And what do we make of the Deshaun Watson rumors (8:40)? ... Players we love (9:45) and players to avoid (11:15) for Week 7. We love the QBs in the Falcons-Dolphins game but we'd like to avoid the Seahawks WRs.

Is it OK to start players on their bye week to avoid dropping good players? Of course it is! After we settle that, we'll give you the latest news (5:00) and get into some second half breakouts (10:00). Who is this year's David Montgomery? It might just be Montgomery himself!

There is some serious talent on bye this week, so let's hope you don't have to drop anyone too valuable to make a waiver claim for Week 7. Before we get to the waiver wire, how about Derrick Henry!? Is he a sell high? What would it take for the Henry manager to trade him away? ... Best waiver wire options in shallower leagues (6:45), in deeper leagues (12:50) and in "normal" leagues (13:40)! In shallower leagues, keep an eye out for J.D. McKissic, Zach Ertz, Dallas Goedert and Kadarius Toney. In deeper leagues, you've got the Browns and Ravens RBs to consider. And for the leagues we address most often, Sterling Shepard is a headliner but how does he compare to Devonta Freeman and D'Ernest Johnson? Also, keep in mind this might be the week to save your waiver wire priority (24:00), but we'll also have a FAB discussion if you need to make moves (30:00) ... News and notes (32:00) and the Top 3 at each position: QB (35:00), RB (37:15), WR (38:10), TE (41:00), DST (43:50) and Kicker. ... Recapping Bills-Titans (45:50), getting the Dropometer out (52:35) and taking a longer look at the waiver wire (55:00) with IDP suggestions at the very end of the show ...
