Colts sign Bayron Matos to their practice squad, adding a 6-foot-7, 313-pound Dominican athlete via the NFL International Pathway. Matos pivoted from college basketball to football at USF as a walk-on, and his pro day 4.88 40 and notable punch have kept him on scouts’ radar. After a Dolphins stint ended by an offseason injury and roster cut, Indianapolis adds a length-driven developmental tackle with upside as a swing option and potential long-term asset.

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.

Denver sits at 4-2 entering Week 7, its best mark since 2016 and a strong sign that a postseason berth is within reach in a crowded AFC. A key factor is the head-to-head tiebreaker over the Los Angeles Chargers, which currently keeps them ahead in the division race despite the Chargers also sitting at 4-2. The Chiefs and Raiders trail, with Kansas City at 3-3 and Las Vegas 2-4, while a seven-team playoff field looms: four division winners plus three wild cards. If the season ended now, Denver would be the No. 7 seed. Up next: a home date with the New York Giants in Week 7.

Across the conference, Indianapolis (5-1), Pittsburgh (4-1), the Chargers, New England (4-2), Jacksonville (4-2), Buffalo (4-2), and Denver (4-2) sit in the mix. Kansas City is currently the No. 8 seed, still capable of climbing into the playoff picture either as a division winner or a wild card. Week 7’s matchup slate and late-season calendars will determine whether Denver can sustain momentum toward January football.
