Malachi Toney Looks To Bounce Back In Great Week 7 Matchup
Miami wide receiver Malachi Toney will look to bounce back against Florida State in the Week 7 ACC clash. This season, Toney ranks as the fantasy WR6 with 117.8 total fantasy points and 23.6 fantasy points per game. Toney's surface-level stats are elite: 39 catches for 604 yards and six touchdowns. He has also posted a 29.6% target share and has run 83.2% of his routes from the slot. In Week 5 against Clemson, Toney had his worst game of the season, with only 8.4 fantasy points: five catches for 40 yards and one rushing attempt for 19 yards. Luckily, Toney got a Week 6 bye to rest and now faces a fantasy-friendly matchup against Florida State, whose defense allows 244.7 passing yards and 25.3 points per game. RotoBaller ranks Toney as the WR14 for Week 7, and he should be started in all leagues.

Jeremiah Smith Looks To Continue Heisman Campaign In Week 7
Ohio State wide receiver Jeremiah Smith will face another daunting defense in Week 7 against #5 Indiana. A Heisman hopeful this season, Smith is the fantasy WR1 by a mile, with 182.1 fantasy points and an average of 30.4 fantasy points per game. The junior wide receiver has a legitimate chance to become the first wide receiver to win the Heisman since Alabama's Devonta Smith won the award in 2020. This season, he has 48 catches for 916 yards and 11 touchdowns. Smith has an elite 37.7% target share and a 15.1 ADOT. He had a "down week" in Week 6 against Maryland, failing to surpass 200 receiving yards for the third straight week, but he still found the end zone twice. Indiana may be up to the task of stopping Smith, as it allows only 188 passing yards per game. Smith is RotoBaller's WR1 for Week 7 and will likely stay there for the rest of the season.

Trinidad Chambliss Aims To Prove He's the QB1 In Week 7
Ole Miss quarterback Trinidad Chambliss will face a tough challenge in leading his team to victory in Week 7 against No. 13 Missouri. The Heisman hopeful quarterback has completed 70.1% of his passes for 1,435 yards and 11 touchdowns through five games. Chambliss has been incredibly efficient on the ground, turning just 32 carries into 113 rushing yards and five touchdowns. For the season, Chambliss is the fantasy QB16 in total points with 136.7 fantasy points; however, he is the QB8 in average fantasy points per game with 27.3 fantasy points per game. The joys of the SEC schedule are never having a down week, and that trend continues as Chambliss faces a tough Missouri defense that only allows 17.7 points per game. The Missouri defense has allowed only 13.76 fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks through the team's first P4 matchups. Chambliss has proven he can produce elite fantasy weeks against any defense, and RotoBaller ranks him as the QB6 for Week 7.

Demond Williams Jr. Questionable For Week 7
Washington quarterback Demond Williams Jr. is listed as questionable for Friday's Big Ten matchup against Purdue. On Monday's injury report, Williams Jr. was listed as doubtful, so the upgrade to questionable seemed positive, but Washington head coach Jedd Fisch said he is not under the impression Williams Jr. will play this week. Williams Jr. sustained a rib injury in the team's Week 6 41-24 loss to Iowa. Junior quarterback Elijah Brown replaced Williams Jr. early in the game and completed 28 of 39 pass attempts for 251 yards and three touchdowns.

Terrance Carter Jr. Hoping to Continue Upward Trend in Week 7
Texas Tech tight end Terrance Carter Jr. is coming off his best performance of the season and will look to match or better it in a Week 7 test against Arizona State. Carter caught eight passes for 67 yards and a touchdown in his last appearance. He has 13 catches for 129 yards and a score in just three games played overall. The matchup works in his favor this week, as Arizona State has allowed an average of 347.4 yards and 27.8 points per game so far. Carter is a better fantasy starting option in deeper leagues after a slow start to his year, but coming off a big game and going into a favorable matchup, he has starting appeal in all league types.

Trae'shawn Brown Looks to Keep Delivering With Limited Touches
Alabama running back Trae'shawn Brown hasn't been a workhorse, but he's delivered some solid fantasy performances and will try to put together another one in Week 7 against Tennessee. He has 51 carries for 301 yards and five touchdowns across six games so far, plus has caught five passes for an additional 33 yards. Brown has gotten double-digit carries on just two occasions this season, but has 66 or more rushing yards in three of his past four contests. Tennessee will be a bit tougher test for him, as the Volunteers' defense has allowed 293.7 yards and 15.5 points per game. Brown is a more confident starting option in deeper fantasy setups, but also has delivered enough to consider in all leagues.

Chris Marshall Looks to Remain Involved in Week 7 Test
Arkansas wide receiver Chris Marshall has been a pretty big part of the team's offense, and he will look to keep that going and turn that into a big fantasy showing against Vanderbilt in Week 7. Marshall has 42 receptions for 605 yards and two touchdowns in the first six games of his season. He has at least five receptions in each contest, while going for at least 56 yards. Vandy is a pretty favorable matchup for the wideout, as the Commodores' defense has surrendered 353.5 yards and 29.5 points per contest so far. Marshall's fantasy owners should have enough confidence to start the wide receiver this coming week, especially in deeper setups.

Darian Mensah Looks to Deliver in Good Week 7 Matchup
Miami quarterback Darian Mensah will look to lead his team to a Week 7 win over Florida State and also deliver big for his fantasy managers in the process. He has completed 84.2% of his passes across five games so far, accumulating 1,438 passing yards and 15 touchdowns, while still not throwing an interception. Mensah has rushed for 79 yards and two more scores on 12 attempts. His last game was the first time he hasn't thrown for at least three touchdowns, and with a rushing TD, Mensah still had a productive fantasy showing. Florida State is allowing 412.8 yards and 27.7 points per game, so Mensah's fantasy owners should be confident starting him in Week 7.

Rocky Beers Eyes Bounce-Back Showing in Week 7
Oklahoma tight end Rocky Beers struggled to produce in the team's upset win over Texas and he'll look to bounce back in another ranked matchup against Kentucky in Week 7. Beers had 29 receiving yards across four receptions against Texas, marking the second time in three games that he's underperformed as a fantasy asset. He has 22 catches for 284 yards and two touchdowns across five games overall. Beers has been a up-and-down fantasy asset, but the matchup against the Wildcats bodes well for the tight end. Kentucky allows 382.2 yards and 28 points per game, so there's some optimism for Beers putting together a better outing in Week 7.

KJ Duff Looks to Keep Rolling in Good Week 7 Matchup
Rutgers wide receiver KJ Duff has been a very good fantasy option to this point of the season, and a favorable Week 7 matchup against Maryland bodes well for the fantasy asset again. Across five games, Duff has 33 receptions for 628 yards and seven touchdowns. His last game was the first one he didn't catch a touchdown in, but he still had 78 yards across four receptions. Duff has at least four catches and 78 yards in every game, and that's still good fantasy production. Maryland has allowed 354 yards and 32.7 points per game so far, so the matchup is right for Duff to excel this week, so he should be started confidently.

Patrick Overmyer Hoping for More After Monster Performance
Houston tight end Patrick Overmyer is coming off a career game and will now look to keep things rolling in Week 7 against Oklahoma State. The Cougars' tight end caught eight passes for 83 yards and four touchdowns last week, plus had a rushing yard. Overmyer now has 33 catches for 400 yards and six touchdowns over six contests this season. He has at least six catches in all but two games, and has gone for at least 68 receiving yards in four straight contests. Oklahoma State is an OK matchup, as the Cowboys' defense surrenders 328.8 yards and 21.4 points per game so far this season. Fantasy owners should be confident starting Overmyer, especially after his latest performance.

Jamal Roberts a Strong Fantasy Option as Lead Back Still
Missouri running back Jamal Roberts looks to continue his big fantasy season against a ranked Ole Miss team in Week 7. Roberts has been the workhorse back for the Tigers, and that should continue with Ahmad Hardy not back in the mix yet. Roberts has 147 rushing attempts over six games, racking up 828 yards and eight touchdowns, plus catching 11 passes for 84 yards. He has 22 or more carries in each of the past five contests, and has five rushing scores over the past two weeks combined. Despite facing a ranked opponent, Roberts' outlook for Week 7 is solid, as Ole Miss has surrendered 392.4 yards and 28 points per game so far this season.

Cayden Lee Looking to Continue Big Season in Tough Week 7 Test
Missouri wide receiver Cayden Lee hopes to keep delivering big in the team's ranked matchup against Ole Miss in Week 7. Lee has caught 42 passes over the team's first six contests, going for 616 yards and five touchdowns so far. He has at least five receptions in each contest, and over 47 yards in each game too. Lee has scored in all but two games, so he's been a very good fantasy asset so far. His Week 7 matchup is still OK despite the ranked opponent, as Ole Miss allows 392.4 yards and 28 points per game, so fantasy owners should be confident in Lee delivering again this week.

CJ Carr Eyes Big Performance in Tough Week 7 Test
Notre Dame quarterback CJ Carr will look to deliver big in the team's battle with BYU in Week 7. Carr has completed 70.8% of his passes across six games so far, racking up 1,378 passing yards and 16 touchdowns, while only having one interception. He has 69 rushing yards and three touchdowns across 17 attempts as well. BYU is allowing just 254.4 yards and 13.4 points per game so far, but Notre Dame will also be the Cougars' toughest challenge to this point of the season. At this point, fantasy owners should have confidence in Carr in any matchup, but expectations for him this coming weekend should be tempered just a bit.

Blaze Berlowitz Out a Month After Surgery
Vanderbilt quarterback Blaze Berlowitz (collarbone) had surgery on a broken collarbone on Tuesday. The injury will cost him a month of play, according to head coach Clark Lea. Berlowitz started for the Commodores against Georgia when regular starting QB Jared Curtis was injured. He was 12-of-23 passing in that game, throwing for 190 yards, a touchdown and an interception. Berlowitz has 386 passing yards, a touchdown and a pick while completing 52.8% of his passes over five appearances this season. He's added 110 rushing yards and a score across 25 attempts. Curtis will start when healthy, but if he ever misses more time over the next month, it'd likely be Whit Muschamp getting the call as the next QB.

Leonard Moore has Chance to Return in Week 7
There's optimism that Notre Dame defensive back Leonard Moore (concussion) could return for the team's showdown with BYU in Week 7. Across five games so far this year, Moore has eight tackles. Moore had 79 combined tackles across his first two seasons with Notre Dame, along with seven interceptions and three forced fumbles. The Fighting Irish defense has been stout this season, but could use their star cornerback for the test against BYU. The Cougars are averaging 433.4 yards and 34.6 points per game so far. Notre Dame's defense is allowing just 214.2 yards and 11 points per contest through six games, but this will be the unit's toughest test yet.

Faizon Brandon Practices Tuesday
Tennessee quarterback Faizon Brandon (shoulder) practiced on Tuesday. He did not play in the team's win over Arkansas this past week. If he's not able to go this week, it will likely be George MacIntyre starting against Alabama. Brandon has played in five games so far, completing 60.4% of his passes for 697 yards, seven touchdowns and one interception. He's also rushed for 130 yards and three scores over 53 attempts. MacIntyre was 18-of-29 passing in last week's win - he threw for 247 yards and a touchdown, but also threw two interceptions. He didn't add anything on the ground. Whichever quarterback starts will have a tough test ahead against the Crimson Tide, who allow 336.3 yards and 20.7 points per game so far.

Ahmad Hardy Not Ready to Return Yet
Missouri running back Ahmad Hardy (leg) has not begun practicing yet, so he's at least a couple of weeks away from returning, according to head coach Eli Drinkwitz. The coach noted that the back hasn't begun a two-week ramp-up period yet. Hardy was at Missouri last year after spending his first collegiate season with Louisiani-Monroe. The RB had 1,649 rushing yards and 16 touchdowns across his 13 games with Missouri last year, while also catching six passes for 22 more yards. This year, it's been Jamal Roberts leading the backfield, carrying the ball 147 times already for 828 yards and eight touchdowns. Xai'Shaun Edwards has 124 yards and a score across 36 attempts. When Hardy is back, Edwards' role could shrink even more, while Hardy could also eat into Roberts' workload.

Khobie Martin Getting Close to Returning
Indiana running back Khobie Martin (forearm) is nearing a return, according to head coach Curt Cignetti. He played in the season opener and got injured in the first series he played in, just two plays in. Martin is in his third collegiate season and had played 16 games coming into this season. The RB didn't do much in 2024, but carried the ball 78 times for 505 yards and six touchdowns during the team's title run in 2025. With Martin out of the picture, it's been running backs Lee Beebe and Turbo Richard leading the backfield, carrying the ball 98 and 71 times, respectively. Beebe has 551 yards and four scores, while Richard has 597 yards and five touchdowns. Martin being active again could mean less work for Beebe and Richard, so that's something to keep in mind when it happens.
