"Fantasy Football Week 7 begins Thursday and fantasy managers must replace Buffalo Bills and Baltimore Ravens in this week's lineups. Two teams. Meh. That's nothing compared to next week, when six teams will not be playing. They are the Detroit Lions, Las Vegas Raiders, Los Angeles Rams, Arizona Cardinals, Seattle Seahawks and Jacksonville Jaguars. In fantasy, these weeks are known as bye-mageddons, and fantasy managers should aim to plan for this inevitability, if possible."
"Quarterback Jared Goff and Sam Darnold are the highest-scoring QBs (entering Week 7) serving a Week 8 bye, with Goff rostered in more than 75% of leagues. New York Giants rookie Jaxson Dart (41.7%) may not feel like an appealing option for Week 7 at the Denver Broncos, but he has a rematch with the sputtering Philadelphia Eagles in Week 8. Dart scored 23.6 PPR points in Week 6 against the Eagles. Add him now and keep him around."
"Start with this week's top pickup, Los Angeles Chargers fill-in Kimani Vidal (58.5%). Add him now before you miss out. Houston Texans rookie Woody Marks (56%) should see an uptick in volume this week, and in Week 8 he faces the San Francisco 49ers. After that, it is mostly about backups, with Pittsburgh Steelers surprise Kenneth Gainwell (59.5%), the Atlanta Falcons' Tyler Allgeier (34.2%), the Tennessee Titans' Tyjae Spears (27%) and New Orleans Saints' Kendre Miller (23.3%)."

New York Giants rookie Jaxson Dart scored 23.6 PPR points in Week 6 and has a favorable Week 8 rematch. Other quarterback targets include J.J. McCarthy, Michael Penix Jr. and Joe Flacco. Running back targets include Kimani Vidal, Woody Marks and several backups like Kenneth Gainwell, Tyler Allgeier, Tyjae Spears and Kendre Miller.
