The questions
you’re asking.

Four straight games with multiple passing touchdowns. Eleven scores against four interceptions over that stretch. Rodgers has supplied a more productive recent fantasy stretch than this almost-level projection comparison suggests.

Stafford is a credible alternative: four of his first six outings also included multiple touchdown passes, and Las Vegas adds a modest matchup lift. The raw FF forecasts barely separate them, so our deeper research call goes to Rodgers, whose recent scoring average is 20.0 FP against Stafford’s 18.0. This is an experimental close-call pick, not a claim that the margin is safe.

Murray’s previous outing included 10 rushes for 51 yards alongside 229 passing yards. That ground production gives him a way to salvage a fantasy day when the passing touchdowns do not pile up.

Prescott brings Monday-night flexibility, but his last four starts have produced four passing touchdowns and four interceptions. Murray’s 17.0-to-16.5 forecast advantage is small; the rushing contribution is the football reason to prefer him. Both are listed active in the checked feed.

Jeanty managed only 22 rushing yards last game, but four catches on six targets helped keep the afternoon from depending entirely on his carries. In full PPR, those receptions count before receiving yardage is added.

Irving makes this close. He returned to full practice Friday after an illness and carries no game designation for Carolina. That matchup adds 5% to his FF forecast, bringing him within roughly half a point of Jeanty. We still favor Jeanty, 16.9 to 16.4; Irving is an alternative you can start without treating the choice as a huge downgrade.

Pollard commanded 19 carries in his previous game, so this is not a warning that he has lost his job. The problem is what those opportunities have produced: one touchdown through six games and a recent fantasy average of 8.6 FP.

Dobbins is averaging 12.1 FP recently and has scored a rushing touchdown in consecutive appearances. Cleveland also produces an 8.75% downward matchup adjustment for Pollard, while Dobbins avoids that penalty against Arizona. Our deeper close-call analysis stays with Dobbins; the base FF gap is only 11.9 to 11.5.

Nacua is questionable after a calf injury interrupted Thursday’s practice. The latest report calls for a pregame workout before the Rams decide whether he can play. Chase is listed active and returns from Cincinnati’s bye after a six-catch, 10-target performance in his previous outing.

Start Chase in this comparison. Do not read Nacua’s displayed forecast as a clean estimate of his healthy ability: ESPN currently supplies zero while another feed remains above 22 points. That disagreement depresses the blend. Nacua’s status and forecasts need another check before the Rams’ later kickoff.

Coker returned from his quadriceps-related absence with six catches on 13 targets for 97 yards. He has reached six receptions in three of his first four appearances. That gives this recommendation a reception-based foundation.

Williams remains the dangerous alternative: his previous game produced two touchdowns on just two catches. His recent scoring average is actually higher than Coker’s, so form alone does not settle this. For Week 7, the full FF forecast still favors Coker, 16.0 to 12.7, against Tampa Bay.

Likely has drawn double-digit targets in three straight games, turning 36 opportunities into 24 catches, 259 yards and three touchdowns. That workload supports a recent scoring average of 23.3 FP and keeps him ahead in this comparison.

Kraft is no throwaway option. He drew eight targets last game, and Detroit gives him the maximum 10% defensive-matchup boost in the current FF calculation. Even with that help, Likely leads 16.1 to 13.5. Both tight ends are listed active in the checked feed.

The forecasts both round to 9.9, but that should begin the decision rather than end it. Minnesota has been a difficult matchup for kicker fantasy production, giving Shrader a 6.25% downward adjustment. Boswell does not receive that penalty against New Orleans.

Shrader has the stronger recent scoring average and is 18-for-18 on field goals through six games. Boswell is 13-for-17, but attempted five in his previous game. Our experimental deeper research call picks Boswell; Shrader’s accuracy is a real counterargument. Open Make the call to inspect the current decision and supporting details.
