According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, Las Vegas Raiders tight end Brock Bowers (knee) isn't expected to suit up for Sunday's AFC West showdown with the Chiefs. If that's indeed the case, it will mark his third straight absence. The 22-year-old began the season by catching five of his eight targets for 103 yards in the Week 1 win over the New England Patriots. However, he struggled in his next three appearances. Fortunately, it appears Bowers is trending in the right direction, with Schefter adding that the 2024 No. 13 overall pick has a "good chance" to return after the Raiders' Week 8 bye. In the meantime, Michael Mayer, who is coming off a five-catch, 50-yard, one-touchdown effort in the win over the Titans, has streaming value for those in need of a fantasy tight end in Week 7. Of course, that's assuming Bowers will officially be ruled out.

According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the Los Angeles Chargers activated linebacker Denzel Perryman (ankle) ahead of the Week 7 matchup with the Colts. The 32-year-old played sparingly this season, suffering an ankle injury during the Week 1 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs in Brazil. Unfortunately, that landed him on the Injured Reserve list. Perryman has an impressive resume. While he is nowhere near what he was back in 2021, when he made the Pro Bowl as a member of the Las Vegas Raiders, his anticipated presence isn't an ideal scenario for the 5-1 Colts, especially since Khalil Mack (elbow) was also activated off the IR. For now, Perryman remains questionable, but it appears he's trending toward being active in Week 7.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cade Otton has picked up the slack over the last few weeks. Otton was awful to start the season, but finished with 81 receiving yards in Week 5 and hauled in five receptions for 51 yards last week. The Bucs are starting to believe in Otton and he's beginning to earn a larger role. It's also worth noting that the Bucs are extremely banged up right now. They're already without two starting wideouts, but Mike Evans (hamstring) and Emeka Egbuka (hamstring) might sit in Week 7 as well. If that happens, Otton could see an expanded role on Monday night. At worst, Otton should be a solid TE2 given his recent success.

Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier scored for the third time in his last four games in Week 6, and while he also logged double-digit carries for the fourth time this season, the 25-year-old tallied just 3.2 yards per carry, which was buoyed by a 21-yard run that amounted to the bulk of his 32 total yards. Although he likely can't keep up this touchdown pace, the fourth-year pro has carved out a solid role as the No. 2 back in Atlanta, and as long as the game remains competitive, Allgeier figures to get enough work to keep him in the Flex conversation. A competitive game appears to be in the cards in Week 7 against the 49ers, so the BYU product sets up as a high-end RB4/Flex play, but fantasy managers should be aware that if he doesn't find the end zone, there will be little fantasy production to be had as the 5-foot-10 running back is not a factor in the passing game.

According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the Broncos activated linebacker Dre Greenlaw (quadriceps) off the Injured Reserve list. As a result, the 28-year-old is expected to suit up for Sunday's contest versus the New York Giants, although he's currently still listed as questionable. He spent his entire career in San Francisco, where he totaled 455 tackles and 3.5 sacks in 64 regular-season appearances. Greenlaw inked a three-year, $35 million deal with the Broncos in March. Unfortunately, he hasn't played yet this season because of a quadriceps injury. With that said, even on a snap count, his presence will go a long way toward enhancing an already formidable Broncos offense, and it's certainly not good news for Jaxson Dart, Cam Skattebo, and the rest of the Giants offense.

Houston Texans kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn had made 11 of his 13 field goal attempts this season and all nine of his extra point attempts. He and the Texans return from their bye week to face the Seahawks on Monday night, so he'll be kicking outside in the weather. Both of his misses this year have come from over 50 yards out, but he has also converted five kicks of 50+ yards. In week 5, he went a perfect 3-for-3 with two field goals from over 50 yards and made all five of his extra points as the Texans rolled past the Ravens, 44-10. The Seahawks have been one of the 10 toughest matchups for kickers, but Fairbairn is still reliable enough to be the K9 in RotoBaller's Week 7 rankings.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Tez Johnson has been making some nice plays over the last few weeks. He hauled in four receptions for 59 yards in Week 5 and caught a 45-yard touchdown during last week's game. The rookie wideout has seen more of the field recently with the Bucs banged up on offense. Both Mike Evans (hamstring) and Emeka Egbuka (hamstring) are in danger of missing the Week 7 matchup against the Detroit Lions. If they sit, Johnson, Sterling Shepard, and Kameron Johnson would be the primary receivers for this Monday night contest. The 23-year-old could be worth a look as a boom-or-bust option for fantasy managers who might be without Evans or Egbuka this weekend.

From RotoBaller

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Sterling Shepard could be asked to play a significant role in the upcoming Week 7 matchup against the Detroit Lions. The Bucs are extremely banged up with Jalen McMillan (neck) and Chris Godwin (fibula) ruled out. Also, Mike Evans (hamstring) and Emeka Egbuka (hamstring) are considered game-time decisions for Monday's game. If they sit, Sterling Shepard, Tez Johnson, and Kameron Johnson would be the primary wideouts. Shepard hasn't been great this season, but did finish with over 51 receiving yards last week. Given the injuries and bye weeks, Shepard is worth considering as a flex option for Week 7.

From RotoBaller

Houston Texans wide receiver Christian Kirk (hamstring) won't play on Monday night versus the Seattle Seahawks. The wideout was limited during Friday's practice before not suiting up for Saturday's session. It's unknown how severe the injury is. However, it's not good news for a player who's struggled to stay healthy all year. Kirk has appeared in three games for the Texans this season, amassing 10 grabs (16 targets) for 109 yards. Fantasy managers will have to wait and see if he can get healthy enough to suit up against the 49ers in Week 8. In the meantime, Jayden Higgins and Xavier Hutchinson are in line to see more targets behind Nico Collins, giving both players a higher ceiling for Week 7.

From RotoBaller

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White is expected to make his third straight start during the Week 7 matchup against the Detroit Lions. The Bucs are going to be without Bucky Irving (foot) for at least one more game. White has stepped up and played well in the absence of Irving. He has rushed for over 100 yards with three touchdowns over the last two games. Given the Bucs shorthanded offense, White figures to once again have a significant role in the offense on Monday night. This team is already without Jalen McMillan (neck) and Chris Godwin (leg), but might also be missing Mike Evans (hamstring) and Emeka Egbuka (hamstring) in Week 7. That being said, White could be asked to do more receiving work than normal. The 26-year-old figures to be heavily involved and should be a solid RB2 for this Week 7 contest.

From RotoBaller

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Sean Tucker figures to see more chances in the backfield with Bucky Irving (foot) missing another game. Last week, Tucker rushed six times for 25 yards and a touchdown in the win over the San Francisco 49ers. Rachaad White is the lead back while Irving is out, which means Tucker is likely only going to see a handful of carries. The Bucs are banged up on offense, so possibly Tucker does see more of the field in Week 7. Despite that, fantasy managers shouldn't trust him as anything more than a touchdown-dependent option for the Week 7 matchup against the Detroit Lions.

From RotoBaller

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield has been playing at an elite level early in the season. Heading into Week 7, Mayfield has thrown for 1,539 passing yards with 12 touchdowns and one interception. He's missing multiple key contributors on offense, but continues finding ways to get it done on the field. At the moment, it's unclear if the Bucs will have Mike Evans (hamstring) or Emeka Egbuka (hamstring) for Monday's game against the Detroit Lions. Despite that, Mayfield finds a way to succeed despite a shorthanded roster. Fantasy managers should continue to plug in Mayfield as a locked-in QB1 for Week 7.

From RotoBaller

Carolina Panthers tight end Ja'Tavion Sanders (ankle) doesn't carry an injury designation heading into Sunday's matchup versus the Jets. The 22-year-old was trending in the right direction after logging full practice sessions on Thursday and Friday, so he'll make his return after suffering an ankle injury in the Week 3 win over the Atlanta Falcons. Sanders had 11 catches (14 targets) for 92 yards before going on the shelf. While he hasn't been productive throughout his career, desperate fantasy managers can look in his direction against a weak Jets defense. Sanders' return should mean less work for Tommy Tremble, who had four grabs for 39 yards in the Week 6 win over the Dallas Cowboys.

From RotoBaller

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Grant Calcaterra (oblique) won't play in Sunday's game against the Minnesota Vikings. The 26-year-old suffered an oblique injury during the Week 5 loss to the Denver Broncos and wasn't available for the Thursday night divisional clash with the New York Giants. He didn't practice all week, so it's unknown how close he is to returning. However, Calcaterra hasn't been productive this season, catching only four passes for 40 yards, making him irrelevant for fantasy managers. With Dallas Goedert available, that likely would have remained the case.

From RotoBaller

New York Giants wide receiver Jalin Hyatt (ankle) no longer carries an injury designation heading into Sunday's game versus the Denver Broncos. The wideout was limited at practice throughout the week. Fortunately, he'll be out there, which is good news, considering the G-Men won't have Darius Slayton (hamstring) in Week 7. Hyatt has been quiet from a fantasy standpoint throughout the 2025 campaign, collecting only three of his eight targets for 17 yards. While he could see an uptick in targets from Jaxson Dart behind Wan'Dale Robinson, he still shouldn't be considered a practical fantasy option against a tough Broncos defense.

From RotoBaller

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Ashton Dulin (chest) won't play in Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Chargers. He didn't practice all week, so the latest update shouldn't be surprising to anyone. The 28-year-old hasn't done much this season, totaling three grabs for 66 yards while amassing 15 yards off two carries. With Josh Downs (concussion) also ruled out, there would have been room for Dulin to see extra attention from Daniel Jones. However, the collective absences of Downs and Dulin could now mean more targets for Alec Pierce behind Michael Pittman Jr. And Tyler Warren.

From RotoBaller

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Hunter Renfrow won't be a viable fantasy option for the upcoming Week 7 matchup against the New York Jets. The veteran wideout has hauled in two receptions for 14 total yards over his last two games. The 29-year-old has been held to two receptions or less and 10 or fewer yards in each of his last four games. It's worth noting that Jalen Coker (quad) is returning from the injured reserve in Week 7. That being said, Renfrow isn't a recommended fantasy option in any formats right now.

From RotoBaller

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts Sr. had his lowest output of the season in Week 6, tallying three catches on four targets for 18 scoreless yards. Despite the down week, the 25-year-old has found some consistency in the offense this season, ranking third on the team in target share (17.4 percent) behind only Drake London and Bijan Robinson. Darnell Mooney (hamstring) is questionable after a DNP in Friday's practice, although coach Raheem Morris believes Mooney will play. Regardless, Pitts has maintained at least a 74 percent snap share, five targets, and four catches in games where Mooney was on the field, so he's carved out a reliable role in the offense. As such, the 6-foot-6 tight end sets up as a low-end TE1 this week in a game that the 49ers will be without some key pieces on defense.

From RotoBaller

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Xavier Legette was unable to find much success versus the Dallas Cowboys last week. Legette hauled in both his targets for 11 yards in the win. The 24-year-old has two or less receptions in three of his four games this season. Legette isn't viewed as a significant threat in this offense right now. His role on offense could take a hit with Jalen Coker (quad) returning from the injured reserve. Honestly, no one on this offense is trustworthy outside of Tetairoa McMillan and Rico Dowdle right now. Legette is a touchdown-dependent option against the New York Jets in Week 7.

From RotoBaller

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Jalen Coker (quad) has been activated off the injured reserve. Coker is set to make his season debut against the New York Jets in Week 7. It's great to see the 23-year-old back in action, but it's unclear how significant of a role he'll have in his first game back. The return of Coker figures to mean less snaps for Hunter Renfrow, Brycen Tremayne, and Jimmy Horn. However, Tetairoa McMillan and Xavier Legette should still be ahead of Coker in the pecking order. Coker could be worth a stash depending on the format, but isn't a recommended streaming option for this weekend.
