We live it an advanced technological age with cameras in our phones and the world at our command. Yet, we still can’t get a special referee up in a freakin’ booth at every game to watch over bad calls and reverse them as quickly as we see them unfold in our living rooms? I’m not a Lions fan, but I’m pissed that the league continues to be plagued by poor officiating. The NFL generates billions of dollars. Can’t we hire more refs? Can’t we use our technology better? Can’t we get it right for a couple dollars more?

I guess not. Here are 10 Things I Hate About Fantasy Football Week 7.
1. The Chiefs Can’t Or Won’t Run the Football – The more running backs available for the Chiefs, the less effective the run game seems to become. Kansas City rushed just 11 times in Sunday’s loss and it’s safe to say that LeSean McCoy is their best option. The downturn in the run game seems to be coinciding with back to back losses for the Chiefs. For better or worse, it’s time to get McCoy the ball and stop being so predictable on offense.
2. Jared Goff Is A Roller Coaster – One week it’s 500 yards. Another week he can’t break 100! What the hell is going on with Jared Goff and Sean McVay? How did a team with three great WR and no Todd Gurley suddenly abandon their aggressive, downfield pass attack? They’ll bounce back against the Falcons this week regardless, but the Rams have put themselves behind the 8-ball. Maybe the San Francisco defense really is this good. Or maybe the Rams haven’t been the same since Todd Gurley became human.
3. Bruce Arians Can’t Save Jameis Winston – I thought if anyone could save Winston, it would be Arians. I was wrong. The wheels came off in London for Winston, with 5 more picks and another L. He just can’t seem to change his reckless ways. Sure, the O-Line isn’t helping, but he has the weapons and the tutelage to be better. It seems like he’s just a lost cause.
4. The Book May Be Out On Gardner Minshew – The Saints defense is no joke, and I fear they’ve now given the league a blueprint to slow down Gardner Minshew. The Jags offense looked completely befuddled Sunday. The Bengals should be a good matchup for him next week, but after that, it may be time to sell high. There are some tougher teams coming up on their schedule and still a bye week remaining.
5. Keenan Allen Has Disappeared – Since Melvin Gordon returned, here are Keenan Allen’s game totals: 5/48, 4/18. 2/33…and ZERO TD’s! What the hell is going on with the Chargers? Allen is a definite buy low right now, but man alive this trend is scary.
6. Aaron Rodgers Hates His Teammates – Dropped passes, bad routes, slips and falls…to watch the disdain on the face of Aaron Rodgers Monday night was entertaining to say the least. It seems like he basically hates his supporting cast of characters and that includes him being mad at Davante Adams for being hurt and leaving him alone on the field. Rodgers has zero faith in his weapons. None. Therefore, their fantasy upside will be limited ROS.
7. Amari Cooper Is Hurt – Just when I thought he had become safe, Amari Cooper is hurt. The Cowboys look lost right now and losing Cooper for one of the biggest regular-season games of the year against the Eagles is awful timing. Michael Gallup didn’t exactly fill the void in his absence, dropping balls everywhere. Dallas is in deep doo-doo if they suffer a fourth consecutive loss this week.
8. Will Dissly Is Done For The Year – Tight end sucks this year. There I said it. Even the top guys haven’t really been all that inspiring. They’ve had moments, but not exactly week winning ones. Then, Will Dissly shows up on the waiver wire and is a nice little productive TE. Until Sunday, when his Achilles gave way. Now, it’s back to the waiver wire. Anybody have Ricky Seals-Jones phone number???
9. Tyler Boyd Is Getting Too Much Attention – So may targets. Double-digit targets all but one week running up to last Sunday. Then, silence. Auden Tate got plenty of looks and it seems like the league now understands when you take away Boyd, there really isn’t much left on the Bengals. The Jags will do the same this weekend.
10. Devin Singletary Is A Tease – 10 carries for 127 yards and a TD is a great game, but that’s not a game total. That’s the season total for Devin Singletary. He’s teased us with some huge runs, then he’s been on the shelf ever since. Will he be healthy this week? Will it matter? Will Frank Gore get all the carries anyway? The breakout was right there. I saw it. Come back. Please. I beg you. Come back…
