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.
