Episode Details

Matthew Freedman and Zain Dhanani go game by game through the entire Week 7 slate, all 14 matchups with the Bills, Jaguars, Commanders and Chargers on bye, using spreads, implied totals, injury reports and coverage data to sort out who’s actually startable and who you’re better off benching. They open in Paris with Steelers-Saints at Stade de France, where New Orleans is playing its second straight road game and is banged up at every level of the defense. Then it’s Packers-Lions at a 53.5 total, 49ers-Falcons, Rams-Raiders and Bengals-Ravens with Lamar Jackson’s status still unsettled. The rankings come with four voices again — Zain, Freedman, Dwain and Cupps — and this week the gaps are the widest they’ve been. Dameon Pierce is RB16 for Freedman and RB51 for Dwain. Brock Purdy is QB1 for Freedman and QB7 for Zain. Tyler Shough splits them by eleven spots, Mark Andrews by eight, Xavier Worthy by twelve, and Zonovan Knight by so much that Dwain doesn’t rank him at all. Along the way: Germie Bernard against a Saints defense that blitzes 41% of the time, Aaron Rodgers in a soft spot in Paris, Jordan Love against a Detroit secondary missing four safeties, Jordan Watkins as the last 49ers receiver standing, Tyler Higbee without Davante Adams, Derrick Henry whether or not Lamar plays, Chuba Hubbard, C.J. Stroud in his third straight strong week, Bo Nix as an actual Freedman favorite for once, Aaron Jones and Jordan Mason splitting Minnesota’s backfield, Braelon Allen with Breece Hall still questionable, Carnell Tate and Denzel Boston, D’Andre Swift for the sixth time this season, and DeVonta Smith in an Eagles offense that has lost Jalen Hurts for the year. Plus the fades: Tyler Shough behind a broken line, Chris Olave in Paris, Kyle Pitts, Ashton Jeanty’s declining usage, Chase Brown, Emeka Egbuka with an undrafted rookie at quarterback, Isaiah Likely with J.J. McCarthy taking over, Cam Skattebo after a week without a carry, Jonathan Taylor against the Vikings, KC Concepcion, Jaxon Smith-Njigba against a Chiefs defense that hasn’t allowed a receiver 75 yards all year, and Patrick Mahomes. Then Chiefs-Seahawks on Sunday night, Cowboys-Eagles on Monday, and Patriots-Bears on Thursday. If you’ve got a lineup decision you can’t settle, the game is in here.
