Patrick Overmyer Hoping for More After Monster Performance
Houston tight end Patrick Overmyer is coming off a career game and will now look to keep things rolling in Week 7 against Oklahoma State. The Cougars' tight end caught eight passes for 83 yards and four touchdowns last week, plus had a rushing yard. Overmyer now has 33 catches for 400 yards and six touchdowns over six contests this season. He has at least six catches in all but two games, and has gone for at least 68 receiving yards in four straight contests. Oklahoma State is an OK matchup, as the Cowboys' defense surrenders 328.8 yards and 21.4 points per game so far this season. Fantasy owners should be confident starting Overmyer, especially after his latest performance.

Jamal Roberts a Strong Fantasy Option as Lead Back Still
Missouri running back Jamal Roberts looks to continue his big fantasy season against a ranked Ole Miss team in Week 7. Roberts has been the workhorse back for the Tigers, and that should continue with Ahmad Hardy not back in the mix yet. Roberts has 147 rushing attempts over six games, racking up 828 yards and eight touchdowns, plus catching 11 passes for 84 yards. He has 22 or more carries in each of the past five contests, and has five rushing scores over the past two weeks combined. Despite facing a ranked opponent, Roberts' outlook for Week 7 is solid, as Ole Miss has surrendered 392.4 yards and 28 points per game so far this season.

Cayden Lee Looking to Continue Big Season in Tough Week 7 Test
Missouri wide receiver Cayden Lee hopes to keep delivering big in the team's ranked matchup against Ole Miss in Week 7. Lee has caught 42 passes over the team's first six contests, going for 616 yards and five touchdowns so far. He has at least five receptions in each contest, and over 47 yards in each game too. Lee has scored in all but two games, so he's been a very good fantasy asset so far. His Week 7 matchup is still OK despite the ranked opponent, as Ole Miss allows 392.4 yards and 28 points per game, so fantasy owners should be confident in Lee delivering again this week.

CJ Carr Eyes Big Performance in Tough Week 7 Test
Notre Dame quarterback CJ Carr will look to deliver big in the team's battle with BYU in Week 7. Carr has completed 70.8% of his passes across six games so far, racking up 1,378 passing yards and 16 touchdowns, while only having one interception. He has 69 rushing yards and three touchdowns across 17 attempts as well. BYU is allowing just 254.4 yards and 13.4 points per game so far, but Notre Dame will also be the Cougars' toughest challenge to this point of the season. At this point, fantasy owners should have confidence in Carr in any matchup, but expectations for him this coming weekend should be tempered just a bit.

Blaze Berlowitz Out a Month After Surgery
Vanderbilt quarterback Blaze Berlowitz (collarbone) had surgery on a broken collarbone on Tuesday. The injury will cost him a month of play, according to head coach Clark Lea. Berlowitz started for the Commodores against Georgia when regular starting QB Jared Curtis was injured. He was 12-of-23 passing in that game, throwing for 190 yards, a touchdown and an interception. Berlowitz has 386 passing yards, a touchdown and a pick while completing 52.8% of his passes over five appearances this season. He's added 110 rushing yards and a score across 25 attempts. Curtis will start when healthy, but if he ever misses more time over the next month, it'd likely be Whit Muschamp getting the call as the next QB.

Leonard Moore has Chance to Return in Week 7
There's optimism that Notre Dame defensive back Leonard Moore (concussion) could return for the team's showdown with BYU in Week 7. Across five games so far this year, Moore has eight tackles. Moore had 79 combined tackles across his first two seasons with Notre Dame, along with seven interceptions and three forced fumbles. The Fighting Irish defense has been stout this season, but could use their star cornerback for the test against BYU. The Cougars are averaging 433.4 yards and 34.6 points per game so far. Notre Dame's defense is allowing just 214.2 yards and 11 points per contest through six games, but this will be the unit's toughest test yet.

Faizon Brandon Practices Tuesday
Tennessee quarterback Faizon Brandon (shoulder) practiced on Tuesday. He did not play in the team's win over Arkansas this past week. If he's not able to go this week, it will likely be George MacIntyre starting against Alabama. Brandon has played in five games so far, completing 60.4% of his passes for 697 yards, seven touchdowns and one interception. He's also rushed for 130 yards and three scores over 53 attempts. MacIntyre was 18-of-29 passing in last week's win - he threw for 247 yards and a touchdown, but also threw two interceptions. He didn't add anything on the ground. Whichever quarterback starts will have a tough test ahead against the Crimson Tide, who allow 336.3 yards and 20.7 points per game so far.

Ahmad Hardy Not Ready to Return Yet
Missouri running back Ahmad Hardy (leg) has not begun practicing yet, so he's at least a couple of weeks away from returning, according to head coach Eli Drinkwitz. The coach noted that the back hasn't begun a two-week ramp-up period yet. Hardy was at Missouri last year after spending his first collegiate season with Louisiani-Monroe. The RB had 1,649 rushing yards and 16 touchdowns across his 13 games with Missouri last year, while also catching six passes for 22 more yards. This year, it's been Jamal Roberts leading the backfield, carrying the ball 147 times already for 828 yards and eight touchdowns. Xai'Shaun Edwards has 124 yards and a score across 36 attempts. When Hardy is back, Edwards' role could shrink even more, while Hardy could also eat into Roberts' workload.

Khobie Martin Getting Close to Returning
Indiana running back Khobie Martin (forearm) is nearing a return, according to head coach Curt Cignetti. He played in the season opener and got injured in the first series he played in, just two plays in. Martin is in his third collegiate season and had played 16 games coming into this season. The RB didn't do much in 2024, but carried the ball 78 times for 505 yards and six touchdowns during the team's title run in 2025. With Martin out of the picture, it's been running backs Lee Beebe and Turbo Richard leading the backfield, carrying the ball 98 and 71 times, respectively. Beebe has 551 yards and four scores, while Richard has 597 yards and five touchdowns. Martin being active again could mean less work for Beebe and Richard, so that's something to keep in mind when it happens.

Michael Fasusi Close to Returning
Oklahoma offensive lineman Michael Fasusi (shoulder) is "just about ready" to play, according to head coach Brent Venables. The coach still said Fasusi had to clear a couple more hurdles, but also said he was excited to get him back soon. Oklahoma is trending up after upsetting Texas last week, and now possibly getting a top o-lineman back, the Sooners could keep surging in the second half of the season. The Sooners' offense could use more help, as they are averaging just 304.6 yards and 23 points per game so far. Fasusi played 11 games for the Sooners as a freshman, but has been limited to one contest so far this year.

Danny Scudero May Not Return in Week 7
Colorado wide receiver Danny Scudero (lower body) might not be on the field for the team's Week 7 matchup against Utah, according to head coach Deion Sanders. Scudero has appeared in two games so far, catching five passes for 24 yards and rushing twice for 14 yards. He starred at San Jose State in 2025, catching 88 passes for 1,297 yards and 10 touchdowns, so he was expected to be a big part of the Colorado offense. Without Scudero around, just three Colorado pass catchers are over 10 receptions. Wideout Joseph Williams leads the team with 454 yards and five scores across 32 receptions. Wide receiver DeAndre Moore Jr. has 18 grabs for 242 yards and a touchdown, while wideout Quannell Farrakhan Jr. has 12 catches for 148 yards. Utah will be a tough matchup for whoever plays for Colorado - the Utes' defense have allowed 13 points and 285 yards per game to this point of the season.

Isaac Wilson Starting over Julian Lewis in Week 7
Colorado head coach Deion Sanders announced that Isaac Wilson will start over Julian Lewis at quarterback in Week 7 against Utah. Wilson is a transfer from Utah, and has appeared in three games so far. He's completed 56.3% of his passes for 443 yards, two touchdowns and three interceptions, while rushing for 31 yards across 22 attempts. Lewis has played in four games, completing 64.2% of his passes for 733 yards, six touchdowns and two interceptions - he's rushed for a touchdown, but not much else on the ground. Wilson's matchup against his old team is a very tough one, as the Utes have allowed just 13 points and 285 yards per game to this point of the season.

Phillip Daniels Expected to Return for Big Week 7 Clash
Ohio State right tackle Phillip Daniels (lower body) is expected back in the lineup for the team's showdown with Indiana on Saturday. He suffered the injury against Texas, so Ohio State has been without a big piece of their o-line for the past four games. Daniels is in his third collegiate season after spending 2024 with Minnesota before coming over to Ohio State. He's logged 27 games so far and will be a welcomed addition for a stiff test against Indiana. The Hoosiers have allowed just 263.5 yards and 11.8 points per game defensively, but the Buckeyes' offense has plenty of talent, and should be even better with Daniels back out there.

Kyle Efford Medically Retires from Football
Georgia Tech linebacker Kyle Efford has medically retired from college football. He announced his decision on Tuesday, citing an accumulation of injuries over his career. Efford got in three games this season and posted 27 combined tackles, including a sack and two tackles for losses. Over his five years in college football, Efford tallied 250 combined tackles, with 10.5 going for losses. He also has 6.5 sacks, an interception and a forced fumble over his career. Even with only playing three games so far, he sits fifth on the team in tackles. Defensive lineman Tawfig Thomas and defensive back Tae Harris have 32 combined tackles each to lead the team, while defensive end Taje McCoy has 30 and linebacker E.J. Lightsey has 28.

Kamario Taylor's Week 7 Status Unclear
The status of Mississippi State quarterback Kamario Taylor (foot) is unknown heading into the Week 7 matchup with LSU, according to ESPN's Pete Thamel. Taylor is dealing with a foot injury coming out of the team's Week 6 bye. The injury limited him in the Week 5 loss to Alabama. More information on his status could become available when Wednesday's SEC availability report is released. Taylor is off to a hot start in his first year as a starter, completing over 66% of his passes for 1,450 yards, 17 touchdowns, and four interceptions. He has added 159 rushing yards and one score. Needless to say, the Bulldogs' chances to compete with the Tigers on the road will be significantly diminished if Taylor cannot go.

Nico Iamaleava Out for the Season
UCLA quarterback Nico Iamaleava (knee) is expected to miss the rest of the 2026 season after suffering a major knee injury in the Week 6 win over Oregon, according to Matt Zenitz of CBS Sports. The former Tennessee transfer led the Bruins to a 5-0 start behind 982 passing yards, four passing touchdowns, four interceptions, 144 rushing yards, and one rushing touchdown. The fourth-year quarterback has one more season of collegiate eligibility, so he could return as the team's starter in 2027. Ty Dieffenbach is likely to be the starter moving forward, though Iamleava's brother, Madden, is also on the roster. UCLA faces a hot Wisconsin team in Week 7.

Andrew Rappleyea Is a Speculative Tight End Add
Penn State tight end Andrew Rappleyea has caught 12 passes over the last two games after managing just five in his first four. Seven of those came against USC on Saturday, when he finished with 63 yards and a touchdown in the 31-23 loss. He also caught five passes for 36 yards at Northwestern a week earlier. The recent volume is a welcome change for a Penn State passing game that has been searching for reliable options, but there is a schedule complication. The Nittany Lions visit Michigan in Week 7 and are off in Week 8. Rappleyea has 17 catches for 146 yards and two touchdowns through six games, so this isn't yet a proven every-week tight end. In deeper leagues, though, the back-to-back increases in receptions make him a speculative add for managers with the bench space to carry him through the bye.

Isaiah Mizell Is a Top Stash After His Breakout
Arizona wide receiver Isaiah Mizell stepped into a larger role Saturday and made it count, catching six passes for 183 yards and two touchdowns in the 52-31 win at West Virginia. He has 19 receptions for 359 yards and four scores this season, with at least four catches in three of his last four games. The Wildcats were missing several receivers, including Giovanni Richardson (hamstring) and Tre Spivey (broken foot). Spivey is expected to miss the rest of the season, leaving an ongoing opening in the passing game. RotoBaller's latest player-news update recommends adding Mizell in all college fantasy leagues. Arizona is off in Week 7, so the immediate value is as a top stash rather than a starter. The Wildcats return against Iowa State on Oct. 24, and Mizell's involvement is worth buying into before that game arrives.

Joseph Williams Remains a Priority Waiver Target
Colorado wide receiver Joseph Williams didn't play in Week 6, but his two games before the bye were difficult to miss -- 21 receptions, 220 yards, and two touchdowns against Baylor and Texas Tech. He is at 32 catches for 454 yards and five scores across five games, despite Colorado's uneven quarterback play. Williams has caught at least five passes in three straight contests and has scored in four straight. He is the clear volume play here, with 11 and 10 receptions in his last two outings. RotoBaller includes Williams among its Week 7 wide receiver pickups and notes four consecutive games with at least 17 fantasy points. Colorado hosts Utah on Saturday. Williams is still rostered in just 29% of Yahoo leagues, and that combination of recent targets and proven production makes him a priority add.

Jaziun Patterson's Workload Makes Him a Strong Add
Michigan State running back Jaziun Patterson scored four touchdowns against Illinois, but the reason to add him goes back further than Saturday's box score. He rushed 17 times for 93 yards and three touchdowns in the 38-37 overtime loss, adding three catches for 26 yards and another score. His carry totals over the last three games are 16, 18 and 17. Before the Illinois breakout, Patterson's rushing production was less spectacular, with 54 yards against Nebraska and 62 at Wisconsin. The workload, though, has been steady since he moved into a larger role. Michigan State hosts Northwestern in Week 7, and Patterson should be a strong add for managers who need running back touches. Don't pay for a repeat of four touchdowns; the more useful takeaway is that he has handled at least 16 carries in three straight games.

Re'Shaun Sanford II Has Earned Priority Add Status
The rushing workload has shifted toward Houston running back Re'Shaun Sanford II, even with Makhi Hughes still getting meaningful opportunities. Sanford took 20 carries for 90 yards in Saturday's 35-16 win at Kansas State after logging 17 and 18 carries in the previous two games. Over that three-game stretch, Sanford has 57 touches to Hughes' 43, according to RotoBaller's Week 7 waiver breakdown. Hughes still scored against Kansas State, so this is not a backfield takeover. Sanford has 75 carries for 404 yards and two rushing touchdowns on the season, along with eight catches for 105 yards. Houston hosts Oklahoma State this Saturday. With three straight games of substantial work and only an 8% Yahoo roster rate, Sanford is a priority add. The carries are worth pursuing even if the scoring chances continue to be shared.
