The OG Fantasy Show - Buy, Sell or Hold? | 2026 Dynasty Risers & Fallers + Week 7 outlook w/ Dog

AJ Brown received 11 targets last week but only caught 3-4 of them, with several being easy catches; the speaker expects to see improved connection and catch rate this week, noting it was a reacclimation issue rather than a career drop problem.

Quarterback has disappeared and become a major fantasy headache in his second year. Nix is QB22 on the year with only 1,000+ passing yards and six passing touchdowns through Week 6. The rushing upside that made him attractive in dynasty has completely evaporated—only one rushing touchdown and 37 yards on the season despite being nearly halfway through. Average depth of target sits at 4.9 yards, indicating all throws are around the line of scrimmage with minimal downfield passing. While a broken ankle from last year may explain some rushing decline, the lack of downfield passing and game script (Denver's strong defense allows them to win with minimal offensive production) are primary concerns. Holding is reasonable, but buying is not recommended unless acquiring him as a tier-down piece in a trade (e.g., Bo Nix + late first for Patrick Mahomes + third).

Brian Thomas Jr. is mentioned as a potential wide receiver target in trade discussions, with the Rams also mentioned as a possible destination. The context suggests he could be a fit for teams needing wide receiver help, though no specific stance or projection is provided.

Not getting targets in the Jacksonville offense; if moved, would redistribute the target hierarchy in the wide receiver room but not consolidate targets to Parker Washington; speaker was higher on BTJ over Parker Washington in the offseason but the eye test during training camp showed Parker as Trevor's first read.

Coming off a hamstring injury, Caleb Williams looked good last week and is expected to have big things ahead, especially playing at home at Soldier Field on Thursday night against New England.

Returned from injury and initially looked healthier, but Basha Tootin has dominated the backfield; Rodriguez gets limited work and occasional red zone/short yardage touches; not getting two-minute drill work due to pass-blocking limitations; timeshare is heavily skewed toward Tootin.

Christian Watson was expected to be a wide receiver two weeks ago, but the speaker did not anticipate the ceiling that has emerged. The speaker was doubting both Watson and Matthew Golden early on, but Golden's development has overshadowed Watson's role in recent weeks.

Trevion Henderson from Fantasy Pros projected him as a top-five wide receiver if healthy for a full season; speaker didn't trust the hamstring injury history but acknowledges the projection; Watson and Golden both benefit from Jordan Love's deep ball ability in a high-volume passing offense.

Corey Kiner received 11-12 touches in Week 6 and looked effective in the Patriots backfield, emerging as another contributor in the committee and complicating the backfield situation for dynasty purposes.

Wide receiver is underutilized in the Broncos offense despite being a talented option. Sean Payton's play-calling has not featured Sutton downfield, instead relying on short passes and line-of-scrimmage throws, limiting his fantasy ceiling.

DeAndre Swift's workload will be interesting to monitor this week with Monongani supposedly back healthier, which could affect Swift's touches and role in the Chicago offense.

Tight end is a monster in Aaron Rodgers' offense and receiving significant usage. Washington moves athletically despite his size and is a threat when the ball is in his hands, making him a valuable piece in the Steelers passing attack alongside Jeremy Bernard.

Devante Adams is out for the season with a patella injury; at 32-33 years old and still performing as a top-10 fantasy wide receiver this season, the injury could mark a significant career setback despite it not being an ACL, given the recovery timeline of nearly two months and his age.

Speaker had to sell Drake London; values Parker Washington in the same tier (WR10-12 range) but slightly higher; reaches for Parker in every redraft league and is happy with the decision.

Drake Maye is facing Caleb Williams and the Chicago Bears on Thursday night; the 2024 QB class matchup is a key focus for the game, with Maye healthy and ready to go.

Wide receiver was acquired by Philadelphia as part of an effort to replenish skill-position talent after trading AJ Brown. Stowers represents an investment in youth for the Eagles offense, but his development and role remain unclear given the team's overall offensive struggles and Jalen Hurts' down year.

Compared to Parker Washington in a rest-of-season fantasy points projection; speaker believes Parker Washington will outscore Garrett Wilson rest of season; both ranked in the WR9-11 range.

Kittle was expected to not be ready but has looked fine at tight end, performing well without apparent issues. The speaker expresses faith in Kittle's ability to contribute despite preseason concerns about his readiness.

Quarterback has underperformed in 2024 but remains a hold in dynasty despite current down year. Hurts has been a QB1 for five consecutive years and provides rushing upside that allows him to finish QB15 or better even in down passing environments. Through Week 6, he has only 100 rushing yards, which is a down rushing year for him, but his rushing floor and top-five week potential based on his legs make him valuable. Selling now is not advisable due to poor return value; buying is also not recommended given the unknown certainty moving forward and his current non-contribution to contending teams. The tush push rule change discussion caused some concern and prompted the speaker to sell a couple of shares earlier in the season.

James Cook has improved his ball security, learning to keep two hands on the ball, which has helped him solidify his role and performance.

Has been a revelation after finally returning healthy; has a squad that can block for him and has looked excellent; speaker bought in at mid-2026 second-round value last year and now has him as RB1 with Josh Jacobs on the mend; represents a successful comeback story from injury concerns.

Wide receiver is barely startable despite the Chargers trading a first-round pick to acquire him. Waddle's lack of production reflects the broader Chargers offensive dysfunction under Sean Payton, where the defense is so dominant that the offense only needs to score 12 points per game to win. This game script and play-calling philosophy (heavy reliance on short passes and line-of-scrimmage throws) have limited Waddle's downfield opportunities and fantasy production.

Running back was the speaker's RB2 in the 2026 rookie class and remains a high-conviction hold despite limited playing time this season. Coleman is one of the few Denver offensive pieces worth acquiring in dynasty, and the speaker is actively trying to acquire more shares. Coleman is already the speaker's second or third most-owned player in dynasty, indicating strong belief in his long-term upside despite current role limitations.

At 27 years old, facing age-related decline risk; running backs typically decline sharply after hitting 28-29 unless they're Derek Henry; speaker considering trading him away in dynasty due to age and the difficulty of finding a trade destination for a veteran back.

Jordan Love is currently ranked number three in the NFL with 1,684 passing yards; he's throwing touchdowns without excessive interceptions and has been executing consistently and precisely downfield. The speaker notes this is the offense Green Bay was expected to showcase last year and earlier this season, and it's finally clicking.

Jordan Love gets to play another defense that doesn't know how to play defense, suggesting a favorable matchup for the Green Bay quarterback against Detroit.

Has been coming along in the Jacksonville offense; speaker was fully on board with Brian Thomas Jr. over Parker Washington before training camp, but the eye test showed Parker as the primary target and big play guy.

Josh Jacobs is expected to return to the Green Bay offense, and the speaker is wondering how his return will affect the passing game's current success. Whether Jacobs plays this week or not, the team will attempt to run the ball, though the offensive line's lack of talent may limit effectiveness. The speaker believes the passing game will remain the primary focus despite the running back's return.

Quarterback has become a consistent disappointment despite having all the tools and weapons. Herbert has cycled through coaching changes, running backs, offensive line investments, and skill-position talent (Ladd McConkey, Trey Harris, Quinton Johnson) yet continues to underperform. Currently QB25 on the year with limited weapons—McConkey is not a true WR1, and Harris and Johnson appear to be WR3-caliber at best. The pattern of excuses has exhausted itself; at some point, the issue is Herbert's play itself. In redraft, he is droppable; in dynasty, he may be acquirable cheaply in superflex leagues but consistency and reliability remain major concerns.

Khalif Raymond is a solid wide receiver two flex option for Chicago who is slipping through the cracks; the volume is expected to be there in the offense.

Walker is described as a perfect addition to Patrick Mahomes' elite quarterback play, with comparisons to Barry Sanders for his running style. Despite injury concerns that made him a back-of-first-round value pick, the speaker expresses high satisfaction with the selection and notes that with Walker in the backfield, Kansas City now has legitimate top-five running back production alongside Mahomes, elevating the entire offense from previous backup-level production.

Wide receiver is not a true WR1 despite being the Chargers' primary receiving option. McConkey was productive in his rookie year but is better suited as a WR2 running routes across the middle of the field, collecting easy yardage. The Chargers lack a legitimate dominant outside receiver to pair with him, which limits his ceiling and the overall passing game efficiency.

Wide receiver was drafted with excitement due to his talent and stud-level potential, but a blood clot has thrown a wrench into his development timeline. Philadelphia has been trying to work him in and design plays for him, but the injury combined with Jalen Hurts' own struggles has delayed his fantasy contribution. Recovery and return to form will take longer than initially hoped.

The speaker was hoping Harrison would be traded to Kansas City but is satisfied he went to the Texans instead, viewing the trade as a positive outcome. Harrison is positioned as a down-the-field threat for a dominant quarterback, fitting the profile of elite wide receiver help for top-tier signal-callers.

Speaker is a Marvin Harrison Jr. guy and expects improvement in the Houston offense even in a crowded receiver room with Tank Dell and Nico Collins back; acquired him in a trade for Jonathan Taylor, viewing him as a long-term dynasty asset.

Matthew Golden is the speaker's favorite target in the Green Bay offense. The speaker was initially skeptical, viewing him as merely a speedster who benefited from college injuries, but has been impressed by his development this season. Golden's routes are diverse—downfield, over the middle, deep posts, and more than just go routes—and he nearly had three touchdowns and 200 yards against the Cowboys. The speaker has been tweeting about Golden non-stop for two weeks due to this emergence.

Shooting up dynasty boards as a riser; speaker underestimated Jordan Love's deep ball ability and Golden's speed as a match; ranked WR16 on Keep Trade Cut and could finish between WR13-WR20 if trajectory continues; part of a high-volume passing offense with Christian Watson.

Pittman remains sidelined but presents a role uncertainty concern for Jeremy Bernard upon return. The team extended Pittman and paid up for him, suggesting he will retain offensive importance, but his return timing and role definition remain unclear. For contenders, Pittman may be available at a discount (potentially late second-round pick value in 2027–2028) given his current absence from the field. Rebuilding teams should avoid investing in a 29-year-old wide receiver in this situation.

Ranked WR11 on Keep Trade Cut after a couple down weeks; has 46 targets, 26 receptions for 416 yards; Trevor Lawrence's first read with strong connection; reminiscent of Amin Ross St. Brown; could finish as back-end WR1 (WR9-11 range); speaker would pay 2027 first-round value for him.

Mahomes has looked good and stayed healthy, described as a night-and-day difference maker for Kansas City. With Kenneth Walker now in the backfield, Mahomes is positioned as a top-five quarterback with legitimate elite running back support, elevating the entire offense's fantasy ceiling.

Quarterback was acquired in a superflex dynasty trade where the speaker gave up a first-round pick, a first-round pick, and Daniel Jones to get Mahomes. The trade was motivated by belief in Mahomes' ability to return to elite form as he recovers from a knee injury. In superflex leagues where quarterback depth is scarce, Mahomes represents a high-value tier-up target, especially when paired with a down-year quarterback like Bo Nix or Jalen Hurts.

Wide receiver appears to be WR3-caliber at best in the Chargers offense. Johnson was one of the hoped-for external weapons to complement Ladd McConkey but has not developed into a legitimate WR2 option, limiting the Chargers' passing game depth.

Rice was high-profile coming into the season but never looked full speed during camp, appearing to not be fully recovered. The speaker notes his knee injury is getting aggravated and he's getting banged up elsewhere; the recommendation is to let him sit and get fully healthy rather than continue playing through injury.

Ramondre Stevenson remains the primary back in the Patriots backfield despite expectations that Trevion Henderson would spell him; the backfield continues to be a committee with multiple contributors including Corey Kiner.

Terry McLaurin is out for the season.

Liam Cohen has had effective running games with Travis Etienne (referred to as Travis A-chain) in the past with the Buccaneers and Jaguars; context for why Basha Tootin is thriving in the current Jacksonville offense under Cohen.

Wide receiver appears to be WR3-caliber at best in the Chargers offense. Harris was one of the hoped-for external weapons to complement Ladd McConkey but has not developed into a legitimate WR2 option, limiting the Chargers' passing game depth.

Trevion Henderson was expected to take over the Patriots backfield and spell Ramondre Stevenson, but this has not materialized; he is currently dealing with an ankle injury, and the emergence of Corey Kiner with 11-12 touches in Week 6 further complicates the backfield situation, making it a frustrating dynasty asset.
