Wide Receiver Matchups to Target in Week 7

The wide receiver matchup article from last week was a little underwhelming as most of the recommendations underperformed in great spots. On a positive note, Tyreek Hill (WR-12), Brandin Cooks (WR-19) and Ja'Marr Chase (WR-25) each had decent performances. On the downside, D.J. Moore (WR-38) had a whopping 13 targets but only snagged five of them for 73 yards […]

Week 7 Kicker Streamers and Starts – 2021 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

The Jaguars officially made their first field goal in Week 6 and I think it's important we acknowledge this feat. The season has not been easy for the Jaguars. It's been a grind, ya know? Urban Meyer is such a disaster. In fact, the word "disaster" doesn't even seem to sum it up properly. I […]

High-Upside Bench Stashes: Week 7

Injuries and the onset of bye weeks have stripped quite a few talented teams and their top players from lineup viability, making roster depth a necessity and no longer just a luxury. Five of the six teams with a Week 7 bye have at least a .500 record or better, meaning role players on less […]

Sneaky Starts, Pivot Plays and Post-Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 7

It might be Week 7, but that does not mean it is going to be a lucky week for fantasy footballers on the waiver wire. A half-dozen teams are on bye this week, which means 20 percent of the waiver wire crop cannot be picked since their teams will not be on the field. The […]

Ryan Succop - Week 7 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Tampa Bay Buccaneers kicker Ryan Succop is a solid starting option in Week 7. The kicker is a part of a high-powered offense and has gone 7-for-9 in field goals and 24-for-25 in extra points this season. Given he's on a team that can move up and down the field frequently, there will be plenty […]

Buccaneers Defense A Strong Start

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers defense is a solid start in Week 7 against rookie Justin Fields and the Chicago Bears. This unit has 12 sacks, seven picks, and three forced fumbles on the season. Despite the decimated secondary, this unit is the stingiest against the run in the entire NFL. With a strong defensive line […]

O.J. Howard - Week 7 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end O.J. Howard (ankle) is a low-end TE2, if active, in Week 7. Howard is nursing an ankle injury, but there is no indication he will sit out. Last week, the 26-year-old posted his best totals of the season with six receptions for 49 yards and a score on seven targets. This […]

Chris Godwin - Week 7 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin is a low-end WR1 option against the Bears in Week 7. Godwin has had a decent season thus far, posting at least 55 yards in five of six contests before posting a season-low 43 yards last week. Nevertheless, the WR has generally been consistent and his role has […]

After four straight contests with at least five receptions, eight targets, and 75 yards, Evans fell back down to earth in Week 6 with two receptions for 27 yards on four targets. Nevertheless, while last week was a slow week for […]

Leonard Fournette - Week 7 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Leonard Fournette is an RB1 against Chicago this week. Fournette has emerged as the clear RB1 for Tampa over Ronald Jones II. Lately, he has been on a tear.

Tom Brady - Week 7 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady is a QB1 against the Bears in Week 7.

Overall, the QB already has 2,064 yards with 17 touchdowns to only three picks. His arsenal of weapons has […]

Finding Tight End Breakouts - Champs, Chumps, and Contenders
