Despite only being targeted twice, Taylor participated in 30 routes, and has a chance to turn into a Week 8 sleeper against the Chiefs. He has a 98.7 Speed Score (64th-percentile) and a 10.19 Catch Radius (81st-percentile), and looks to be in line for another high Snap Share this week with Sanders expected to miss yet another game.

Where the hell has Willie Snead gone? He returned from suspension only to suffer a hamstring injury, and has one reception for 11 yards on just three targets this season. The good news is, Snead is set to return in Week 8, and plays on a Saints offense that is 12th in the league in pass plays per game.

One of the best ways to improve your team is by getting rid of those players who have tempting potential that will not come to fruition this season. If you can accomplish this, you have an advantage over your competitors.

Martavis Bryant is not producing due to the amount of competition he has in Pittsburgh’s offense. He has to compete with the league’s best receiver: Antonio Brown, and the league’s best running back: Le’Veon Bell. Furthermore, the emergence of Juju Smith-Schuster further cannibalizes Bryant’s potential targets.

Disregarding his injury-plagued 2016 campaign, Wilson posted a +15.0 or higher Production Premium, a 95.0 or higher passer rating, and a 65.0 or higher Total QBR from 2012 to 2015. Efficient passing combined with tactical scrambling pleases the fantasy gods and raises Wilson’s fantasy football ceiling to 25 or more fantasy points per game.

For the first time since Wilson arrived in Seattle, the team’s play calling is skewing pass-heavy. This season, Wilson’s full potential is being unlocked. The Seahawks are top-10 in Team Pass Plays, Red Zone Attempts, and Deep Ball Attempts.

Darren McFadden has yet to play a snap for the Dallas Cowboys this year, but the team still has a big role in mind. It’s obvious that Ezekiel Elliott will miss time with a suspension at some point this year. If and when Elliott serves a suspension, the Cowboys should lean on McFadden.

The 2017 wide receiver class has been a huge disappointment at the top. Corey Davis, John Ross, and Mike Williams have all failed to produce for their teams throughout the first half of their rookie seasons. One emerging player that may be the saving grace of this receiver class is Steelers rookie JuJu Smith-Schuster.

For his next trick, JuJu Smith-Schuster will make Martavis Bryant disappear! Since October 1st, he is playing more snaps and running more routes than Bryant… at 20 years old. 

As it turns out, you can’t downgrade from Brandin Cooks to Ted Ginn, and from Jimmy Graham to Coby Fleener, and continue to post 20 fantasy points a game. Things don’t get better for Drew Brees as the Saints’ next five opponents have top-15 pass defenses.

Aaron Rodgers’ broken collarbone was the worst injury of week 6, because it torpedoed the entire Green Bay offense from Davante Adams to Ty Montgomery. 

What about Brett Hundley? Hundley’s prospect profile is impressive. Precocious and efficient college passer with great athleticism, but his ceiling is Ryan Tannehill with wheels. More likely, as a late round pick coming in with no experience, fast Trevor Siemian is the most realistic comp.

One of the keys to winning consistently in fantasy football is the ability to identify potential breakouts before they happen. Stashing players that would become hot adds with a big game before any of your leaguemates is a winning strategy in any format.

Brett Hundley had a bad game in relief of Aaron Rodgers against the Vikings in Week 6, which scared many owners off of him during this week’s waiver period despite a favorable Week 7 match-up against New Orleans.

Joe Mixon has 2.1 Yards Created per Carry, No. 7 in the league, and also posts a 30.8 percent Juke Rate (No.11). Mixon is too good, and the Steelers run defense will afford Mixon copious running lanes. 

Thielen is already a target vacuum for the Vikings, averaging a whopping 8.8 targets per game along with a 26.6 percent Target Share. Like Doug Baldwin, Thielen gets a big boost from his time in the slot, where he has spent 53.8 percent of the Vikings snaps this season.

Joe Mixon is the ultimate under-the-radar fantasy football running back buy-low trade candidate based on his advanced stats, metrics and analytics profiles.

Joe Mixon’s metrics align closely with Ezekiel Elliott. On the other hand, his running style reminds scouts of Le’Veon Bell. So if we placed Bell and Elliott in a particle acceleration chamber, out would step Joe Mixon. Whoa.

Taylor Gabriel has seen his snap count increase dramatically given recent hip and hamstring injuries to Julio Jones and Mohamed Sanu respectively. After playing more than 50 percent of the Falcons offensive snaps just once in the first three games, he has surpassed 80 percent of the team’s snaps in each of their last two games.

Against the Jets, Dion Lewis received over ten touches for the first time all season, and answered with 52 total yards and a touchdown. No player in the league is quite as elusive as Lewis, as he was able to force 7 evaded tackles against the Jets off of 11 touches, and sports a 46.2 percent Juke Rate (No. 6).
