Indianapolis Colts tight end
Tyler Warren caught six of his nine targets for 63 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's Week 6 win over the Arizona Cardinals. The rookie has been quite impactful during his first pro season, ranking as the overall TE2 through six weeks. He has at least 14 fantasy points (PPR) in each of his last three games, which is one reason for his surge into the No. 2 spot. He fits nicely in the Colts' offense as a physical threat in the passing game, and we've also seen him run the football from time to time. Fantasy managers should have no hesitation about starting him as a mid-range TE1 in Week 7 against the Chargers.

Detroit Lions wide receiver
Jameson Williams caught six of his seven targets for 66 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's Week 6 win over the Kansas City Chiefs. He led the team in receiving yards and put an end to what had been a frustrating few weeks for the deep threat. Over the last three weeks, Williams had failed to surpass 6.5 fantasy points (PPR) in a single game. He scored nearly triple that number on Sunday night, giving him momentum ahead of a Week 7 clash with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He's a high-ceiling, low-floor WR3/flex every week.

Las Vegas Raiders running back
Ashton Jeanty carried the ball 23 times for 75 rushing yards and one rushing touchdown during Sunday's Week 6 win over the Tennessee Titans. He also caught two of his four targets for an additional 11 receiving yards. While fantasy managers will be rightfully intrigued by the rookie's volume and touchdown, there continues to be some concern about his efficiency (or lack thereof) as he was held to just 3.26 yards per carry against the Titans, bringing his season average down to 4.04 YPC. Jeanty's road gets tougher in Week 7 as he faces the Kansas City Chiefs. In that matchup, the Boise State product is best viewed as a mid-to-low fantasy RB2.

Los Angeles Rams running back
Kyren Williams carried the ball 13 times for 50 rushing yards and one rushing touchdown during Sunday's Week 6 win over the Baltimore Ravens. He also caught each of his two targets for a total of 37 receiving yards. Williams didn't nearly match his fantasy total from the week prior on Thursday Night Football, but he still contributed with a touchdown and a solid receiving stat line. He has multiple catches in each of his last five games, as well as four touchdowns over his last four contests. He should continue to be treated as a low-end RB1 heading into Week 7 against the Jaguars.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver
Marquise Brown caught all four of his targets for 45 yards and two touchdowns during Sunday's Week 6 win over the Detroit Lions. Brown has quietly emerged as a solid WR3/flex play this season, scoring at least 8.0 fantasy points (PPR) in all six of his games so far. Sunday's victory was his fifth game this season (of six total contests) in which Brown had at least four catches, as well as his fourth with at least 42 receiving yards. It's hard to predict which Kansas City receiver will get the bulk of the volume during any given week, but Brown has certainly been a steady fantasy contributor so far. He's a mid-range WR3/flex option for Week 7 against the Raiders.

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback
Patrick Mahomes completed 22 of his 30 pass attempts for 257 yards, three touchdowns, and zero interceptions during Sunday night's win over the Detroit Lions. He also rushed for an additional 32 rushing yards and one rushing touchdown. The veteran quarterback had a very productive evening in terms of moving the football and scoring points, now tallying 10 total touchdowns and just one turnover over his last three games. Most importantly, the 30-year-old seems to have found a nice rhythm under center, scoring at least 29 fantasy points in each of those three contests. He'll remain a high-end QB1 for Week 7 against the Raiders.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back
Rachaad White has really stepped up in the team's lead-back role the last two weeks with
Bucky Irving (foot, shoulder) nursing multiple injuries. In the 30-19 win over the visiting San Francisco 49ers on Sunday in Week 6, White stayed productive with a team-leading 17 rushing attempts for 65 yards and a touchdown while adding three catches on three targets for 21 additional yards. The 26-year-old hasn't been all that productive with his touches the last two weeks since seeing an expanded role in the backfield, but he has delivered for fantasy managers with a nose for the end zone, scoring three total times in the last two games with Irving out. It's unclear if Irving will return in Week 7 against the Detroit Lions on Monday Night Football, but if he misses a third straight game, White will maintain his plug-and-play RB2 status in fantasy.

Ironically, Carolina Panthers rookie first-round wide receiver
Tetairoa McMillan had a season-low 29 receiving yards on just three receptions in the 30-27 win over the visiting Dallas Cowboys in Week 6 on Sunday, but he made up for it by finding paydirt for the first two times in his NFL career. McMillan was targeted five times by quarterback
Bryce Young, which tied for the team lead with running back
Rico Dowdle. The 22-year-old from Arizona scored from 19 and two yards out, respectively, to salvage his fantasy day. Fantasy managers shouldn't be too concerned with his low-yardage output against Dallas, as it's been clear that McMillan will lead the Panthers in yards, catches, and targets when all is said and done in 2025, as long as he stays healthy. He has a tough matchup upcoming against cornerback Sauce Gardner and the New York Jets in Week 7, but McMillan needs to remain in all starting fantasy lineups.

The New England Patriots' passing attack was humming on Sunday in the Week 6 win over the New Orleans Saints on the road, and wide receiver
DeMario Douglas was one of the beneficiaries. Douglas entered Week 6 action with only seven catches on 16 targets for 30 yards and one touchdown, so he probably wasn't in many starting fantasy lineups against the Saints. The 24-year-old finished the 25-19 win with three catches on four targets for a season-high 71 yards and his second touchdown of the year. His day could have been much bigger, but a potential 61-yard touchdown was reversed early in the contest. Douglas' 71 receiving yards were second on the team, behind only
Kayshon Boutte, who also scored twice. It was nice to see Douglas break out in what had been a disappointing season to this point, but fantasy managers should remain skeptical on his big-play potential as the WR3 behind Boutte and
Stefon Diggs.

Arizona Cardinals quarterback
Kyler Murray (foot) was unable to play in the Week 6 loss to the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday, but tight end
Trey McBride was still able to put up numbers while working with veteran backup
Jacoby Brissett. McBride finished with eight catches on 11 targets for 72 yards and his second touchdown of the year in the 31-27 loss. He was second on the team in receiving yards on the day, but his 11 targets and eight receptions led the Cardinals in a near-upset victory on the road. The 25-year-old's eight grabs and 72 receiving yards were both season highs, giving you an idea of how much Arizona's offense has struggled in the first five weeks of the season. It's possible that Murray won't be able to play in Week 7 against the Green Bay Packers, either, but McBride might not skip a beat given the chemistry he showed with Brissett this weekend.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver
DK Metcalf looked fresh coming off the bye week in the 23-9 victory over the division-rival Cleveland Browns in Week 6 on Sunday. Metcalf scored a touchdown for the fourth straight game and also caught four of his nine targets on the day for 95 yards. The efficiency wasn't great, but Metcalf once again led the team in targets and receiving yards in a game in which the Steelers were never really threatened. The veteran wideout made up for his lack of efficiency against Cleveland by going for over 20 yards on all four of his receptions. Metcalf is clearly quarterback
Aaron Rodgers' top target every week in a receiving corps that doesn't have many other exciting options in the passing attack. In addition to four straight games with a touchdown, Metcalf has topped 80 yards in three of his first five games in Pittsburgh. The 27-year-old should be a busy man on Thursday night in Week 7 in an excellent matchup against the division-rival Cincinnati Bengals and their weak defense.

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback
Justin Herbert had another strong game for the Bolts in the Week 6 win over the Miami Dolphins on the road on Sunday, throwing for 264 yards, two touchdowns, and no interceptions on 29-for-38 passing. Herbert carried the ball once for a gain of two yards in the 29-27 victory to end the team's two-game losing streak. He was sacked only once all day for a loss of only one yard. Herbert had to extend a lot of plays with a banged-up offensive line in front of him, and he did a good job with one of his top wideouts,
Quentin Johnston (hamstring), out due to injury. The 27-year-old showed good chemistry with
Ladd McConkey in this one, helping McConkey to his first 100-yard game of 2025. L.A. got a surprising 100-yard performance out of running back
Kimani Vidal to help Herbert on the road, but the Chargers could continue to lean heavily on Herbert's right arm with rookie
Omarion Hampton (ankle) on Injured Reserve. Herbert has not thrown a pick in the last three games and will be firmly on the QB1 radar entering Week 7 versus the Indianapolis Colts.

After a slow start to the 2025 season, his second year in the NFL, Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver
Brian Thomas Jr. has heated up the last two weeks. In the 20-12 loss to the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday, Thomas had eight catches on 10 targets for a season-high 90 yards and his first touchdown of the year. He led the team in targets, catches, and receiving yards. Thomas' eight catches were the most he's had in a game this season, and he's now caught 12 passes for 170 yards and a touchdown on 16 targets in the last two weeks. Fantasy managers are hoping that the 23-year-old second-year pass-catcher is just starting to find his groove with quarterback
Trevor Lawrence. Thomas had over 1,200 yards receiving and 10 total touchdowns in 2024, so we know what he's capable of. He'll be a must-start in a Week 7 matchup in London against the Los Angeles Rams.

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback
Trevor Lawrence completed 27 of 42 pass attempts for 258 passing yards and two touchdowns in his team's 20-12 Week 6 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. Lawrence's biggest problem in Week 6 was the Seattle pass rush, as he was sacked seven times for a combined loss of 44 yards. The 26-year-old has now thrown for 1,324 yards and eight touchdowns with five interceptions through his first six games of 2025. Lawrence has also rushed for 95 yards and two scores. He will face a difficult matchup in Week 7, when the Jaguars travel to London to take on the Los Angeles Rams.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback
Baker Mayfield led his team to its fifth win of the season in Week 6, beating the San Francisco 49ers 30-19. Mayfield completed 17 of his 23 pass attempts for 256 yards and two touchdowns without throwing an interception and added 14 rushing yards on three carries. The 30-year-old has now thrown for 1,309 yards and 12 touchdowns in his first six games of 2025. Tampa Bay entered Week 6 without wide receivers
Mike Evans (hamstring),
Chris Godwin (leg), and
Jalen McMillan (neck), and then lost star rookie wideout
Emeka Egbuka (hamstring) to a hamstring injury during the game. It's currently unclear how long the Buccaneers will be without their top four wide receivers. Regardless, Mayfield has proven himself to be a worthy fantasy QB1 on a week-to-week basis.
