10 Lineup Busts and Avoids for Week 7

I'm trying a new approach this week with this column, which is that the introductory paragraphs and the recap of last week's games are going to be combined. But don't worry! That just means I'll be writing more about how good/bad last week's bust picks were! It makes more sense to blabber on about that […]

Heroes and Zeroes - Week 7 Fantasy Football Picks

C.J. Anderson was a big, huge, fat bust last week and I totally missed on that. There, I feel better now. No, not really. While we're all trying to predict the future here and wrong quite a bit, it never feels good to be totally wrong when you're putting it out there for thousands to […]

Under-the-Radar Booms/Busts: Week 7

Amari Cooper was a huge boom on Thursday night. Marshawn Lynch was a huge bust. The booms and busts are not letting up, especially the under-the-radar ones. With only two teams (Detroit and Houston) on bye this week, there are more under-the-radar boom/bust candidates than in previous weeks. Lucky me! Here are some under-the-radar booms […]

Fantasy Football Consistency Report for Week 7: Floors and Ceilings

Last week, I introduced a new way to look at consistency in fantasy football based on standard deviation. The method was very well-received on Twitter and Reddit alike, but some had trouble drawing conclusions or making predictions from the raw standard deviations. This week, I would like to present a new way to quantify a […]

Week 7 Rankings Analysis - Pierre Camus vs. Industry Consensus

We get a temporary reprieve from the slaughter that bye weeks do to our lineups as only Detroit and Houston find themselves off this week. This is the point in year where norms have been established and you pretty much know if you're going to be a contender or not. With no lopsided matchups on […]

Yahoo Lineup Picks (Week 7) - NFL DFS Advice

Hey there RotoBallers! Hopefully you locked Larry Fitzgerald and Melvin Gordon into those Week 6 lineups and didn't stack Aaron Rodgers with any of his pass catchers. In this article, I will be taking a look at some of my favorite Yahoo DFS lineups picks for the Week 7 slate. These DFS picks are based on a multitude of factors […]

Fake News Or Real Deal? Week 7 Waiver Outlooks

We've seen a lot of fake news throughout the years. From "weapons of mass destruction" in Iraq to an Ohio postal worker destroying absentee ballots cast for Donald Trump, the news is littered. The same holds true for fantasy football, we've seen plenty of news columns hyping a certain player, only to be left hugely […]

NFL Rookies To Watch In Week 7

Each week, we will look at rookies who have either performed well the previous few weeks or who have a favorable matchup in the upcoming week. These may be high-profile names or under-the-radar depth players; the only thing that matters is that they are first-year pros ready to make a name for themselves. Hopefully, by […]

#TrendingNow - Dynasty Risers and Fallers Week 7

Writing about fantasy football began as a hobby for me. I’ve been playing fantasy sports since middle school and always seemed to do really well. Those were the days where I would join a random league with the Yahoo email I made up, it would autodraft and I would just check my lineup during study […]

Players Sending Out Warning Signals: Heading Into NFL Week 7

Another week, another round of devastating and serious long-term injuries to some of the game's top fantasy names. That means that depth during hellish bye weeks will continue to be an issue, and you might find yourself yet again hanging on longer than expected to some of the more frustrating players out of pure necessity. This week, […]

Fantasy Football Buy-Low and Sell-High Candidates For Week 7

The waiver wire can only help your fantasy football team so much when your superstars fall by the waste side. Aaron Rodgers’ broken collarbone, Odell Beckham’s fractured ankle and Dalvin Cook’s torn ACL have given fantasy owners several reasons to reach for the antacids this year. So while the hits keep coming to fantasy rosters, […]

Fantasy Football Risers & Fallers: Week 7

Whether due to their own play, the play of others, or injuries, players' stock increases and decreases on a weekly basis. Perhaps more than any other, the NFL is a league that experiences ups and downs at a rapid pace. With only 16 games, there’s little room for error and seemingly endless opportunities for improvement. […]

Smashmouth - Offensive Lines Impacting Fantasy Football For Week 7

It’s becoming far too common to see potentially season ending injuries occur on a weekly basis to one of the game’s elite players. Week 6 saw one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time, Aaron Rodgers go down with a broken collarbone which will risk the remainder of his season. The Packers as a team […]

Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups and Adds

Even in today’s NFL, quarterbacks get hit to the ground rather often -- and usually, they bounce right back up. Aaron Rodgers did not bounce right back up, and could now miss the rest of the 2017 season with a broken collarbone. The bright side of losing a QB is that streaming that position tends […]

FAAB Auction Bidding - Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

Welcome to Week 7 everyone. With two more teams on bye (Lions, Texans) as we approach the midway point of the 2017 season, there are still players that can make a difference for your fantasy squads down the stretch as you attempt to make a playoff run. Below are my recommended FAAB waiver wire bids […]

Wide Receivers Waiver Wire - Week 7 Pickups and Adds

It's already Week 7 of the NFL and fantasy season, time flies doesn't it? While Week 6 didn't open up many new opportunities for wide receivers, there are still plenty available on wires who can help teams in need going forward. Only two teams on bye this week but some big-time receivers like DeAndre Hopkins, […]

Running Backs Waiver Wire - Week 7 Pickups and Adds

If you're back here looking for more options off the waiver wire at RB, chances are you didn't bother to pickup Adrian Peterson last week. While I certainly can't claim knowing he would look that good in Arizona, he was the top mention in last week's article and was by far more valuable as a […]

Tight Ends Waiver Wire - Week 7 Pickups and Adds

While there were plenty of movers and shakers on the fantasy scene, the tight end position didn't see as much volatility. Injuries have been the biggest story in the tight end world, but the tight ends remained healthy, at least during this past week. So here we are, feverishly looking to analyze statistics and projections to […]

Waiver Wire Rankings for Week 7

This is our priority list for running backs, wide receivers, tight ends and quarterbacks to add. Darren McFadden (48%) and Alfred Morris (54%) are sitting atop the list, just in case they are still available in your leagues. Go get 'em asap. We always receive a lot of questions of which players to add off the waiver […]

Deeper Sleepers for Standard Leagues (Week 7)

Last week I mentioned Brian Hoyer as a good streaming option, which quickly looked like a bad call when Hoyer was benched for C.J. Beathard. But hey--the 49ers offense looks surprisingly not terrible, so maybe I just had the wrong quarterback penciled in! But seriously, I don't know what to think about San Francisco--every week […]

Heroes and Zeroes - Week 6 Fantasy Football Picks

I'll start by repeating something profound I said in my podcast yesterday: Deshaun Watson is good. I'd put him at the top of this column once again, but it's too obvious in a matchup with Cleveland and you should be starting him anyway. Now that we got that out of the way, I'll continue by […]

Under-the-Radar Booms/Busts - Week 6

The under-the-radar booms and busts do not let up just because there are fewer players to choose from! With bye weeks and a mass of injuries ravaging rosters for fantasy football teams across the country, many lineup decisions are automatically made for fantasy owners because some of their players are not suiting up this weekend.
