Drake May is the standout stock-up, pacing as a top fantasy QB with a favorable matchup slate and a diversified Patriots attack that fed multiple receivers. Cam Scataboo erupted for the Giants, while Rico Dott and Chuba Hubbard kept Carolina in wins with a backfield-by-committee approach that still favored volume. The backfield reshuffles continued with Kamani Vidal taking over in San Diego’s run game, complemented by Devin Achan and Jaylen Waddle supplying steady fantasy floors for Miami.

Injury news drove waiver-wires: Puka Nacua’s London outing and Kyler Murray’s crew faced questions, while PPR-friendly targets like Demario Douglas, Stefon Diggs, and Travis Etienne remained reliable in solid matchups. The Chiefs’ Kelce-Rashii Rice stack remained a staple, and the Jets’ offense added via Joe Flacco and Bryce Young/CJ Stroud debate left managers weighing ceiling vs. risk. Deliberate pickups included Bam Knight and Cameron Johnson, with Streaks and schedules guiding who gets the edge down the stretch.

Overreaction Monday surveys a damper-free NFL week: Herbert’s Chargers stage a legendary comeback against Miami with Johnson and Dicker leading the finish, while Tua’s late drive stirs locker-room chatter about leadership. Baker Mayfield’s heater in Tampa fuels MVP chatter, and Indiana’s stunning win at Oregon redefines a program’s trajectory. Colts sit 5-1, and trade-speculation, MVP talk, and elite quarterback play color fantasy angles for the weeks ahead.
