Fleaflicker's Most Added and Dropped Players (Week 7)

Another week in the books fantasy football lovers and it’s the same old Tennessee Titans who cannot buy an offensive snap without Marcus Mariota being greeted with a defensive player in his face. As I was typing this he was sacked again. Mariota is only the 12th player in NFL history to take 11 sacks […]

NFL DFS Sleepers - Wide Receivers to Target in Week 7

We've reached that point in the year where teams are getting banged up, and whoever stays the healthiest playing a key role in virtually every matchup. Picking on the backups that precede starting defensive backs is a common strategy among DFS players, simply because it's a solid process. Fortunately, we have plenty of data to […]

Week 7 DraftKings Power Pivots - NFL DFS

Welcome back RotoBallers! We are getting into the thick of the NFL season as we prepare for Week 7. There are 10 games on the DraftKings main slate and unlike last week's Atlanta/TB matchup there doesn't seem to be a true "slam dunk" game to focus on. Outside of a select few guys, there doesn't […]

Week 7 DFS GPP Stacks For FanDuel And DraftKings

Hey there RotoBallers! Week 6's action didn't disappoint as the Falcons and Buccaneers combined to score 63 points while Todd Gurley's unreal run continued with an insane 208-yard, two-touchdown performance against the Broncos. Melvin Gordon, not to be outdone by Gurley, lit up the Browns for 132 yards and three touchdowns. If you didn't have […]

Red Zone Risers - Identifying Higher Fantasy Scoring Potential

Inside the Tent - Week 7 NFL Injury Insight

Everyone held a collective breath as they watched Cooper Kupp get horse-collared by a Broncos defender and had his left knee twisted awkwardly. Thankfully, he didn't tear any ligaments and was even able to come back and play in the second half after getting carted off the field. Devonta Freeman, Leonard Fournette, and Dalvin Cook […]

Keep Peyton Barber Benched Against Cleveland

Buccaneers running back Peyton Barber has been extremely unreliable this season. Despite getting the most snaps in the backfield, he has failed to produce all year up until last week. Barber only went off because Atlanta's defense has been exposable by running backs all season due to the barrage of injuries that have hit. Barber […]

DeSean Jackson,Chris Godwin Both Flex Options Sunday

Buccaneers wide receivers DeSean Jackson and Chris Godwin are both starting options this weekend against Cleveland. The Browns will be without cornerback E.J. Gaines and talented coverage linebacker Joe Schobert against Tampa, leaving their defense exposed to the pass. Jackson and Godwin share targets pretty evenly so they will both have their opportunities to produce […]

O.J. Howard in Play as TE1 Sunday

Buccaneers tight end O.J. Howard has been cementing himself in TE1 territory all year long with his various double-digit point games. This Sunday against Cleveland, he will have an opportunity to continue that trend as they will be short at linebacker and likely focusing their coverage on the talented Bucs' wide receivers. Howard is a […]

Mike Evans Likely To See a Lot of Denzel Ward Sunday

Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans is always a start given his elite status but he will have a tough matchup this weekend against rookie cornerback Denzel Ward. Evans massive height gives him a natural advantage over the undersized Ward but he will have a difficult time getting separation. Back-to-back duds by Evans shouldn't discourage his […]

Jameis Winston a Decent Starting Option Sunday

Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston is in play this weekend as a solid starting option. The Browns/Bucs game total has risen from 48 to 51 signifying that there should be some solid scoring going on in Tampa. The Browns have effectively shut opposing quarterbacks down at home this season but have been vulnerable on the road. […]

Ryan Griffin Ruled Out Against Jaguars

Houston Texans tight end Ryan Griffin (illness) has been ruled out for Week 7 against the Jaguars. Griffin has only 10 catches on 25 targets for 140 yards in six games, so he wasn't worth stashing on fantasy rosters to begin with. In his absence, rookies Jordan Akins and Jordan Thomas will handle the tight […]

Gerald McCoy, Vinny Curry Out In Week 7

Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive tackle Gerald McCoy (calf) and defensive end Vinny Curry (ankle) have both been ruled out for Week 7 against the Browns. Rookie defensive tackle Vita Vea will make his first NFL start in place of McCoy. For a Tampa defense that has struggled mightily this year, it won't help to be […]

O.J. Howard (TE, TB) - Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 53% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Jameis Winston loves to work with big targets down the field, and at 6-6 and 251 lbs., the former Crimson Tide tight end O.J. Howard qualifies as a heavyweight option. There are a few obvious competitors for work in the passing-game above Howard […]

Chris Godwin (WR, TB) - Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 44% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin has seen his ownership  rising as of Sunday afternoon but he warrants mentioning as he may be available in your league. Jameis Winston showed faith in his second-year receiver, targeting a team-high nine times (tied with DeSean Jackson) in Atlanta. Godwin […]

Peyton Barber (RB, TB) - Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN:  32% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Peyton Barber had been presented with the opportunity to become an unchallenged feature back during the Buccaneers' initial five contests, but his underwhelming results (148 yards/3.0 YPC/0 touchdowns) provided the potential for Ronald Jones to confiscate a sizable workload. […]
