[ad_1]

Like every week, we recap the best and worst of the week from a fantastic perspective, with game data and applicable historical data. Come back after the end of the 16 hours. AND (and, if necessary, Sunday night) games for our choices.

The best

Kareem Hunt, RB, Kansas City Chiefs: The player who scored the most points on Sunday came out of the night match, as Hunt scored 37.1 PPR famtasy points against the Cincinnati Bengals. It was the third best career point total of his career and his second touchdown match (ie, Week 1 in 2017). Hunt is in the middle of a long four-week period during which he tallied 109.5 points. He will face the Broncos, a defense that let 200 yards go in the weeks and the next 6.

Patrick Mahomes, Chiefs: The most successful quarterback of Sunday's games, Mahomes scored 32.8 fantastic points, his second game of this season of 30 or so. With this, he extended his position lead for the season to 190.9 points, leaving only Gurley among players at all positions. Mahomes now has 201.3 points in his first eight career starts in the NFL, a record among all quarters of history. His breakthrough season continues with a more difficult confrontation against the Broncos in the eighth week, a team against which he scored 22.9 points in the fourth week.

Marlon Mack, RB, Colts of Indianapolis: In what was the best game of his career for the second year in a row, Mack set personal bests with 21 hits, 159 yards for a draw and 31.9 PPR fantasy points, almost doubling his previous record of 16.3, established in 2017, week 5. It was the second week in a row that he was working hard, since he had 13 touchdowns and 93 yards in scrimmage during the 6th week . Mack, who remains available in 46.3% of ESPN leagues, gets another result above average at very good. 8th week game against the Oakland Raiders, another week in which four teams will be on leave.

Todd Gurley, RB, Los Angeles Rams: He is in the middle of an absolutely phenomenal two year run. In fact, he has just completed a three week period of excellence during which he scored at least 30 fantastic PPR points in each of these areas. Gurley's 30.6 points rank second among Sunday's halfbacks at 4 pm Matches against, despite his quick exit from a 39-10 win over the San Francisco 49ers, giving him a 206.6 points advantage for the season. As you can see in the attached chart, this is the fourth highest number of players, regardless of position, since the first seven games of his team since at least 1950. That means that Gurley is on an even more phenomenal pace than in his 383.3 points. 2017, during which he took the league lead at all positions by more than 35 points. Gurley's piece was not just special, it's historical.

Mitchell Trubisky, QB, Chicago Bears: Although his match ended in a heartbreak, his final completion only allowing him to tie the score and send in overtime, Trubisky's 31.4 fantastic points accounted for a third excellent score consecutive for our purpose. It was an uneven effort, since he spent most of the day with a success percentage lower than 50 – his last percentage was 52.0 – and launched a pair of interceptions who played an important role in defeating his team. It is therefore dangerous. take too much of the performance. Trubisky however had several passes for the third consecutive game and the fourth time in five games. He also had 81 yards and one touchdown in six attempts as he continued to help raise his stats. Trubisky started in 31.7% of the ESPN leagues, which had by far reached a career high. That number should continue to grow only when he faces the New York Jets in the eighth week.

James White, RB, Patriots of New England: One of the Patriots' stars in a close win, 38-31 in Chicago, White's 29.7 points of Fantasy are the second-most-defeated goals in Sunday's race at 1pm. AND games. He caught two touchdown passes and eight of his 10 targets in total, but the biggest story is that he had 11 attempts to race at the top of his career, mainly the result of Sony Michel's premature departure following a knee injury. End-of-season injuries affecting the problems of Rex Burkhead, Jeremy Hill, and Michel, who seemed at first glance more serious than your typical daily illness, left the Patriots to race, and White will continue to see him. a high amount of work precipitated. This could allow him to reach the status of weekly player RB1, given that he already has 328.9 points using the PPR score and 103 receptions this season.

Cam Newton, QB, Carolina Panthers: Even though he did not capture the leading position in fancy points, Newton's comeback in the fourth quarter against the defending champion, the Philadelphia Eagles, saved his day from inclusion in the section. " The Worst "later in the column, placing it rather as one of Sunday's best performances. . Newton generated 19.1 of his 25.7 fantastic points in the fourth quarter, behind a pair of passes, over 200 passing yards and a two-point conversion. It was the 34th time in his career in the NFL's regular-season NFL games that he scored at least 25 fantasy points, making him the sixth-highest total of all time.

Adam Thielen, WR, Minnesota Vikings: For the seventh consecutive game of his season, Thielen reached the 100-yard winning streak, joining Charley Hennigan as the only player in history to do so. That fueled a whopping 26.0 PPR points total by Thielen, who scored 153.2 points for the top scorer with only 153.2 points and continued that what was a historic pace ( see the attached table). Thielen has prospered with Kirk Cousins ​​as a quarterback, and it's fair to wonder if he's claiming the # 1 position for the rest of the season. Thielen will face the New Orleans Saints in the eighth week. So there is a good chance that he will also rank among the top scorers of next week.

Alshon Jeffery, WR, Philadelphia Eagles: While its 21.8 PPR fantasy points represented only the third best total among the wide receivers from 1 pm. AND, he started in a lower percentage of ESPN leagues (75.3) compared to Thielen (99.6) or Jarvis Landry (85.9). It was Jeffery's third out of four game with at least 20 points since his return from a shoulder injury, and this continued his tendency to excellent performances in games where Carson Wentz was his quarterback. Jeffery has tallied 258.8 points (averaging 15.2) in 17 games with Wentz since joining the Eagles before last season. The duo will face a much tougher confrontation in the eighth week against the London Jaguars. So temper your expectations for a rehearsal (or almost).

Zach Ertz, TE, Philadelphia Eagles: His 22.8 fantasy points on PPR earned him a sixth week in a row with at least 12 points. Since the start of last season, he has a pair of sets of at least this length – he has had eight in a row to start 2017 – – and is the only tight end with a drag at least as long. Ertz showed similar excellence to Jeffery, while working with Wentz, totaling 263.9 points (16.5 points on average) in 16 games played by Wentz since the start of last season. Ertz, at least a week later, seems a little less threatened by this match between the Jaguars and the 8th week Jeffery, knowing that Jacksonville has done a better job in 2017-18 in defense of big receivers than tight ends.

Emmanuel Sanders, WR, Denver Broncos: He started the offensive scoring of the week with a who passed touched in the first quarter of Thursday night's game, and added a touchdown in the second quarter of 64 yards as he headed for a whimsical point play of 27.3 PPR. For Sanders, he earned his seventh best score in 122 career games and a second-place finish of 25 or more this season (he had 29.5 in the first week), despite his fourth-quarter start due to an injury to the ankle. his claims should not prevent him from showing up at the 8th week, which limited him to 43 out of 59 offensive shots. He now has 140.7 points for the season, which represents his greatest number of team wins by seven of his nine seasons in the NFL and 52.5 more than his Broncos receiver Demaryius Thomas (he has 88 , 2 in seven games).

Tyrell Williams, WR, Los Angeles Chargers: For the second consecutive week, Williams scored at least 20 PPR fantasy points, only the second time in his career that he scored 21.8 points in the Sunday morning game in London. Much of this was the product of his 75-yard touchdown reception in the first quarter, giving him eight touchdown receptions for 40 yards or more since the start of the 2016 season, which earned him a tie with Tyreek Hill. 41 weeks period. Despite limited weekly goals – his four Sundays are the third of his team and his 27 for the season are not among the top 60 receivers in the category – Williams' play potential could be useful in depth (think 14-plus- team) leagues. It started in 3.2% of the ESPN leagues and was 8.5% in Week 7, which was a significant increase from Week 6 (0.6 and 2.9%).

Denver Broncos defense / special teams: A dominant effort by two touchdowns (six by Todd Davis and Chris Harris Jr.) and two bags from Von Miller resulted in a fantastic 33-point performance by the Broncos D, the highest total of individual points all time. The team's defense / special teams since the Arizona Cardinals – ironically, the Broncos' opponent in this match – scored 35 in the 16th week of 2015. It's only a matter of time. acted more of a statement on Arizona's offensive struggles than Denver's defense, the Broncos' 20 points by entering the seventh week, they ranked just 24th in the league, while Cardinals' opponents averaged 10.0 points on their defense (second-highest in the league). The Cardinals on Friday dismissed offensive coordinator Mike McCoy and replaced him with quarterback coach Byron Leftwich. The team should therefore improve at least a little after a miserable effort. That said, it's still a team to exploit if you use a continuous defense strategy.

Trey Burton, TE, Chicago Bears: The best scorer among tight ends at 16h. With ET, Burton's 27.6 fantasy points represented a new career high. He now has a receiving touchdown in three consecutive games, totaling 56.5 fantasy points in the process. Burton remains a back-end TE1, as Trubisky's improved performance has contributed to the capital increase of its tight stock in recent weeks.

John Brown, WR, Baltimore Ravens: Although his match ended in a heartbreak, it was Brown's touchdown with 14 yards to 24 seconds of the end of the match that allowed the Ravens to tie goals, which which propelled it to 26.4 fancy points. It was the second best point total of his 63 career NFL games, surpassing just 27.6 points in the sixth week of 2015 (when he was a member of the Cardinals). which had been a fall of two weeks. Week 7. Brown now has three games over 19 points out of seven this season, and he has one of the most favorable remaining schedules among the receivers, with games to come against the Pittsburgh Steelers (Week 9) , the Oakland Raiders (Week 12), Atlanta Falcons (Week 13), Kansas City Chiefs (Week 14) and Buccaneers (Week 15).

George Kittle, TE, San Francisco 49ers: Fourth tight end of ESPN leagues during week 7, active at 70.8%, Kittle generously rewarded his managers with a total of fantastic points of 20.8 PPR, the third at his post until 4pm. AND games. That earned him his second game with at least 20 points in his last four games, which was particularly encouraging as both were played with C. J. Beathard as quarterback. Kittle has scored 65.6 points in four games since Beathard took over injured Jimmy Garoppolo. In a tough season for the tight position, Kittle was a reliable weekly TE1.

The worst

Ezekiel Elliott, RB, Dallas Cowboys: Only once before, during his career in the 32 games in the NFL, he had a worse day in terms of fantastic points PPR than Sunday, while his 6.3 points were just closer to the 6.2. He had had during Week 2 of 2017. It was a terrible match from Elliott. – He averaged only 2.3 yards per run – against an underestimated Washington Redskins defense, which cost his ESPN league managers a lot, as he was 99.8% active on third place among the halves. He said goodbye in the 8th week, but is expected to rebound significantly in the 9th week against the defense against the Titans average.

Duke Johnson Jr., RB, Cleveland Browns: Considering that he was expecting to see his work speed up after Friday's trading of Carlos Hyde, he started Sunday's game and battled a Tampa Bay Buccaneers team that was terrible to contain. the halfbacks (PFL fantasy points to 2.1) 5.9 points out of five total Johnson hits qualify as one of Sunday's biggest disappointments. Johnson was added to nearly 12% of ESPN leagues between week 6 and week 7 – although it was reduced from about 7% the previous week – and started at 15.4%, his highest rate since week 1. At the same time, Nick Chubb managed 14.0 points on 18 carries, a sure sign that the team sees him as his workaholic to go from the front. Johnson remains only a flexible game dependent matchups in the Full and Half-PPR formats.

Deshaun Watson, QB, Houston Texans: For the second week in a row and the third time in seven games this season, Watson has scored a disappointing total of points. His score of 10.9 was assured, ensuring he easily finished out of the top 12 of the position – and maybe even out of his top 20 – a week. end. He did little to help his legs during his recent doldrums, rising nine times for a total of 15 yards in weeks 6-7, although this may be partly because of the poor protection provided by the offensive line. from Houston. As this match was against the Jacksonville Jaguars, Watson's starting percentage in the ESPN leagues naturally dropped to 31.7%, its lowest rate (among those for which he was healthy) since the 4th week. This should improve, as well as his performances, when he faces the Miami Dolphins during the game of Thursday night of the 8th week.

Allen Robinson, WR, Chicago Bear: Questionable due to a groin injury, he started the weekend but nevertheless played, dropping his percentage of players in the ESPN leagues to 48.6, a season low. That said, it's a fair amount of teams casting 1.4 fancy points out of five targets, while Robinson was not able to get things moving on a day when Trubisky was struggling to pass. This was Robinson's second worst performance after his NFL debut in Week 1 of 2014 (1.0), but that should not happen too often, given his weekly totals. generally good targets. He should bounce back in Week 8 against the Jets.

David Johnson, RB, Cardinals of Arizona: His wildest 10.0 fantasy points on Thursday night were hardly disastrous – after all, he had eight worst point totals in a game in 40 games in the NFL, one of which was this season (6.1, at the second week) – was a significant disappointment if you consider the strength of his match. The opposing Broncos started the week after allowing 200-yard runners-up, the first defense of history, as well as the sixth-highest number of fantastic points per game opposed to the season's halfbacks (29.8). Johnson also started in 98.5% of ESPN leagues, making him the fifth best defender of Week 7.

Corey Davis, WR, Tennessee Titans: For the second consecutive week, Davis missed 5 fantastic PPR points, his 4.0 to Sunday in London getting closer to his 3.4 in the 6th week. In trouble because of a bad game against Chargers and cornerback Casey Hayward, Davis His goal was not to be seven out of seven. Tajae Sharpe managed nine more. Davis, who debuted in 30.6% of ESPN leagues, is now entering his farewell week. He will face another game below average (at best) against the Dallas Cowboys when the Titans come back in the 9th week.

Kyle Rudolph, TE, Minnesota Vikings: For the fourth time only since the start of the 2016 season, Rudolph has not managed to get 3 fantastic PPR points, his score of 2.6 out of four being a trough of the season. He just did not look like Sam Bradford's Cousins ​​in 2016 or Case Keenum in 2017, his 35 targets in the first seven games of the Vikings in the first seven games of the season compared to its 2016 figures (53). or 2017 (40). Rudolph, who started in fifth place among the 65.8 percent ESPN leagues in Week 7, got an opportunity to make a return match in the eighth week against the Saints.

Mark Ingram, RB, Saints of New Orleans: Although his match was one of the toughest of his schedule – the opposing Ravens had conceded the second-worst PPR points earlier in the week (80.3) – the 6.2-point mark was the best of the day. Ingram scoring 14 hits in total have sank many of his fantasy teams, considering that he debuted in 76.1% of the ESPN leagues (ranked 13th among the running backs). Since returning from suspension, he has averaged 3.0 yards per race in both games, although the 16 and 12 scopes he has received in these competitions show that his role is important enough that he deserves to start, regardless of the match played. He will face another game from below average to mediocre in the eighth week against the Vikings.

Jordan Reed, TE, Washington Redskins: For the third week in a row, he won less than 10 PPR fantasy points, scoring only 6.3 points on Sunday. It's only for the second time in six years in the NFL that Reed has a sequence of this length – he also scored three times in a row under the 10 mark in the weeks 14-16 of 2014 – this which is worrying for its total receptions. has generally made him a reliable option for his healthy games. In all three games of the team since the start, Reed has only caught eight of his 15 targets. He will have to start reversing this trend during a favorable part of his schedule (at the Giants, against the Falcons and at the Bucs the next three weeks) if he wants to continue to gain points on his fantastic teams.
