Robert Woods Has A Brutal Matchup In Week 7

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Robert Woods has played well to start the year, as he's the WR10 through six weeks, but his matchup for Week 7 against the Chicago Bears is going to make things very difficult to maintain that pace. The Bears are allowing just 17.4 points per game to fantasy receivers, and […]

Cooper Kupp Could Struggle In Week 7

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp had a down game in Week 6, and it looks like those struggles could continue in Week 7 against the Chicago Bears. The Bears are allowing just 17.4 points per game to the wide receiver position, and their cornerbacks are playing lights-out. The one advantage that Kupp may […]

Darrell Henderson Jr. Is A Flex Option In Week 7

Los Angeles Rams running back Darrell Henderson will be looking to bounce back in Week 7 against the Chicago Bears after a decent performance in Week 6, but it won't be that easy. The Bears are tied for 10th in fewest fantasy points allowed to the running back position, and Henderson remains in a crowded […]

Jared Goff Has A Tough Matchup In Week 7

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff has been a low-end QB1 for the majority of the season, but that is not the case in Week 7 against the Chicago Bears. The Bears Defense has been playing lights-out football through the first six weeks of the season, and they haven't shown signs of slowing down. They're […]

NextGen Stats - Quarterback Breakdowns and Takeaways

It's been a month since the last time we took a look at our beloved quarterbacks. Numbers are numbers, and numbers don't lie. You can twist them, but looking at them objectively, numbers say that no matter what, rushing the ball is almost always a worse option than passing it in today's game. That's why […]

Fantasy Football Risers and Fallers - Week 7

Whether due to their own play, the play of others, or injuries, players' stock increases and decreases on a weekly basis.

[…]

Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds

Week 6 was like the 2020 of fantasy football weeks. All those great matchups meant nothing, those studs let you down, and your bench likely went crazy. The good news is that we didn't have any season-ending injuries to running backs or games canceled due to COVID, so in retrospect maybe we shouldn't complain. The […]

Waiver Wire Express - Week 7 Lightning Round

Week 6 was relatively healthy and had no coronavirus delays, so let's just take a moment to bask in that. That said, we still saw Miles Sanders (knee) and Zach Ertz (ankle) go down, while Mark Ingram (ankle) has a bye to get healthy. Week 7 byes are Baltimore, Indianapolis, Miami, and Minnesota. Let's get […]

Tight End Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 7

Rams Sign Kai Forbath

The Los Angeles Rams signed kicker Kai Forbath on Tuesday. Forbath was cut by the Cowboys earlier this year and hasn't kicked at all in 2020.

George Kittle […]

Samuel Sloman Is Quiet Again In Week 6

Los Angeles Rams kicker Samuel Sloman just couldn't get things going in Week 6 as his offense sputtered mightily against the San Francisco 49ers in their 24-16 loss. He went 1-for-1 on field goals and 1-for-1 on extra points. Kickers need their offenses to move the ball and take care of the ball. Unfortunately for […]

Rams Defense Disappoints In Week 6

The Los Angeles Rams Defense came into Week 6 rolling after several strong performances this season, but they were beat by the San Francisco 49ers on the road.

Tyler Higbee Shows Some Life In Week 6

Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee is still struggling to recapture his form from late last season, but he showed some life in the team's Week 6 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. He caught three of his four targets for 56 yards, which led the team on the night. After you invested some […]

Josh Reynolds Gets Into The End Zone In Week 6

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Josh Reynolds is clearly the third option in his team's receiver room, but he was able to turn in a decent fantasy performance in Week 6 against the San Francisco 49ers. He caught two of his five targets for 49 yards and a touchdown late in the game. Reynolds is […]

Cooper Kupp Struggles Mightily In Week 6

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp has been one of the NFL's best wide receivers since he entered the league, but that was not the case in the team's Week 6 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. He caught just three of his nine targets for 11 yards. Kupp has generally been at least […]

Robert Woods Gets Into The End Zone In Week 6

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Robert Woods wasn't super efficient in the team's Week 6 loss to the San Francisco 49ers, but he managed to finish with a solid fantasy outing. He caught four of his 10 targets for 29 yards and a touchdown. He also had two carries for 11 yards. This entire offense […]

Cam Akers Sees No Work In Week 6

Los Angeles Rams rookie running back Cam Akers is likely looking to have a conversation with his head coach after the team's Week 6 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. After Week 5, Sean McVay had stated that he had plans to get Akers more involved in the offense, but he finished the loss with […]

Darrell Henderson Jr. Fails To Score In Week 6

Los Angeles Rams running back Darrell Henderson was effective in his lead-back role in Week 6 against the San Francisco 49ers, but it was a below-average day for fantasy purposes. He finished with 14 carries for 88 yards, but he wasn't able to score a touchdown or get any work in the receiving game. Despite […]

Jared Goff Struggles To Quiet Night In Week 6

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff was looking to carry his team to a win in Week 6 over the San Francisco 49ers, but it was not meant to be. He finished the game 19 of 38 for 198 yards with two touchdowns and an interception. This Rams offense just couldn't get anything clicking against […]

Week 6 Defense (DEF) Streamers and Starts - 2020 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

I was riding high after predicting eight out of the top ten defenses two weeks ago, but we saw some craziness this Sunday (along with some top tier defenses postponed or canceled), which caused only a 50% success rate in identifying top-10 units. Miami throttling San Francisco was truly a surprise, as was a Kansas […]
