WEEK 7 RUNNING BACKS ๐Ÿ”ฅ 7 RBs have Mike's attention heading into Week 7... ๐Ÿ‘€ 1. JAHMYR GIBBS (vs GB) โ€” Elite player. Elite game environment. We've seen this movie before. 2. CHRISTIAN MCCAFFREY (@ ATL) โ€” The 49ers are decimated at WR, setting CMC up for another big receiving workload with plenty of TD equity. Underpriced. 3. BIJAN ROBINSON (vs SF) โ€” Atlanta paid the price for not getting Bijan involved enough last week. With the backfield all to himself, this sets up as a smash spot. 4. WOODY MARKS (vs NYG) โ€” Injuries have pushed Marks into a bell-cow role, and the matchup couldn't be much better. 5. BUCKY IRVING (@ CAR) โ€” His role keeps growing, Egbuka is out, and Baker is back. More touches and more scoring opportunities could be coming. Two more RBs made Mike's list, including a potential smash play if an injury breaks his way. ๐Ÿ‘€ Find the full Player Grids from @mjohnson_86 at @OneWeekSeason! ๐Ÿ”ฅ

WEEK 6 PASS CATCHERS TO FINISH IN FIRST๐Ÿ”ฅ Building a sharper WR/TE pool starts here. Mike's Week 6 targets... ๐ŸŽฏ WIDE RECEIVERS 1. DRAKE LONDON (vs CHI) โ€” Dominant receiver in a great matchup. Still searching for his first TD of the season, but a breakout could be coming in a big way. 2. PUKA NACUA // DAVANTE ADAMS (vs ARI) โ€” Elite talent in an incredible matchup. The Rams are positioned to put up a ton of points, giving both receivers massive upside. 3. LUTHER BURDEN III // ROME ODUNZE (@ ATL) โ€” The Bears haven't hit their stride offensively yet, but both receivers have the talent to deliver in a favorable matchup. 4. MICHAEL WILSON (@ LAR) โ€” Don't forget what Wilson did in Weeks 3 and 4, or how productive he was without MHJ last season. The upside is still there. 5. MALIK NABERS (vs NO) โ€” One of the league's most talented receivers against a Saints secondary that could struggle to contain him. ๐ŸšจGET AN INNER CIRCLE PASS FOR JUST $1 THIS WEEK! Unlock more Week 6 DFS insights at OneWeekSeason! TIGHT ENDS 6. ISAIAH LIKELY (vs NO) โ€” Ranks 3rd among ALL players in target share this season. Severely underpriced in a favorable matchup. 7. BROCK BOWERS (vs BUF) โ€” A massive ceiling with a salary that could keep ownership in check. An appealing tournament option. Find the rest of Mike's WR/TE targets, including low-owned upside plays and underpriced tight ends, in @mjohnson_86's DK/FD Player Grids at @OneWeekSeason! ๐Ÿ”ฅ

WEEK 6 RUNNING BACKS ๐Ÿ”ฅ 10 RB targets have Mike's attention heading into Week 6... ๐Ÿ‘€ 1. BIJAN ROBINSON (vs CHI) โ€” Three 30-point games in five weeks. With the Falcons in a strong spot against Chicago, Bijan has a real shot at making it four out of six. 2. JAMES COOK (@ LV) โ€” Elite run blocking meets a vulnerable run defense. Add Cook's explosive ability, and you've got an elite GPP option. 3. RHAMONDRE STEVENSON (vs NYJ) โ€” Henderson's expected return could actually help keep ownership down without significantly changing Stevenson's workload. AN INNER CIRCLE PASS IS JUST $1 THIS WEEK! Check it out at @OneWeekSeason! 4. KYREN WILLIAMS // BLAKE CORUM (vs ARI) โ€” The Rams should score plenty this week. Kyren is massively underpriced if his role holds, while Corum has multiple paths to paying off if touches become more balanced. 5. D'ANDRE SWIFT (@ ATL) โ€” A workhorse back who already delivered a massive Week 1 performance in a similar matchup with Caleb Williams under center. Find the rest of @mjohnson_86's RB targets, including cheap lead backs and lower-owned tournament options, in Mike's DK/FD Player Grids at @OneWeekSeason! ๐Ÿ”ฅ

Top Waiver Adds โ€” Week 3 QB: Tyler Shough (LV @ NO) RB: Jonah Coleman (LAR @ DEN) WR: Tre Tucker (LV @ NO) TE: Oronde Gadsden (LAC @ BUF) DST: Chiefs (KC @ MIA) Your Waiver Guide for Week 3 ๐Ÿ‘‡ QB STREAMERS TYLER SHOUGH (NO @ LVR) Shough barely qualifies for our under-50% threshold and probably wonโ€™t be available here for long. The Saints running game is struggling, while Shough is adding value through the air and on the ground. BRYCE YOUNG (CAR @ CLE) Young has gotten off to a strong start and now gets a solid matchup with Cleveland, followed by a potential shootout with Detroit. A strong fill-in for managers who just lost Jayden Daniels. DREW LOCK (SEA @ WAS) Lock balled out against Arizona and showed he can do the most important thing: get the ball to JSN. If Shough or Young aren't available, Lock is a solid consolation option against Washington. RUNNING BACK JONAH COLEMAN (DEN @ LAR) Denver played without RJ Harvey, then lost JK Dobbins to a hamstring injury. Coleman made the most of his opportunities and now has a chance to carve out a significant role. EMMETT JOHNSON (KC @ MIA) Johnson has been electric with his opportunities, and the Chiefs offense looks elite. He should continue seeing work, and if KW3 ever misses time, Johnson would immediately become a major fantasy option. KEATON MITCHELL (LAC @ BUF) The Chargers offense desperately needs a spark, and Mitchell has the speed to provide one. Omarion Hampton has also fumbled in consecutive weeks, making this backfield worth monitoring. TANK BIGSBY (PHI @ CHI) Saquon Barkley played sparingly after suffering a stinger, and Bigsby stepped into the lead role while handling goal-line work. Heโ€™s one play away from becoming a difference-maker. GEORGE HOLANI (SEA @ WAS) Rookie RB Jadarian Price suffered a chest contusion and did not finish the game. If Price misses Week 3, Holani gets a solid matchup against Washington and becomes a viable Flex option. WIDE RECEIVER TRE TUCKER ( LV @ NO) Tucker will have his ups and downs, but Week 2 showed how well his speed fits Klint Kubiakโ€™s offense. He shouldnโ€™t be sitting on waivers in any league. DENZEL BOSTON (CAR @ CLE) Two weeks. Two long touchdowns. When a rookie WR starts his career like this, we need to take notice. RASHOD BATEMAN (BAL @ DAL) We donโ€™t know how long Zay Flowers will be out, but Bateman is the obvious WR1 while heโ€™s gone. He played 93% of the snaps in Week 2 and now gets Dallas. ADONAI MITCHELL (NYJ @ DET) Twelve targets in Week 2, followed by a matchup with Detroitโ€™s leaky pass defense in a dome. The talent is there, and now the opportunity is starting to match it. MALIK WASHINGTON (KC @ MIA) Garbage-time points count just the same in fantasy football. Washington should continue seeing targets as Miami plays from behind. TIGHT END ORONDE GADSDEN (LAC @ BUF) The Chargers have lost David Njoku and Charlie Kolar to IR, and the offense needs a spark. Gadsden scored a touchdown in Week 2 and could be part of the answer. PAT FREIERMUTH (CIN @ PIT) Five targets in each of the first two games and a favorite red-zone target of Aaron Rodgers. Now he gets a Bengals defense that has been friendly to tight ends. TERRANCE FERGUSON (LAR @ DEN) After a goose egg in Week 1, Ferguson showed why there was so much hype around him this summer. If Puka Nacua misses meaningful time, Ferguson could become a weekly top-10 TE option. Kenyon Sadiq, NYJ The first-round pick hasnโ€™t done much yet, but the talent is there and the role should continue to grow. DEFENSE STREAMERS CHIEFS A good defense facing Miami. PACKERS The Packers defense has been solid outside of the fourth quarter of Week 1. Now they get an Atlanta offense that has struggled, on a short week. VIKINGS They're over 50% owned and face a decent Tampa offense this week, but keep them in mind for Week 4 against Miami. If they're still available, theyโ€™re worth stashing now. Tune in every Tuesday Morning for @mjohnson_86's Top Waiver Adds

Week 1 can change your fantasy season on the waiver wire. It can also trick you into chasing points that wonโ€™t return. Six rushing TDs from the Bears. Nine targets for DeVaughn Vele. Fourteen carries for Kaelon Black. An 8-138-2 breakout from Jalen Coker. We went through every game to figure out what matters, what doesnโ€™t and who you should be considering before waivers run. ๐Ÿ‘‡ ๐Ÿ”– Bookmark this one for later. ๐—ฃ๐—”๐—ง๐—ฅ๐—œ๐—ข๐—ง๐—ฆ๐ŸŸฆ ๐—”๐—ง ๐—ฆ๐—˜๐—”๐—›๐—”๐—ช๐—ž๐—ฆ๐ŸŸข ๐—ฆ๐—ฎ๐—บ ๐——๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ป๐—ผ๐—น๐—ฑ left early with a hip injury and is expected to miss at least Week 2. ๐——๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐˜„ ๐—Ÿ๐—ผ๐—ฐ๐—ธ looked serviceable enough to keep ๐—๐—ฆ๐—ก cooking, but the rest of the Seattle passing game can probably be avoided for now.

He was the only other SF RB active behind CMC and immediately becomes one of the more important RB handcuffs. Rookie ๐——๐—ฒโ€™๐—ญ๐—ต๐—ฎ๐˜‚๐—ป ๐—ฆ๐˜๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐—ฏ๐—น๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด had a full-time WR role before suffering an ankle injury.

CONQUER THE BEST BALL WEEKEND ON DRAFTERS Before you start clicking names, understand the game youโ€™re actually playing. Drafters cumulative Best Ball is very different from the playoff formats on Underdog and DraftKings. Mike Johnson has put together a full breakdown of how to attack it. Hereโ€™s where to start ๐Ÿ‘‡ 1๏ธโƒฃ RACE TO 2,800 The first question is simple: What does it actually take to win? Historical Drafters results show that roughly 2,800 points is the target for a roster that wants to compete near the top. That gives us a starting point for everything that comes after. 2๏ธโƒฃ POSITIONAL SILOS Once we know the target, how do we get there? Instead of thinking about our roster week-by-week, think about it position-by-position across all 17 weeks. 2,800 points รท 8 starting positions = roughly 350 points per silo. That changes how we should think about draft capital. 3๏ธโƒฃ USABLE WEEKS / POINTS ADDED A player scoring 200 points isn't automatically a great pick. The real question: How often are those points actually helping our roster? A steady player who scores 10โ€“15 points every week may accumulate stats without meaningfully improving our lineup. This is where Usable Weeks and Points Added become critical. 4๏ธโƒฃ QB QUOTIENT Quarterback is one of the easiest places to overspend. Drafters gives us a relatively narrow range of QB production, which means spending premium draft capital at the position can cost us more valuable opportunities elsewhere. Mike's QB Quotient gives us a framework for understanding exactly how much we're investing. 5๏ธโƒฃ SACRIFICING A SILO This is where things get really interesting. Instead of trying to build a perfectly balanced roster, what if we intentionally leave one position uncomfortable? By taking more shots later at one silo, we can use our draft capital to supercharge the rest of the roster. It's uncomfortable. That's the point. Drafters rewards a different way of thinking about Best Ball. These pieces will help you understand the format before you start drafting. And if you're ready to put it into practice: FIRST-TIME DRAFTERS PLAYERS: Use code OWS for a 100% deposit match up to $100 RETURNING DRAFTERS PLAYERS: Use code OWSRELOAD10 for a 10% deposit match up to $100 (one-time use) Big drafting weekend.

DFS TRAINING CAMP As Week 1 gets closer, most DFS conversations will move toward the same question: Who are the best plays? But before we start choosing players, we want to spend some time on how we make those decisions in the first place. Over the next couple of weeks, weโ€™re going to release a seven-part OWS Training Camp series, with a new article coming roughly every other day leading into the season. We went back through the evergreen courses in the OWS Marketplace and pulled out seven key concepts that can help us prepare for the year ahead. Inner Circle members can access all of those courses for free. But for this series, weโ€™re bringing some of the most useful lessons here for everyone to work through together. Weโ€™ll talk about projections. Chalk. Roster construction. Stacking. Leverage. Biases. And the process that connects everything once a slate is in front of us. These articles wonโ€™t tell you which running back to play in Week 1. Theyโ€™re meant to help us better understand the decisions underneath that choice. Itโ€™s about how a lineup works together, what the field is likely to do, which assumptions weโ€™re making, and what has to happen for our roster to actually reach first place. Think of this as our preseason training camp for decision-making. Seven articles. One idea at a time. A chance to get our minds back into DFS mode before Week 1.

This is correct. 100% a penalty. Problem is almost all amateur golfers don't know/understand the rule. Long grass near the ball you don't get to stand where he did regardless of your intent.
Bryson should absolutely be penalized for this, itโ€™s a clear rule violation. Yes, other players (Wyndham Clark comes to mind) have gotten away with similar infractions before. But the right conclusion isnโ€™t that Bryson should get a pass from the R&A because PGA Tour officials arenโ€™t strict enough. Itโ€™s that those other players should have been penalized as well. I really hope the PGAT officials are more consistent with the rules regarding things of this nature going forward.

32 Teams/32 Days Day 12: MINNESOTA VIKINGS The market is pricing Minnesota's skill players as if a bounce back is baked in. But there's at least one player where that assumption creates a trap. And another where it creates a steal. OVERVIEW: โ€ข Murray and McCarthy competing for QB1 โ€ข Jauan Jennings replaces Jalen Nailor โ€ข Flores returns for fourth year as DC BULL CASE: โ€ข QB play can only improve โ€” McCarthy has tools and a full season of experience, Murray has O'Connell's elite coaching โ€ข Jefferson, Addison, Jennings, and Hockenson give either QB a loaded weapon set โ€ข This offense ranked top 12 in yards per game in three of the last four non-disaster seasons BEAR CASE: โ€ข Both QBs struggle with timing and anticipation โ€” the exact opposite of what O'Connell's scheme demands โ€ข 2025 already showed us the floor: bottom-five offense, low volume, and a run-heavy game script โ€ข Mobile QBs who run frequently cannibalize production from skill position players The MINNESOTA VIKINGS full team preview can be viewed for FREE at @oneweekseason (link in bio)
