D'Andre Swift Not Expected To Play In Week 7

Detroit Lions running back D'Andre Swift (ankle, shoulder) is expected to be inactive for Sunday's game against the Dallas Cowboys, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. The 23-year-old hasn't played since Week 3, but he looked great through three games, registering 231 rushing yards, 77 receiving yards, and two touchdowns. With Swift sidelined for at […]

Is D'Andre Swift Hurt or Healthy? Is D'Andre Swift Playing in Week 7 for Fantasy Football?

Detroit Lions running back D'Andre Swift entered 2022 with a lot of hype. His ADP in PPR leagues was the RB9, making him a common selection in rounds one and two. Fantasy managers expected him to produce at a level that merited such a lofty draft slot. Unfortunately, Swift has not been able to deliver. […]

Booms and Busts: Week 7 Fantasy Football Studs and Duds Including Romeo Doubs, Josh Jacobs, David Montgomery, T.J. Hockenson

It happens every year in fantasy when there comes a time when the injuries begin to mount, causing undervalued players to emerge. That was the case in Week 7 when you scrolled through the leaderboards at each position. Sitting atop the running back list for the week, we saw waiver wire wonder Deon Jackson take […]

Week 7 Defense (DEF) Streamers and Starts - 2022 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

There are some weeks in the NFL season that you simply can't overreact to, and Week 6 was absolutely one of them.

When it comes to fantasy football defenses, the […]

Michael Badgley Elevated From Practice Squad

Detroit Lions kicker Michael Badgley has been elevated from the practice squad ahead of Week 7 against the Dallas Cowboys. Badgley kicked for the Chicago Bears three weeks ago, going 4-for-4, but he was held off the scoreboard during his Lions debut the week after. Clearly, Badgley has been bouncing around and is looking to […]

DJ Chark Headed To Injured Reserve

The Detroit Lions have placed wide receiver DJ Chark (ankle) on Injured Reserve. Chark is dealing with an ankle injury that has kept him sidelined for the past three weeks. Amon-Ra St. Brown now seems to be fully healthy coming out of the team's Week 6 bye and Josh Reynolds (knee), although questionable to suit […]

DJ Chark Officially Ruled Out For Week 7

Detroit Lions wide receiver DJ Chark (ankle) has officially been ruled out for Week 7 against the Dallas Cowboys. Last week's bye apparently wasn't enough to get Chark back onto the field, so his next chance to play for Detroit will come in Week 8 against the Miami Dolphins. The 26-year-old hasn't played since Week […]

Kalif Raymond Could Have Role In Week 7

Detroit Lions wide receiver Kalif Raymond will have a larger role in the offense if Josh Reynolds (knee) is ruled out for Sunday's game against the Dallas Cowboys. D.J. Chark (ankle) has already been ruled out, so Raymond would serve as the team's No. 2 wide receiver. Even if Reynolds does play, Raymond has value […]

Jamaal Williams A Solid Flex Play Against Cowboys

Detroit Lions running back Jamaal Williams is a high-end flex play, even if D'Andre Swift (ankle, shoulder) returns to the lineup. If Swift is out, Williams has RB1 upside as the workhorse running back in one of the league's top offenses. The Dallas Cowboys are a top-six defense against fantasy running backs, but Williams gets […]

Amon-Ra St. Brown Has WR1 Ceiling

Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle) practiced in full this week and is off of the Lions' injury report. St. Brown has flashed his ceiling this season but was hampered by an ankle injury that slowed his production. After a bye week, he should be fresh and ready to go. His outlook should […]

D'Andre Swift, Josh Reynolds Questionable Against Dallas

Detroit Lions running back D'Andre Swift (ankle, shoulder) and wide receiver Josh Reynolds (knee) are both listed as questionable for Week 7 against the Dallas Cowboys. Swift said earlier this week that he was pushing towards returning for the first time since Week 3, and if he does, he'll likely split touches with backfield mate […]

Fantasy Football Warning Signals for Week 7: Jared Goff, J.K. Dobbins, D.J. Moore

With injuries and middling performances ravaging fantasy teams to start the season, it's okay to consider benching players who were relatively highly drafted (top-100) for this week and moving forward. This may be hard to stomach as you bench your QB1 or RB1 for a free-agent acquisition, but sometimes such measures must be taken to […]

Wide Receiver Snap Counts and Target Trends - Risers and Fallers for Week 7 (2022)

Finding Tight End Breakouts for Fantasy Football – Cracking the Code for Week 7

Tight end is a dreadful, empty position and because of that, I understand – to some extent – the appeal and rush to get Taysom Hill on your fantasy rosters after his Week 5 explosion. However, as appealing as those boom weeks are, the reality is he’s simply not playing enough. We touched on that […]

Fantasy Football Trade Targets - Buy/Sell For Week 7

The first third of the 2022 season is in the books. Bye weeks are now in full swing and your bench is probably filled with injured players. Trade rumors swirl around the league as November rapidly approaches. Just like NFL teams looking to make a run at a title, it's time for you to make […]

Lions Defense Among Worst Plays For Week 7

The Detroit Lions fantasy defense/special teams unit is one of the worst in the NFL, and with quarterback Dak Prescott (thumb) coming back for the Dallas Cowboys, this is far from a favorable matchup. Detroit's defense is far off the fantasy radar, so this shouldn't have significance for many fantasy managers.

T.J. Hockenson A Must-Start In Week 7

Detroit Lions tight end T.J. Hockenson should be viewed as a must-start tight end after his ceiling performance in Week 4 against the Seattle Seahawks. Tight end is a tough position to navigate, so any player capable of putting up north of 150 yards is enticing. The Dallas Cowboys have been stingy against the position […]

Jared Goff A High-End QB2 In Week 7

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff was embarrassed by the New England Patriots in Week 5, but after a bye week, several key Lions' weapons should be healthier. Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle), while D'Andre Swift (shoulder/ankle) participated in a limited fashion. Josh Reynolds (knee) and D.J. Chark (knee) have not practiced this week, though. If St. […]
