Wide receivers are drawing attention ahead of Week 7 as injuries and bye weeks thin rosters across fantasy leagues.
Houston's Noel has found the end zone in consecutive contests and will face the Giants on Sunday after posting 20.7 fantasy points against Jacksonville. Dallas rookie Flournoy has also scored in back-to-back weeks, recording 17 points against Green Bay while passing Jake Ferguson as the team's No. 3 option. He pulled in 7 of 9 passes for 40 yards and a TD.
New York's Omar Cooper Jr. is available in two-thirds of leagues after producing 22.3 points in his first full game against New England. Miami's Washington has reached double digits for three straight weeks, securing 16 of 23 targets while adding 26 rushing yards on 5 carries.
"We're going heavier on wide receivers this week," analyst Matt Bowen said.
Pittsburgh quarterback Aaron Rodgers, rostered in 47.2 percent of leagues, has thrown multiple touchdowns in each of his past four games and will face the Saints in Paris. New Orleans running back Kendre Miller set a career high with 20 carries in Week 6 and has scored in 2 of 5 games this season.
