Amari Cooper Jr. is worth a roster spot as a streamer following a dominant performance against the Jets. He is a strong runner after the catch, though his role is expected to be volatile, functioning similarly to Jalen McMillan as an extension of the run game with occasional deep-shot opportunities.

Bob Harris and Matt Waldman recommend adding Bam Knight in fantasy leagues due to ongoing running back attrition. While he lacks elite physical traits, he possesses good contact balance and has consistently earned production across multiple regimes; he is a recommended roster add if he receives touches.

Matt Waldman identifies Christian Watson as a high-upside superstar with the elite speed to take the top off any defense and generate massive plays, though he notes that Watson currently lacks consistent production.

Despite averaging only 7.1 points per game, Bob Harris advises fantasy managers not to give up on Colston Loveland, noting that his recent performance provides encouragement for future growth and he is occasionally the focus of the game plan.

Bob Harris identifies Darren Waller as a viable streaming option at tight end, noting his current production level of eight points per game.

Bob Harris identifies Michael Penix Jr. as the key player who unlocks the fantasy upside for Drake London, despite Penix not being a reliable fantasy starter himself.

Hunter Henry is currently averaging 8.9 fantasy points per game, placing him as the TE20.

Matt Waldman notes that JJ McCarthy has recently shown significant improvement, jokingly remarking that he has decided to be the best thing since sliced bread, which adds uncertainty to the team's starting quarterback situation.

Matt Waldman compares Jermaine Burton to Jeremy Bernard, projecting a volatile fantasy role where he serves as an extension of the run game with occasional intermediate plays and deep shots.

Boutte is utilized primarily on sideline routes where he excels at tiptoeing the boundary. Matt Waldman notes he was sharing Z-receiver duties in 12 personnel and was the primary Z in 11 personnel before Marvin Harrison Jr.'s arrival.

Following a two-touchdown game, Kyle Pitts remains a volatile fantasy asset. Bob Harris estimates a 60% chance of him emerging, but advises against overpaying for him in trades. He is currently the TE21 in points per game (8.3) and is viewed as a player who relies too heavily on being schemed open, leading to a pattern of occasional spike games followed by disappearances.

Matt Waldman expresses concern over McConkey's durability, noting that his tendency to compact his body when taking hits creates issues with his core and legs. While acknowledging he has WR1 upside, Waldman suggests his frame may not be able to handle the physical contact required at the NFL level and recommends he develop a better radar for avoiding heavy hits. Additionally, McConkey is struggling as part of a broader offensive malaise for the Chargers, who have scored only 84 total points through six games.

Matt Waldman considers Luther Burden a top-tier prospect, ranking him as the number one player in his top tier, slightly ahead of Matthew Golden.

Matt Waldman considers Malik Nabers a fantastic weekly fantasy starter. His elite ability to find open zones and make plays on the ball allows him to remain productive even when his full skill set isn't utilized; recent success is tied to the team moving him inside, which has led to high target volume.

Bob Harris and Matt Waldman are bullish on Harrison's outlook, expecting the team to force-feed him targets to justify the trade acquisition until he proves otherwise. Waldman notes Harrison is still learning the offense, played only 12 snaps with 4 targets in his debut, and currently ranks behind Nico Collins and Jaylen Nowell in the pecking order.

Matt Waldman ranks Matthew Golden highly among recent prospects, placing him above Tetairoa McMillan and Emeka Egbuka, and close to Luther Burden. Waldman dismisses negative comparisons to Mecole Hardman based on yards per route run, arguing that Golden's superior ball tracking and route-running technique make him a more complete receiver, potentially on a 'Tim Brown track'. Golden is making a strong argument to be the leading receiver on his team, though Waldman notes he needs to improve his consistency in securing the football to maximize his touchdown potential.

Michael Mayer is a viable streaming tight end, currently TE13 in points per game (10.1). Bob Harris gives him a slight edge over Kyle Pitts due to the Raiders' offensive scheme and his role as a secondary tight end. His usage is tied to his role as a blocker in the run game and his ability to execute short-game routes, a skill set Kirk Cousins has historically utilized effectively with tight ends.

Michael Penix Jr. is currently dealing with a rib injury and struggled in his recent performance, facing significant pressure and recording five sacks. While he shows potential against man coverage, he lacks high-end diagnostic skills and accuracy on middle-of-the-field throws, leading to multiple interceptable passes.

Matt Waldman views Savon Williams as a high-upside dynasty stash, noting his physical profile (6'4", 220 lbs) is comparable to Cordarrelle Patterson. Waldman considers him the best running back on the depth chart behind Josh Jacobs and suggests he could eventually see a breakout season similar to Patterson's transition.

Tommy Tremble is currently the TE8 on a points-per-game basis, scoring eight points per game. Bob Harris considers him a viable streaming option.

Matt Waldman identifies Travis Hunter as the only prospect ranked between Luther Burden and Matthew Golden in his evaluation, though he notes Hunter's potential as a shutdown corner could impact his offensive fantasy value.

Hutchinson previously shared Z-receiver duties with Kayshon Boutte and rotated frequently for both Boutte and Jaylen Nowell, though his role has been impacted by the integration of Marvin Harrison Jr.
