:WHICH SAINTS WR WILL HAVE THE BIGGEST BOOST IN PRODUCTION WITH TED GINN ON INJURED RERSERVE?The Saints have been high on Tre'Quan Smith since the preseason. He had 16 receptions (three for 20 yards or more) this summer Cameron Jordan Jersey Salute to Service , and with Ginn sidelined in Week 5 he caught three passes for 111 yards and added two TDs. His two scores went for 62 and 35 yards, showing he's a big play receiver. Although he was second on the team in routes run, in Week 5 he only received three targets.Cameron Meredith should play most of his snaps from the slot. He might receive more targets and catch more passes than Smith, but Smith has the bigger upside. Saints receivers have a tough matchup against a good Ravens defense this week, so don't become alarmed if neither player puts up big numbers. Both receivers should see an uptick in production but Smith has better potential for the rest of the season.WHICH UNDER-THE-RADAR WR HAS THE BEST CHANCE FOR A BIG GAME IN WEEK 7?Bears WR Allen Robinson has been dealing with a groin injury this week. He may not play and if he does, he might be limited. Robinson's injury could make Taylor Gabriel Chicago's most targeted receiver this week. Gabriel hasn't dropped a pass since Week 3 and has two straight games with 100 receiving yards or more. The Patriots defense has given up the third most TDs to wide receivers with nine this season. Gabriel leads Bears WRs with four targets within the 10-yard line, so should have a good opportunity to score a TD in Week7.Jets WR Jermaine Kearse could be in line for another double-digit target week vs. the Vikings. With Quincy Enunwa out, Kearse should play a significant portion of his snaps from the slot, a weakness for the Vikings defense.WHICH UNDER-THE-RADAR RB HAS THE BEST CHANCE FOR A BIG GAME THIS WEEK?Peyton Barber may eventually lose his starting job to rookie RB Ronald Jones but it's not likely to happen right now. Barber's coming off his best performance of the season, having rushed the ball 13 times for 82 yards (that's 6.31 yards per carry). He also added four receptions for 24 yards and a TD. He has the potential to build upon that with a choice matchup against the Browns. They've given up 4.67 yards per carry and the second-most rushing TDs to the position this season.Kerryon Johnson could also have a larger role out of the Lions backfield this week if Theo Riddick is forced to miss time due to his knee injury. Johnson has averaged 5.98 yards per carry in his last four games and could be featured in the Lions passing game if Riddick is out.WHICH UNDER-THE-RADAR TE COULD BREAK OUT?Fantasy football players have been waiting a long time for Austin Hooper to emerge as a reliable fantasy TE. Well, it looks like it's finally happening. Hooper has caught nine passes in each of the last two weeks and has over 70 receiving yards in each of the past two outings as well. With Mohamed Sanu and Calvin Ridley battling injuries and questionable to play on Monday night Michael Thomas Jersey Salute to Service , Hooper should see double-digit targets for a third straight game.CAN YOU RECOMMEND A GOOD BUY LOW TARGET AMONG WRS?Browns WR Jarvis Landry averaged just under seven catches per game through Week 3. He's maintained an average of 11 targets per game, but since Week 3 his has just over four catches per game.Now he gets a very favorable schedule over the next four weeks, facing the Buccaneers, Steelers, Chiefs and Falcons. All four of those teams are top 6 in most yards per game yielded to slot receivers. If you own Landry, use him with confidence starting this week. If you don't, his two catch for 11-yard Week 6 performance might allow you to trade for him at a discount.IF DALVIN COOK IS ACTIVE FOR WEEK 7 SHOULD HE BE IN STARTING LINEUPS?Cook's status (hamstring) needs to be closely monitored as game time approaches but even if he's active, if you have an alternate option, you should use it. Leading up to Week 6, Cook's practice status was as both a limited and full participant, he was also questionable Authentic Craig Robertson Jersey , then likely to play and finally inactive. With the constant uncertainty surrounding his availability and the number of snaps he'll play if active, try to minimize your risk and slip another RB into your lineup if possible.IS IT TOO LATE TO TRY TO TRADE STEELERS RB JAMES CONNER?No. It never hurts to put a player with Conner's skill set on the trading block and allow offers to come your way. The potential impending arrival of Le'Veon Bell could drive down Conner's fantasy trade appeal, but if and when Bell reports, he's probably not going to be able to take on a full workload for a couple of weeks.If Bell reports and is activated for Week 8 he'd probably suit up, but it might take until Week 10 before he can possibly work as a bell cow back again. It could even still be a time share. Don't be too surprised if Conner retains a significant role in the Steelers offense.Gauge his value if you have another feasible option at RB that you can slide into your weekly lineup. If you don't, continue to use Conner until he's no longer a surefire starter. Accountability has become a common theme in the Philadelphia Eagles' locker room.The team relied on strong brotherhood and camaraderie to overcome a lot of adversity and capture the franchise's first Super Bowl title last season. Now, players are questioning whether their teammates have enough drive and desire.Last week, center Jason Kelce said "there was a much greater level of accountability from a cohesive standpoint" in 2017.On Tuesday, safety Malcolm Jenkins said "the demeanor of the team really bothered me" in a 48-7 loss to the Saints.Coach Doug Pederson and quarterback Carson Wentz responded to Jenkins' comments in different ways Wednesday."I talk about ownership quite a bit, and I think some of his comments are directed toward him," Pederson said of Jenkins. "He'll own that. And I think it kind of sends a message a little bit to everybody. We're all held to a higher standard Alex Okafor Jersey , and it starts with me. I lean on our leadership of this football team quite a bit and ask that if they see something, to respond. I don't think he is addressing it to one particular person. I think it's a whole, it's a group, and we all need to kind of step our game up."After Jenkins got beaten by Alvin Kamara for a 37-yard touchdown catch on fourth-and-7 in the fourth quarter and the Saints already leading by 31 points, Jenkins raised two middle fingers to his former head coach Sean Payton. Then he slammed his helmet to the turf on the sideline.Wentz was visibly frustrated after throwing an interception earlier in the game and punched the air as he walked toward the bench."We all have a ton of respect for his opinion and how he sees things, and we all see things a little differently," Wentz said of Jenkins. "What I said after the game is that we won't be a team that quits. We won't be a team that lays down. There's something that we can see on film from how we handled our body language and different things like that, myself included, that's uncharacteristic of who we are. It's really up to the leaders, Malcolm, myself Larry Warford Jersey Salute to Service , other leaders to hold everyone accountable and keep plugging along."The Eagles were a close-knit group last season on their way to a 13-3 record. Players stood up for each other, supported one another and it was evident in how they overcame a slew of injuries to key starters. Wentz was having an MVP-caliber season when he tore two knee ligaments in Week 14. But Nick Foles stepped in and ended up becoming the Super Bowl MVP after leading Philadelphia past Tom Brady and the Patriots, 41-33.That seems far longer than only nine months ago. The Eagles (4-6) have lost two in a row and will try to snap a three-game home losing streak when they host the New York Giants (3-7) on Sunday."They're disappointed. We're all disappointed. The season has not gone the way we anticipated coming out of training camp," Pederson said. "So we continue to fight every single day in practice. ... This is one of the things I love about this football team, there isn't a ton of finger pointing. You might take Malcolm's comments as finger pointing or Kelce's; it's not. They're talking about themselves, too, right? They hold themselves accountable. I hold myself accountable, and then collectively we can do that as a group." Custom Tampa Bay Buccaneers Jerseys
