Dallas Cowboys wide receiver
CeeDee Lamb will make his return in Week 7 against Washington after missing three games with a high-ankle sprain. Lamb practiced in full on Friday and was removed from the injury report ahead of Sunday. He's not expected to have any workload restrictions in his first game back and should reclaim his spot as the top target earner for QB
Dak Prescott, who is playing as well as anyone in the league right now. It's a favorable matchup for Lamb against a gettable Washington secondary. Lamb will rank as one of the top WR options in fantasy for Week 7.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver
Mike Evans' (hamstring) status for his team's Week 7 matchup against the Detroit Lions is "considered a pre-game decision," per ESPN's Adam Schefter. Schefter also notes that "there is more hope" for Evans than fellow Bucs wideout
Emeka Egbuka (hamstring), who is also considered a game-time decision with a hamstring injury. Evans has missed the last three weeks for Tampa Bay after injuring his hamstring in Week 3. With Egbuka potentially sidelined and
Chris Godwin (fibula) ruled out, Evans would likely dominate targets in Week 7 if he can make his return to the field. If he remains out, Buccaneers wideouts
Sterling Shepard,
Tez Johnson, and
Kameron Johnson would all likely see an uptick in playing time and target share. Should Evans be available, he profiles as a high-end fantasy WR2 in Week 7 against Detroit.

Jacksonville Jaguars rookie running back
Bhayshul Tuten should remain the full-time backup to
Travis Etienne Jr. with limited work against the Los Angeles Rams. So far this season, the rookie running back hasn’t gotten many touches, but has been efficient enough with them to show promise (4.1 yards per carry, 9.8 yards per reception). He also has found the end zone twice, so managers can definitely do worse for a desperate spot start. Unfortunately for dynasty-minded managers who thought Tuten could produce right away, he should continue to be an intriguing handcuff at best until an injury to Etienne Jr. Leave Tuten on the bench for this Week 7 London trip.

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver
Dyami Brown (shoulder) is still dealing with this nagging shoulder injury, but even if he was fully healthy, it would be hard to view him as a reliable fantasy option. Besides Week 2 against the Bengals, Brown has not been productive this season. Even last week with tight end Brenton Strange out and more targets were available, Brown mustered just two catches for 13 yards and 7 rushing yards. It’s possible the shoulder injury has been holding him back both from more opportunity and better production, but it’s more likely Brown is an afterthought in the game plan at this point. Brown should remain out of lineups in a Week 7 London matchup with the Rams.

New England Patriots kicker
Andy Borregales has lacked fantasy appeal through the first six games of his NFL career, but he has emerged as a low-end streamer for Week 7 against the Tennessee Titans. Borregales has two factors working in his favor this Sunday. First of all, he has kicked quite well lately, going 10-for-10 on extra points and 4-for-4 on field goals over his last four games. The field goal sample size is relatively small, which has lowered his ceiling, but you can't gripe about a 100 percent accuracy rate. Second, the Patriots should find themselves in scoring position quite often against the Titans. Extra points may be more common than field goals, but still, volume is king, and Borregales should be busy on Sunday. Borregales ranks as the #16 kicker in RotoBaller's expert rankings, giving him low-end streaming appeal in deeper leagues.

Jacksonville Jaguars kicker
Cam Little has a chance for a solid day in Week 7 against the Los Angeles Rams. In what should be a close matchup between two 4-2 teams, Little should have opportunities in what could be a tough game overall in London. The Jaguars' offense is good enough to move the ball well, while the Rams' defense is good enough to make plenty of defensive stops, which could mean a recipe for plenty of field goal opportunities. Little has been reliable from an accuracy and distance standpoint, so fantasy managers should feel fine starting Little in Week 7.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver
Chris Godwin (leg) will miss his second straight game in Week 7 against the Detroit Lions due to a fibula injury. Godwin missed the first three weeks of the 2025 season while still recovering from a lower leg injury that ended his 2024 season. He recorded six catches for 52 yards on 14 targets across Weeks 5 and 6, but it appears he's still having lower-body issues that will keep him on the sidelines. Buccaneers wide receivers
Mike Evans (hamstring) and
Emeka Egbuka (hamstring) are both game-time decisions in Week 7, so Tampa Bay's wide receiver room is in flux. If one or both of Evans and Egbuka are out, the Buccaneers will likely rely on at least one of
Sterling Shepard,
Tez Johnson, and/or
Kameron Johnson for wide receiver production against Detroit.

The Jacksonville Jaguars defense/special teams unit is a low-end starting option against the Los Angeles Rams in London. The Rams are normally a prolific offense under head coach Sean McVay, but star wide receiver Puka Nacua will be out, making them more susceptible to mistakes than usual. The unit started the season strong, but has struggled the last two weeks against the Chiefs and Seahawks, putting them now at third in fantasy points scored. The upside due to matchup isn’t really there, but the Jaguars D/ST is at least startable in the Week 7 London game based on their overall strong start to the season and ability to force turnovers.

The New England Patriots defense/special teams has been trending up over the last few weeks, and they'll get an even more favorable matchup against the Tennessee Titans in Week 7. Tennessee has limped to a 1-5 start and continues to trend in the wrong direction after firing head coach Brian Callahan midseason. Rookie No. 1 pick
Cameron Ward has three touchdowns and eight total turnovers, making it difficult for the Tennessee offense to move the ball and score points. This bodes well for the Patriots, who have forced four turnovers over their last two games. The Titans have allowed the most fantasy points to opposing D/ST units in Week 7, making New England a must-start in all leagues. RotoBaller's expert rankings have the Patriots D/ST ranked #1 this week.

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver
Drake London is coming off back-to-back 100-yard efforts, with a touchdown in both games as well. The 24-year-old is averaging over 10 targets and six catches per contest, with Week 7 bringing a matchup with the 49ers on Sunday night. The San Francisco defense has allowed the 18th-most half-point fantasy PPR points thus far, but has been much more susceptible to the pass in recent weeks with the losses of Nick Bosa (knee) and Fred Warner (ankle). Fellow wideout
Darnell Mooney (hanstring) is questionable for this game, but if active, his presence should not diminish London's role, which is the unquestioned No. 1 receiver with a whopping 32.9 percent target share in 2025. The 6-foot-4 wide receiver's heavy usage on a weekly basis consistently puts him in the WR1 range, and he'll be a mid-range WR1 again versus the 49ers.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookie wide receiver
Emeka Egbuka (hamstring) suffered a hamstring injury in Week 6 that caused him to miss practice on both Thursday and Friday of this week. However, Egbuka was able to log a limited practice on Saturday, and his status for his team's Week 7 game against the Detroit Lions on Monday will be a "game-time decision," per Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles. Egbuka has been excellent through the first six weeks of his NFL career, recording 27 catches for 469 yards and five touchdowns on 42 targets. Fantasy managers are now faced with a tough choice in Week 7, as they likely will not know whether Egbuka is active until Monday evening. The Buccaneers could get star wideout
Mike Evans (hamstring) back from a hamstring injury against Detroit, but he remains a game-time decision as well. Tampa Bay will rely on
Sterling Shepard,
Tez Johnson, and
Kameron Johnson for wide receiver production if Egbuka remains out.

New England Patriots tight end
Hunter Henry has seen his fantasy production fluctuate on a week-by-week basis this year, ultimately ranking as the overall TE8 (PPR) through six contests. While his numbers have been enough to justify starting him in most weeks, managers may want to look elsewhere for production at the tight end position in Week 7. This week, Henry takes on the Tennessee Titans. Not only will the Patriots likely enjoy a positive game script -- leading to increased rush attempts and fewer pass attempts -- but the Titans have also been solid against the tight end position. Through Week 6, Tennessee has allowed the eighth-fewest fantasy points to tight ends. Henry's fantasy production this season has been largely based on game script and matchup, so with both of those factors not in his favor this week, the veteran is tough to trust. He ranks outside the top 12 fantasy tight ends ahead of Week 7 against the Titans.

New England Patriots wide receiver
DeMario Douglas enjoyed plenty of success last Sunday against the New Orleans Saints, but he could come back down to earth in Week 7 against the Tennessee Titans. It was refreshing to see Douglas catch three passes for 71 yards and a touchdown last weekend, but in the five games prior to that, he was averaging just 1.4 catches, six yards, and 0.2 touchdowns per contest. If the start of the season is any indication, the slot receiver's breakout game last weekend is more of an anomaly than a sign of things to come. Right now, managers interested in the Patriots' receivers should have more faith in
Stefon Diggs and
Kayshon Boutte than Douglas. Heading into a matchup against the Titans, who have allowed the 15th-most fantasy points to wide receivers in 2025, Douglas is not a reliable fantasy option.

Dallas Cowboys rookie running back
Jaydon Blue has seen his first NFL game action over the last two weeks, but he's yet to play a significant role in the team's offense. Through two games, Blue has recorded seven rushing yards on seven carries and has not been targeted by Cowboys quarterback
Dak Prescott. With veteran Cowboys back
Miles Sanders (knee, ankle) on Injured Reserve, Blue figures to have an extended run as the team's RB2 behind
Javonte Williams. Still, it would appear that the team does not currently trust Blue to do much beyond give Williams the occasional play off. That seems unlikely to change in a crucial divisional matchup in Week 7 against the Washington Commanders. Blue maintains long-term fantasy appeal as a handcuff, but he's not startable for fantasy managers in Week 7.
--Will BradySource: RotoBaller

New England Patriots wide receiver
Kayshon Boutte was one of the top fantasy breakouts in Week 6, and he'll look to carry that momentum into another favorable matchup against the Tennessee Titans in Week 7. Boutte exploded last Sunday with five catches, 93 yards, and two touchdowns, taking advantage of a Saints defense that is notoriously poor against perimeter receivers. The Titans' run defense is far weaker than their pass defense, but Boutte still has an opportunity to excel with a positive game script in place. The Patriots could take several deep shots, looking to run up the score or take advantage of a defense that recently endured turmoil with the mid-season firing of head coach Brian Callahan. Boutte continues to be an intriguing WR3/flex with additional upside.
