Every week this article will look at the best and toughest matchups for each position in fantasy football. It also will give you five players whose fantasy value is on the rise.Best QB Matchups vs. Seahawks: At this point, it looks like you can stream whichever QB is facing the Seahawks. On the year, they have given up 26.42 fantasy PPG to the position, the most in the NFL. But it isn't like a couple big games inflate that number. They have given up at least 21 fantasy points to every QB they faced, not named . Jimmy G is also coming off his two highest pa sing yard totals of the season, going for 268 and 277 in his last two starts. Jimmy G is a strong streaming option that you can grab off the waiver wire to replace or . I'd also play him over , , and . vs. Raiders: Mayfield is coming off the best game of his career, where he threw five touchdowns and scored just under 30 fantasy points. He has a nice matchup to try and build off of that going up against the Raiders, who have allowed the fourth-most fantasy PPG to QBs (22.97). But the Raiders secondary started the year off strong, but in recent weeks have given up a ton of fantasy points to QBs. Vegas has allowed 25 or more fantasy points to a QB in three straight games, with Corey Ballentine Jersey putting up 36.86 against them last week. Will Mayfield score that much? No, but he has shown to have a reliable floor scoring over 15 fantasy points in three of the last four and comes with more upside than normal this week. If you mi s out on Jimmy G, he is the next streaming QB and I would use him over the same options listed for Garoppolo.Other favorable QB Matchups: T J Hockenson T Shirts vs. LAC, vs. NO, vs. MINBest RB Matchups vs. Packers: Cook is expected to play this week, but that still must be monitored. If he sits, it will be who gets the great matchup against Green Bay. On the season, the Packers have allowed 33.47 fantasy PPG to RBs, the most in the NFL. That includes 158 yards per game and a league-high 10 touchdowns. This matchup literally could not be better and whoever starts for the Vikings is an RB1 this week. If it's Cook, he is the RB1 (top-ranked RB). vs. Raiders: The Raiders are a strong matchup for QBs, but an even better one for running backs. On the season, they have allowed the second most fantasy points to the position at 32.4 per game. That includes seven catches per game, so expect more pa s game usage for Hunt. He has a safe floor every week, but this is an opportunity for him to showcase his ceiling.Other Favorable RB Matchups: vs. DET, / vs. NYJ, vs. MIABest WR Matchups vs. Seahawks: The Seahawks are the top matchup for QBs, so it should be no surprise they are a strong matchup for receivers, as well. On the season, Seattle is allowing 60.15 fantasy PPG and 280 receiving yards per game to WRs, by far the most in the NFL. They've allowed a WR to top 20 fantasy points 10 times already in just six games. With injured, it could lead to more work for Aiyuk, who is coming off a game with six catches for 115 yards. He is a WR2 with a lot of upside for me in this matchup. / vs. Browns: The Browns have allowed 48.71 fantasy PPG to WRs this season, the second-most in the NFL. But the matchup is not the only reason to get excited. has been pa sing well this season, throwing for over 260 yards and multiple pa sing TDs in five straight games. Both Agholor and Ruggs are great field stretchers, so they both come with high upside in this matchup. Agholor is a WR3 (more on why you should be excited about him below) and Ruggs is a boom Daryl Worley Jersey -or-bust flex option.Other Favorable WR Matchups: Packers WRs vs. MIN, Bengals WRs vs. TEN, Eagles WRs vs. DALBest TE Matchups vs. Saints: Graham doesn't come with the highest of ceilings, but he has scored over eight fantasy points in three straight games. That is not much, but given the state of tight ends, it could be worse. He also has 10 red zone targets this season, including at least one in three straight games. He could find paydirt this week against the Saints who have allowed six touchdowns to tight ends this season. They've also given up 18.97 fantasy PPG to the position, the most in the NFL. Graham is a low-end Hunter Bryant Jersey TE1 this week. vs. Bengals: One bad game and people are worried about Smith. Do not forget that still attempts 10.2 pa ses per game to tight ends, the third-most in the NFL. That opportunity could lead to plenty of fantasy production as the Bengals have given up 18.59 fantasy PPG to TEs this season, the third-most in the NFL. Start Jonnu.Other Favorable TE Matchups: vs. PHI, vs. DALFastest Rising Players: : It was a little over a week ago I had the thought "so, Antonio Brown is like done, done?" and now he is the top rising player in fantasy football. Brown will be out there for the Bucs as soon as Week 9. He will join a group with , Mike and , so he will have to earn his work. Do not expect the Brown of old, but if he is any where close that is a player that will be fantasy relevant. Don't forget he had a six year stretch where he was good for over 100 catches, 1,200 yards and eight or more touchdowns. : Johnson returned in Week 7 and saw a team-high 15 targets. Johnson has battled injuries all year, but in the three games he finished, he saw double-digit targets in each. He is clearly looking like the top pa s catching option for the Steelers. His health will need to be monitored weekly, as he is now dealing with a toe injury, but from now on if he is active, he should be started. : Aiyuk is coming off one of his best games in the NFL where he caught six balls for 115 yards en route to scoring 17.5 fantasy points. His teammate, , left with a hamstring injury and has already been ruled out for Week 8, with his Week 9 also being in question. His absence should lead to more targets for Aiyuk and it could not come at a better time for the rookie, as he faces the Seahawks this week who have allowed the most fantasy points and yards to wideouts this season. : Fournette was back in Week 7 and was the more productive of the Bucs backs. He finished with nearly 16 fantasy points to ' 11. Jones had two more carries, 13 to 11, but Fournette was the pa s-catching specialist for the Bucs, racking up six catches on seven targets. He will continue to man this role, replacing moving forward. That role is extremely valuable playing with Brady. Remember all the dump offs to James White in New England? Well, Brady brought that tendency with him to Tampa Bay, averaging 9.1 pa ses per game to RBs, the second-most in the NFL. : suffered a torn ACL last week and is done for the season. In his absence, Higgins stepped up, leading the Browns with six catches for 110 yards. Higgins hasn' Alim McNeill Jersey t been shy, telling reporters this week that he will be in the starting lineup opposite of moving forward. The Browns are still a run-first team, so do not expect Odell type production, but Higgins should be added if he hasn't been already. He has the opportunity
