By now you've possible settled in together with your 2026 fantasy soccer rosters and know what you have got and what wants enchancment. We’ve got 4 groups on bye once more in Week 7, with the Payments, Commanders, Chargers and Jaguars not in motion. That may create loads of lineup voids, on high of an ever-growing harm record, forcing you to make some streaming choices off the wire.
We're right here to supply up a couple of early choices as we go into Week 7.

Omar Cooper Jr., WR, Jets (4% rostered on Yahoo)
The Jets acquired the rookie WR out of Indiana again within the lineup in Week 6 towards the Patriots after he missed 4 straight video games with an ankle harm. Cooper's presence was instantly felt with a 6-103-1 line, good for 19.3 fantasy factors on the day. Isaiah Williams and Tim Patrick had been taking part in elevated snaps however that modified with Cooper again, which is smart given the draft capital invested within the younger wideout.
It's unclear when Adonai Mitchell (finger) will return, which bodes nicely for Cooper working reverse Garrett Wilson within the Jets offense. We all know New York can be in optimistic passing scripts most weeks as nicely.
We might not see Cooper do that each week as a result of, nicely, it's nonetheless the Jets. However the expertise and alternative are there, so it could be smart to chase that upside by including Cooper in deeper codecs.
Jaylin Noel, WR, Texans (7% rostered)
The Texans offense got here alive in a tricky matchup towards the Jaguars in London in Week 6, scoring 34 factors in a last-second win. If that pattern continues and C.J. Stroud retains this up, you're going to desire a piece of this unit going ahead.
Noel has quietly strung collectively three straight video games with double-digit fantasy factors, producing 3-85, 5-41-1 and 4-107-1 over that stretch. The amount stays powerful to belief however Noel is doing essentially the most along with his targets and alternatives, which ought to assist his case for extra snaps. Houston has a winnable matchup towards the Giants in Week 7 earlier than the bye, which is hard timing for this pickup. Noel provides you a robust upside flex play in PPR codecs.
Travis Hunter, WR, Jaguars (7% rostered)
In persevering with our pattern of younger huge receivers to focus on off the wire, Hunter had the second finest offensive sport of his younger profession in Week 6. Hunter turned 4 targets into 4 catches for 59 yards and a TD towards the Texans to complete with 13.9 fantasy factors. In codecs that additionally depend defensive stats, Hunter additionally had three tackles (one solo), a move defensed and an interception.
In the event you're in an IDP league and Hunter remains to be floating round, seize him instantly. We don't know if this offensive utilization goes to proceed, however clearly the Jags ought to make Hunter extra of a precedence within the passing sport. He might grow to be the third/fourth possibility in an above-average passing sport.
Just like Cooper, Hunter is an upside seize off the wire, a participant who might pay dividends later after the Week 7 bye.
