The NASCAR Cup Series heads to Homestead on Sunday for the second race of the Round of 8. Last week at Vegas, Joey Logano won his way into the Championship 4. Now, seven more drivers will vie to join him there. Will a playoff driver win, or will we see another non-playoff driver win, which […]

The NASCAR Truck Series season is in its final stretch. Eight drivers remain in the hunt to win the title: Chandler Smith, Zane Smith, Ben Rhodes, Christian Eckes, Stewart Friesen, John Hunter Nemechek, Ty Majeski and Grant Enfinger. Last time out at Talladega, Matt DiBenedetto drove to victory, which means that only one driver, Ty […]
Justin Carter 2 years agoChiefs Defense Has Fantasy Question Marks For Week 7
The Kansas City Chiefs defense is in a weird spot heading into Sunday's contest against the 49ers, largely because the status of new 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey is uncertain. The Chiefs rank 25th in scoring defense, so adding a player like McCaffrey to the 49ers offense probably pushes the Chiefs defense out of playable […]
Justin Carter 2 years agoHarrison Butker A Strong Kicking Option In Week 7
Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker returned in Week 6 from his ankle injury and went 2-for-3 on field goals and 2-for-2 on extra points. He might not get as many opportunities to kick this week against a strong 49ers defense, but he should get enough chances to be considered a starting fantasy kicker for […]
Justin Carter 2 years agoMarquez Valdes-Scantling A Risky Fantasy Option Against Niners
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling is coming off of his worst game of the season last week, as he failed to bring in any of his three targets. The former Packer has still yet to find the end zone since joining KC, and he's had just one game with more than four receptions. […]
Justin Carter 2 years agoMecole Hardman A Risky Week 7 Play
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Mecole Hardman will be tough for fantasy managers to trust heading into Sunday's Week 7 contest against the San Francisco 49ers. Hardman found the end zone last week against the Bills, but he's also had two games with under 10 yards this season. He'll have some more good weeks in […]
Justin Carter 2 years agoJuJu Smith-Schuster A WR3 Play For Week 7
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster is coming off his best game as a Chief in Week 6 against the Bills, catching his first touchdown of the season and finishing with 113 yards. It will be tough for Smith-Schuster to repeat that against the 49ers this week though, as they've boasted one of the […]
Justin Carter 2 years agoClyde Edwards-Helaire Has Tough Week 7 Matchup
Kansas City Chiefs running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire has taken a major drop in fantasy production over the last two weeks, posting consecutive games with single-digit fantasy points after looking like a borderline RB1 over the first four games. Edwards-Helaire will try to get back on track this week, but it's likely going to be tough […]
Justin Carter 2 years agoTravis Kelce An Elite Fantasy Option For Week 7
Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce has either 100 yards or a touchdown in all but one game this season and has been one of two tight ends to consistently post top five numbers this season. Heading into Week 7's game against the 49ers, Kelce should be considered a matchup-proof top play. He has […]
Justin Carter 2 years agoPatrick Mahomes A Must-Start Despite Bad Matchup
Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes should be in your fantasy lineup every week, but there is a slight reason to be concerned this week when the Chiefs take on the 49ers. The 49ers allow the sixth-fewest fantasy points per game to opposing quarterbacks, in part because they're one of three teams to give up […]
Justin Carter 2 years agoTexans Defense Has Some Streaming Appeal In Week 7
The Houston Texans defense has played surprisingly well this season, allowing just one team to score over 23 points. The defense ranks 13th in points allowed per game and while the team has struggled to slow offenses down when it comes to moving the ball, it's really clamped down when it comes to preventing scores. […]
Justin Carter 2 years agoKa'imi Fairbairn Remains Consistent Fantasy Option
Houston Texans kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn has been extremely consistent this season, outscoring players like Evan McPherson and Younghoe Koo on a per-game basis. Heading into Week 7's meeting against the Raiders, Fairbairn should be considered a solid streaming option for anyone in need of a bye-week fill-in at the position. He's missed just one kick […]
Justin Carter 2 years agoBrandin Cooks Should Have Solid Floor In Week 7
Houston Texans wide receiver Brandin Cooks has been targeted at least six times in every game this season and while his usage has been dropping, Sunday's game against the Raiders looks to be a good spot for Cooks to bounce back. The Raiders allow 256 passing yards per game, which ranks just 24th in the […]
Justin Carter 2 years agoDavis Mills Has Some Upside In Week 7
Houston Texans quarterback Davis Mills hasn't had the best sophomore campaign, with under 250 passing yards in every contest and two multi-interception games. But if there's ever a time to consider him as a QB2 play, it might be this week, with some popular fantasy quarterbacks on a bye and Mills facing a Raiders defense […]
Justin Carter 2 years agoDameon Pierce Has RB2 Upside In Week 7
Houston Texans running back Dameon Pierce should be considered a solid RB2 play for Sunday's Week 7 matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders. While the Texans offense as a whole has struggled, Pierce has had some good individual efforts, including touchdowns in three consecutive games. Last time out, Pierce had 26 carries and five targets […]

Welcome back to Tape Tells All, the weekly series where I look at film and data for something that happened in the NFL this week. There's actually a slight change of program this week.

Justin Carter 2 years agoMarquez Valdes-Scantling Held Without Reception
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling never got going in Sunday's loss to the Bills, finishing the game without a catch. His best play was a 14-yard reception in the first quarter that was called back because of an ineligible man down field penalty on Creed Humphrey. This should have been a good spot […]
Justin Carter 2 years agoMecole Hardman Catches Touchdown Against Buffalo
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Mecole Hardman caught three of his four targets in Sunday's loss to the Buffalo Bills, finishing with 42 yards and a touchdown. It was Hardman's first touchdown since Week 1. Hardman has had a few good showings this year, but he also has two games with under five receiving yards. […]
Justin Carter 2 years agoTravis Kelce Catches Eight Passes Against Buffalo
Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce was targeted 10 times in Sunday's loss to the Bills, catching eight passes for 108 yards. He also had a long reception called back by a questionable offensive pass interference call. This was only the second time this season that Kelce failed to score a touchdown, but it […]
Justin Carter 2 years agoJuJu Smith-Schuster Has Best Game As Chief
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster finally found the end zone on Sunday, catching a 42-yard strike from quarterback Patrick Mahomes for his first score of the season. Overall, Smith-Schuster caught all five of his targets for 113 yards. Previously, Smith-Schuster's best yardage total of the year had been in Week 3, when he […]
Justin Carter 2 years agoClyde Edwards-Helaire Quiet In Loss To Bills
Kansas City Chiefs running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire struggled to find running room against one of the NFL's best run defenses in Sunday's loss to the Buffalo Bills. He touched the ball nine times, finishing with 33 yards. He wasn't targeted in the passing game. It was the worst fantasy game of the season for Edwards-Helaire, […]
Justin Carter 2 years agoPatrick Mahomes Picked Twice In Loss To Bills
Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes was 25-for-40 for 338 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's loss to the Buffalo Bills. The former MVP threw a pair of interceptions, his first multiple pick game of the 2022 season. Mahomes also added 21 yards on the ground. It took both offenses a bit to get going, […]

The NASCAR Cup Series heads to Las Vegas on Sunday to begin the Round of 8.

Justin Carter 2 years agoChiefs Defense Should Be Off Fantasy Radar Against Bills
The Kansas City Chiefs defense has very little fantasy upside heading into Sunday's meeting with the Buffalo Bills. While KC has been good against the run, they've allowed 255 passing yards per game, which ranks 24th in the NFL. With the Bills leading the NFL in passing yards per game, it's really tough to justify […]
