New England Patriots running back Damien Harris has become the lead back, but was unable to do much last week. He rushed six times for 19 yards in the loss to the Denver Broncos. It won’t get any easier for Harris as he faces the San Francisco 49ers in Week 7. A team that has allowed the second fewest amount of fantasy points to opposing

New England Patriots quarterback Cam Newton has thrown for less than 200 yards in three of his four games this season. The veteran quarterback has been able to salvage his fantasy value by running the ball. He rushed for 76 yards and a touchdown in the loss to the Denver Broncos last week. Newton doesn’t have the best weapons in New England, so it’s unlikely

The Las Vegas Raiders defense has been statistically one of the worst defenses in the league this season. They are averaging under two fantasy points per game and face an ascending Buccaneers offense this week. Tom Brady is currently fourth in the league in passing touchdowns, and this Tampa Bay offense is ascending after hanging 31 offensive points on Green Bay in Week 6. The

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Darren Waller has a tough test against the Buccaneers this week, but he should be able to produce a solid fantasy performance. Waller has been great at home this season, with 21 catches, 193 yards, and a touchdown in two games. The Buccaneers have one of the league’s best defenses, but the Patriots are the only team to hold Waller

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Henry Ruggs III will have a tough matchup against a good Buccaneers secondary in Week 7. Ruggs had a breakout performance in his last game against the Chiefs, but his value rests with the deep ball at this time. That is not great news considering the Buccaneers are one of the best defenses against the deep ball, ranking third in

Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs will face one of the league’s best run defenses this week in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Buccaneers are allowing just three yards per carry and rank second in the league in total rushing yards allowed. Jacobs is having a productive year and is certainly a must-start option, but he is averaging just 3.6 yards per carry on

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Derek Carr will have one of his most difficult tests of the year against a great Buccaneers Defense. The Buccaneers defense has allowed just seven passing touchdowns and have grabbed eight interceptions in their six games this season. Opposing quarterbacks have a passer rating of 82 against this Todd Bowles defense. They confused Aaron Rodgers and made him uncomfortable, so this

The New Orleans Saints Defense faces a middle-of-the-pack matchup against the Carolina Panthers in Week 7. It’s a date with former Saint Teddy Bridgewater, who started five games for the team in 2019. New Orleans’ defense is finally starting to get healthy after a rash of injuries, as they will get Janoris Jenkins (shoulder) back and essentially be at full strength. This unit may start

New Orleans Saints kicker Wil Lutz faces a favorable matchup in Week 7 against the Carolina Panthers. Lutz is perfect on the season, having made all nine field-goals and all 18 extra-points. Carolina ranks 22nd in fantasy points allowed to kickers, making this a juicy matchup for Lutz. Expect strong fantasy numbers from the 26-year-old. Source: ESPN

New Orleans Saints tight end Jared Cook could see more opportunities in Week 7 against the Panthers. Cook had one of his better games against the Chargers, catching two passes for 52 yards and a score. New Orleans is down two of it’s best pass-catchers- Michael Thomas (ankle, hamstring) and Emmanuel Sanders (COVID-19)- heading into the contest against the Panthers. The veteran tight end should

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Tre’Quan Smith faces a tricky matchup in Week 7 against the Panthers. However, matchup concerns are alleviated by the fact that New Orleans will be without Michael Thomas (ankle, hamstring) and Emmanuel Sanders (COVID-19). Smith will be busy against a Panthers Defense that has surrendered the fourth-fewest fantasy points per game to wideouts. With a good chance of finding the

New Orleans Saints running back Latavius Murray has a favorable matchup in front of him against the Panthers in Week 7. Murray has had at least 13 touches in three of five contests this season, with two of those games coming against teams that struggle to stop the run. New Orleans will be without Michael Thomas (ankle, hamstring) and Emmanuel Sanders (COVID-19) against the Panthers’

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara gets an excellent matchup against the Panthers Defense. Kamara has offered fantasy managers the safest floor of any running back, particularly in PPR formats, as he’s had at least 19 fantasy points in every game this season. He’ll go up against a Panthers defense allowing the fourth-most fantasy points per game to opposing halfbacks. The Saints will probably

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees faces the Panthers in Week 7. Brees will face a sneakily-good Carolina defense without his top two receivers, Michael Thomas (ankle, hamstring) and Emmanuel Sanders (COVID-19). Despite not having Thomas, Brees has thrown for at least 250 yards or two touchdowns in each game this season, giving fantasy managers a solid floor. The Panthers allow the fourth-fewest fantasy points

The Atlanta Falcons Defense should not be on the fantasy football radar heading into a Week 7 matchup against the Detroit Lions. Detroit’s offense hasn’t been as strong as expected, though they haven’t been a matchup to stream defenses against either. They rank 15th in fantasy points allowed to opposing defenses, but the expected point total for this game makes the Falcons defense a unit

Atlanta Falcons kicker Younghoe Koo is shaping up to have a strong game against the Lions in Week 7. Koo has made at least two field-goals and an extra-point in every contest this season, giving him a stable floor for fantasy. With the point total set at 55, Koo could be very busy against the Lions on Sunday. Start him and expect a top-12 finish

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have reached an agreement to sign wide receiver Antonio Brown to a one-year deal. Brown will be eligible to make his 2020 debut as soon as Week 9, when Tampa Bay plays the New Orleans Saints on Sunday night. With Brown’s tremendous upside potential, he should be added in all leagues where he’s currently available. He’s teaming up with quarterback Tom

Atlanta Falcons tight end Hayden Hurst faces the Lions in Week 7. Hurst is coming off of a four-catch, 57-yard performance with a touchdown against the Vikings. The former Raven seems to benefit from the presence of Julio Jones (hamstring), as he’s averaged his highest yards per reception marks in the games where Jones has suited up. Detroit ranks second in fantasy points allowed to

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Russell Gage (shoulder) could be a sleeper in Week 7 against the Lions. He was a full participant all week, meaning he’s good to go for Sunday. Consider Gage’s numbers in the two full games that Julio Jones (hamstring) has played this year: 9-114-0 in Week 1 and 4-65-0 last week. It’s likely that the 24-year-old actually has a better fantasy

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley (elbow) is poised for another strong game in Week 7 against the Lions. Ridley has no injury designation after being limited all week, so he’s good to go for Sunday’s game. The 25-year-old ranks in the top-10 in targets, receptions, receiving yards and receiving touchdowns heading into a favorable matchup with a Lions Defense allowing the seventh-most fantasy points
