Roster moves

The Broncos have placed ILB Jonas Griffith #50, RT Billy Turner #57, LS Mitchell Fraboni #48 and on the injured reserve and promoted LB Harvey Langi #43, WR Brandon Johnson #89 and DL Jonathan Harris #92 to the active roster.

Outlook

This is the third divisional game of the year for the Denver Broncos, they have lost all of their divisional games this year. The Broncos net points in divisional games this year is -12. The offense has played better within the division, they’re averaging 20 points per game. Overall they’re averaging 14.6 PPG. Overall the defense gives up 17 points per game. In divisional games the defense has been awful! They are allowing 26 points per game. CAN you see the CATASTROPHIC flaw? I ask because the defense gets some much praise. It’s as if they’re a political party that only listens to themselves. They have no idea what the other side of the team is doing. If they did, they’d stop talking about how little yards they allow and start talking about all the points they give up. "We allow just enough points for the other team to win." --my motto for the Denver D.

The Raiders are averaging 27 points per game in divisional play and their defense allows 26 points per game. A winning combination, if Josh could learn how to close out games.

Two big news items dropped this week. Local media reported that Russell Wilson was calling Seahawk audibles at the line. The other big new item was that Coach Nathaniel Hackett has given up his play calling duties. The new play caller is Klint Kubiak who is also the Quarterback coach.

Fantasy Injury Updates: Latest news on Julio Jones, Tyreek Hill, Allen Robinson, more WRs impacting Week 7 start-sit calls

Several key WRs have already been ruled out for Week 7 (Antonio Brown, T.Y. Hilton, Kadarius Toney, Kenny Golladay, Curtis Samuel, Sammy Watkins), and several more (Julio Jones, Tyreek Hill, Sterling Shepard, Allen Robinson, DeVante Parker) are “questionable.” Waiting for the latest injury updates inevitably causes start ’em, sit ’em headaches, especially in a heavy bye week, but it looks like fantasy football owners will have to sweat out at least a few of these wide receivers until the official active/inactive reports are released.

We’ll be updating this article with the latest injury news throughout the day on Sunday. For the latest on ailing RBs Damien Williams, Antonio Gibson, D’Andre Swift, and Sony Michel, go here; for more on banged-up TEs Darren Waller, T.J. Hockenson, and Evan Engram, click here; for news on Alex Collins, go here; for the Week 7 weather forecast, click here. For all the latest fantasy news, follow us on Twitter @SN_Fantasy.

WEEK 7 FANTASY: Sleepers | Busts | Start ’em, sit ’em

Is Julio Jones playing in Week 7?

Jones (hamstring) didn’t practice Wednesday but was a limited participant on Thursday and Friday. He’s “questionable” for Sunday’s game against the Chiefs.

If Jones plays, the decision to start or sit him depends on if you like to take risks. The matchup almost couldn’t be better, and this game has shootout potential. However, we’ve seen him leave two games early and miss two games this season. He’s not 100 percent, and Tennessee is being extremely cautious with the seasoned vet. They aren’t against yanking him out of the game after the first drive if they feel like they need to. It’s a coin flip here, but the upside is undeniable.

If he’s out, A.J. Brown should be in line for a monster game. He flashed in the second half against the Bills, catching seven passes for 91 yards, so maybe it’s time for him to get back to elite status. You can’t really count on any other Titans’ pass-catchers, but Nick Westbrook-Ikhine would make some sense as a flex if Jones is out.

Is Tyreek Hill playing in Week 7?

UPDATE: ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported late Saturday night that Hill is expected to play against Tennessee.

Hill (quad) did not practice on Wednesday or Thursday, but he got in a limited practice on Friday. He didn’t practice at all last week and was productive (9-76-1). The Chiefs are set to face the worst defense against fantasy WRs, so Hill easily has No. 1 overall WR upside this week in Tennessee.

If he can’t go, the case to start Mecole Hardman has never been stronger. Hardman has drawn 17 targets over the last two weeks, so his usage could be the best we’ve ever seen in Hill’s absence. Even if Hill can go, Hardman has flex appeal. Josh Gordon, Byron Pringle, and Demarcus Robinson would also be in play as flexes, but it’s tough to know how the Chiefs will distribute the ball beyond significant targets to TE Travis Kelce.

Is Sterling Shepard playing in Week 7?

UPDATE: ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported late Saturday night that Shepard will be a game-time decision after testing his hamstring in pre-game warm-ups. Darius Slayton is expected to play, thouogh.

Shepard (hamstring) was limited Thursday but reportedly suffered a setback during practice. Still, he took the practice field Friday in a limited capacity. He’s officially “questionable” heading into the matchup with Carolina and could be a legit game-time decision.

Darius Slayton (hamstring) had the same practice schedule as Shepard this week and is also “questionable.” Evan Engram (calf) was also limited this week. Kenny Golladay (knee) and Kadarius Toney (ankle) have already been ruled out.

The reality is this is a passing game to avoid with the exception of Shepard. He should dominate targets if he’s active, though Slayton would see a decent number, too, if he plays. If one or both are out, Dante Pettis and Collin Johnson would get looks, but it’s tough to trust either against a decent Panthers’ defense.

WEEK 7 DFS LINEUPS: DraftKings | FanDuel | Yahoo

Is Allen Robinson playing in Week 7?

UPDATE: ESPN Adam Schefter reported late Saturday night that Robinson is expected to play against Tampa.

Robinson (ankle) was out of practice on Wednesday before getting in limited sessions on Thursday and Friday. He’s “questionable” for the game against Tampa Bay, who boasts one of the worst pass defenses in football.

Robinson was on a similar practice schedule last week when he suited up, so we expect him to play again. If he’s active, he’s a solid starter given all the byes and injuries this week. If he’s out, Darnell Mooney would be a great WR3 option. Tampa Bay allows the seventh-most fantasy points per game WRs, and Richard Sherman (hamstring) has been ruled out. Their secondary was already thin before the Sherman news. Bears coach Matt Nagy has been conservative with Justin Fields, but against Tampa Bay, you have no choice but to pass early and often with how stout their run defense is.

MORE WEEK 7 DFS: Best stacks | Best values | Lineup Builder

Is DeVante Parker playing in Week 7?

Parker (hamstring) was limited in practice all week and is officially “questionable” for Week 7 against Atlanta. This is a favorable matchup, but even if Parker is healthy, these hamstring issues can mightily affect a WR as we’ve seen numerous times this season.

That said, start Jaylen Waddle no matter what in your flex spot, as he hit the ground running in Tua Tagovailoa’s first game back from injury. If Parker plays, he’s a WR3/flex. If he’s out and Preston Williams (groin) plays, he’s also a flex.

Week 4 Fantasy Busts: Chuba Hubbard, Nick Westbrook-Ikhine among matchup worries

Not like we should be surprised, but we've seen countless busts already during the 2021 season. Some have struggled all season long, while other seem to wait until you insert them in your lineup before laying an egg. We're here to help with our Week 4 fantasy busts so you don't take a near zero in your starting lineup. Whether the general hype around a player has gotten too high or someone on the start 'em, sit 'em bubble has a tough matchup, there are a number of reasons disappointments can happen. This week Chuba Hubbard and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine were hot names on waivers but have some red flags that owners might be overlooking. Even the top studs can bust, but we can't realistically sit those players. It's easy to say the Patriots are tough against wide receivers, so expect less than usual from Mike Evans and Chris Godwin -- but who in their right mind is going to bench these guys unless you're in a six-team league? Instead, we have to find guys on the start 'em, sit 'em bubble who could actually be candidates to ride the pine this week. As always, don't bench any of our selections if you clearly have no better options, but be aware of the possibility of a down week and explore your options. WEEK 4 FANTASY: Sleepers | Start 'em, sit 'emFor last week, we get an A-plus for identifying Justin Fields, Sony Michel, Will Fuller, Robert Tonyan, and the Washington defense as busts. Where did we go wrong, though? D'Andre Swift looks almost matchup-proof in PPR, so we missed there. The same might be true for Derek Carr, who we also thought was due for a regression. Tyler Higbee had a decent game, and Tom Brady ended up with a nice fantasy day due to volume and a rushing score. Do we get some credit there for the gutsy call, though? Nah, probably not. WEEK 4 STANDARD RANKINGS: Quarterback | Running back | Wide receiver | Tight end | D/ST | KickerOverall, our busts have been more on point than our sleeper picks, and we're back again to figure out who might struggle in Week 4.

Week 4 Fantasy Busts: Running backs

Damien Harris, Patriots vs. Buccaneers (Jackson Sparks). Harris hasn't gotten a workhorse load since he fumbled in Week 1, and even with all of Tampa Bay's defensive struggles, they've still been shutting down the run. Harris doesn't present much of a threat in the receiving game, so even with James White out indefinitely, Harris won't get much usage through the air. That said, his floor and ceiling are very low. A goal-line touchdown is all that can save his day here.Myles Gaskin, Dolphins vs. Colts (Vinnie Iyer). Malcolm Brown is getting some starting attention for his different skill set, and expect Salvon Ahmed to get some chances soon, too. The matchup is also meh.Chuba Hubbard, Panthers @ Cowboys (Matt Lutovsky). Hubbard is going to get his touches, which is half the battle, but the Cowboys' defense has been far better than expected, especially against RBs. Austin Ekeler had a good day receiving against them in Week 2, but that's standard for him. The Bucs and Eagles' backs were shut down on the ground and through the air, and Hubbard could find himself in a similar situation. Plus, Royce Freeman could wind up stealing more snaps than most think.WEEK 4 PPR RANKINGS: Quarterback | Running back | Wide receiver | Tight end | D/ST | Kicker

Week 4 Fantasy Football Busts: Quarterbacks

Sam Darnold, Panthers @ Cowboys (Sparks). Darnold has been the sleeper of the season sitting at QB12, but he'll be without Christian McCaffrey (hamstring) for a few weeks. The pressure will be on him to deliver without his safety blanket, and the Cowboys' defense looks legitimately solid after getting torched by the Buccaneers in Week 1.Derek Carr, Raiders at Chargers (Iyer). It’s slowing down at some point, and Monday night on the road against a tougher pass defense under Brandon Staley is the time. Las Vegas will be a better bet for success in the running game.Ryan Tannehill, Titans @ Jets (Lutovsky). This looks like a great matchup at first blush, but Tannehill’s top receiver (A.J. Brown) is likely out, and the Jets surprisingly are allowing the second-fewest fantasy points per game (FPPG) to QBs this year. Turns out when you’re as bad as the Jets, teams simply don’t need to pass against you. Tannehill could have a decent day, but it’s Derrick Henry who figures to be the winner here.WEEK 4 DFS LINEUPS: DraftKings | FanDuel | Yahoo

Week 4 Fantasy Football Busts: Wide receivers

Cole Beasley, Bills vs. Texans (Sparks). Beasley once again looks like a PPR machine, but his fantasy points come from volume. If this game is a blowout, Josh Allen won't attempt a ton of passes, and Beasley could see a quiet day after the first half. It's important to remember bad teams are not always a great matchup due to the possibility of a one-sided game.Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, Titans vs. Jets (Iyer). Because of injuries for A.J. Brown (hamstring) and Julio Jones (knee), he might be the top wideout for Ryan Tannehill against New York, but Tennessee won’t be throwing much and the hosts’ corners are actually playing pretty darn well.Kenny Golladay and Kadarius Toney, Giants @ Saints (Lutovsky). It’s easy to think Golladay and Toney shine with Darius Slayton (hamstring) and Sterling Shepard (hamstring) hurting, but Golladay (hip) is dinged up himself and Toney has done nothing this year. Collin Johnson actually led the Giants in targets last week, Evan Engram is back, and Saquon Barkley is commanding a lot of touches. The Saints are also a much tougher defense than Atlanta. This could be a bad all-around offensive day for New York's wideouts. MORE WEEK 4 DFS: Best stacks | Best values | Lineup Builder

Week 4 Fantasy Football Busts: Tight ends

Mike Gesicki, Dolphins vs. Colts (Sparks). Gesecki had his best game of the season against the Raiders, catching 10-of-12 targets for 86 yards. However, despite the Colts not being as good as expected on defense, they've been among the top half of the league against tight ends. Overall, this offense is just bad with Jacoby Brissett at the helm, so all Dolphins are bust candidates this week. The Colts' defense usually heats up as the season progresses.Robert Tonyan, Packers vs. Steelers (Iyer). His TD-dependent, low volume ways are becoming a concern, as now other receivers are well involved beyond Davante Adams.Dalton Schultz, Cowboys vs. Panthers (Lutovsky). Schultz has a big Week 3, but we’ve already seen him disappear one week and show up the next. While we like his overall outlook for the season, we’re not high on him against a Panthers defense that’s allowed the fifth-fewest FPPG to TEs this year.

Week 4 Fantasy Busts: Defenses

Carolina Panthers @ Cowboys (Sparks). The Panthers have been one of the top defensive units this season, but they've faced Zach Wilson, Jameis Winston, and Davis Mills. Dak Prescott will be the best quarterback they've seen, and it's not even close. It doesn't help that cornerback Jaycee Horn (foot) will out of the game, too.Washington Football Team vs. Falcons (Iyer). It’s unbelievable how poorly they are playing with questionable effort and shaky discipline all over the field. They could get right against the Falcons but seem more likely to fall further into irrelevance.Denver Broncos vs. Ravens (Lutovsky). The Broncos have been great this year, but it’s not overly difficult to put up fantasy points against the Giants, Jaguars, and Jets. The Ravens are a different animal, and Denver is destined to disappoint. Read the full article
