Jamison Crowder Doubtful Against Bills
New York Jets wide receiver Jamison Crowder (groin) is doubtful for Sunday's divisional clash with the Bills. Crowder registered a DNP practice session on Thursday that was sandwiched by two limited sessions, giving him a glimmer of hope to play in Week 7. At this point, it's more likely that he's not out there to […]
Tim Capurso 4 years agoSaints Defense A Starting Option In Week 7
The New Orleans Saints Defense faces a middle-of-the-pack matchup against the Carolina Panthers in Week 7. It's a date with former Saint Teddy Bridgewater, who started five games for the team in 2019. New Orleans' defense is finally starting to get healthy after a rash of injuries, as they will get Janoris Jenkins (shoulder) back […]
Tim Capurso 4 years agoWil Lutz Gets Favorable Matchup
New Orleans Saints kicker Wil Lutz faces a favorable matchup in Week 7 against the Carolina Panthers. Lutz is perfect on the season, having made all nine field-goals and all 18 extra-points. Carolina ranks 22nd in fantasy points allowed to kickers, making this a juicy matchup for Lutz. Expect strong fantasy numbers from the 26-year-old.
Tim Capurso 4 years agoJared Cook Could See More Opportunities
New Orleans Saints tight end Jared Cook could see more opportunities in Week 7 against the Panthers. Cook had one of his better games against the Chargers, catching two passes for 52 yards and a score. New Orleans is down two of it's best pass-catchers- Michael Thomas (ankle, hamstring) and Emmanuel Sanders (COVID-19)- heading into […]
Tim Capurso 4 years agoTre'Quan Smith Looking At Expanded Role
New Orleans Saints wide receiver Tre'Quan Smith faces a tricky matchup in Week 7 against the Panthers. However, matchup concerns are alleviated by the fact that New Orleans will be without Michael Thomas (ankle, hamstring) and Emmanuel Sanders (COVID-19). Smith will be busy against a Panthers Defense that has surrendered the fourth-fewest fantasy points per […]
Tim Capurso 4 years agoLatavius Murray A Good Flex Play In Week 7
New Orleans Saints running back Latavius Murray has a favorable matchup in front of him against the Panthers in Week 7. Murray has had at least 13 touches in three of five contests this season, with two of those games coming against teams that struggle to stop the run. New Orleans will be without Michael […]
Tim Capurso 4 years agoAlvin Kamara Poised For Monster Performance
New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara gets an excellent matchup against the Panthers Defense. Kamara has offered fantasy managers the safest floor of any running back, particularly in PPR formats, as he's had at least 19 fantasy points in every game this season. He'll go up against a Panthers defense allowing the fourth-most fantasy […]
Tim Capurso 4 years agoDrew 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 […]
Tim Capurso 4 years agoFalcons Defense Best Avoided In Week 7
The Atlanta Falcons Defense should not be on the fantasy football radar heading into a Week 7 matchup against the Detroit Lions. Detroit's offense hasn't been as strong as expected, though they haven't been a matchup to stream defenses against either. They rank 15th in fantasy points allowed to opposing defenses, but the expected point […]
Tim Capurso 4 years agoYounghoe Koo An Elite Play In Week 7
Atlanta Falcons kicker Younghoe Koo is shaping up to have a strong game against the Lions in Week 7. Koo has made at least two field-goals and an extra-point in every contest this season, giving him a stable floor for fantasy. With the point total set at 55, Koo could be very busy against the […]
Tim Capurso 4 years agoHayden Hurst A Borderline TE1
Atlanta Falcons tight end Hayden Hurst faces the Lions in Week 7. Hurst is coming off of a four-catch, 57-yard performance with a touchdown against the Vikings. The former Raven seems to benefit from the presence of Julio Jones (hamstring), as he's averaged his highest yards per reception marks in the games where Jones has […]
Tim Capurso 4 years agoRussell Gage A Sneaky Sleeper Against Detroit
Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Russell Gage (shoulder) could be a sleeper in Week 7 against the Lions. He was a full participant all week, meaning he's good to go for Sunday. Consider Gage's numbers in the two full games that Julio Jones (hamstring) has played this year: 9-114-0 in Week 1 and 4-65-0 last week. […]
Tim Capurso 4 years agoCalvin Ridley A WR1 Against The Lions
Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley (elbow) is poised for another strong game in Week 7 against the Lions. Ridley has no injury designation after being limited all week, so he's good to go for Sunday's game. The 25-year-old ranks in the top-10 in targets, receptions, receiving yards and receiving touchdowns heading into a favorable […]
Tim Capurso 4 years agoJulio Jones An Easy Start In Week 7
Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones (hamstring) doesn't have an injury designation and will be suiting up against the Lions in Week 7. Jones has played in four games this year, though he's technically only been healthy in two of them. Here's what he's averaged in those two games: 11 targets, 8.5 receptions, 147 receiving […]
Tim Capurso 4 years agoTodd Gurley II Gets Juicy Matchup In Week 7
Atlanta Falcons running back Todd Gurley II is in a good position to put up strong fantasy numbers against the Lions Defense in Week 7. Ironically enough, the former Ram saw his largest workload of the season in Week 6- 23 touches- but had his worst showing of the year, as game script forced the […]
Tim Capurso 4 years agoMatt 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. […]
Tim Capurso 4 years agoBuccaneers Defense Dominates The Packers
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers Defense put up a dominating performance in a 38-10 win over the Green Bay Packers. The unit harassed quarterback Aaron Rodgers throughout the game, hitting him 13 times- including five sacks- and recording two interceptions, one of which was returned for a touchdown. It was a championship-level performance from the unit, […]
Tim Capurso 4 years agoRyan Succop Connects On Five Extra-Points
Tampa Bay Buccaneers kicker Ryan Succop made one field-goal and all five extra-points in a 38-10 drubbing of the Packers. Succop wasn't needed much in terms of field-goal kicking, as the Buccaneers' offense made good on any opportunities- and the defense took care of the rest. The veteran kicker won't have as much upside as […]
Tim Capurso 4 years agoCameron Brate Held To One Catch
Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cameron Brate was held in check by the Packers, despite his team's big victory. Brate caught just one ball for three yards in the 38-10 win. It looked like the veteran tight end was going to keep pushing Rob Gronkowski as the starting tight end, though he was clearly out-played […]
Tim Capurso 4 years agoRob Gronkowski Paces Team In Receiving Yards
Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Rob Gronkowski put together another strong outing. Gronkowski caught five of a team-high eight targets for 78 receiving yards and a touchdown. His 12-yard score made it a 28-10 game at the half and Tampa Bay never looked back. That makes two straight games with at least 50 receiving yards, […]
Tim Capurso 4 years agoTyler Johnson Catches Touchdown Against Packers
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Tyler Johnson saw just one target in a win over the Packers. However, Johnson made it count, as he hauled it in for a seven-yard touchdown reception that helped to extend the Tampa Bay lead. Johnson won't be a big part of the offense most weeks, as he'll be competing […]
Tim Capurso 4 years agoChris Godwin Sees Seven Targets In Return
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin returned to the field against the Packers and saw seven targets, hauling in five of them for 48 receiving yards. Godwin was immediately a big part of the gameplan again, as head coach Bruce Arians alluded he would be earlier in the week. It was still a more […]
Tim Capurso 4 years agoMike Evans Blanketed By Packers
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans had a rough day against the Packers. Evans saw just two targets and caught one of them for 10 yards, as he struggled to break free of Jaire Alexander's coverage for parts of the game. It also didn't help that the game was largely in the Buccaneers' control […]
Tim Capurso 4 years agoRonald Jones II Picks Up 121 Scrimmage Yards, Two Scores
Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ronald Jones II carried the ball 23 times for 113 yards and two scores along with two catches for eight receiving yards. Jones II exceeded 20 touches and 100 scrimmage yards for the third consecutive game, proving head coach Bruce Arians right as he continues to trust him. It should […]
Tim Capurso 4 years agoTom Brady Tosses Two Touchdown Passes
Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady completed 17 of 27 passes for 166 yards and two touchdowns in a 38-10 victory over the Packers. Brady stepped up in the first half, as Green Bay jumped out to a 10-0 lead after one quarter of play. The veteran signal-caller was precise in the red zone, firing […]
Tim Capurso 4 years agoPanthers Defense Has Quiet Day
The Carolina Panthers Defense didn't do much of anything in a 23-16 loss to the Chicago Bears. Carolina surrendered only 23 points, though they didn't register a sack. Their one interception was the only fantasy-relevant statistic they produced on the day. In reality, the defense has performed very well and is underrated. However, they simply […]
Tim Capurso 4 years agoJoey Slye Makes Three Field-Goals And An Extra-Point
Carolina Panthers kicker Joey Slye stayed hot in a tight loss to the Chicago Bears. Slye made at least three field-goals for the second consecutive game and fourth time this season, including a 48-yarder. The 24-year-old has missed a few kicks here and there, but for the most part, he's been very solid for Carolina […]
Tim Capurso 4 years agoIan Thomas Registers Just One Catch
Carolina Panthers tight end Ian Thomas caught his only target for nine receiving yards. Thomas' line for the season- 6-39-1- looks like a line for one game. He just hasn't been involved in the offense enough with Robby Anderson and D.J. Moore gobbling up most of the targets. Fantasy managers should stay far away until […]
Tim Capurso 4 years agoRobby Anderson Picks Up 77 Receiving Yards
Carolina Panthers wide receiver Robby Anderson saw just five targets but turned them into four grabs for 77 receiving yards in a 23-16 loss to the Bears. Anderson took a backseat to D.J. Moore, who saw a team-high 11 targets, though Anderson did have the tougher cornerback matchup to deal with. The 27-year-old had seen […]
Tim Capurso 4 years agoD.J. Moore Posts 93 Receiving Yards Again
Carolina Panthers wide receiver D.J. Moore hauled in five of a team-high 11 targets for 93 receiving yards in a loss to the Bears. That's back-to-back games for Moore with 93 receiving yards, while the 11 targets were the second-most he's seen in game this season. It's possible that Moore is a turning a corner […]
