Week 7 Trends
When the algorithms like a guy, they really like a guy. Scattered throughout almost every lineup is Jamaal Charles, Matt Forte and Brandon Marshall, players with good matchups that are reliable each and every week.
As usual, in order to have the studs, you're going to have to bring in a few cost-effective players. That's where Jacoby Jones comes into play, as he'll face a solid Steelers defense that's played well against opposing receivers. However, keep in mind that Pittsburgh tends to take number one receivers out of the game, leaving plenty of room for a guy like Jones to be a sleeper this week.
Also, take a look at Keenan Allen's cost on FanDuel. If you're not taking advantage of that, you're doing it wrong.
Remember, if you're entering a daily game on Thursday, you may want to shy away from choosing injury risks. Use our projections to help sort that out, or ask in the questions area of the site. And, as always, check back Sunday for updated rosters.
