Allen and Jackson sit Week 7, pressuring fantasy managers to pivot. The top tier centers on Prescott, Daniels, Hurts, and Jones, with Herbert, Love, and Tagovailoa closing the high floors. Depth options emerge for streams and bye-week fills as the slate evolves.

Sleepers include Rodgers versus Cincinnati and deeper plays like Tua, Cam Ward, and Bo Nix who carry upside in favorable matchups. In ultra-deep rosters, replacing Allen or Jackson hinges on finding QBs with rushing punch and solid passing ceilings, while keeping a wary eye on injury notes and bye-week planners.

Scoring uses 4-point passing TDs and 25 passing yards per point, so streaming and matchup-tempo matter. Build lineups with proximity to Week 7 waivers in mind, leveraging rushing floors from Hurts, Daniels, and Jones to maximize upside across formats.

Hassan Haskins isn’t a drop in this Chargers backfield, even after Kimani Vidal’s Week 6 breakout. With Omarion Hampton sidelined, Vidal showed upside, but Haskins profiles as a between-the-tackles grinder who can still grab touches if the rotation wobbles. The takeaway for fantasy managers is to hold Haskins for at least a week or two while the Chargers sort their RB usage, rather than chase a quick cut.

The piece also points to plausible waiver targets—Zonovan Knight, Tyjae Spears, and Jaydon Blue among others—while touting the Who Should I Pickup tool to compare options. In short, don’t overreact to one big game from Vidal; Haskins remains a short-term contributor with plausible season-long upside if injuries linger or Hampton’s recovery drags.

Denver placed Matt Peart on IR with a knee injury and promoted Calvin Throckmorton. Garret Wallow also went to IR, J.T. Gray was activated, and Throckmorton was elevated while Garrett Nelson and Karsen Barnhart joined the practice squad. Peart, thrust into LG duty after Powers’ biceps tear, drew three penalties in the Jets win.

With Powers and Peart out, Alex Palczewski or Throckmorton could start at left guard versus the Giants in London. Palczewski had been a frontrunner for Powers’ spot, and Denver plans to deploy eight OL pieces in run and play-action on a pivotal Week 7.
