    Emeka Egbuka left with a hamstring injury and expects to miss time pending MRI results. Puka Nacua battled through an ankle sprain but wasn’t involved afterward, and with the Rams’ Week 8 bye coming up, he should have time to recover. Garrett Wilson also left Sunday’s game in London with a knee injury and will undergo testing.

    Marvin Harrison Jr. exited with a concussion, while Kyler Murray continues to deal with a mid-foot sprain. Both Cardinals get some extra rest with a Week 8 bye. Lamar Jackson is expected back after Baltimore’s Week 7 bye, while Jauan Jennings revealed he’s been playing through multiple rib and ankle injuries. Calvin Ridley, David Njoku, Mike Gesicki, and Dontayvion Wicks each left Sunday’s games early.

    The Cowboys placed Miles Sanders on season-ending IR, and Anthony Richardson missed Week 6 after suffering an orbital eye fracture during warmups. For Monday night, Darnell Mooney is out with a hamstring injury, while Colston Loveland, Dalton Kincaid, and Deebo Samuel are questionable. Rashee Rice is eligible to return from suspension this week against the Raiders.

    QBs: Patrick Mahomes led all QBs with 31.5 fantasy points, throwing for 257 yards and three TDs while adding 32 rushing yards in his third straight top-five finish. Drake Maye stayed hot with 261 yards, three scores, and 28 rushing yards, giving him four top 10 weeks in his last five. Jaxson Dart turned in another efficient outing with 195 yards and a rushing TD on Thursday night. Daniel Jones quietly posted his best game of the year with 212 yards, two scores, and 20 rushing yards, while Dak Prescott continued his streak of three TD games (three straight weeks), tossing three more in a win over Carolina.

    RBs: Rico Dowdle exploded again with 239 total yards and a receiving TD, becoming just the sixth RB in the Super Bowl era with at least 225 scrimmage yards in consecutive games. Cam Skattebo found the end zone three times on Thursday night, finishing with 110 total yards and a career-best fantasy output. Josh Jacobs scored twice and added 57 receiving yards in his best performance of the season. De’Von Achane continued his elite efficiency with 150 total yards and two TDs. Jonathan Taylor topped 120 yards and added four receptions in a workhorse role that included a season-high 85% route share.

    WRs: George Pickens was the standout at WR, taking nine catches for 168 yards and a TD as he continues to ball out. Jaxon Smith-Njigba wasn’t far behind, hauling in eight for 162 and a score in another monster showing. Kayshon Boutte turned heads with a perfect 5-for-5 line for 93 yards and 2 TDs, proving the talent was always there. Ja’Marr Chase kept his volume steady with 10 grabs for 94 yards and a TD, while Ladd McConkey joined the fun (finally!) with seven catches for 100 yards and a score.

    TEs: Dallas Goedert led all TEs with nine catches for 110 yards and a TD on 11 targets, flashing his ceiling. Trey McBride stayed hot with eight for 72 and a score, keeping himself firmly in the weekly TE1 mix. Tyler Warren turned nine targets into six catches, 63 yards, and a TD in another strong showing. Sam LaPorta continued his steady production with 5 for 55 and a TD, while Michael Mayer closed out the top five with five catches, 50 yards, and a TD.

    Duds

    QBs: Justin Fields’ struggles continued as he completed nine of 17 passes for 45 yards while taking nine sacks in a brutal showing against Denver. Jordan Love managed 259 yards and a TD but failed to generate consistent offense, settling for another mid-QB2 finish. Matthew Stafford never found a rhythm against Baltimore, throwing for 181 yards and one score. Bo Nix rounded out the group with 174 yards and one TD, falling short of expectations in a low-volume passing effort.

    RBs: Saquon Barkley led a long list of RB disappointments, managing just 58 rushing yards on 12 carries and only two receptions on Thursday night. Breece Hall logged 22 carries for 59 yards but saw zero targets for the first time since tearing his ACL. Jahmyr Gibbs handled 17 carries for 65 yards but failed to find the end zone. Javonte Williams and Quinshon Judkins each struggled to create chunk plays, combining for just 65 total rushing yards. Travis Etienne, Kenneth Walker, and Tony Pollard also underwhelmed, each finishing with fewer than 40 rushing yards and no TDs in Week 6. The Patriots’ backfield did nothing, with Stevenson and Henderson getting 45 rushing yards and one catch for nine yards as a duo.

    WRs: It was a gross week for several big-name WRs. Davante Adams drew nine targets but managed just 39 yards, continuing a frustrating stretch of inefficiency. Keenan Allen caught four passes for only 27 yards in a quiet showing. Stefon Diggs was held to three receptions for 28 yards, while Zay Flowers finished with 46 yards and lost a costly fumble. Courtland Sutton and Michael Pittman Jr. combined for just three total catches, and Jakobi Meyers couldn’t get going either, posting 39 yards on four grabs. Even Romeo Doubs’ nine targets turned into just 55 yards, capping off a week where volume didn’t translate into production.

    TEs: Mark Andrews was limited to four catches for 24 yards while Isaiah Likely added just two grabs for six. Hunter Henry saw three targets and turned them into 27 yards, and Juwan Johnson’s two catches for 15 yards came with a costly fumble. Mason Taylor hit a season low with one catch for two yards as his target share cratered to 6.3%.

    News

    The Titans fired head coach Brian Callahan after a 4 – 19 record in his short tenure. He previously served as the Bengals’ offensive coordinator from 2019 through 2023. With his firing, all four of the last number one overall QBs (Trevor Lawrence, Bryce Young, Caleb Williams, and now Cam Ward) have seen their head coach dismissed during their rookie season.

    The Buccaneers ruled out Chris Godwin with a fibula injury and Bucky Irving with an ankle issue for Week seven against Detroit. The team remains hopeful that Mike Evans, who is nursing a hamstring injury, can return to practice this week. In SF, Kyle Shanahan said the 49ers are hoping to get George Kittle back at practice.

    Bears WR DJ Moore remained under observation in Washington, DC, after being taken to the hospital Sunday, though he played nearly every snap before leaving. Raiders coach Pete Carroll said it might be best to rest Brock Bowers through the team’s Week eight bye. ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that Jets WR Garrett Wilson will miss a couple of weeks after an MRI revealed a hyperextended knee. Panthers coach Dave Canales said the team will wait and see before naming Rico Dowdle the full-time RB1, while Bengals coach Zac Taylor confirmed that Mike Gesicki expects to miss extended time with a pectoral injury.

    Here’s an Injured Reserve Tracker.

    Trevor Ruszkowski-Imagn Images

    RBs: A few key RBs are nearing returns from injured reserve, and it’s worth keeping tabs. MarShawn Lloyd (hamstring) is eligible to return this week, while both Aaron Jones (hamstring) and Omarion Hampton (ankle) can come back in Week 8. Trey Benson and Braelon Allen are still out until at least Week 10 with knee injuries.

    As for pickups, Kimani Vidal remains the top add after another big game, totaling 142 yards and a score against MIA. He’s available in just over half of leagues and continues to hold a strong workload share. Bam Knight also deserves attention after handling 14 carries last week with ARI’s backfield wide open. Kendre Miller flashed in limited work and could see a bump if the Saints expand his role.

    Tyjae Spears, Sean Tucker, and Kareem Hunt all profile as deeper league stashes, while Kyle Monangai and Kenneth Gainwell are more speculative adds. Tyler Allgeier continues to hang around as a volume-dependent flex.

    WRs: Several WRs are trending toward returns, including Jalen Coker (quad) and Christian Watson (knee), who are designated to return from injured reserve. Jayden Reed (collarbone) could be back by Week 8, while Cedric Tillman (hamstring) remains a couple of weeks away.

    Kendrick Bourne is once again heating up, posting back-to-back 100-yard games and looking like the clear top target in San Francisco. He’s available in nearly half of leagues and should be rostered everywhere after another nine-target outing. Josh Downs continues to rack up steady volume with seven targets for 64 yards last week.

    Kayshon Boutte and Tez Johnson both showed flashes, each turning limited looks into efficient production and positioning themselves as deeper stashes. Romeo Doubs remains a safe floor play, while Jordan Whittington and Tre Tucker are worth monitoring. For those searching deeper, Jalen Coker and Luke McCaffrey offer potential rest-of-season upside if their roles expand.

    TEs: Harold Fannin Jr. continues to look like a breakout candidate, earning 10 targets in Week 6 and finishing with seven catches for 81 yards. Cade Otton turned in another solid game with six targets for 51 yards and a score, making him one of the better streaming options available.

    Mason Taylor and AJ Barner remain intriguing stashes, each seeing steady usage in recent weeks. Zach Ertz continues to draw targets in Washington’s offense. Michael Mayer delivered by running routes on more than one-third of his snaps last week. For those looking deep, Theo Johnson and Jake Tonges are earning valuable opportunities and could be sneaky plays.

    DSTs: If you’re streaming DSTs this week, there are a few solid options worth a look. The Patriots remain a strong play against Tennessee, with rookie QB Cam Ward averaging four sacks and one and a half TOs per game. The Steelers are widely rostered but continue to be an every-week start, especially against turnover-prone offenses like CIN this week.

    For those looking at waivers, the Browns are available in about a quarter of leagues playing by Miami. The Commanders are there, while the Seahawks also offer a steady streaming option.

    Full Stream Ahead

    Andy: Joe Flacco
    The Steelers rank near the bottom of the league against QBs, allowing consistent production through the air. Andy expects heavy passing volume as Flacco leans on his talented WRs.

    Jason: Sam Darnold
    Darnold has finished as a top-12 QB in three of his last four games and continues to push the ball downfield. He ranks near the top of the league in completions of 20 or more yards. The matchup also sets up well, with SEA averaging 28 points per game. HOU’s defensive numbers have been boosted by recent matchups with backup-level QBs, giving Darnold legitimate streaming appeal.

    Mike: Aaron Rodgers
    The Bengals rank 29th in yards per play allowed and have struggled to contain passing attacks all season. He’s a solid streaming option for anyone looking to stabilize the QB position this week.

    Backup Options

    Los Angeles Rams cornerback Darious Williams (31) breaks up a pass intended for Tennessee Titans wide receiver Elic Ayomanor (5) during the third quarter at Nissan Stadium in Nashville, Tenn., Sunday, Sept. 14, 2025.Los Angeles Rams cornerback Darious Williams (31) breaks up a pass intended for Tennessee Titans wide receiver Elic Ayomanor (5) during the third quarter at Nissan Stadium in Nashville, Tenn., Sunday, Sept. 14, 2025.

    Check our waiver wire rankings here. Make sure to check to see who gets dropped on your Waiver Wire, and here are some backup options that may have been dropped.

    With Dalton Kincaid sitting out last week, many leagues saw him hit the waiver wire. Scoop him up for the Rest of the Season (ROS) value. Christian Kirk of the Texans took a few games to get back, but went 4/64 in his last game. He is a FLEX option against Seattle now that the Texans’ offense is starting to figure some stuff out.

    Elic Ayomanor (aka EPIC) may be the top option for TEN if Calvin Ridley is injured. He plays against NE (ranked 28th) and MIN (21st), both of whom struggle to contain fantasy points to WR.

    News

    “Argghhh, MY GROIN” – DJ Moore. Hospitalized for precautionary reasons, he is the newest addition to groinindex.com. Puka Nacua is in serious doubt for Week 7, keeping him out through the team’s Bye next in Week 8. Emeka Egbuka has a boo boo and the hamstring injury will probably keep him out for MNF. CeeDee Lamb has a chance to be ready for Week 7, while David Njoku is not expected to practice this week.

    Rico Dowdle and Chuba Hubbard will split touches, making both less appealing options. The Colts placed Anthony Richardson on eye-R (IR) and signed Brett Rypien (farts).

    TNF Preview

    4 – 1 PIT @ 2 – 4 CIN (PIT -5.5, O/U 44.5)

    Aaron Rodgers and Joe Flacco face off for TNF as the 2nd-oldest QBs to face each other in NFL history. Only Tom Brady and Drew Brees were older. Rodgers is leading the Steelers to a solid 4-1 record, while Joe Flacco elevated the Bengals’ offense to a playable level in the second half, after it struggled against GB in the first.

    Chase Brown is a tough start because of how poor his production has been. The volume is there, but the execution (and the offense as a whole?) hasn’t. Jason thinks Kaleb Johnson could break out and traded him for $30 in the League of Record as a joke. He also placed an Anytime TD bet, hoping to call his shot that this is the week he breaks out. Mike and Andy have their doubts.

    All skill positions for the Steelers have an opportunity to shine thanks to a relatively easy rest of the season schedule. DK Metcalf looks like he is ready for blastoff.

    MAY-UL-BAG (Mailbag)

    Am I an idiot to trade Saquon Barkley for Rashee Rice? As a consensus, YES. All three Ballers said yes after a 1-2-3 countdown in unison. Barkley is not a top-five RB, BUT Rice isn’t guaranteed to be that either. The Eagles should get healthier on their line, and the defense will be better once Jalen Carter comes back. This trade would make more sense if you traded Barkley for Rice/Rhamondre Stevenson or Tony Pollard. Andy’s point, “you’re selling low on Barkley and buying high on Rice.” On the flip side, Rice owners may be able to sell high.

    Would you trade Emeka Egbuka for Saquon Barkley straight up? 10 Team, PPR. Currently, we’re not sure of the severity of Emeka Egg Big Boo’s hamstring injury. With the Buccaneers on Bye in Week 9, there is a chance Egbuka won’t return until Week 10, leaving a zero for managers until then. Jason says he would trade Egbuka for Rice. Note also, Mike Evans should return this week or next, possibly muting Egbuka’s ceiling.

    Is Woody Marks an afterthought? What’s his outlook after the bye? No, keep him on your bench. He can catch the ball. He’s not an afterthought, we’re in the rookie bye week “Injury Bump.” Teams will start integrating rookies due to injuries now that they have a taste of the league.

    Trade Offer: Derrick Henry for Rico Dowdle? If you can get Henry, take him. With Chuba coming back from injury, the window to sell is closing on Rico after two monster games. Henry is also a great buy low, considering how bad he’s looked (the fumbles) in primetime games. He’s going into a bye week, and Lamar Jackson should be back afterward.

    Rest of Season: Jaylen Warren or D’Andre Swift? Warren looks to be the better player to this point, but the Bears’ RB schedule for the rest of the season creates some hesitation. Swift’s ceiling game on MNF showed why he continues to stay employed in the NFL.

    Have you ever outthought yourself in a stupid trade? Of course, we all have. Years ago, Andy offered Jason a dominant and resurging Austin Ekeler for Saquon (when he was in NYG), and two second-round picks. Jason did his research, ended up paralyzed by analysis, and made the trade. This move gave Andy a championship and cost Jason one the following year.

    But you’re not going to win all of your trades! You have to pull the trigger sometimes to go for it. Play fantasy with a shotgun, not a rifle. The more shots you have to hit a target, the better chance you have.

    Should I stash Trey Benson? As Cardinals truthers, the Ballers feel he will have solid value at the end of the season. They don’t expect workhorse RB work, but he will have value.

    Bill or Chris Olave? Bill.

    Derrick Henry/Justin Jefferson or Jonathan Taylor? This deal is a fair trade. Jason leans toward King Henry/JJ’s side. Andy thinks that if you’re strong at WR, there is no reason to let go of JT.

    Should I consider trading George Pickens since CeeDee Lamb is coming back? Pickens is WR 3 on the year and is running hot. Lamb is not guaranteed back this week, and the ballers feel he will continue to produce even with Lamb back. Unlike the Rico situation, Pickens and Lamb could both be inside the top 12 at the position with how dominant Dak Prescott is playing.

    News

    Brock Bowers looks to be out again. Jakobi Meyers didn’t practice (knees, toes, but his head & shoulders are fine). With trade rumors swirling, we will see what happens. DJ Moore did not participate in the Thursday walk-through. Darnell Mooney got a limited practice in on Wednesday.

    Ricky Pearsal, Jauan Jennings, George Kittle, and Brock Purdy were limited. Marvin Harrison was limited with the concussion and will need to practice on Friday to play. Kyler Murray was also restricted. Josh Downs did not practice with a concussion. Puka Nacua looks to be out this week to rest up through the team’s bye next week.

    Terry McLaurin could be back after a limited practice, and the same goes for CeeDee Lamb. Mike Evans expects to practice on Thursday and play this week.

    Starts of the Week

    QBs:

    • Andy: Justin Herbert. Bounce back candidate in the dome showdown against IND’s.
    • Mike: CJ Stroud. Off the bye, he looks to continue his momentum after a four-TD game and more rushing attempts.
    • Jason: Jared Goff. This matchup seems to be a gargantuan shot and blowup spot in a 52 O/U game against TB.

    RBs:

    • Andy: Quinshon Judkins. Another bounceback, he’s playing against the lowly Dolphins’ defense in a game that the weather may hinder the passing game.
    • Mike: Jaylen Warren for TNF. CIN ranks 32nd against RBs.
    • Jason: Jordan Mason. Off a bye week, he’s rested up and ready to capitalize on the Eagles’ run funnel defense.

    WRs:

    • Andy: Courtland Sutton. After a miserable week overseas, he’ll take advantage of the 30th-ranked NYG defense at home.
    • Mike: Rashee Rice. Excellent start, horrible hype video (YouTube it)
    • Jason: DK Metcalf.

    TEs:

    • Andy: Mason Taylor. The Meowmix Start of the Week.
    • Mike: George Kittle. The Falcons have dominated the TE position, but they haven’t faced anyone elite yet.
    • Jason: Harold Fannin Jr. David Njoku may miss (or be traded), allowing more opportunities if he doesn’t have to split up the TE.

    Fantasy Forecast

    4- 2 LAR vs 4 – 2 JAX (LAR – 3, O/U 44.5, London)
    Blake Corum did not practice early in the week, possibly opening up even more opportunity for Kyren Williams. Travis Eteinne may struggle against a stout LAR defense. Andy thinks trading for Travis Hunter is a possible midseason move as his snap count increases. The best way to beat the Jags is through the air, making Jordan Whittington a play if Puka Nacua is out.

    1 – 5 MIA @ 1 – 5 CLE (CLE -2.5, O/U 39.5)
    Uniquely, this is a rare time two left-handed QBs will face off against one another. With 60 – 60 MPH wind gusts, this weather concern is legitimate. Quinshon Judkins and Harold Fannin Jr. are both solid plays. Darren Waller‘s TD rate is unsustainable (four in three games), but he is still playable. His snaps are going up and still may be ramping up after missing the first few weeks of the season.

    1-5 NO at 3-2 CHI (CHI -4.5, O/U 46.5)
    Kendre Miller will be playing with the power of a million suns, going up against his former coach, Dennis Allen. This matchup is another game with weather concerns (high winds, rainy). With wind, more work goes to the running game. D’Andre Swift is coming off a monster game. Chris Olave and Alvin Kamara both were limited in the middle of the week. You can move on from Juwan Johnson. Colston Loveland is starting to eat into Cole Kmet‘s workload.

    4 – 2 NE at 1 – 5 TEN (NE -7. O/U 42.5)
    Mike McCoy is taking over as HC for the Titans. Cam Ward has not looked good, and hopefully the coaching change helps. Tajee Spears played 59% of the snaps to Tony Pollards 43%. Elic Ayomanor may end up becoming WR 1 due to injuries. Chig Okonkwo is getting targets, but it’s hard to trust him in this offense. TreVeyon Henderson is making life hard on fantasy managers, so Mike hopes he eats doo doo. Rhamondre Stevenson is startable. Hunter Henry is TE9 on the season, but is TD-dependent. Drake Maye is playing excellently and throwing the deep ball well.

    2 – 4 LV at 3 – 3 KC (KC -11.5, O/U 45.5)
    In 29 games when KC is a double-digit favorite, they are 26 – 3. Two of those losses are to the Raiders. Patrick Mahomes is QB1 and doing a lot of the work with his legs (pacing for 600+ yards rushing after never surpassing 400 in a season). With Rashee Rice back, there’s hope he can get his passing numbers up. Xavier Worthy and Travis Kelce are startable. Ashton Jeanty may be cannibalizing Jakobi Meyers now that Jeanty is getting 20+ opportunities per game. Michael Mayer stepped in for injured Brock Bowers, serving as a fine TE play with 5/51/1. You can go back to him this week as an SOS.

    4 – 2 PHI at 3 – 2 MIN (PHI -1.5, O/U 43.5)
    The Super Bowl champs are treading through two straight losses, but they started slow last year, too. The Eagles’ defense should get some key players back this week, while Carson Wentz will start for the Vikings. Saquon Barkley is struggling with less than 60 yards per game on the ground. His massive workload from last year could be a reason he is slowing down while also dealing with Guard injuries on the offensive line. Justin Jefferson is a set-it-and-forget-it since the Vikings have a softer end-of-season schedule. TJ Hockenson only has one target inside the 10 this year. AJ Brown and DeVonta Smith control the Eagles’ target share and have brighter days ahead. The Vikings are a run funnel, and if Saquon gets it going, there might be too many mouths to feed for the WRs. Dallas Goedert has been the number one TE in two of three weeks.

    3 – 3 CAR at 0 – 6 NYJ (CAR -1.5, O/U 42.5)
    Garrett Wilson won’t play this week, moving the line to where they are the dogs and the Panthers are favored. The Jets WR corps is a mystery, leaving Mason Taylor as the safest play in hopes of massive targets. Rico Dowdle is so hawt right now, and Chuba Hubbard isn’t a lock to play. Tet McMillan: Start him and smile about it. Andy bet Jason $100 that Rico has over 12.5 yards with or without Chuba Hubbard. Justin Fields is a roll the dice and find out, finishing all over the board each week in QB scoring (some top 10, some outside the top 30). The Ballers fear he goes old Chicago Bears Justin Fields and runs a bunch, but doesn’t end up with a good fantasy day. Breece Hall isn’t getting any catches, so hopefully that changes with so many WRs out.

    Friday update: Chuba Hubbard is off the injury report. 

    Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Flacco (16) lines up in the first quarter of the NFL Week 7 game between the Cincinnati Bengals and the Pittsburgh Steelers at Paycor Stadium in downtown Cincinnati on Thursday, Oct. 16, 2025.Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Flacco (16) lines up in the first quarter of the NFL Week 7 game between the Cincinnati Bengals and the Pittsburgh Steelers at Paycor Stadium in downtown Cincinnati on Thursday, Oct. 16, 2025.

    Sam Greene/The Enquirer / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images

    Thursday Night Football. Joe Flacco smashed! It showed the world that the Browns were the problem, not Joe Cool, who, with so many quick reads, was able to overcome the Bengals’ horrible offensive line. That’s why Mike Tomlin was so frustrated (and showed us publicly). Fantasy players can find comfort in the Bengals’ skill players. Aaron Rodgers threw the longest pass in the NFL since 2017 (68+ yard hail mary).

    News

    Puka Nacua and Terry McLaurin are OUT. Still not practicing or limited on Thursday: David Njoku, Chuba Hubbard, Calvin Ridley, Stefon Diggs, JJ McCarthy, D’Andre Swift. Jakobi Meyers and Brock Bowers both missed practice. Tre Tucker looks to step into the WR1 for the Raiders and is the spot start. Deebo Samuel‘s ability to play is in question. Keep an eye out for Luke McCaffrey, Jaylin Lane, and Chris Moore. Josh Down should be out.

    CeeDee Lamb is IN! Hooray!

    Note, the Cleveland and Miami game winds are expected in the 20 – 40 MPH range. Play skill players accordingly.

    Fantasy Forecast

    2 – 4 NYG at 4 – 2 DEN (DEN -7, O/U 39.5)
    Jaxson Dart is playable due to his rushing upside, but he faces a few tough matchups this week and next in Philly. Cam Skattebo is a star even against this match because of the opportunity he has in the offense. He’s the RB10 in fantasy (and he didn’t start early in the year). JK Dobbins is like Skattebo and is playable with his role. Courtland Sutton is a bounce-back play, while Bo Nix is a fringe starter. Nix may be moving into streamer territory and not a surefire QB1. RJ Harvey, Troy Franklin, and Marvin Mims are not playable currently. Keep your eyes on Pat Bryant and his role moving forward as a possible DEN WR2.

    5 – 1 IND at 4 – 2 LAC (LAC -1.5, O/U 48.5)
    Alec Pierce is a sneaky play with no Josh Downs and Ashton Dulin. Michael Pittman should benefit from the high-scoring environment. The Chargers are a pass-heavy team, making Ladd McConkey a start, and QJ is a fringe start since there may be better options on your waiver wire. Kimani Vidal is a start.

    3 – 3 WAS at 2 – 3 – 1 DAL (WAS -1.5, O/U 54.5)
    Round it up to 55! That’s a lot of points, and the Cowboys’ offense is humming without CeeDee. He’s back. With no McLaurin and Deebo questionable, Zach Ertz is a strong start, along with ancillary WRs for WAS (like dart throw Chris Moore).

    3-1-1 GB at 2 – 4 ARI (GB -7, O/U 44.5)
    Kyler Murray may be out for the second straight game. Jacoby Brissett will start again after looking solid last week. Bam Knight looks to be the early down RB (hopefully falling into the end zone) while Michael Carter serves as more of a pass-catching back. Both are hard to start with confidence. Marvin Harrison is going through concussion protocol, so his playing status is up in the air. Zay Jones is OUT. Michael Wilson is a spot start if Harrison and Jones are out. Trey McBride will eat and start him with confidence. Josh Jacobs will be great. Matthew Golden‘s target share is rising with his first top 20 WR finish last week. Romeo Doubs is a possible start if desperate. Tucker Kraft will have to get involved early to pay off if the Packers control the scoreboard early.

    3 – 2 ATL at 4 – 2 SF (SF -1.5, O/U 47.5)
    Andy’s Almost Upset of the Week
    Bijan Robinson and Christian McCaffrey will be fun to watch for fantasy. George Kittle is back and will only maximize that with the Bijan Robinson and Christian McCaffrey head-to-head. Start all three. Darnell Mooney has been limited all week and tends to take production away from Drake London when on the field. Michael Penix is a tough start due to his road struggles. Kendrick Bourne has been WR 7 in back-to-back weeks and is a spot start.

    5 – 1 TB at 4 – 2 DET (DET -5.5, O/U 52.5)
    Start your leading Lion players. Mike Evans is a must-start if he plays. Lion’s safety Brian Branch is out, but the other WRs shouldn’t be in lineups (Sterling Shepard, Tez Johnson, and Kam Johnson). Rachaad White is an excellent start with Bucky Irving out. Jameson Williams is the main question. He had more volume last game and looks safer than in past weeks.
