Kendrick Bourne News
Saturday, October 24, 2:08 AM
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Kendrick Bourne seems to be one of the winners in the aftermath of Marvin Harrison Jr.'s trade to the Texans. Bourne is still operating as a slot receiver almost exclusively in three-WR sets, but for two weeks in a row he has seen the second-most targets on the team. Arizona was held to 218 passing yards last week, and in Week 7, the Broncos represent another challenge to the Cardinals' ability to move the ball through the air. Denver has limited opponents to 230 passing yards per game and is allowing the eighth-fewest fantasy points per game to wide receivers. However, Bourne might find success given his matchup against Broncos slot corner Ja'Quan McMillian. McMillian has allowed the ninth-most receiving yards and 12th-most yards after the catch when in slot coverage. Bourne projects as a WR3/4 and is an interesting flex candidate given his matchup and recent body of work.

Woody Marks News
Saturday, October 24, 3:08 AM
Houston Texans running back Woody Marks is in a situation that sets him up to be very busy in his Week 7 matchup with the Giants, making him a solid option for fantasy football lineups. Marks will need to carry most of the workload in the backfield for Houston with David Montgomery (groin) and Jawhar Jordan (quad) both ruled out. Jordan stepped in with Montgomery out last week and had a good game in London, but this week, the team will be even more reliant on Marks. In each of the last two games, Marks has exactly 15 carries. He finished with 62 rushing yards against the Titans and 56 rushing yards against the Jaguars, but this week, he's in a more favorable matchup against the Giants, who have allowed six running back touchdowns in six games and have allowed at least 99 rushing yards to running backs in each of the last three weeks. With plenty of work in a favorable spot, Marks is the No. 14 RB in RotoBaller's rankings for this week, making him a strong RB2 in standard-sized leagues and a good starting option in almost all formats.
