What's still developing
- Week 7 of the 2026 NFL season was another wild one with overtime finishes and key Fantasy Football performances that defined the week.
- From emerging wide receivers to running backs making the most of expanded opportunities, several players have put themselves on the Fantasy radar.
- If Concepcion was dropped in your league, he's another riser.
- Before we turn the page on Week 7, it's time to reflect on key standout performances and what the Week 8 waiver-wire priorities should be.
- Concepcion had a 29% target share, three forced missed tackles and converted seven first downs for the Browns.
- The former Stanford star was productive in his third career start, totaling 215 passing yards, a touchdown, and 12.6 fantasy points last week against the Carolina Panthers.
- Last week, they gave up 276 passing yards, two total touchdowns, and 20.2 fantasy points to Jordan Love despite him completing only 56.1% of his attempts.
- Unfortunately, that’s how the game of fantasy football is played.
- If a player in yellow ranks above someone you planned to start, that's your move.
- See the rest of his quarterback start/sit recommendations here.
- Vaki didn’t do much (as I noted, it was a one-man show for Gibbs) with only 2 carries for 7 yards, but now that we have confirmation that he’s the No. 2, he’s worth a look off the waivers in case Gibbs goes down.
