NFL Survivor Pool Picks (Week 7) - Targets and Avoids

Week 6 wrapped up with the Green Bay Packers giving survivor entries a huge scare. It looked like the Packers were done. Their defense was so bad allowing 7.3 yards per play, yet Aaron Rodgers did it again. He should win the MVP. For those of you saying Pat Mahomes should win, they were a […]

NFL DFS Sleepers - Wide Receivers to Target in Week 7

We've reached that point in the year where teams are getting banged up, and whoever stays the healthiest playing a key role in virtually every matchup.

Week 7 DFS GPP Stacks For FanDuel And DraftKings

Hey there RotoBallers! Week 6's action didn't disappoint as the Falcons and Buccaneers combined to score 63 points while Todd Gurley's unreal run continued with an insane 208-yard, two-touchdown performance against the Broncos.

Inside the Tent - Week 7 NFL Injury Insight

Everyone held a collective breath as they watched Cooper Kupp get horse-collared by a Broncos defender and had his left knee twisted awkwardly.

C.J. Anderson A Forgotten Man

Carolina Panthers running back C.J. Anderson entered Week 6 against the Redskins playing just 30 offensive snaps through four games. He played just one offensive snap against Washington. Anderson has only 16 carries for 84 yards on the year and has caught one pass for a 24-yard touchdown. He's merely a handcuff for Christian McCaffrey […]

Panthers Being Cautious With Greg Olsen

Carolina Panthers tight end Greg Olsen (foot) was limited in practice on Wednesday, and head coach Ron Rivera said it's the new normal for the veteran tight end after he re-fractured his foot in the season opener. Don't be surprised to see Olsen sit out of practices early in the week either. He had four […]

D.J. Moore Shouldn't Be Started This Week

Carolina Panthers wide receiver D.J. Moore has taken steps forward over the past few weeks to carve his role out in the Panthers offense, but he shouldn't yet be considered a starter in most fantasy leagues. The matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles has been a good one for wide receivers so far this season but […]

Devin Funchess A Borderline WR2 This Week

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Devin Funchess is a borderline WR2 this week. Funchess was impressive against the Washington Redskins and now comes up against a team that has struggled against pass catchers this season. The Eagles currently give up the 7th most points to the position, and the Panthers will look to exploit that with […]

Greg Olsen To Build On His Return From Injury

Carolina Panthers tight end Greg Olsen will be looking to build on his return from injury against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 7. While the Eagles are one of the better teams thus far against the position this season they are yet to go up against one that is as talented as Olsen. Olsen had […]

Christian McCaffrey Could Struggle This Week

Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey could find things a bit of a struggle this week against the Philadelphia Eagles. McCaffrey has not been the same player he was before his bye week, and he could struggle against a team that has only given up two rushing touchdowns all season and ranks as the team […]

Cam Newton With Good Chance To Bounce Back Against Eagles

Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton has a good chance to bounce back from his display against the Washington Redskins in his Week 7 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles. The Eagles haven't looked quite the same team that they were last year, and currently, rank around the middle of the NFL in points allowed per game […]

Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups - All Positions

Last week it was the vulture, this week it's the no-names. The phrase "that doesn't help anybody" is well-known by fantasy owners and was uttered repeatedly in Week 7. We saw touchdowns from Marcus Johnson, David Moore, Jaron Brown, Paul Richardson, Ito Smith, Erik Swoope, Chris Herndon IV, and Nick O'Leary. That was just in […]

Week 7 Kicker Streamers and Starts - 2018 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

Week 7 is upon us, and the NFL kickers remain as impossible as ever to predict. A week after finishing third among kickers, Tenessee Titans kicker Ryan Succop finished with zero points. New York Jets kicker Jason Myers finished as a top-20 scorer among all players in most formats this week. There are some juicy […]

Thursday Night Football Matchups Analysis - Week 7

The last Thursday Night Football battle featuring two NFC East squads was clearly a one-sided affair. The Philadelphia Eagles completely outpaced the New York Giants in a game where quarterback Carson Wentz threw for three touchdowns, including two to wide receiver Alshon Jeffery, and new lead rusher Corey Clement managed to punch in a touchdown […]

Rookie Worth Your Attention In Week 7

Each week, we will look at rookies who have either performed well the previous few weeks or who have a favorable matchup in the upcoming week. These may be high-profile names or under-the-radar depth players; the only thing that matters is that they are first-year pros ready to make a name for themselves. Ideally, some […]

Greg Olsen Returns For The Panthers

Carolina Panthers tight end Greg Olsen returned from his injury layoff in a promising return against the Washington Redskins. Olsen finished the game with 48 yards from four receptions, which would have placed him outside the top twelve of the position this coming week. However, it is worth noting that all bar five of the […]

Torrey Smith Produces Against Redskins

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Torrey Smith returned to his boom-or-bust ways this season, scoring a touchdown early in the game against the Washington Redskins. Smith ended the game with 43 yards from five receptions and converted a two-point attempt. While Smith has had a game like this already this season against the Atlanta Falcons in […]

D.J. Moore Starting To Carve Out Role

Carolina Panthers rookie wide receiver D.J. Moore had a quiet start to the season, but coming off the bye week in Week 4 he had a decent showing against the New York Giants, following that up with another performance against the Washington Redskins. Moore ended the game with 18 yards on the ground, added to […]

Devin Funchess Has Decent Game Against Redskins

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Devin Funchess had a decent showing against the Washington Redskins in Week 6. Funchess finished the game with an impressive box score of 74 yards and a touchdown from five receptions. Funchess also had eight targets, tied with running back Christian McCaffrey as the team's leaders in looks from quarterback Cam […]

Christian McCaffrey Disappoints In Loss To Redskins

Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey coming into this game looked like a great play for fantasy owners, especially in PPR leagues. However, the Redskins were able to pin him to his lowest output this season. McCaffrey finished the game with only 20 rushing yards from eight attempts, and wasn't able to get too much […]

Cam Newton Loses Close Game In Washington

Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton was unable to do enough to win his Week 6 matchup against the Washington Redskins. Newton finished the game with 27 passing completions from 40 attempts for two touchdowns and interception, which would have been a middling fantasy performance, however, his 43 yards rushing and early two-point conversion meant his […]

Panthers Chose Not To Bench D.J. Moore

Carolina Panthers head coach Ron Rivera chose not to bench rookie wide receiver/punt returner D.J. Moore in Week 6 against the Redskins after he lost two costly fumbles in the loss. “We’re trying to develop a football team,” Rivera said. “I’m not too concerned about punishing players for making mistakes as much as we are […]

Greg Olsen Playing Against Redskins

Carolina Panthers tight end Greg Olsen (foot) is active for Week 6 against the Redskins. It'll be his first game since re-fracturing his foot in the season opener.
