Michael Mayer a Streaming Option in Week 7
Las Vegas Raiders tight end Michael Mayer keeps proving he has fantasy value as his team prepares to face a tough Los Angeles Rams defense. Mayer had seven catches for 95 yards in Week 6, topping Brock Bowers' production for the day. The Rams defense ranks second overall against the air game, allowing just 167 passing yards per game and eight passing TDs across six games. Bowers should shoulder the workload, but Mayer should see his fair share of targets since the Raiders' receiving corps is so unpredictable. Vegas' TE2 is a viable streaming option for Week 7.

Brock Bowers a TE1 in Week 7 Against Rams
Las Vegas Raiders tight end Brock Bowers continues to weather mid-week ailments and will be a key offensive tool in Week 7 against the Los Angeles Rams. Bowers had four receptions for 70 yards in a narrow Week 6 loss to the Buffalo Bills. That brings him to 28 receptions for 382 yards and three touchdowns over four games. The Rams defense ranks second overall against the air game, so Kirk Cousins may want to take advantage and divy up his targets to keep LA on its toes. Still, Bowers is TE1 in RotoBaller's position ranking and should be a big producer for fantasy managers in Week 7.

Mike Washington Jr. Has Murky Future Ahead of Week 7
It isn't clear if Las Vegas Raiders running back Mike Washington Jr. (foot/back) will have an impact in Week 7 against the Los Angeles Rams. Washington is listed as questionable after being limited in practices throughout the week, which could halt the progress he has made in taking on more work. He had nine carries for 43 yards in a Week 6 loss to the Buffalo Bills, continuing to take on more responsibility while Ashton Jeanty battles injuries on his end. Jeanty is expected to shoulder the ground game in against Los Angeles, but Washington hasn't been completely ruled out yet. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on Washington's status into Saturday.

Deshaun Watson Worth A Look In Week 7
Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson is a decent starting option in Week 7's game against the Tennessee Titans. Watson was 16-for-26 passing for 164 yards and no touchdowns and no interceptions in last week's 13-10 win over the Baltimore Ravens. This week he gets a little bit better of a matchup against the Titans, even if it is on the road. The Titans rank in the middle of the pack at 16th in the NFL in pass defense, allowing 220.5 passing yards per game with six passing touchdowns allowed. Watson has 1,174 passing yards this season with seven passing touchdowns compared to just two interceptions. The veteran quarterback needs to show more touchdown ability to be considered a safe option. The good news is his top two wide receiver options, Denzel Boston and KC Concepcion Jr., have been cleared to play after missing some practice time this week. Despite his good touchdown-to-interception ratio, he carries a bit of risk in playing him as a QB1. Nevertheless, this might be a game to look Watson's way should you need a bye-week replacement at the quarterback position.

Ashton Jeanty a Low-End RB2 in Week 7
Las Vegas Raiders running back Ashton Jeanty needs a bounce-back week, and he will take on another heavy workload in Week 7 against the Los Angeles Rams. His efficiency has gone down since the second week of the season, and he is averaging just 2.8 yards per carry. But with backup RB Mike Washington Jr. (foot/back) listed as questionable, Jeanty could assume full responsibility for the ground game. The former Boise State product posted a season-low 22 yards on 10 carries in Week 6, although he did score his first touchdown of the season. The Rams have struggled to contain the run this season, which Jeanty could use to his advantage. Still, his decrease in efficiency makes him a low-end RB2 ahead of this Week 7 matchup.

Kirk Cousins a QB2 in Tough Week 7 Matchup
Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Kirk Cousins should be up to the challenge in Week 7, even against a tough Los Angeles Rams defense. The veteran aired it out against the Buffalo Bills in Week 6, completing 23 of 41 passes for 313 yards with two touchdowns and one interception in a 33-30 loss. The Rams defense ranks second overall against the air game, allowing just 167 passing yards per game and eight passing TDs across six games, which will serve as a steep challenge for the seasoned quarterback. However, bye weeks for a handful of QB1s in Week 7 make Cousins' relative consistency attractive. He is a solid QB2 or streaming option this week.

Darren Waller Too Risky of a Bet in Week 7
Carolina Panthers tight end Darren Waller needs to rebound in a big way, but it might not be enough for fantasy managers in Week 7 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The veteran's fantasy value dipped after he posted goose eggs in Week 6, catching neither of his two targets against the Philadelphia Eagles. Waller was dealing with a toe injury before that game, but did not miss any time for injury-related reasons ahead of Sunday's game against Tampa Bay. The Buccaneers have struggled against the passing game, which could lead Bryce Young to vary his targets. However, Waller's diminished target share and poor Week 6 performance make him a risky bet, even as a deep-league streaming option.

Tommy Tremble a Deep-League Option Only in Week 7
Carolina Panthers tight end Tommy Tremble has some deep-league appeal as his team faces a struggling Tampa Bay Buccaneers defense in Week 7. Panthers quarterback Bryce Young has favored wide receivers Tetairoa McMillan and Jalen Coker with his targets early in the season. However, Tremble caught all four of his targets and had two touchdowns in a 25-14 Week 6 win against the Philadelphia Eagles. Tampa Bay is allowing 224 passing yards per game this season, which can allow Young to air the ball out to multiple targets on Sunday. Tremble hasn't shown consistent production for redraft leagues, but he offers value in deeper formats with multiple TE spots to fill.

Sam Darnold a QB2 in Week 7
Seattle Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold is best viewed as a QB2 in Week 7 against the Kansas City Chiefs. The Chiefs are No. 4 against opposing quarterbacks in fantasy, and Darnold has not exactly been a fantasy stalwart this season. Darnold has thrown seven interceptions in his last four games. He has tossed as many picks as touchdowns during this rough patch. The Chiefs are allowing just 224 passing yards and 0.8 touchdowns to opposing quarterbacks this season. They are also almost a shoo-in for recording an interception. If Seattle expects to win on Sunday night, it will have to come by riding Emanuel Wilson and the running game to victory. Additionally, this team will try to play good defense and control the game. Do not expect fireworks from Darnold this week as a result.

Emanuel Wilson a Flex Option in Week 7
Seattle Seahawks running back Emanuel Wilson seems likely to get one more crack at the starting gig with Zach Charbonnet (knee) ruled out for Week 7 against the Kansas City Chiefs. Wilson's effectiveness in fantasy this season has come on the back of four touchdowns. Otherwise, Wilson is averaging 3.48 yards per carry behind a struggling offensive line and running scheme. Things do not project to get much better in Week 7 against a Chiefs defense allowing 63.8 yards per game to opposing running backs. Wilson's best bet for a quality fantasy day will be to receive a couple of goal line carries and find his way into the end zone. Seattle's rotation includes Velus Jones Jr. and George Holani. Jones especially looked much more explosive than Wilson in Week 6 against the Denver Broncos. Wilson still projects to receive the lion's share of carries in this offense, but proceed with caution as his snap share in Week 6 fell to a measly 32%. However, volume alone could help Wilson deliver flex value in Week 7.

Jalen Coker Should Excel Against Weak Defense in Week 7
Carolina Panthers wide receiver Jalen Coker impressed in his Week 6 return, but can he keep it up in Week 7 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers? Coker had six receptions for 97 yards in Week 6 after being previously sidelined with a quadriceps injury. The third-year wideout also saw 75% of the snap share in that game, although it's likely his workload will balance out more with teammate Tetairoa McMillan against a struggling Buccaneers passing defense. Carolina has tougher defensive matchups down the road, but Coker should excel in a second straight healthy effort. Coker is a solid WR2 ahead of Week 7, with RotoBaller ranking him 18th in the position standings.

Jaxon Smith-Njigba a WR1 Despite Facing No. 1 Defense Against WRs
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba should be in for another WR1 outing against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 7. The Chiefs are No. 1 against opposing wide receivers in fantasy. However, JSN has faced two other top 10 defenses against wide receivers over the past two weeks in the Denver Broncos and San Francisco 49ers. He scored at least 22.8 fantasy points in both games. So far this season, Smith-Njigba has recorded fewer than 102 receiving yards in just one game. He has seven touchdowns to his name and is on pace to shatter his own receiving records from 2025. Seattle knows how to scheme Smith-Njigba the ball no matter the matchup. If Kansas City's offense is able to get rolling against Seattle's defense, JSN's services will be that much more necessary. Start him without any hesitation in Week 7.

Rashid Shaheed Could Receive Solid Volume in Potential Shootout in Week 7
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Rashid Shaheed could see decent volume in Week 7 against the Kansas City Chiefs. Shaheed received eight targets in Week 6 with Seattle seemingly attempting to find answers in the passing game outside of Jaxon Smith-Njigba. Shaheed managed to record five receptions for 66 yards. He would have had an even better fantasy day were it not for a lost fumble. If Seattle is serious about featuring more pass catchers, Shaheed figures to benefit. He currently sits second on the team in targets with 27. He is only catching 51.8% of those targets, so there is definitely room for improvement there. Shaheed faces a tough matchup in Week 7. Kansas City is No. 1 against opposing wide receivers in fantasy this season. They are allowing 112.2 receiving yards per game and just 16.08 fantasy points per game to opposing wideouts. Shaheed's best bet for fantasy value in Week 7 will come via a big play or solid volume if the Chiefs build a lead against Seattle. This is not a week in which you should start Shaheed, but if he receives solid volume again, he will be a player worth putting on the fantasy radar.

AJ Barner Ranked Outside the Top 25 Tight Ends in Week 7
Seattle Seahawks tight end AJ Barner is not a top 25 fantasy option in Week 7 against the Kansas City Chiefs. Although the Chiefs have been solid against most positions in fantasy this season, they are 29th against tight ends, allowing 16.08 fantasy points per game. As such, if you need a desperation start and want to play matchups, Barner is a potential sleeper. However, Barner continues to see very little volume in this offense. There does exist a world in which the Seahawks attack the Chiefs' weakness and use Barner more. His run-after-catch ability is something to exploit in this game. Still, Barner has exceeded four targets only twice this season. He has also only recorded more than three catches in one game. Unless he finds the end zone (which he has only done once), those types of numbers will not get it done for fantasy. Even with the good matchup, there are likely better options on the waiver wire. Leave Barner on waivers unless you are in a very deep league.

Tetairoa McMillan Offers Upside in Week 7 Matchup
Carolina Panthers wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan remains an effective fantasy asset as his team prepares for a Week 7 battle against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. McMillan had six receptions for 84 yards in Week 6 against the Philadelphia Eagles, which was a dip from his earlier production only because teammate Jalen Coker returned to the gridiron. Still, the 23-year-old should see his fair share of targets from Bryce Young against a struggling Buccaneers passing defense. He's a low-end WR2 with upside in Week 7.

Seahawks D/ST Faces Tough Matchup At Home in Week 7
The Seattle Seahawks D/ST will draw a matchup with the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 7. Opposing D/STs are averaging just 2.2 points against the Chiefs this season. Seattle is allowing 20.3 points per game this season, but the Chiefs' offense is scoring 28.0. This game will pit good against good. The matchup to watch is Chiefs running back Kenneth Walker III vs. his old team. Walker is averaging a whopping 133 rushing yards per game, while Seattle is allowing 96 rushing yards per game at 3.5 yards per carry. If the Seahawks can find a way to slow down Walker in his return to Seattle, this D/ST should have a solid day. However, if Walker gets loose, the Seahawks D/ST could be in for a long day. Either way, this unit is a risky play this week. They have forced a turnover in every game but two this season, but their ceiling is three fantasy points in such games. The Chiefs are not very turnover-prone, so fumbles and interceptions could be hard to come by. The Seahawks D/ST is ranked at No. 13 this week, just outside of the starting realm in 12-team leagues.

Chuba Hubbard Should Continue Dominance vs. Buccaneers
Carolina Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard should continue his consistent dominance when his team faces the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 7. Hubbard had 28 carries for 120 yards and one touchdown in a Week 6 win against the Philadelphia Eagles, bringing him to 89 carries for 426 yards and four touchdowns, with an additional 11 catches for 85 yards and two receiving touchdowns. With teammate Jonathon Brooks (core) still on the mend, Hubbard's heavy workload should continue. The Bucs have excelled at containing the run this season, allowing just 75.5 yards per game on the ground. However, it's highly unlikely any of that impacts the 27-year-old's workload or production. Hubbard is a must-start across fantasy formats.

Jason Myers in For Another Solid Week
Seattle Seahawks kicker Jason Myers will look to deliver another solid fantasy week in Week 7 against the Kansas City Chiefs. Myers missed his first field goal of the season in Week 6 against the Denver Broncos. Otherwise, he has been incredibly accurate this year. What is more, Myers has now attempted at least three field goals in two straight games. That is more in line with his field goal volume from 2025, which has resulted in better fantasy days. So far this season, Myers' floor has been five fantasy points, with a ceiling exceeding 20 points. The Chiefs' defense presents a tough matchup for Seattle's offense, but this team should still find itself in scoring position relatively often. Start Myers as a top 10 option in Week 7.

Bryce Young A Solid Starting Option vs. Buccaneers
Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young has exceeded early-season expectations and is set for an intriguing matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 7. Young completed 20 passes for 281 yards and two touchdowns in a 25-14 Week 6 win against the Philadelphia Eagles. He now has 1,549 passing yards, 12 total touchdowns, just two interceptions, and zero fumbles through five games this season. The Bucs' defense is allowing 224 passing yards per game this season, opening the door for Young to air the ball out to Tetairoa McMillan and Jalen Coker. Young is a low-end QB1 against an unreliable defense.

Emanuel Wilson to Serve as Lead Back for Another Week
The Seattle Seahawks surprisingly ruled running back Zach Charbonnet (knee) out for the Week 7 game on Sunday night against the Kansas City Chiefs after activating him from the Physically Unable to Perform list earlier this week. It means that Emanuel Wilson should maintain a lead-back role for one more week, albeit against a tough Chiefs defense. Still, the 27-year-old should at least be worth a look in a flex spot in Week 7 with Charbonnet still out. Wilson has had double-digit carries in four of six games played, including each of the last three weeks. Rookie first-rounder Jadarian Price (chest) remains on Injured Reserve, too, so Wilson will only have to compete with Holani this weekend against the Chiefs. The former undrafted free agent from Fort Valley State has 87 rushing attempts so far this year for 303 yards (3.5 yards per carry) and two touchdowns on the ground, adding five catches for 50 yards and another score as a receiver. Wilson will lose most of his fantasy appeal when Charbonnet returns, but that has been postponed for one week.

Dallas Goedert Misses Another Practice on Friday
Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert (knee) missed a second straight day of practice on Friday. The Philadelphia Inquirer's Jeff McLane said that as of Thursday, there was a sense of optimism that Goedert would be ready to play for the Monday night showdown against the division-rival Dallas Cowboys, but that sense could be changing quickly after a second straight DNP for the veteran tight end. In addition to Goedert, receivers DeVonta Smith (hamstring) and Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) missed a second straight practice and are trending in the wrong direction to play on Monday against Dallas. The 31-year-old Goedert missed Weeks 3 and 4 with an MCL sprain in his knee, so this injury could be related and require him to miss another game. Philly's offense is falling apart, with quarterback Jalen Hurts (blood clots) also out for the rest of the season. If Goedert, Smith, and Wicks cannot play, rookie first-rounder Makai Lemon figures to be QB Tanner McKee's top passing-game target. If Goedert draws a questionable tag, he will be an extremely shaky risk/reward TE1 in fantasy this week. The former second-rounder showed good chemistry with McKee in last week's loss to the Carolina Panthers, catching six of eight targets for 61 yards. He could be a safety blanket for the inexperienced QB once he is past his knee injury.
