It was another wild ride for Fantasy football managers in Week 7, with breakout performances, unexpected heroes, and some frustrating disappointments rewriting the landscape. We kicked things off with a shootout between two of the best young quarterback in the NFL. Drake Maye continued his incredible hot streak, putting together another monster performance, while Caleb Williams showcased his growing potential with back-to-back 300-yard passing games.
But Week 7 wasn't all good news, as several highly anticipated players failed to live up to expectations, leaving fantasy managers searching for answers heading into Week 8. Injuries, inconsistent usage and disappointing offensive performances once again played a major role in determining fantasy outcomes. Let's take a deeper dive into the Fantasy stockwatch after Week 7 heading into Week 8.
Etienne is eligible to come off IR in Week 9 (the Saints have a bye in Week 8). This team cannot run the football and desperately needs Etienne to inject some life into the run game. I think he'll be a decent RB2 going forward (assuming he is back in Week 9).
Collins just had his second straight game with only five targets, and today he turned those targets into just 2.6 PPR Fantasy points. In Week 6, Collins was shadowed by Travis Hunter. This week, he was shadowed by Deonte Banks.
It wasn't the best day for C.J. Stroud (17-28/153/2), and I think I'd be buying low on Collins, but that's with the expectation of him being a WR2 for the rest of the season. Right now, I can't treat him like a WR1.
Cam Skattebo led the way with 17/124/1 and one reception, but he split touches pretty evenly with Tyrone Tracy Jr. before Tracy left with an injury. After the injury, Devin Singletary factored in. My guess is that Skattebo will split with Tracy if Tracy is healthy after the bye week.
