Week 7 Dynasty Fantasy Football Risers
*These players have moved up the Draft Sharks dynasty rankings over the last week. Check back each week as we list the fantasy-relevant changes.
Jaxson Dart, Giants
Let’s focus on the rushing.
Since taking over in Week 4, Dart’s tallied a position-high 55.6 rushing yards per game. That includes seven runs of 10+ yards, with 58 of his 167 yards coming on designed attempts.
Dart’s current pace isn’t sustainable, but it’s clear that ground game production will stick around in the pros. And we’re at least optimistic about his outlook as a passer – especially once the Giants get Malik Nabers back in 2026 – and add help along the O-line.
Cam Skattebo, Giants
Tyrone Tracy returned for Week 6, but Skattebo didn’t mind. The rookie compiled 98 yards and 3 TDs on 19 attempts (a 61% team share).
Maybe Skattebo’s physical style doesn’t suggest a 5+ year run as a fantasy factor. But as a 23 year-old rookie, that’s not much of a concern right now.
He’s creeping up our dynasty RB rankings.
Orande Gadsden, Chargers
It’s not often you see a Round 5 rookie TE gaining fantasy relevance. But Gadsden’s quickly rose to the top of the Chargers’ depth chart.
He’s tallied a 69% route rate over the past two weeks, culminating in a career-best 68-yard Week 6 at Miami.
The Syracuse product brings the size, movement skills, and role to continue the momentum. He could certainly slide into the long-term No. 3 role once Keenan Allen departs (likely in 2026). And you have to love that he’s tied to a top-end QB in Justin Herbert.
Week 7 Dynasty Fantasy Football Fallers
*These players have moved down our rankings over the last week.
Mark Andrews, Ravens
Andrews has topped 30 yards only once all season. His 1.29 yards per route run would mark a clear career low.
Now, you can point to recent absence of Lamar Jackson as reason for the downturn. But note: Isaiah Likely saw a larger share of the routes than Andrews in Week 6.
At 30 years old – and playing on an expiring contract – Andrews moves forward with an uncertain fantasy future.
Week 6 Dynasty Fantasy Football Risers
Emeka Egbuka, Buccaneers
Egbuka’s performing like the runaway rookie of the year.
In five weeks, he’s racked up:
- 25 catches
- 445 yards
- 5 TDs
That’s a full-season pace of 85-1,513-17.
Now, he won’t reach the yardage or TD total. And it’s important to note that he hasn’t played a game alongside Mike Evans and Chris Godwin.
Still, it’s striking to see how the rookie’s excelled. He leads the NFL in deep catches (8), yards (291), and TDs (4). Egbuka’s truly excelled alongside Baker Mayfield, who’s playing like one of the NFL’s best QBs.
Week 6 Dynasty Fantasy Football Fallers
Chuba Hubbard, Panthers
Hubbard missed Week 5 with a calf strain, but that’s not why he makes this list.
Well, not exactly.
Hubbard’s absence allowed Rico Dowdle to step in and run for 200 yards against Miami. Strong matchup aside, it was the type of performance that should earn Dowdle more work going forward. And that’s not just my take.
Plus, Hubbard’s early-season performance has underwhelmed alongside a hot and (mostly) cold Bryce Young. Among 29 RBs with 50+ carries, Hubbard ranks:
- 20th in yards per carry
- 23rd in yards after contact per attempt
- 28th in PFF’s Elusive Rating
Antonio Gibson, Patriots
Gibson sustained an ACL tear in Sunday’s win over Buffalo, meaning he’ll be questionable for Week 1 of next season.
From Week 1 to Week 4, Gibson saw infrequent rotational work:
- 17% of the snaps
- 23% of the carries
- 10% of the routes
- 2% of the targets
Gibson’s current contract expires in 2027, but he can be safely dropped from all but the deepest dynasty rosters.
Week 5 Dynasty Fantasy Football Risers
Woody Marks, Texans
Marks took over Houston’s backfield in Week 4. That move always seemed inevitable, given the underwhelming form we’ve seen from Nick Chubb.
Marks' prospect profile didn't suggest a future lead back, but recall that Houston traded up to land him in Round 3. Joe Mixon's health remains a mystery as well, giving the rookie a long runway to establish his value.
Brashard Smith, Chiefs
Smith looked explosive on a couple of touches against Baltimore. After the win, HC Andy Reid suggested there’s a larger role in the rookie’s future.
"Nags (Matt Nagy) is trying to increase (Brashard) Smith's reps every week and put him in a position where he can do some things, Reid said via Chiefs writer Charles Goldman."
Kareem Hunt and Isiah Pacheco certainly aren’t the long-term solutions in Kansas City’s backfield. Smith at least has a shot to capture a change of pace role for an offense that projects as top-5 when healthy.
Quentin Johnston, Chargers
Johnston is suddenly trending up as a dynasty asset.
The 24-year-old has flashed a high ceiling and looks like a completely different player. He's notched a solid 2.16 yards per route run and 15.3 yards per catch. He's the WR4(!) through the first month.
Johnston’s environment – particularly the precence of Justin Herbert – suggests he can remain productive moving forward.
Week 5 Dynasty Fantasy Football Fallers
*These players have moved down the dynasty ranks over the last week.
Chase Brown, Bengals
Brown ranks 31st among RBs in PPR scoring. That number would certainly rise had Joe Burrow not suffered a Week 2 toe injury. Even still, Brown’s underwhelmed in yards per carry (2.3), yards after contact per attempt (2.12), and PFF Elusive Rating (37.5).
At this pace, it’s possible he loses some backfield work.
Tyreek Hill, Dolphins
Hill sustained an ugly knee injury in Monday’s win over the Jets. All dynasty owners can do is hold him and hope for the best in his recovery. Realistically, though, Hill won’t be a name to count on next season.
Ladd McConkey, Chargers
The fast start from Quentin Johnston certainly hasn’t been matched by McConkey. The latter owns just a 19% target share while drawing targets on 17% of his routes run. Last year, those figures were 27% and 29%, respectively.
We'll see if he can rebound in the coming weeks. For now, though, QJ's stunning rise at least adds some risk to McConkey's dynasty outlook.
Week 3 Dynasty Fantasy Football Risers
Omarion Hampton, Chargers
Najee Harris’ season-ending Achilles injury paves the way for Hampton to establish workhorse usage. The rookie brings the talent to stick as a top-shelf RB1.
Trey Benson, Cardinals
Benson will step into a lead back role after the Cardinals placed James Conner on IR. While Benson isn't the most disciplined runner, he brings the size, athleticism, and college production to forecast a high ceiling over the next few months.
Rome Odunze, Bears
Through three weeks, Odunze ranks third among WRs in PPR points. He's tied for the league lead in receiving scores (4). He's already garnered four red zone targets and 17 of 10+ air yards.
The flashes from Caleb Williams have proven excellent. And there’s certainly room for Odunze to continue producing at a high level as the unit gains more comfort in HC Ben Johnson’s system.
Week 3 Dynasty Fantasy Football Fallers
James Conner, Cardinals
Conner needs foot surgery after suffering an ugly injury on Sunday. At 31 in May, he's far from a lock to remain Arizona's lead back in 2026.
Najee Harris, Chargers
Harris' torn Achilles will end his season and put his 2026 effectiveness in question. At 28 in March, his days as a fantasy contributor could be over.
Calvin Ridley, Titans
Ridley’s already a fading dynasty asset at 30 years old (31 in December). But he’s off to a shockingly poor start, snagging only 8 of 21 targets for 111 scoreless yards.
We'll see how the rest of this season unfolds. At this point, though, the veteran isn't guaranteed to return to the Titans in 2026.
Week 1 Dynasty Fantasy Football Risers
Jacory Croskey-Merritt, Commanders
The Commanders traded Brian Robinson in August. Then, ahead of Week 1, the team made veteran competition Chris Rodriguez a healthy scratch. The result? A 10-carry day for JCM, one that yielded 82 yards and 1 score. His role could grow as the season progresses, leaving open the possibility of a further rise.
Travis Etienne and Bhayshul Tuten, Jaguars
The Jags traded Tank Bigsby to the Eagles. That solidifies Etienne’s grip on the lead back role while boosting the touch outlook for Tuten. Etienne also went off for 143 yards on 16 Week 1 carries.
The rookie already looked poised for long-term value given his athleticism and performance at Virginia Tech.
Kayshon Boutte, Patriots
Boutte posted a 100-yard game in the opener. The 23-year-old also led New England WRs in snap share (82%), signaling that this might not be a one-week fluke.
Elic Ayomanor, Titans
Notably, Ayomanor played ahead of veteran Tyler Lockett – and fellow rookie Chimere Dike – in the opener. In fact, Ayomanor played nearly 80% of the snaps. This followed a buzz-filled training camp.
He brings the size and skill set to develop into a long-term starter for QB in Cam Ward.
Week 1 Dynasty Fantasy Football Fallers
Kaleb Johnson, Steelers
Johnson still sits inside the top-30 of our dynasty RB rankings. But it’s unquestionably a disappointment that he drew only one carry (and two snaps) in the season opener. Kenneth Gainwell played the clear No. 2 RB role behind Jaylen Warren.
Tyreek Hill, Dolphins
Hill (and the entire Dolphins offense) laid an egg in Week 1. That followed an offseason of ominous vibes out of Miami.
Now, Hill’s dealing with a legal situation that could eventually turn into missed games. The 31-year-old could also get dealt – and find himself in a less-certain spot for targets – before the deadline.
