In this video, we are going to break down 10 must start players that you need to have in your fantasy

0:04.1

lineups for week seven before they explode. You will definitely regret leaving these guys on your bench.

0:08.9

And let's start with Jordan Addison, who is coming out of his biweek and he's only played in about two games this year.

0:13.7

And I say about two games because the game before his biweek in him play in the first quarter, he was basically bench bench for some like contract detrimental to the team type

0:21.0

stuff, not shown up to a practice, something along those lines. So we've seen Addison in two games. He had to play overseas as well. So it's a little bit like of a skewed and warped start to his season. And his first ever game, four catches, 114 yards. He had a big 80 yard catch late in that game. That kind of flipped the entire game, flipped his entire fantasy day as well. But that's the type of player that Jordan Addison is. He's this big play guy. He was a big play guy in college at UNC, or USC, and since Justin Jefferson is on his team usually takes away attention, it leads a lot of one-on-one opportunities for Jordan Addison. So he has a solid game in week four, then in week five he comes out again after only playing about three quarters of this game missing the first quarter four catches or five catches 41 yards and he gets the receiving touchdown in this game so he's had back to back very solid flex wide receiver two type numbers for you if you've been holding out on him suspended the first three games of the season plays two games solidly then goes on by so for the most part it's kind of been quiet about how jordan addison has reforming this year. And it's been pretty good. Okay. So now Jordan Addison gets to return out of his bye week, which is going to be important for this entire team. We'll see what the quarterback situation is. As of this recording, it's not sure if it's going to be Carson Wentzer, J.J. McCarthy, who's going to be starting there, whoever it is, they might have a little bit of an easier matchup this weekend against the Eagles.

1:45.3

Because the Eagles, the last time they played 10 days ago, Quineon Mitchell had a hamstring injury and was ruled out against the Giants. And this was definitely a factor as the Giants were able to move the ball on this defense. And a big reason why is your number one cornerback was out. And if you haven't watched football this year or any Eagles games, let me fill you in on something. The Eagles cornerback two spot, if you know this if you're an Eagles fan,

2:02.9

Adori Jackson, whoever's been there, has been terrible. So they need Quinyon Mitchell out there. Now, as of this recording, I'm not sure if he'll be playing or not. Obviously, if he's not playing even better for Jordan Addison and the entire passing attack, although Mitchell would probably be on Justin Jefferson. So either way, Addison should get a nice matchup here. When they did not have Quinnion Mitchell in the last game, this is what the Giants gave up.

2:04.3

Or this is what the Eagles gave up to the Giants on Thursday night. A six-catch, 84-yard game to Wondell Robinson. Lil Jordan Humphrey comes out of nowhere, who's been a tight end at times in the NFL when he was on the Saints for four catches for 55 yards, right? This was by far the best game as a passer Jackson Dard has had,

2:18.7

averaging 7.8 yards per attempt on just 25 pass attempts. So we're going to see what happens. This Eagles defense has not been great. Obviously, they didn't have Quinnion Mitchell. They also didn't have Jalen Carter in the middle of that defense with a heel injury. We'll see what their statuses are. But at worst, at worst, it looks like it's going to be a nice matchup specifically for Jordan Addison on the outside.

2:36.3

He'll probably end up facing a Dory Jackson or Keeley Ringo, which is going to be a nice matchup. Both of those guys have graded in terms of PFF grades, which is a lot of talk of the town right now if you're in the Twitter bubble of the NFL and fantasy and all that. but they've been graded near the bottom of PFF grades at the cornerback spot.

2:49.3

Now this game this weekend is expected to be a close one.

2:51.4

It's a one and a half point spread.

2:52.6

The Vikings are actually home underdogs coming out of a bind. have been graded near the bottom of PFF grades at the cornerback spot. Now, this game this weekend is expected to be a close one.

2:51.4

It's a one and a half point spread.

2:52.6

The Vikings are actually home underdogs coming out of a biweek, which is, which is usually rare for a quality team in terms of Minnesota. Home underdogs coming out of the by week. If you're a home underdog, naturally, if you look back over the last 10 years or so, home underdogs is a good spot for the passing attack.

3:06.8

It means that you're going to be in a neutral or negative situation,

3:09.6

meaning you have to throw to keep up and you're at home, which is a friendly environment. So we might see 35, 40 plus pass attempts here. That helps Jordan Addison. So you want Jordan Addison in your lineup this week, aside from Justin Jefferson, really no target competition here. T.J. Hawkinson has been pretty hot and cold and mostly cold for most of the year.

3:24.5

No wide receiver three competition with Adam Thielen basically not being involved in the offense all that much. So you want to start Jordan Addison this week. And now let's move over to the running back position where this next guy we're going to talk about is coming off of a terrible game, but he's a top 10 running back this week for sure. That guy we got to talk about is the second round rookie running back for the Cleveland Browns,

3:40.9

who, look, in week six, this was not pretty at all.

3:43.4

If you started him, boy, oh boy, was it terrible. 12 carries, 36 yards, no touchdowns, no passing game involvement at all for Quinn Sean Jenkins as the Browns ended up getting blown out in this one by the Steelers 23 to nine. It wasn't even that close for most of the game. The Steelers got out to an early lead in the first quarter. They didn't look back. And this resulted in this game, if we scroll down, which seems crazy, Dylan Gabriel throwing the ball 52 times. And the problems for Quinn Sean Jenkins, who's mostly just a rusher, he's not known as a pass catcher. We knew that in college. We knew that coming out. Quinn John Jenkins, no catches in this game. The guy who stepped in for him was both Jerome Ford five catches, Dylan Samson, two catches. They took Jenkins off the field as they played from behind by multiple scores and they put these other guys on the field. That's not good for Jenkins. That's why multiple weeks ago we were telling you to trade him because this offense is not going to be good. They're going to be trailing and Junkins is going to come

4:32.2

off the field off. Which is why you should still probably trade him except wait till after this week when he gets his value back up because now he's in the totally opposite situation than he was last week. Remember those first three games of the season, one of which he really was kind of on a snap count when he was averaging 17 points per game, 95 rushing yards per game.

4:47.6

He broke off the big 30, 40-yard run against the Packers in week three and didn't look back
