Before bidding, check for Tre Tucker (61% rostered).

Coming off a Week 7 bye: Stefon Diggs (79.8%), Dalton Kincaid (77.7%), Jakobi Meyers (66.6%), Khalil Shakir (57.8%) and Rachaad White (56.4%). If someone dropped one to cover the bye, he could be available now.

RB · Denver Broncos

Jonah Coleman

Bid 20–25% · 24% rostered

11 touches for 69 yards in his Week 7 return.

He led Denver's backs with 30 snaps. RJ Harvey played 16 and J.K. Dobbins played 14.
Sean Payton said they need to get Coleman more touches. Denver still uses all three backs, but Coleman’s chance to earn more work makes him my top priority.

WR · Cleveland Browns

KC Concepcion

Bid 12–18% · 43% rostered

Caught eight of 10 targets for 129 yards in Week 7.

He has led or tied for Cleveland's team lead in targets in five of seven games.
That target volume is why I’m putting him ahead of Omar Cooper. The breakout came after several games of steady involvement.

WR · New York Jets

Omar Cooper Jr.

Bid 12–18% · 35% rostered

11 catches for 218 yards and two touchdowns across Weeks 6 and 7.

Both games came after his return from injured reserve. Adonai Mitchell returned in Week 7, and Cooper still played 38 snaps to Mitchell's 26.
Cooper only had five targets in Week 7. The big plays make him exciting, but I wouldn't expect 100 yards every week.

WR · Philadelphia Eagles

Makai Lemon

Bid 6–10% · 37% rostered

Caught seven of eight targets for 67 yards and a touchdown in Week 7.

DeVonta Smith and Dontayvion Wicks both missed the game. Lemon led Philadelphia in targets, catches and receiving yards.
His immediate value depends on their health. If either returns, I'd lower expectations for another eight-target game.

WR · Washington Commanders

Antonio Williams

Bid 5–8% · 7% rostered

Caught three of four targets for 50 yards in Week 6. Washington was on bye in Week 7.

Terry McLaurin is out for the season. Williams played 45 snaps in the game McLaurin left, more than any other Washington receiver.
That creates an opportunity beyond Week 8, which moves him ahead of Douglas for me. Diggs, Burks and Okonkwo will also compete for those targets.

WR · Miami Dolphins

Caleb Douglas

Bid 5–8% · 10% rostered

Caught two of three targets for 70 yards and two touchdowns in Week 7.

This was his first game since Week 2, and he played 68% of Miami's offensive snaps.
Three targets keeps my bid modest. Both catches becoming touchdowns made this a much bigger fantasy day than the workload would usually produce.

RB · Cleveland Browns

Dylan Sampson

Bid 3–5% · 9% rostered

Nine touches for 77 yards in Week 7, his first offensive action of the season.

He played 46% of Cleveland’s offensive snaps and caught all three of his targets. Judkins had one target.
Judkins still led the backfield with 18 touches. Sampson’s receiving work gives him a way to contribute while Judkins is healthy.

TE · Jacksonville Jaguars

Brenton Strange

Bid 2–4% · 36% rostered

19 catches on 23 targets for 207 yards across Weeks 4–6.

Jacksonville was on bye in Week 7. Before that, Strange had at least five catches in three straight games.
For a team that needs a tight end, that steady target volume is worth a small bid coming out of the bye.

Tight-end alternative · Washington Commanders

Chig Okonkwo

Bid 2–4% · 5% rostered

Caught 11 of 13 targets for 129 yards across Weeks 5–6, before Washington’s Week 7 bye.

He led Washington with seven catches for 69 yards in Week 6. McLaurin’s season-ending injury leaves more work available in the passing game.
If Strange is taken, Okonkwo is my next tight-end option at a small bid.

Injury watch

One backfield I'm waiting on is Philadelphia. Barkley was limited and left with a back injury, but Dameon Pierce also left hurt. Pierce becomes more interesting if he's cleared and Barkley sits. If both miss, Elijah Mitchell enters the conversation. Neither outcome is confirmed yet.
