    7 Players Whose Stocks Are Rising in Week 7 (+ Buy Low/Sell High Candidates)

    Nobody’s stock is falling this week, and five of the seven risers are young receivers. Kendall Valenzuela, Dwain McFarland and Peter Overzet go through the fantasy football players whose utilization is climbing going into Week 7 — and what’s actually driving each one. Germie Bernard rises to a high-end WR3. Carnell Tate joins him at high-end WR3, and his utilization comps paint an interesting picture — receivers at his utilization score have gone on to a top-24 season 46% of the time. Omar Cooper climbs to a high-end WR4. Jalen Coker and Emeka Egbuka both move up to mid-range WR2, with Egbuka cashing in last week’s Dwain-Lib. At running back, Bhayshul Tuten rises to a mid-range RB2 and Jaylen Warren holds steady there. Then the part your league isn’t thinking about yet. Is A.J. Brown a buy low after everything that’s happened? And is Ashton Jeanty a sell high while the name still carries weight? They also play Dwain-Libs on the thresholds that would move players again this week: what route share makes Ja’Kobi Lane a WR4, what gets Tyler Higbee to a low-end TE1, and what Omar Cooper becomes at an 85% route share alongside Adonai Mitchell. And they close with the moves to make before your league-mates get there — Dwain stashing Jaylin Noel, Pete on Christian Kirk and Terrance Ferguson, Kendall on Chig Okonkwo and Antonio Williams. 🔍 Topics in this video: 2026 fantasy football, stock up stock down, buy low sell high, route participation, utilization, week 7 fantasy football, Germie Bernard, Carnell Tate, Omar Cooper, Jalen Coker, Emeka Egbuka, Bhayshul Tuten, Jaylen Warren, A.J.

    7 Overreactions to Week 6 Fantasy Football (+ Week 7 Waiver Wire Targets)

    📋 Week 6 is in the books, four more teams are on bye in Week 7, and we’re working through all of it — the overreactions worth having, what’s actually real, and the waiver wire. Kendall and Pete open with Overreaction Monday. Pete wiring money to the Nigerian prince known as Colston Loveland. Whether we’ve seen Jameis Winston’s last snap of the season. Cam Skattebo being in the doghouse in New York and whether he belongs in yours. Germie Bernard, Carnell Tate and Omar Cooper finishing 1-2-3 in Offensive Rookie of the Year voting, in that order. Whether the A.J. Brown trade was a mistake. And Anthony Richardson starting for the Colts within two weeks. Plus Imagine That, presented by Xfinity Shield, on Bhayshul Tuten never having another touchdown called back. Then Real Football vs. Fake Football with former NFL offensive coordinator Scott Turner — whether C.J. Stroud is officially back to his rookie-year self, what Travis Hunter brings to the Jaguars offense on part-time snaps and whether he should be playing more, and how hard to press the panic button on a 2-4 Rams team that opened the year as Super Bowl favorites. Then It’s Not Me, It’s You, with Pete going at Justin Herbert and Kendall going at Kenneth Walker. Then the Week 7 waiver wire with the Bills, Chargers, Commanders and Jaguars all on bye. J.J. McCarthy at quarterback. Roschon Johnson, Seth McGowan, Tyrone Tracy and Kendre Miller at running back. Omar Cooper, Ja’Kobi Lane, Jaylin Noel, Malachi Fields and Travis Hunter at receiver. And Michael Mayer at tight end. 🔍 Topics in this video: fantasy football week 7 waiver wire, week 7 waiver wire pickups, week 7 bye weeks, fantasy football advice 2026, overreaction monday, week 6 fantasy football recap, Colston Loveland, Jameis Winston, Cam Skattebo, Bhayshul Tuten, Germie Bernard, Carnell Tate, Omar Cooper, A.J.

    Week 6 Fantasy Preview: Rankings, Smash/Crash Spots, Start/Sit & Injury Report

    📋 Week 6 is here. We’re breaking down fantasy football rankings, the smash spots and crash spots at every position, hitting the injuries that could wreck your lineup, and going rapid-fire on the start/sit calls you’re still sweating. Kendall and Pete go through the top 12 quarterbacks, top 24 running backs, top 24 receivers and top 12 tight ends, then get into the spots that actually decide your week — Jameis Winston and Kirk Cousins in smash spots with Trevor Lawrence in a crash spot, Rhamondre Stevenson and Tony Pollard at running back with a warning on Jacory Croskey-Merritt, Carnell Tate plus both Packers receivers in plus matchups with Garrett Wilson on the other side, and both sides of tight end with Dalton Kincaid smashing and Jake Ferguson crashing. Then the Week 6 injury report. Jalen Hurts has been ruled out with a blood clot, which raises the question of whether there’s a single Eagle worth starting right now. Caleb Williams is in line to return from his hamstring, so what does that do for him and the Bears pass catchers. Jalen Coker is back from a quad injury. David Montgomery is week-to-week with a groin issue, which puts the focus on whether Woody Marks is actually startable. And A.J. Brown is practicing again after a stint on IR. Then a rapid-fire start/sit round on Bryce Young, Omarion Hampton, Blake Corum, Emeka Egbuka and Xavier Worthy, and they close by building a DFS lineup together for the week. 🔍 Topics in this video: fantasy football start or sit this week for week 6, fantasy football rankings, fantasy rankings changes, week 6 injury report, week 6 fantasy smash spots, week 6 fantasy crash spots, week 6 QB rankings, Week 6 RB rankings, Week 6 WR rankings, Week 6 TE rankings, Week 6 NFL DFS lineup building, Jameis Winston, Kirk Cousins, Trevor Lawrence, Rhamondre Stevenson, Tony Pollard, Jacory Croskey-Merritt, Carnell Tate, Christian Watson, Matthew Golden, Garrett Wilson, Dalton Kincaid, Jake Ferguson, Jalen Hurts, Caleb Williams, Jalen Coker, David Montgomery, Woody Marks, A.J.

    Week 6 Stock Up/Stock Down + Buy Low/Sell High Candidates + Moves to Make NOW!

    Marvin Harrison Jr. is in Houston, and that’s not the only thing that moved. Kendall Valenzuela, Dwain McFarland and Peter Overzet go through the fantasy football players whose utilization shifted going into Week 6 — and what’s actually driving each one. Rhamondre Stevenson climbs to a borderline RB1. Marvin Harrison Jr. rises to WR4 with WR3 upside, and they get into what specifically about the Texans offense changes his outlook. Isaiah Likely pushes into high-end TE1 territory, and Mike Evans moves up to a high-end WR2. Going the other way: Jaylen Waddle falls into WR3 range. Then the part your league isn’t thinking about yet. Is Bhayshul Tuten somehow a buy low and a sell high at the same time? Is Jeremiyah Love a buy at his current price? And is Denzel Boston a sell while people still believe? They also play Dwain-Libs on the thresholds that would move players again: what average route depth would knock Marvin Harrison Jr. down to a mid-range WR3, what attempt share makes MarShawn Lloyd a short-term low-end RB2, and what Emeka Egbuka becomes at a 25% target share with Baker Mayfield back. And they close with the stashes to make before your league-mates get there — Dwain on Samaje Perine, Pete on Roschon Johnson. 🔍 Topics in this video: 2026 fantasy football, stock up stock down, buy low sell high, route participation, utilization, week 6 fantasy football, Marvin Harrison Jr, Rhamondre Stevenson, Isaiah Likely, Mike Evans, Jaylen Waddle, Bhayshul Tuten, Jeremiyah Love, Denzel Boston, MarShawn Lloyd, Emeka Egbuka, Baker Mayfield, Samaje Perine, Roschon Johnson, fantasy football trade targets, waiver wire Learn more about your ad choices.

    Week 5 Fantasy Recap: Overreactions, Waivers & More (Feat. Scott Turner)

    📋 Four teams are on bye in Week 6 — Bengals, Lions, Dolphins and Vikings — which means a lot of lineups are about to have holes in them. We’re getting you ready, plus overreacting to Week 5 and figuring out what’s real. Kendall and Pete open with Overreaction Monday. Not being able to get a second-round pick for Marvin Harrison Jr. in dynasty. Whether Michael Wilson is the Marvin Harrison Jr. of the Cardinals.

And whether the Chase Brown experiment is officially over. Plus Imagine That, presented by Xfinity Shield, on Rico Dowdle taking a Caribbean vacation that lasts until January and what that means for Jaylen Warren. Then Real Football vs. Fake Football with former NFL offensive coordinator Scott Turner — whether the 49ers are Super Bowl favorites or whether the injuries catch up to them, whether the NFC East is officially the worst division in football and who actually wins it, and whether the Vikings deserve to be taken seriously as contenders. Then It’s Not Me, It’s You, with Pete going at Sean Payton and Kendall going at the entire NFC East. Then the Week 6 waiver wire with four teams on bye. Aaron Rodgers and Jalon Daniels at quarterback. Woody Marks, Kendre Miller, Dameon Pierce and Seth McGowan at running back.

Then the Week 5 injury report. Lamar Jackson’s ankle sprain is being called “unconventional,” so how do you handle the Ravens offense with Tyler Huntley under center.
