🚨 Fantasy Football Alert: Time to Make Bold Moves as the Season Reaches Its Midpoint 🚨
As we approach the halfway mark of the NFL season, the stakes are higher than ever. Whether you're sitting pretty at the top or struggling to stay afloat, now is the moment to act. But here's where it gets controversial... Should you trade your star players for future prospects, or is it too early to give up on the present? For those dominating with a 6-0 or 5-1 record, it's time to target rising stars like Puka Nacua and Emeka Egbuka. These players could be the key to securing a top spot in the playoffs. On the flip side, if you're languishing at 0-6 or 1-5, it's not too late to turn things around. And this is the part most people miss... You can't afford to be patient; you need wins now, even if it means parting ways with your best players. The pain of letting go might be worth it if it means avoiding the heartbreak of missing the fantasy playoffs.
Week 7 Fantasy Football Insights: Sleepers, Projections, and Start/Sit Strategies
Quarterbacks
- Jaxson Dart has been a rushing powerhouse, leading all quarterbacks in Designed Rush% (11.4) over the past three weeks. However, his matchup this week is less than ideal, making him a high-risk, high-reward option.
- Caleb Williams thrives under pressure, with a significant boost in TD/Att% when he’s not pressured. Fortunately, the Saints’ defense ranks sixth-lowest in applying pressure, making Williams a solid start.
- Jalen Hurts has been a rushing threat, but his effectiveness diminishes when pressured. The Vikings’ defense, which ranks second in applying pressure, could limit his impact this week.
Running Backs
- Alvin Kamara faces a tough matchup against the Bears, who are among the top teams in limiting yards before carry (YBC) and yards after contact (YAC). This could be a breakout week for Kendre Miller.
- Quinshon Judkins is coming off a disappointing performance against the Steelers but has a chance to rebound against the Dolphins, who have been vulnerable to running backs.
- Tyjae Spears continues to gain touches at the expense of Tony Pollard, making him a valuable waiver wire pickup, especially against the Patriots’ defense, which ranks in the top 10 for toughness in YBC and YAC.
Wide Receivers
- Jameson Williams has been inconsistent, but his target percentage increases significantly when Jared Goff is pressured. The Buccaneers’ defense, which pressures quarterbacks at the sixth-highest rate, could create opportunities for Williams.
- DK Metcalf sees a substantial boost in target percentage when the pocket is clean. The Bengals’ defense, which ranks fifth-lowest in pressuring quarterbacks, could allow Metcalf to shine.
- Tutu Atwell could be a deep threat against the Jaguars, who have allowed the second-highest percentage of passes to go 20+ yards. His average air yards per target (19.7) make him a potential Hail Mary option.
Tight Ends
- Harold Fannin stepped up in Week 6 with David Njoku sidelined, leading the Browns in receiving yards. If Njoku remains out, Fannin is a top-10 tight end option.
- Cade Otton has emerged as a reliable target for the Buccaneers, especially with Emeka Egbuka out. He has TE1 upside this week.
- Tommy Tremble could exploit a favorable matchup against the Jets, but his value depends on Ja’Tavion Sanders’ availability. If Sanders is out, Tremble becomes a viable starter.
