touchdowns for two straight weeks. The Chiefs offense is so explosive […]

Justin Herbert Seeks First Victory

Los Angeles Chargers rookie quarterback Justin Herbert will look for his first NFL victory in a matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 7. Herbert has been performing very well since taking the starting gig away from Tyrod Taylor in Week 2. The Chargers had a Week 6 bye, but Herbert threw for 264 yards […]

Drew Lock Still Looking To Prove Himself

Denver Broncos quarterback Drew Lock returned from a shoulder sprain in Week 6 to lead the team to an upset win over the Patriots, but he didn't look very sharp and tossed no touchdowns and two interceptions. In the two full games Lock has played in 2020, he hasn't gone over 216 passing yards and […]

Seahawks-Cardinals Moved To Sunday Night In Week 7

The game between the Seattle Seahawks and Arizona Cardinals in Week 7 has been moved to Sunday night at 8:20 p.m. ET, with the previously scheduled Sunday night game between the Buccaneers and Raiders being moved to 4:05 p.m. ET.

Andrew Thomas To Start Thursday

The New York Giants plan on using first-round left tackle Andrew Thomas in the starting lineup on Thursday night against the Eagles, according to an informed source.

Tyrod Taylor Medically Cleared; Could Be Backup In Week 7

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Tyrod Taylor (lung), who has been out around a month with a punctured lung, has been medically cleared, according to a source. Rookie quarterback Justin Herbert has played exceptionally well in Taylor's absence and remains the starter coming out of the bye week, but Taylor could return as the backup in […]

Ryan Tannehill To Face Tough Steelers Secondary

Tennessee Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill is coming off a season-high 364-yard performance and heads into Week 7 with confidence, but he faces a stingy Steelers Defense that allows just 18.8 points per game thus far. Tannehill has thrown multiple touchdowns in 13 of his last 15 regular season starts and his resurgence has continued into […]

Joe Flacco Avoidable In Week 7

New York Jets quarterback Joe Flacco has started each of the last two games with Sam Darnold (shoulder) sidelined. The veteran quarterback has not been able to do much of anything in his two starts. Luckily, Darnold was practicing on a limited basis on Wednesday, so hopefully he can suit up here. Flacco has not […]

Sam Darnold A Lousy Option Against Bills

New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold (shoulder) was able to practice on a limited basis on Wednesday. That's a good sign that Darnold could return against the Buffalo Bills in Week 7. He has missed each of the last two games with an AC joint sprain. Veteran Joe Flacco has looked horrendous as the starter, […]

Ben Roethlisberger A QB1 Versus Tennessee

After throwing just one touchdown in Week 6, Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger settles in as a low-end QB1 in fantasy for his Week 7 road matchup against the Tennessee Titans. Tennessee's defense has struggled to stop the pass this season, ranking 24th in pass-defense DVOA and allowing the eighth-most fantasy points per game to […]

Baker Mayfield A QB2 In Week 7

Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield (ribs) is expected to be able to suit up for Week 7's game against the Cincinnati Bengals. Mayfield was pulled early from a blowout loss vs. the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 6 to protect his injured ribs. Head coach Kevin Stefanski has already told reporters that Mayfield will be the […]

Russell Wilson Is A QB1 In Week 7

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson is well-rested following his bye week, and he'll be looking to continue his quest for an MVP in Week 7 against the Arizona Cardinals. The Cardinals are allowing fewer than 17 fantasy points per game to opposing quarterbacks, but they haven't faced an outfit like the one Seattle is trotting […]

Jared Goff Has A Tough Matchup In Week 7

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff has been a low-end QB1 for the majority of the season, but that is not the case in Week 7 against the Chicago Bears. The Bears Defense has been playing lights-out football through the first six weeks of the season, and they haven't shown signs of slowing down. They're […]

The warning signals get brighter by the week since we have more data to work from. The larger the sample size the easier it is for us to connect the dots from the latest trends. Football is a game of small samples and many variables, making it one of the hardest sports to predict. How […]
