The Houston Texans are looking to establish the run in Week 7 against the Seattle Seahawks. Through five games, Houston ranks 16th in rushing offense, but with Nick Chubb and rookie Woody Marks both running well, that number could rise soon. Over the past three weeks, Chubb and Marks have split snaps nearly evenly, with the rookie holding a slight edge (49% to 43%). Coming out of the bye, there's reason to believe Marks could see an uptick in touches, following a trend seen with other rookies following the team's bye week. That said, the Seahawks boast one of the league's top run defenses, making this a tough matchup for both backs. Still, Chubb and Marks each carry FLEX appeal in Week 7, with Marks offering the higher ceiling due to his growing role.

Los Angeles Rams kicker Joshua Karty has struggled with field goals in recent weeks, and as a result, he has slipped off the fantasy radar heading into Week 7 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Karty is just 2-for-4 on field goals over his last two games, and he's 8-for-12 over his last four. He has just one made field goal from beyond 50 yards this year. Furthermore, he has missed two extra-point attempts. All in all, the results have been disappointing from Karty, who ranks as the overall K22 in his second pro season. It's not like Week 7 is a get-right opportunity for him, either. The Jaguars have allowed the second-fewest fantasy points to opposing kickers in 2025. He should be left on waivers in most leagues.

Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams is riding high as he leads the team on a three-game win streak. Through five games, Williams has completed 98 of 159 passes for 1,179 yards and nine touchdowns, while throwing just two interceptions. The second-year quarterback is also contributing with his legs, adding 108 rushing yards and two scores on 28 carries. Williams is averaging 20.8 fantasy points per game, ranking as the QB7 in fantasy through six weeks. He draws a favorable Week 7 matchup against the New Orleans Saints, who have allowed the sixth-most fantasy points to quarterbacks this season. The Saints' defense struggled mightily in Week 6, surrendering 261 yards and three touchdowns to Drake Maye on just 18 completions. With another soft matchup on deck and Chicago's offense clicking, Williams profiles as a strong mid-QB1 for Week 7.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Jordan Whittington has occupied a depth role for most of this season, but he could leap onto the fantasy radar as a solid streamer in the WR3/flex range this week. Previously, Whittington has split No. 3 receiver duties with Tutu Atwell. However, Puka Nacua (ankle) has been ruled out, which could put Whittington in line to start against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Whereas Atwell is more of a deep threat whose skill set aligns with a certain group of play calls, Whittington can be an every-down receiver. He played 92 percent of the snaps last week, and while his final stat line was underwhelming (four targets, three catches, 23 yards), he should be able to post better results in Week 7 with a full week of practice as the No. 2 receiver under his belt. Davante Adams will be Stafford's primary focus in the passing game, but we wouldn't be surprised if Whittington is next in the pecking order. He's facing a Jaguars defense that has allowed the eighth-most fantasy points to wide receivers in 2025. Therefore, he's a solid low-end WR3/flex in deeper leagues.

The Philadelphia Eagles have reportedly informed teams that they will not be trading wide receiver A.J. Brown, despite recent speculation surrounding his future. Brown has shown frustration in the offense, fueling rumors of a potential move. His frustration is understandable, as he is currently on pace for career lows in yards per game (45.7), touchdowns (1), and fantasy points (9.7). Still, with the Eagles in contention for another championship run, it makes little sense for them to part ways with their top receiving weapon. From a fantasy perspective, Brown has become a riskier week-to-week option, but his elite talent and explosive upside keep him in WR2 territory every week.

Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee has re-emerged as a potential fantasy option heading into Week 7 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Higbee is coming off a solid showing in which he caught four passes for 40 yards and a touchdown. Furthermore, the Rams will be without Puka Nacua (ankle) on Sunday, which will put Higbee and Jordan Whittington in line to operate as Matthew Stafford's second-favorite targets behind Davante Adams. Higbee's snap share will likely remain around 60 percent, but we wouldn't be surprised to see him handle at least five targets, giving him a chance to make an impact in fantasy football. He's not a long-term solution in your lineups, but with Nacua sidelined this weekend, Higbee can be a decent streamer. For what it's worth, the Jaguars have allowed the 11th-most receiving yards to tight ends in 2025.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin (fibula) was not spotted at Saturday's practice ahead of the team's Monday night matchup against the Detroit Lions. Godwin suffered a fibula fracture in 2024 that required two surgeries, and the lingering effects of that injury continue to impact him. Godwin appears to be trending in the wrong direction for Week 7, and with the Buccaneers' bye week coming in Week 9, it would make sense for the team to give the veteran extra time to recover for the later part of the season. If Godwin is ruled out, expect Sterling Shepard, Tez Johnson, and Kameron Johnson to see expanded roles in Tampa Bay's passing game during their primetime clash with Detroit.

Los Angeles Rams running back Kyren Williams has scored a touchdown in back-to-back games and will look to extend his streak against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 7. The 25-year-old has a firm grasp on the lead-back role in Los Angeles, handling 39 touches over the last two games compared to Blake Corum's six. Williams has been efficient on the ground with 4.4 yards per carry and has also taken on a bigger receiving role with 10 catches and two receiving touchdowns over his last two games. The Jaguars rank near the middle of the league in terms of fantasy points allowed to running backs, so we don't expect Williams to run into any challenges that he can't handle. He remains a high-end RB2 for Week 7.

Los Angeles Rams running back Blake Corum continues to operate in a clear depth role behind Kyren Williams, keeping him off the fantasy radar ahead of Week 7 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Corum has impressed with 5.38 yards per carry this year, but opportunities have been hard to come by. He has just six carries and zero receptions over his last two games, and he hasn't played more than 30 percent of the offensive snaps in a single game this season. The 24-year-old is an intriguing handcuff who would become an RB2 if Williams missed time. However, Williams is currently healthy and has full control of the backfield. As a result, Corum can be left on waivers (or benched in deeper leagues) ahead of Week 7.

The Minnesota Vikings plan to give Carson Wentz at least one more start Sunday against the Philadelphia Eagles, but managers should not risk starting Wentz, even in two-quarterback formats. With starter J.J. McCarthy (ankle) questionable and not yet ready to return from injury, the veteran will face the team with which he had his greatest success in the NFL. The Vikings have struggled often on offense this season, ranking 32nd in passing attempts, 29th in passing yards, and 31st in sack percentage allowed, numbers surely influenced by the team's injury struggles on the offensive line. Wentz was not listed on the final injury report himself, but did hurt his non-throwing shoulder in Week 5 and briefly left the game. Though the Eagles are only middle of the pack against fantasy quarterbacks, managers should look for a stronger matchup elsewhere.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Bucky Irving (foot/shoulder) was not seen at Saturday's practice, putting him on track to miss his third straight game. Irving has been sidelined for the past two weeks with foot and shoulder injuries and is likely to miss another game this week. In his absence, the Buccaneers have leaned heavily on Rachaad White, who has played 81% of the snaps over the past two games. With the team's bye week approaching in Week 9, it would make sense for Tampa Bay to rest the young running back and ensure he's fully healthy for the second half of the season. Expect White and Sean Tucker to handle the backfield duties once again in Monday night's matchup against the Detroit Lions.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Davante Adams will operate as the team's primary option in the passing game during Sunday's Week 7 contest against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Teammate Puka Nacua (ankle) has been ruled out, which has vaulted Adams to the top of the depth chart. Adams should have no trouble handling the responsibilities of a No. 1 receiver, as he occupied that role with great success in Green Bay, Las Vegas, and New York. The increase in opportunities this week could actually be much-needed for Adams, as he previously has struggled to develop a very consistent rapport with Matthew Stafford. The receiver has caught just 47.3 percent of the passes Stafford has thrown his way, but that ratio could increase with Adams handling WR1 duties. In addition to being the WR1 in Los Angeles, Adams should sneak into the low-end WR1 tier for fantasy football. He's a must-start receiver against the Jacksonville Jaguars, who have allowed the eighth-most fantasy points to wide receivers in 2025.

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Greg Dortch posted his best game of the season in Week 6 due to a couple of injuries to the receiver corps. He finished as the WR32 in half-PPR formats with three receptions for nine yards and a touchdown on three targets from Jacoby Brissett. Marvin Harrison Jr. is set to return after being cleared from concussion protocol, but Zay Jones (knee) received a questionable tag. If Jones doesn't play, Dortch holds some value against the Green Bay Packers. Especially if Brissett is under center and the Cardinals dial up a similar game plan as last week. Since his value depends on a lot of moving parts, however, Dortch is quite the dart-throw option that is only worth playing in dire situations.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Emeka Egbuka (hamstring) was spotted practicing on Saturday ahead of Monday night's matchup with the Detroit Lions. After missing both Thursday and Friday's sessions, his surprise return to the field is an encouraging sign for his future availability. However, with the final injury report still pending, fantasy managers should proceed with caution. Given the Monday night kickoff, it may be smart to start other options at wide receiver in your fantasy leagues. The team has been reckless with hamstring injuries in the past, most notably Mike Evans in 2024, when he reaggravated his injury and landed on injured reserve. Even if Egbuka is active, he'll likely be on a limited snap count, but there's a good chance the Buccaneers proceed with caution for their young superstar.

Arizona Cardinals tight end Trey McBride posted season highs in fantasy points and position finish in Week 6 with Jacoby Brissett under center. His value particularly shines in PPR formats, especially after receiving 11 targets in that matchup with the Indianapolis Colts. In Week 7, he'll go up against the Green Bay Packers, who are ranked 30th against tight ends so far this season. They're giving up an average of 17.4 fantasy points per game to the position and have allowed a touchdown in three of their five games. McBride is already Kyler Murray's (questionable - foot) favorite target, and he produced a great game with Brissett, so he remains in the mix for the TE1 overall yet again.

From RotoBaller

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Michael Wilson has yet to crack the top 40 at his position through the first six weeks of the season. His Week 6 performance of four catches for 44 yards equated to his best finish of the year at WR41 in half-PPR formats. To make matters worse, his average finish is WR72. In Week 7, he'll take on the Green Bay Packers, who are middle of the pack against the passing game. They have allowed at least one touchdown to opposing receivers in all but one game, but Wilson has only one touchdown in his last nine games played, dating back to last season. With the uncertainty at quarterback as Kyler Murray (foot) is questionable again, fantasy managers can leave Wilson on the waiver wire until something drastic changes.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans (hamstring) was spotted participating in practice on Saturday after taking a rest day on Friday. His return to the field strongly suggests that the future Hall of Famer will be active for Monday Night Football against the Detroit Lions. Through three games, Evans has caught 14 of 28 targets for 140 yards and a touchdown, ranking as the WR37 on a per-game basis. While Evans appears on track to return, receivers Emeka Egbuka (hamstring) and Chris Godwin (fibula) are both less likely to play on Monday Night. Assuming he's cleared to play, Evans profiles as a solid WR2 against a struggling Lions secondary that has allowed multiple big performances this season.

The New Orleans Saints are reportedly in contract negotiations with wide receiver Chris Olave, according to The Athletic's Dianna Russini. Olave's name had occurred in recent trade rumors, but the team's pursuit of a long-term deal might slow down those talks for now. Through six games, Olave has caught 39 of 64 targets for 342 yards and a touchdown, ranking as the WR27 on a per-game basis. The fourth-year wideout has dealt with injuries (mostly concussions) over his three-year career but has shown he can be a dependable weapon in the Saints' passing attack. While there are potential landing spots that could boost his fantasy ceiling, it appears Olave is staying put in New Orleans for the foreseeable future.

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. cleared the NFL's concussion protocol just in time to practice Friday and be removed from the injury report. He was only able to play in 23% of the team's snaps in Week 6, which led to just the two targets, two catches, and 32 yards. Week 7 carries uncertainty yet again as Kyler Murray (foot) remains questionable, with Jacoby Brissett waiting for the call to go under center. Harrison and Murray still haven't fully clicked, so having Brissett under center may not necessarily be a bad thing. The Green Bay Packers have given up at least one receiving touchdown in all but one of their games, so Harrison could find some room to break free, but they're around the middle of the league in terms of defending the pass. Harrison is a solid flex play, but his ceiling is a bit limited right now.

Cincinnati Bengals pass rusher Trey Hendrickson is unlikely to be traded ahead of this year's trade deadline, according to The Athletic's Dianna Russini. Hendrickson ended his offseason holdout by signing a one-year deal before the season, allowing him to return to action. With the Bengals' sluggish start, Hendrickson's name had surfaced in trade speculation, but Russini's report indicates he'll remain in Cincinnati for the rest of the season. The reigning NFL sack leader has four sacks in five games this year, even while battling back and hip injuries over the past two weeks. Assuming he stays put, Hendrickson will look to help spark a turnaround for a Bengals defense that's struggled out of the gate.
