Fantasy Risers After Week 7 📈

Jaxson Dart:

Dart has put up massive fantasy performances against premier defenses in his last two games. His ability to run has provided a consistent floor, and his touchdowns have added a high-quality ceiling. He is worthwhile start in pretty much every matchup he is in moving forward.

Travis Hunter: 

While lots of his production came in garbage time, the output Hunter showcased was very encouraging, especially when you consider how poorly the rest of the Jaguars played. If he was dropped in your league, he warrants strong consideration as an add. Side note - can BTJ stop dropping passes?

Rashee Rice:

Rashee Rice made an instant impact, as the WalterPicks Projections Team anticipated. He is going to continue being an elite option, and his stock is only going to continue rising moving forward.

Jordan Addison:

Jordan Addison has thrived in his last three games, and he is a must-start at this juncture. He is scoring touchdowns, and he is also seeing a very encouraging target share. He is an excellent option right now.

Fantasy Fallers After Week 5 📉

Bill Croskey-Merritt:

In an excellent matchup, Bill Croskey-Merritt left fantasy players incredibly disappointed. Now, he is someone that is incredibly difficult to trust, especially if Jayden Daniels misses time. His workload was encouraging again, but if he could not produce against Dallas, when will he?

Saquon Barkley:

Saquon has been a massive disappointment lately, and it almost seems as if the Madden curse has struck itself upon him at this point. Our only solace is that he has a matchup with a reeling Giants squad at home this upcoming week.

Ashton Jeanty:

Jeanty was, unsurprisingly, disappointing against the Chiefs, and we are projecting more of the same in the foreseeable future. Tough matchups make him a strong contender for bench status moving forward, depending on who else you have.

Alvin Kamara:

Kamara cannot be started in most leagues right now. He is inefficient, and he is not catching enough passes to provide a good floor in PPR leagues. And the Saints offense is not creating enough red zone opportunities for potential booms.

Add/Drop/Trade Candidates

TRADE FOR Wan’Dale Robinson:

Robinson did not have a massive performance against the Broncos, but he did have nearly 100 receiving yards on 12 targets. The G-Men have a tough schedule, but Robinson is the clear top target for Dart, and the rookie QB has been playing well. See what it may take to acquire the Giants’ top WR.

TRADE AWAY Jordan Mason:

Jordan Mason did not put together a great performance this week, but with Aaron Jones’ return looming, we recommend seeing what sort of offers you may receive for the Vikings’ running back. He has not been explosive, nor has he scored many touchdowns. See what cutting ties with him may award you with.

ADD Kyle Monangai:

The rookie out of Rutgers has seen his workload increase the last two weeks, and he now finds himself as an important handcuff with standalone value. He should be rostered in almost every league with 10 or more teams.

DROP TreVeyon Henderson:

Henderson cannot be started right now. He is not seeing much work on the Patriots offense, regardless of the matchup. Unless you have unwavering faith in the rookie running back, he is likely taking up a valuable roster spot right now. He can be safely dropped in leagues with 10 or less teams.
