Fantasy Football Risers and Fallers for Week 7 of the 2026 NFL Season

The 2026 NFL season is progressing into Week 7, prompting a review of notable fantasy football risers and fallers. Key player performances and changes in team dynamics are influencing fantasy values.

Travis Hunter achieved a season-high 16.3% route participation in Week 6, catching all four targets for 59 yards and a touchdown. Despite the Jaguars' preference for his defensive skills, his offensive potential is becoming increasingly evident, and the bye week may provide opportunities for greater involvement.

Marvin Harrison Jr. debuted with a 25.7% route participation for the Texans, showing promise with a 44% targets-per-route-run rate. His connection with quarterback C.J. Stroud could enhance his impact as the Texans shift towards a more pass-heavy strategy. Germie Bernard is emerging as a strong waiver wire option, following a solid performance against the Buccaneers. Meanwhile, Brian Thomas Jr. has struggled recently, failing to catch a pass in his last two games, but a potential trade could revitalize his career. Lastly, Josh Downs has not met expectations, with limited production in recent outings.
