Vidal's Week 6 breakout in Los Angeles reshapes the waiver landscape, as the Chargers leaned on him for a 70% snap share and 124 rushing yards after an injury to Omarion Hampton. Spears in Tennessee followed with a clear uptick, while Arizona's backfield saw Knight and Carter split duties with Knight producing the higher ceiling. New Orleans' Kendre Miller grabbed opportunities with Kamara inked in, and Tre Tucker in Las Vegas emerged as a reliable weekly target. Across WR, TE and QB, a handful of veterans and rookies stepped up, creating clear Week 7 targets for fantasy rosters.

Trey Tucker and Bourne offer fluctuating but real upside in deeper formats, Downs and Pierce present solid floor upside in Indy and Green Bay, and Engram, Fannin Jr. plus Theo Johnson give tight-end sleepers with potential. On the QB side, Darnold, Dart and McCarthy provide compelling streamer options with favorable Week 7 matchups, while Wentz lurks as a potential season-long catalyst if the Vikings pivot back to him.

Philadelphia dropped a second straight and now faces a quick turnaround ahead of Week 7 at Minnesota, with Jalen Carter (heel) and Quinyon Mitchell (hamstring) sidelined on defense and a 34-17 setback to the Giants highlighting the Eagles’ vulnerability. Hurts threw his first interception of the year as the offense stalled late. For fantasy, the path to production in Week 7 hinges on how Philly adapts to injuries and whether Minnesota’s QB situation—Wentz or McCarthy—creates exploitable matchups.

Meanwhile, the Vikings, coming off a bye, wait on a Week 7 starter while flirting with a familiar face under center. The betting boards reflect a still-credible Eagles outfit, but NFC East dynamics and Super Bowl odds have shifted with Week 6 results. MVP and OPOY markets shifted as well, underscoring how a single game can tilt fantasy value and bets for the coming slate.

The Vikings’ Week 7 QB situation is murky as J.J. McCarthy nurses a high ankle sprain and Carson Wentz handles a shoulder issue, with limited practice possible. By week’s end Minnesota may ride a mobile, ramped-by-bye McCarthy or turn to Wentz or rookie Max Brosmer. Philadelphia’s defense is a stiff test, yet Minnesota’s plan hinges on mobility and groove before kickoff, reshaping fantasy lineups and weekly risk.
