Stroud has surged since Collins returned in Week 4, averaging 22.3 fantasy points per game with a 71.7 percent completion rate and 306.7 passing yards per game. The Texans quarterback has posted multiple touchdown throws in two of three contests and ranks as a QB1 for Week 7 against the Giants. His receiving corps now includes Collins back, Noel on a three-game double-digit scoring streak, and Dell expected to return.
Coker has emerged as a locked-in fantasy starter, reaching 14-plus points and nine-plus targets in three full games. The 6-foot-3, 213-pound rookie posted 15.7 points against the Eagles in Week 6 and operates as the No. 2 option opposite McMillan.
Bernard, rostered in 69.5 percent of ESPN leagues, exploded for 25.7 points against the Buccaneers in Week 6 with 11 catches on 12 targets for 87 yards and his first touchdown. He has drawn 21 targets over the past two weeks while stepping into the No. 2 role behind Metcalf.
Loveland delivered 18.5 points against the Falcons in Week 6 and offers TE1 value in 10- and 12-team formats. Cooper posted 22.3 points in his first full game against the Patriots, while Allen has averaged 14.7 points over the past three weeks with nine-plus targets each contest.
One observer warned against reading too much into recent results, noting that overhyping a single performance can create problems in fantasy, particularly with rookies.
