It’s hard to believe how quickly the 2022 season is flying by. Further complicating matters is the arrival of those pesky bye weeks. That places added importance on the Fantasy Football Waiver Wire: Week 7.

 

Here are the top fantasy-relevant, low-rostered free agents to target ahead of Week 7, with FAAB recommendations. Also, don’t forget the Bills, Rams, Vikings, and Eagles are on bye this week.

 

FAAB denotes Free Agent Acquisition Budget

 

Deon Jackson (RB) Indianapolis Colts (20% FAAB) – A recommended add last week, Jackson made the most of his opportunity. Indy’s RB3, Jackson got the spot start and turned 22 touches into 121 scrimmage yards and a score en route to finishing the week as the overall RB1. Of course, the huge concern is Jackson was unable to finish the game with a quad injury. Jackson tweeted after the game that he was “all good,” which is reassuring. However, with Jonathan Taylor tentatively expected back this week, Jackson may have a hard time seeing consistent snaps. Thus, a strong but cautious bid is in order.

 

Brian Robinson (RB) Washington Commanders (13%) – Robinson indeed got the start and led Washington in carries. He wasn’t overly impressive but did manage to punch in a goal-line score. Robinson’s value will be somewhat capped by a lack of targets but he should be added in all formats.

Thursday Night Football Preview: Week 6

After last week’s Thursday tilt, there’s nowhere to go but up, right? Seemingly, but 1-4 Washington at 2-3 Chicago isn’t exactly a premiere matchup. Still, our Thursday Night Football Preview: Week 6 breaks down the game with all the fantasy, DFS, and sports betting knowledge you’ll need.

This game opened at a lowly 40 points and has dropped to 38. Points will be at a premium in this one. That places extra emphasis on being able to accurately predict this streaming spectacle.

 

Washington has lost four straight after beating Jacksonville in Week 1. Meanwhile, the Bears have dropped consecutive games and are a mess on offense.

 

How will this one go?

It seems like the 2022 NFL season is flying by. About the only thing keeping up with that brisk pace is roster depletion. The injuries keep mounting up and the Fantasy Football Waiver Wire: Week 6 is vital to helping you stay proactive.

 

Here are the top fantasy-relevant, low-rostered free agents to target ahead of Week 6, with FAAB recommendations.

FAAB denotes Free Agent Acquisition Budget

 

Kenneth Walker III (RB) Seattle Seahawks (75%+ FAAB) – Another unfortunate injury to Rashaad Penny might have unlocked the biggest acquisition of the 2022 season. Once thrust into action, Walker took every carry for Seattle and played nearly every down. He showed tremendous burst and vision and broke a 69-yard TD. Available in more than half of ESPN leagues, Walker is going to cost a substanisial bid. And, he’s going to be worth it. If the Seahawks continue to look this good, Walker offers league-winning upside.

Taysom Hill (TE) New Orleans Saints (10% FAAB) – Somebody is likely to overbid for Hill bases on last week’s blow-up game. He’s certainly worth a solid bid but proceed with caution. Hill is not drawing targets and his role has increased with Andy Dalton filling in. When Jameis Winston returns, there is no guarantee the Saints will be willing to give as many red-zone snaps to Hill. Cash in while you can, but understand the risk/reward.

Thursday Night Football Preview: Week 5

A month ago, the Denver Broncos hosting the Indianapolis Colts would have been a potential playoff preview. Now, we have a matchup between two disappointing teams that are scuffling offensively. Still, that doesn’t mean there are major fantasy ramifications to consider with our Thursday Night Football Preview: Week 5.

Denver’s offense did show some signs of life last week but now has to move forward without star running back Javonte Williams. How will Nathaniel Hackett adjust his already scrutinized play-calling without Williams?

The Colts will also be without their star running back, which certainly won’t help an offense that has struggled and is turning the ball over way too often.

The Broncos are 3.5-point favorites and the over/under stands at 42.5 points.

Matchup 

TEAM OFFENSE PASS RUSH YDS/PLAY POINTS
Indianapolis Colts  19  10  27  24  32
Denver Broncos  21  18 18 16  30

It’s hard to believe that these are two of the three lowest-scoring teams in football. Indy’s struggles start up front, as the Colts’ offensive line ranks 27th in sack percentage. They haven’t opened up any holes for the ground game and rank 30th in fourth-down conversion.

 

How will tonight’s  game go?
