Jimmy Garoppolo A Possible QB1 In Week 7

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo has a home game against the spotty Kansas City Chiefs pass defense in Week 7.

Jimmy Garoppolo has finished as a top 12 fantasy quarterback the past two weeks, and he has […]

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray completed 20 of- 29 passes for 204 yards and a touchdown in the team's Thursday night win over the Saints. Murray added six carries for 31 yards, which helped his limited touchdown production in this one, but all in all, it was a mediocre performance from the dual-threat QB. With […]

San Francisco 49ers All-Pro left tackle Trent Williams (ankle) thinks he will play in Week 7 against the Kansas City Chiefs. Williams has returned to practice this week after suffering a high-ankle sprain in Week 3. The 34-year-old veteran is trending in the right direction, but he's still not a lock to return this Sunday […]

Andy Dalton Could Remain Saints Starter Moving Forward

New Orleans Saints quarterback Andy Dalton could remain the team's starter moving forward. According to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network, "there is a real chance" Dalton remains the Saints starter; his "calming influence" could help keep the starting gig over Jameis Winston. Dalton was named the team's starter for Week 7 against the Arizona […]

Tom Brady Remains A Strong Option Against The Panthers

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady draws a favorable matchup against the Carolina Panthers in Week 7. Carolina ranks 26th in pass DVOA and 20th against opposing quarterbacks this season.

Welcome back, RotoBallers! We're back at it again with some Week 7 Thursday Night Football DFS lineups. We had another ugly Thursday night game last week, but I do think tonight could be different.

Saints vs. Cardinals Start 'Em, Sit 'Em: Kyler Murray, Alvin Kamara, James Conner, Chris Olave, Zach Ertz, DeAndre Hopkins

Last week was wild. The NFL kept us on our toes with plenty of large upsets that resulted in some surprising fantasy stars.

Derek Carr A Back-End QB1 in Week 7

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Derek Carr will look to put together a QB1 performance against the Houston Texans in Week 7. The Texans don't appear to be a great matchup on paper, having only allowed 4 passing touchdowns this season. It is safe to attribute that to both their opponents as well as the lack […]

Lamar Jackson Gets In Full Practice Session

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (hip) was a full participant during Thursday's practice. The 25-year-old was limited during Wednesday's practice, but was never expected to miss Week 7. The expectation is that he'll be fully healthy for the upcoming matchup with the Cleveland Browns. Fantasy managers should consider Jackson an elite QB1 for this upcoming […]

Jacoby Brissett A QB2 Vs. Baltimore

Cleveland Browns quarterback Jacoby Brissett will look to help his team snap a three-game losing streak when they go on the road to face the Baltimore Ravens in Week 7. Brissett has been struggling of late, having thrown two touchdowns and four interceptions over his past three contests. He has a chance to bounce back […]

Aaron Rodgers Back On The Practice Field

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (thumb) returned to a full practice on Thursday and appeared to have a similar tape job on his right thumb as last week.

Dak Prescott Says He's Playing In Week 7

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott (thumb), who put in another full practice on Thursday, said he is starting in Week 7 against the Detroit Lions and won't wear a brace on his surgically repaired finger.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady doesn't plan on retiring during the middle of the 2022 season. "No retirement in my future," Brady said.

Zach Wilson Not A Fantasy Starter In Week 7

New York Jets quarterback Zach Wilson has done an excellent job at leading the Jets since returning from his knee injury to start the season. That does not mean he's been of any value to fantasy managers, however. The Jets offense has been a run-first, run-second, and sometimes even run-third unit, with Wilson averaging under […]

Broncos Preparing Brett Rypien Just In Case

Denver Broncos backup quarterback Brett Rypien took most of the walkthrough repetitions at practice on Wednesday, according to sources. It doesn't mean that Russell Wilson (hamstring) won't start in Week 7 against the New York Jets, it just means that the Broncos are getting Rypien ready just in case Wilson cannot go on Sunday. Rypien […]

Mac Jones Will Start When Healthy

The New England Patriots don't have any quarterback controversy.

And it could come as early as Monday night against the Chicago Bears. Fourth-round rookie Bailey Zappe has […]

Coaching Matters: Offensive Outliers From Week 6

This is the sixth week of this series where I dive into offensive areas that will improve or decline based on past coaching trends in order to glean insight as to fantasy football value.

New Orleans Saints quarterback Andy Dalton (back) will likely make his fourth consecutive start against the Arizona Cardinals Thursday night.

Mac Jones Feeling 85-90 Percent Healthy

New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones (ankle) is reportedly back to feeling 85 to 90 percent as far as his health goes. The second-year quarterback is also reportedly willing to play through injury. At this point, it doesn't seem like the Patriots would bring back Jones unless he is 100 percent healthy. Rookie quarterback Bailey […]

Sam Darnold Designated To Return From IR

The Carolina Panthers designated quarterback Sam Darnold (ankle) to return from Injured Reserve on Wednesday. Darnold reportedly looked good in his return to practice on Wednesday, but he won't play in Week 7 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and the Panthers now have 21 days to officially activate him from IR. With Baker Mayfield (ankle) […]

Baker Mayfield Doesn't Practice On Wednesday

Carolina Panthers quarterback Baker Mayfield (ankle) didn't practice on Wednesday. While he was seen recently without a walking boot, his absence from practice isn't an encouraging sign regarding his availability for Week 7 against the Buccaneers. Fantasy managers should prepare for P.J. Walker to make his second consecutive start. The 27-year-old threw 60 yards of […]
