This is a pretty meaningful upgrade for Seattle, especially because their biggest offensive problem lately has been interior stability and keeping Sam Darnold upright. Nelson is still playing at a very high level. He's allowed zero sacks in 275 pass-blocking snaps this season with only a 2.2% pressure rate. He also brings eight straight Pro Bowls and a long track record as one of the league’s premier guards. For the run game, this should help immediately. Seattle is averaging only 3.9 yards per carry as a team, and the run game has been inconsistent. That is good news for Emanuel Wilson, Zach Charbonnet, and Jadarian Price when gets back. For the passing game, the biggest impact may be indirect. Better interior protection means Darnold should have fewer immediate pressures in his face. Seattle has already allowed 16 sacks, and Darnold himself has taken 14 of them. As if things couldn't get better for JSN, who's been carrying this passing game with 867 receiving yards. It should also help secondary options like Cooper Kupp, Rashid Shaheed and A.J. Barner by allowing more routes to fully develop instead of the offense being forced into quicker answers. Nelson won’t fix everything by himself, but adding an elite interior pass protector is about as direct a solution as they could have made. Nelson should raise the floor of the entire unit more than he raises the ceiling of any one player.

A few of the names and situations inside: Jonah Coleman leads the priority claims with legitimate league-winning upside Rachaad White and Antonio Williams should both see major usage bumps in Washington Caleb Douglas is back and immediately reminded everyone of his ceiling Travis Hunter is one of the most interesting stashes on the board Seth McGowan could become very relevant depending on what happens with Jonathan Taylor Also, Dylan Sampson, Makai Lemon, Mason Taylor and more. Plus QB streamers for 1QB and Superflex leagues. You’ll also find FAAB ranges, deeper stashes and the players who may be sitting on waivers that should take priority over this week’s new names.

My quick initial Panic on several players Garrett Wilson averaged 19 PPG over the first three weeks, but only 10.5 PPG over the last four. The biggest red flag is volume: just 3 targets this week and about 6 targets per game over the last four. Omar Cooper is emerging, Mason Taylor is getting red-zone work, and the offense is functioning without force-feeding Garrett. The alpha target share we drafted him for is clearly under pressure. Nico Collins is still running the most routes and remains the top dog, but he’s gone three straight weeks without topping 11 PPR points and is averaging just over 5 targets per game in that span. Marvin Harrison Jr. was targeted on 50% of his routes in this game, while Jaylen Noel, Xavier Hutchinson, Kayshon Boutte and eventually Tank Dell all threaten to spread this offense out even more. Chase Brown played 40 of 53 snaps and had 16 opportunities compared with just 4 for Samaje Perine. The concern is goal-line work: Perine came in after a DPI at the goal line and scored. So the volume remains good, but valuable touches could be siphoned off. This feels more like a downgrade than a panic. Derrick Henry has now had back-to-back games under 6 fantasy points looks ugly. Lamar Jackson’s absence seems to be changing everything. Defenses can stack the box more, scoring opportunities fall, and Henry doesn’t have receiving volume to bail him out. Cam Skattebo looked much better: 124 yards, a touchdown, 18 touches and the majority of the backfield work. But he felt something in his hamstring late and intentionally slid, then said it was “good thing we have a bye week.” That’s the worry. Even with the bye, hamstrings can linger, and there’s a chance he misses time coming out of it. Isaiah Likely - The box score disappointed, but McCarthy looked good, and Likely had a potential huge play erased when the pass was tipped. The Giants also weren’t forced into a high-volume passing script. Justin Jefferson had 4 catches for 44 yards, and the concern centers on Kyler Murray plus Minnesota’s dominant defense. If the Vikings aren’t forced to throw and Kyler isn’t consistently creating quality downfield opportunities, Jefferson’s weekly floor becomes shakier than we’re used to. The talent gives him blowup weeks, but the weekly consistency is legitimately at risk. Denzel Boston with now back-to-back disappointing games, and meanwhile KC Concepcion exploded for 8/129. Concepcion should now rank ahead of Boston rest of season. Boston’s production has leaned on splash plays and YAC that may not be repeatable, while Concepcion’s target share has quietly been there for a while. DK Metcalf had a bad week, but the underlying role remained strong. He was still one of Pittsburgh’s top route runners and target earners; the game just never demanded volume because New Orleans couldn’t score. Germie Bernard - Same story as DK. Still at the top of the offense in routes and targets. The game environment killed the need for passing. Hold steady. Tetairoa McMillan / Jalen Coker - Tampa Bay dominated the game and Bryce Young was under pressure almost immediately throughout. This was an awkward game rather than a reason to downgrade either player materially. Sam LaPorta - One disappointing National Tight Ends Day performance is not enough to move him down. Keep starting him. Josh Downs ran routes on 93% of dropbacks, which is exactly the kind of playing time you'd want. The problem is that Keenan Allen, on just 67% route participation, still generated more receiving yards per route run. That doesn’t mean Downs is losing his role, but it does reinforce the concern that the snaps and routes aren’t turning into enough useful production right now. Juwan Johnson has posted receiving-yard totals of 16, 0 and 7 over his last three games, and his route participation dropped to just 59% as New Orleans incorporated more tight ends. That combination and declining production is concerning. Jaylen Waddle was already struggling to live up to the expectations this season. To make matters worse, he exited the game for a medical evaluation and went to the locker room with a chest injury. It has been a very disappointing year for Waddle.

New on the Inside Angle - The Great Debate: To Start or Not To Start? Week 7 Huge shoutout to @FFrealitycheck for another outstanding job with this week’s lineup breakdown. Week 7 is loaded with difficult decisions, and this one dives into the matchups, usage and game environments behind some of the toughest calls 👇 - Can you really consider sitting Patrick Mahomes? - Is Josh Jacobs ready to step right back into your lineup? - Can Carnell Tate overcome the Cam Ward experience again? - Is T.J. Hockenson ready to re-enter the TE1 conversation? - What do we do with the entire Giants backfield? - Has Harold Fannin Jr. become too difficult to trust? Philosopher also brings back the receipts from Week 6. One of my favorite parts of this series is that he doesn’t just tell you who to start or sit. He explains why, while being willing to revisit the process when things don’t go according to plan. This piece was written before Seattle’s ruling on Zach Charbonnet, so that update was not reflected in the original analysis.

🚨 WEEK 7 START/SIT - PLAYER vs. PLAYER 🚨 I went through all of your questions from yesterday and there were some very clear decisions that kept coming up. Here are 8 of the toughest ones I saw - 2 QB, 2 RB, 2 WR and 2 TE. I’ll give you the Data Angle, The Consensus Angle + my personal Angle on each 👇 1️⃣ QB: Joe Burrow vs. C.J. Stroud ➡️ BURROW

Lamar Jackson is OUT for Sunday vs. Cincinnati and Tyler Huntley will start for Baltimore. Our PT, DPT @Ribu18 warned yesterday that this wasn’t a typical ankle sprain. Lamar is dealing with a high ankle sprain, which can impact everything from push-off and throwing mechanics to mobility. Now Baltimore will give him another week to recover. What does this mean for fantasy? We actually have 2 starts worth of data on Huntley already: 🏈 Start 1: 24/32, 201 yards, 2 TD 6 carries, 20 yards, rushing TD QB10 in 6-pt passing TD scoring 🏈 Start 2: 19/31, 165 yards, TD 5 carries, 28 yards QB17 in 6-pt passing TD scoring That’s 48 rushing yards and a rushing TD across the two starts and that mobility is what keeps Huntley interesting for fantasy. He's not Lamar, obviously, but in Superflex/2QB leagues he’s absolutely in play, and even in 1QB formats he becomes a viable streamer depending on your alternatives.
