The Miami Dolphins defense has a good matchup in Week 7 as they visit the Browns in Cleveland, and they can be a solid fringe starting unit in most leagues as a result. Last week, the Dolphins had a sack and a fumble recovery against the Chargers, but gave up 29 points in their loss. They have five fumble recoveries as part of their six takaways in he last three games, but they only have one interception all season. RotoBaller ranks the Dolphins as the No. 13 defense this week since they're taking on the Browns, who have allowed multiple sacks in every game this season, along with eight turnovers in six games. The Browns haven't scored 20 points in any game this season, and Miami's defense will look to continue their offensive struggles under rookie QB
Dillon Gabriel, who is still searching for his first NFL win.

Miami Dolphins tight end
Julian Hill started the first three games of the season but had just one catch. Since the return of
Darren Waller from a hip injury, Hill has actually been more involved in the last few weeks, while serving as the team's second tight end. He had four catches for 22 yards against the Panthers and three catches for 31 yards against the Chargers in the two games since the Dolphins lost
Tyreek Hill (knee) for the season. This week, Hill and the Dolphins visit the Browns, who rank 18th in the NFL against tight ends this season. He's only the TE41, so he's not nearly in a starting spot in all but the deepest formats, but it is interesting that he's been able to find a little bit of a rhythm and role the last few weeks in Miami's passing game.

Miami Dolphins tight end
Darren Waller has made an instant impression with his new team after missing the first three weeks of the season, and he's quickly become one of
Tua Tagovailoa's top targets. He and the Dolphins visit the Browns in Week 7 in a matchup of two 1-5 teams. Waller has played more snaps each week and worked up to a 69% snap share last week against the Chargers. He only had two catches for 12 yards, but had another good fantasy day since he found the end zone for the fourth time in three contests. In his three games, he has 10 catches for 117 yards to go with his four scores, and that production is enough to make him RotoBaller's TE10 this week as he faces the Browns, who rank in the middle of the pack against tight ends.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver
Nick Westbrook-Ikhine has seen his snap share spike the last two weeks since the
Tyreek Hill (knee) injury, but he has turned in no fantasy production as a result. As the Dolphins face the Browns this week, NWI will look to get involved in the offense after totaling just one catch over the last four weeks. Westbrook-Ikhine has become the team's third receiver over the last two weeks, playing 71% of snaps against the Panthers and 63% of the snaps against the Chargers. However, he has just one target and no catches despite being on the field for 76 plays. He has the potential to contribute since he's getting playing time, but the fact that
Tua Tagovailoa doesn't throw the ball his way keeps him well off the fantasy radar this week in Cleveland, where he is the WR86 in RotoBaller's Week 7 rankings.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver
Malik Washington has stepped up as the team's second receiver since the season-ending injury to
Tyreek Hill (knee). He hasn't been able to produce much yardage, though, coming into this week's matchup with the Browns. Washington has had four catches in each of the last two weeks, but hasn't had a play go for even 10 yards yet. He had four catches for no yards in Week 5, followed by four catches for 22 receiving yards last week against the Chargers. The increase in targets and catches is a good sign, but he hasn't been able to break out for any big gains. The Dolphins offense isn't vertical enough to make him a regular starting option at receiver right now, despite some big-play potential. He comes into this week ranked as RotoBaller's WR64 well off the radar in most formats.

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver
Travis Hunter could have a breakout game against the Los Angeles Rams during their visit to London. After a quiet start to the season, Liam Coen stated to the press the gameplan would be to get Hunter more involved on offense this week. That is music to the ears of fantasy managers who drafted the talented rookie high. In limited action, the two-way phenom has showed flashes of talent while getting acclimated to both sides of the ball in the NFL. On the other hand, this could just be coach speak, so fantasy managers shouldn't get too hasty. Bold managers in need of an upside play should feel good about starting Hunter in Week 7.

Jacksonville Jaguars running back
Travis Etienne Jr. has been solid ever since seizing control of the Jacksonville backfield at the beginning of the season. He hit double digits in half-PPR fantasy points each of the first four weeks, amassing three touchdowns in the process, but has sputtered a bit the last two weeks. To be fair, he faced two good run defenses in the Chiefs and the Seahawks, games where the passing game was more at the forefront. The Rams have been good on defense overall, but aren't impenetrable, so it will be interesting to see how the gameplan unfolds for Liam Coen. Either way, Etienne Jr. should continue to dominate touches out of the backfield, making him a safe RB2 in Week 7 in the early London game.

New York Giants Defense/Special Teams is a viable streamer for Week 7, as they travel to Denver to face a Broncos offense that has recently struggled. While the Giants' defense is statistically average, allowing 24.0 points per game (20th) and 377.2 yards a game (20th), they face a Broncos offense that posted a mere 12 points and 246 total yards against the Jets last week. The Broncos average 21.7 points per game (13th) and 337 total yards (15th), but
Bo Nix's continued growing pains present an opportunity. With the Giants averaging 5.5 fantasy points per game over their last three outings and the Broncos giving up 4.3 points per game to opposing DSTs, this altitude matchup offers a higher floor than usual.

New York Giants kicker
Jude McAtamney is an extremely low-floor option and should be avoided in all but the deepest fantasy formats for his Week 7 road contest. McAtamney has minimal history to rely on, having scored only nine total fantasy points across his three appearances with a 100% field goal rate on two attempts but missing an Extra Point against the Eagles. Unfortunately, the Denver Broncos are a difficult matchup for opposing kickers, as they rank 23rd in fantasy points allowed to the position, limiting kickers to a meager 9.5 points per game. Given the Giants' implied total of only 16.75 points and the Broncos' elite Red Zone Defense, which ranks 1st in the NFL, McAtamney is not projected to see the high-value scoring opportunities needed to be fantasy-relevant this week.

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback
Trevor Lawrence has had a solid but inconsistent fantasy season through six weeks. He finally seems on the same page with star receiver
Brian Thomas Jr., which has helped him have two straight good fantasy weeks against the Chiefs and Seahawks. With the offense starting to gain momentum, Lawrence could become a low-end QB1 down the stretch, but for now, fantasy managers should remain cautious. The former top pick does have some rushing ability to raise his weekly floor, but it only comes out once in a while, such as in Week 5 where he rushed for two touchdowns. In a tough London matchup with the Rams defense, Lawrence remains a solid QB2.

New York Giants tight end
Theo Johnson is a risky, touchdown-dependent TE2 for Week 7 due to an extremely difficult road matchup against the stout Denver Broncos defense. Johnson has been a red-zone weapon for rookie QB
Jaxson Dart, accounting for all three of Dart's career passing touchdowns, but the Broncos are the 4th-ranked fantasy defense against tight ends, allowing a paltry 4.6 Fantasy Points Per Game. Denver's overall defense ranks 2nd in the NFL, giving up only 15.8 points per game, and they are especially brutal in the red zone, ranking 1st with a 28.6% Defense Red Zone TD Rate. With an average of only 7.4 yards per reception this season and coming off a mere 27-yard performance in Week 6, Johnson needs a fourth touchdown since Dart took over just to provide value.

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver
Brian Thomas Jr. finally had a breakout game last week against the Seattle Seahawks, putting up 90 yards on eight catches and a touchdown. After a rough first three weeks where BTJ wasn't on the same page with quarterback
Trevor Lawrence (14.3, 33.3, and 33.3% catch percentages respectively), he has been much more efficient the last three weeks, including a season high 80% catch rate in Week 6. There was always hope the LSU product would play more like his rookie self at some point this season given his high target rate, so those who kept the faith should be feeling good about him rest of season. The Rams serve as a difficult matchup, but managers should feel hopeful nonetheless about starting BTJ in Week 7.

New York Giants wide receiver
Lil'Jordan Humphrey is a desperate dart throw for Week 7, despite a solid performance in his Giants debut due to a brutal defensive matchup against his former team. Elevated from the practice squad last week, Humphrey immediately saw a surprising eight targets, turning them into four receptions for 55 yards, which resulted in 7.5 fantasy points and included a crucial 34-yard reception. However, the Broncos' defense is a top-two unit against the wide receiver position, ranking 2nd in the NFL by allowing an average of only 18.9 fantasy points per game to the position. Furthermore, the Broncos' pass defense is one of the league's best, allowing a mere 165.2 passing yards per game, and their overall points-against average of 15.8 points further limits the Giants' offensive ceiling and Humphrey's chances for a repeat performance.

New York Giants wide receiver
Wan'Dale Robinson is establishing himself as the team's WR1 but faces a significant challenge in the Broncos' elite defense, making him a Flex play with a lower ceiling. Since
Malik Nabers' injury, Robinson has commanded a steady target share, leading the team with six receptions for 84 yards and his second touchdown of the season in Week 6, maintaining his status as the 23rd-ranked fantasy WR (10.3 FPPG). However, the Broncos have one of the stingiest pass defenses in the NFL, ranking 2nd in points allowed to wide receivers (18.9 FPPG) and 3rd in the league with only 165.2 passing yards allowed per game. Their defense has been a total lockdown, sitting 2nd in the NFL by allowing an average of only 15.8 points against per game, which points to a tough day for the Giants' offense to sustain drives and maximize Robinson's volume.

New York Giants running back
Cam Skattebo's incredible emergence makes him a must-start, albeit risky, low-end RB1/high-end RB2 for the tough road matchup in Denver. Skattebo, currently the 10th-ranked fantasy RB averaging 15.22 points per game, is coming off a massive 28 fantasy point performance where he rushed for 98 yards and three touchdowns against the Eagles. This week, his volume will be tested against the Broncos' elite defense, which ranks 4th against fantasy running backs, allowing only 17.47 fantasy points per game. Crucially, the Denver defense has been a red-zone wall, ranking 1st in the NFL by allowing a minuscule 28.6% touchdown rate and a league-low two rushing touchdowns all season, directly threatening Skattebo's primary source of his five touchdowns. Skattebo's immense workload and role near the goal line, however, keep his ceiling high despite the difficult on-paper matchup against a run defense allowing just 89 rushing yards per game.
