Week 7 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em

by Matt Hylen and Zak Drapeau 10/16/2025 Sportz Nation Start 'Em (Matt Hylen ) Quarterback Credit to AP Photo/Ian Walton Caleb Williams vs NO Caleb Williams has proven a lot of doubters wrong this season, which I think continues in Week 7. After posting a 252-yard and 2 total TD performance last week, Williams is primed to keep the momentum going against a poor Saints team that allows the 4th most points to QBs. Justin Fields vs CAR Though the Jets have been abysmal this sea

Tampa Bay Buccaneers 5-1 Last Week: 30-19 Win vs SF Photo by Peter Joneleit/ Associated Press For the third week in a row we have a new #1 as the Buccaneers take the crown. Even without Mike Evans and Chris Godwin, Baker Mayfield is looking like the MVP of the league. With Todd Bowles taking care of the defense and Baker running the #6 offense, this team will be rolling and only getting better when they get healthy. ______________

Week 6 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em

by Zak Drapeau and Matt Hylen Start 'Em (Matt Hylen ) Quarterback Matthew Stafford at BAL As the current passing yards leader in the NFL, Matthew Stafford will look to ride the hot hand in Week 6. Even with the loss in Week 5, Stafford shined for his fantasy managers, throwing for 389 yards and 3 TDs. He did have a lost fumble, but that should not take away from his fantastic form lately.
