Featuring Jaxson Dart, Drake Maye, and more

October 14, 2025

Yooo!

Hope you enjoyed the MNF doubleheader. Swift secured the W for me to complete the 6-0 sweep. Here’s a replay of me on his 55-yard receiving TD last night:

Enough small talk. Let’s get to 5 players trending up as we head into week 7.

Giddy up.

Going to bring back a condensed version of this section each day, shouting out some great content in the industry:

QB - Jaxson Dart (NYG)

  • Dart has emerged as a transformative force for the Giants' offense, demonstrating his value by achieving top-12 fantasy results in two of his first three starts as the team's quarterback. His performance has given the franchise renewed optimism about their future.

  • Even without key receiver Malik Nabers, Dart managed to deliver his strongest fantasy showing to date against a formidable Eagles defense in Week 6, showcasing his ability to produce regardless of circumstances.

  • Dart's rushing capabilities have established a reliable floor for his fantasy production, positioning him as a borderline low-end QB1/high-end QB2 option regardless of matchup, including his upcoming game against the Broncos.

  • Our take: I’m sure there will be a few more bumps along the road this year (like the New Orleans game), but the Giants look like a new team with the youth movement of Dart and Skattebo. The Broncos are as tough as it gets when it comes to defensive matchups. This will be a good barometer game for Dart.

QB - Drake Maye (NE)

  • Drake Maye is currently performing at an elite level, on pace to throw for over 4,500 passing yards and 30 passing touchdowns this season. His dual-threat ability is evident as he's also projected to add over 400 rushing yards and six rushing touchdowns.

  • Maye has established himself as the QB5 on the season while leading the Patriots to victories. His fantasy production has been consistent enough to warrant consideration as a locked-in QB1 for the remainder of the season.

  • Despite Maye's strong performance, his fantasy impact on teammates has been unpredictable, with different receivers like Hunter Henry, Kayshon Boutte, Stefon Diggs, and DeMario Douglas taking turns having productive games.

  • Our take: There aren’t many QBs playing better than Maye right now, and he’s knocking on the door for a top-5 dynasty QB nod. The Patriots have one of the easier schedules the rest of the season, so there’s not really any sign of things slowing down.

WR - Drake London (ATL)

  • Drake London dominated in Week 6, hauling in 10 of 16 targets for 158 yards and a touchdown across 34 routes. According to Next Gen Stats, London was targeted on nearly half of his routes and accounted for 74.3% of the Falcons' team air yards, with his receptions coming in both short areas and intermediate ranges.

  • London has been on a hot streak, averaging 13 targets, nine receptions, and 134 receiving yards per game over the last two weeks. This production comes after the Falcons fired their previous WR coach before Week 4 in an effort to improve offensive WR production.

  • The schedule looks favorable for London going forward, with the Falcons having a top-10 remaining strength of schedule. The article suggests buying London now, particularly with the potential for continued strong production in the offense.

  • Our take: London was a darkhorse WR1 overall candidate coming into the year. The first 3 weeks were slow, but since the coaching change mentioned above, he’s put up 25 and 31.8 ppr points in his last 2 games. He already has two 15+ target games this year (only 5 games). I’d keep buying where I can.

WR - Luther Burden III (CHI)

  • Luther Burden III showed significant improvement coming out of the Bears' Week 5 bye, catching all four of his targets for 51 yards during their victory over the Commanders on Monday evening. This performance marked a positive shift from his previous inconsistent showings, where he had only caught four passes for -2 yards in three games outside of his Week 3 breakout against the Cowboys.

  • In Week 3 against Dallas, Burden demonstrated his explosive potential by tallying 101 yards and a score on just three receptions, showcasing the big-play ability that makes him an intriguing fantasy option. While he was sitting behind the No. 3 WR Olamide Zaccheaus, Burden saw his target share increase in Week 6, indicating a growing role in the offense.

  • With DJ Moore being taken to the hospital following Monday's contest, Burden could find himself in a more prominent role in the near future, potentially elevating his fantasy value significantly if Moore misses any time.

  • Our take: Burden still hasn’t cracked a 30% snap share yet this season, but he already has a WR10 finish on his resume. You can’t really trust him in your lineups with his limited playing time right now, but he has shown some signs of life, and if DJ Moore (or any other WR) misses some time, that could be his opportunity to carve out a more significant role in the offense.

TE - Tyler Warren (IND)

  • Tyler Warren is being vaulted into the top tight end tier with Trey McBride and Brock Bowers, driven by a 22.2% target share, 29 receptions on 166 routes, and leading tight ends with 198 yards after the catch

  • Despite fewer routes than Trey McBride’s 225, Tyler Warren has more receiving yards and 2.23 yards per route run, signaling elite efficiency and a central role in the Colts offense

  • Analysts say Warren should be nearly inacquirable in tight end premium leagues and project a path to Trey McBride-like volume and 15 to 16 PPR points per game upside in premium formats

  • Trade talk heat check includes Tyler Warren versus Rashee Rice in 0.5 TE premium leaning Rice narrowly, but any higher premium pushes decisively to Warren; Warren over T.J. Hockenson in current dynasty dynamics was endorsed

  • Bold take the ascent is still underway and Warren could be 1A or 1B in dynasty tight end rankings soon, with the show urging managers to react quickly before the market fully prices him in

  • Our take: When all the top TEs are healthy, it’s Bowers, McBride, Warren, and then everybody else in my mind. Let’s see how high his ceiling gets the rest of this year. It should be fun to watch.

Yesterday’s poll results:

🥇 Best subscriber comment (4th round pick): “This is just a flash. Hampton is a 3 down back and Vidal will fade into the background later in the season and into next season.”

Our take: I’d probably settle for a 4th as a seller and be willing to pay a 3rd as a buyer. That’s in line with most other handcuff RBs. It’s hard to envision much upside outside of a Hampton injury.
