Fantasy News

Josh Adams rushed four times for 17 yards in Sunday’s loss to the Panthers.

Adams has looked good when given opportunities, but fantasy relevancy doesn’t look like it will happen without an injury to Wendell Smallwood or Corey Clement. The Notre Dame product can stay on the waiver wire in redraft leagues heading into a matchup against the Jaguars.

T.Y. Hilton scores twice in Colts’ win.

Hilton was shadowed by Bills shutdown cornerback Tre’Davious White for much of the game, but he took advantage of a couple of zone defenses down by the goal line, getting free for two short touchdowns in the Week 7 victory. Overall, Hilton had four receptions for 25 yards and two touchdowns, so the scores with White off him helped make it a productive day. The speedy receiver appeared to be fully healthy after missing the last two games with chest and hamstring injuries, which is great to see. Hilton obviously needs to be in fantasy lineups against the Raiders in Week 8.

Wendell Smallwood leads Philadelphia backfield with 11 touches in Week 7 loss.

Smallwood rushed nine times for 32 yards, also adding two receptions for five yards. The Eagles held a 17-0 lead after a 17-play, 99-yard drive in the third quarter, but Carolina somehow got rolling for 21 unanswered points to drop Philly to 3-4. Look for Doug Pederson’s squad to establish the running game against a Jacksonville team that’s shown some softness this season, but Smallwood and Corey Clement might be draining the value of one another, limiting them both to decent FLEX value.

Eric Ebron catches three passes against the Bills.

Ebron gained 31 yards on his three receptions, and his streak of three consecutive games with a touchdown is now over. With T.Y. Hilton (two short touchdowns) back in the lineup, Ebron is no longer the de facto number one receiver for Andrew Luck. However, Ebron is still a TE1 option against the Raiders next week.

Carson Wentz, Eagles shocked at home as Panthers score 21 unanswered points to win 21-17.

Wentz was 30/37 for 310 yards, two touchdowns, and zero interceptions, also adding three carries for three yards and a lost fumble, which came on what amounted to the final play of the game in Carolina territory. Overall, Wentz showed excellent accuracy in one of his better throwing days since entering the league, but the big mistake came on the second-t0-last attempt of the game where he forced an incomplete pass to Alshon Jeffery in the end zone, as running back Wendell Smallwood was uncovered in the flat for an easy first down and potentially more. The Eagles now have more loss (four) than they did all of last season (three), and they will be in a desperate matchup across the pond next Sunday against the 3-4 Jaguars; Jacksonville is struggling, but Wentz should be downgraded to QB2 status for Week 8.

Chester Rogers catches four pass in Week 7.

Rogers gained 40 yards on his four receptions, catching all four of his targets against the Bills. His 40 yards led the Colts in a low-volume passing game for Indy. Rogers is a deep-league FLEX option for Week 8 against Oakland.

Jordan Wilkins gets seven touches in Week 7.

Wilkins carried six times for 46 yards and added one reception for eight yards against the Bills. He ran the ball well, but Marlon Mack had 21 touches for 159 yards and two touchdowns in the win. Wilkins isn’t a recommended fantasy option as long as Mack is on the field.
