Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence had a long day when his team took on the Los Angeles Rams, completing just 23 of 48 passing attempts for 296 yards and one touchdown. He also ran twice for 18 yards. While Lawrence finished with more than 300 total yards, it was an ugly day for the Jags' offense in general and the quarterback specifically. Jacksonville was behind 21-0 at halftime and never really in the game. By the end of the day, Lawrence had been sacked seven times and missed on a few eyebrow-raising throws. The Jags will take a much-needed break next week before returning to the field in Week 9 against the Las Vegas Raiders.--Nick Piotrowicz

Jacksonville Jaguars rookie wide receiver/defensive back Travis Hunter found the end zone for the first time as a pro, connecting with quarterback Trevor Lawrence for a 34-yard touchdown on Sunday against the Los Angeles Rams in London. In total, the rookie finished with his best offensive day in the NFL, compiling eight catches for 101 yards and a score on 14 targets. He also had one carry for no gain. Unfortunately for the Jags, they attempted 48 passes because they were getting blown out in what became a 35-7 defeat. It was nonetheless an encouraging day for fantasy managers, as Hunter led the offense in touches and earned the type of usage for which they were hoping. The Jags will look to get their act together against Las Vegas after a bye in Week 9.--Nick Piotrowicz

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Davante Adams had an excellent fantasy day on Sunday by catching five of his eight targets for 35 yards and three touchdowns in a 35-7 rout of Jacksonville. The veteran didn't do much from a yardage perspective, but created maximum value from his red-zone targets. Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford found Adams for touchdowns of two, one, and one yard as L.A. dominated the game from start to finish. Playing without Puka Nacua (ankle), Adams didn't get much volume, but the Rams ran nearly as many runs as passes thanks to creating an early lead. They'll take their bye next week before playing New Orleans in Week 9.--Nick Piotrowicz

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford went wild in a 35-7 beating of Jacksonville, accounting for all five L.A. touchdowns in an easy victory Sunday in London. The veteran QB finished 21-for-33 for only 182 yards, but did a ton of damage in the red zone, throwing four of his five scoring passes inside the five-yard line, three of which went to receiver Davante Adams. The Rams gained only 271 yards as a team, but controlled the game from start to finish as Stafford piled up a huge day for managers who started him. The Rams will take on New Orleans in Week 9 after a bye next week.--Nick Piotrowicz

Retired defensive end Brandon Graham is considering a return to the NFL. According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, Graham could come out of retirement and re-sign with the Philadelphia Eagles. The veteran defender would become an immediate starter on defense after the Eagles lost Za'Darius Smith to a midseason retirement. Graham appeared in 11 games last year, totaling 20 tackles, 3.5 sacks, and one forced fumble, but he retired after the Super Bowl. In addition to being an impact lineman, he offers veteran experience, leadership, and a proven ability to win. Schefter's report indicates that the Eagles and Graham could finalize a contract as early as this week if he officially decides to return.--Andersen Pickard

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Cedrick Wilson Jr. is a healthy scratch in Week 7 against the hosting Cleveland Browns on Sunday. It's the second straight week that Wilson has been a healthy scratch, and it's not a good sign for the 29-year-old's involvement in the Dolphins' offense the rest of the season with Tyreek Hill (knee) out for the season. He also missed time earlier this year due to a knee injury, and he has not officially been active at all yet in his return to the Dolphins in 2025. Last year in 15 games (four starts) with the New Orleans Saints, Wilson caught 20 of his 27 targets for 211 yards and one touchdown. With Wilson being a healthy scratch again, Miami will move forward with Jaylen Waddle as its clear No. 1 receiver. Behind him will be Malik Washington and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, but tight end Darren Waller should be quarterback Tua Tagovailoa's No. 2 target.--Keith Hernandez

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Emeka Egbuka (hamstring) has "a real chance to play" on Monday night against the Detroit Lions, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Egbuka is listed as questionable. He missed two consecutive practices before returning in a limited capacity on Saturday. While having just one limited practice and zero full practices usually makes it tough to play, it sounds like Tampa Bay is leaving the door open for the rookie sensation to suit up. He has been one of the top stories of the young season, catching 27 passes for 469 yards and five touchdowns while ranking as the overall WR6 in PPR leagues. He has shown that he can co-exist with Mike Evans (hamstring), which is good news given that Evans is also expected to return from injury in Week 7. If Evans and Egbuka both suit up, and the latter is near 100 percent, then he would rank as a fringe top-12 fantasy receiver. Schefter's report sounds optimistic, but managers should still approach this situation with caution. A Monday night kickoff leaves managers with just four teams from which they can choose a replacement receiver if Egbuka isn't able to play. Putting him in the flex spot does expand your options to include running backs and tight ends, but managers should still prepare ahead of time and ensure that they have a healthy replacement in case Egbuka doesn't play. If such a replacement option doesn't exist on the bench or on waivers, managers may be inclined to take the safe route and play a healthy Sunday starter, leaving Egbuka on the bench due to his uncertain status.--Andersen Pickard

New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs (chest) is active to face the Tennessee Titans on Sunday in Week 7. Diggs entered the weekend with a questionable tag due to a chest injury that kept him limited in practice on Wednesday and Thursday. The 31-year-old veteran pass-catcher upgraded to a full practice on Friday, though, and he's good to go against Tennessee. Kayshon Boutte and DeMario Douglas both came away with big games in last week's win over the Saints, with Diggs only going for three catches and 28 yards in Week 6. However, he had back-to-back 100-yard performances in Weeks 4 and 5, and he remains a key part of the Pats' passing attack led by improving second-year quarterback Drake Maye. Diggs currently leads the team in targets (37), catches (32), and receiving yards (387). Consider him a low-end WR2 for fantasy football.--Keith Hernandez

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans (hamstring) is "likely" to play in Monday's Week 7 contest against the Detroit Lions, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Evans is currently listed as questionable but continues to trend in the right direction after being a full participant in practice on Saturday. The 32-year-old has played in three of the Bucs' six games so far, catching 14 passes for 140 yards and one touchdown. He could be joined on the field by rookie sensation Emeka Egbuka (hamstring), who reportedly has "a real chance to play," as well. The two have shown that they can co-exist, with both ranking as strong WR2 options in their return from injuries. In addition to his fantasy outlook, all eyes are on Evans' quest for a 12th consecutive 1,000-yard season. He is 860 yards away with 11 games to go, meaning he'd need to average at least 78.2 yards per game for the rest of the year. He hasn't averaged more than 78.2 yards per game since 2019, but anything is possible in a high-powered Bucs offense that loves to throw the football.--Andersen Pickard

New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson (knee), who was listed as doubtful for Week 7 against the visiting Carolina Panthers, has officially been ruled out for Sunday's game. Wilson suffered a hyperextended knee in last week's loss in London to the Denver Broncos and was unable to practice all week. There is some optimism that Wilson will only have to miss one game, but it's unclear if he'll be in play to return for a Week 8 tilt next Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals. Wilson has been the team's clear WR1 through six weeks, so they'll have to adjust and use Josh Reynolds, Allen Lazard, Arian Smith, and Isaiah Williams if they want to win their first game of the year against Carolina. Rookie tight end Mason Taylor could easily lead the Jets in targets this week with Wilson out. It's hard to recommend Reynolds or anyone else on Sunday for a flex spot in fantasy in what has been a bad Jets passing offense this year.--Keith Hernandez

Philadelphia Eagles left guard Landon Dickerson (ankle) is officially active for Sunday's Week 7 contest against the Minnesota Vikings. He had previously been listed as questionable but was trending in the right direction after practicing in full on Friday. Dickerson has played in five games this season, logging 100 percent of the snaps in three of them. He missed last week's loss to the New York Giants and will now return as the Eagles look to break free from their two-game losing streak. His presence will provide major support to the Eagles' offensive backfield, including Jalen Hurts and Saquon Barkley.--Andersen Pickard

After testing his knee and toe injuries during pre-game warmups on Sunday, Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (knee, toe) has been ruled out for the Week 7 game against the division-rival Kansas City Chiefs. With their bye coming next week, the Raiders are erring on the side of caution with Meyers. He did not practice on Wednesday or Thursday. Still, he was able to practice in a limited capacity on Friday, which means he should be ready to return when the Raiders resume play in Week 9 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Raiders will also be without star tight end Brock Bowers (knee) for a third straight game on Sunday, so Vegas will be looking to receiver Tre Tucker and tight end Michael Mayer to step up, in addition to rookie receivers Dont'e Thornton Jr. and Jack Bech. Meyers, who asked for a trade earlier this season, has had a season to forget so far in 2025.--Keith Hernandez

Chicago Bears running back Travis Homer (calf) is officially active for Sunday's Week 7 contest against the New Orleans Saints. He had been listed as questionable but was expected to play after being a full participant in practice all week long. The veteran running back is making his season debut this week, but he'll likely be relegated to a role on special teams. After all, D'Andre Swift has a firm hold on the lead-back role while Kyle Monangai and Roschon Johnson are steady depth options. Fantasy managers should leave Homer on waivers in all formats.--Andersen Pickard

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Hunter Renfrow (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's Week 7 contest against the New York Jets. He is a healthy scratch for the first time this season. The veteran receiver had amassed 15 catches, 89 yards, and two touchdowns through six games this year, headlined by a Week 2 contest against Arizona in which he caught seven passes and found the end zone twice. Renfrow's role had gradually declined since then. Now, with Jalen Coker healthy and active as the Panthers' slot receiver, the team decided it had no need for Renfrow heading into a clash with the Jets. Renfrow can be dropped in all fantasy leagues.--Andersen Pickard

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Brock Bowers (knee) is officially inactive for the Week 7 divisional contest on Sunday versus the Kansas City Chiefs. In addition, the Raiders will be without wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (knee, toe), which will make things even more difficult for a struggling Raiders passing game against a stout Chiefs defense. Bowers will miss his third straight game due to a knee injury that he initially sustained in the season opener. Vegas has its bye coming in Week 8, though, so there is optimism that the second-year TE will be ready to return in Week 9 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. It's been a disappointing sophomore year so far for anyone who took Bowers early in fantasy drafts. Michael Mayer caught his first touchdown of the year in Week 6 and figures to be heavily targeted by quarterback Geno Smith again this week. He's in play as a TE2 streamer against KC.--Keith Hernandez
