I'm going all in with C.J. Stroud
#HoustonTexans
Clear evolution! Ability to improvise while improvising and the weapons have helped him!
A tough opponent! But he's already shown he's the best QB against the Blitz and something Detroit has been using!
My projection is 20+ points this week!
I'm going with him, and you?

VALUE ALERT — TYLER ALLGEIER | ARIZONA #AZCardinals
Tyler Allgeier. Remember that name. Arizona’s offense is falling apart, but his fantasy value is rising.
Trigger: Jeremiyah Love is expected to miss 4–5 weeks with an ankle injury. Allgeier is now positioned to lead the backfield.
What I see: Arizona has a quarterback crisis. Jacoby Brissett has been demoted again, this time to QB3, and Gardner Minshew takes over. With that instability, I expect the Cardinals to lean harder on their running game.
Cost: Check your waiver wire. This is a role-change opportunity, not a guaranteed cheap pickup.
Fantasy: Redraft 8/10 | Dynasty 7/10. I see legitimate RB2 upside while Love is sidelined, even with a difficult Week 9 matchup against Seattle.
Verdict: I’m targeting Allgeier immediately. The offense has problems, but opportunity wins in fantasy. And he’s about to get plenty of it.

USC freshman Trent Mosley turned his second snap against Ohio State into a 69-yard touchdown. He finished with 5 catches for 101 yards. Recruiting sets the expectation. Saturdays start giving us evidence.
I'm all in on all of them, I'm adding Geno Smith, good matchup! I think the list is solid for all the guys! Keyon always shows up well
I'm gonna get Ladd as WR1 for free and that's always good

STRUGGLING TO SET YOUR LINEUP? CHECK YOUR WAIVER WIRE!
WEEK 8 — FIVE PLAYERS I’M WATCHING
Before locking your lineup, check who’s available in your league. These five could make a difference.
JACOBY BRISSETT | QB — ARI
I like the passing volume and upside against Dallas. My favorite QB streaming option.
MY PROJECTION: 19.5 PTS
LADD McCONKEY | WR — LAC
Too much talent to leave on my bench. I’m betting on a bounce-back after the bye.
MY PROJECTION: 16.2 PTS
OMAR COOPER JR. | WR — NYJ
The recent production is hard to ignore. If active, he’s a FLEX option I’m willing to trust.
MY PROJECTION: 14.8 PTS
RICO DOWDLE | RB — PIT
Warren is still the lead back, but Dowdle is earning meaningful touches. I see legitimate PPR upside.
MY PROJECTION: 11.8 PTS
KENYON SADIQ | TE — NYJ
A talented tight end with touchdown upside. I want him on my radar, provided he’s cleared to play.
MY PROJECTION: 8.4 PTS
MY VERDICT: Check your waiver wire. Check your bench. Don’t leave potential points on the table.

Week 8 redraft: 5 guys I'd start or grab right now. Bye weeks are going to wreck a lot of lineups.
- QB Michael Penix Jr. (ATL @ TB)
7 TDs and 1 INT over his last 3 games, and he's thrown at least 32 passes in each one. Volume plus touchdowns.
Verdict: low-end QB1 streamer
- RB Jonah Coleman (DEN vs KC)
He's already ahead of RJ Harvey in the rushing pecking order. One injury and he's a weekly starter.
Verdict: stash him before Sunday
- WR Omar Cooper Jr. (NYJ vs LV)
218 yards and 2 TDs in two weeks, and the Jets are designing touches for him in the red zone.
Verdict: flex now, WR3 soon
- WR KC Concepcion (CLE @ PIT)
23% target share and 29% last week. He wins his routes, and Cleveland finally feeds him.
Verdict: PPR WR3 with upside
- TE Mason Taylor (NYJ vs LV)
25.2 points last week, and Las Vegas is a top-10 matchup for opposing tight ends.
Verdict: start him over your bench TE

Fantasy Alert: Kimani Vidal – #chargers
Cheap upside on waivers, and now is the time to grab him.
Vidal has been gaining ground in the Chargers' backfield since Week 4. His touches have climbed from 7 to 9 to 10, with a TD in Week 4 and another in Week 5 on a 42-yard run.
In Week 6 he split the work evenly with Hampton, who had 11 touches to his 10.
The Chargers are on a bye in Week 7, so you can stash Vidal with no lineup pressure. If Hampton gets hurt or loses snaps, he becomes the guy.
He's not an RB1, he's a cheap upside bet. But that's exactly the kind of bet that wins leagues.

KC Concepcion: the rookie the market slept on #Browns
Week 7 vs. Tennessee: 8 catches on 10 targets, 129 yards, plus 23 rushing yards. 23.2 PPR points. His previous season high was 64 yards.
But this didn't come out of nowhere. The usage was already there:
- Excluding Week 5, when he left with a concussion, he has 23.2% of Cleveland's targets, runs 84% of the routes and plays 80% of the snaps.
- He leads the team in first-read targets (26.7%) and designed targets (27.3%).
- He ranks 12th in separation among 100 WRs. He was winning his routes. The ball just wasn't getting there.
Against Tennessee, it all clicked: 29% target share, 82 yards after the catch, 3 broken tackles and 7 first downs.
What's still holding him back: zero TDs this season and only 3 red zone targets. Right now he's a short-area weapon near the line. His ceiling depends on Todd Monken getting him the ball near the end zone.
Context: Cleveland is 5-2 and has a top-10 neutral pass rate.
Next up: @ Steelers, vs. Saints, vs. Texans, then a Week 11 bye.
Verdict: WR3 / flex in PPR from here on, with WR2 upside. If he's still on your waiver wire, grab him today. If someone dropped him after six bad weeks, even better.

Illinois true freshman Michael Clayton II won his first college start. He's only the THIRD true freshman QB in Illini history to win as the starter, joining Kurt Kittner (1998) and Juice Williams (2006).
Recruiting forecasts are one thing. College outcomes are another.

2027 cornerback Preston Glasco plans to choose between Georgia, Alabama and Tennessee tonight after reopening his recruitment. The commitment will be news. The longer story: how does he develop once he gets to campus? Recruiting expectations are only the beginning.
Me too! Player who's been growing and taking over as WR2, BTJ will probably get traded this week!

VALUE ALERT — JAKOBI MEYERS | JACKSONVILLE #Jaguars
I’m buying the rising WR2 before the market catches up.
Trigger: Meyers comes off the bye to face a struggling Colts team. Meanwhile, Brian Thomas Jr.’s reduced role has fueled trade speculation, with the Chiefs and Steelers among the teams linked to receiver help.
What I see: Meyers is moving in the right direction. He just posted 5 catches, 83 yards and a season-high 10 targets against Houston.
BTJ’s role is shrinking. Meyers is becoming one of Trevor Lawrence’s more dependable receiving options.
Cost: I’m buying at FLEX prices, not paying established WR2 value.
Fantasy: Indianapolis plays man coverage at one of the league’s highest rates. Meyers has been productive against man this season. I see legitimate WR2 upside in PPR this week, with more opportunity if BTJ’s role keeps declining.
Verdict: I’m adding and starting Jakobi Meyers against Indianapolis. The matchup is attractive, the volume is trending up, and the market may still be pricing yesterday’s Jacksonville receiving hierarchy.
#Draftkings #FantasyFootball #NFLFantasy
I'm in! Malik always puts up big numbers and nobody remembers! There are a lot of good players on the waiver
#DraftKings #FantasyFootball
Your fantasy league sinking? These guys are saving mine.
I've been using them on bye weeks and at flex, and they've delivered. Stash them before someone else does:
QB
- Malik Willis (Dolphins): scores with his legs. Perfect bye-week fill-in
RB
- Ollie Gordon II (Dolphins): owns the backfield since Achane went down
- Blake Corum (Rams): the most valuable backup in the league. If Kyren goes down, he's an RB1
WR
- Omar Cooper Jr. (Jets): 218 yards and 2 TDs over the last two weeks
- KC Concepcion (Browns): 23% target share and 129 yards last week
- Ted Hurst III (Buccaneers): 6'4" rookie stepping into Mike Evans' old role
- Devaughn Vele (Saints): starting while Tyson is out. Use him now
TE
- Michael Mayer (Raiders) or Mason Taylor (Jets): Taylor put up 25.2 points last week and starts ahead of Sadiq
Which of these do you already have?
#Draftkings #FantasyFootball #NFLFantasy
VALUE ALERT — ANTONIO WILLIAMS | WASHINGTON #Commanders
VALUE ALERT — ANTONIO WILLIAMS | WASHINGTON #Commanders
I’m buying the rookie before Washington’s new receiving hierarchy takes shape.
Trigger: Terry McLaurin is out for the season. After Washington’s bye, Dan Quinn specifically identified Williams as a receiver who should get more opportunities.
What I see: Williams played 45 offensive snaps against San Francisco, catching three passes for 50 yards on four targets. He also earned eight targets and a 22% target share against Indianapolis earlier this season.
This isn’t a breakout yet. But I see a rookie already earning meaningful playing time with a major opening ahead of him.
Cost: I’m targeting waiver availability, not paying a trade premium.
Fantasy: I see PPR FLEX potential if his routes and targets increase. Stefon Diggs remains ahead of him, and quarterback uncertainty adds risk. In Dynasty, I’m even more interested.
Verdict: I’m adding Antonio Williams before Week 8. McLaurin’s injury creates the opening. Quinn’s comments give me a reason to believe Williams could benefit. Now I want to see the targets follow.

I’m in ! Adding Dilin Jones, a great block-breaking RB!
#LSUFootball
#CollegeFootball LSU vs Auburn, Week 8.
My takes (just my opinion):
🐯 Trey'Dez Green is two rounds ahead of every other TE in this class. Another TD today.
🎯 Jackson Harris is already a 2nd-round WR. I called it before and I'll say it again: he'll be a 1st-rounder. Two TDs today, including a 70-yarder.
📈 Sam Leavitt keeps climbing my board. I've got him in the 4th round right now. 32 of 46, 387 yards, 3 TDs, zero picks, plus a rushing TD. His decision-making gets better every week.
Byrum Brown isn't making the NFL. Not even close to a 7th-rounder.
- Auburn's head coach is one of the worst in college football. 35 rushes for 67 yards (1.9 per carry) and 7 sacks allowed. This scheme gets the QB killed and hides Cobb.
Good game, but Lane Kiffin just gave a bad coach a lesson.
