It's never too early to look toward your next matchup and a chance to bolster your fantasy football lineups. Here are some options to consider claiming on waivers ahead of Week 7, which is when six teams will be on bye.
Christian McCaffrey was enjoying yet another dominant day in Week 6, scoring a touchdown for the 15th straight game. Unfortunately for fantasy managers,. He returned to the game, inspiring hope, only to leave for good after a trip to the locker room.
Incumbent backup RB Elijah Mitchell had been activated prior to the game after dealing with a knee injury, but he just had two rush attempts for minus-3 yards in the contest. Instead, Jordan Mason carried the load after McCaffrey departed, carrying the ball five times for 27 yards and scoring a touchdown.
While it has looked like Mason has owned the backup role the past two weeks, 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan is no stranger to having multiple backs work in his offenses. With CMC nursing an injury, expect both Mason and Mitchell to get work if the star running back has to miss time. Mason appears to be the waiver priority, but Mitchell is also add-worthy for Week 7, depending on McCaffrey's status.
, but Atlanta's offense just completely stalled out in the fourth quarter which allowed the Commanders to burn clock and play it safe on their ensuing drives. Nonetheless, Howell threw three touchdowns in the game, his highest total of the season. Howell has some plus matchups coming up, at the New York Giants and vs. the Philadelphia Eagles' injury-riddled pass defense — the same Eagles he almost beat in Week 4. Howell's last three games have been better than some consensus top-10-ranked fantasy QBs. He's fully on the streaming radar — and maybe even more.Travis Kelce is the unquestioned No. 1 target for the Kansas City Chiefs. There's never been an argument there.
