NFL fantasy football news and player signals for Sunday, October 25, 2026

Ravens' starting QB is critical for playoff positioning and fantasy relevance; the source emphasizes that Baltimore needs Lamar Jackson back against the Buffalo Bills in Week 8 and the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 9 after scoring a combined 23 points over the past two games with backup Tyler Huntley, indicating Jackson's return is essential to the team's offensive production and playoff viability.

Tyler Huntley started for the Ravens in their recent losses, with Baltimore scoring only 23 combined points over two games under his leadership, highlighting the offensive struggles during Lamar Jackson's absence.

The Ravens need Lamar Jackson back against the Buffalo Bills in Week 8 and the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 9 after scoring a combined 23 points over the past two games with Tyler Huntley at quarterback, indicating Jackson's return is critical to Baltimore's offensive performance and playoff positioning.

Tight end Terrance Ferguson is eligible to come off injured reserve for the Rams, suggesting a potential return to the receiving corps in upcoming games.

Davante Adams will be back at some point for the Rams. In the meantime, the Rams' star receiver Puka Nacua and tight ends must carry the receiving corps without him. The Rams displayed this capability in their 35-21 victory over the Raiders.

Colby Parkinson had a catchable fourth-quarter pass from Matthew Stafford bounce off him and into the hands of Raiders linebacker Nakobe Dean, resulting in an interception. This play occurred in an otherwise efficient performance by Stafford.

Blake Corum gained 93 yards and scored a touchdown in 17 carries in the Rams' 35-21 victory over the Raiders. He would have amassed more than 100 yards rushing if a 43-yard touchdown had not been nullified by a penalty. Corum sealed the victory with a four-yard touchdown run. He and Kyren Williams built on an impressive combo rushing performance, with Corum noting the partnership energizes both backs: 'It feels great being able to have a partner back there like Kyren. It just makes you want to go harder, seeing him do some of the things that he does on the field.'

Kyren Williams rushed for 99 yards and a touchdown in 16 carries in the Rams' 35-21 victory over the Raiders. He and Blake Corum built on an impressive combo rushing performance, with Williams' 17-yard touchdown run giving the Rams a comfortable 28-6 lead. Corum noted the partnership: 'It feels great being able to have a partner back there like Kyren. It just makes you want to go harder, seeing him do some of the things that he does on the field.'

Puka Nacua was questionable for the game because of a calf injury suffered during practice but played and caught 8 passes for 68 yards, including a catch-and-run for an 11-yard touchdown. As a star receiver, he must keep carrying the Rams' receiving corps without Davante Adams. His touchdown pass from Stafford was the 155th for Stafford since joining the Rams, moving him past Roman Gabriel into first on the team's all-time list.

Davis Allen caught 2 touchdown passes from Matthew Stafford in the Rams' 35-21 victory over the Raiders, including one in the first half. He is part of the Rams' receiving corps that must continue to carry the team without Davante Adams.

Stafford must continue to flash his 2025 MVP form for the Rams to make a playoff run. He completed 23 of 29 passes for 195 yards with 2 touchdown passes to Davis Allen and 1 to Puka Nacua in the 35-21 victory over the Raiders. His second-quarter touchdown pass to Nacua was his 155th since joining the Rams in 2021, moving him past Roman Gabriel into first on the team's all-time list. Stafford is the first player in NFL history to lead two different franchises in touchdown passes (282 with Detroit Lions). He ranks fourth all-time in fourth-quarter comebacks and expressed comfort in the fourth quarter after the Rams' win.

How many fantasy points do you need from JSN tonight?

Singletary handled five carries for 41 yards and scored on a 30-yard run at the end of regulation to win the game; pending the health of Skattebo and Tracy, Singletary could be in for a larger role for the Giants coming out of their bye week.

Tracy exited the game against Houston with a hamstring injury of his own after scoring New York's first touchdown; he finished with 15 yards and one touchdown on six carries.

Skattebo felt something in his hamstring during his final carry of the game against Houston in overtime; he slid to protect himself and set up field goal range. He did not provide additional details to ESPN's Dan Graziano beyond noting the team has a bye week coming up, and was not asked about the injury during locker room availability, leaving his status unclear.

The source explicitly noted his 'dominant first-half performance,' indicating strong early-game production.

Nacua caught an 11-yard touchdown pass from Matthew Stafford in the first half, giving LA a 21-3 lead. The source praised his effort: 'It was a fantastic job by Puka to come back to the ball, giving himself momentum to cut up the middle of the field and find the end zone,' highlighting his willingness to work back to the football rather than letting it travel to him—a trait the source notes many receivers lack.

Stafford threw three touchdowns in the game, including an 11-yard TD to Puka Nacua and a bullet pass to Tyler Higbee on 3rd & 2 late in the game; the source highlights his accuracy and decision-making in key moments throughout the Rams' 35-21 win.

Nacua caught an 11-yard touchdown from Matthew Stafford in the first half, demonstrating strong route-running technique by working back to the football and cutting up the middle to find the end zone; the source notes this as exemplary wide receiver play, contrasting with receivers who let the ball travel to them rather than attacking it.

Rams RB touches this year: Weeks 1-5: **Kyren 97 Corum 45** Weeks 6-7: **Kyren 31 Corum 29**

Matthew Stafford led the Rams to a 35-21 victory over the Raiders after the team rebounded from one of their worst offensive games in years, signaling a potential return to form and momentum-building performance.

Broncos receiver scored on a 52-yard screen pass TD against the Cardinals, one of two explosive plays Denver used to dominate the game and tie their season high in points in a 30-16 win.

Broncos QB scored on a 62-yard TD run against the Cardinals, one of two huge plays Denver exploited in a dominant 30-16 road win; the Cardinals' defense gave up explosive plays that helped Denver tie their season high in points.

Cardinals TE recorded 10 receptions for 111 yards and 1 TD against Denver, scoring the team's only touchdown after a 100+ minute drought; McBride has now scored in consecutive games (also scored in the loss to Detroit Lions), establishing himself as the Cardinals' primary red zone target despite the offense's 1-5 red zone performance on the day.

Cardinals RB averaged nearly seven yards per carry in the loss to Denver, demonstrating efficient rushing performance despite the team's overall offensive struggles and red zone inefficiency (1-5 on the day, 12-28 on the season).

WR KC Concepcion hit a historic mark in Week 7 during the Browns' last-second victory over the Tennessee Titans.

WR KC Concepcion hit a historic mark in Week 7 during the Browns' last-second victory over the Tennessee Titans.

Aaron Jones Sr. was dinged up in the Vikings' win over the Colts, posting 8 carries for 26 yards and opening the door for Jordan Mason to lead the backfield.

Mason was the best of the Vikings backs with 15 carries for 68 yards in the win over the Colts, in part because Aaron Jones Sr. was dinged up; the source notes Mason is one of the few Minnesota fantasy values moving forward.

Murray threw for just 150 yards and 1 score in an ugly Vikings win over the Colts, and no Minnesota pass-catcher made it to 45 yards; the source notes Murray hasn't played well all year and the Vikings continue to be all defense, a little running, and no passing game.

Tyson might be back soon for the Saints, which could further limit Juwan Johnson's role in the passing game.

Kamara was a PPR scam in the Saints' loss to Pittsburgh, as the Saints are spreading targets to their wideouts and backs rather than concentrating on Juwan Johnson.

Johnson was a favorite draft target but his stock has fallen apart over the last three games with just 5 catches for 23 yards; he had only 1 catch on 3 targets in the Saints' loss to Pittsburgh, and the Saints are throwing to their wideouts and even their backs (Alvin Kamara was a PPR scam), with Jordyn Tyson potentially returning soon; Johnson isn't good enough to be carried through a Week 8 bye in most leagues.

Burrow threw for 292 yards and 4 touchdowns in the Bengals' win over Baltimore, keeping the offense moving despite Chase Brown's disappointing performance.

Brooks took some late-game carries away from Chase Brown in the Bengals' win over Baltimore, indicating he has a role in the backfield.

Perine took a goal-line touchdown away from Chase Brown in the Bengals' win over Baltimore, indicating he has a role in short-yardage situations.

Brown had a modest 15 touches for 58 total yards in the Bengals' win over Baltimore, losing a goal-line touchdown to Samaje Perine and some late-game carries to Tahj Brooks; the second-round draft theory was tied to a heavy workload share with no real competition, but things haven't played out that way, and if redrafted today, Brown would likely slide into the dead zone for running backs.

Gordon has looked legit in every one of his starts, including a 25-103-1 performance at the Jets in Miami's first win of the season; the source passed on him a few weeks back and regrets it, noting Gordon has probably earned set-and-forget RB2 status moving forward.

Wilson had 2 catches for 26 yards on 3 targets in the Jets' win against the Dolphins; the source gives him a pass given the emergence of Omar Cooper Jr. and Mason Taylor in the passing game.

Taylor, an overlooked tight end, caught 5 passes for 62 yards and 2 TDs in the Jets' win against the Dolphins, with two of Geno Smith's three touchdown passes going to him; the source notes this was a clear validation of his role.

Smith threw for 287 yards and 3 touchdowns in the Jets' win against the Dolphins, with two of the scores going to overlooked tight end Mason Taylor.

Mitchell returned to the Jets' lineup but the source suggests cutting him outright, as Omar Cooper Jr. and Mason Taylor have emerged as the preferred pass-catchers in the New York passing game.

Cooper Jr. had a breakthrough last week and validation this week with 5 catches for 115 yards and 1 TD against the Dolphins, doing so with Adonai Mitchell back and the New York passing game ostensibly healthy; Geno Smith threw for 287 yards and 3 scores.

Dowdle handled 15 carries for 86 total yards in the Steelers' win, establishing a 60-40 workload ratio with Jaylen Warren (21 touches) that the source expects to continue moving forward.

Warren rolled up 137 total yards but didn't score a touchdown in the Steelers' win, his sixth game without a spike this season; the source notes he usually plays well and still is a mild disappointment for fantasy, and the Steelers are stuck on just one rushing touchdown for the year.

Spears' absence opened the door for Tony Pollard to take on additional receiving work (3-26-0) in the Bengals' win over Cleveland.

Pollard had a breakthrough performance against Cleveland's respected rushing defense with 25 carries for 129 yards and 3 TDs, plus 3 catches for 26 yards; the source notes something clicked and Pollard deserves RB2 trust privileges for the Bengals next week against Tennessee, ending a stretch where he was an empty-calories back who got touches but not touchdowns.

Tracy Jr. suffered an early injury in the Giants' overtime win against the Texans, posting 6 carries for 15 yards and 1 TD before being sidelined; his injury opened the door for Cam Skattebo to reclaim his role.

Skattebo got his job back with 17 carries for 124 yards and 1 TD in the Giants' overtime win against the Texans, though an early injury to Tyrone Tracy Jr. cleared the path for his increased workload.

Likely was quiet with 2 catches for 12 yards in the Giants' overtime win, but the source notes he is obviously a top-10 tight end moving forward despite the quiet week.

Nabers led the Giants receiving corps with 7 catches for 111 yards on 9 targets in the overtime win against the Texans, benefiting from J.J. McCarthy's downfield passing approach.

McCarthy pushed the ball downfield with a 99.1 rating and 252 yards, though he didn't account for any scores; he kept pumping the ball to Malik Nabers, who led the Giants receiving corps.

Tank Dell is now part of the Texans' wide receiver tree, adding to the spread-it-out nature of the passing game and limiting upside for other receivers like Nico Collins and Jaylin Noel.

Noel, a trendy sleeper, was held in check with 2 catches for minus-3 yards on 2 targets in the Texans' overtime loss to the Giants; the source notes he is interesting but has to share with a wide receiver tree that now includes Tank Dell.

Collins was held in check with 2 catches for 6 yards on 6 targets in the Texans' overtime loss to the Giants; the source notes Collins remains an uber-talent but the spread-it-out shape of the passing game is capping his upside, with Tank Dell now also in the mix.

Hutchinson had 3 catches for 17 yards and 1 TD in the Texans' overtime loss to the Giants, one of C.J. Stroud's two touchdown passes.

Harrison Jr. caught 1 pass for 6 yards and 1 TD in the Texans' overtime loss to the Giants; the source questions why he remains on fantasy rosters given his inconsistent production in a spread-it-out passing game.

Stroud was held to 5.5 yards per attempt and 153 passing yards in the Texans' overtime loss to the Giants, a rare off-week for a player who has been a saving grace for fantasy managers most of the year; his two touchdown passes went to Marvin Harrison Jr. and Xavier Hutchinson.

Mayfield attempted just 11 passes in Tampa Bay's dominant 43-13 win over Carolina, as the Buccaneers ran a 1970s-style rushing offense with 258 yards on the ground and 43 total points on just 64 net passing yards; he will need to do more cooking next week against Atlanta.

Irving had the best rushing performance for Tampa Bay in their dominant 43-13 win over Carolina, posting 24 carries for 106 yards and 2 TDs as the Buccaneers ran a 1970s-style offense with 258 rushing yards on just 11 Baker Mayfield pass attempts.

Tyus III scored a touchdown on a drive orchestrated by Kenny Pickett in the fourth quarter of the Panthers' blowout loss to Tampa Bay.

Pickett entered the game in the fourth quarter after Bryce Young was pulled and orchestrated one touchdown drive, though fantasy managers would have preferred garbage time production.

Hubbard was on the sidelines for much of the Panthers' 43-13 blowout loss to Tampa Bay, posting just 60 total yards; the game got out of hand early, limiting his opportunities.

Coker had 1 catch for 9 yards on 4 targets in the Panthers' 43-13 blowout loss to Tampa Bay.

McMillan struggled with 4 catches for 40 yards on 6 targets in the Panthers' 43-13 blowout loss to Tampa Bay, unable to generate production in a game that got out of hand early.

Young's breakout year was put on hold with a poor performance in a 43-13 loss to Tampa Bay: 163 passing yards, 1 TD, 2 INTs, 5 sacks, and 1 fumble lost that turned into a Tampa Bay score; he was pulled early in the fourth quarter by Dave Canales.

Kirk saw no targets in limited time as one of the 49ers' fill-in receivers with six players inactive or on IR.

Cowing had 3 catches for 38 yards as a fill-in receiver in the 49ers' depleted wide receiver room with six players inactive or on IR.

Watkins saw limited action with 3 catches for 56 yards as one of the fill-in receivers for the 49ers' depleted wide receiver room with six players inactive or on IR.

Kittle was close to his Week 7 projection with 8 catches for 88 yards on 10 targets; the 49ers' receiver injuries elevated his role and target share.

McCaffrey posted 100 total yards and a TD, close to his Week 7 projection, but missed some time with an in-game calf injury; the 49ers have a Week 8 bye followed by get-right matchups against the Raiders and Cowboys.

Purdy had a respectable day despite severe receiver injuries (27-of-40, 288 yards, 1 TD, 2 INTs) in a short-week trap spot at Atlanta on 10 a.m. body clock time; the 49ers had six receivers inactive or on IR, forcing Purdy to work with Jordan Watkins, Jacob Cowing, and Christian Kirk in limited roles.

Aaron Jones Sr. was dinged up in the Vikings' win over the Colts with 8 carries for 26 yards, allowing Jordan Mason to lead the backfield.

Mason was the best of the Vikings' backs with 15 carries for 68 yards in the win over the Colts, in part because Aaron Jones Sr. was dinged up; he is one of the few Vikings fantasy options moving forward.

Murray threw for just 150 yards and 1 TD in an ugly Vikings win over the Colts; he has not played well all year, and the Vikings continue to be all defense, a little running, and no passing game.

Tyson might be back soon for the Saints, which could further limit Juwan Johnson's opportunities in the passing game.

Kamara was a PPR scam in the Saints' loss to Pittsburgh, as the Saints are spreading targets to their wideouts and backs rather than concentrating on him.

Johnson, a favorite draft target with a great first month, has seen his stock fall apart over the last three games with just 5 catches for 23 yards; he had a mere 1 catch on 3 targets in the Saints' loss to Pittsburgh, as the Saints are throwing to their wideouts and even their backs (Alvin Kamara was a PPR scam), and Jordyn Tyson might be back soon, making Johnson not good enough to be carried through a Week 8 bye in most leagues.

Burrow threw for 292 yards and 4 TDs in the Bengals' win over Baltimore, keeping the offense moving despite Chase Brown's disappointing performance.

Brooks took late-game carries away from Chase Brown in the Bengals' win over Baltimore, suggesting he is getting opportunities in the backfield.

Perine took a goal-line touchdown away from Chase Brown in the Bengals' win over Baltimore, indicating he has a role in the red zone.

Brown, drafted in the second round based on a heavy workload share with no real competition in Cincinnati, has not played out that way; he had a modest 15 touches for 58 total yards in the Bengals' win over Baltimore, losing a goal-line touchdown to Samaje Perine and late-game carries to Tahj Brooks, and would likely slide into the dead zone for running backs if redrafted today.

Gordon has looked legit in every one of his starts, including a 25-103-1 performance at the Jets in Week 7; Miami finally got its first win and has been competitive in most of its losses, and Gordon has probably earned set-and-forget RB2 status moving forward.

Wilson had 2 catches for 26 yards on 3 targets in the Jets' win over the Dolphins; the source gives him a pass given the team's overall passing success.

Taylor, an overlooked tight end, had 5 catches for 62 yards and 2 TDs plus a conversion in the Jets' win over the Dolphins; he is emerging as a viable fantasy option.

Smith threw for 287 yards and 3 TDs in the Jets' win over the Dolphins, with two scores surprisingly going to overlooked tight end Mason Taylor.

Mitchell returned to the Jets' passing game, but the source recommends cutting him outright, suggesting he is not a viable fantasy option despite his return.

Cooper Jr. had a breakthrough last week and validation this week with 5 catches for 115 yards and 1 TD against the Dolphins; this production came with Adonai Mitchell back and the New York passing game ostensibly healthy, suggesting Cooper Jr. is a legitimate option.

Dowdle handled 15 touches for 86 total yards in the Steelers' game, establishing a 60-40 workload split with Jaylen Warren (21 touches) that is expected to continue moving forward.

Warren rolled up 137 total yards but did not score a touchdown in Week 7, his sixth game without a spike this season; he received 21 touches but the Steelers remain stuck on one rushing touchdown for the year, limiting his fantasy ceiling.

Spears' absence in Week 7 allowed Tony Pollard to take on additional receiving work (3-26-0) for the Bengals.

Pollard, who had been an empty-calories back with touches but no touchdowns and poor efficiency, broke through against Cleveland's respected rushing defense with 25 carries for 129 yards and 3 TDs, plus 3 catches for 26 yards; he deserves RB2 trust privileges for the Bengals' next matchup against Tennessee.

Tracy Jr. suffered an early injury in the Giants' overtime win over the Texans, posting 6 carries for 15 yards and 1 TD before being sidelined; this opened the door for Cam Skattebo to reclaim the lead role.

Likely was quiet with 2 catches for 12 yards in the Giants' overtime win, but the source projects him as a top-10 tight end moving forward.

Nabers was McCarthy's primary target with 7 catches for 111 yards on 9 targets in the Giants' overtime win over the Texans; he remains a reliable receiving option.

Noel, a trendy sleeper, was held in check with 2 catches for minus-3 yards on 2 targets in the Texans' overtime loss to the Giants; he must share targets with a wide receiver tree that now includes Tank Dell, limiting his upside.

Collins was held in check with 2 catches for 6 yards on 6 targets in the Texans' overtime loss to the Giants; the spread-it-out shape of the passing game is capping his upside despite his uber-talent status.

Hutchinson had 3 catches for 17 yards and 1 TD in the Texans' overtime loss to the Giants; he was one of two receivers to score for Stroud.

Harrison Jr. caught 1 pass for 6 yards and 1 TD in the Texans' overtime loss to the Giants; despite the touchdown, the source questions why he remains on fantasy rosters given his limited production.

Stroud was held to 5.5 yards per attempt and 153 passing yards in the Texans' overtime loss to the Giants; his two touchdown passes went to Marvin Harrison Jr. and Xavier Hutchinson, leaving fantasy staples Nico Collins and sleeper Jaylin Noel in check.

Mayfield attempted just 11 passes in the Buccaneers' 43-13 blowout win over Carolina, finishing with 64 net passing yards; the Bucs ran a 1970s-style offense with 258 rushing yards, limiting Mayfield's fantasy upside despite the high team score.

Coker had 1 catch for 9 yards on 4 targets in the Panthers' blowout loss to Tampa Bay; he was ineffective in the game.

McMillan had 4 catches for 40 yards on 6 targets in the Panthers' 43-13 loss to Tampa Bay; he could not get going in the blowout.

Young's breakout year was derailed in a 43-13 loss to Tampa Bay with 163 passing yards, 1 TD, 2 INTs, 5 sacks, and a lost fumble that resulted in a Tampa Bay score; he struggled to get anything going with receivers Tetairoa McMillan and Jalen Coker.

Kirk saw no targets in limited time in Week 7 despite the 49ers' receiver injuries; he is not a viable fantasy option.

Cowing had 3 catches for 38 yards in Week 7 as a fill-in option with six 49ers receivers inactive or on IR; he is not a reliable fantasy play.

Watkins saw limited action with 3 catches for 56 yards in Week 7 as the 49ers dealt with six receivers on IR or inactive; he is not a reliable fantasy option given the depth of injuries.

Kittle was close to projection in Week 7 with 8 catches for 88 yards and 10 targets despite the 49ers' depleted receiver room; he remains a reliable target in the offense.

McCaffrey posted 100 total yards and a TD, close to projection for Week 7, but missed some time with an in-game calf injury; the 49ers have a Week 8 bye followed by get-right matchups against the Raiders and Cowboys.

Puka Nacua today: 🐏 8/10 REC 🐏 78 YDS 🐏 1 TD 💥 21.8 FPTS

Finished with 73 yards on six catches for Raiders against Rams, demonstrating consistent receiving role and production in Las Vegas offense.

Caught five passes for 103 yards with a touchdown for Raiders against Rams, demonstrating strong receiving production and role in Las Vegas offense despite the loss.

Caught Stafford's other two first-half touchdowns, demonstrating red-zone opportunity and role in Rams' explosive first-half performance that built a 28-6 halftime lead.

Led Rams rushing attack with 99 yards on 16 carries and a touchdown against Raiders; the source notes the Rams would have rushed for over 200 yards if not for kneel-downs at the end of the game, indicating strong ground-game efficiency and workload.

Blake Corum received carries after Kyren Williams fumbled in the second half of Week 7. Corum had a rushing touchdown called back due to a facemask penalty on the Rams, but later capped off the offensive day with a rushing score late in the game to help seal the victory.

Kyren Williams scored a rushing touchdown in the first half of the Rams' Week 7 victory over the Raiders. The Rams jumped out to a 28-6 halftime lead with Stafford throwing three passing touchdowns and Williams adding a score on the ground.

Stafford threw three passing touchdowns in Week 7 against the Raiders, leading the Rams to a 35-21 victory and climbing the team back into the NFC West race at 3-4. The source credits McVay and the gameplan execution for the strong offensive performance.

Parkinson popped an intended pass from Matthew Stafford in the air in the fourth quarter, resulting in an interception that continued the Rams' pattern of self-inflicted mistakes and inability to put games away.

Corum received carries after Kyren Williams' fumble in the second half, including a rushing touchdown late in the game that capped off the Rams' offensive day. He had a run called back due to a facemask penalty on L.A., but ultimately scored to help seal the victory.

Williams scored on the ground in the first half as the Rams built a 28-6 halftime lead, but fumbled in the second half, setting the Raiders up for points off the turnover. After the fumble, Blake Corum was given carries, suggesting a potential shift in backfield usage.

Stafford threw three touchdowns in the Rams' 35-21 win over the Raiders, leading the offense to a dominant first half with a 28-6 halftime lead. He also threw an interception in the fourth quarter when Colby Parkinson popped the intended pass in the air, showing some inconsistency despite the strong overall performance.

Tight end Colby Parkinson had an on-target pass from Matthew Stafford bounce off his hands and into the hands of Raiders linebacker Nakobe Dean for an interception in the fourth quarter. This play contributed to Stafford's final stat line of 23-of-29 for 195 yards with three touchdowns and one interception.

Former All-Pro receiver Davante Adams was unavailable for Sunday's game due to a hamstring injury. The Raiders, who lost four straight games, were unable to mount a serious threat against the Rams despite Adams' absence being a notable loss.

Corum rushed for 93 yards and 1 touchdown, including a touchdown run that extended the Rams' lead to 35-18 and iced the game with 6:34 remaining. He was part of a Rams rushing attack that tallied 199 yards on 5.2 yards per attempt as Los Angeles amassed 386 yards of total offense.

Williams rushed for 99 yards and 1 touchdown on the day, including a 17-yard touchdown run before halftime that extended the Rams' lead to 28-6. He was part of a Rams rushing attack that tallied 199 yards on 5.2 yards per attempt as Los Angeles amassed 386 yards of total offense.

Stafford completed 17-of-19 passes for 148 yards with three touchdowns and no turnovers through halftime, channeling his MVP form from 2025; finished the game 23-of-29 for 195 yards with three touchdowns and one interception (which bounced off tight end Colby Parkinson's hands into linebacker Nakobe Dean's). His third touchdown pass to Puka Nacua was the 155th of his Rams career, moving him past Roman Gabriel for the most in franchise history.

The fifth-round rookie is receiving increased opportunities with the Ravens, which is eroding Mark Andrews' already declining workload. Cuevas' rising role suggests the Ravens are moving away from Andrews as a featured target.

Jackson is recovering from an ankle injury and his return is uncertain. Even when he was in the lineup earlier in the season, Mark Andrews was averaging just 3.3 catches for 20.8 yards across four games, suggesting Jackson's return may not significantly boost Andrews' production.

Andrews is being rostered more for reputation than production; he has posted less than 30 receiving yards in five consecutive outings and found the end zone only once during the 2026 NFL season. Even when Lamar Jackson was in the lineup, Andrews averaged just 3.3 catches for 20.8 yards across four games while struggling with drops. The Ravens' addition of fifth-round rookie Josh Cuevas further erodes Andrews' already declining workload.

Mayfield is returning to the Buccaneers lineup, which provides some context for Chris Godwin Jr.'s limited production. However, even with Mayfield's return, Godwin remains a low-upside option given his lack of scoring and yardage production.

Godwin totaled just 27 yards on four catches in a blowout win where the Buccaneers attempted only 11 passes, despite soaking up five of those targets. He hasn't scored across seven games and hasn't eclipsed 46 receiving yards in any game, remaining a low-upside option even with Baker Mayfield returning. The 30-year-old's lack of touchdown production and yardage ceiling limit his fantasy appeal.

Olave has become a primary target for Saints quarterback Tyler Shough, receiving increased attention in the passing game at the expense of tight end Juwan Johnson. This shift in target allocation supports Olave's role as a featured receiver in the Saints offense.

Johnson's production has cratered after a strong start; he posted just five catches for 23 yards over his last three games combined as quarterback Tyler Shough has shifted attention toward Chris Olave and Kamara in the passing game. The mercurial nature of tight end makes him hard to trust, and with the Saints on bye in Week 8, fantasy managers can drop him without immediate waiver wire concern.

Etienne is eligible to return from IR starting in Week 9, which will reshape the Saints backfield and end the Miller-Kamara tandem. His return signals a shift in the Saints' backfield hierarchy and will likely reduce opportunities for both Miller and Kamara.

Kamara's strong receiving skill set positions him as the more likely Saints back to remain involved once Travis Etienne Jr. returns from IR in Week 9, contrasting with Kendre Miller's inefficiency. Kamara appears positioned to operate as a change-of-pace option in a three-back rotation, preserving his fantasy value better than Miller heading into the second half.

Miller led the Saints with eight carries in Week 7 but converted them into just six yards, showing inefficiency after a career-high 20 carries for 70 yards in Week 6. With Alvin Kamara's strong receiving skill set and Travis Etienne Jr. eligible to return from IR in Week 9, Miller's time as a featured back appears over. Kamara is more likely to remain involved as a change-of-pace option post-Etienne return, making Miller a low-upside, touchdown-dependent flex to drop.

Murray threw for just 150 yards and a touchdown against the Colts in Week 7 despite a favorable matchup and coming off a bye; while he has rushing upside (39 yards on five carries), he hasn't logged multiple touchdowns in a game with the Vikings. Minnesota's elite defense and efficient offense may not require high scoring, limiting Murray's ceiling. He remains only a matchup-based streamer given strong quarterback depth this year.

Jacoby Brissett was held to just 53 passing yards in the first half by Denver's defense, which was effective in limiting Arizona's offensive output to 117 total yards; the absence of Jeremiyah Love at running back put additional pressure on Brissett.

Bam Knight had a 29-yard run against Denver's defense; outside of this chunk play, Denver's run defense was strong against Arizona's ground attack.

Trey McBride was limited in the first half with just four catches for 20 yards as Denver's defense prioritized containing him, but he became the focal point of Arizona's offensive attack in the second half, finishing with 11 catches for 111 yards and a touchdown.

Marvin Mims Jr. caught a 42-yard catch-and-run reception in the final minutes of the third quarter that advanced Denver into the red zone, contributing to the offensive momentum that led to a short-yardage touchdown and multiple-score lead.

RJ Harvey scored on a 52-yard screen pass touchdown against the blitz in the second half; Jonah Coleman emphasized this play pattern should be repeated moving forward, noting that when Harvey gets in space, great things happen and he is incredible in that regard.

Jonah Coleman returned from injury and delivered a strong comeback performance; despite Denver running just nine times in the first half, Coleman's usage increased significantly in the final thirty minutes, opening up opportunities for Nix's aerial attack and contributing to Denver's most productive offensive game of the season.

Bo Nix showed offensive spark and mobility despite ankle concerns; completed 10-of-19 for 72 yards in first half with limited success on first-down passing (significant regression noted vs. 2024-2025), but ignited Denver's offense with a remarkable 62-yard touchdown scamper in the second quarter that catalyzed several encouraging drives and helped the Broncos score their most points of the season.

Imaging being such a pathetic loser that your entire personality resolves around Jahmyr Gibbs scoring here Also how the fuck does he not score here?

Bo Nix in Week 7: 222 passing yards 1 TD, 0 INT 74 rushing yards 1 rushing TD Most rushing yards by a Bronco this season.

Jahmyr Gibbs almost injured himself trying to stop himself from getting into the endzone 😭

Running back JK Dobbins scored a touchdown on a run set up by Marvin Mims' 47-yard gain, contributing to the Broncos' explosive offensive performance that included three of the four longest plays of the year for Denver.

Tight end Trey McBride recorded 10 catches for 111 yards and a touchdown for the Cardinals against Denver, but the Cardinals' offensive performance was hampered by their inability to convert two first-half red zone trips into touchdowns, ultimately resulting in a 30-16 loss.

Wide receiver Jaylen Waddle suffered a chest injury late in the fourth quarter against Arizona and did not return. His status heading into the Broncos' upcoming matchup against Kansas City is something to monitor.

Wide receiver Marvin Mims picked up 47 yards against the Cardinals to set up a JK Dobbins touchdown run, representing one of the Broncos' three longest plays of the year. The production shows Mims' continued involvement in Denver's big-play offensive attack.

Running back RJ Harvey broke a short pass for a 52-yard touchdown against Arizona, one of three of the four longest plays of the year for the Broncos. The big-play production demonstrates Harvey's role in the Broncos' explosive offensive scheme and his ability to generate chunk yardage.

After negative discourse following Week 6's overtime win over the Seahawks, Nix delivered a strong performance against Arizona: 62-yard rushing touchdown, 15-of-29 passing for 222 yards and another touchdown in a 30-16 road win. The performance and Broncos' 5-2 record heading into a matchup against Kansas City suggests improved trajectory and positive momentum for the quarterback.

Sam Darnold is described as playing bench-worthy football and in a funk; the source raises the question of whether he will continue this poor performance or snap out of it, indicating recent underperformance and uncertainty about his near-term fantasy outlook.

Kenneth Walker III is the league-leading rusher for the undefeated Kansas City Chiefs and presents a significant matchup challenge for the Seahawks defense; the source specifically questions whether Seattle's defense can prevent him from rushing for over 100 yards again, suggesting he has been a consistent high-volume threat.

Darnold threw an incompletion on third down that forced Seattle to punt, ending the Seahawks' opening drive.

Smith-Njigba gained five yards on an end-around and later converted third-and-5 with a nine-yard reception, contributing to Seattle's opening drive that moved from the 15-yard line to the 42.

Worthy gained only two yards on second down and had an incomplete pass on third down under pressure from Derick Hall, stalling the Chiefs' drive at Seattle's 42-yard line.

Gray made the biggest play of Kansas City's second drive, hauling in a 19-yard reception to move the Chiefs across midfield.

Kelce committed an illegal-shift penalty that erased a 12-yard completion to Kenneth Walker III on third-and-7, forcing the Chiefs into a third-and-12 situation; Kelce later had an incomplete pass on third-and-12.

Mahomes completed passes to Cyrus Allen (18 yards), Kenneth Walker III (12 yards, negated by penalty), Travis Kelce (incomplete), Justin Watson, and Noah Gray (19 yards) in the first quarter, showing balanced target distribution across receivers and tight ends.

Shaheed made fair catches on two punts during the first quarter: one at Seattle's 15-yard line after a 36-yard punt by Matt Araiza, and another at the Seahawks' 7-yard line after Araiza's second punt, indicating involvement in return duties.

Walker has rushed for at least 100 yards in four of the Chiefs' five games this season; Seattle's defense has not allowed a rusher to gain 100+ yards in 35 consecutive games, setting up a notable matchup narrative for Week 7.
