Week 7 Fantasy Football Quarterback Outlooks

Aaron Rodgers, Pittsburgh Steelers

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers has played turnover-free football over his past two games and is primed for another solid showing against the Cincinnati Bengals on Thursday night. Cincinnati's defense has struggled this season, allowing the second-most passing yards and 11th-most fantasy points per game to opposing quarterbacks.

Although he'll once again be without wide receiver Calvin Austin III (shoulder), Rodgers has developed strong chemistry with DK Metcalf while also finding success targeting his tight ends and running backs. The 41-year-old is likely available in most single-QB formats but can be streamed as a solid option in this divisional clash.

Brock Purdy, San Francisco 49ers

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy (toe) put in a limited practice on Wednesday, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan. The 49ers are hoping that Purdy can put in more work at practice this week, which could potentially give him a chance to return to starting duties in Week 7 on Sunday Night Football against an improved Atlanta Falcons defense. Purdy suffered a turf-toe injury in Week 1 and missed Weeks 2 and 3. He then aggravated his toe injury in his return in Week 4 and hasn't played since.

Backup Mac Jones (knee, oblique) has played well in Purdy's absence, but there's no question that Purdy is San Fran's starter when healthy. Purdy will likely need to put in a full practice to avoid a questionable tag this week. If he's able to return, he could be getting star tight end George Kittle (hamstring) back from Injured Reserve, too. In his two starts, Purdy has averaged 24.2 fantasy points, which ranks fourth among all QBs in 2025.

Kyler Murray, Arizona Cardinals

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray (foot), who missed last week's loss to the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday, returned to practice on Wednesday and was limited, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. Although it's good news that the 28-year-old signal-caller is on the practice field, he's dealing with a mid-foot sprain and is not a lock to return in Week 7 against the visiting Green Bay Packers. Veteran Jacoby Brissett's strong performance in Murray's absence last Sunday could also lead the Cardinals to play it safe with Murray this week and hold him out again as a precaution.

It sounds like Arizona has no plans to rush Murray back into action, so fantasy managers need to have a backup plan in place in case he misses a second straight start. Through five games played, Murray has been a disappointment as a QB1 option in fantasy, ranking 24th among all QBs with an average of 19.1 fantasy points per game.

Spencer Rattler, New Orleans Saints

New Orleans Saints quarterback Spencer Rattler completed 20-of-26 passes for 227 yards with no touchdowns and added four rushes for 20 yards in Week 6's loss to the Patriots. He now ranks eighth in pass attempts, 13th in completion percentage, and 16th in passing yards on the season. This game also marks his fifth straight with a completion rate over 67% and his first since Week 1 without a passing score. The efficiency is clear, but the lack of touchdown production continues to limit his ceiling.

Despite steady play, he's finished inside the top 20 quarterbacks just once this year. However, a favorable Week 7 matchup against a Bears defense that's surrendered 14 total touchdowns to quarterbacks through five games could give him a chance to turn volume and accuracy into real production.

Joe Flacco, Cincinnati Bengals

Veteran quarterback Joe Flacco posted a solid performance in his first game as the starter for the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 6. After being acquired by Cincinnati from the Cleveland Browns early last week, Flacco completed 29 of 46 pass attempts for 219 yards, two touchdowns, and zero interceptions in a difficult matchup against the Green Bay Packers. The 40-year-old will have another short week of preparation in Week 7 as Cincinnati will take on the Pittsburgh Steelers on Thursday night.

Flacco's propensity for high passing volume, coupled with the Bengals' elite-level talent at the wide receiver position, gives the veteran signal-caller some fantasy appeal in two-quarterback formats.

Deshaun Watson, Cleveland Browns

Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson (Achilles) has been sidelined since Week 7 of last season, but is reportedly doing "great" in his rehab, according to head coach Kevin Stefanski. Stefanski didn't have an update on whether Watson was any closer to having his practice window opened, but he's made progress in his recovery. Watson's road to recovery was delayed when he re-tore his Achilles tendon later on, and he still doesn't seem that close to playing anytime soon.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that Watson is still "a good month away" from being cleared to participate in any football activities. For the time being, rookie Dillion Gabriel will continue starting for Cleveland, with rookie Shedeur Sanders as his backup.

Matthew Stafford, Los Angeles Rams

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford posted disappointing fantasy results in Week 6, largely due to the extreme positive game script against the Baltimore Ravens. Los Angeles won the game by running the ball and draining the clock, which meant Stafford didn't have to throw the ball much.

He also suffered from the brief exit of teammate Puka Nacua (ankle), who didn't like his normal self even when he returned. While Nacua could be sidelined against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 7, Stafford is still a strong candidate to bounce back in a game that should feature more of a neutral game script. The veteran lacks rushing upside but is still the overall QB10 in fantasy football this season. He should be rostered in all leagues at this point, so if he's still available on waivers, add him before it's too late.
