Fantasy Soccer Week 7 Quarterback Preview: Begins, sits, streamers, DFS performs and extra

There are three quarterbacks that my weekly Fantasy Soccer projections have been sluggish to buy-in on: Drake Maye, Daniel Jones, and Sam Darnold. All three have performed largely superior soccer, however for one purpose or one other, I’ve struggled to completely purchase into them. For one, Drake Maye, I not have any reservations in any respect. He has totally satisfied me that he’s an excellent QB already, and he will probably be inside my high 10 most weeks. This week, he checks in at QB8 within the early rankings, and even I believe that appears a little bit low. However the humorous factor about Week 7 is that even with out Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson, it’s a excellent week at QB. Due to that, Jones and Darnold are nonetheless ranked outdoors the highest 12.

The issue in projecting each Jones and Darnold is similar: passing quantity. Jones is averaging 30 move makes an attempt per recreation and has solely topped that quantity twice. Darnold is averaging simply 26.8 move makes an attempt per recreation. That could be a large downside for those who do not run loads. Darnold not operating is not any shock, however Jones has been in all places, with three video games with 5 makes an attempt or extra, and two video games with only one. Now it’s possible you’ll be questioning why I’m saying that it’s a must to throw loads if Jones and Darnold have not, however have nonetheless been good. Effectively, that is as a result of Darnold leads the NFL at 9.6 yards per move try (profession 7.1) and Jones is averaging an elite 8.3 as nicely (profession 6.6). As a rule, I do not venture QBs over eight yards per try except I imagine they’re elite passers or they’re going through a horrible protection. The defenses Jones and Darnold face this week have been two of the 4 greatest towards QBs this 12 months.. 

Let’s get to the remainder of the preview:

Week 6 QB Preview

• 9.6 — Opposing QBs have scored 9.6 FPPG towards the Texans, one of the best mark within the league.

• 54.5 — The Cowboys and Commanders over/below is ready at 54.5, which might be the very best of the younger season. I’m not certain it’s excessive sufficient.
• 24.0 — The Bears have given up the fifth-most FPPG to QBs. Spencer Rattler could possibly be in play.
• 36 — The Broncos held Justin Fields, Jalen Hurts, and Daniel Jones to a mixed 36 speeding yards in three video games. Jaxson Dart has a minimum of 50 speeding yards in every of his first three begins.
