quarterbacks

Daniel Jones, Giants

next up	listed	Fabulous
On the sea	40%	$3

While Jones’ passing performance remains unfazed, he currently has the second most rushing yards (343) by a quarterback this season, behind Lamar Jackson.

The 25-year-old’s blistering numbers — including three touchdowns on the ground — have helped him achieve average top-10 fantasy stats among QBs.

His next opponent, the Seahawks, is one of the 12 easiest matchups for fantasy quarterbacks. Seattle gave up 100 rushing yards to Kyler Murray just two weeks ago.

Jones should be at the top of your list when looking for a streamer.

run back

Gus Edwards, Ravens

next up	listed	Fabulous
at TB	43%	$49

In his first game action since his cruciate ligament rupture last year, Edwards dominated touches in the Baltimore backfield en route to 16 carries, 66 yards and a touchdown.

Though he only played 36% of the Ravens’ offensive snaps, his involvement will likely increase as he becomes more comfortable post-injury.

With JK Dobbins on injured reserve, there’s nothing stopping Edwards from locking the lead back role forward – if he can stay healthy.

Keep in mind that Baltimore’s running backs are touchdown dependent due to their low volume in the passing game. Edwards should be considered a low-end RB2 for fantasy, with a capped cap on the weeks he fails to find the end zone.

Chuba Hubbard/D’Onta Foreman, Panthers

next up	listed	Fabulous
at ATL	36%/49%	$19/$14

The Panthers shocked the world by driving to victory over the Buccaneers in their first game after selling Christian McCaffrey and Robbie Anderson.

Hubbard had 73 yards and a score in Sunday’s contest, while Foreman used a few longer runs to finish with 145 yards from scrimmage.

An ankle injury also forced Hubbard out of the competition early on. However, the team doesn’t seem concerned and claim he could have returned if needed.

If the Panthers’ new-look offense can run on the Bucs, they should be able to run on the Falcons in Week 8.

Hubbard and Foreman can both be considered RB3/Flex options for the remainder of the season, but just know that Carolina could turn into a pumpkin again at any moment.

Michael Carter, Isiah Pachecoand Khalil Herbert Are above the 50% mark in the roster but should be in the roster in most leagues.

High upside backups like Alexander Mattson (46% roster), Rachaad Weiss (29% roster), Jaylen Warren (6% roster) and Samaje Perine (6% in squad) Should be in the squad in most leagues.

Flex Options: Tyler Allgeier vs. CAR (40% of rosters), Latavius ​​Murray at JAX (40% of rosters), Nyheim Hines vs. WAS (41% of rosters)

Risky Flex Options: Kenneth Gainwell vs. PIT (17% list), Mark Ingram vs. LV (18% list), Rex Burkhead vs. TEN (11% list), Dontrell Hilliard at HOU (12% list), JD McKissic at IND (18% List). ), Keaontay Ingram at MIN (0% roster)

Dart Throw Flex Options: Boston Scott vs. PIT (1% of list), Malcolm Brown vs SF (0% List), JaMycal Hasty vs DEN (0% List), Caleb Huntley vs CAR (6% List), Matt Breida at SEA (1% List), DeeJay Dallas vs NYG (7th % roster), Craig Reynolds vs. MIA (1% roster)

Bye Week Hides: Sony Michel (11% list), Jerick McKinnon (8% list)

Long-term storage: James Cook (21% roster), Zamir White (2% roster), Hassan Haskins (0% roster)

Injured Reserve Hides: Kyren Williams (30% in squad), Damien Williams vs. CAR (3% in squad)

wide receiver

Wan’Dale Robinson, Giants

next up	listed	Fabulous
On the sea	29%	$19

Despite his growing role on the Giants offense, Robinson reappears in the waiver wire section as he continues to be available in over 70% of fantasy leagues.

In his first game since his opening-game injury, the rookie hit a 3-37-1 line in Week 6 while playing 23% of the team’s snaps.

His usage jumped to 69% of snaps a week later, and he was delivering six catches and 50 yards on eight targets.

With tight end Daniel Bellinger out indefinitely and wideouts Kadarius Toney and Kenny Golladay still on the sidelines injured, Robinson has a legitimate shot at leading the Giants this season.

He’s approaching WR3/flex status and needs to be all over the list.

Parris Campbell, Colts

next up	listed	Fabulous
against WHAT	4%	$9

Campbell’s recent surge in consumption and production could take a turn for the worse if he doesn’t link up with newcomer Sam Ehlinger. But we’re still optimistic that his 23 goals over the past two weeks show what he can do the rest of the way for the Colts offense.

The 25-year-old is finally healthy and has blossomed into a full-time player at Indianapolis in the last three games, seeing the field in over 90% of the Colts’ snaps.

He turned those elevated goals into a 7-57-1 line against the Jaguars in Week 6 and a 10-70-1 line in Sunday’s loss to the Titans.

It’s worth picking Campbell up now to see if he can continue with Ehlinger at the helm.

George Pickens and Tyler Boyd Are above the 50% mark in the roster but should be in the roster in most leagues.

Flex Options: Isaiah McKenzie vs GB (40% of players)

Risky Flex Options: Elijah Moore vs. NE (42% list), Josh Reynolds vs. MIA (37% list), Rondale Moore at MIN (49% list), Darius Slayton at SEA (2% list), Sammy Watkins at BUF (8% list ). ), Marquise Goodwin vs. NYG (1% roster), Zay Jones vs. DEN (18% roster), Tyquan Thornton at NYJ (11% roster)

Dart Throw Flex Options: Donovan Peoples-Jones vs. CIN (20% roster), DeVante Parker at NYJ (23% roster), Noah Brown vs. CHI (7% roster), Robbie Anderson at MIN (18% roster), Marvin Jones vs. DEN ( 5% in roster), Terrace Marshall at ATL (1% in roster), Tre’Quan Smith vs LV (1% in roster), Mack Hollins at NO (6% in roster), Dee Eskridge vs NYG (0% in squad), Scotty Miller vs. BAL (0% of players)

Dart throw flex options (when healthy): Christian Watson at BUF (4% roster)

Bye Week Hides: Marquez Valdes-Scantling (36% roster), Mecole Hardman (24% roster), Josh Palmer (20% roster)

Injured recipients to stow: Nico Collins (20% roster), Jahan Dotson (27% roster), Van Jefferson (7% roster), Kadarius Toney (14% roster), Julio Jones (20% roster)

Long term rookie hideouts: Skyy Moore at SF (8% roster)

Other receivers to stow: Khalil Shakir vs GB (1% squad), KJ Osborn vs ARI (4% squad), Quez Watkins vs PIT (0% squad)

Injured Reserve Hides: Jameson Williams (31% squad), Treylon Burks (18% squad)

tight ends

Greg Dulcich, Broncos

next up	listed	Fabulous
at JAX	11%	$9

If Dulcich’s 44-yard one-touchdown debut in Week 6 wasn’t enough to convince you, the rookie made an undeniable fall the following week.

Even on a struggling Denver offense, Dulcich drew nine targets and caught six of them for 51 yards.

Unlike many of their other tight ends, this Broncos regime has Dulcich drafted, and they’re doing their best to draft him in right away.

It’s a strong TE2 option in the fantasy with a path to get into the low-end TE mix if that path continues.

Streamer Options: Evan Engram vs. DEN (41% list)

Risky Streamer Options: Hunter Henry at NYJ (45% lineup), Juwan Johnson vs. LV (3% lineup), Cade Otton vs. BAL (14% lineup), Harrison Bryant vs. CIN (0% lineup), Mike Gesicki at DET (41% lineup) roster), Irv Smith Jr. vs. ARI (41% roster)

Risky Streamer options (when Starter is off): Foster Moreau at NO (6% roster)

Dart Throw Streamer Options: Will Dissly vs NYG (12% List), Noah Fant vs NYG (12% List), Cole Kmet at DAL (25% List), Austin Hooper at HOU (14% List), Brevin Jordan vs TEN (1% List) squad), Jordan Akins vs. TEN (0% squad)

Dart throw streamer options (if error free): Logan Thomas at IND (6% roster)

Dart throw streamer options (when launcher is off): Peyton Hendershot vs. CHI (0% List), Jake Ferguson vs. CHI (0% List), Tanner Hudson at SEA (0% List), Chris Myarick at SEA (0% List)

Long term rookie hideouts: Isaiah Likely (2% List)
