If you've got the Josh Allen/Lamar Jackson bye week blues, there are some names you can use to replace them in 2QB/Superflex leagues. Dillon Gabriel has an elite matchup against Miami, which has allowed the second-highest passer rating and the second-most FPPG to QBs. Just keep in mind that Gabriel's 4.8 YPA so far is abysmal. If he struggles in this matchup, I wouldn't be shocked to see Shedeur Sanders finally make his debut.

Despite losing Garrett Wilson, Justin Fields is still firmly startable. He makes fantasy scores happen with his legs, and Carolina's defense ranks dead last in pressure rate this season (Fields has taken 15 sacks in the last two games). Spencer Rattler has only one finish inside the top 20 this season, but he has a prime matchup against the Bears, who have allowed the second-most yards per play and the fourth-most FPPG to QBs.

As much as I don't want to, Jaxson Dart is a sit for me this week. The Broncos lead the league in sacks and pressure rate, and have only allowed 46 total QB rushing yards this season ... I'm also passing on Jacoby Brissett against Green Bay's pass rush. Marvin Harrison Jr. is likely out, and Zay Jones and Michael Wilson are nursing injuries as well.

My RotoBaller buddy Dan Palyo and I have already been in deep discussions surrounding the viability of Breece Hall this week. Carolina has beefed up its run defense IMMENSELY, but I'm still drinking the Hall Kool-Aid. He had 22 touches on a 74% snap share last week (both season highs) and has fully absorbed the role of Braelon Allen. Volume reigns supreme for me here.

Kimani Vidal immediately claimed the RB1 throne for the Chargers, logging a 68% snap share and out-touching Hassan Haskins 21-7. The matchup is worse against the Colts, but he's an electric player with RB2/flex upside. Continue riding the Cam Skattebo train despite the tough matchup. He has 69 (nice) touches over the past three weeks.

Rico Dowdle remains startable despite the impending return of Chuba Hubbard. Carolina has transformed itself into a completely run-first team. I imagine it stabilizes to more of a 50-50 split soon, but Dowdle should still lead the duo against the Jets this week. Hubbard is still a sit.

Isiah Pacheco is tentatively startable this week after logging a season-high in both touches and snap share last week. The Chiefs offense has an implied total of 28.5. TreVeyon Henderson isn't happening yet despite the frustration of many fantasy owners. He's struggling in pass pro, and Rhamondre Stevenson outsnapped him by a great deal in Week 2. Start Stevenson against the Titans, who have allowed the second-most FPPG to RBs.

The Bam Knight/Michael Carter backfield is a mess right now. It looks like Knight will get the early work and Carter the passing downs, but don't start either unless you're desperate. Woody Marks is also a sit. It looked like he was taking over the Houston backfield, but then his touch share plummeted in the last game. Seattle has allowed the second-fewest rushing yards this season.

PSA -- you're playing Rashee Rice. You've been holding him this long. Even if he's on a snap count (which I don't think he will be), he's the immediate WR1 in a red-hot Chiefs offense that is playing one of the worst secondaries in football. I currently have Rice ranked WR10, with upside for better.

Brian Thomas Jr. seems to be approaching his rightful place as a WR1. Over the past two weeks, he has 170 receiving yards on 16 targets and 2.36 yards per route run. In the same game, Travis Hunter had a 78% snap share and 86% route participation share. He's startable again. Just be ready to assume the floor risk.

Jameson Williams is one of the biggest "should I/shouldn't I" decisions this week. The DET/TB game is mouthwatering for fantasy, but TB's coverage scheme hurts Williams the most. Unless you have injury/bye problems, Williams belongs back on the bench. This Bears defense is one of the best possible matchups for Rashid Shaheed to break one. He's startable even with his QB's low aDOT.

The Chargers have allowed the third-fewest FPPG to WRs, but Michael Pittman Jr. still has a solid target floor and would see his ceiling rise as well if Josh Downs and/or Ashton Dulin were to sit. Lil'Jordan Humphrey actually led the Giants in targets last week with eight, but you'd have to be in total desperation to start him.

Jordan Whittington works as a desperation flex as long as Puka Nacua sits (which looks likely). He had a 93% snap share after Nacua went down in Week 6. Atlanta has allowed 137 passing YPG (by far the lowest in the league). With George Kittle set to return for San Francisco, it looks like Kendrick Bourne's dud game is coming.

Michael Mayer played 92% of snaps in Week 6 and parlayed seven targets in a 5-50-1 line. He's a TE1 option this week if Brock Bowers misses again (which looks likely) ... Harold Fannin Jr. is another solid TE streamer. David Njoku looks likely to miss Week 7, and Dillon Gabriel has shown early chemistry with his TEs. Miami has allowed the seventh-most FPPG to the position.

You have to take a leap of faith with the Jets offense, but Mason Taylor played 97% of snaps in Week 6 and could conceivably be the first read this week with Garrett Wilson out. Carolina has allowed the second-most FPPG to TEs. Despite the solid matchup, Juwan Johnson is seeing a decline in snap share, target share, and route share. Sit him this week, and hope his shining time in that offense isn't over.
