Hey!
Week 7 is just hours away and before it begins you need to know these 10 important news items that came in the last 24 hours:
#10 Josh Jacobs is a true game-time decision. He’s dealing with an illness, but more importantly a calf issue. We’ve seen Chuba Hubbard miss 2 weeks due to a ‘mild’ calf injury this season. You can start Emanuel Wilson if Jacobs is ruled out…
#9 Deebo Samuel is OUT. With Terry McLaurin also out, the Commanders starting WRs will be Chris Moore, Luke McCaffrey and Jaylin Lane. I prefer Moore, Lane and McCaffrey in that order for fantasy…
#8 Mike Evans is a game-time decision. He was able to participate in practice on Friday and is trending to play. But the Bucs don’t play until Monday Night so have a replacement ready, like Tez Johnson, in case Evans is out…
#7 Emeka Egbuka is also a game-time decision. He’s dealing with a hamstring injury suffered in Week 6. Typically, it takes 2-6 weeks to return from a hamstring injury, so I’d be surprised if Egbuka plays on Monday Night…
#6 Kyler Murray is NOT expected to play. This opens the door for Jacoby Brissett to start again, he completed 61% of his passes for 320 yards last week. Brissett may offer more stability to the passing game for guys like Marvin Harrison and Trey McBride…
#5 Jakobi Meyers is a game-time decision. He’s battling both a knee and toe injury. Even if he plays, there’s a good chance he’s limited by the injuries. Meyers is a sit this week, but if he’s out Tre Tucker becomes an appealing start..
#4 Brock Bowers is NOT expected to play. The thought is he will return after the teams Week 8 bye. Michael Mayer is my TE16 this week projected for 7.2 points assuming Bowers is out…
#3 Stefon Diggs is expected to play. He’s battling a chest injury & was limited in practice all week. He’s a Top 24 receiver this week and should be in starting lineups…
#2 Christian Kirk is OUT. He’s battling a hamstring injury. Kirk played 63% of the snaps the past 3 games before injury. With Kirk out, expect more usage for Jaylin Noel and Xavier Hutchinson…
#1 Bucky Irving is officially ruled OUT. He hasn’t practiced in 3 weeks & the Bucs have a bye Week 9. There’s a chance Bucky is held out until the Bucs return from their bye in Week 10. Continue to fire up Rachaad White as a Top 15 RB this week…
