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, […]

Running Back Buy-Low Assets for the Second Half

Willie Snead Is A Sneaky Play Against Former Team

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Willie Snead has been fantastic in his role as the team's third receiver. Snead will look to continue his upward swing against the New Orleans Saints -- where he spent his first three seasons -- in Week 7. The 26-year-old receiver had a great game last week, posting season highs across […]

John Brown Could Have Monster Game Against Saints

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver John Brown will look to exploit a vulnerable Saints defense in Week 7. Brown took a back seat to Michael Crabtree last week against Tennessee, capturing two of three targets for just 28 yards. All three stats were a season low for the 28-year-old. However, he did haul in a 23-yard […]

NFL DFS Sleepers - Wide Receivers to Target in Week 7

We've reached that point in the year where teams are getting banged up, and whoever stays the healthiest playing a key role in virtually every matchup.

Week 7 DraftKings Power Pivots - NFL DFS

Welcome back RotoBallers! We are getting into the thick of the NFL season as we prepare for Week 7.

Outside of a select few guys, there doesn't […]

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.

Week 7 DFS GPP Stacks For FanDuel And DraftKings

Hey there RotoBallers! Week 6's action didn't disappoint as the Falcons and Buccaneers combined to score 63 points while Todd Gurley's unreal run continued with an insane 208-yard, two-touchdown performance against the Broncos. Melvin Gordon, not to be outdone by Gurley, lit up the Browns for 132 yards and three touchdowns. If you didn't have […]

Tre'Quan Smith - Dynasty Outlook

If you're a fan of dynasty Twitter, you're well aware of who Tre'Quan Smith is and what he brings to the table in New Orleans. The biggest uptick that you're looking at with Smith right now comes from the veteran wide receiver, Ted Ginn, heading to IR. In Week 5 when Ginn was sidelined, Smith […]

Michael Crabtree Is A Solid WR3 For Week 7

The Baltimore Ravens are hoping wide receiver Michael Crabtree has put his propensity to drop passes behind him. Crabtree is coming off a stellar Week 6 performance where he had six catches for 93 yards and one touchdown. It was the first time that he reached the end zone since the opening game of the […]

Alex Collins Has Tough Matchup Versus Saints

Baltimore Ravens running back Alex Collins is coming off a solid 54-yard, two-touchdown performance on a season-high 19 carries in a 21-0 win over the Titans last week. While he averaged an uninspiring 2.8 yards per attempt, he only had two negative runs and garnered five or more yards on three of his carries. More […]

Justin Tucker A Top-10 Play In Week 7

Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker has been nearly automatic this year as he has been throughout his seven-year career.
