WEEK 7 RUNNING BACKS ๐ฅ
7 RBs have Mike's attention heading into Week 7... ๐
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. ๐

WEEK 6 PASS CATCHERS TO FINISH IN FIRST๐ฅ
Building a sharper WR/TE pool starts here. Mike's Week 6 targets... ๐ฏ
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.

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.

WEEK 6 RUNNING BACKS ๐ฅ
10 RB targets have Mike's attention heading into Week 6... ๐
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.

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 ๐
QB STREAMERS
TYLER SHOUGH (NO @ LVR)
Shough barely qualifies for our under-50% threshold and probably wonโt 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. Heโs 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 Kubiakโs offense. He shouldnโt 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 donโt know how long Zay Flowers will be out, but Bateman is the obvious WR1 while heโs 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 Detroitโs 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 hasnโt 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, theyโre worth stashing now.
Tune in every Tuesday Morning for @mjohnson_86's Top Waiver Adds
Mike Johnson retweeted
Week 1 can change your fantasy season on the waiver wire.
It can also trick you into chasing points that wonโt 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 doesnโt and who you should be considering before waivers run. ๐

๐ฃ๐๐ง๐ฅ๐๐ข๐ง๐ฆ๐ฆ ๐๐ง ๐ฆ๐๐๐๐๐ช๐๐ฆ๐ข
๐ฆ๐ฎ๐บ ๐๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ป๐ผ๐น๐ฑ left early with a hip injury and is expected to miss at least Week 2. ๐๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ ๐๐ผ๐ฐ๐ธ looked serviceable enough to keep ๐๐ฆ๐ก cooking, but the rest of the Seattle passing game can probably be avoided for now.
Rookie RB ๐๐ฎ๐ฑ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ฎ๐ป ๐ฃ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ฐ๐ฒ looked the part in his NFL debut, rushing 10 times and catching both targets for 58 scrimmage yards. He was the only Seattle RB behind CMC in the opener and immediately jumps near the top of the handcuff list.
๐ฅ๐ต๐ฎ๐บ๐ผ๐ป๐ฑ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐ฆ๐๐ฒ๐๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ผ๐ป dominated RB opportunities with 23 touches while ๐ง๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฉ๐ฒ๐๐ผ๐ป ๐๐ฒ๐ป๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐๐ผ๐ป sat with an ankle injury. He remains a volume-based fantasy starter as long as ๐๐ฒ๐ป๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐๐ผ๐ป is out.
๐๐ ๐๐ฟ๐ผ๐๐ป suffered a high ankle sprain and was placed on short-term IR. None of ๐ ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ธ ๐๐ผ๐น๐น๐ถ๐ป๐, ๐ฃ๐ผ๐ฝ ๐๐ผ๐๐ด๐น๐ฎ๐, or ๐ฅ๐ผ๐บ๐ฒ๐ผ ๐๐ผ๐๐ฏ๐ did much with ๐๐ฟ๐ผ๐๐ป sidelined, making this a WR room to avoid in the short term.
๐ก๐๐ก๐๐ฅ๐ฆโ๏ธ ๐๐ง ๐ฅ๐๐ ๐ฆ๐
๐๐ฎ๐ฒ๐น๐ผ๐ป ๐๐น๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ธ led San Francisco with 14 carries and looked like an intentional part of the gameplan. He was the only other SF RB active behind CMC and immediately becomes one of the more important RB handcuffs.
Rookie ๐๐ฒโ๐ญ๐ต๐ฎ๐๐ป ๐ฆ๐๐ฟ๐ถ๐ฏ๐น๐ถ๐ป๐ด had a full-time WR role before suffering an ankle injury. He avoided short-term IR as of this writing but could still miss time.
๐๐ฒ๐ผ๐ฟ๐ด๐ฒ ๐๐ถ๐๐๐น๐ฒ made a remarkably quick return from his Achilles tear, catching a couple short passes without any apparent setbacks. Better fantasy days should be ahead.
The Rams were mediocre in nearly every way. There should be better days ahead once theyโre back playing in North America.
๐๐จ๐๐๐๐ก๐๐๐ฅ๐ฆ๐ดโโ ๏ธ ๐๐ง ๐๐๐ก๐๐๐๐ฆ๐ฏ
The Bengals won a shootout without monster games from their offensive stars. ๐๐ต๐ฎ๐๐ฒ ๐๐ฟ๐ผ๐๐ป was solid with 78 scrimmage yards and a TD, while ๐๐ฎโ๐ ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฟ ๐๐ต๐ฎ๐๐ฒ and ๐ง๐ฒ๐ฒ ๐๐ถ๐ด๐ด๐ถ๐ป๐ combined for just 5-71 on 10 targets.
๐ ๐ถ๐ธ๐ฒ ๐๐ฒ๐๐ถ๐ฐ๐ธ๐ถ led Cincinnati in every receiving category and remains in the mix as a weekly back-end TE option.
๐๐๐ฐ๐ธ๐ ๐๐ฟ๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด led Tampa in both carries and targets, finishing with 93 scrimmage yards and a TD. ๐๐บ๐ฒ๐ธ๐ฎ ๐๐ด๐ฏ๐๐ธ๐ฎ led the WRs with five catches for 63 yards.
๐๐ฎ๐ธ๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐ ๐ฎ๐๐ณ๐ถ๐ฒ๐น๐ฑ had a chaotic day: 216 scoreless passing yards, a rushing TD, and three lost fumbles.
๐ฆ๐๐๐ก๐ง๐ฆ โ๏ธ๐๐ง ๐๐๐ข๐ก๐ฆ ๐ฆ
This game was a great example of the power of the Detroit offense. ๐๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐๐ผ๐ณ๐ณ threw 36 of 39 passes to ๐๐บ๐ผ๐ป-๐ฅ๐ฎ ๐ฆ๐. ๐๐ฟ๐ผ๐๐ป, ๐๐ฎ๐บ๐ฒ๐๐ผ๐ป ๐ช๐ถ๐น๐น๐ถ๐ฎ๐บ๐, ๐ฆ๐ฎ๐บ ๐๐ฎ๐ฃ๐ผ๐ฟ๐๐ฎ, and ๐๐ฎ๐ต๐บ๐๐ฟ ๐๐ถ๐ฏ๐ฏ๐, while ๐๐ถ๐ฏ๐ฏ๐ handled 29 of 31 RB carries.
๐ง๐๐น๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐ฆ๐ต๐ผ๐๐ด๐ต struggled early before salvaging his fantasy day with 410 yards and three late TDs. The turnovers and sacks were ugly, but the volume is certainly there.
๐ง๐ฟ๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ ๐๐๐ถ๐ฒ๐ป๐ป๐ฒ split carries with ๐๐ฒ๐ป๐ฑ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐ ๐ถ๐น๐น๐ฒ๐ฟ and added seven catches on nine targets. ๐ ๐ถ๐น๐น๐ฒ๐ฟ is an interesting bench stash as a talented handcuff in a high-volume offense.
๐๐ฒ๐ฉ๐ฎ๐๐ด๐ต๐ป ๐ฉ๐ฒ๐น๐ฒ tied for second on the Saints with nine targets and turned them into a 7-69-1 line. He looks like a legitimate waiver add and short-term starter.
๐๐๐ง๐ฆโ๏ธ ๐๐ง ๐ง๐๐ง๐๐ก๐ฆโ๏ธ
๐๐ฒ๐ป๐ผ ๐ฆ๐บ๐ถ๐๐ต completed 19/24 passes for 215 yards in a game the Jets never trailed. He looked competent enough to keep ๐๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐๐ ๐ช๐ถ๐น๐๐ผ๐ป and ๐๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ฐ๐ฒ ๐๐ฎ๐น๐น fantasy relevant, with ๐๐ฎ๐น๐น finishing with 118 scrimmage yards and a TD.
๐๐ฎ๐บ ๐ช๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฑ struggled again, throwing for just 140 yards in a game Tennessee never led. His lone TD came down 20 points with under three minutes left.
๐ช๐ฎ๐ปโ๐๐ฎ๐น๐ฒ ๐ฅ๐ผ๐ฏ๐ถ๐ป๐๐ผ๐ป and ๐๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ป๐ฒ๐น๐น ๐ง๐ฎ๐๐ฒ each saw six targets and look like the Tennessee WRs to roster if Ward and the passing game can eventually get going.
๐ฅ๐๐ฉ๐๐ก๐ฆ๐ฆโโฌ ๐๐ง ๐๐ข๐๐ง๐ฆ๐
๐ญ๐ฎ๐ ๐๐น๐ผ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ was on his way to a monster game at 5-150-1 before leaving with a reported tweaked hamstring. ๐๐ฎโ๐๐ผ๐ฏ๐ถ ๐๐ฎ๐ป๐ฒ also left early with a wrist injury, while no other Baltimore WR saw more than two targets.
๐๐น๐ฒ๐ฐ ๐ฃ๐ถ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฐ๐ฒ tied for the Colts lead with six targets and led the team in receiving yards. ๐๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ป๐ฎ๐ป ๐๐น๐น๐ฒ๐ป caught six passes but none went for more than nine yards.
๐ง๐๐น๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐ช๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ป salvaged a quiet afternoon with a fourth-quarter TD. He remains a strong weekly TE option.
๐๐๐๐๐ข๐ก๐ฆ๐ฆ ๐๐ง ๐ฆ๐ง๐๐๐๐๐ฅ๐ฆ๐ก
๐๐ผ๐ผ๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐ฅ๐๐๐ต looked every bit like the spot starter we feared he might be, completing just four passes to WRs and none to TEs in a 143-yard performance. ๐๐ถ๐ท๐ฎ๐ป ๐ฅ๐ผ๐ฏ๐ถ๐ป๐๐ผ๐ป was the lone Falcon who escaped the damage.
A home matchup with Carolina should help the Atlanta offense next week, regardless of who starts at QB.
๐๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ป ๐ฅ๐ผ๐ฑ๐ด๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ spread the ball across seven players, but needed 40 attempts to reach 221-1. ๐๐ ๐ ๐ฒ๐๐ฐ๐ฎ๐น๐ณ led Pittsburgh with 10 targets but caught only four for 40 yards.
๐๐ฎ๐๐น๐ฒ๐ป ๐ช๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ป led the Steelers in carries, targets, and scrimmage yards despite an early fumble. ๐ฅ๐ถ๐ฐ๐ผ ๐๐ผ๐๐ฑ๐น๐ฒ handled 10 touches but did little with them.
๐๐๐๐ฅ๐ฆ๐ป ๐๐ง ๐ฃ๐๐ก๐ง๐๐๐ฅ๐ฆ๐โโฌ
The Bears ran for an incredible 291 yards and six TDs as a team. ๐โ๐๐ป๐ฑ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐ฆ๐๐ถ๐ณ๐ already looked like a potential league-winner, while ๐๐๐น๐ฒ ๐ ๐ผ๐ป๐ฎ๐ป๐ด๐ฎ๐ถ should be rostered everywhere as a complementary back and handcuff.
๐๐ฎ๐น๐ถ๐ณ ๐ฅ๐ฎ๐๐บ๐ผ๐ป๐ฑ led Chicago in targets, catches, and yards, while ๐๐ผ๐น๐ฒ ๐๐บ๐ฒ๐ and ๐๐ฎ๐ต๐ฑ๐ฎ๐ฒ ๐ช๐ฎ๐น๐ธ๐ฒ๐ฟ scored the TDs. Better days should be ahead for ๐๐๐๐ต๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐๐๐ฟ๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ป, ๐ฅ๐ผ๐บ๐ฒ ๐ข๐ฑ๐๐ป๐๐ฒ, and ๐๐ผ๐น๐๐๐ผ๐ป ๐๐ผ๐๐ฒ๐น๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ.
๐๐ฟ๐๐ฐ๐ฒ ๐ฌ๐ผ๐๐ป๐ด threw for 361 yards and accounted for four total TDs, leaning heavily on ๐ง๐ฒ๐๐ฎ๐ถ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ฎ ๐ ๐ฐ๐ ๐ถ๐น๐น๐ฎ๐ป and ๐๐ฎ๐น๐ฒ๐ป ๐๐ผ๐ธ๐ฒ๐ฟ. ๐๐ผ๐ธ๐ฒ๐ฟ exploded for 8-138-2 and immediately deserves waiver attention.
๐๐ฅ๐ข๐ช๐ก๐ฆ๐ค ๐๐ง ๐๐๐๐จ๐๐ฅ๐ฆ๐
๐ง๐ฟ๐ฒ๐๐ผ๐ฟ ๐๐ฎ๐๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ป๐ฐ๐ฒ threw his fourth TD with 12 minutes left before essentially putting the game away. He remains a solid weekly QB option.
๐๐ต๐ฎ๐๐๐ต๐๐น ๐ง๐๐๐ฒ๐ป handled 15 of Jacksonville's 25 RB carries and the only RB reception. Encouraging usage, although the matchup gets much tougher next week in Denver.
๐๐๐น๐ฎ๐ป ๐ฆ๐ฎ๐บ๐ฝ๐๐ผ๐ป left without a touch, leaving ๐ค๐๐ถ๐ป๐๐ต๐ผ๐ป ๐๐๐ฑ๐ธ๐ถ๐ป๐ with 14 touches and ๐ฅ๐ฎ๐ต๐ฒ๐ถ๐บ ๐ฆ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ with the only other RB opportunity.
๐๐ฒ๐๐ต๐ฎ๐๐ป ๐ช๐ฎ๐๐๐ผ๐ป looked better than expected but was still sloppy with the ball and took too many sacks. The bigger question is whether he can keep ๐๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ผ๐น๐ฑ ๐๐ฎ๐ป๐ป๐ถ๐ป, ๐๐ ๐๐ผ๐ป๐ฐ๐ฒ๐ฝ๐ฐ๐ถ๐ผ๐ป, and ๐๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ฒ๐น ๐๐ผ๐๐๐ผ๐ป fantasy relevant.
๐๐๐๐๐ฆ๐ฆฌ๐๐ง ๐ง๐๐ซ๐๐ก๐ฆ ๐
๐๐ฎ๐น๐๐ผ๐ป ๐๐ถ๐ป๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ถ๐ฑ and ๐๐ ๐ ๐ผ๐ผ๐ฟ๐ฒ both topped 100 receiving yards and look like weekly fantasy starters as Josh Allen's top pass catchers.
๐ง๐ ๐๐ผ๐ต๐ป๐๐ผ๐ป missed the game, leaving all of Buffalo's RB targets and catches to ๐๐ฎ๐บ๐ฒ๐ ๐๐ผ๐ผ๐ธ. If that continues, Cook gets a major fantasy boost in better matchups.
๐๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ฑ ๐ ๐ผ๐ป๐๐ด๐ผ๐บ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ dominated Houston RB opportunities, handling 23 of 33 and turning them into 79 scrimmage yards and three TDs. ๐ช๐ผ๐ผ๐ฑ๐ ๐ ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ธ๐ handled the rest and is a straightforward bench stash.
๐๐ข๐๐ฃ๐๐๐ก๐ฆ๐ฌ ๐๐ง ๐ฅ๐๐๐๐๐ฅ๐ฆโ ๏ธ
๐ ๐ฎ๐น๐ถ๐ธ ๐ช๐ถ๐น๐น๐ถ๐ finished with 220 passing yards, an interception, five sacks, and 39 rushing yards plus a TD. Pretty much what we expected from his first start.
๐๐ฎ๐น๐ฒ๐ฏ ๐๐ผ๐๐ด๐น๐ฎ๐ led Miami WRs with 5-94 on seven targets. ๐ ๐ฎ๐น๐ถ๐ธ ๐ช๐ฎ๐๐ต๐ถ๐ป๐ด๐๐ผ๐ป saw eight targets but caught only three. Both are intriguing waiver options on a team that should be trailing often.
๐๐๐ต๐๐ผ๐ป ๐๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ป๐๐ looked fully healthy as a do-it-all back in Klint Kubiak's offense. The second-round discount is looking pretty good right now.
Raiders receiving usage was spread everywhere, with ๐ ๐ถ๐ฐ๐ต๐ฎ๐ฒ๐น ๐ ๐ฎ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ, ๐๐ฎ๐น๐ฒ๐ป ๐ก๐ฎ๐ถ๐น๐ผ๐ฟ, ๐ง๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐ง๐๐ฐ๐ธ๐ฒ๐ฟ, and ๐๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ธ ๐๐ฒ๐ฐ๐ต all seeing 4โ7 targets.
๐ฃ๐๐๐๐๐ฅ๐ฆ๐ง ๐๐ง ๐ฉ๐๐๐๐ก๐๐ฆ๐ช
Green Bay's concentrated WR room looked dynamic. ๐๐ต๐ฟ๐ถ๐๐๐ถ๐ฎ๐ป ๐ช๐ฎ๐๐๐ผ๐ป is an every-week starter, ๐ ๐ฎ๐๐๐ต๐ฒ๐ ๐๐ผ๐น๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ป looks like an immediate upgrade from Romeo Doubs, and ๐ง๐๐ฐ๐ธ๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ณ๐ can be started confidently.
๐๐ต๐ฟ๐ถ๐ ๐๐ฟ๐ผ๐ผ๐ธ๐ and ๐ ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐๐ต๐ฎ๐๐ป ๐๐น๐ผ๐๐ฑ split the backfield almost evenly. ๐๐น๐ผ๐๐ฑ didn't produce much, but the usage is worth holding onto. If an impatient manager drops him, pick him up.
๐๐๐น๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐ ๐๐ฟ๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ suffered at least a severe concussion, with ๐๐ฎ๐ฟ๐๐ผ๐ป ๐ช๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ stepping in and playing well. ๐ช๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ is a great SuperFlex/2-QB pickup and a potential standard-league streamer.
๐๐ผ๐ฟ๐ฑ๐ฎ๐ป ๐ ๐ฎ๐๐ผ๐ป and ๐๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ป ๐๐ผ๐ป๐ฒ๐ split Minnesota's backfield nearly evenly, creating a frustrating timeshare for now.
๐๐๐๐๐ถ๐ป ๐๐ฒ๐ณ๐ณ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐๐ผ๐ป looked like Justin Jefferson again. Enjoy.

Philadelphia's defense made life difficult for Washington, while the Commanders backfield remained messy with ๐๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ผ๐ฟ๐ ๐๐ฟ๐ผ๐๐ธ๐ฒ๐-๐ ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฟ๐ถ๐๐ and ๐ฅ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ต๐ฎ๐ฎ๐ฑ ๐ช๐ต๐ถ๐๐ฒ splitting work and ๐๐ฎ๐๐๐ฟ๐ผ๐ป ๐๐น๐น๐ฒ๐ป mixing in.
๐ง๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฟ๐ ๐ ๐ฐ๐๐ฎ๐๐ฟ๐ถ๐ป was blanketed but still played 87% of the snaps. Don't panic.
Washington rotated three WRs behind McLaurin, with ๐ฆ๐๐ฒ๐ณ๐ผ๐ป ๐๐ถ๐ด๐ด๐ and rookie ๐๐ป๐๐ผ๐ป๐ถ๐ผ ๐ช๐ถ๐น๐น๐ถ๐ฎ๐บ๐ both catching TDs. ๐๐ต๐ถ๐ด ๐ข๐ธ๐ผ๐ป๐ธ๐๐ผ's hamstring injury could create more opportunities for the WRs.
๐ฆ๐ฎ๐พ๐๐ผ๐ป ๐๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ธ๐น๐ฒ๐ finished with 83 rushing yards, but 42 came on one run and he saw only two targets.
๐๐ฒ๐ฉ๐ผ๐ป๐๐ฎ ๐ฆ๐บ๐ถ๐๐ต struggled in his first game as Philadelphia's alpha WR without AJ Brown, though ๐๐ผ๐ป๐๐ฎ๐๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป๐ ๐ช๐ถ๐ฐ๐ธ๐ and ๐๐ฎ๐น๐น๐ฎ๐ ๐๐ผ๐ฒ๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ stepped up.

Arizona pulled off the upset behind ๐๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ผ๐ฏ๐ ๐๐ฟ๐ถ๐๐๐ฒ๐๐ and another strong connection with ๐ง๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ ๐ ๐ฐ๐๐ฟ๐ถ๐ฑ๐ฒ, who posted the best fantasy week among NFL TEs.
๐ง๐๐น๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐๐น๐น๐ด๐ฒ๐ถ๐ฒ๐ฟ and ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐บ๐ถ๐๐ฎ๐ต ๐๐ผ๐๐ฒ split the Arizona backfield as expected. ๐๐ผ๐๐ฒ looked healthy after his preseason scare and scored a TD, with his role likely to grow.
The Cardinals WR room is difficult to trust after ๐๐ฒ๐ป๐ฑ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ฐ๐ธ ๐๐ผ๐๐ฟ๐ป๐ฒ led ๐ ๐ถ๐ฐ๐ต๐ฎ๐ฒ๐น ๐ช๐ถ๐น๐๐ผ๐ป and ๐ ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐๐ถ๐ป ๐๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฟ๐ถ๐๐ผ๐ป ๐๐ฟ. in targets, catches, and yards.
The Chargers offense was one of Week 1's biggest disappointments. ๐ข๐บ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ผ๐ป ๐๐ฎ๐บ๐ฝ๐๐ผ๐ป struggled after an early TD, but he should get some leash.
๐๐ฎ๐ฑ๐ฑ ๐ ๐ฐ๐๐ผ๐ป๐ธ๐ฒ๐ was on his way to a monster game before suffering a chest/rib injury. If he misses time, ๐ง๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ is the biggest beneficiary.
๐๐ต๐ฎ๐ฟ๐น๐ถ๐ฒ ๐๐ผ๐น๐ฎ๐ฟ played 55% of the snaps without a target. ๐๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ฑ ๐ก๐ท๐ผ๐ธ๐ also played 55% and caught all five targets, while ๐ข๐ฟ๐ผ๐ป๐ฑ๐ฒ ๐๐ฎ๐ฑ๐๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ป made the most of just 10 snaps with two catches for 32 yards.

CONQUER THE BEST BALL WEEKEND ON DRAFTERS
Before you start clicking names, understand the game youโre 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.
Hereโs where to start ๐
1๏ธโฃ 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๏ธโฃ 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๏ธโฃ 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 10โ15 points every week may accumulate stats without meaningfully improving our lineup.
This is where Usable Weeks and Points Added become critical.
4๏ธโฃ 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๏ธโฃ 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.
Come prepared. ๐ฅ

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, weโre 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, weโre bringing some of the most useful lessons here for everyone to work through together.
Weโll 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 wonโt tell you which running back to play in Week 1.
Theyโre meant to help us better understand the decisions underneath that choice.
Itโs about how a lineup works together, what the field is likely to do, which assumptions weโre 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 guy's fantasy punishment was to play golf without a ball with strangers ๐ญ
(via Connor Marritt/TT)
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, itโs a clear rule violation. Yes, other players (Wyndham Clark comes to mind) have gotten away with similar infractions before. But the right conclusion isnโt that Bryson should get a pass from the R&A because PGA Tour officials arenโt strict enough. Itโs 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:
โข Murray and McCarthy competing for QB1
โข Jauan Jennings replaces Jalen Nailor
โข Flores returns for fourth year as DC
BULL CASE:
โข QB play can only improve โ McCarthy has tools and a full season of experience, Murray has O'Connell's elite coaching
โข Jefferson, Addison, Jennings, and Hockenson give either QB a loaded weapon set
โข This offense ranked top 12 in yards per game in three of the last four non-disaster seasons
BEAR CASE:
โข Both QBs struggle with timing and anticipation โ the exact opposite of what O'Connell's scheme demands
โข 2025 already showed us the floor: bottom-five offense, low volume, and a run-heavy game script
โข Mobile QBs who run frequently cannibalize production from skill position players
