The Buccaneers and the Rams will face off in a great Monday Night Football matchup to close Week 11. Both teams are still jockeying for position in their division with the Bucs (7-3) sitting a game back of the 8-2 Saints. The Rams (6-3) are a half-game back of the 7-3 Seahawks for the NFC West lead. Beyond that, both teams are jockeying for wild card positioning, so this contest will mean a lot to both clubs as they look to position themselves for postseason runs. That's music to the ears of NFL DFS owners, as both teams will bring their A-game in this matchup, and that's why our FanDuel single-game lineup is using a balanced approach this week.Crafting a lineup for this game wasn't easy. Both teams have very strong defenses, but FanDuel's single-game contests don't have D/ST units as an option to Tyreek Hill Jersey play. That made it difficult to find many matchup advantages. As a result, we decided to go a bit more contrarian than normal in our MVP spot, as one big play could prove to be the difference in this contest. That led to us leaving $1,500 in salary space available since we targeted some lower-cost players. We're also avoiding the Rams three-headed RB committee against a Bucs run defense that has allowed a league-low 547 rushing yards to the position and tends to only allow fantasy points via TDs.MORE FD Single-Game: FanDuel Single-GamePicks: Buccaneers vs. RamsMVP (1.5x points): Antonio Brown, Buccaneers($9,000) Though both the Rams and Patrick Mahomes Jersey Bucs have good offenses, choosing an MVP wasn't difficultbecause each team also sports a great defense that could pose matchup problems. The safe pick here would've been Tom Brady, but we're going with a contrarian play in hopes that it pays off. Brown has played in just two games for the Bucs and has exactly 10 total catches for 100 yards. That said, he has a strong rapport with Brady and saw eight targets against the Pantherslast week. As he works his way into the offense more and more, Brown should emerge as a big-time contributor. That will afford him a chance to have some strong games, and with Jalen Ramsey likely locking up either Mike Evans or Chris Godwin on Monday, Brown should see plenty of targets and may reach the end zone for the first time in a Bucs uniform.MORE MNF: | FLEX: Tom Brady, Mitchell Schwartz Jersey Buccaneers($16,000) So far this season, the Bucs have played in three prime-time games. In those contests, Brady has thrown just three TDs and led the Bucs to a 1-2 record. In another national TV appearance, he'll want to play better, and the Bucs will need him to against the Rams. So far this season, Los Angeles is allowing just 15.1 FanDuel points per game (FD PPG) to QBs. That includes a league-low nine pa sing TDs. Though this matchup will be tough for Brady, he has five games with three or more TDs on the season, and in three of those contests, he has posted at least four scores. Brady is the highest-priced player on this slate, so he will be highly owned, but we Juan Thornhill Jersey need him in our lineup because of his ceiling. When he's on, he can post 30-plusFanDuel points, just likehe did last week against the Panthers (31.84). We'll bank on him having a big game.WEEK 12 WAIVER WIRE: FLEX: Robert Woods, Rams ($12,500)Woods is a cla sic high-floor player, which is ritical for this lineup. Woods has seen at least five targets in every game this season and is averaging 6.7 per contest in total. He also gets about two rushing attempts per game, so he should have Xavier Williams Jersey a chance to have the ball in his hands eight-to-12 times. The Buccaneers have allowed the seventh-fewest yards to WRs this year (1,481), but if the Rams focus on pa sing the ball, which they'll need to do against this vaunted Tampa Bay run defense, Woods should see plenty of work.WEEK 12 STANDARD RANKINGS: | | | | | FLEX: Ronald Jones, Buccaneers ($11,500) Jones has four 100-yard games on the ground this season, including one he had last week in which he totaled 192 yards and a score. The Rams have a very strong run defense that has only allowed five total TDs on the season (tied for the fewest in the league), but the Buccaneers will still want to run the ball early and often. They saw what happened when they abandoned the run against the Saints, and it wasn't pretty. Jones is another high-floor player thanks to his touches, and if he can break another long run or find the end zone, he should pay off this mid-tier price tag.WEEK 12 PPR RANKINGS: | | | | | FLEX: Josh Reynolds, Rams ($9,500) In his past four games, Reynolds has averaged eight targets per game, 4.5 catches, and 58.8 receiving yards while bringing in two TD catches. He has established himself as the No. 3 receiving option in the Rams offense. Reynolds should continue to see opportunities for the Rams as they'll need to throw a lot to move the ball, and he could come close to his eight-catch, 94-yard line from last week if the Bucs Laurent Duvernay-Tardif Jersey are more preoccupied defending Woods and Cooper Kupp. Either way, getting a player that has surpa sed 11.5 FD points in three of his past four games seems like a good value here.

New Orleans Saints general manager Mickey Loomis has announced the team has canceled all offseason training activities and will not require players to report to club facilities until training camp begins.Speaking on Justin Tucker Jersey a teleconference call on the eve of the NFL Draft'sfirst day, Loomis revealed the Saints will not hold any virtual workouts and have advised players to abide by stay-at-home orders in their current locations tohelp combat the widespreadcoronaviruseffect.MORE: Loomis added that coach Sean Payton and his staff will still conduct occasional Nico Siragusa Jersey online meetings and check-ins with players up until training camp, which is currently slated to start in late July but faces the po sibility of being pushed back should theoutbreak force the NFL to postpone the start of the regular season."We'll have some stuff that guys will participate in," Loomis said. "We're not going to be doing virtual workouts and things like that Trace McSorley Jersey . We want to make sure guys are focused on their families and safety."Louisiana has been especially hit hard by the COVID-19 pandemic, with the state'sDepartment of Health reporting over 25,000 cases and 1,473 deaths as of Wednesday.With a veteran roster and little turnover from last season's team, which tied for the NFC's best record at 13-3, Loomis said he believes the Saints are well-positioned to withstand the absence of minicamp and OTAs.MORE: New Orleans currently owns the Mark Ingram II Jersey NFL's second-oldest roster with an average age of 26 years, 312 days old, while Paytontrails only New England's BillBelichickfor Patrick Onwuasor Jersey the longest tenure of any active head coach with the same team, having been in chargesince 2006.The Saints have added only two major free agents, wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders and safety Malcolm Jenkins, this offseason."You have a core group of players that are the same and a system that we've had here for 14 years," Loomis said. "I would probably feel a little differently if we did have a lot of changes on our roster and our coaching staff, but we're fortunate that we don't."We have a lot of Jimmy Smith Jersey guys we have great faith and trust ininterms of being in shape when we do get going in training camp."

Today's Packers vs. Seahawks game in Green Bay, scheduled to kick off at 6:40p.m. ET, will be shown on Fox.Naturally, the hype around Sunday's divisional matchup in Green Bay is centered on the superstarquarterbacks. Plus, the Seahawks and Packers have of amazing games. There's no reason to expect anything different this year.Green Bay quarterback Aaron Rodgers enters Sunday having thrown at least two touchdown pa ses in each of his lastfive postseason games. With four Kevin Byard Jersey more against Seattle, hewould tie Peyton Manning (40) for the fourth most career postseason touchdown pa ses in NFL history.PACKERSvs. SEAHAWKSPICKS:| His QB counterpart Ru sell Wilson likely will be the reason the Seahawks beat the Packers if Seattle indeed pulls off an upset, but probably will have had some help from a couple new weapons. Rodger Saffold Jersey Running back Marshawn Lynchrecorded his10thcareer postseason rushing touchdown in the win last week. With at least two rushing touchdownsSunday, Lynch would tie Pro Football Hall ofFamers Terrell Davis (12) and John Riggins (12) for the fourth most career postseason rushing touchdowns in NFL history.Further, Seahawks rookie wide receiver D.K. Metcalf led Seattle with 160 receiving yards and a touchdown in last week's, the most receiving yards by a rookie in a single postseason game in the Super Bowl era. With at least 83 receiving yards against Green Bay, Metcalf would surpa s Torry Holt (242 yards in 1999) for the most postseason receiving yards by a rookie in NFL history.Below is all the info you need to watch Packers vs. Seahawks on Sunday, including the TV channeland kickoff time.MORE: What channel is Packers vs. Seahawks on today?TV channel (national): FoxTV channel ( Corey Davis Jersey Green Bay):WLUKTV channel (Seattle):KCPQLive stream: Yahoo! | Sunday's Packers vs. Seahawks game on Foxwill be called by the network's No. 1 crew.

Below are the explanations.:The Seahawks grinded their way to victory against the Eagles, overcoming their injury-based attrition better than their opponents did Jayon Brown Jersey . The Packers are mostly healthy and well rested. Aaron Rodgers had an up-and-down season, more steady than spectacular. But the Seahawks' pa s rush will be limited in its chances to get to the QB, and they also can't cover Davante Adams or Aaron Jones.Seattle will counter with plenty of Marshawn Lynch and Travis Homer on the ground to set up Ru sell Wilson's downfield pa sing to his big-play wide receivers, Tyler Lockett and D.K. Metcalf. Rodgers and Wilson will get into a pa sing duel in Wisconsin, with Rodgers finding familiar magic with a game-winning field goal drive.Pick: Packers win 30-27 but fail to cover the spread.:The Packers, who allowed 120.1 rushing yards per game in the regular season, probably aren't thrilled to draw the Seahawks' No. 4-ranked ground attack. That makes the divisional round an ideal time for Green Bay to focus on stopping the run, because even if it advances, it'll face another strong running team against San Francisco or Minnesota.As much as we want to make Earl Campbell Jersey this game about the superstar quarterbacks and Ru sell Wilson and Aaron Rodgers certainly will be fun to watch the biggest factor is the injury bug, which is biting the Seahawks much harder than the Packers. While the Marshawn Lynch story is amusing, it's also a reminder that Seattle is attempting to deploy its power rushing attack without its best power rushers in Chris Carson and C.J. Prosise. On the other side of the ball, Rodgers will take advantage of the two mismatch creators he has in Aaron Jones and Davante Adams, and Green Bay will reach the NFC title game in coach Matt LaFleur's first season.Pick: Packers 23, Seahawks 17MORE: NFL playoff schedule: Divisional roundBelow is the full NFL divisional playoff schedule for 2020, complete with Delanie Walker Jersey TV channels and live stream links.Saturday, Jan. 11MatchupStart timeTV channelLive streamVikings at 49ers4:35 p.m. ETNBCTitans at Ravens8:15 p.m. ETCBSSunday, Jan. 12MatchupStart timeTV channelLive streamTexans at Chiefs3:05 p.m. ETCBSYahoo!Seahawks at Packers6:40 p.m. ETFoxYahoo!

It's fantasy championship week, and every start 'em, sit 'em decision takes on extra importance. Notable wide receivers Antonio Brown, Mike Evans, Emmanuel Sanders, Marquise Brown, Jakobi Meyers, and Courtland Sutton are all "questionable" because of injuries and illne s -- and that's on top of guys like Jerry Jeudy (reserve/COVID), Elijah Moore (quad, reserve/COVID), Kadarius Toney (shoulder), and Julio Jones Marshawn Lynch Jersey (reserve/COVID) already being declared out -- and their official active/inactive statuses will play a key role in determining who winds up in lineups.

For all the latest fantasy news, follow us on Twitter .WEEK 17 FANTASY: | | Is Antonio Brown playing Week 17?UPDATE:ESPN's Adam Schefter reported late Saturday night that Brown is barring a setback on Sunday morning.UPDATE 2:Brown is officially ACTIVE.Brown (ankle) failed to practice on Thursday and Friday after tweaking his ankle in practice, and then-interim coach Harold Goodwin said Friday that Brown for Tampa's game against the Jets.It seems like Brown might be a little more "doubtful" than "questionable," but we won't know officially until Sunday morning. If he's active, he's a must-start with Mike Evans (hamstring) gimpy and Chris Godwin (knee) out. If Brown is out, Breshad Perriman would become an interesting flex option. If Evans is also out, Perriman would likely operate as Tampa's No. 1 receiver and be a decent WR3.WEEK 17 STANDARD RANKINGS: | | | | | Is Mike Evans playing Week 17?UPDATE:ESPN's Adam Schefter reported late Saturday night that Evans is in a "limited capacity." Even a limited Evans is worth starting against the Jets.UPDATE 2:Evans is officially ACTIVE.Early in the week, Evans (hamstring) looked like a long-shot to play because he was on the reserve/COVID list in Delano Hill Jersey addition to having a hamstring injury. However, after being activated on Friday and , things are looking much better for his chances of suiting up against the Jets.Evans is a must-start as always as long as he's active. Hamstrings are always at risk of being aggravated, but given Evans' high upside and the le s-than-intimidating opponent, you don't want him on your bench. If he's out, upgrade Breshad Perriman.WEEK 17 PPR RANKINGS: | | | | | Is Marquise Brown playing Week 17?UPDATE:Brown is officially ACTIVE.Brown because of a non-COVID illne s, and he looks truly "questionable" to suit up against the Rams.If Brown plays, he's only a borderline start anyway given his recent mediocre performances and presumed matchup with Jalen Ramsey. He still has a fairly solid floor in PPR leagues, but standard leaguers probably don't want to take the risk. If he's out, Rashod Bateman would be Baltimore's No. 1 receiver, but that might be more a curse than a Nazair Jones Jersey ble sing with Ramsey on the other side. At that point, all of Baltimore's players not named Mark Andrews would be too big of a risk.WEEK 17DFS LINEUPS:||Is Courtland Sutton playing Week 17?UPDATE:Sutton is officially ACTIVE.Sutton (non-COVID illne s) is officially "questionable" for Week 17's game against the Chargers, but NFL Network's Ian Rapoport already reported that the disappointing receiver is .With Jerry Jeudy Tre Flowers Jersey and Tim Patrick on the reserve/COVID list, Sutton has a chance to have by far his best performance of the season. If he's active, he's a solid WR, as tough as it might be to stomach starting him. If he's out, some combination of Kendall Hinton, Seth Williams, and Diontae Spencer would operate as Denver's key wideouts, but chances are TEs Noah Fant and Albert Okwuegbunam would just see more targets, making both viable plays in a favorite tight end matchup.MORE WEEK 17 DFS: | | Is Emmanuel Sanders playing Week 17?UPDATE:Sanders is officially OUT.Sanders (knee) after getting in a limited se sion to open the week. He seems slightly more "doubtful" than "questionable" for Buffalo's game against Atlanta.If Sanders is active, it will be tough to sit him in one of George Fant Jersey the best matchups for a WR. However, with poor conditions expected, he might not be worth the risk of re-injury. Gabriel Davis and Cole Beasley would see more snaps if Sanders is out, making both viable WR3/flex options.Is Jakobi Meyers playing Week 17?UPDATE:Meyers is officially ACTIVE.Meyers (thigh) all week, but his status doesn't really seem in doubt for New England's game against Jacksonville.As long as Meyers is active, he's a solid flex in standard leagues and a WR3 in PPR.

Tom Brady downplayed his elbow injury after on Sunday, ahome defeat that dropped New England to 10-3 this season.Brady's right elbow was heavily wrapped whenhe arrived for his post-game media conference, but Kareem Martin Jersey the 42-year-old quarterback insisted he was Sterling Shepard Jersey OK."I just got hit right on my elbow, it's fine," Bradytold reporters. "Probably be on the injury report, but I'll be there next Sunday (against theBengals)."Tom Brady Live Postgame Pre s Conference: New England Patriots (@Patriots) MORE: Michael Strahan Jersey Brady went 19-of-36 pa sing for 169 yards, a touchdown and an interception in the lo s to Kansas City, which is now 9-4 and pushing New England for the No. 2 seed in the .The six-time Super Bowl champion, who was unwilling to criticize officials despite some controversy related to officiating Sunday, said the Patriots' offense was simply unable to deliver in key moments. B.J. Hill Jersey "We got the ball, we moved it, we had some plays there where we could've scored and just couldn't Will Hernandez Jersey quite," Brady said. "We had a fourth down, we had some other ones in a red area, couple of fourth downs, just didn't make the plays when we needed to make 'em."Added Brady: "We've just got to go out and try to play better and try to win next week's game so, disappointing but not going to feel sorry for ourselves, try to go Phil McConkey Jersey back to work and do a better job."

Patrick Mahomes entered Texas Tech's Oct. 22, 2016 game against Oklahoma with a sprained throwing shoulder, according to . That made what he did next all the more remarkable.Mahomes finished that Saturday game with 88 pa s attempts. He threw for 734 Nick Foles Jersey yards through the air, tying an FBS record. He even ran for another 85 yards and two scores, meaning he set the FBS record for total offense by an individual in a game. And, oh yeah, Texas Tech lost.On the other sideline was Baker Mayfield, a year away from winning the Heisman Trophy but already a high-end quarterback talent. He threw for a relatively ho-hum 545 yards and an Oklahoma record seven touchdown pa ses by comparison. The Sooners won, 66-59.Ahead of their first playoff meeting in the NFL, a 2021 divisional-round game between the Chiefs and Browns, this is a look back at one of the most incredible offensive showcases in college football history. When ESPN asked the coaches from that day, Lincoln Riley and Kliff Kingsbury, to describe it, they both used one word: These days, the word "epic" is mostly used as an adjective, but this Mahomes and Mayfield showdown could just as easily be described as an epic, a story pa sed down about legendary or heroic characters. Mahomes and Mayfield were certainly legendary that day.Patrick Mahomes vs. Baker Mayfield college game box scorePa singPlayerCompletionsAttemptsYardsTouchdownsInterceptionsBaker Mayfield273654570Patrick Mahomes528873451RushingPlayerAttemptsYardsTouchdownsBaker Mayfield2190Patrick Mahomes12852 The story of Baker Mayfield, Patrick Mahomes' epic college game in 2016This matchup marked Mayfield's first game-action return to Lubbock, Texas since he'd transferred away from Texas Tech. He'd actually hosted Mahomes on Mahomes' recruiting visit, so there was an extra level of familiarity between these foes.Oklahoma had a loaded offense around Mayfield that included Bengals running back Joe Mixon, Jaguars wide receiver Dede Westbrook and Ravens tight end Mark Andrews. He also had standout left tackle Orlando Brown protecting him. Mahomes' top receiver was also bound for the NFL in the form of current Texans wideout Keke Coutee, along with current Titans receiver Cameron Batson.The Sooners quickly grabbed a 13-0 lead. Mayfield threw a 56-yard touchdown to Mixon, then following a fumble, he connected with NFL Philadelphia Eagles Jersey Westbrook for a 49-yard score. Le s than four minutes had pa sed, but Texas Tech scored the next 10 points and wouldn't go away.By halftime, it was 30-24 Oklahoma, but the offenses became even more unstoppable in the second half. The Red Raiders punted on the first drive of the second half, but then every drive for the rest of the game, 10 in total, concluded in touchdowns. Turnedout that third-quarter Texas Tech punt was costly, because they'd lose by one score."You just run out of plays," Kingsbury in 2018."When you're calling that many plays and that many pa s plays you're drawing stuff up in the dirt and trying to get people open at the end of it."There were too many yards, too many scores, too many NFL-ready skills on display for one or two to stand the test of time. Rather, it's the final statsheet, the Mahomes and Mayfield records, that really stand out. Mahomes had a decent month in one game, some might say. Mayfield had Brian Westbrook Jersey one of the most efficient performances in college football history.It may have been easy at the time to dismi s the 66-59 scoreline as a cla sic, no-defense Big 12 contest. In retrospect, though, it's obvious just how much talent was on the field that night. The defenses never stood a chance."I've seen a lot of good offensive performances over the years," Riley in 2018,"and the way those two quarterbacks played that night, they'd score on anybody. The people there that saw it, they ought to consider themselves lucky. Because chances are, they'll never see anything like it again.". and rewrote the NCAA record books when Oklahoma and Texas Tech met on Oct Lane Johnson Jersey 22, 2016.Mayfield would throw for 545 yards and 7 touchdowns, while Patrick Mahomes threw for 734 yards and 5 touchdowns in the Sooners 66-59 win. Dov Kleiman (@NFL_DovKleiman) The craziest stats from Patrick Mahomes and Baker Mayfield The referenced media source is mi sing and needs to be re-embedded.Mahomes maniaMahomes' stats from this crazy game are already on this page multiple times, but they're worth repeating: 52-of-88 pa sing for 734 yards and five touchdowns, with another 85 yards and two scores on the ground. His 819 total yards of offense is an FBS record Jason Kelce Jersey for a single game.In college, Mahomes put up huge numbers, but this was an outlier even for him. Sure, he broke 500 pa sing yards on four other occasions, but he never was above 600 besides this game with 734. And he'd never attempted nearly this many pa ses, with the second-most in his college career being 62 attempts.In his pro career, the most Mahomes has thrown for in a game is 478. Combined with his following outing in 2018 of 295 yards, he had a two-game stretch there with 773 yards, only slightly more than he had on that single night in Lubbock in 2016. Overlooked MixonIf not for what Mahomes and Mayfield did, Mixon may have been the headliner of the matchup. He finished with 31 carries for 263 yards and two touchdowns while adding four catches for 114 yards and another three touchdowns. That made Mixon the first player in OU history to rush for at least 200 yards and receive at least 100 yards in the same game.Within all the statistical crazine s, Mixon's 263 rushing yards rank as his college career-highby Jason Peters Jersey more than 100 yards. Somehow, all the pa sing didn't stop Mixon from tearing Texas Tech apart on the ground, too. The referenced media source is mi sing and needs to be re-embedded.Dede and KekeAll the huge numbers almost make Dede Westbrook and Keke Coutee's receiving days feel boring. But they're still worth singling out.For Oklahoma, Westbrook had nine catches for 202 yards and two touchdowns. It was the second-best receiving game of his college career after he had 232 receiving yards against Texas two weeks earlier.Coutee caught 10 pa ses for 172 yards and a score from Mahomes. It was one of seven college games in which Coutee surpa sed 150 receiving yards. He was joined near the century mark by Jonathan Giles (10 catches, 167 yards, two TDs) and Cameron Batson (nine catches, 99 yards, one TD).854 is the magic numberOf all the near-impo sible to believe aspects of this game, this one takes the cake: Both Oklahoma and Texas Tech finished with exactly 854 yards

Sterling Shepard has only been in action for the Giants in two games this year. After suffering a toe injury in the team's Week 2 game against the Bears, he was placed on IR and Clark Griswold Jersey has remained there since. Now at the midpoint of the fantasy football season, he may get a chance to suit up again in a Week 7 contest against the Eagles. Shepard hasn't officially been activated from the IR yet, but he's still thought to be "questionable" for Thursday Night Football, and his owners -- or owners looking to scoop him off the waiver wire -- will be eagerly awaiting updates on his status and they make their first start ' Chris Kunitz Jersey em, sit 'em calls of the week.We'll be here providing updates below about Shepard right up until the active/inactive report is released at around 6:50 p.m. ET on Thursday. For more fantasy news, follow us on Twitter .WEEK 7 FANTASY: | |Is Sterling Shepardplaying Thursday night?UPDATE 2:Shepard is officially ACTIVE for Thursday's game.UPDATE:According to , Shepard has been activated off IR before tonight's game. Now, his availability will come down to a pregame workout.Shepard hasn't played since suffering a toe injury in Week 2, but it did look like he was developing a strong rapport with Daniel Jones before the injury took place. Shepard saw 10 targets on 68 snaps before being hurt, and even though Golden Tate was inactive in Week 1 when Alex DeBrincat Jersey Shepard had six targets, it seems likely Shepard will be apreferred option over Tate once he does return.However, it's still unclear when that will be. According to , Giants head coach Joe Judge said that Shepard's Week 7 status could "come down to a pre-game workout." It is a good sign that Shepard was designated to return from IR this week, but the Giants could still hypothetically activate him and let him sit out one more week Jordan Oesterle Jersey as opposed to putting him in against the Eagles. They also could just leave him on IR until after Thursday night's game and then activate him before Week 8.MORE TNF: | | If Shepard does play against the Eagles, he will be an intriguing flex play given that the Eagles' back seven isn't very strong. Shepard could continue to be a volume receiver for a Giants offense that isn't very good but will have to throw a good deal most weeks to try to stay in games.WEEK 7 PPR RANKINGS: | | | | | Shepard' Jordan Schroeder Jersey s presence wouldn't nece sarily represent a downgrade for Darius Slayton, the Giants' No. 1 receiver, as he would still be Jones' preferred outside receiver and top TD target, but it could be a downgrade for Tateand TE Evan Engram. Both Tate and Engram have been disappointments,and Shepard may be asked to work the middle of the field a bit more at their expense. That would be especially bad news for Engram's productivity, so that will be something to watch.If Shepard is declared active, he should have a chance to be a top-50 WR. That said, if you're worried about Shepard's workload, you can feel free to sit him one more week to see what he looks Jeremy Roenick Jersey like, especially if you're in a league that starts just two WRs and a flex.

Our early 2022 Fantasy WR Rankings look ahead to the top risers, sleepers, and fallers at fantasy football's deepest position. There are plenty who just play in redraft leagues that are curious about the fantasy outlook at wide receiver next year, but those in Rodney McGruder Jersey keeper and dynasty leagues are always especially eager to get ahead.Davante Adams and Tyreek Hill have occupied the top two spots in each of the past two seasons, but this year, both are outside our top three as a veteran has emerged and two young wideouts look to take the jump into bona fide elite status. Of course, these rankings are for redraft and age isn't everything, we have to be mindful of guys that could be due Patrick Beverley Jersey for a decline late in their careers.2022 EARLY FANTASY RANKINGS: | | | Players like Adams and Mike Williams could have their ranking affected by what happens in free agency, but Adams can only fall so far and Williams isn't super high in our rankings to begin with. It's also worth noting Calvin Ridley could be seeing a change of scenery, too. There are also players like Chris Godwin and Michael Gallup heading into the open market and are coming off recent ACL injuries. Our way-too-early preseason rankings will bring more clarity on those guys.Chase Claypool, Jerry Jeudy, Courtland Sutton, and D.J. Moore are some Avery Bradley Jersey of the WRs who are surely going to be catching pa ses from new QBs next year, and it seems like their fantasy outlooks can only go up based on that. If the rumors of Aaron Rodgers or Ru sell Wilson heading to new teams next year are true, there could be a number of beneficiaries at wideout. Obviously, DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett would lose some value if Wilson leaves, though, so there is always a domino effect.2021 FANTASY: | Wide receivers are always tough to predict, and at least a third of the guys in our top 36 will disappoint. Someone will emerge out of nowhere and be at least a mid-tier WR2, and at Jerome Robinson Jersey least one rookie will make major noise. This happens every season. However, we like Amon-Ra St. Brown, Darnell Mooney, Hunter Renfrow, Gabriel Davis, and Elijah Moore to carry their 2021 momentum into next year as some of our top, high-end "breakouts."Wide receiver is deep, so it's tough to immediately include a rookie unle s there is a clear-cut elite prospect (like Ja'Marr Chase last year), but Traylon Burks, Garrett Wilson, Jameson Williams, and others could be featured inside our top 36 preseason rankings if they land in the right situations.Early 2022 Fantasy Paul George Jersey WR RankingsRankings are based on half-point PPR formats.

The first byes of the year aren't too damaging to our Week Chris Beck Jersey 6 fantasy kicker rankings. Very few fantasy football teams were rostering Joey Slye, Cody Parkey, or Matt Ammendola, so it's likely only the Younghoe Koo owner is hitting the free agent wire looking for a new kicker. The good news is that if you are that owner of Koo, there are plenty of worthwhile replacement options.Notice we said "free agent" wire and not "waiver" wire. Don't use a waiver claim on a kicker. It's never worth it. Moreover, don't carry two kickers on your roster, even if you have a top-ranked guy like Justin Tucker or Tyler Ba s. If someone else wants to pick him up, let them. It's not hard to find a good kicker in any given week (even though it might seem that way after last week's parade of mi sed FG attempts and PATs).WEEK 6 PPR RANKINGS: | | | | We have of another week Trevor Rosenthal Jersey of stats to look at when making our kicker decisions, but as we always say at this position, the stats only mean so much. Most of the top kickers in our rankings are the top kickers on the season, including a few guys who have risen in recent weeks, such as Dustin Hopkins (vs. Chiefs), Nick Folk (vs. Cowboys), and Chase McLaughlin (vs. Cardinals). Any of these players, all owned in fewer than 17 percent of leagues, would be a good fill-in for Koo. Marcell Ozuna Jersey Rodrigo Blankenship (vs. Texans) is also widely available and has a fairly favorable statistical matchup. (Update: Blankenship is out this week.)WEEK 6 STANDARD RANKINGS: | | | | The rest of the top guys all pretty much fall in line about where you'd expect. Daniel Carlson (@ Broncos) is in an interesting spot, as he plays one of the statistically toughest defenses against kickers yet gets the advantage of kicking in the thin air of Denver. He might get fewer chances, but his odds of connecting from 50-plus yards are higher, which is why he's still in our top 10. Matt Prater (@ Browns) also has a tough statistical matchup, but given how easily and rapidly the Cardinals can move the ball, we still expect him to get some scoring chances.Weather hasn't been too much an i sue Lou Brock Jersey this year, so let's hope it stays that way. We don't have many worthwhile indoor options this week, as there are Andrew Miller Jersey just two games in stadiums with roofs, but Blankenship (vs. Texans) and Evan McPherson (@ Lions) are your "safest" bets if you don't want to check any weather updates on Sunday morning.Note We'll update these kicker rankings as needed throughout the week, so check back for the latest player movement.Fantasy Kicker Rankings Week 6: Who to start, sit in fantasy footballRankPlayer1Justin Tucker, BAL vs. LAC2Tyler Ba s, BUF @ TEN3Harrison Butker, KC @ WAS4Brandon McManus, DEN vs. LV5Ryan Succop, TB @ PHI6Matt Gay, LAR @ NYG7Matt Prater, ARI @ CLE8Daniel Carlson, LV @ DEN9Nick Folk, NE vs. DAL10Dustin Hopkins, WAS vs. KC11Greg Zuerlein, DAL @ NE12Chase McLaughlin, CLE vs. ARI13Greg Joseph, MIN @ CAR14Evan McPherson, CIN @ DET15Graham Gano, NYG vs. LAR16Mason Crosby, GB @ CHI17Zane Gonzalez, CAR vs. MIN18Jason Sanders, MIA vs JAX19Michael Badgley, IND vs. HOU20Tristan Vizcaino, LAC @ BAL21Chris Boswell, PIT vs. SEA22Randy Bullock, TEN vs. BUF23Cairo Santos, CHI vs. GB24Austin Seibert, DET vs. CIN25Jake Elliott, PHI vs. TB26Ka'imi Fairbairn, HOU Enos Slaughter Jersey @ IND27Jason Myers, SEA @ PIT28Josh Lambo, JAX vs. MIA
