I'll by no means perceive the knee-jerk reactions of NFL coaches. RB Jeff Wilson Jr. has been stellar within the backfield for the 49ers. He's twelfth in dashing within the NFL, forward of such luminaries as Christian McCaffrey, Joe Mixon and Jonathan Taylor. 92% of all fantasy house owners began Wilson in opposition to the Falcons as he was ranked a top-ten RB final week. But when he fumbled within the sport, Wilson was summarily benched by teaching “genius” Kyle Shanahan and solely touched the ball three extra occasions. The 49ers went pass-heavy after that. QB Jimmy Garoppolo threw two interceptions in an embarrassing loss. Wilson’s Fantasy house owners misplaced as nicely. He has fumbled simply 5 occasions in his profession, so the punishment was punitive and a blow to his psyche. I notice NFL coaches don’t cater to Fantasy Soccer, however thanks for nothing Kyle Shanahan. You’re not so good. As we have a look at our Giddy Ups! and Whoa Downs! for Week 7, be certain that to examine the NFL damage studies earlier than submitting your lineups.
GIDDY UP!
Dak Prescott, QB — Welcome again Dak. Now that his fractured thumb has healed, I can consider no higher opponent for Dak to face than the Detroit Kittycats. it’s a nasty Lions cross D when even Carson Wentz put up three TDs and 300 yards.
Matt Ryan, QB — Three brief weeks in the past in Tennessee, Ryan pummeled the Titans’ hapless Thirty second-ranked cross protection for 30 Fantasy factors. I see a repeat efficiency at house, particularly with RB Jonathan Taylor nonetheless not 100%.
Travis Etienne, RB — The RB pecking order in Jacksonville is shifting away from James Robinson and in direction of Etienne. He’s averaged six yards per carry during the last three video games. It’s an ideal matchup this week because the Giants hand over about … six yards per carry.
Kenyan Drake, RB — I really like the Drake. He blew up the stats board along with his stunning sixth-place PPR end for RBs, subbing for an ailing J.Ok. Dobbins. If Dobbins is out this week, the sky’s the restrict for the Drake in opposition to Cleveland’s sieve-like run D.
Chris Godwin, WR — Godwin has but to attain this yr as a result of Tom Brady has thrown for one TD in 5 of the final six video games. Very un-Brady-like. Optimistic regression says Brady will put up three TDs on the Panthers, and Godwin will get his first tuddy.
Michael Gallup, WR — It’s been a sluggish restoration from a torn ACL for Gallup. His taking part in time has elevated with every sport. The Lions will focus their efforts masking WR CeeDee Lamb, giving Gallup a “Giddy Up” sort of day.
Gerald Everett, TE — The Seahawks are the worst workforce within the NFL masking TEs. Even the massively disappointing Kyle Pitts put up 87 yards on them. Everett is my seventh-rated TE for the week, proper between Zach Ertz and David Njoku.
WHOA DOWN!
Taylor Heinicke, QB — Don’t look within the trash for Fantasy gold. I do know Heinicke had some stunning Fantasy stats final yr, however don’t get cute by beginning him over Aaron Rodgers or Matt Ryan. Going through a ticked-off Packers workforce that simply misplaced to the Jets just isn't a really perfect spot.
Tua Tagovailoa, QB — If we take away Tua’s outlier efficiency in opposition to the Ravens, he's averaging 15 factors per sport. You gained’t win many Fantasy video games with a 15-point QB.
David Montgomery, RB — Da Bears offense is in hibernation. Touring to New England for Monday Night time Soccer to fight the top-ranked run protection just isn't going to wake Montgomery and his fellow bruins from their slumber.
Eno Benjamin, RB — Final week’s waiver-wire lottery ticket was a grade-A bust for Eno’s debut as a beginning RB. Arizona retains investing in ability gamers (i.e., buying and selling for Robbie Anderson). Perhaps they need to spend money on a good offensive line.
Terry McLaurin, WR — “Scary Terry”? Extra like “Opposite Terry.” He’s carried out simply the other of what was anticipated this yr. Heinicke should throw fast outs to keep away from the Inexperienced Bay cross rush. Seems to be extra like a Curtis Samuel sport.
Jerry Jeudy, WR — After two nationally televised disasters, it’s time to be Bronco busters. How will you presumably begin Jeudy? Or Cortland Sutton or Melvin Gordon?
Robert Tonyan, TE — Tonyan had a powerful 10 catches for 90 yards final week. I believe that complete will get lower in half this week.
