Green Bay Packers wide receiver
Christian Watson (knee) will have to wait another week to make his 2025 season debut, as he's officially been ruled out for the Week 7 contest on Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals, according to Rob Demovsky of ESPN. Watson remains on the Physically Unable to Perform list after tearing his ACL in Week 18 of last year. He had his 21-day practice window opened last Wednesday, but he has yet to put in a full practice, going six straight practices as a limited participant. As long as the 26-year-old can upgrade to a full practice at some point next week, he should be officially activated from the PUP to be active in next week's contest against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Injuries continue to be an issue for Watson, but when healthy, he'll be an explosive deep-threat option for quarterback
Jordan Love, making him stash-worthy for those in need of WR depth in the second half of the season.

The Indianapolis Colts defense has been a stout fantasy unit through the first six games of the regular season. They will be tested on the road in a Week 7 matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers. The Chargers are dealing with plenty of injuries on offense, but they are still allowing just the 14th-most fantasy points per game to opposing D/STs in fantasy. The Colts are set as 1.5-point road underdogs in a game with a high 48.5-point over/under. This is a difficult spot for the Colts, which puts them outside of the top-12 fantasy defenses for this weekend.

The Cleveland Browns defense will return home to face off against the Miami Dolphins in Week 7. Cleveland struggled against the Pittsburgh Steelers on the road in Week 6, failing to notch any sacks or force any turnovers in the 23-9 loss. They will look to regroup against a Miami offense that is allowing the 15th-most fantasy points per game to fantasy D/STs this year. This game has an extremely low over/under of 36 points with the Browns set as 2.5-point favorites. While not a smash play, the Browns D/ST is worth starting as a top-12 fantasy option in Week 7.

Cleveland Browns kicker Andre Szymt made all three of his field-goal attempts in a Week 6 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. After a rough Week 1 where he missed a field goal and an extra point, Szymt has hit all eight of his field-goal tries in the five games since. He will look to stay hot at home in Week 7 against the Miami Dolphins. The Dolphins have struggled against kickers this season, allowing the second-most fantasy points per game to the position. That being said, the Cleveland offense has not moved the ball consistently enough this season to trust Szymt as a fantasy option. He should not be in starting lineups heading into Week 7.

Miami Dolphins quarterback
Tua Tagovailoa had a turbulent week after calling out teammates after last week's loss and apologizing mid-week. He and the Dolphins will try to put that all behind them when they visit the Browns in Week 7 in a matchup of two 1-5 teams. Tua's numbers had been trending up with multiple touchdowns in four straight games before the Chargers held him to 205 passing yards and one passing score while snagging three interceptions. Tua now has 11 touchdowns and seven picks in his six games this year and is averaging 202.2 yards passing per contest. He's the QB24 this week in RotoBaller's rankings, making him an ok start in dual-QB leagues, but not one to be very excited about against the Browns, who allow the sixth-fewest fantasy points per game to quarterbacks this year.

Cleveland Browns tight end
Harold Fannin Jr. turned in a big performance in his team's Week 6 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, catching seven of his 10 targets for 81 yards. He has a chance to build on that performance in Week 7's home game against the Miami Dolphins. Fannin is lined up to see an increased role against Miami as the Browns have already ruled
David Njoku (knee) out for Sunday. He should see plenty of work from
Dillon Gabriel, who has targeted Fannin and Njoku a combined 29 times over his two starts. Fannin sets up as a top-10 fantasy tight end against a Miami defense that is allowing the sixth-most fantasy points per game to his position this year.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver
Isaiah Bond turned in a quiet outing in a Week 6 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, catching just two of his five targets for nine yards. The rookie wideout will now look to bounce back at home in a Week 7 contest against the Miami Dolphins. Bond has ascended to the WR2 role in Cleveland with
Cedric Tillman (hamstring) out, but he has yet to turn that into production on the field, as his best performance is a three-catch, 58-yard outing in Week 4 against the Detroit Lions. The Dolphins have been unable to do much right on defense this season, although they have been decent against receivers, allowing just the 23rd-most fantasy points per game to the position. Bond is a low-end flex play who should probably remain on fantasy benches this weekend.

The Los Angeles Chargers D/ST faces a tough challenge against the Indianapolis Colts, who have the league's top-scoring offense (32.3 PPG) and the most rushing touchdowns per game (2.2), led by fantasy RB1
Jonathan Taylor. Although the Chargers rank second in Opponent Red Zone Scoring (42.86%), their weakness against the run (28th in opponents' yards allowed per rush) creates a significant mismatch against the Colts' run-heavy approach. While the potential return of Khalil Mack (elbow), who was designated to return from IR this week, provides some boost for their pass rush, the likely game script of a high-scoring offensive battle hinders defensive points. RotoBaller has moved the D/ST down to D/ST22. It's better to consider other D/ST options this week.

Cleveland Browns running back
Dylan Sampson will take on the Miami Dolphins at home in Week 7. Sampson has been quiet since a big Week 1 where he caught eight passes for 64 yards. With
Quinshon Judkins dominating the backfield work, Sampson handled just five touches in a Week 6 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Dolphins have struggled against the run this year as their defense is allowing the fifth-most fantasy points per game to opposing running backs thus far. That being said, Sampson is unlikely to see enough work to take advantage of the plus matchup. He is best left on fantasy benches heading into Sunday's games.

Cleveland Browns running back
Quinshon Judkins has been one of the few bright spots for his team's offense through six games in 2025. The rookie running back has now rushed for 383 yards and two touchdowns while adding nine catches for 62 yards in five games. Judkins will be looking to bounce back in Week 7 after he turned in his slowest output of the season last week as the Pittsburgh Steelers held him to just 36 yards on 12 carries. Judkins has a good shot at a big afternoon in Week 7 as he will face off against the Miami Dolphins at home. Miami's defense has been quite generous to opposing running backs this season, allowing the fifth-most fantasy points per game so far. Judkins can be trusted as a low-end RB1 heading into Week 7.

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver
Darnell Mooney (hamstring) is currently listed as questionable ahead of the Week 7 matchup against the San Francisco 49ers. Mooney has been sidelined since suffering a hamstring injury in Week 4. He was limited on Wednesday and Thursday before not practicing on Friday. It's unclear if he'll be able to suit up as the team is likely waiting until closer to game-time before making a final decision.
Drake London has been the focal point in the passing game with the Falcons being banged up on offense. Mooney figures to have decent streaming value if he's able to play.

Cleveland Browns quarterback
Dillon Gabriel has made two starts thus far in his rookie season, passing for 430 yards, three touchdowns, and no interceptions. While the rookie has done a nice job taking care of the ball, he has yet to bring much upside to a Cleveland offense that has scored just 82 points across six games. He will look to turn things around in a Week 7 home game against the Miami Dolphins. Miami's defense has been one of the worst in the league this season, allowing the second-most fantasy points per game to opposing quarterbacks thus far. Gabriel definitely has the matchup in his favor, but he will have to show more on the field to be trustworthy for fantasy lineups. He sets up as a high-end QB3 heading into Week 7.

New York Giants wide receiver
Darius Slayton (hamstring) is officially listed as doubtful ahead of the Week 7 matchup against the Denver Broncos. As expected, Slayton is expected to miss this game after sitting out of practice all week. This would be the second straight game that Slayton has missed due to a hamstring injury. His absence would mean increased roles for
Wan'Dale Robinson,
Jalin Hyatt, and Lil'Jordan Humphrey. Assuming Slayton sits, Robinson is the only player here worth streaming right now.

Los Angeles Chargers kicker
Cameron Dicker has been perfect so far this year and is coming off a last-second, game-winning field goal against the Miami Dolphins, one of five successful field goals on the day. Dicker enters Week 7 in a high-scoring game environment against the Indianapolis Colts, with the game total set at 48.5 points, indicating a likely offensive shootout. Given the Chargers' ability to move the ball and Dicker's consistent accuracy, he should get plenty of chances to score points. RotoBaller ranks Dicker as the K2 this week, and he is a must-start.

Washington Commanders tight end
Zach Ertz (shoulder, calf) is listed as questionable ahead of the Week 7 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys. Ertz missed practice to start the week, but was upgraded to a full participant on Thursday. However, Ertz was downgraded to a limited participant on Friday. The veteran tight end is dealing with multiple injuries that could keep him sidelined this weekend. The Commanders are already without
Terry McLaurin (quad) for Week 7. Both Ertz and
Deebo Samuel Sr. (heel) is considered questionable for this game. If active, both players figure to play big roles on offense.
