Outlook Seth McGowan
Seth McGowan at Minnesota — Clear Backup Duties in a Tough Road Test
Seth McGowan enters Week 7 healthy and operating as the primary backup behind Jonathan Taylor on the depth chart. Over his last two outings, McGowan has logged nine carries for 43 rushing yards, remaining strictly a change-of-pace option while spelling the starter on brief drives.
Facing an undefeated Vikings defense on the road in a low-scoring environment, McGowan's standalone fantasy value is minimal. Our weekly projection lands him at just 2.1 fantasy points on roughly three carries and 12 rushing yards. Fantasy managers should keep him firmly on the bench, as he serves primarily as a handcuff stash rather than a viable starting option.

Outlook Ted Hurst
Ted Hurst at Carolina — Expanded Target Opportunities Loom with Egbuka Sidelined
Hurst is primed for an expanded perimeter role with top receiver Emeka Egbuka ruled out due to injury. Listed as a starter on the outside, Hurst drew six targets in his last appearance and saw his fantasy roster rate spike to 11% this week as managers seek upside.
Our projections slate Hurst for 8.4 fantasy points, anticipating roughly three receptions for 39 yards. With Tampa Bay entering as road underdogs against the division-leading Panthers, game script could yield extra passing volume, cementing Hurst as a viable deep-league play or streaming flex candidate.
