Are you contending for a fantasy title in 2019? Do you have extra picks or young prospects that won’t assist you in your quest for fantasy glory this year or the next?This article is dedicated to those dynasty owners competing for championships and looking to capitalize on the veteran value this year.
Russell Wilson ($6,600)
So far this season Seattle has displayed a rather middle of the road defense, which has often forced Russell Wilson to be more aggressive both as a runner and a passer. That has quietly translated into averages of 284 passing yards and over 25 rushing yards per game with 17 combined touchdowns through the first six weeks. This week the Ravens come to town, but this game profiles to be nothing like we would have imagined just a season or two ago. These days Baltimore’s defense is arguably worse than Seattle’s, while at the same time second-year quarterback Lamar Jackson has been giving defensive coordinators nightmares and has the team averaging more than 30 points per game. That makes this exactly the type of spot where Wilson has historically put the Seahawks on his back, and this game has all the makings of a high-scoring affair where he should put up a huge fantasy day.

Let’s start with the obvious news. The Giants are likely getting their star running back Saquon Barkley back for this matchup against the Cardinals. Evan Engram is also likely to return as well, which means that Daniel Jones should perform far better than his last outing. Facing a Cardinals team that has allowed nearly 414 yards per game at home, why on Earth would anyone pick Arizona in this matchup?
It’s time to look at your stocks and see which net assets are worth keeping or buying and which ones need to be liquidated. I wish everyone the best of luck and may this be the beginning of your quest for the championship!
Josh Allen put on one of his best performances of the season just a week after suffering a concussion against the New England Patriots. He didn’t set the world on fire, but he was more than competent in leading his team to victory. He threw for a season-high 71.88% completion rate and the only two scores for the Bills against the number six passing defense in the league. Allen has also rushed for three touchdowns this season and is averaging 31.6 yards-per-game, down from 52.6 in 2018. That said, his rushing production thrusts him into fantasy relevancy. He was the QB12 in Week 5 and is QB16 on the season after the bye week. Allen is a fringe top 12 quarterback rest of season and has even higher upside based on matchups. He gets the Dolphins in Week 7 and that means you want Josh Allen in your lineup.
With no blockbuster waiver-wire targets hitting the scene this week, it should be in the best interest of most redraft team owners to continue to save their waiver wire position or FAAB budget for when one does.But with that being said, it is still crucial to constantly be working the free-agent market to find the players that could lead to value and wins down the road.Here are your Week 7 “In the Scope” candidates that could soon be the top waiver claims of tomorrow.
0 – Games remaining on Jarran Reed’s six-game suspension. Expect Reed to be a top tier DT as early as next week. Poona Ford played 84% of snaps against Cleveland. That snap share will go down.
This series will attempt to bring clarity to the goings-on both on and off the field within each NFL Division so that dynasty owners can make the important roster decisions during the NFL season to help them build toward their championships. Our writers will be grinding the tape and keeping up with the media buzz surrounding players, coaches, and front office decision making so that they can keep you equipped with the “nuggets” you need to succeed.
6 – Total tackles by Najee Goode. Goode’s stat line included 1.0 sack and 1 PD. Goode played 95% of snaps and has fully replaced third-round rookie Quincy Williams. Williams looked foolish last week trying to tackle Christian McCafferty and has since been benched.
Auden Tate has become a consistent part of the Bengals offense through six weeks, an offense that has spent an average of 38 minutes and 47 seconds trailing per game. If this trend continues, and the Bengals have shown nothing to say that it won’t, Andy Dalton will be passing the ball a lot. The Bengals have averaged 40.5 passing attempts per game and since Week 2, an average of 8.5 targets per game have headed Auden Tate’s way. Their upcoming opponents and their once feared defenses have been middle of the pack this season when it comes to allowing fantasy points to wide receivers (JAX 15th and LAR 21st in points allowed to WRs in 2019).
If you follow my Twitter — which you should — you might know some of the myths/realities that I’m going to discuss in this article. If that’s the case, great! You can get my more in-depth opinions on some of these takes. If not, well, why aren’t you following me? Kidding aside, feel free to […]
Kirk Cousins (MIN) vs. Lions, 26.6% owned
All of a sudden, the Vikings have opened up their offense to include far more passing. Cousins has exceeded 300 passing yards in each of the last two weeks. In Week 6 against the Eagles, star receiver Stefon Diggs finally got going, breaking out for seven receptions, 167 yards, and three receiving touchdowns. Cousins also continued his chemistry with his other great receiver Adam Thielen, connecting for six receptions, 57 yards, and a touchdown. For the season, Cousins has nine passing touchdowns compared to just three interceptions, making him a reliable and relatively safe quarterback. To further advocate for Cousins, his Week 8 and Week 9 matchups are against the Redskins and Chiefs, respectively, so this could be a three-week run for Cousins. Given the poor state of streamers in Week 7, Cousins will likely be ranked as a borderline QB1 in a relatively neutral matchup against the Lions.
Week 7 sees some heavy offensive firepower on a break as the Carolina Panthers, Cleveland Browns, Pittsburgh Steelers, Tampa Bay Buccaneers all get their byes this week. Poor quarterback play seemed to be a theme this week. Thankfully, there were few injuries to contend with and our waiver wire recommendations are largely free of injury-related suggested pickups. A quick note before we get to this week’s article. If your waiver wire has a number of backup running backs available make sure you put a bid in on them. Running backs (and quarterbacks) are only play away from a starting job, unlike wide receivers.
The Colts started this season with one of the messiest depth charts at DE. Jabaal Sheard, Justin Houston, Al-Quaddin Muhammad, Kemoko Turay, and Ben Banogu. Sheard missed the first four games of the season. Back to full strength in Week 5 and Turay broke his ankle and will miss the remainder of the season. It’s a tough break for the second-round sophomore. Sheard will be a UFA following the season. If he doesn’t resign look for Houston, Turay, and Banogu to headline this group next season.
Welcome to part two of my weekly publication! As always, part one of this publication is my weekly picks against the spread, with a deep dive into three picks that I feel will provide a nice payout to bettors. In part two, I’ll be looking at three player props that I feel have a strong chance of paying out.

Each week I recap the top performances by this year’s rookie defenders. Some are well-known names and others come out of nowhere. Rookies are highly coveted in the dynasty community, but their value can be very volatile at times. In this series each week, we’ll look at their numbers and what impact they have. I am also including their snap counts and percentage of snaps. These snap counts can tell us a lot about how much a player is being used and the opportunities they have to make plays. I like to target rookies that play 80% plus of the team’s defensive snaps. Let’s jump right into this week’s group.
DJ Moore (WR – CAR)
The second-year WR out of Maryland was the second leading receiver on Panthers in Weeks 4 and 5. Note how I didn’t say WR, as RB Christain McCaffery has led the team in targets, catches, yards and touchdowns the past two weeks. However, on the year, Moore has been the most productive pass-catcher on the Panthers this season, leading the team with 352 yards, good for WR29 on the year prior to Monday Night Football. Moore is a solid WR2/3 option moving forward.
