Week 7 Data Dump: Patrick Mahomes returns to fantasy QB1 status + BIG stats on George Pickens, DK Metcalf & Drake London
About this episode
Matt Harmon is joined by the great Ray Garvin (checking in from sunny Florida0 for your weekly Wednesday Data Dump. Together, they break down 10 key stats to help you prepare for Week 7.
They start off with in-depth look at the Kansas City Chiefs offense, where Patrick Mahomes has reclaimed the QB1 spot in fantasy thanks to improved downfield passing thanks to Xavier Worthy and the impending return of Rashee Rice. Matt and Ray discuss whether Mahomes’ resurgence and the Chiefs’ evolving receiver situation represent a quiet turning point for fantasy managers and what expectations should be for Rice fresh off a suspension.
Next, the conversation turns to breakout wide receivers, with George Pickens thriving as Dallas Cowboys’ WR2-turned-WR1 and the impact on his production when CeeDee Lamb returns. Drake London’s massive target share and fantasy explosion for the Atlanta Falcons are also highlighted, sparking debate over whether his triple crown potential and slot usage will continue in a run-heavy offense feasting on an explosive Bijan Robinson season.
The guys also dive into the rookie running back landscape, debating whether New York Giants’ Cam Skattebo is the top rookie RB, how his bruising style is powering fantasy lineups, and who else (maybe Cleveland Browns’ Quinshon Judkins?) can challenge for the title given strong upcoming matchups. They also talk about Los Angeles Chargers rookie tight end Oronde Gadsden, New Orleans Saints WR Chris Olave and whether it's time to give up on Cleveland Browns WR Jerry Jeudy.
Closing out the show, Matt & Ray dive into the 5 most cut players from Guillotine League rosters in Week 6.
