Fantasy Football Week 7 Disappointments (2026)
Key Points:
- Week 7 of the 2026 NFL season saw several notable fantasy football players underperform, identified as busts by Andersen Pickard, with some expected to bounce back in upcoming weeks.
- Quarterback busts included Daniel Jones (4.6 FPTS), Patrick Mahomes II (7.0 FPTS), and Bryce Young (9.4 FPTS), who struggled with yardage, accuracy, or turnovers but are anticipated to improve.
- Running backs Kenneth Walker III (9.7 FPTS) and Derrick Henry (5.9 FPTS) underwhelmed, with Henry continuing a two-week slump possibly due to Lamar Jackson's injury.
- Wide receivers such as Xavier Worthy (4.1 FPTS), Garrett Wilson (4.6 FPTS), and A.J. Brown (7.8 FPTS) disappointed, though many remain viable options with potential for rebound performances.
- Tight ends including Sam LaPorta (2.8 FPTS) and Cade Otton (0.0 FPTS) had poor showings, often due to limited targets or game plans, but some maintain mid-range TE1 status for future matchups.
