Jahmyr Gibbs Avoids Injury Late in Week 7 Win Over Packers
Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs did not find the end zone in Sunday's 20-17 win over the division-rival Green Bay Packers in Week 7, but he still did plenty for his fantasy managers, carrying the ball a whopping 29 times for 116 yards while catching five of his six targets for 27 yards. Gibbs did lose a fumble, and he looked like he might have tweaked something when going down in bounds late in the fourth quarter to set up the game-winning field goal. However, the Detroit Free Press' Dave Birkett reports that Gibbs was fine after the game and avoided an injury when he went down to the turf awkwardly in Detroit. The 24-year-old former 12th overall pick from Alabama has been advertised in 2026 as one of the best all-around RBs in the game. Sunday was the first time this year that Gibbs has not found the end zone, but he has 100-plus scrimmage yards in five of six games and entered Week 7 with a league-high nine touchdowns. Gibbs will have his toughest matchup of the season next week against the division-rival Minnesota Vikings, who have not lost, but he will still be a must-start in all fantasy football leagues with an elite volume share as Detroit's best offensive weapon.

RJ Harvey Leads Broncos in Receiving Yards in Week 7
Denver Broncos running back RJ Harvey did not do much as a rusher in his team's Week 7 win over the Arizona Cardinals, logging just three carries for six yards. However, the second-year back made a major impact as a receiver, hauling in two catches for 54 yards and a touchdown on two targets. Harvey has emerged as a critical piece of the Broncos' pass game in 2026, recording 25 catches for 217 yards and two touchdowns on 28 targets across six games played. Harvey figures to split carries with fellow Denver backs J.K. Dobbins and Jonah Coleman most weeks, which caps his upside as a rusher and fantasy running back overall. Still, Harvey's work as a pass-catcher makes him an intriguing deep-league PPR flex option for fantasy managers.

Tyler Allgeier Plays Second Fiddle in Loss to Broncos
Arizona Cardinals running back Tyler Allgeier rushed eight times for 19 yards (2.4 yards per attempt) and caught all three of his targets in the passing game for 30 yards (10.0 yards per reception) in a 30-16 Week 7 loss to the Denver Broncos. He did not score. For the second consecutive week, despite starter Jeremiyah Love (ankle) being out with an ankle injury, Allgeier was out-produced by fellow running back Bam Knight. Allgeier played 38 offensive snaps on Sunday, while Knight earned 43 snaps. Knight rushed just seven times, but tallied 48 rushing yards (6.9 yards per carry) and added three receptions for 15 yards (5.0 yards per reception). With Knight's emergence and Love expected back at some point, Allgeier's fantasy relevance is starting to slide. Still, Allgeier is worth stashing as long as Love remains out.

AJ Dybantsa Out Again Monday
Washington Wizards forward AJ Dybantsa (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Charlotte Hornets with a left ankle sprain. The No. 1 overall pick suffered the injury in the preseason finale and will now miss his fourth straight game to begin his NBA career. Bilal Coulibaly has started each game in Dybantsa's absence, while Tre Johnson has provided scoring off the bench, averaging 13.7 points through three contests with a 20-point effort against Toronto. Dybantsa remains day-to-day, with Wednesday's matchup in Cleveland representing his next chance to make his regular-season debut.

Puka Nacua Not Slowed by Calf Injury, Scores a TD in Week 7 Win
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua came into the Week 7 tilt against the hosting Las Vegas Raiders with a questionable designation due to a calf injury that he suffered in Thursday's practice. Nacua ended up playing and did not look slowed at all by his calf, leading the Rams in all receiving categories with eight catches on 10 targets for 68 yards and a touchdown in the 35-21 blowout win on the road to get the Rams back in the win column and prevent a 2-5 start to the season. He added two carries for 10 yards on the ground. This was L.A.'s first game without veteran wideout Davante Adams, who is expected to miss anywhere from six to 10 weeks with a hamstring injury he suffered in the Week 6 upset loss to the division-rival Arizona Cardinals. It was not a surprise that Nacua led the team in targets by a good margin, as veteran quarterback Matthew Stafford leaned on the Pro Bowl pass-catcher to help the Rams' offense bounce back after a slow start to the 2026 season. It was nice to see Nacua get back into the end zone for only the second time this year. Nacua will be a must-start fantasy receiver with a massive target share going into a Week 8 contest against the winless Los Angeles Chargers, who will be coming off their bye.

Jameson Williams Continues Recent Hot Streak in Week 7
Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams had a huge game in his team's Week 7 win over the Green Bay Packers, logging five catches for 91 yards and two touchdowns on nine targets. The 25-year-old got off to a slow start to the 2026 season, logging just 10 catches and zero touchdowns over the first three weeks of the season. However, Williams has picked up his production since then, recording 13 catches for 240 yards and four touchdowns on 21 targets over his last three games. Williams has a long track record of both spike weeks and major letdown games, so fantasy managers should not expect him to provide consistent production. Still, the explosive wideout is capable of monster performances at any time, particularly in games where the Lions are forced into pass-heavy game scripts.

Jalen Suggs Helped to Locker Room with Right-Knee Injury
Orlando Magic guard Jalen Suggs (knee) was helped to the locker room late in Sunday's game against the New York Knicks after grabbing his right knee following a transition play, according to the Orlando Sentinel's Jason Beede. Suggs had four points, six rebounds, and six assists before exiting. The 25-year-old missed time last season with an MCL contusion in the same knee, so his availability for Wednesday in Toronto will be worth watching closely. If Suggs has to sit, Anthony Black could be pushed into a much larger on-ball role with Paolo Banchero (ankle) already out.

Kyren Williams Productive, But Continues to Split Backfield Touches
Los Angeles Rams running back Kyren Williams had a productive day in a 35-21 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 7. He recorded 16 carries for 99 yards (6.2 yards per attempt) and a touchdown, while adding two receptions for 22 yards (11.0 yards per catch). However, Williams also lost a fumble, and he continues to split carries with fellow running back Blake Corum. Williams played 37 offensive snaps compared to 32 for Corum. Meanwhile, Corum tallied 17 rushes for 93 yards (5.5 yards per carry) and a touchdown of his own. Corum also had one reception for eight yards. As a team, the Rams rushed for 199 yards and 5.2 yards per carry against the Raiders. While it is evident at this point that L.A. prefers to split up carries between Williams and Corum relatively evenly, Williams continues to produce as an RB1 and still must be started in all formats.

Mason Taylor Breaks Out in Week 7
New York Jets tight end Mason Taylor was one of the bright spots of his team's 28-25 Week 7 loss to the Miami Dolphins, hauling in five catches for 62 yards and two touchdowns on six targets. After suffering a thumb injury in Week 2 that caused him to miss Weeks 3 and 4 as well, Taylor has quietly worked his way back into a prominent role in the Jets' passing game since returning. Across the last three weeks, the 22-year-old has hauled in 12 receptions for 119 yards and two touchdowns on 15 targets. Taylor appears to be New York's preferred tight end option over first-round rookie Kenyon Sadiq, who has just four catches for 21 yards over the team's last three games. Heading into a Week 8 matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders, Taylor could be an intriguing tight end streamer for fantasy managers.

Jonathan Taylor Stays Hot as his Future Remains Uncertain
Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor does not have a 100-yard game so far in 2026, but he continues to produce as a strong RB1 for fantasy managers. In the team's 16-10 loss on the road to the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday, Taylor had 18 carries for 95 yards (5.3 yards per carry) and a touchdown, adding two catches on three targets for 15 yards through the air. As usual, the 27-year-old carried Indy's struggling offense. Despite being in a struggling offense, Taylor continues to produce, going over 100 scrimmage yards four times already while scoring on the ground eight times. He has surpassed 90 rushing yards in five of seven games this year. The future of the Colts' organization is a bit murky after ownership fired long-time general manager Chris Ballard this week, with head coach Shane Steichen potentially joining him soon on the chopping block. A handful of NFL teams are reportedly interested in acquiring Taylor before the Nov. 10 trade deadline, but it is unclear if the Colts will sell the talented RB for draft assets. A move to a contending team would likely make Taylor even more dangerous in fantasy. If he remains with the Colts for Week 8, Taylor will be in search of his first 100-yard game against the division-rival Jacksonville Jaguars next Sunday.

Isaiah Joe Exits Sunday's Game with Hip Injury
Detroit Pistons guard/forward Isaiah Joe (hip) will not return to Sunday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers after suffering a hip contusion on a hard fall following a fast-break dunk attempt. The 27-year-old's exit adds to a depleted Detroit rotation already missing Jalen Duren (hamstring) and Ausar Thompson (ankle). Joe averaged a career-high 11.1 points while shooting 42.3% from three in his final season with Oklahoma City. If the hip keeps him out Tuesday against New York, Kevin Huerter could be asked to pick up more of the perimeter workload, while Ron Holland II and Javonte Green would have room for a few extra wing minutes.

Tetairoa McMillan Has Low Output in Blowout Loss to Bucs
Carolina Panthers wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan posted four receptions (on six targets) for 40 yards (10.0 yards per catch) and did not find the end zone in a 43-13 blowout loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 7. He played 38 offensive snaps. The lopsided loss made it difficult for any Panther player to put up large numbers on Sunday, but it was McMillan's second-lowest output of the 2026 season (two receptions for 17 yards in Week 3). Still, McMillan led Carolina in targets and tied for the team lead in receptions with running back Chuba Hubbard. Quarterback Bryce Young only threw for 163 yards on the day, and 50 of those came on his lone touchdown pass to tight end Darren Waller. This game is likely an anomaly, as the Panthers found themselves down 33-6 at halftime. McMillan will remain heavily involved in Carolina's passing game and is still a must-start player. He will look to bounce back on Thursday Night Football against the Green Bay Packers in Week 8.

Matthew Golden Held in Check in Week 7 Loss
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Matthew Golden looked to have a juicy matchup in Week 7 against the struggling Detroit Lions defense. However, Golden was held in check in Green Bay's 20-17 loss, recording six catches for 39 yards on 12 targets. The 23-year-old had multiple chances to make big plays down the field, but he and Packers quarterback Jordan Love were never quite able to connect. Golden has been an explosive deep threat in the Green Bay offense for most of 2026, as he's now logged 36 catches for 540 yards and three touchdowns on 69 targets across seven games. While his Week 7 production is a disappointment for fantasy managers, it's encouraging that Golden remained a heavily featured pass-catcher in his team's offense. As long as he continues to consistently earn targets, Golden should have a chance to bounce back in the weeks to come.

Kendrick Bourne Produces a Dud in Week 7 Loss to Denver
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Kendrick Bourne became an interesting waiver-wire pickup when the Cardinals traded former first-rounder Marvin Harrison Jr. to the Houston Texans, as he now has a clear runway to WR2 duties in the desert behind Michael Wilson. Bourne stepped up in the last two weeks, with 10 catches on 16 targets for 117 yards through the air. He fell flat in Sunday's Week 7 loss to the visiting Denver Broncos' defense, though, catching three of his six targets for a season-worst nine yards. Bourne tied for the third-most targets on the team behind star tight end Trey McBride (13) and Wilson (eight). Fantasy managers who picked Bourne up probably were not happy to see Jalen Brooks targeted six times, but he only caught one of them for a 35-yard gain. Bourne is not much more than a deep-league flex, but he will have a prime bounce-back matchup next Sunday against the Cowboys in Dallas. With McBride drawing most of veteran quarterback Jacoby Brissett's attention on a weekly basis, Bourne is battling as the third passing-game option with Brooks.

Jalen Williams Leaves on Stretcher Sunday
Oklahoma City Thunder forward Jalen Williams (ankle) left the game on a stretcher late Sunday against the Los Angeles Clippers after suffering an apparent ankle injury. The 25-year-old had already made an earlier trip to the locker room, returned, and later finished with eight points, two rebounds, and five assists. Oklahoma City has not yet announced a diagnosis, making his status for Monday's game against Phoenix highly uncertain. Williams appeared in only 33 regular-season games last season so that another absence would be a difficult setback. Ajay Mitchell and Jared McCain could take on larger roles, especially with Cason Wallace (shoulder) also banged up.
