Special Guest

Today I am welcoming a close friend of mine and fellow blogger Jacob Milligan for an interview. Please check out his sports blog here. Jacob’s blogs contain coverage of all sports from Baseball to Golf. Through his blog that he updates very frequently he averages around 1000 views per post. A frequent co-writer with him Ron Gutterman got a job as an intern of Lakers Nation because of his co-writes with Jacob. For a little more credibility check out their twitter account Lakers Nation Twitter which has over 400,000 followers. I grew up with Jacob and we were actually so close we were voted dynamic duo of our high school our senior year and this is why I am able to co-write with him. Jacob is currently in my fantasy league and at the end of the blog I will include a photo of the trophy we are competing to prove we take fantasy football way too seriously.

Dude

Question: Who is Your Main Dude for Week 7?

Cincinnati Bengals RB, Joe Mixon: “Entering week 7, no defense looks less likely to make a quick change than the Kansas City Chiefs. I really like the match up for Bengals running back, Joe Mixon. After missing week 3 and 4 due to injury, Mixon has had back to back solid weeks. He has had touchdowns both weeks and looks healthy again.” 

Ross’s thoughts: I think this is a great match up entering week 7 as he is playing a very week defense and I believe Mixon can capitalize huge off of his recent success. He gets my stamp of approval as a must start for week 7.

Question: With All of These Byes Week 7 Who is a Good Dude to Stream?

Cincinnati Bengals WR, Tyler Boyd: “Tyler Boyd from the Bengals is another guy to plug into your starting lineup if you have a wide receiver on bye. Behind A.J. Green, Boyd has stepped up and taken the wide receiver 2 spot for the Bengals this year. Just like Joe Mixon, Boyd always faces a very good match up against a weak, Chief secondary. The Bengals are playing very well this season and Boyd has been a huge part of their success so far.“

Ross’s thoughts: I began to be hesitant to agree with Jacob on this pick, but I have been convinced that Tyler Boyd is a dude. The Chiefs defense has looked awful all season and I believe Tyler Boyd will score a touchdown against them allowing him to be a great streamer for week 7.

Dud

Question: Who is a Dud With a Lot of Hype Around Him for Week 7?

Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR, Mike Evans: “Mike Evans always seems to have too much hype surrounding him entering the year, but he always goes top 2 or 3 rounds. Jameis Winston and Evans have never really developed a connection the past two seasons. Evans played well the first three games while Winston was suspended, with a touchdown and over 80 yards receiving in each game. The two games Evans has played with Winston he has not reached 60 yards receiving. Evans has a lot of potential, but his quarterback continues to hold him back.“

Ross’s thought: I am not going to agree with Jacob on this one as I see Mike Evans deserves a spot in lineups. It is true that Evans connection with Jameis Winston has been week, but Mike Evans is way too talented to bench. Do not be the fool benching Mike Evans and having Evans outscore all of your starters.

Question: Who is a Dud you Should Finally Just Rid of Off of Your Roster?

Arizona Cardinals WR, Larry Fitzgerald: “Larry Fitzgerald is a first ballot Hall of Famer and one of the best wide receivers of this generation but father time has catch up to him and father time is undefeated. Fitzgerald is also working with a rookie quarterback, Josh Rosen, which hurts his productivity. Fitzgerald has had a great career, but his last season is not one to remember for him.”

Ross’s thoughts: Anyone who does not exceed 40 yards more than once in 6 games should be dropped immediately. On top of the lack of yardage he is yet to record a TD this year. I know he is every ones beloved veteran, but his time has come. Drop Larry Fitzgerald.
