Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan is a low-end QB1 on Thursday against the Panthers. Ryan posted 338 yards and a touchdown in last week's loss to the Lions and has tossed for over 300 yards in the past two games.

New Orleans Saints kicker Wil Lutz is a solid play this week against a Bears team allowing the seventh-most points to fantasy kickers. Lutz has gone 11-for-11 in field goals and 21-for-21 in extra points this season, meaning he is one of the most reliable players at his position. The kicker is a great play […]
Rishi Patel 4 years agoSaints Defense A Streaming Option Week 8
The New Orleans Saints Defense is a streaming option this week against the Bears. This unit hasn't been consistent or potent at all this season, but the Bears do not have an explosive offense and have struggled to even put up points at times, as evidence of their losses to the Rams and Colts. Add […]

New Orleans Saints tight end Jared Cook is a low-end TE1 this week against Chicago. Cook has been an integral part of this offense this season and with the WR unit banged up right now, he could see more targets this week. The TE has now scored a touchdown in the past two games as […]

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Tre'Quan Smith is not an ideal play this week against a stingy Bears Defense that is allowing the third-fewest points to fantasy wideouts, but he could have a bigger workload if both Michael Thomas (ankle, hamstring) and Emmanuel Sanders miss another week. Smith had four catches for 54 yards on four […]
Rishi Patel 4 years agoMichael Thomas Worth A Start This Week If Active
New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas would be a solid play this week even against a tough Bears Defense due to his talent and predicted high volume in the passing game.

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees is not a strong option at QB in Week 8 against the Bears. Chicago allows the fewest fantasy points to QBs and Brees may be without Michael Thomas and Emmanuel Sanders once again this week. Therefore, this week will pose a stiff challenge for Brees if he doesn't have […]

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Scotty Miller paced the team with six receptions for 109 yards and a score on nine targets in the Week 7 win over the Raiders.

Carolina Panthers tight end Ian Thomas only contributed one reception for 11 yards on one target in the Week 7 loss to the Saints.

He's worth considering as a […]
Rishi Patel 4 years agoPanthers Defense Making Strides But Not Trustworthy
The Carolina Panthers Defense, though improving and showing signs of efficiency, is not a viable starting option this week. They face the Saints, who have a potent offense consisting of Drew Brees, Alvin Kamara, Jared Cook, and elite WR Michael Thomas, who could potentially return this week. In addition, the Saints have been the third-worst […]
Rishi Patel 4 years agoIan Thomas Not A Starting Option In Week 7

Rishi Patel 4 years agoD.J. Moore A Low-End WR2 This Week
Carolina Panthers wide receiver D.J. Moore should best be viewed as a low-end WR2 for this week.

Nevertheless, Moore's role is still decent as he has seen at least four targets in each game. There […]
