Each week, our Yahoo fantasy soccer crew will reveal their boldest predictions for the motion forward. It’s time to get daring for Week 7!

Hasty turns into newest 49ers RB to emerge

Scott Pianowski: Kyle Shanahan thinks he can take the Dealer Joe’s grocery clerk and make him right into a 1,000-yard rusher. And the most recent unknown Niners again is JaMycal Hasty, contemporary off the observe squad. Hasty was the group’s nearer within the important win over the Rams final week, and we gained’t see Raheem Mostert for some time. Jerick McKinnon will get work, in fact, however there’s nothing “bell cow” about him.

Don’t get hung up on model names; the Patriots protection is simply common this yr. Hasty ought to see double-digit touches this week, and is an inexpensive begin from a messy backfield board. I’ll rank him in lower-RB2 or higher-flex territory. (Hasty is modestly rostered in 15 p.c of Yahoo leagues. Anybody in a medium or deep league ought to contemplate a transfer, even when it’s merely for depth.)

Patrick hits century mark once more

Matt Harmon: Tim Patrick goes for 120-plus yards and scores a landing. It seems Patrick goes to seek out his technique to being a random waiver-wire add for receiver-needy groups nearly each season. He’s clung onto this Broncos roster for a while now and infrequently pops. The 6-foot-Four wideout has produced in bunches for three-straight years in Denver. It’s taking place once more right here in 2020. On the season, Patrick leads the group with a 27 p.c share of the air yards and has a 16.three common depth of goal. In Drew Lock’s first recreation again, Patrick ran a route on 25 of his 26 dropbacks, resulting in the receiver’s second straight 100-yard recreation. He’s a full-time participant and given his deep recreation function, he’s an ideal match with Lock who’s throwing 20-plus yard passes on 27 p.c of his throws (a league-high).

Mainly, you’re getting a barely discounted model of what the Broncos needed out of Courtland Sutton. You most likely need to contemplate him at flex each week.

Extra

Kyle Allen takes benefit of nice matchup

Liz Loza: Kyle Allen goes to out-produce Jared Goff in Week 7. The Bears protection is unrelenting whereas the Cowboys’ is, effectively, not that. I’m not going to attempt to persuade you that Allen is a world-beater. You may make dangerous selections together with the previous Carolina QB and hearth up his 2019 tape. However what you possibly can’t do is deny that he’s the starter in a well-recognized system with an exploitable matchup. In Week 6, undeterred by an early deficit and a key turnover (that’s a part of the Kyle Allen expertise), the 24-year previous handed for 280 yards and a pair of TDs, closing out the week as fantasy’s QB16. This Sunday, he’ll face a Dallas protection that’s allowed 14 passing scores (third-most) and compelled only one INT. A QB1 FF end shouldn’t be out of the query.

MVS has week-winning upside

Dalton Del Don: Marquez Valdes-Scantling has his faults, however he’s in a sneaky spot to complete as a top-25 fantasy WR in Week 7 and is an intriguing increase (and admittedly bust) DFS choose at $16. MVS ranked top-10 in air yards final week regardless of Davante Adams’ return, and Sunday’s matchup has the best over/below (56.5 factors) of the week that includes two offenses ranked top-six in yards per play and two defenses ranked bottom-six in DVOA. With Bradley Roby shadowing Adams (and Robert Tonyan banged up) in a high-scoring recreation, MVS ought to be taking a look at a possibility for a giant Week 7.

Time to belief J.D. McKissic?

Andy Behrens: Let’s be sincere right here: It’s [expletive] *insane* that I’m nonetheless invited to contribute to this submit, week after week. To date, I’ve predicted big video games from fantasy luminaries comparable to Andy Dalton, Eric Ebron, Carson Wentz and Kenyan Drake. Each single certainly one of them face-planted spectacularly. I ought to be relegated to some lesser fantasy function. No matter else you are taking away from this piece, reader, please make sure you ignore what I’m about to say. Right here goes…

J.D. McKissic goes to complete as a decent RB2 in opposition to the Cowboys’ depressing protection this week. He’s performed a minimum of 50 p.c of Washington’s offensive snaps over his final 4 video games, catching 22 passes throughout that stretch. He’s been a sneaky-good play in any form of PPR format. McKissic has an honest shot to lastly discover the top zone this week in opposition to Dallas’ Huge-12-quality D.

However, once more: Don’t hearken to me.
