Q&A

  • What are some of the key injuries that occurred during Monday Night Football, and how will they impact fantasy football?

    Mike Evans and Chris Godwin, two key wide receivers for the Buccaneers, suffered injuries that could sideline them for multiple weeks. This will significantly impact their fantasy value and force managers to find replacements.

  • What is the potential for Kyler Murray and Marvin Harrison Jr. to form a dynamic duo in the Cardinals' offense?

    While their performance in the Cardinals vs. Chargers game was underwhelming, there is potential for them to develop a strong connection. However, the Cardinals' passing offense needs to improve overall for Harrison Jr. to reach his full potential.

  • What are some of the top streaming quarterback options for those needing to replace injured Jayden Daniels?

    Tua Tagovailoa, Bonix, and Drake May are all viable options, with favorable matchups and recent performances that suggest they could be productive.

  • Who are some of the key waiver wire wide receiver options to consider this week?

    Cedric Tillman, who had a breakout performance in Week Seven, is a priority add. Alexander Madison, who has emerged as a viable running back option, could also be a valuable addition.

  • What is the outlook for Romeo Dobbs as a waiver wire pick-up?

    While he has had two strong performances recently, his role in the Packers' offense remains uncertain. He is a valuable hold on the bench, but his fantasy value is unpredictable.

  • What is the overall outlook for the waiver wire this week?

    It's not a particularly strong week for adding players, with few standout options. However, Juwan Jennings and Cedric Tillman are exceptions, and could be valuable additions for those needing help at wide receiver.

  • How did Daniel Dopp's fantasy team perform in his matchup against Phil Jates?

    Dopp's team dominated Jates' team, with Lamar Jackson, Rosanne Brown, and Karim Hunt leading the way. Jates' team struggled with underperforming players, including David Montgomery, Pop Douglas, and Xavier Laget.

  • What is the current state of Mike Clay's auto-drafted fantasy team?

    Clay's team is currently tied with Defonya for first place, but Defonya is ranked higher. Clay's team has struggled with wide receiver production, but has strong running backs in John Robinson and Kyron Williams.

  • What is the outlook for Christian McCaffery's return to the 49ers?

    While there is no definitive timeline, McCaffery is expected to return after the 49ers' bye week in Week Nine, with a potential return date of Week Ten.
