Bye Week Look-Ahead2026 NFL Week 7

Teams on Bye

Buffalo Bills, Jacksonville Jaguars, Los Angeles Chargers, Washington Commanders.

Starters on Bye

• Josh Allen (QB, BUF). Starts in nearly every lineup, Purdy takes over QB1 with Allen on bye.
• James Cook III (RB, BUF). Locked-in RB1 in almost all 12-team leagues, James Cook III, Bills, RB6 in rest-of-season ranks.
• Omarion Hampton (RB, LAC). Starts in most leagues as a RB2, though his trade value has slipped lately.
• Ladd McConkey (WR, LAC). Weekly WR2 or flex starter in most rooms.
• Jayden Daniels (QB, WAS). Starts in roughly a third of lineups, so plenty of managers need a one-week QB.

Fill-ins to Add

• C.J. Stroud (QB, HOU). Available in most leagues at 43.8% Rostered. He hosts the Giants as a touchdown-plus favorite, and he just completed 70.6% of his pass attempts for 312 yards, three touchdowns, and 23 fantasy points against Jacksonville.
• Kendre Miller (RB, NO). Available in most leagues at about 33% rostered. Travis Etienne is out with a hamstring, and last week Miller played the most snaps (44.4%) of New Orleans' RBs and handled 20 carries, compared to seven for Kamara, so he should see volume again versus Pittsburgh in Paris.
• Omar Cooper Jr. (WR, NYJ). Available almost everywhere at 2.9% Rostered. He returned from injury and posted six receptions on seven targets for 103 receiving yards, a touchdown, and 22.3 PPR fantasy points, and the Jets are home favorites by 4.5 over Miami.
