- Giants rookie Jaxson Dart profiles as a top add after four productive starts with rushing floor utility and shrinking availability across leagues.
- Chargers tight end Oronde Gadsden II rises to premium pickup status following 232 yards on 14 catches over his last two games and a record early-career yardage pace for the position.
- Joe Flacco remains a viable short-term streamer for the Bengals after a 342-yard, three-TD Week 7 and a favorable upcoming schedule that features several bottom-10 pass defenses.
- Managers seeking depth can look to Bears back Kyle Monangai’s growing role, Chiefs rookie Brashard Smith’s career-high usage, Broncos receiver Troy Franklin’s target volume, and Panthers rookie Xavier Legette’s spike to 11 targets.
