DFS – Fantasy Domination – Week 7

This week might be attention-grabbing; seven of the highest 13 scoring offenses are exterior of the primary slate. Plus, three further groups exterior the slate have been performing like top-14 groups during the last three weeks. The one two groups which are out of this most important slate which are offensive gutterballs are the Chargers and Eagles. To make issues worse, we’ve got three potential stinker video games straight away at midday on Sunday (Miami – Jets, Browns – Titans, and Vikings – Colts). On the lucky aspect, we even have some potential shootouts within the s – Packers, and the, and the, and the – okay, we’ve got one sport everybody goes to be on once more, ugh!. Can we at the least get Lamar Jackson again in order that sport might be aggressive?

Quarterback

Weekly Technique –Jordan Love (again), Jared Goff and Joe Burrow are the clear prime choices this week. Lamar Jackson (ankle) can be in play, assuming he returns from his damage. Brock Purdy and Matthew Stafford are playable pivots, however each are taking part in with short-handed huge receiver corps, and neither gives important financial savings from the highest 4. C.J. Stroud, Bryce Younger and Kyler Murray at the least supply minor cap financial savings. There are two authentic punt performs in Geno Smith and J.J. McCarthy.

Fantasy four-pack

Jared Goff ($6,800 DK, $8,000 FD), Lions (vs. GB) This sport tasks as probably the most chalk. That occurs when one sport has a line that’s 4 factors increased than the following closest sport on the slate. Selecting between Love and Goff would be the largest determination right here. On paper, Inexperienced Bay's protection seems to be good, however they’ve confronted Carson Wentz, Geno Smith, Michael Penix Jr., Jalon Daniels, Tyson Bagent and Dak Prescott. Prescott is the one title on that record that ought to invoke any concern within the opposition. In a shootout, I anticipate each quarterbacks to prime 300-3. I favor Love over Goff on account of price, however Goff's possession figures might decline considerably if many agree with me.

Jordan Love ($6,000 DK, $7,600 FD), Packers (@ DET) Because the cheaper choice on this sport, Love makes a greater stack. I'm at present leaning in direction of pairing him with each Matthew Golden and Tucker Kraft after which working it again with one of many Lions' go catchers.

Joe Burrow ($6,900 DK, $8,300 FD), Bengals (@ BAL) Popping out of their bye, the Bengals have each Tee Higgins and Ja'Marr Chase absolutely wholesome. That is nice information for Burrow and dangerous information for his or her opposition. Baltimore has been surprisingly mediocre in opposition to the go this season, and Burrow is greater than able to turning this sport right into a shootout. The larger query is whether or not Lamar Jackson might be wholesome sufficient to play. If Lamar is out, then this sport would possibly flip one-sided. That will be nice for Chase Brown and Samaje Perine, however it could put a ceiling on the Bengals' passing sport. Burrow will nonetheless throw for a pair of touchdowns, however 4 scores can be in play in a shootout.

Brock Purdy ($6,600 DK, $8,500 FD), 49ers (@ ATL) Purdy continues to provide regardless of all of his group's accidents. Week 6 was the primary sport this 12 months the place he didn’t throw for a number of touchdowns, however he nonetheless completed with 292 whole yards. This included one other 28 dashing yards, a determine he has topped in 5 of six video games. No dashing quarterback has examined the Falcons this season, but they’ve given up six dashing touchdowns during the last three weeks. Plus, solely 4 groups are permitting extra passing yards per sport. On a weak slate, the place everybody goes to be on the GB-DET sport, this is without doubt one of the few alternate choices able to producing three whole scores. Stack Purdy with each Christian McCaffrey and George Kittle.

Sleepers

Geno Smith ($5,100 DK, $6,900 FD), Jets (vs. MIA ) Taking part in Smith isn’t thrilling. He has just one sport this season with a number of touchdowns. Nonetheless, Miami has allowed the fifth-most passing touchdowns per sport, and just one quarterback has failed to provide a number of touchdowns in opposition to them. Plus, Geno acquired Omar Cooper Jr. again final week, and so they had been an instantaneous success, connecting for 6-103-1. This week, Cooper and Garrett Wilson will each get into the top zone on the arm of Smith.

J.J. McCarthy ($4,800 DK, $6,700 FD), s (vs. HOU) Regardless of taking part in just one quarter of soccer final week, McCarthy posted 269 whole yards and a landing. I definitely don’t anticipate him to submit over 1,000 yards on this sport, however he might definitely attain 269-1 over the course of a complete sport in opposition to a Texans protection that ranks bottom-five in passing yards per sport allowed. At his minuscule worth, it wouldn't take far more than that to succeed in 3x worth. He picked up proper the place Jameis Winston left off, peppering each Isaiah Possible and Malik Nabers. That makes them a three-legged stack I can get behind if I need to spend large at each working again slots.

Working Again

Weekly Technique – Jahmyr Gibbs is again of their prime spot this week. Sadly, Gibbs' worth is ridiculous. Nonetheless, I’ll nonetheless have large publicity to him in what must be the highest-scoring sport on the docket. Christian McCaffrey, Chuba Hubbard, Braelon Allen, and Aaron Jones Sr. are the highest pivots if you wish to fade Gibbs. Simply know that Allen and Jones might see a dip in touches if their respective backfield mates (Breece Corridor and Jordan Mason, respectively) return from damage. Kyren Williams additionally has a superb matchup, and after Sunday's sport, he threw main shade at his lack of utilization. It'll be attention-grabbing to see if the squeaky wheel will get oiled right here. One other participant that might be an attention-grabbing wrinkle this week is Josh Jacobs (exempt record). If he returns, he steps into an awesome matchup at an affordable worth. If he doesn't play, Pierre Robust Jr. might be a sneaky punt. At RB2, I’m featured backs on mediocre-to-bad groups. Bam Knight, Tony Pollard, Ollie Gordon II and any of the Broncos make sense at a reduction worth.

Fantasy four-pack

Jahmyr Gibbs ($9,800 DK, $9,800 FD), Lions (vs. GB): One of the best participant within the presumed highest-scoring sport on the slate, Gibbs may have ridiculously excessive possession regardless of an equally ridiculously excessive wage. This implies both he’s going to be vital chalk and lock out anybody who fades him, or he’ll underperform sufficient that solely the individuals who pale him may have a shot at taking down the tourney. Personally, I imagine Gibbs will humiliate a Packers protection that may as soon as once more be with out Micah Parsons (knee), and that simply positioned Javon Hargrave (Achilles) on IR.

Christian McCaffrey ($7,600 DK, $8,700 FD), 49ers (vs. ATL) As I discussed above, the Falcons have allowed six dashing touchdowns over their final three video games. Every of the final three RB1s to face them has topped 20 PPR factors. In the meantime, the Niners' huge receiver accidents lastly led them to focus on McCaffrey 10 occasions final week. The consequence was 9 catches for 53 yards. I’m sure that this isn’t what Kyle Shanahan wish to see week in and week out, however that is his new regular, at the least for now. Clearly, the receptions make his DK worth significantly stronger than his FD worth, however he additionally has seven scores over his final 5 video games.

Chuba Hubbard ($6,700 DK, $7,100 FD), Panthers (vs. TB) The Buccaneers have been very robust in opposition to the run. Just one group has allowed fewer dashing yards per sport, and that group isn’t on this slate. That stated, Hubbard has scored and/or topped 100 whole yards in each sport this season. That is superb since he has confronted just one group within the prime half of the league in factors allowed to the working again place. The sport script must be in Hubbard's favor because the Panthers ought to bounce out to a giant lead in opposition to a group scoring 9.4 PPG lower than Carolina.

Bijan Robinson ($8,500 DK, $9,400 FD), Falcons (vs. SF) Robinson is coming off a pair of underwhelming fantasy performances in opposition to the seventh- and fifth-ranked dashing defenses. Even in these video games, he averaged 5.7 yards per carry. So, he’s nonetheless being environment friendly with the carries that he’s getting. Now, he faces a San Francisco protection that has been robust on the run, however that has allowed 5 of six RB1s to prime 15 PPR factors. Plus, Brian Robinson (hamstring) is out, which ought to increase Bijan's touches.

Sleepers

Ollie Gordon II ($5,500 DK, $6,000 FD), Dolphins (@ NYJ) During the last three video games, just one group is permitting extra dashing yards per sport than the Jets. I'm by no means going to be overly enthusiastic about taking part in any member of this Dolphins' roster, however Gordon has scored in three straight video games, and he did this in opposition to the sixth-, first- and ninth-ranked working again fantasy factors per sport defenses. Use Gordon as a runback RB2 in Geno Smith stacks.

Tony Pollard ($5,300 DK, $5,600 FD), Titans (vs. CLE) One other decrepit offense that I may have to focus on this week is the Titans. Pollard faces a Cleveland protection that amazingly held Derrick Henry in verify final week, however that allowed 15+ PPR factors per sport to the prior three RB1s that it confronted. Pollard hasn't been notably good this season, however he holds a commanding 100-35 benefit in touches over Tyjae Spears. He wants the rating to succeed in 3x, however it might simply occur given the contact rely.

Large Receiver

Weekly Technique – With Davante Adams (knee) out, Puka Nacua (calf) would probably see almost 20 targets. Sadly, Nacua suffered a calf problem on Thursday, and he’s now questionable. If he performs, he would be the prime scorer at any place this week. Ja'Marr Chase, Amon-Ra St. Brown and Malik Nabers are the highest pivots. I additionally like each Panthers' starters and each Packers' starters. I’ll have at the least a type of 4 in all of my lineups. It could be as an affordable WR1 or an costly WR2. Jameson Williams is sensible as a WR2 pivot from St. Brown in Packers-Lions sport stacks. The remainder of the WR2 discipline is sketchy. I like Denzel Boston, Keenan Allen, Jaylin Noel and Omar Cooper Jr., however none jumps off the web page. I may spend up and get two of the highest 9 I already listed. WR3 can be fairly ugly. You may take a flyer on Ja'Kobi Lane, Savion Williams (ankle), Isaac TeSlaa, Chris Bell and Christian Kirk. With the pool of gamers wanting this shady, that is in all probability the week to spend up for extra sanity.

Fantasy four-pack.

Puka Nacua ($8,400 DK, $9,100 FD), Rams (@ LV) You by no means really want to justify taking part in Nacua (calf), however now that Davante Adams (IR – hamstring) will miss a lot of the remainder of the common season, Nacua turns into much more useful. Adams missed three video games on the finish of final season. In these video games, Nacua posted 27-348-4 on 37 targets. These numbers really feel amateurish after watching Nacua submit 17-138-1 on 24 targets simply two weeks in the past. Nacua got here down with a calf problem midweek, however I anticipate him to play. If he goes, he might be a 25-plus level participant. Simply verify again to substantiate he goes. If he’s out, the tight ends and Konata Mumpfield will see an infinite increase.

Amon-Ra St. Brown ($7,800 DK, $9,000 FD), Lions (vs. GB) I’ll have extra publicity to the Inexperienced Bay aspect of this contest. Concentrating on the house group's prime receiving choice on this sport isn't a nasty technique. I simply want his worth was decrease. Sport stacks turn into more durable when utilizing St. Brown versus Jameson Williams or Sam LaPorta. Nonetheless, I wouldn't really feel dangerous when you use St. Brown as a runback to the Packers' stacks. Plus, following back-to-back mid-level performances by Amon-Ra, his possession might be among the many lowest on this sport, making this a possible slate-breaker.

Ja'Marr Chase ($8,100 DK, $8,800 FD), Bengals (@ BAL) Chase has at all times destroyed the Ravens. In 11 profession matchups, Chase has double-digit targets and seven-plus receptions in 9 of them. He additionally topped 100 receiving yards in six of these video games (together with the final 4), and he even topped 200 receiving yards in two of these contests. Chase hasn't seen a 100-yard sport but this season, however that adjustments this weekend.

Malik Nabers ($6,800 DK, $7,900 FD), Giants (@ HOU) It didn't matter who was below heart for the Giants final week, as each Jameis Winston and J.J. McCarthy repeatedly focused Nabers and Isaiah Possible. Final week's outing was a 3rd straight 100-plus yard sport for Nabers, and he now has 35 targets during the last two weeks. In the meantime, the Texans have slowed down the final two WR1s that they’ve confronted, however the first 4 they confronted this season posted a mean of 8.8-107 with 5 touchdowns. Take into account a McCarthy-Nabers-Possible stack, after which use your financial savings to land each Jahmyr Gibbs and Christian McCaffrey.

Sleepers

Keenan Allen ($4,800 DK, $5,900 FD), Colts (@ MIN) With the continued absence of Alec Pierce (IR – heel), Allen is flying below the radar proper now as he has seen 29 targets over his final three video games. He additionally has 5 or extra receptions in 4 of his 5 video games. Minnesota's protection will frustrate the Colts offense, however I anticipate Allen will get free typically sufficient to tug in 6-55-1.

Omar Cooper Jr. ($4,100 DK, $5,100 FD), Jets (vs. MIA) Cooper caught his first profession goal for a 30-yard reception approach again in Week 1. He then promptly discovered himself on the IR and lacking the following 4 weeks. In Week 6, he returned and instantly made his presence felt. After that efficiency, I’m able to proclaim Cooper as the highest rookie huge receiver of this draft class. Issues will solely get higher as he continues to develop, and that begins this week in opposition to arguably the worst group within the league.

Tight Finish

Weekly technique –George Kittle and Isaiah Possible are approaching the goal tier of Brock Bowers and Trey McBride. Amazingly, they’re each nonetheless less expensive. Additionally they each have higher matchups than Bowers and McBride. I'm at present planning on extensively taking part in each Tucker Kraft and Sam LaPorta in opposition to one another. Tyler Higbee (and Colby Parkinson) ought to see a goal increase with Davante Adams out. The opposite low cost performs that I like are Dalton Schultz and Greg Dulcich.

Fantasy four-pack

Isaiah Possible ($5,300 DK, $5,500 FD), Giants (@ HOU) Possible will in all probability be in as a lot of my lineups as attainable. The one comparable tight finish to face the Texans and never produce a stable line was Jake Ferguson, and that was within the sport the place CeeDee Lamb was force-fed 21 targets. During the last three weeks, solely three gamers have extra targets than Possible (together with the aforementioned Lamb). That quantity can solely imply manufacturing so long as J.J. McCarthy doesn't discover himself out of his depth.

George Kittle ($5,700 DK, $6,500 FD), 49ers (@ ATL) Kittle has topped 69 yards and scored at the least as soon as in 4 of his six video games. That is downright absurd contemplating that almost all docs and fantasy analysts assumed that he can be fully ineffectual till halfway by means of the season due to final season's season-ending Achilles damage. Thankfully for Kittle, he’s one robust dude, and admittedly, the Niners have wanted him to be a workhorse with all of their different accidents. 4 of the six TE1s to face the Falcons have reached double-digit PPR factors; Kittle will attain this mark simply.

Trey McBride ($7,400 DK, $7,200 FD), Cardinals (vs. DEN) McBride has been a mannequin of consistency, recording 9 or extra targets and 7 or extra receptions in each sport this season. What has been disappointing is that the group continues to make the most of backup tight ends Teagen Quitorino and Elijah Higgins greater than anybody wish to see. Patrick Surtain II (ankle) could return this week, however would Denver even have him cowl McBride? I'm guessing that Surtain and Riley Moss put a stranglehold on Michael Wilson and Kendrick Bourne, leaving McBride free to roam the center of the sphere.

Brock Bowers ($7,700 DK, $8,000 FD), Raiders (vs. LAR) The "vaunted" Rams' protection seems to be quite a bit shakier following additional accidents to key elements. Nonetheless, I’m wondering if the Raiders have sufficient complementary items to maintain the remaining Rams' defenders from keying on Bowers this week. We noticed it come into play final week, as Buffalo shut Bowers down for a lot of the first half of their sport. Ultimately, the Raiders acquired Bowers concerned, and he nonetheless tied Michael Mayer for the group lead in targets. That stated, will different groups comply with this technique and blanket Bowers the remainder of the season? At this worth, it's gonna be laborious to get excited for him right here. Nonetheless, he’ll in all probability end with 6-60-1, which might be a top-five level whole on an in any other case ugly slate.

Sleepers

Tucker Kraft ($4,700 DK, $5,500 FD), Packers (@ DET) Each Kraft and Sam LaPorta make stable performs this week of their matchup. There may be even an argument for enjoying each of them. Due to all of their secondary accidents, the Lions have been putrid in opposition to opposing tight ends. This season, they’ve allowed a number of tight finish touchdowns in 4 of 5 contests and a mean of 33.7 PPR factors per sport to the place.

Tyler Higbee ($3,500 DK, $4,900 FD), Rams (@ LV) With Davante Adams (IR – hamstring) heading to the IR, somebody wants to choose up the slack of the 8.2 targets per week that he was seeing. Assuming he performs, a big share of that may fall on the ft of Puka Nacua, however each Higbee and Colby Parkinson ought to see a lift in worth too. Higbee solely performed one of many three video games that Adams missed on the finish of final season, however in that sport he posted 5-91-1. That’s definitely throughout the realm of outcomes right here, however I might be proud of 4-50-1. That will nonetheless be 3x on each websites. If Nacua misses this sport, Higbee could hit 5x on each websites.
