We Must Overreact Immediately! Week 7 Outliers

Week 7 seemed extremely fluky for fantasy football purposes. Devonta Freeman was ejected, and players like Will Fuller, Adam Thielen and Kerryon Johnson were both forced from their games very early on which hurt a lot of fantasy owners. The Rams wide receivers were supposed to light the world on fire against a Falcons secondary that […]

Deeper League Free Agent Pickups for Week 8

We're past the halfway point of the regular fantasy football season, which means you'd better start making some serious moves if you have any weaknesses in your roster.

Tragedy struck a few top quarterbacks this week, as both Patrick Mahomes and Matt Ryan left games with injuries.

T.J. Hockenson Disappoints Again In Week 7

Detroit Lions tight end T.J. Hockenson caught three of five targets for 32 yards in Sunday's loss to the Vikings. This was another disappointing performance for Hockenson and he really hasn't lived up to the standard he set in week 1. With Matt Stafford attempting 45 passes, you would have liked to have seen Hockenson […]

Kenny Golladay Held To One Catch In Week 7

Detroit Lions wide receiver Kenny Golladay caught just one of two targets for 21 yards in Sunday's loss to the Vikings. The game plan for the Vikings was clearly to lock Golladay down and they succeeded, but it is still a very disappointing game. Golladay has had two bust weeks this season while maintaining a […]

Marvin Jones Catches Four Touchdowns In Week 7

Detroit Lions wide receiver Marvin Jones had a monster game in week 7, catching 10 of 13 targets for 93 yards and four touchdowns against the Vikings. As great as this game was for Jones, expectations should be tempered. The Vikings plan was clearly to lock Kenny Golladay down and they succeeded, holding him to […]

Matthew Stafford Goes Wild In Thrilling Loss

Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford did all he could against the Vikings Sunday, throwing for 364 yards and four scores with one interception, but it was ultimately not enough to get the win. The Lions Defense wasn't able to give Stafford a chance to win this game, giving up a huge play to Stefon Diggs […]

Kerryon Johnson, Darius Slay Questionable To Return

Detroit Lions running back Kerryon Johnson (knee), cornerback Darius Slay (hamstring) and defensive tackle Damon Harrison (undisclosed) were all injured in Week 7 against the Vikings and are questionable to return. Johnson left in the second quarter and was later seen on the sidelines with a brace on his right knee, so his day is […]

Kerryon Johnson A Mid-Range RB2 In Tough Week 7 Matchup

Detroit Lions running back Kerryon Johnson was given the keys to the Lions backfield but has yet to impress fantasy owners who spent an early-round draft pick on the 22-year-old. Johnson is averaging a measly 3.3 YPC and has seen just 13 targets through the air over five games. Disappointing to say the least. Johnson […]

T.J. Hockenson Not A Recommended Week 7 Start

Detroit Lions rookie tight end T.J. Hockenson has amassed just 56 yards and one score since putting the NFL on notice with a monster Week 1 performance, and with a stingy Vikings secondary coming to town in Week 7, fantasy owners would be smart to look elsewhere to fill their TE spot. Hockenson has seen […]

Marvin Jones A Boom-Or-Bust WR4 In Week 7

Detroit Lions wide receiver Marvin Jones will have his hands full in Week 7 with a tough matchup against the Minnesota Vikings on deck.

Kenny Golladay Faces Stingy Secondary In Week 7

Detroit Lions wide receiver Kenny Golladay is coming off a very solid performance against the Green Bay Packers on Monday Night Football in Week 6, but fantasy owners may want to temper expectations with the Minnesota Vikings coming to town in Week 7. The Vikings have allowed just one 100-yard receiver through the first six […]

Matthew Stafford A Mid-Tier QB2 In Week 7

Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford faces a tough test in Week 7 with a stout Minnesota Vikings secondary coming to town.
