TRAPS & TRENDS: Week 12

Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love is pressured by New Orleans Saints linebacker Demario Davis

As we saw in the Detroit game, Jordan Love's deep ball accuracy was the best that it has been all season, which is how he finally got Christian Watson more involved. In addition, Love racked up the bulk of his rushing yards on a designed run that sealed the win for Green Bay.

TRAPS & TRENDS: Week 1

QB Brock Purdy San Francisco

The Mr. Irrelevant of the 2022 draft is for real. He dissected a solid Pittsburgh Steelers defense on its home field, going 19-for-29 for 220 yards and two touchdowns with no picks. Since the 49ers prefer a balanced attack that often leans run heavy, gaudy fantasy outings from Purdy will be rare.

SHOW ME WHERE IT HURTS: Week 17 Injury Fallout

RB James Conner Arizona

Corey Clement served as the Cardinals' featured back with James Conner sidelined, rushing seven times for 32 yards. As a 28-year old practice squad call-up, Clement makes for a poor fantasy bet in Week 18 versus the stout 49ers rush defense in the event Conner gets shut down for the season finale.

RB Joe Mixon CIN

With Mixon out of action for about two-and-a-half quarters, his fantasy managers had to watch as Samaje Perine (82 total yards on 15 touches) cashed in on three Joe Burrow touchdown passes.

SHOW ME WHERE IT HURTS: Week 8 Injury Fallout

WR Cooper Kupp, LA Rams

While Kupp isn't out of the woods yet (more testing to come this week), fantasy managers can likely breathe a sigh of relief.

THINGS I THINK: Week 8

QB Jared Goff and RB D'Andre Swift Detroit Lions

Detroit is expected to have both running back D'Andre Swift and wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown back against the Dolphins.

SHOW ME WHERE IT HURTS: Week 7 Injury Fallout

QB Ryan Tannehill TEN

Players always tend to be overly optimistic when it comes to their injury outlook, so the fact Tannehill is in a boot is a red flag.
