[Kicker post is here.]

Last week

That was a resoundingly good week 7, as far as fantasy predictions go!

Unless you chose Steelers D/ST (my #6), or Matt Gay (my #4) as your Kicker, chances are that the model projections guided you as well as can be expected.

It’s not many weeks that I measure to be as good for D/ST and for QB predictions.

Patriots, Chiefs, and Browns gave best examples of a top-3 trio for D/ST streaming.

All 3 Survivor pathways succeeded for the week

Returns from Betting Lines turned positive again, more than making up for the week 6 losses. Net returns are close to the peak of week 4.

Reminders

A bunch of new features have been added since the season start!

Don’t miss the revised Kicker tables if you have the Details view, to get a better overview of boom risk and bust potential.

An for everyone including non-subscribers, don’t miss that I have 3 tools to assist with flex positions RB/WR/TE:

1. The “TAPsheets” (link at the top-right) is a Trade Value calculator. Use it to consider who you keep on your roster.

2. The “Opportunity Scores” (blue link at the top-right) can guide you to finding undervalued players, you might be able to get at a discount.

3. The 17-Week view for RB/WR/TE has been fairly accurate— especially last week. Use it to judge strength of schedule

   1. to decide on your starting roster for the current week, according to the matchup, or…

   2. or consider who’s worth grabbing / keeping / or dropping, depending on how their upcoming schedule looks.

As announced last week, there won’t be a D/ST post this week, but I’ve been working on some Kicker analysis to share later.

Good luck in week 8— Hoping for more of the same! (except another Steelers incident)
