Todd Gurley II A Low-End RB1

Atlanta Falcons running back Todd Gurley II is a low-end RB1 against a Carolina team allowing the fourth-most points to fantasy RBs. Gurley has seen at least 14 carries and 47 rushing yards in all seven games and has gotten over 55 rushing yards in six of seven games. Last time these two teams played, […]

Matt Ryan A Low-End QB1 Against Carolina

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. Though the Panthers allow the fifth-fewest fantasy points to QBs, Atlanta's effectiveness on offense is […]

Wil Lutz A Solid Play In Week 8

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 […]

Saints 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 […]

Jared Cook A Low-End TE1 In Week 8

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 […]

Tre'Quan Smith A Low-Ceiling WR4/5 This Week

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 […]

Michael 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. Nevertheless, the WR is dealing with a hamstring and ankle injury and it's important to monitor his status heading into Sunday's clash to […]

Alvin Kamara An RB1 This Week

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara is an RB1 this week against a tough Bears Defense. Kamara posted 14 carries for 83 yards and eight catches for 65 yards last week, displaying his versatility and importance in both the rushing and passing game. The Bears present a tough matchup for RBs generally, but Kamara's […]

Drew Brees Not A Strong Option In Week 8

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 […]

Deeper League Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 8

It’s unbelievable that we are entering the middle portion of the season already, but things are now starting to get more serious in both the NFL and fantasy leagues everywhere. This week brought about another devastating injury, this time to Browns WR Odell Beckham Jr. The importance of the waiver wire remains incredibly important with […]

Rob Gronkowski Sees Eight Targets

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Rob Gronkowski had another terrific performance in Week 7, getting five receptions for 62 yards and a score on eight targets. Gronk is starting to look like himself and that's encouraging for fantasy managers. The big tight end has now scored a touchdown in two straight games. He has also […]

Mike Evans Has Quiet Day

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans had a quiet day in Week 7, grabbing two receptions for 37 yards on two targets. It was certainly a disappointing day for Evans considering several of his teammates had a terrific game. With many mouths to feed on this offense, days like this are bound to happen […]

Chris Godwin Goes For 88 Yards

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin recorded nine receptions for 88 yards and a score on nine targets in Week 7. The WR finally had his breakout game of the season and proved on Sunday why he was a very high pick in drafts this year. Assuming Godwin stays healthy, he is a solid […]

Scotty Miller Gets 109 Yards

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. This was by far Miller's best game of the season in terms of receptions, yards, and targets. The addition of Antonio Brown will likely impact […]

Ronald Jones II Gets Rushing Touchdown

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ronald Jones II ended Week 7 with 13 carries for 34 yards and a rushing touchdown along with one reception for two yards on two targets. Jones had a disappointing week as he had over 100 yards rushing the past three games. In addition, Leonard Fournette received 11 carries and […]

Leonard Fournette Contributes In Rushing And Passing Game

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Leonard Fournette finished Week 7 with 11 carries for 50 yards and six receptions for 47 yards on seven targets. After dealing with injuries for the past several weeks, Fournette was effective this week and chipped in his best receiving total of the season. Nevertheless, him getting more carries surely […]

Tom Brady Torches Raiders On Sunday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady may be 43, but he sure didn't look like it on Sunday. The QB torched the Raiders by going 33-for-45 for 369 yards and four touchdowns. He also added a rushing touchdown. It was another terrific performance by Brady and the addition of Antonio Brown very soon could only […]

Ian Thomas Has One Catch

Carolina Panthers tight end Ian Thomas only contributed one reception for 11 yards on one target in the Week 7 loss to the Saints. Thomas has only seen three targets in the past three games and that has resulted in 20 total yards. His almost non-existent role on this offense means he's not even worth […]

Curtis Samuel Gets Rushing Touchdown

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Curtis Samuel ended Week 7 with one carry for five yards and a touchdown along with six receptions for 48 yards on six targets. Samuel contributed in both the rushing and passing game this week and continues to provide modest value on this offense. He has not posted more than 28 […]

Robby Anderson Gets 74 Yards

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Robby Anderson finished Week 7 with six receptions for 74 yards on eight targets. Anderson is continuing to prove his worth on this team in just his first year and now has at least 74 yards in six of seven games. He's in the starting tier each week given his decent […]

D.J. Moore Gets Two Touchdowns

Carolina Panthers wide receiver D.J. Moore finished Week 7 by leading the team with four receptions for 93 yards and two scores on five targets. It was an encouraging performance for Moore, who was seeing some of his targets being taken away by Robby Anderson. Nevertheless, the WR has a stable role in this unit […]

Mike Davis Struggles Against Saints

Carolina Panthers running back Mike Davis had his worst performance as a substitute in Week 7, finishing with seven carries for 12 yards and five receptions for 24 yards on five targets. Davis saw his lowest number of carries since taking over for Christian McCaffrey as well. Speaking of McCaffrey, the elite RB may return […]

Teddy Bridgewater Tosses For 254 Yards

Carolina Panthers quarterback Teddy Bridgewater finished Sunday's loss by going 23-for-28 for 254 yards and two touchdowns. It was a typical 2020 performance for the QB, but at least he threw for two touchdowns. Bridgewater has mostly put up modest performances this season and hasn't really had any breakout games. He's worth considering as a […]

Panthers 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 […]

Ian Thomas Not A Starting Option In Week 7

Carolina Panthers tight end Ian Thomas is well off the fantasy radar heading into Week 7. The TE has only gotten three receptions for 14 yards and a score on seven targets in the past three games. His role is simply not large enough for him to merit good fantasy value.

Curtis Samuel Not A Lock To Play In Week 7

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Curtis Samuel is currently dealing with a knee injury and his status for Week 7 remains unclear. Samuel also missed Week 6. The WR has offered very modest value in the passing and rushing game this season, getting no more than 51 receiving yards and 28 rushing yards in any contest. […]

D.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. Moore hasn't been the most productive receiver for Carolina this season as Robby Anderson has emerged into a top option. Nevertheless, Moore's role is still decent as he has seen at least four targets in each game. There […]

Robby Anderson A WR2 In Week 7

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Robby Anderson is a WR2 this week against New Orleans. Anderson has emerged as the top target for Teddy Bridgewater this season and already has three 100-yard games. He has also seen at least four receptions and five targets in all six games. Given the increasing rapport with Bridgewater along with […]

Mike Davis A Low-End RB1 In Week 7

Carolina Panthers running back Mike Davis is a low-end RB1 this week against the Saints. Davis is coming off a modest week in which he had 52 rushing yards and three receiving yards. Nevertheless, the volume is there in both the rushing and passing game, as he has seen at least 13 carries and anywhere […]

Teddy Bridgewater A QB2 In Week 7

Carolina Panthers quarterback Teddy Bridgewater is a QB2 for this week against the Saints. From a fantasy perspective, the QB has been mostly mediocre aside from Week 5 against the Falcons and overall has six passing touchdowns to five interceptions thus far. Though the Saints allow the fourth-most fantasy points to quarterbacks, Bridgewater hasn't proven […]
