New Orleans Saints running back
Kendre Miller recorded eight carries for 21 yards and added one reception for 11 yards in Week 6's loss to the Patriots. His 2.6 yards per carry wasn't surprising, as New England allows just 83.5 rushing yards per game, the fourth-best mark in the league. Before this contest, Miller had logged double-digit touches in back-to-back games, totalling 114 yards and a touchdown. He'll look to get back on track against a Bears defense surrendering 156.4 rushing yards per game, the second-worst mark in the league. Miller is still fighting for a consistent role in the offense, but the favorable matchup gives him some Flex appeal in Week 7.

The Denver Broncos' defense has been one of the toughest to face in 2025. Allowing only 15.8 ppg and six touchdowns on the season coming into Week 7, they should be able to suppress New York Giants rookies
Jaxson Dart and
Cam Skattebo as they get even stronger with Broncos linebacker Dre Greenlaw returning from IR this week. After collecting nine sacks last week versus the New York Jets in London, they lead the league in sacks with 30 so far this season. Look for the Broncos to continue their dominance as RotoBaller's 2nd-ranked defense in Week 7.

Denver Broncos kicker
Wil Lutz will look to maintain his momentum from London in Week 7 against the New York Giants at home on Sunday. Superbly reliable this year when given opportunities, Lutz has been able to attempt and make one 50+ yard field goal in each of the past two weeks. Lutz has also been flawless in PAT attempts this year and has only missed one field goal attempt on the season, coming into Week 7. The Giants have ceded 16 field goal attempts on the season so far, and it's possible Lutz can shine against them. Start Lutz as RotoBaller's 10th-ranked kicker for Week 7.

Denver Broncos rookie running back
RJ Harvey still profiles as the passing-down back for the offense as they face the New York Giants at home in Week 7. Harvey has had some splash plays this season and hasn't necessarily been bad with the ball in his hands. Still, with veteran running back
J.K. Dobbins performing so well, he will likely be delegated as the passing back in the offense until further notice. Having 15 targets in the past four weeks is a healthy number and really amplifies his value were Dobbins ever to miss any time. As RotoBaller's 38th-ranked running back in Week 7, he will still be hard to trust in lineups but is on the FLEX radar in deep leagues.

Denver Broncos running back
J.K. Dobbins has been the lead back for the offense in 2025 and looks to bounce back from a tough Week 6 against the New York Giants this week. The Giants have been giving up 128.8 rushing yards per game so far this season, and Dobbins should be able to take advantage of that at home on Sunday. Despite how poor Week 6 was in logging 14 carries for just 40 yards, Dobbins has still been averaging 4.86 yards per carry on the season. As RotoBaller's 16th-ranked running back for Week 7, fantasy managers should feel confident in starting Dobbins in a plus matchup.

Denver Broncos Tight End
Evan Engram will likely continue to be a focal point of the offense in Week 7 against the New York Giants at home. Coming off a season high of six touches, he should still be relied upon as a great check-down for Broncos quarterback
Bo Nix. Engram has had at least six targets in the last three weeks and should continue to earn a fair share of the targets. If Engram finds himself on the field for his first game over 50% of the offensive snaps, he could become a more reliable option moving forward. As RotoBaller's 18th-ranked tight end for Week 7, Engram is still a touchdown-dependent option.

Denver Broncos wide receiver
Troy Franklin should maintain his role as the WR2 as he faces the New York Giants defense in Week 7. After a rough outing in London, which included four targets for three catches, 19 receiving yards, and a fumble to wash it away, Franklin will look to bounce back against a defense that has allowed 242 passing yards per game this season. While Franklin's snap percentage has continued to hover just below 60% for the past three weeks after having a share closer to 80% in Week 2 and Week 3, it will be tough to trust Franklin in Week 7 as he's RotoBaller's 59th-ranked wide receiver for Week 7.

Denver Broncos wide receiver
Courtland Sutton looks to rebound as he faces the New York Giants at home in Week 7. Maybe we can chalk Week 6 up to the jet lag the Broncos might've had in London, but Sutton will be well rested as he takes the field as the clear WR1 for their offense. Broncos quarterback
Bo Nix will certainly be looking his way as they could find themselves pressured to keep up with the Giants' offense, which just scored 34 points in Week 6 while facing the Philadelphia Eagles. Continue starting Sutton as RotoBaller's 12th overall-ranked wide receiver for Week 7.
--Luke DeMarcusSource: ESPN
October 18, 2025
Denver Broncos quarterback
Bo Nix comes into Week 7 as RotoBaller's 12th-ranked quarterback as he faces the New York Giants at home on Sunday. After Nix struggled against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 6 in London, he'll be looking to bounce back against a defense that has averaged 242 passing yards per game so far this season and has given up seven passing touchdowns so far. Coming into the week with nine touchdowns on the season, Nix should be able to exploit the defense, as they have the home-field advantage. Start Nix this week as a fringe QB1 in 12-team leagues.

New Orleans Saints quarterback
Spencer Rattler completed 20-of-26 passes for 227 scoreless yards and added four rushes for 20 yards in Week 6's loss to the Patriots. He attempted a season-low 26 passes but committed zero turnovers for the fifth time in six games, and his 6:1 touchdown-to-interception ratio ranks seventh in the league. Rattler has been efficient, completing 68.5% of his passes, though he's averaging just six yards per attempt, 28th in the league. He looks to maintain that efficiency and find the end zone against the Bears in Week 7, who have allowed a league-worst 2.6 passing touchdowns per game. Rattler profiles as a high-upside QB2 or Superflex option in the matchup.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver
Kendrick Bourne has shone as of late. Although the wideout still hasn't scored a touchdown, he's certainly made up for it by combining for 15 catches (20 targets) for 284 yards in his last two appearances. With
Brock Purdy (toe) still out,
Mac Jones should continue to look in his direction in Week 7 versus a potent Falcons defense. While
George Kittle (hamstring) will make his return after getting injured in the Week 1 win over the Seattle Seahawks, Bourne could continue to get more attention than
Jauan Jennings (ankle, rib, shoulder), who had only one catch in the recent loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. With that in mind, Bourne has done enough to earn a spot in any fantasy lineup despite a challenging matchup on tap.

Washington Commanders tight end
Zach Ertz (shoulder, calf) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's divisional matchup against the Cowboys. He missed practice to begin the week, then practiced in full on Thursday before being downgraded to limited on Friday. That puts his status for Sunday in question. The veteran bounced back in Week 6 with six catches (six targets) for 43 yards and a touchdown. After being held catchless in Week 5 for the first time in over a decade, Ertz and QB
Jayden Daniels got back on the same page. Ertz could be relied on heavily again if he is active in Week 7 against the Cowboys with
Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) out and
Deebo Samuel Sr. (heel) questionable for Sunday.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver
Jauan Jennings (ribs, ankle, shoulder) practiced in full on Friday and doesn't carry an injury designation heading into Sunday night's game against the Falcons. The 28-year-old has been banged up all year. Unfortunately, he hasn't looked the best, catching only 10 passes for 136 yards and one touchdown.
Ricky Pearsall (knee) and
Marquez Valdes-Scantling (calf) won't be available. However, the 49ers will get
George Kittle (hamstring) back after being on the shelf since the Week 1 win over the Seattle Seahawks. With a recent uptick in production from
Kendrick Bourne and Kittle's return, Jennings may not be the safest fantasy option in Week 7 versus a tough Falcons defense.

Kansas City Chiefs tight end
Travis Kelce will face the Las Vegas Raiders at home in Week 7. Kelce caught six passes for 78 yards as he led the Chiefs pass catchers against the Detroit Lions in Week 6. The veteran tight end has strung together back-to-back good games, but that solid production could be coming to an end.
Rashee Rice is set to return from suspension in Week 7, which could negatively impact Kelce's offensive contributions. Rice had an outstanding start to the 2024 season, averaging over 20 PPR points per game, but Kelce was not effective during that span. At the beginning of the 2024 season, the Chiefs tight end had eight catches for 69 yards through three games. Kelce and Rice win in the same areas of the field, and the latter is much more explosive at this point. It remains to be seen how the usage will be divided amongst the Chiefs pass catchers, so Kelce should still be a viable starter against Las Vegas this week. The Raiders have allowed the eighth-fewest points to opposing tight ends this season, but that does not mean it will be a bad matchup for Kelce. He can find success against the Raiders if
Patrick Mahomes decides to feed him. Kelce is ranked TE8 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings, making him a solid TE1 this week.

Washington Commanders wide receiver
Chris Moore has benefited from the absences of
Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) and
Noah Brown (groin), running the most routes of any Washington WR besides
Deebo Samuel Sr. over the past few weeks. And Samuel's status for Sunday is uncertain as he continues to manage a heel injury. Moore made his first splash since being in Washington in Week 6 against Chicago, catching three of five targets for 46 yards and a touchdown on an athletic spinning catch. While Moore has run a decent number of routes lately, he hasn't been a target earner, recording just nine over the past three weeks. However, he has operated as Washington's preferred outside receiver and draws a matchup against a Dallas defense that has been torched this season, allowing the most PPR points per game. Moore is worth considering as a flex option in deeper leagues.
