Pitts is soaring to new heights
These players saw their fantasy values increase or decrease most based on their performances in Week 7:
Sizzlers
TE Kyle Pitts, Atlanta Falcons: It’s taken time for the Falcons to integrate the No. 4 overall pick in the 2021 draft into their offense, but Pitts followed up a nine-catch, 119yard performance in Week 6 with seven receptions for 163 yards against Miami.
RB D’Andre Swift, Detroit Lions: Swift has excelled as a fantasy option, primarily due to his combined usage as both a runner and a receiver. In a very tough matchup, Swift supplemented his meager 48 rushing yards with eight receptions for 96 yards and a TD.
RB Damien Harris, New England Patriots: Without a viable backup, Harris should continue as the bell cow in New England. He has scored four touchdowns over his last three games with back-toback 100-yard rushing efforts.
QB Joe Burrow, Cincinnati Bengals: In a statement victory over division rival Baltimore, Burrow threw for 416 yards and three touchdowns.
QB Tua Tagovailoa, Miami Dolphins: Tagovailoa tried to rally the Dolphins but fell just short, completing 32 of 40 passes for 291 yards and four scores. If he wasn’t added off the waiver wire last week, he should definitely be rostered across the board now.
Fizzlers
WR Allen Robinson, Chicago Bears: Chicago’s passing game is struggling while rookie quarterback Justin Fields learns on the job. Against a beaten-up Tampa Bay secondary, Robinson was only able to muster two receptions for 16 yards.
WR Tim Patrick, Denver Broncos: In his worst game of the season, Patrick caught two balls for 16 yards against Cleveland. With Jerry Jeudy expected back next week, his opportunities appear numbered.
WR Zach Pascal, Indianapolis Colts: Granted the conditions in San Francisco were sloppy, but Pascal has faded, even with additional opportunities due to various injuries to Colts receivers.
WR Odell Beckham, Cleveland Browns: OBJ once again struggled to get open with just two receptions for 23 yards. In and out of the lineup because of a shoulder injury, he has just 16 receptions in five games.
WR Robby Anderson, Carolina Panthers: The Carolina offense can’t seem to find an answer and Anderson hasn’t been it. He’s had 38 targets in his last four games, but he’s only caught 13 of them. At some point, he’ll stop getting targets if he can’t turn them into receptions.
