Justin Jefferson News
Friday, October 23, 12:30 PM
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson (ankle) is once again a no-doubt fantasy starter now that he does not appear on the final injury report ahead of a game against the Indianapolis Colts. To his credit, the superstar was excellent in spite of the injury last time out, making an excellent touchdown catch in the back of the end zone and finishing with six catches for 79 yards against New Orleans. The Colts, on the other hand, dismissed general manager Chris Ballard this week amid the team's struggles, which extend to a defense that has been among the league's worst. Indianapolis pressures the quarterback at the lowest rate in the league, is allowing points nearly half the time the opponent has the ball, and ranks tied for 30th in yards per completion allowed. To be fair, Minnesota's offense has lacked firepower most of the season, though Jefferson and quarterback Kyler Murray have played only one full game together so far. Managers should plan on playing Jefferson, RotoBaller's No. 12 receiver this week, in all formats.

Bam Knight News
Saturday, October 24, 8:01 AM
Arizona Cardinals running back Bam Knight has started to generate some appeal as an intriguing waiver wire target after he handled 17 touches and averaged 5.3 yards per carry last week. Knight is officially the No. 3 option on the depth chart behind Jeremiyah Love and Tyler Allgeier, but that didn't stop him from carving out a sizable role with Love sidelined due to an ankle injury in Week 6. Love has already been ruled out for Week 7, too, leaving Knight in line for an expanded workload alongside Allgeier. Although Knight has the lower floor among the two backs, he managed to score more than twice as many fantasy points (PPR) as Allgeier last week. As a result, Knight is in the mix as an RB3/flex option in 12+ team leagues for Week 7 against the Denver Broncos. He has streaming appeal and can be an intriguing fill-in option for managers dealing with bye weeks and injuries, before he gets dropped back to waivers once Love returns.
