Preview of the week 7
Looking for programming tips? You have arrived at the right place. First, go through each game of the schedule here to find out who Dave is and sit for the 32 teams, then use his cheat sheets – for PPR leagues here, and for non PPR leagues here – to lock the good players.
Broncos at Cardinals
Sit him
Thomas has scored a touchdown and more than 11 points in Fantasy in each of his last two games, but faces one of the toughest challenges of the season. With the help of cornerback Patrick Peterson, the Cardinals allowed 80 yards and more to only three receivers in six games, and the only outsiders who scored in Denver were slotbacker Josh Bynes. Expect to see a lot of Peterson on Thomas, ruining his chances for a touchdown and therefore a big game.
Start it
Sneaky Sleeper
Since Vance Joseph's proclamation that Freeman "needs more opportunities" two weeks ago, he played 38% of the catch and scored 14 passes for 53 yards with three catches for 16 yards. Phillip Lindsay? Although he played 34% against the Jets and Rams, he went for 79 rushing yards in 16 carries and 68 yards in nine shots. It's true – Lindsay is doing more with less clichés, and this is improving: in the past two games, Freeman has played four shots in the red zone against Lindsay's 15! It's not really a bad match, but Lindsay is more likely to get more yards than Freeman. Freeman's hopes rest on the goal-zone hunt, which is not uncommon with the Cardinals' defense.
Titans vs Chargers
Risky starter
The Titans rank seventh in the Fantasy points allowed to oppose shifts, but that has a lot to do with who they played. Blake Bortles and Josh Allen failed to make several touchdowns just like Joe Flacco last week. Rivers is better than this group but could again suffer from a poor statistical line as it might not to have throw for a ton of distance. It could be a week when Melvin Gordon is doing heavy work again. Rivers has had 30 or fewer attempts with less than 260 yards in four of his last five games.
Risky starter
If the Chargers face another match without throwing the ball a ton, Allen will not play again without a big game. He had 10 Fantasy points in non-PPR last week, thanks to 41 rushing yards, something you can not count on. Allen recorded the most points since Week 1 (16). And while the Titans were brittle against the receivers, it was their outside half-corners that allowed each of their seven touchdowns, none by Logan Ryan (who plays to see as many of Allen's on Sunday). Allen would be too late for an important game, but it may take two more weeks to see him. It is much less risky in PPR for a reason of 7.2 catches per game.
Risky starter
What's more disappointing last week: the six points of Austin Ekeler in Fantasy or his eight keys in a dazzling victory? One could think in such a defeat that the Chargers would give Ekeler more keys in lost time, but no. He regularly gets about 35% of shots per game, regardless of the script. Too bad because the Chargers should build a lead over the Titans in London. The result of the week 6 shows how flexible it is, especially without super-advantage, since it has not managed to accumulate more than 11 Fantasy points (non-PPR) since the first week.
Texans at Jaguars
Sit him
You may think that Watson could replicate what Dak Prescott did last week against the Jags, but Prescott had the advantage of a better offensive line and a much better home match at the House. None of these things are in favor of Watson. Last week was also Watson's first game where he did not run for the distance, a potential sign that the team does not want to risk taking a whip outside the pocket. Watson's receiving body is about the only advantage of Watson, which is deep enough to at least challenge the Jaguars. Trust the Texans who try to get the ball out quickly to counter the precipitation of the Jaguars. This hurts Watson's potential for deeper scores. It's easily his toughest game of the year (he will not play against the Jags before the 17th week) and could easily give rise to another line of ugly statistics. Try to find a better, safer option.
Sit him
You will start DeAndre Hopkins because he's really great. You will consider Keke Coutee because his work on the slot machine will bring him a lot of fast goals from Watson. Fuller? It has not had big numbers for two weeks, so you might be afraid to start it. But it's not because of his hamstrings – he was still running high last week and almost had a long touch, if it was not for Watson's reversal. The Jaguars have handled the game of deep passes all season long. Only Odell Beckham scored more than 100 yards under his belt and 15 targets helped him. Fuller has officially three targets in each of his last two games (11 of his last three games). It is too risky to trust Fuller because of his plunge into production, which coincides with the arrival of Coutee.
Sit him
Statistics indicate that the Texans' pass defense has improved over the past two weeks. The NFL schedule indicates that the Texans have faced the two largest groups of footballers to receive, Dallas and Buffalo. Nevertheless, Houston's biggest defensive liabilities have been his perimeter-shifters, not the slot (recently handled by Kareem Jackson). That's bad news for Westbrook, who has played 90% of its catches this season in the slot. Westbrook scored last week but has just nine Fantasy points in non-PPR (12 in PPR) and has only hit six or less in all but one this season. Keelan Cole was a dud, but at least he has the best game of the week – and all of that, it's that Blake Bortles is not spoiled by the quarterback.
Panthers in Eagles
Start it
Each of the last four quarters to play against the Panthers has accumulated at least two touchdowns, three of them squeezing on their tight end. Wentz has had many passovers in three straight games, and Zach Ertz is one of his regular readings. Attack a secondary suspect for the Panthers to face Eagles receivers (expect the Eagles to test rookie corner Donte Jackson), and Wentz should waltz for another outing with at least 23 Fantasy points.
Vikings at Jets
Sit him
Yes, an offensive midfielder scored on the Vikings in three consecutive games (two by receptions). Yes, Crowell is the most likely of the returning Jets. But no, it is unlikely that the game will be close or even in favor of the Jets, given the defensive commitments of New York. Even last week, we saw the Jets play with the front, and Crowell did not even lead the team wearing. The Vikings are not very effective at covering the back halfbacks, but they keep the opposing riders at 3.8 yards per run with an authorized touchdown this season. Crowell is not worth starting, except to replace the following week.
Patriots at Bears
Sit him
It's not like it's a bad game for Edelman – it's just a better match for all the other Patriots players. The size and speed of Josh Gordon should make things more difficult in Chicago's outside turns, and the Bears have no good answer for Rob Gronkowski (they have been awful against tight ends this year). Between the corner of the slot machine Bryce Callahan and their linebackers, they will have a better way to cover Edelman. In addition, the game of patriots is on fire. The Chicago defense has not held up well against the receivers, which Edelman is not considered at this stage of his career. This is a safer PPR choice, but still a low-end option # 2, even at that time.
Start it
Of the nine Gordon targets last week, two were in the end zone and three were on deep passes. His playing time also exploded as he went from 18 shots during week 5 to 63 during week 6. With his expanding role, according to Bill Belichick, Gordon thinks he has a considerable advantage. Kyle Fuller and Prince Amukamara are good corner backs, but they should not stop Tom Brady for targeting Gordon, especially if the match turns into a track match similar to the Pats game last season. Gordon's potential for a huge game makes him more a No. 2 catcher than a flex.
Start it
It would not be an easy sell if Trubisky had not burned the Bucs and Dolphins in consecutive games for a completion rate of 72%, over 300 yards per pass, over 40 yards per game and nine total touchdowns. You may be even more motivated to start it if you consider that the Bears have seen eight orders enter the red zone of their opponents – not to mention the other three orders that ended in a touchdown. Trubisky is playing very well, and the Patriots have allowed at least 260 yards and several passes to four of the last five quarterbacks they have faced (Ryan Tannehill was unable to collect the numbers). Trubisky not only has a considerable advantage, but also proves safe enough for the use of Fantasy. I'll start in front of Matthew Stafford, Deshaun Watson and Philip Rivers.
Sit him
The two half-scorers who have collected more than 10 Fantasy points against the Patriots this season have caught touchdowns, something Howard has not done for more than two years. New England sells 4.7 yards per race, but allowed only four riders to get even 15 races, and half of them averaged 3.0 yards per race. None of this matters even when Howard's playing time has dropped like that of the stock market. He needed to work overtime last week to get 14 litters, and he had 11 the week before. He plays well, but the Bears seem enamored of Tarik Cohen's explosiveness. He is a better catcher than Howard and he is much smarter when the Bears play from behind or in a game that scores a lot. Howard is a touch-dependent flex in a game against a defense that has not allowed a touchdown on the ground in the last five minutes.
Sneaky Sleeper
Have you seen what Tyreek Hill did last week against the Patriots? He scored closely, he scored on a deep ball, he was everywhere. In terms of production, Gabriel is not close to the Hill league, but he is the leader of the Bears in receptions and yards, behind Allen Robinson with one target in four and Trey Burton with a touchdown. There is no doubt in my mind that the Bears will propose several solutions for Gabriel to receive the ball against this veteran (it's a nice word for "slow") secondary defensive. His potential is greater than that of Allen Robinson and Trey Burton.
Invoices to Colts
Start it
The odds exceed expectations – even though his passing attempts have dropped to ridiculous highs in his last three games, he still throws for thrilling yards (6.9 yards per attempt) with 11 touchdowns. Could the gameplay impose fewer pass attempts given the offensive weaknesses of the Bills? Perhaps this is the biggest concern of Lucky Fantasy owners. However, nothing indicates that Indianapolis is turning into a heavy foul even though a lead is built in the second half. In addition, the Bills 'running defense has kept opponents' games at 3.7 yards per race over their last four games. Therefore, even if the Colts try to run the ball, they should not prosper. Luck is a perfect start for week 7.
Browns at the buccaneers
Start it
There is no doubt that Njoku is one of the best fantasy players. The Bucs have allowed over 70 yards and a touchdown to a tight end in three straight games and a 82% catch rate at the all-season position. Baker Mayfield was a boon for Njoku's numbers, sending his target totals into the stratosphere with 20 passes out of 32 connected for a total of 212 yards and a touchdown in 3.5 games. Njoku should help you win a win and is a better start than O.J. Howard, Kyle Rudolph, Greg Olsen and Trey Burton.
Start it
The Bucs had a full week to understand how their game worked after a slow start. They chose to stay with Barber, and he rewarded them. Against Atlanta last week, Barber recorded his two best rushes of the season (more than 20 yards each) and five runs of 7 yards or more. Joe Schobert, who was injured last week, dropped 111 points in 17 races with 17 touchdowns in less than half. Barber should keep control of the job in Tampa Bay and fight for a good game for the second time in a row.
Lions in dolphins
Start it
Before the start, Johnson played about half of the shots and landed about half of all ground repairs. We would like to think that Lions coaches self-explored and realized that Johnson was their best choice to support more than half of the workload. If we were certain that Johnson would handle a larger share of the Lions first leg, he would be ranked in the top 15 or top 12. Despite this assurance, he is still number 2 because of the confrontation. Miami did not make more than 4.2 yards per race in three consecutive games and allowed five touchdowns to score during that period. Starting it is a leap of faith, but one in which you trust the most talented runner for a favorable match.
Saints at Ravens
Risky starter
Collins may have returned to your good graces after scoring twice last week in a stellar victory over the Titans, but this week's meeting against the Saints does not seem easy. New Orleans are keeping runners up at 2.8 yards a season with only one back – Saquon Barkley – totaling more than 10 Fantasy points this season. Collins has only exceeded 10 Fantasy points through touchdowns, so he'll need to get one this week to help you out. Nor do you think his lead is back – he played six times more than Buck Allen and, despite two touchdowns, averaged only 2.8 yards per run thanks to a 10 yards and six staves. Allen and rookie Gus Edwards could tap into his workload, especially if the Ravens have to play from behind.
Cowboys at Redskins
Start it
You will almost never see a kicker in a starting / sitting story, but Maher deserves your attention. Since signing with Dallas, Maher has scored 15 field goals, including 3-for-3 over 50 yards. In leagues without distance bonuses, he has raised at least 10 Fantasy points in each of his last three games. Given Dallas' offensive inconsistencies, Maher should be expected to continue his goals. It is available in nearly 80% of leagues.
Risky starter
What happened to Reed? Despite a pretty good target count (more than seven out of three of his last four targets), it's no longer as explosive as before and Alex Smith still does not get quality shots. For example, last week he broke with his road and Smith threw the ball one meter behind him or a meter in front of him; In another room, he walked the field with a wheel and could not pass a linebacker. The only time this season the Cowboys allowed the numbers to tighten was in the lost time of Week 2 when Evan Engram scored. They played well against the position (8.3 yards per shot) and have always been very successful against Reed, limiting him to 70 yards or less without touching in 7 of the 8 games. Expect a Reed discussion during the 8th week (NYG) and / or the 9th week (vs. ATL).
The Rams at 49ers
Start it
The 49ers scored more than 30 points in the two Rams games last year, and in those matches Carlos Hyde had two touchdowns each time. Breida is an irreproachable starter after coming out of last week's match, which looks fast and healthy. The success of the Los Angeles run defense depends primarily on how often the teams run on it – they have allowed more than 4.2 yards per run for teams that try at least 16 rushes and at least 3.7 yards per game. race for teams that limit the back to 15 minus. Kyle Shanahan's half-goals have totaled at least 23 staves in all but one games this season and averaged 29.5 attempts against the Rams last year. Breida should be good.
Bengals at Chiefs
Start it
There is absolutely no reason to get Dalton out of the lineup this week. The Chiefs have allowed at least two touchdowns to all opposing quarterbacks except one this season and at least 325 yards on all passes except two. You may now know that Chiefs' games tend to be highly rated because of their incredible offense and poor defense. Expect Dalton to find many opportunities to score.
The giants in hawks
Start it
The Falcons, or at least Matt Ryan, have become aware of the value of its tight end. Over the past two weeks, Hooper has captured at least nine passes for at least 70 yards per game and a touchdown in Week 6. He achieved double-digit goals and was involved on all terrains. The Giants only allowed their first touchdown of the season to finish tight last week (Zach Ertz). They actually maintained a good catch rate compared to tight sleeves (59%), but reported 13.6 yards per catch. So when these two ends open, they really open against Big Blue. The Falcons racing game has not yet exploded and their receiving body is taking care of injuries, opening the door to the role played by Hooper to maintain its recent expansion.
