World News – CA – Week 7 Fantasy Football Wrap: Justin Herbert proves the skeptics wrong

Justin Herbert continued to impress while securing his first career victory, not only with his big arm but also with his legs, as the rookie QB took only one sack and took easily led LA to the race Herbert’s rushing ability gives him even more fantasy, and he helped LAC rack up nearly 40 points on Sunday with strangers Jalen Guyton, Virgil Green and Donald Parham Jr the recipients of the strikes at the TD In the last three games (including two tough ones at Tampa Bay and New Orleans), Herbert has earned 88 YPA with an 11: 1 TD: TO ratio Herbert has looked like a future star this season – he could already to be one

Keenan Allen saw his teammates score all touchdowns on Sunday, but he also saw 13 other targets and is expected to be ranked in the top five borderline WR in the PPR leagues in the future given his workload and the QB launched to him Allen entered with the No 7 WOPR on the year, which will be higher after this week Justin Jackson and Joshua Kelley both sort of broke in the top spots as they each got 24 YPCs and watched Joe Reed become the fourth random Chargers player to register a touchdown on Sunday with a rushed score Kelley looks like the favorite for carrys, with Jackson dominating committee transfer work (timeshare still on the rise, thanks to Herbert) Mike Williams’ season would have been very different with Tyrod Taylor

Gardner Minshew is reportedly set to be benched despite coming in with a better CPAE this season than Josh Allen, Drew Brees and Tom Brady, and it’s unclear what a transfer to Mike Glennon would do else than to increase Jacksonville’s chances of obtaining Trevor Lawrence Of course, fantasy managers with DJ Chark and Laviska Shenault can accommodate a quarterback change, and the squad is now entering their week off James Robinson was easily the Jaguars’ best player on the field, and his big game came against an LA defense that came in giving the fancy seventh-fewest points to running backs Robinson will be one of the top five fantasies on the limit of return. with the upcoming clashes against the Texans and Packers, it doesn’t matter who QBing is in Jacksonville

Joe Burrow threw for 400 yards while Baker Mayfield got 105 YPA and threw five touchdowns despite the lack of Odell Beckham and Austin Hooper (and Nick Chubb) and with Jarvis Landry playing through a broken rib. two quarterbacks took advantage of head-to-head defenses that came in last and second-to-last in Knockdown percentage After being benched last week and starting slow on Sunday, Mayfield responded with the best game of his career, though the loss of OBJ will make things more difficult in the future … Gio Bernard will remain in the top 15 RB in Week 8 if Joe Mixon is absent, while the Bengals have a three-way wide receiver (Tyler Boyd took advantage this week to face a defense from Cleveland which allowed the most fantastic points in the slot machine this season)… Harrison Bryant was an intriguing prospect buried behind Austin Hooper and David Njoku in a first inning attack , but he certainly looks like Cleveland’s best tight end On National Tight End Day the Browns had three combined touchdowns of theirs… With Beckham down and Landry facing a broken rib, Rashard Higgins must be added in all leagues fantastic

Andy Dalton had no chance against Washington’s passes behind the Dallas offensive line and suffered a nasty blow that knocked him out of the game A move to Ben DiNucci wouldn’t be good news for the Cowboys’ already declining fantastic receiver values ​​(CeeDee Lamb and Michael Gallup were sort of ruled out on seven targets on Sunday) At least Ezekiel Elliott hasn’t fumbled, as NFC East set to end as the worst division ever Terry McLaurin’s handsome game could have been bigger, but he had a reverse touchdown (by inches), and Washington only attempted 25 passes in a blowout Antonio Gibson finished with a top game 20 races (eight more than Zeke) and recorded just one target in a result that seemed unlikely going into the season Kyle Allen isn’t just a small improvement to the quarterback for Washington, he’s a big one (WFT would be my choice to win the NFC East right now) The Cowboys scored three points, and that was helped by a long kick-off comeback In case you missed it (like me), here’s Mike McCarthy admitting to lying about watching the game’s tape. during his hiring press conference

Todd Gurley had the craziest game of the week, as he ran in a touchdown (not failing when Detroit allowed him to fully score) to put the Falcons four points behind, only to see Predictably the Lions’ scoring with a game-winning TD player Gurley doesn’t help as a receiver and has exceeded 80 rushing yards just once all season, but he’s ready to rush for 19 touchdowns of any way… It was nice to see D’Andre Swift get his first TD on the goal line, but he remains locked in a timeshare as feared… What a Kenny Golladay take

Despite missing Michael Thomas and Emmanuel Sanders and facing a Carolina high school that had given up the fewest YPAs in the NFL, Drew Brees had a fantastic solid game, even stealing a rushed touchdown while Alvin Kamara and Latavius Murray were both kept clear of the end zone in the favorable game It’s two bad games in a row for Mike Davis, and the Panthers will play Thursday night Days after being placed on the COVID list, Joey Slye almost made the longest basket in NFL history as time expired DJ Moore made that 74-yard touchdown easy

In a game that saw Josh Allen attempt 43 passes with John Brown and against a Jets funnel defense, it was bordering on shocking that Stefon Diggs failed to reach 50 yards on reception It’s going to be tough to rank Devin Singletary or Zack Moss as the top 30 fantastic full backs coming forward… Tyler Bass went 6-for-8 (!) On field goal attempts in this game as the Jets remain the only team without a win of the NFL (although they lead the league in reducing pass penalties, recording their seventh Sunday – no other team has more than three – because Gregg Williams)… The Jets will lose by 20 points in Kansas City during week 8

Aaron Rodgers wasn’t too worried about missing his star left tackle or Aaron Jones (or Allen Lazard), as he played wrestling all day with Davante Adams against a seemingly disinterested Houston defense Adams is by far the No. 1 in his position, unlike any other fantasy player right now Jamaal Williams came close to scoring a few more touchdowns and should be treated like a top-12 RB as long as Jones is sidelined, while Deshaun Watson has thrown 300 yards in four straight games, and all Texans have been starved of stats fantastic after the team miraculously recovered a late kick to see David Johnson lose a fumble Imagine trading DeAndre Hopkins for Johnson’s corpse and contract… I apologize for recommending Marquez Valdes-Scantling This won’t happen again

In only game six since two unbeaten teams merged with at least five wins, the Steelers won as Stephen Gostkowski missed a late FG attempt Considering the differences in defenses and the absence of Taylor Lewan (and Derrick Henry only got 38 YPC), Ryan Tannehill had another impressive game (helped by that sick game from AJ Brown) Diontae Johnson saw a whopping 15 targets, scored two touchdowns and left injured, so we had all the experience.I will rank Johnson in the top 15 in WR when he’s active, but he turns out to be one of the players. most injury-prone in the league James Conner dominated the job but once again frustrated as he had a recalled touchdown and then gave up a walk-in score, only to see Benny Snell get the TD goal line in the next game

Former Patriots quarterbacks only came 1-7 against Bill Belichick, but Jimmy Garoppolo and his company returned to New England and handed the coach the biggest home loss of his career The 49ers were down to their third center and fourth / fifth strings and have too many injuries to list in defense, but San Francisco edged New England 301-59 yards at halftime and didn’t have to throw before three minutes were left in the match The Patriots committed their first offensive penalty with Cam Newton all season as they were clearly shaken up in Wes Welker’s revenge game The 49ers somehow scored 33 points in New England despite Jimmy G finishing with a 0: 2 TD: INT Report (and Jerick McKinnon’s alleged RB1 finishing with negative yardage), as Jeff Wilson was fantasy RB1 by the week. 7 despite starting early with an injury (and appearing in about zero fantastic starting lineups) With McKinnon looking like a toast after the 49ers worked him hard in Week 4 and all the other back injuries, JaMycal Hasty is next in the highly productive San Francisco backfield, making him a fantastic RB2 type at the moment (and an obvious staple in all the fantastic leagues )

Brandon Aiyuk continues to impress, and he would have become very interesting in terms of fantasy if Deebo Samuel missed time with his latest injury, especially with the team’s running backs so stoned and an extremely low-coming schedule. difficult that should require a lot of throws … Newton isn’t getting much help, but he’s been looking bad since Week 2 (when he shredded a Seattle defense that looks less impressive in retrospect), and the only question about his bench on Sunday was whether it was going to come sooner That’s a huge question mark that doesn’t belong anywhere in fantasy rosters yet… Having started last season 10-1, the Patriots have gone 4-9 since … George Kittle now has the most catches in the first 50 games in San Francisco franchise history (and remember, Jerry Rice played for the Niners)

Patrick Mahomes got 78 YPA in freezing weather against a tough defense, but his fantastic stats suffered thanks to Kansas City scoring touchdowns via a pick-six and a punt return (Chad Henne even stole a TD point late in the eruption)… Clyde Edwards-Helaire shared the job with Le’Veon Bell more than expected, but at least the rookie scored for the first time since Week 1 (while losing another touchdown) defense and special teams limited the number of games for Kansas City on Sunday Mecole Hardman drove fewer roads than Byron Pringle last week, but he sort of led the Chiefs in receiving yards on Sunday on just two targets (eight short of Tyreek Hill) Meanwhile, Nick Keizer had more yards and touchdowns than Travis Kelce I doubt Keizer will replace him for good… Harrison Butker has missed five more points this season, while Melvin Gordon lost two fumbles on Sunday, highlighted by that disastrous failed flea flicker attempt Still, Gordon’s value would see a significant increase if Phillip Lindsay (concussion) misses the time

Tom Brady’s good season at 43 looks even more incredible considering that not all Mike Evans, Chris Godwin and Rob Gronkowski have lived up to the fantastic expectations, and he’s getting Antonio Brown now (Mike Evans is clearly injured) Along with the Tampa Bay defense, the Bucs must be considered one of the few Super Bowl favorites right now Ronald Jones shots faded after committing another fall, so Leonard Fournette (who almost turned a catch into an interception but nevertheless dominated the passing job and finished with a much better YPC) probably seems to be an important part of that background committee moving forward Considering the situation on the Las Vegas offensive line and his opponent, Derek Carr (79 YPA) played well again, and he quietly ranks # 4 in the CPAE this season (Joe Burrow is # 3!)

The NFL certainly isn’t upset that they moved this game to prime time, as the Cardinals won a 37-34 thriller that didn’t see them hold a lead until 20 seconds left. in overtime (after rookie Isaiah Simmons recorded Russell Wilson’s third pick of the night) Wilson and Kyler Murray lived up to the hype with big games as they even led their teams in a rush on Sunday night Wilson is now tied for most TD assists (22) in six games in NFL history Tyler Lockett had one of the biggest games you’ve ever seen with 20 targets for 200 yards and three touchdowns, while DK Metcalf provided the highlight of the night – with a tackle

Chris Carson left early with a foot injury, and if he ran out of time, Carlos Hyde (10% registered on Yahoo) would become a fixture as Seattle frontman… Meanwhile, Kenyan Drake was carried to the locker room with a towel over his head, then Chase Edmonds looks like a PPR top 10 fantasy advancing, with a legitimate top five Trade for him if others disagree
