Shawn Siegele breaks down all of the biggest dynasty risers, works through blockbuster trades, and examines the current in-season impact of RotoViz dynasty tactics on squads looking to achieve Empire status.
Week 7 was my favorite fantasy week so far in 2025. Scoring exploded.

With the right squad — and the right squad could include an out-of-nowhere Oronde Gadsden (if you can call a TE with two gigantic collegiate receiving seasons “out of nowhere”) — you can make up huge gaps quickly. Fourteen teams are going on bye over the next three weeks. We’ll come out of Week 10 in an entirely different world.
