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. We had the 49ers losing to Atlanta, Tampa Bay losing to Pittsburgh, the Ravens blowing another fourth-quarter lead, and Bailey Zappe setting NFL rookie records. When it comes to fantasy football defenses, the […]

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

A near total survivor doomsday. Three of the top four most selected teams on average in pools, Bucs, Packers, Niners, all went down. The top selected team in most pools, the Rams, were a half away from knocking many contests to less than 100 entrants. This year keeps getting worse and worse for favorites. Strategies […]

Week 7 Kicker Streamers and Starts - 2022 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

Fantasy Football Injury Reports for TEs: Darren Waller, Mark Andrews, Hayden Hurst, Dalton Schultz, Logan Thomas, Cameron Brate

Week 7 is here, and with the Rams, Eagles, Bills, and Vikings on a bye, the tight end position is scarce. Injuries will make start-or-sit decisions even tougher. These are the latest injury updates as of Friday, October 21 for tight ends Darren Waller, Mark Andrews, Hayden Hurst, Dalton Schultz, Logan Thomas, and Cameron Brate. […]

After a Week 6 schedule that featured a Kansas City vs Buffalo matchup that loomed […]

Is Jeff Wilson Jr. Fantasy Relevant After the Christian McCaffrey Trade? Should I Hold Jeff Wilson or Start Him?

The 49ers' trade for Christian McCaffery returns Jeff Wilson Jr. to the role he had at the beginning of the season: a backup RB with almost no fantasy value. Wilson has done a fine job of filling in for Elijah Mitchell after the Niners RB1 got injured shortly into the first game of the season., […]

Chiefs Defense Has Fantasy Question Marks For Week 7

The Kansas City Chiefs defense is in a weird spot heading into Sunday's contest against the 49ers, largely because the status of new 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey is uncertain. The Chiefs rank 25th in scoring defense, so adding a player like McCaffrey to the 49ers offense probably pushes the Chiefs defense out of playable […]

Harrison Butker A Strong Kicking Option In Week 7

Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker returned in Week 6 from his ankle injury and went 2-for-3 on field goals and 2-for-2 on extra points. He might not get as many opportunities to kick this week against a strong 49ers defense, but he should get enough chances to be considered a starting fantasy kicker for […]

Marquez Valdes-Scantling A Risky Fantasy Option Against Niners

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling is coming off of his worst game of the season last week, as he failed to bring in any of his three targets. The former Packer has still yet to find the end zone since joining KC, and he's had just one game with more than four receptions. […]

Mecole Hardman A Risky Week 7 Play

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Mecole Hardman will be tough for fantasy managers to trust heading into Sunday's Week 7 contest against the San Francisco 49ers. Hardman found the end zone last week against the Bills, but he's also had two games with under 10 yards this season. He'll have some more good weeks in […]

JuJu Smith-Schuster A WR3 Play For Week 7

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster is coming off his best game as a Chief in Week 6 against the Bills, catching his first touchdown of the season and finishing with 113 yards. It will be tough for Smith-Schuster to repeat that against the 49ers this week though, as they've boasted one of the […]

Clyde Edwards-Helaire Has Tough Week 7 Matchup

Kansas City Chiefs running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire has taken a major drop in fantasy production over the last two weeks, posting consecutive games with single-digit fantasy points after looking like a borderline RB1 over the first four games. Edwards-Helaire will try to get back on track this week, but it's likely going to be tough […]

Travis Kelce An Elite Fantasy Option For Week 7

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce has either 100 yards or a touchdown in all but one game this season and has been one of two tight ends to consistently post top five numbers this season. Heading into Week 7's game against the 49ers, Kelce should be considered a matchup-proof top play. He has […]

Patrick Mahomes A Must-Start Despite Bad Matchup

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes should be in your fantasy lineup every week, but there is a slight reason to be concerned this week when the Chiefs take on the 49ers. The 49ers allow the sixth-fewest fantasy points per game to opposing quarterbacks, in part because they're one of three teams to give up […]

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

Should I Pick Up Evan Engram For Fantasy Football Week 7? Waiver Wire Outlook

Evan Engram was an under-the-radar addition for the Jacksonville Jaguars this offseason after an up-and-down tenure with the New York Giants. He immediately slotted in as the TE1 for the Jags, who have been lacking in that position in recent years. (Yes, this includes Tim Tebow). Through six games, Engram has caught 19-of-26 targets for […]

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.

Week 7 IDP Start Em, Sit Em - Streamers and Fades for Fantasy Football Defensive Players

According to many, this week is yet another “Bye-mageddon” for fantasy managers, and it’s hard to argue against that point. With the Bills, Rams, Vikings, and Eagles all on sabbatical, there is no doubt fantasy managers are losing a ton of talent to vacation this week. That means every league will be without the two […]
