Dallas Cowboys running back Javonte Williams had his worst game of the season in Week 6, recording just 34 scrimmage yards on 18 touches against the Carolina Panthers. Still, the 25-year-old is having an excellent season, as he's logged 559 yards from scrimmage and six touchdowns on 114 total touches through the first six weeks of 2025. The Cowboys have had a penchant for playing high-scoring games so far this season, and they could have another on tap in Week 7 against the Washington Commanders. Williams has played a workhorse, three-down role all year in Dallas, which put him in a good position to be productive each week. If there's any cause for concern, it's that Washington has allowed just four rushing touchdowns through its first six games. Still, Williams projects for close to 20 touches and profiles as a must-start fantasy running back in Week 7.

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson could see a large workload again in Week 7. The Patriots are facing off against the Tennessee Titans, which means the Patriots could enjoy a positive game script and therefore run the ball quite often. That would be good news for Stevenson, who has a slight edge on the lead-back role in New England despite some fumbling issues. Volume is just half the battle, though. Stevenson has struggled with efficiency at times this year, including last week when he had 13 carries for 18 yards (1.4 YPC). Fortunately for him, the Titans have been worn down by the run, allowing 4.7 YPC and the third-most fantasy points to running backs in 2025. With such a favorable matchup headed his way, Stevenson ranks as an RB3/flex.

New England Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson has continued to share backfield reps with Rhamondre Stevenson through six weeks of the 2025 season. As a result, the rookie has mostly stayed off the fantasy radar. That could change in Week 7 as Henderson has a prime opportunity to break out against the Tennessee Titans. New England is heavily favored over Tennessee, so a positive game script could lead to plenty of touches for the running backs, particularly Henderson. The Titans are pretty bad against the run, too, allowing the most rushing touchdowns and third-most fantasy points to opposing running backs in 2025. Between game script and matchup, Week 7 could offer the perfect storm for Henderson to separate himself from Rhamondre Stevenson and break out with a huge game. He's an intriguing RB3/flex with RB2 upside this week.

Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift (groin) enters Week 7 listed as questionable, but he has expressed confidence that he'll suit up against the Saints. Swift is coming off a massive Week 6 performance, racking up 175 total yards and a touchdown on just 16 touches against a solid Commanders run defense. He handled 60% of the snaps, while rookie Kyle Monangai logged 31%, confirming Swift's hold on the lead role in Chicago's backfield. Facing a Saints defense that ranks 12th against running backs, Swift's volume will be crucial in this one. With the Bears favored for the second time this season and a run-heavy game script likely, Swift projects as a strong high-end RB2, assuming he's good to go against the Saints.

Chicago Bears rookie running back Kyle Monangai posted a career-high in yardage in Week 6 coming out of the bye. Through five games, Monangai has totaled 129 scrimmage yards on 26 touches, operating as the clear backup to D'Andre Swift. Swift (groin) is questionable for Week 7 but has stated he expects to play, keeping Monangai in his reserve role. While the rookie could see a slight uptick in usage if Swift is limited, his fantasy value remains limited heading into the matchup with the Saints. Monangai should stay on fantasy benches in Week 7 as he continues to carve out a role in Ben Johnson's offense.

Chicago Bears wide receiver Rome Odunze is coming off a quiet Week 6, recording just two catches for 32 yards. However, his day could have been much bigger, as Odunze had an 11-yard touchdown negated by a penalty and narrowly missed on a few deep connections with Caleb Williams. Despite the down week, the second-year receiver is still in the midst of a breakout season, totaling 328 yards and five touchdowns in five games, ranking as the WR7 on a per-game basis. Odunze draws a favorable matchup in Week 7 against the New Orleans Saints, who have allowed the eighth-most fantasy points to wide receivers this season. With the Saints' defense surrendering big performances to WR1s like Marvin Harrison Jr., Jauan Jennings, and Jaxon Smith-Njigba so far this season, Odunze is in a prime bounce-back spot. He should be viewed as a high-end WR2 this week, with significant big-play upside against a struggling Saints secondary.

Chicago Bears wide receiver D.J. Moore (groin) is off the injury report and set to play in Week 7 against the New Orleans Saints. Moore was hospitalized following the team's Week 6 win over Washington due to a groin injury, but he practiced in full this week and is ready to go. It's been a slow start to the 2025 season for Moore, who has totaled 240 yards and one touchdown on 27 total attempts through five games. With Rome Odunze emerging as the team's WR1, Moore has struggled to find consistency. However, he gets a chance to rebound against a Saints defense that has allowed the eighth-most fantasy points to wide receivers this season. After New Orleans was torched by Drake Maye and the Patriots in Week 6, there's real upside for the Bears' passing attack this week. Moore profiles as a solid WR3 with bounce-back potential in Week 7.

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott has played some of the best football of his career through the first six weeks of the season, completing 71.6% of his pass attempts for 1,617 yards, 13 touchdowns, and three interceptions. The Cowboys have been one of the highest-scoring teams in the NFL, averaging 29.7 points per game. Dallas should find itself in another shootout in a Week 7 matchup against the Washington Commanders. Through six games, Washington's defense ranks dead last in the NFL in yards per reception allowed (13.0). Additionally, Prescott and the Cowboys will welcome wideout CeeDee Lamb (ankle) back to the lineup after his three-game absence due to a high-ankle sprain. Prescott profiles as a must-start fantasy quarterback in Week 7 against Washington.

From RotoBaller

New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye has been one of the best players in the NFL lately. Meanwhile, the Tennessee Titans have been one of the toughest teams to watch, limping to a 1-5 record and firing their head coach mid-season. Therefore, we could be in for a huge game from Maye as he takes on the Titans in Week 7. The second-year quarterback has six total touchdowns and zero turnovers over his last three games, ranking as the overall QB5 so far this season. Maye should have no trouble dismantling the Titans' defense in their first game under interim head coach Mike McCoy. However, it is worth noting that the Titans have allowed the fifth-fewest fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks in 2025. This is a combination of their respectable unit and a tendency to surrender large leads to their opponents early in the game. If New England jumps out to an early lead, we could see them run the ball more. However, that's no reason to second-guess your lineup decision. Maye should still be started as a mid-range QB1 in every league.

Chicago Bears rookie wide receiver Luther Burden III continues to struggle to carve out a consistent role in the offense through five games. Burden has just 11 catches for 150 yards and one touchdown, ranking sixth on the team in targets. Despite preseason buzz and speculation that his role would expand after the Week 5 bye, Burden played only 22% of the snaps in Week 6, while Rome Odunze, D.J. Moore, and Olamide Zaccheaus each logged over 85%. He'll face a Saints secondary that's allowed the eighth-most fantasy points to wide receivers in 2025. Although the matchup is favorable, Burden's limited playing time keeps him off the fantasy radar in Week 7.

Chicago Bears rookie tight end Colston Loveland could be on the verge of a breakout performance in Week 7 against the New Orleans Saints. It's been a quiet start to his rookie campaign, with five catches for 54 yards through five games. The tenth overall pick has opened the season behind veteran Cole Kmet, but Week 6 hinted at a gap closing between the two. Kmet played 52% of the snaps, while Loveland saw 43%, even as the Bears used two-tight end sets at their lowest rate of the year. Head coach Ben Johnson later said the formation usage was game-plan specific, but Loveland's increased role is a promising sign. The rookie now faces a Saints defense that has allowed the eighth-most fantasy points to tight ends this season. While Loveland isn't startable yet, Week 7 could mark the beginning of his breakout as he continues to close the gap for TE1 duties in Chicago.

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.

From RotoBaller

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.

From RotoBaller

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.
