Fantasy football is a weekly game and always has been.

But that's exactly what I'll attempt to do. No position is more volatile than running back and […]

Fantasy Football Trading Tips and Advice for Week 7: The Engel Eye

To me, one of the fun “assignments” for a fantasy football analyst is regularly providing advice on trade offers. I manage well over a dozen of my own teams, but I am not a frequent trader. I trade on as “as needed” basis, which means it is time to start pursuing deals when I have […]

Rams Defense Is A Great Option In Week 7

The Los Angeles Rams defense was rolling last week, and they can keep that momentum going in Week 7 against the Detroit Lions. Since scoring 33 points in Week 1, the Lions haven't scored more than 17 points in any of their next five games. They also have given up at least one turnover in […]

Matt Gay - Week 7 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Los Angeles Rams kicker Matt Gay has been quite consistent this year, and he remains a safe play in Week 7 against the Detroit Lions. Gay has made 31 of his 33 kicking attempts this year, and the only reason he doesn't get put higher in the weekly kicker rankings is because of his offense's […]

Tyler Higbee - Week 7 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee has been fading over the last few weeks, and he remains a TE2 option in Week 7 against the Detroit Lions. There are multiple fantasy tight ends that are out this week on bye, and that bumps up the viability of Higbee. Higbee has seen at least five […]

Darrell Henderson Jr. - Week 7 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Los Angeles Rams running back Darrell Henderson Jr. has been one of the most consistent running backs in fantasy football this season, and that consistency should continue in Week 7 against the Detroit Lions. In four complete games, Henderson has run for at least 70 yards and he's scored a touchdown in four out of […]

Matthew Stafford - Week 7 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford is the QB9 after six weeks, and he can easily move up the rankings in Week 7 against the Detroit Lions, where he spent the first 12 seasons of his career. Stafford is averaging over 300 yards and 2.7 passing touchdowns per game this season, and the Rams offense […]

Sony Michel Misses First Practice Of The Week

Los Angeles Rams running back Sony Michel (shoulder) didn't practice on Wednesday but is still expected to be able to play on Sunday against the winless Detroit Lions. Michel is the clear backup to Darrell Henderson Jr. in the Rams backfield, as he has 54 carries and five targets compared to Henderson's 81 rushing attempts […]
