Must-Start

Strong Starts
Here are players that should be in starting consideration for most fantasy teams.
Dobbins is the RB21 in fantasy points per game, averaging 16.2 touches and 77.5 total yards. Among 50 qualifying backs, he ranks sixth in explosive run rate and 29th in yards after contact per attempt. His fantasy value is reliant upon what he does in the rushing department. He has only one target in each of his last three games. The Giants should allow him to have a nice day on the ground, though. New York has allowed the 11th-most rushing yards per game, the eighth-highest explosive run rate, and the fifth-highest missed tackle rate.
I’m sorry, Tyrone Tracy Jr. stans, but this is Cam Skattebo‘s backfield. Last week, Tracy Jr. returned and played only 29.9% of the snaps. Skattebo had a 71.6% snap rate, 19 of 26 running back carries, and a 48.5% route share (7.7% target share). Overall, Skattebo is the RB11 in fantasy points per game, and since becoming the Giants’ starting running back, he’s the RB12 in fantasy points per game. Since Week 4, he has averaged 23 touches and 101.4 total yards. Among 50 qualifying backs, Skattebo ranks sixth in missed tackles forced per attempt and ninth in yards after contact per attempt. Skattebo will get fed volume, but he’ll have an uphill climb this week. There is some hope, though. Denver has allowed the sixth-fewest rushing yards per game, the eighth-lowest yards before contact per attempt, and the fourth-lowest explosive run rate, but they have also given up the 12th-highest missed tackle rate and the tenth-highest yards after contact per attempt. Skattebo should still produce volume RB2 stats this week.
Fantasy Football Flex & Deep Plays to Consider
Let’s fill out those flex spots.
Sean Payton can’t get out of his own way or RJ Harvey‘s these days. Last week, Harvey saw his snap rate fall to 28% with only two of 18 running back carries, while he did lead the team with a 27.3% route share and 13.3% target share. He’s not playing enough, and the Denver offense isn’t prolific enough for him to have fantasy start ability with this tiny of a workload. He’s still been effective with his work, ranking 15th in missed tackles forced per attempt and 25th in yards after contact per attempt. If Denver gets up to a big lead, maybe Harvey gets some work late this week. The matchup is good enough that he could have flex viability, but in most instances, I’m not playing him this week. The Giants should allow him to have a nice day on the ground, though. New York has allowed the 11th-most rushing yards per game, the eighth-highest explosive run rate, and the fifth-highest missed tackle rate.
Troy Franklin is the WR48 in fantasy points per game with two top-36 weekly finishes this season (WR7, WR36). He has a 71.8% route share, a 17% target share, 41.7 receiving yards per game (1.53 yards per route run), and an 18% first-read share. Franklin has only one score across the last five games despite seeing six red zone targets. Across the last two weeks, the Giants have utilized two high at the seventh-highest rate (58.6%). Against two high, Franklin has seen his first-read share increase to 20.3%. Franklin is a solid flex option this week against a secondary that has allowed the tenth-most fantasy points per game and the 11th-most receiving yards per game to perimeter wide receivers.
Concerning Starts & Players to Fade
Players in consideration for lineups, but temper your expectations this week.
Since Week 4, Dart has been the QB10 in fantasy points per game, averaging ten carries and 55.7 rushing yards per game. Among 41 qualifying quarterbacks, he ranks 37th in yards per attempt, 21st in highly accurate throw rate, fifth in catchable target rate, and 17th in CPOE. He’ll need all the production with his legs that he can muster this week against an elite Denver pass defense. Dart will be under duress any time he drops back to pass this week. Dart has the fourth-highest pressure rate faced this season. Denver ranks ninth in blitz rate and first in pressure rate. Denver has allowed the fourth-fewest yards per attempt, the lowest success rate per dropback, and the second-fewest passing touchdowns. Dart is a QB2 this week.
There’s no other way to put this, but Bo Nix has had a weekly spot on the struggle bus this season as the QB19 in fantasy points per game. Among 41 qualifying quarterbacks, he ranks 30th in yards per attempt, 27th in passer rating, 31st in highly accurate throw rate, 33rd in catchable target rate, and he has the eighth-highest off-target rate. Nix could have issues again this week against what has been a renewed Giants’ pass defense. Since Week 4, this team has put a hurting on opposing passers, allowing the 11th-fewest yards per attempt, the seventh-lowest passer rating, and the ninth-lowest success rate per dropback. During this span, the Giants have also had the tenth-best pressure rate. Denver should lean on their ground game this week.
Wan’Dale Robinson has two WR1 weekly finishes this season WR5, WR9), but the problem is that he has finished outside the top 30 wide receivers in weekly scoring in every other game. Since Week 4, Robinson has had a 21.8% target share with 42.7 receiving yards per game (1.29 yards per route run), and a 20% first-read share. Robinson has three red zone targets in his last three games. Denver has the fifth-highest single high rate in the NFL (58.8%). Since Week 4, against single high, Robinson has seen his target share fall to 18.8% with a 17.6% first-read share. Those numbers aren’t encouraging, especially when paired with the fact that Denver has allowed the second-fewest PPR points per target and 13th-fewest receiving yards per game to slot receivers. Sit Robinson this week.
Since Week 4, Johnson has been the TE12 in fantasy points per game, seeing an 18.4% target share and 21.7% first-read share. During that stretch, he has produced 25.7 receiving yards per game (1.04 yards per route run) and three scores (three end zone targets). His per-route efficiency hasn’t been great, and he’s honestly lived off the touchdowns, which is like many tight ends in fantasy, but without the touchdowns, Johnson would have a basement-level TE2. Sit Johnson this week as Denver has allowed the sixth-fewest fantasy points per game and receiving yards per game to tight ends.
Darius Slayton has been ruled out for Week 7.

Must-Start
These are no-brainer MUST starts.
Strong Starts
Here are players that should be in starting consideration for most fantasy teams.
The luster of Herbert’s 2025 season has dimmed somewhat with all of the injuries that have occurred around him, but he is still the QB11 in fantasy points per game. Herbert is using his legs this season, which has helped him average 25.6 rushing yards per game. Herbert is still playing at a high level, ranking 12th in passing yards per game, eighth in highly accurate throw rate, 14th in hero throw rate, and tenth in catchable target rate. Herbert should have a strong game this week against a secondary that has allowed the 12th-most passing yards per game, the tenth-most passing touchdowns (tied), the fourth-most deep passing yards per game, and the fourth-highest deep passer rating. Herbert ranks seventh in deep passing attempts this season.
Kimani Vidal stepped up last week as the Chargers’ clear workhorse. Will it be this good every week for Vidal? No, he doesn’t get to play against the Dolphins weekly, but he is the clear leadback for this offense, right now. Vidal handled six of seven possible red zone rushing attempts, he played 67.2% of the snaps, had 18 of 24 running back carries, and had a 43.6% route share (10.5% target share). Last week, Vidal finished with 21 touches and 138 total yards as the RB9 for the week. Vidal has been good on a per-touch basis this season with a 13.6% explosive run rate and 3.41 yards after contact per attempt. Vidal could easily have another standout day in Week 7. Indy has allowed the 13th-highest explosive run rate, the sixth-highest yards before contact per attempt, the sixth-highest yards per carry to zone runs, and the fifth-highest success rate to zone runs (Vidal 59.1% zone).
Quentin Johnston missed last week’s game with a hamstring injury. He practiced on a limited basis all last week before sitting out. He practiced on a limited basis all week until Friday, when he logged a full session. Johnston is the WR8 in fantasy points per game, leading the team with eight deep targets and running 21st among wide receivers in red zone targets. Johnston has a 22% target share with a 36.5% air-yard share, 2.07 yards per route run (75.4 receiving yards per game), and a 26.4% first-read share. Johnston will face a Colts’ secondary that has utilized single high with 51.2-62.5% of their defensive snaps in four of six games. Against single high, Johnston leads the team with a 25% target, 2.49 yards per route run, and a 28.2% first-read share. Johnston should have a big game this week against a secondary that has allowed the fourth-most deep passing yards per game and the fourth-highest deep passer rating. Indy has allowed the 11th-most PPR points per target to perimeter wide receivers.
As Ladd McConkey has been heating up, Keenan Allen has cooled off with WR40 and WR48 weekly finishes the last two weeks. Allen has remained heavily involved, though, with 8.5 targets per game and three red zone targets, so it’s not time to panic. Allen has a 22.3% target share with 52.7 receiving yards per game (1.73 yards per route run) and a 23% first-read share. Indy has utilized single high with 51.2-62.5% of their defensive snaps in four of six games. Against single high, Allen ranks second on the team with a 22% target share, 1.86 yards per route run, and a 22.3% first-read share. He is also second on the team in deep targets. Indy has allowed the fourth-most deep passing yards per game and the fourth-highest deep passer rating. He’s a strong play this week against an Indy secondary that has allowed the 11th-most PPR points per target to perimeter wide receivers.
HE LIVES! Ladd McConkey flashed the upside and talent that we all know he still possesses last week as the WR6 in fantasy football. McConkey has broken out of his early-season funk in the last two weeks with WR20 and WR6 weekly finishes. He has five red zone targets and two scores across the last two games. McConkey has a 19.5% target share with 52.2 receiving yards per game (1.45 yards per route run) and a 21.6% first-read share. Indy has utilized single high with 51.2-62.5% of their defensive snaps in four of six games. Against single high, McConkey is third on the team with a 20.5% target share, 1.58 yards per route run, and a 21.3% first-read share. He might be the third option in the passing game progression this week, but he could easily stack another strong game this week against an Indy secondary that has allowed the tenth-most fantasy points per game and the seventh-most receiving yards per game to slot receivers.
Last week, Oronde Gadsden became the Bolts full-time tight end with a 69.2% route share, a 21.1% target share, 68 receiving yards (2.52 yards per route run), and a 31.6% first-read share. He even saw an end zone target. He was the TE12 for the week. Indy has utilized single-high with 51.2-62.5% of their defensive snaps in four of their six games. Against single high, Gadsden has a 26% target per route run rate and 1.72 yards per route run. Among 52 qualifying tight ends, against single high, those marks rank fifth-best and 13th. Gadsden Jr. could easily post another TE1 stat line this week against an Indy defense that has allowed the tenth-most receiving yards and the 13th-most schedule-adjusted fantasy points per game to tight ends.
Fantasy Football Flex & Deep Plays to Consider
Let’s fill out those flex spots.
Alec Pierce is an interesting flex play this week. He has a 14.4% target share with 54.8 receiving yards per game (2.07 yards per route run) and a 15.6% first-read share. Pierce comes into the flex conversation against the Chargers’ single high coverage. In four of six games this season, the Chargers have utilized single high with 51.1-59.4% of their defensive snaps. Against single high, Pierce’s target share has skyrocketed to 26.9% with 3.67 yards per route run and a 27.9% first-read share. The Chargers aren’t an easy matchup, but if Pierce does get featured versus single high and a target share bump with Josh Downs out, he could pay off in the flex. The Bolts have allowed the fourth-fewest PPR points per target to perimeter wide receivers.
Concerning Starts & Players to Fade
Players in consideration for lineups, but temper your expectations this week.
Jones is the QB9 in fantasy points per game as he has had a renaissance as a passer this season. Yes, he his averaging 12.7 rushing yards per game with four rushing scores, but his passing stats have been even more impressive. Among 41 qualifying passers, Jones ranks fifth in yards per attempt, 11th in passing yards per game, third in highly accurate throw rate, and sixth in catchable target rate. Jones will have a tough road to walk this week against the Bolts’ pass defense. The Chargers have allowed the third-fewest yards per attempt, the fourth-fewest passing yards per game, and the second-lowest success rate per dropback. Indy should lean on its ground game this week.
When we all wondered, “Who would be the Bolts’ lead back without Omarion Hampton in the lineup?” The answer apparently was emphatically NOT Hassan Haskins. Last week, he played only 31.3% of the snaps with seven touches and 23 total yards. He had only one red zone rushing attempt, while Kimani Vidal had six. Haskins is a sit this week and droppable depending on your waiver wire options.
Michael Pittman Jr. is the WR22 in fantasy points per game with five deep targets and the sixth-most red zone targets among wide receivers. Pittman Jr. has a 20.2% target share with 48.8 receiving yards per game (1.79 yards per route run), and a 23.2% first-read share. This week, Pittman Jr. faces a secondary that, in four of six games, has utilized single high with 51.1-59.4% of their defensive snaps. Against single high, Pittman Jr. has seen his target share drop to 18.8% with only 1.52 yards per route run and a 20% first-read share. This doesn’t look like a smash spot for Pittman Jr. against a secondary that has allowed the fourth-fewest PPR points per target and fifth-fewest receiving yards per game to perimeter wide receivers.
Josh Downs has been ruled out for Week 7.

*CeeDee Lamb practiced in full on Friday and doesn’t carry an injury designation into Week 7.*
Strong Starts
Here are players that should be in starting consideration for most fantasy teams.
Bill looks to have taken over as Washington’s primary ball carrier and leader of the backfield. Last week, Bill played 66.7% of the snaps with Chris Rodriguez active, handling 17 of the 19 running back carries with a team-leading 40% route share (3.8% target share). Last week, Bill handled the team’s only red zone carry. Over the last two games, he has averaged 17 touches and 109 total yards. Among 50 qualifying backs, Bill ranks third in explosive run rate and seventh in yards after contact per attempt. Bill should have a nice day this week against a Dallas run defense that has allowed the fourth-most rushing yards per game, the fifth-highest explosive run rate, and the 13th-most yards after contact per attempt.
Zach Ertz is the TE16 in fantasy points per game, with two TE1 finishes this season (TE2, TE5). He has zero deep targets and four red zone targets this season. This week’s matchup against Dallas is a great schematic matchup for him. Dallas has the sixth-highest two-high rate in the NFL (58.5%). Against two high, Ertz has a 23.1% target share, 2.30 yards per route run, and a 35.1% first-read share (WOW!). Dallas isn’t a wonderful matchup for Ertz on paper, but Daniels should look to him often this week. Dallas has allowed the 12th-most receiving yards per game to tight ends while ranking 16th in schedule-adjusted fantasy points per game allowed. With Deebo Samuel and Terry McLaurin out, Jayden Daniels will lean heavily on Zach Ertz this week. Ertz is dealing with calf and shoulder injuries (listed as questionable), but he’s expected to play this week.
Fantasy Football Flex & Deep Plays to Consider
Let’s fill out those flex spots.
With Terry McLaurin and Deebo Samuel out, Luke McCaffrey will assume a full-time role in the Washington offense (or at least he should). Washington hasn’t utilized him in a full-time role this season when they have had opportunities to do so. He has lived in the 34.4-43.5% route share range since Week 3. McCaffrey has been productive when he has been targeted with a 17% target per route run rate, 3.09 yards per route run, and 0.086 first downs per route run. Dallas has the sixth-highest two-high rate in the NFL (58.5%). McCaffrey has been quite successful against two high with a whopping 26% target per route run rate and 4.26 yards per route run. He is tied with Chris Moore and Jaylin Lane for second on the team in deep targets, which could come in handy against a secondary that has allowed the most deep passing yards per game and deep passing touchdowns. McCaffrey is a nice flex play with upside this week. Dallas has allowed the most PPR points per target and the fourth-most receiving yards per game to perimeter wide receivers.
Since Week 3, Chris Moore has had a 66.7% route share, a 10% target share, 0.89 yards per route run (17.8 receiving yards per game), and a 13.8% first-read share. He popped off with his best game of the season last week with a 19.2% target share (five targets), 46 receiving yards (1.77 yards per route run), and a score as the WR21 for the week. This week, Moore faces a Dallas secondary that has the sixth-highest two-high rate in the NFL (58.5%). Since Week 3, against two high, Moore has been a ghost with only a 6.7% target share, 0.52 yards per route run, and a 5.6% first-read share. Moore is flex viable this week because the matchup is juicy, considering how bad the Dallas pass defense has been, but the coverage matchup definitely bumps him down some in the flex hierarchy. He is tied with Luke McCaffrey and Jaylin Lane for second on the team in deep targets, which could come in handy against a secondary that has allowed the most deep passing yards per game and deep passing touchdowns. Dallas has allowed the most PPR points per target and the fourth-most receiving yards per game to perimeter wide receivers.
With Deebo Samuel out this week, I think Jaylin Lane will assume the starting slot duties. He ranks second on the team in slot routes (90). He has a 37.8% route share, an 18% target per route run rate, and 1.04 yards per route run. None of those numbers jumps off the page. This week, Lane faces a Dallas secondary that has the sixth-highest two-high rate in the NFL (58.5%). Against two high, Lane has only a 10% target per route run rate and 0.45 yards per route run. I don’t see him commanding a hefty target share this week. He could convert on a downfield target and offer some upside, though. Lane is tied for second on the team with four deep targets, which could come in handy against a secondary that has allowed the most deep passing yards per game and deep passing touchdowns. He’s a deep league flex only.

*Josh Jacobs is a game-time decision this week. He’s dealing with an illness and a calf issue.*
Strong Starts
Here are players that should be in starting consideration for most fantasy teams.
Romeo Doubs is the WR24 in fantasy points per game while ranking ninth among wide receivers in red zone targets. He has three top-36 weekly finishes this season (WR35, WR3, WR30). Arizona has the seventh-highest two-high rate in the NFL (58.4). Since Week 4, against two high, Doubs has led the team with a 24.3% target share and 33.3% first-read share while posting 1.68 yards per route run. Doubs should be a nice flex play this week against a secondary that has allowed the 12th-most receiving yards per game to perimeter wide receivers.
Since Week 4, Matthew Golden has been the WR31 in fantasy points per game, drawing a 15.9% target share with a 19.6% first-read share and producing 72 receiving yards per game with 2.88 yards per route run. He has two red zone targets across his last three games. Arizona has the seventh-highest two-high rate in the NFL (58.4%). Since Week 4, against two high, Golden leads the team with a 27% target per route run rate and 4.15 yards per route run. He is second on the team with a 25% first-read share. Golden should have another nice outing this week against a secondary that has allowed the 12th-most receiving yards per game to perimeter wide receivers.
Fantasy Football Flex & Deep Plays to Consider
Let’s fill out those flex spots.
Jordan Love is the QB13 in fantasy points per game with only one QB1 weekly finish this season (QB6). Love has been quite good on a per-dropback basis, but the problem is the Packers aren’t passing enough. He ranks 25th in dropbacks despite also sitting at tenth in passing yards per game, third in yards per attempt, fifth in passer rating, and eighth in hero throw rate. Love should post strong numbers again this week and possibly flirt with QB1 production against a pass defense that has allowed the seventh-most passing yards per game, the ninth-highest success rate per dropback, and that sits at 18th in CPOE.
Emanuel Wilson will draw the start for Green Bay if Josh Jacobs is out. Wilson has out-snapped Chris Brooks over the last three games, playing 18.3-29.1% of the snaps, averaging seven touches and 37.7 total yards. Wilson has meh-level tackle-breaking metrics with an 11% missed tackle rate and 2.50 yards after contact per attempt. If he gets the start, he could return volume-driven RB2 value. Arizona has allowed the seventh-highest explosive run rate and the 13th-highest yards after contact per attempt. The Cardinals have also allowed the 11th-most receiving yards to backs. Wilson has a serviceable 16% target per route run rate and 1.32 yards per route run (23rd out of 65 qualifying backs).
Concerning Starts & Players to Fade
Players in consideration for lineups, but temper your expectations this week.
Last week, Brissett finished as the QB7 in fantasy, chucking for 320 yards with two passing touchdowns and 19 yards added on the ground. Among 41 qualifying passers, Brissett ranks 20th in yards per attempt, 36th in highly accurate throw rate, and dead last in catchable target rate. Brissett has the 14th-highest off-target rate. I think his performance last week says more about the Colts’ pass defense than it does about Brissett’s abilities at this stage of his career. Green Bay won’t be so giving. The Packers have allowed the fewest yards per attempt, the seventh-lowest success rate per dropback, and the ninth-lowest CPOE.
Kyler Murray has been ruled out for Week 7.
Last week, we got word about an hour before kickoff that Knight was going to take over the Arizona backfield as the team’s starter for Week 6. Knight finishes as the RB15 in weekly scoring with 12 touches and 54 total yards (one score). He handled three of the five running back red zone carries while playing 48.6% of the snaps with a 25.5% route share (4.5% target share). He could be the team’s lead back again this week. His per-touch numbers haven’t been great, with only a 7% missed tackle rate and 1.60 yards after contact per attempt. He’ll need a touchdown to pay off again this week as a flex play. Green Bay’s run defense remains elite, giving up the fewest rushing yards per game, the second-lowest explosive run rate, and the sixth-lowest yards after contact per attempt.
Last week, Michael Carter lost the starting job to Zonovan Knight. He handled only one of the five red zone carries for the team. He played 45.7% of the snaps while operating as the passing down back with a 40.4% route share and 9.1% target share. Carter finished with 11 touches and 64 total yards. This isn’t the week to flex him. Green Bay’s run defense remains elite, giving up the fewest rushing yards per game, the second-lowest explosive run rate, and the sixth-lowest yards after contact per attempt.
Marvin Harrison Jr. has cleared the concussion protocol and will be good to go for Week 7. Harrison Jr. is the WR37 in fantasy points per game with seven deep targets (24th among wide receivers) and four red zone targets. He has three weeks with top 24 weekly scoring finishes (WR12, WR14, WR22), but the problem is that he also has three games with weekly finishes outside the top 50 wide receivers (WR82, WR51, WR63). Harrison Jr. has a 16% target share with 56.3 receiving yards per game (1.87 yards per route run) and a 16.9% first-read share. He faces a secondary that has allowed the tenth-fewest PPR points per target to perimeter wide receivers. I don’t expect him to have a big game in Week 7.
