10 Fantasy Football Stash Candidates Ahead of Week 7
As we hit the midpoint of the fantasy season, the waiver wire has grown thin, which means it’s officially stash season. Injuries and byes are forcing depth charts to shift, and savvy fantasy managers can find value before it hits next week’s waiver-wire rush. Several rookies are quietly expanding their roles, while a few veterans are resurfacing in favorable situations after early struggles.
This week’s list features running backs poised to benefit from committee uncertainty, wide receivers returning from injury into opportunity, and tight ends whose usage trends hint at future relevance.

Zonovan Knight, RB - Cardinals (12%)
The Michael Carter-as-RB1 experience was quite short-lived. Instead, Zonovan Knight was listed atop the depth chart, and even though Carter received the first touches of the game, they both split the work right down the middle, with Knight being the one who found the end zone. Things get a little stickier when we consider that the Cardinals have their bye in Week 8, with a potential return for Trey Benson coming soon afterwards. Regardless, Benson only has the **potential** to return; nothing is guaranteed. Knight or Carter could be plugged in for desperate managers as a spot-start, but the real matchup comes in Week 9, when they face a Cowboys run defense that has failed to stop anybody through six games.
