After a great Week 5, the Week 6 fantasy football sleeper site was a turnaround and a failure. Josh Downs came through, even though it was pretty obvious, but little else went right. Ja’Lynn Polk was the wrong New England receiver to promote, Daniel Jones had another nightmare game at home, and we couldn’t find traction in the backfield.

There will be weeks like this. We are in week 7.

WR JuJu Smith-Schuster vs. 49ers (45% on roster)

I can’t believe Smith-Schuster is still available for this column, but he’s still floating around in over half of the Yahoo leagues. Are memories that short?

Smith-Schuster was galloping freely when we last saw him in Week 5 (7-130-0, eight goals), and let’s not forget that Smith-Schuster had 78 catches for 933 yards the last time he was a starter in Kansas City was – this was just two years ago. He already has the trust of Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes. If Travis Kelce doesn’t lead the Chiefs in targets this week, JuJu will. He should be used in every mid and deep fantasy football league. He is definitely welcome on all my teams.

QB Drake Maye (15%), WR DeMario Douglas (39%) vs. Jaguars in London

Maye’s debut wasn’t perfect, we have to make that clear. There were sacks; There were occasional bad decisions. But the speed of the professional game didn’t overwhelm him, and there were plenty of highlights too – three touchdown passes and a useful 38 rushing yards.

Now the duel becomes divine: the Jaguars’ defense. Jacksonville had the worst pass defense in the league by a wide margin last month.

Douglas could be an even easier fantasy ticket to crack. He has become a target eater in New England’s offense (nine scores in three of his last four games), and there was a touchdown in Week 6, along with increased downfield opportunities.

Generally, we think of Douglas as similar to New York’s Wan’Dale Robinson – a horizontal receiver – but perhaps there are more upsides than first thought. No matter what you think of Douglas in the long run, his fantasy stock is getting a boost with Maye in the middle and the leaky Jacksonville secondary on the other side. Get up early on Sunday.

RB Tyler Goodson vs. Dolphins (10%)

There are a lot of injury-plagued backlines in the league these days and this is another example. They can’t use Goodson until we know for sure that Jonathan Taylor (ankle) can’t be there. But if Taylor is scratched, we have to acknowledge that Goodson has been far more efficient than Trey Sermon this year (check out those yards-per-touch stats) and Sermon himself isn’t fully healthy.

Miami’s defense matches this record as it is the third-friendliest game for opposing running backs. This feels like the week the Colts let go of Goodson and see what he can do with a bigger opportunity.

RB Tyler Allgeier vs. Seahawks (38%)

No one expects Allgeier to steal the starting job in Atlanta — Bijan Robinson is that good — but the Falcons have made it clear that Allgeier deserves a place at the table. Atlanta’s No. 2 defender has racked up 55 touches in his last five games, and he found the end zone twice last week – once on a traditional touchdown, once on a two-point conversion.

In a normal week, Allgeier expects 7-12 touches. If he gets the hot hand or Robinson has a mishap, the role could easily expand. Seattle is also a plus for the opposing running backs, as the team scores the 11th most points.

Sometimes you have to get a little creative with your flexible plays as we move through transition and injury season. This could be one of those moments.

TEs Cade Otton vs. Ravens (36%), Noah Fant at Falcons (29%), Colby Parkinson vs. Raiders (20%)

We know many fantasy managers will be without Cole Kmet and Jake Ferguson this week, and we hate to lose set-and-forget options at the fantasy team’s most difficult position. So here are three possible tight end streamers to consider:

• Otton is a secondary piece of Tampa Bay’s passing game, but the Ravens have struggled with seam coverage and he had a touchdown last week.

• Fant’s role could be poised for an increase after scoring all 17 of his goals in the last four games. Andy Behrens would also mention another fact about Fant – he attended the University of Iowa, home of so many talented tight ends.

• Parkinson’s roster placement was likely held back due to the bye week, but he has scored 20 goals in his last two games and is a respectable TE11 in that span. All three of these players also work alongside competent quarterbacks, a time-honored way to break a tie.
