Garbage time fantasy report: Week 7's garbage timers

Week 7 offered the potential for a third consecutive compelling garbage-time week thanks to the Rams, Jaguars, Bears, Vikings, Jets, Cowboys, Chargers, Seahawks, and Patriots all building big leagues. Instead, most of their defenses never relented.

Quarterbacks

The previous two weeks, Deshaun Watson and Ryan Fitzpatrick threw four and three garbage-time touchdowns, respectively. This week, there were only three garbage scores in total.

By their nature, garbage scores are easy, but Joe Flacco’s was made much more difficult by the Ravens’ accumulation of injuries. With Mike Wallace and Michael Campanero both injured in a week in which the team was already missing Jeremy Maclin, Breshad Perriman, and Chris Matthews, Chris Moore was practically the last Raven standing when he caught his meaningless touchdown as time expired. Neither Flacco nor Moore has any fantasy relevance, but Javorius Allen could see a short-term bump if he’s forced to play wide receiver for a team without enough actual-receiver bodies.
