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.

Arizona Cardinals running back Michael Carter is set to receive more opportunities after a third member of the backfield went down with an injury in Emari Demercado (ankle). During the Week 6 matchup with the Indianapolis Colts, Carter saw 44% of the snap share after getting 58% against the Tennessee Titans in Week 5. Against the Green Bay Packers in Week 7, Carter and Bam Knight will split the backfield work, but Carter is likely to see some more opportunities in the passing game. He received five targets in each of the last two games and turned them into seven receptions for 52 yards. The Packers are ranked fifth against opposing running backs, however, and have given up just two touchdowns on the ground this season. Carter does hold some low-end flex value in deeper leagues, but he'll be hard to trust since the Cardinals will likely go with the hot hand.

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray (foot) has officially received a questionable status for their Week 7 matchup with the Green Bay Packers after a week of limited practices. Jacoby Brissett filled in admirably for Murray in Week 6 and even led the team to their most passing yards and touchdowns so far this season. Their Week 7 opponent, the Green Bay Packers, is currently ranked fifth in overall defensive numbers and 11th against the pass. So, if Murray does end up playing at less than 100% healthy, it doesn't seem like an ideal start for fantasy managers. The last time the two teams met last season, Murray led the offense to just 13 points in a lopsided 34-13 loss. With that being said, if he does play, he remains in the QB2 conversation.

Arizona Cardinals running back Bam Knight was dealing with a knee injury earlier in the week, but was a full participant in Thursday and Friday's practice, so he's good to go. In their Week 6 loss to the Indianapolis Colts, Knight saw a 51% snap share and finished as a high-end RB2 in half-PPR leagues. With Emari Demercado (ankle) ruled out for the Week 7 game against the Green Bay Packers, Knight is set to share the backfield with Michael Carter again. While he is a worthwhile waiver add if available, his fantasy output will likely be very volatile. The Cardinals seem to be going with the hot hand approach between the two backs, which gives Knight a low-end flex value in deeper leagues.

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Jacoby Brissett may be in line for another spot start while Kyler Murray (foot) remains questionable ahead of their Week 7 matchup with the Green Bay Packers. The fact that the Cardinals enter their bye week after this game could encourage them to be more cautious with Murray. With that being said, Brissett did lead the Cardinals to their best output through the air in terms of both passing yards and touchdowns. The Packers are the fifth-ranked defense overall, but have given up at least 200 yards and two scores to quarterbacks in their last two games. Murray still has a chance to play in this contest, but if Brissett is under center, fantasy managers in deeper leagues can look to Brissett to provide some value in tough situations.

Atlanta Falcons WR Ray-Ray McCloud (non-injury) was sent home and will not play in Week 7's game versus the San Francisco 49ers due to a private matter between the player and the club, according to head coach Raheem Morris.

Fantasy Spin: McCloud has just six receptions for 64 yards through four games this season and possesses minimal fantasy value, especially since he is no longer serving as the Falcons' primary kick return and punt return option.

Dallas Cowboys kicker Brandon Aubrey has been one of the best kickers this decade, and he'll look to build on his success in a divisional Week 7 marchup against the Washington Commanders. He is a perfect 12-for-12 on field goals and 18-for-19 on extra points, continuing to showcase his accuracy and extremely strong leg. This pair of skills has allowed him to rank as the No. 1 kicker in fantasy points so far, and he remains the consensus K1 heading into Week 7. A matchup against the Commanders isn't ideal, as they've allowed the seventh-fewest fantasy points to kickers in 2025. However, Aubrey has shown that he is matchup-proof and should be started in all leagues this weekend.

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford has been terrific this season, ranking as the overall QB10 in fantasy football. While he has a long track record of success in the NFL and has proven that this season's results are no joke, managers should temper expectations with the veteran signal caller this week. First of all, he will be without Puka Nacua (ankle), who is the heart and soul of Los Angeles' receiving corps. That will leave Davante Adams as the de facto No. 1 receiver. While Adams is dominant, too, he hasn't flashed the strongest rapport with Stafford, which could be an issue now that he's in a bigger role. Furthermore, Stafford will be tasked with overcoming the challenges of international travel; he arrives in London on Saturday and will take on the Jaguars just one day later. Both of these factors reduce Stafford's fantasy value, but he still cracks the top 12. It helps that Jacksonville has allowed the fifth-most passing yards to quarterbacks this season, as well as the 11th-most fantasy points to the position. Stafford is a low-end QB1 for this week.

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Elic Ayomanor is expected to handle an increased workload against the New England Patriots in Week 7 after Calvin Ridley (hamstring) was ruled out for the contest. Ridley missed most of last week's game, too, and Ayomanor benefited, catching three passes for 27 yards on a season-high 93 percent snap share. The catch total was nothing special, but that large snap share indicates that Ayomanor is on the field for almost every play, and that his target share should start to increase as a result. The Patriots have allowed the 13th-most fantasy points to wide receivers this season, leaving Ayomanor in the WR3/flex range.

Tennessee Titans tight end Chig Okonkwo has quietly emerged as one of quarterback Cameron Ward's favorite targets, which should benefit him as he looks to maintain low-end fantasy relevance against the New England Patriots in Week 7. The 26-year-old has 10 catches for 94 yards over his last two games, and he ranks as the overall TE21 in scoring so far (PPR). The good news is that he has been a short-range outlet for Ward, but he can still contribute extra yards with his impressive YAC ability. We need to see a little more consistency from Okonkwo before confidently starting him. That could happen this week against the Patriots, who have allowed the sixth-most fantasy points to opposing tight ends in 2025.

Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard's fantasy value has started to decline following the return of Tyjae Spears, and he'll continue to face an uphill battle to produce in Week 7 against the New England Patriots. The veteran's snap share was essentially cut in half last week as Spears took on a bigger workload. A reduced snap share is never a good sign for fantasy purposes, and it's particularly concerning when discussing one of the NFL's worst teams. Pollard no longer has volume or game script on his side, making him tough to trust in fantasy football. To make matters worse, he's facing the Patriots, who have allowed the third-fewest rushing yards and fifth-fewest fantasy points to opposing running backs in 2025. Managers in most leagues can bench Pollard this week. At best, he is an RB3/flex.

Tennessee Titans running back Tyjae Spears has ascended into a significant role through two weeks post-injury. Now, he'll look to handle an increased workload in Week 7 against the New England Patriots. Spears has seen a gradual increase in usage through his two games, with the most notable difference being his snap share jumping from 25 percent to 59 percent. As of last week, he was on the field more than Tony Pollard, though he still logged less than half as many rushing attempts as the veteran. One of Spears' specialties is pass catching, which has given him a path to playing time. The Patriots have allowed the third-fewest rushing yards to running backs, but the 10th-most receiving yards to the position.

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Tyler Lockett offers a strong, veteran presence within a struggling offense, but he's unlikely to contribute as a relevant fantasy football option in Week 7 against the New England Patriots. While it's fair to initially suspect that Lockett could steal some targets from Calvin Ridley (hamstring) has been ruled out, that doesn't appear to be the case. Ridley started last week's game but exited early and did not return, but Lockett still just caught just one pass on a 33 percent snap share. Elic Ayomanor and Chimere Dike are far more likely to handle Ridley's vacated targets, leaving Lockett in a smaller role once again. He can be avoided in most fantasy leagues.

Miami Dolphins tight end Darren Waller has made an instant impression with his new team after missing the first three weeks of the season, and he's quickly become one of Tua Tagovailoa's top targets. He and the Dolphins visit the Browns in Week 7 in a matchup of two 1-5 teams. Waller has played more snaps each week and worked up to a 69% snap share last week against the Chargers. He only had two catches for 12 yards, but had another good fantasy day since he found the end zone for the fourth time in three contests. In his three games, he has 10 catches for 117 yards to go with his four scores, and that production is enough to make him RotoBaller's TE10 this week as he faces the Browns, who rank in the middle of the pack against tight ends.

From RotoBaller

Miami Dolphins tight end Julian Hill started the first three games of the season but had just one catch. Since the return of Darren Waller from a hip injury, Hill has actually been more involved in the last few weeks, while serving as the team's second tight end. He had four catches for 22 yards against the Panthers and three catches for 31 yards against the Chargers in the two games since the Dolphins lost Tyreek Hill (knee) for the season. This week, Hill and the Dolphins visit the Browns, who rank 18th in the NFL against tight ends this season. He's only the TE41, so he's not nearly in a starting spot in all but the deepest formats, but it is interesting that he's been able to find a little bit of a rhythm and role the last few weeks in Miami's passing game.

From RotoBaller

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Malik Washington has stepped up as the team's second receiver since the season-ending injury to Tyreek Hill (knee). He hasn't been able to produce much yardage, though, coming into this week's matchup with the Browns. Washington has had four catches in each of the last two weeks, but hasn't had a play go for even 10 yards yet. He had four catches for no yards in Week 5, followed by four catches for 22 receiving yards last week against the Chargers. The increase in targets and catches is a good sign, but he hasn't been able to break out for any big gains. The Dolphins offense isn't vertical enough to make him a regular starting option at receiver right now, despite some big-play potential. He comes into this week ranked as RotoBaller's WR64 well off the radar in most formats.

From RotoBaller

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Nick Westbrook-Ikhine has seen his snap share spike the last two weeks since the Tyreek Hill (knee) injury, but he has turned in no fantasy production as a result. As the Dolphins face the Browns this week, NWI will look to get involved in the offense after totaling just one catch over the last four weeks. Westbrook-Ikhine has become the team's third receiver over the last two weeks, playing 71% of snaps against the Panthers and 63% of the snaps against the Chargers. However, he has just one target and no catches despite being on the field for 76 plays. He has the potential to contribute since he's getting playing time, but the fact that Tua Tagovailoa doesn't throw the ball his way keeps him well off the fantasy radar this week in Cleveland, where he is the WR86 in RotoBaller's Week 7 rankings.

From RotoBaller

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Travis Hunter could have a breakout game against the Los Angeles Rams during their visit to London. After a quiet start to the season, Liam Coen stated to the press the gameplan would be to get Hunter more involved on offense this week. That is music to the ears of fantasy managers who drafted the talented rookie high. In limited action, the two-way phenom has showed flashes of talent while getting acclimated to both sides of the ball in the NFL. On the other hand, this could just be coach speak, so fantasy managers shouldn't get too hasty. Bold managers in need of an upside play should feel good about starting Hunter in Week 7.
