New York Jets running back Breece Hall (quad) is not expected to play in Sunday's Week 7 contest against the Miami Dolphins, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com. Hall had been making progress in his recovery, but he was still listed as questionable after logging back-to-back limited practices. The 25-year-old has been sidelined since the […]

Start 'Em, Sit 'Em for Week 7. This week, we've got four teams on bye (Bills, Jaguars, Chargers, and Commanders). If you're in need of some advice for this week to get in the win column, you're in the right spot. Week 6 was an interesting week. We hit on our starts but mostly whiffed […]

Our RotoBaller analysts are here every week with potential sleepers and busts ahead of the remaining Week 7 games. We do this every week! The goal is to give you the confidence you need […]

Week 7 in the NFL is upon us. Fantasy seasons are entering make-or-break mode. It is still possible to recover from one-win starts, and it is still possible to fall as an undefeated team. However, the margin for error will quickly fade in the coming weeks. Now that we are squarely into bye weeks, the […]

Week 7 is here, folks! We saw a battle between two of the NFL's biggest rising stars on Thursday Night Football, as Caleb Williams and Drake Maye both had outstanding performances. It was Williams who came out on top in the end, moving the Bears to a 5-2 record. In this weekly series, I'll highlight […]

Streaming tight ends is simply a part of the game for many fantasy football managers. Aside from a very select handful of players, the position is rife with inconsistency and simply bad fantasy scoring. You can get an edge if you look to matchups to give you an idea of which players might be good […]

Quarterback is the highest-scoring position in fantasy football, yet it's also not terribly difficult to have success streaming the position. It's very difficult to predict which quarterbacks will finish in the top 10 at their position ahead of time due to a variety of factors. Looking at strength of schedule is a great way to […]

In a lot of my leagues, things have started to balance out. There are still top teams, but in the last two weeks, a lot of teams that started slowly picked up wins. There are a whole lot of 3-3 teams at the moment. That means that even if you got off to a slow […]

For anyone who isn't familiar, each week we give you our recommended Survivor Pool picks to target and also avoid for 2026 Survivor leagues.

We have reached Week 7 of the 2026 NFL season, and the early-season noise has started to settle into something more reliable, which is exactly why spotting the boom-or-bust options matters more than it did a month ago. Six weeks of usage, target share, and actual game scripts give you a clearer picture of who […]

We have officially reached the midpoint of the 2026 fantasy football regular season, and the wide receiver market is growing thin. Bye weeks for four teams, along with injuries to key receivers across the league, will force fantasy managers to dig deep once again. Last week, we had some great Start Em’ predictions, with Jalen […]

Welcome to Week 7 of our fantasy football breakout candidate piece for the 2026 NFL season. Each week, we'll point you to emerging players who aren't just top pickups but could see their fantasy values surge by the end of the weekend. All players listed in this article are rostered in less than 50% of […]

Six slates are cemented into the timeline as we near the fantasy football regular season's halfway mark, so let's chop it up looking at Week 7 and beyond with our updated rest-of-season rankings sheet. The bye weeks are smacking us across the face, as are the injuries and underwhelming performances, which means folks are clinging […]

Week 7 of the NFL season brings another difficult set of lineup decisions, especially with four teams on bye and several offenses struggling to find consistency. This week, several matchups have particularly low projected point totals, including Browns-Titans (37.5), Dolphins-Jets (39.5), Colts-Vikings (41.5), and Chiefs-Seahawks (42.5). Those aren't exactly the games we want to target. […]

Hi again, RotoBallers. Hard to believe, but most NFL teams have already played through a third of their schedules. Now that Week 7 is upon us, it’s time for another look at Warning Signals that might save us from players who could spoil our upcoming fantasy football matchups. Warning Signals come in many forms and […]

Cincinnati Bengals tight end Mike Gesicki offers upside at the position for fantasy managers in a pinch ahead of the team's road divisional clash with the Baltimore Ravens. Gesicki entered Cincinnati's Week 6 bye with a touchdown in every game he'd recorded a target. On the downside for prospective owners, the ninth-year pro hasn't commanded […]

Usage drives this Week 7 board. David Montgomery is out again, Ollie Gordon II returns from the Miami Dolphins' bye with rushing touchdowns in three consecutive games, and the Denver Broncos have given J.K. Dobbins 35 carries over their last two games. Volume can lie. Tony Pollard got a season-high 19 carries in Week 6 […]

We are only in October, but multiple key players' seasons have already ended. Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart and Dolphins running back De'Von Achane both suffered season-ending knee injuries in September. Sadly, Commanders receiver Terry McLaurin joined them on Monday with a torn patellar tendon. Many other players have sustained less significant injuries, though. Keep these […]

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Pat Freiermuth is a streamable asset ahead of Sunday's outing with the New Orleans Saints in Paris, France. Freiermuth saw a slight dip in opportunity in last weekend's overtime win over the Buccaneers, falling below four targets for the first time all season. The timing was unfortunate for fantasy managers who […]

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson remains in the flex conversation for Sunday's meeting with the visiting Cleveland Browns and offers a solid floor for fantasy managers in need of stability. Robinson has cleared only 70% of Tennessee's snaps in two games this season, though he's stayed steadily involved in the team's attack, commanding five […]

Houston Texans wide receiver Jaylin Noel is riding a hot streak ahead of Sunday's home meeting with the New York Giants and is worth a look on the waiver wire for fantasy managers in need of a high-upside spark. Noel doesn't meet the requirements of a high-volume, plug-and-play fantasy receiver, though he has some interesting […]

The 2026 NFL season rolls on to Week 7, so it's time to continue my weekly bold predictions column. This is where I'm trying to predict which players will hit their ceilings this week. I'll focus on players who you're likely on the fence with in start-and-sit decisions. Last week, I had only one good […]

Kansas City Chiefs running back Emmett Johnson hasn't been involved enough to garner standalone value in his rookie season. However, he's a worthy bench stash as we approach the halfway mark of the campaign. Johnson isn't the fastest or most agile back, but he runs hard and had a nice role in the receiving game […]
