The ESPN undroppables list has an unlikely addition. Adding Ryan Fitzpatrick for the week could be a good option for your fantasy team. CBS’ trade value chart for the week has Le’Veon Bell at the top. Cutting ties with Flacco is the right choice for fantasy purposes. There are quite a few good defenses still available on waivers. Dez Bryant may be returning soon.
ESPN Undroppables
There are six quarterbacks on the ESPN Undroppables list, and one of them is the Red Rifle. Yes, Andy Dalton has been that good this season, and Peyton Manning is no longer on the list. I picked him up after week 4 in my league, without any competition for him, when he was the #1 ranked quarterback. I still don’t know how much everyone trusts him, but we’re more than a third of the way through the season, and Dalton has torn apart very good defenses like Seattle and Buffalo already. What an incredibly strange year it’s been!
15 Fantasy Football Transactions for Week 7
JJ Zachariason of numberFire is back with his weekly column, and he and I are on the same page yet again. One of his adds at the quarterback position is Ryan Fitzpatrick, who is facing a New England defense that has given up a good chunk of passing yards this season. Other moves include selling Melvin Gordon, whose value is very low at this point, and dropping Alfred Morris, who is essentially worthless at this point.
Week 7 Fantasy Football Trade Values
Next to drafting, trades are the most fun thing to do in fantasy football. This CBS Sports trade chart will help you to determine the value of your players. Dave Richard looks closely at the chart and determines a few potential trade options for Antonio Gates, who was missing from the chart just a couple of weeks ago.
Week 7 Fantasy Football Drop List: Cutting Ties With Flacco
Joey Keys of numberFire thinks that you should drop Joe Flacco. I tend to agree. While he has produced against good matchups like Oakland and Cleveland, he is not a consistently reliable option that is worthy of a precious roster spot. I’d much rather pick up a player like Blake Bortles and start him than continue to rely on Flacco, who throws to a limited amount of playmakers.
Fantasy Football Defensive Streaming: Week 7 Edition
There are quite a few good streaming options this week in fantasy football. If your league is anything like mine, then the Steelers and Redskins are both still available on the waiver wire because of the preseason stigma associated with both of those defenses. In reality, however, both of them have been top 10 defenses this season. The Redskins defense is owned in just 6.4% of ESPN leagues, while the Steelers are owned in just 12.2% of ESPN leagues. Both have great matchups this week against the Bucs and Chiefs respectively.
Dez Bryant may be back sooner rather than later
Jerry Jones says on @1053thefan that Dez has a chance to play this week. They will see if he's comfortable making his cuts Wed and Thurs.

It’s time for the return of Dez Bryant. Is his value as high as it would be with Tony Romo? No, but he is still a top 10 receiving option, just like Antonio Brown. If you can buy him low, I’d highly recommend it (and I’m trying to do the same thing myself).
