Heading into Monday Night Football, he is ranked as the QB7 after scoring 18.34 fantasy points. Howell did so by passing for 151 yards and three touchdowns and chipping in three rushing yards. That now makes three straight games with at least 18 fantasy points for Howell. He also has scored at least 16 fantasy points in five of his six games and topped the 20-point threshold twice. On the season, he\u2019s averaging 17.73 fantasy points per game which puts him as the QB15. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This week he gets a nice matchup against the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/category\/nfl-teams\/giants\/\" target=\"_self\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">New York Giants<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The Giants played well against Josh Allen this past week but usually are a defense to target. It would be even better if Daniel Jones plays as that would help push the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/category\/nfl-teams\/washington-commanders\/\" target=\"_self\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Washington Commanders<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to possibly needing to throw more. Regardless, Howell is one of the best Week 7 streamers at quarterback and is making a case to become more than a weekly streamer.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Washington Commanders Sam Howell in the WIN <\/p>\n<p>&#8211; 14\/23<br \/>&#8211; 151 Yards<br \/>&#8211; 3 TD <br \/>&#8211; 119. 7 Rating <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/0Mpy0Y5s9S\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pic.twitter.com\/0Mpy0Y5s9S<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; NFL Rumors (@nflrums) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/nflrums\/status\/1713646764597686284?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">October 15, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><b>Honorable Mentions \u2013 Daniel Jones<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (<\/span><b>NYG<\/b> <b>&#8211; 44%<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">) <\/span><b>v WAS<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><b>Derek Carr<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (<\/span><b>NO<\/b> <b>&#8211; 25%) v JAX<\/b><\/p>\n<h3><b>Running Back \u2013 Jordan Mason (SF &#8211; 5%) @ MIN<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It feels like every week the running back recommendation comes with an asterisk because there\u2019s something to monitor. That\u2019s just the nature of the beast at the running back position, unfortunately. This week, it was Christian McCaffrey who left the game for the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/category\/nfl-teams\/49ers\/\" target=\"_self\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">San Francisco 49ers<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> with an oblique injury. It seemed minor as he returned to the game for a play but then left again for the rest of the game. It\u2019s very possible that McCaffrey will be able to play this week and that would render Jordan Mason unstartable. If McCaffrey were to miss, however, Mason would immediately jump into a great position to be one of the better Week 7 streamers. After McCaffrey went down, Mason out-snapped fellow backup Elijah Mitchell 15-7 while also getting five touches to Mitchell\u2019s two. It could have been the 49ers easing Mitchell back in his first week active since early in the season, but Mason has been effective when given a chance before. Honestly, most running backs have as this is one of the best running schemers in the NFL. The matchup against the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/category\/nfl-teams\/vikings\/\" target=\"_self\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Minnesota Vikings<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> isn\u2019t amazing but the 49ers are 6.5-point favorites in a game with a 44-point combined total so if Mason is getting double-digit touches, that makes him a great option.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Honorable Mentions \u2013 Zach Evans<\/b> <b>(LAR &#8211; 0%) v PIT,<\/b> <b>Keaontay Ingram (ARI &#8211; 20%) @ SEA<\/b><\/p>\n<h3><b>Wide Receiver \u2013 Rashee Rice (KC &#8211; 45%) v LAC<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Time and time again we see rookie wide receivers start to come on strong as the season progresses. Hopefully, Rashee Rice is the next in line among these success stories. He\u2019s coming off a game in which he caught all four of his targets for a career-high 72 yards. That now marks two straight performances of at least 10 fantasy points for Rice and three of his last four games as well. He\u2019s also seen at least four targets in all four games despite the limited playing time. Rice has only ran at least 50% of the routes just twice this season, but this past week was one of those. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That should hopefully be a good sign moving forward because his 30% TPRR is second on the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kansas City Chiefs<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to only Kadarius Toney and would rank him right in between Stefon Diggs and Ja\u2019Marr Chase on the season if he qualified. On top of that, this matchup is a great one against the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/category\/nfl-teams\/chargers\/\" target=\"_self\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Los Angeles Chargers<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. They have allowed the second-most fantasy points to wide receivers this season and the 50-point combined total is the second-highest on the week. This all should make Rice one of the better Week 7 streamers and if he starts to get more consistent playing time, could eventually push into weekly starter status.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">WR TPRR leaders (at least 69 routes run to get Kupp &amp; because nice):<\/p>\n<p>1) Tyreek: 35%<br \/>2) K Toney: 33% \ud83d\udc40<br \/>3) Kupp: 32%<br \/>T4) Diggs: 30%<br \/>T4) R Rice: 30% \ud83d\udc40<br \/>T6) Chase: 29%<br \/>T6) Aiyuk: 29%<br \/>T6) M Evans: 29%<\/p>\n<p>Let&#39;s get Toney &amp; Rice some more routes please &amp; see what happens!<\/p>\n<p>cc: Andy Reid<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; \u2734\ufe0fRob Norton\u2734\ufe0f (@norton0723) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/norton0723\/status\/1713991405826113994?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">October 16, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><b>Honorable Mentions \u2013 Michael Wilson<\/b> <b>(ARI &#8211; 23%) @<\/b> <b>SEA,<\/b> <b>Curtis Samuel (WAS &#8211; 34%) @ NYG<\/b><\/p>\n<h3><b>Tight End \u2013 Luke Musgrave (GB &#8211; 18%) @ DEN<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Picking on the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/category\/nfl-teams\/broncos\/\" target=\"_self\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Denver Broncos<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> has been good business so far in 2023. The Broncos have had a historically bad defense in all aspects. That\u2019s been true for tight ends as well as they have allowed the sixth-most fantasy points to the position this season. Luke Musgrave came into the season with a lot of sleeper appeal after an exciting preseason. He hasn\u2019t quite lived up to the hype but he has flashed at times scoring at least eight fantasy points in three of his five games so far. Musgrave has also drawn at least seven targets in two games. Christian Watson is back which limits his target upside but it should, hopefully, open up space over the middle for him to operate. Looking deeper at Musgrave\u2019s underlying metrics, he\u2019s had at least a 70% route participation in every game aside from the game he left early with a concussion. His target shares and TPRR have been good in all four games as well. He\u2019s simply a good, athletic player running a lot of routes and gets an incredible matchup this week. Add it all up and Musgrave looks like one of the better Week 7 streamers at tight end.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Honorable Mentions \u2013 Michael Mayer<\/b> <b>(LV &#8211; 5%) @ CHI, Jonnu Smith (ATL &#8211; 19%) @ TB<\/b><\/p>\n<p><em>Universal Responsible Gambling Disclaimer:<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Ages 21+.
