Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes will take on the San Francisco 49ers in Week 7. Mahomes and the Chiefs emerge from their Week 6 bye as one of two undefeated teams in the National Football League. Despite Kansas City's success, Mahomes has yet to be a top-end fantasy option at the quarterback position this season. Mahomes is averaging just 13.7 fantasy points per game in a 4-point per passing touchdown league. The Kansas City quarterback currently ranks as a low-end QB2, a far cry from where he was selected during draft season. Mahomes will have to take on a well-rounded Niners defense ranked 14th in fantasy points allowed to opposing quarterbacks. The San Francisco defense is more formidable against the run than the pass, so Mahomes may have to do more in this matchup, but Andy Reid has shown his dedication toward leaning on the run game this season. Until he proves otherwise, Mahomes should no longer be viewed as a top-12 quarterback option in fantasy football.

Buffalo Bills rookie running back Ray Davis (calf) popped up on this week's injury report on Thursday and was limited in practice the last two days. The Bills listed him as questionable to play this Sunday in Week 7 against the Tennessee Titans. It's disappointing for fantasy managers that picked Davis up off the waiver wire after his impressive performance against the division-rival New York Jets on Monday night. The 24-year-old fourth-rounder was explosive on his way to 97 rushing yards on 20 carries with James Cook (toe) inactive in Week 6. He also caught all three of his targets for 55 yards. Cook has been cleared to play in Week 7, so even if Davis is given the green light to play on Sunday, he'll likely take a back seat to Cook in the running game. Despite the bad news, Davis' upside makes him a worthwhile stash in most leagues, especially if you also have Cook rostered.

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce will face the San Francisco 49ers in Week 7. Kelce and the Chiefs should be fresh coming off their Week 6 bye. The Chiefs tight end put together a strong performance in the team's last contest against the New Orleans Saints in Week 5. Kelce caught nine passes for 70 yards against the Saints two weeks ago. With wide receiver Rashee Rice likely out for the remainder of the regular season, Kelce should continue to see a high-volume workload. However, the Chiefs are facing the Niners, who know them well. These two teams matched up in the 2020 Super Bowl, and Kansas City walked away with the victory in that game. The Niners know that Kelce is the biggest threat in the Kansas City passing attack, which means he could see some extra attention in this contest. The San Francisco defense is ranked 12th in fantasy points allowed to opposing tight ends this season, so this matchup will not be a walk in the park. Despite the tough matchup, Kelce is seeing elite opportunity as a tight end, and he should be started with confidence every week.

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert (hamstring) will not play in Week 7, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. Goedert left last weekend's game early with a hamstring injury and did not participate in any team practices this week. The 29-year-old will now shift his focus on returning in Week 8 to face the Cincinnati Bengals. As a result, Grant Calcaterra will move up to the top of the depth chart and could be worth a look as a replacement in deeper formats, as he caught four passes for 67 yards last weekend when filling in Goedert.

Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt will take on the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday afternoon in Week 7. Hunt has taken over the Chiefs backfield in both games he has played this season. In the Chiefs most recent contest against the Saints in Week 5, Hunt totaled 27 carries for 102 yards and a rushing touchdown. The Chiefs running back also had one catch for 15 yards in that game. This week, Hunt will have more competition for touches out of the backfield with the return of Clyde Edwards-Helaire. The Chiefs former first-round pick was officially activated from the NFI list and should mix into the backfield immediately. Hunt and the Chiefs will also have a tough matchup against the San Francisco defense. The Niners have allowed the seventh-fewest rushing yards per game to opposing offenses this season. Despite the unclear touch distribution out of the backfield and tough matchup, Hunt is still ranked as RB17 in our Half-PPR RotoBaller rankings this week. Fantasy managers should still start Hunt this week, but don't be surprised if he has a down game.

Minnesota Vikings running back Aaron Jones (hamstring) was officially listed as questionable to play in Week 7 against the division-rival Detroit Lions on Sunday. Jones did not practice on Wednesday but was limited on Thursday and Friday and is reportedly likely to suit up for the big divisional clash despite the questionable tag. Fantasy managers will want to check back on Sunday morning to see that Jones is officially active before locking him into lineups. The 29-year-old luckily had the Week 6 bye to heal up and should be ready to roll on Sunday. If for some reason he isn't or is limited with his workload, the Vikings have both Ty Chandler and Cam Akers that could see more work out of the backfield. Jones will be more of a shaky RB3/flex this weekend if he plays. He enters Week 7 averaging 12.7 fantasy points per game, good for 15th among all RBs.

From RotoBaller

Minnesota Vikings tight end T.J. Hockenson (knee) is officially listed as questionable to suit up this Sunday for his 2024 debut in Week 7 against the division-rival Detroit Lions. Hockenson said earlier this week he still doesn't have a set date for when he expects to come off Injured Reserve to make his season debut, so it seems unlikely that the Vikings will have him return this Sunday. The 27-year-old returned to practice two weeks ago as he continues to rehab ACL and MCL tears in his knee. In the event Hockenson was activated to play against the Lions, he'd almost certainly be eased in and therefore would be a very volatile fantasy play. With that said, Hockenson needs to be rostered in all fantasy formats, as he has the ability to be a weekly TE1 play when all is said and done in 2024.

Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane (concussion) said he cleared the league's concussion protocol and is in line to play this Sunday in Week 7 versus the Indianapolis Colts. Achane practiced in full all week, so the writing was on the wall for him to be active this weekend after he suffered a concussion in the Week 5 game against the division-rival New England Patriots. The 23-year-old was fortunate to have a bye last week to rest up, and now he's ready to go as Miami's lead back against the Colts. He had only three carries against the Pats in Week 5 before being ruled out with his head injury. Achane and the rest of the Dolphins' offensive skill players will have lower fantasy ceilings and floors as long as quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) remains out, but Achane should at least be in play as an RB2 in a good matchup in Indy this weekend.

The Miami Dolphins have listed wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. (hamstring) as questionable to play in Week 7 against the Indianapolis Colts due to a hamstring injury. Beckham missed all of training camp and the first four weeks of the 2024 regular season due to a knee injury that required offseason surgery, but now he's dealing with a hamstring ailment coming out of the team's bye week. In his 2024 debut with Miami in Week 5 against the division-rival New England Patriots, OBJ played just 11 offensive snaps and couldn't corral is only target in the passing game. The 31-year-old veteran is far from the fantasy radar as things currently stand, especially with quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) still on Injured Reserve. No receiver in Miami can be trusted in fantasy outside of Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle with QB Tyler Huntley running the offense.

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (ankle) is officially listed as doubtful to play in Week 7 on Sunday versus the Los Angeles Rams. Head coach Antonio Pierce was hopeful that Meyers would play this weekend after he missed practice on Wednesday, but the 27-year-old pass-catcher wasn't able to get back on the practice field on Thursday and is now likely to miss his second straight game. After the Raiders traded away All-Pro receiver Davante Adams to the Jets this week, their receiving corps is brutally thin with Meyers also hurt. They will move forward with Tre Tucker, DJ Turner and rookie tight end Brock Bowers as their primary targets for quarterback Aidan O'Connell through the air. Tyreik McAllister and Kristian Wilkerson could also get more involved for the Raiders at wideout. At best, Tucker should be considered more of a WR5/flex in fantasy with Meyers likely out again.

Los Angeles Rams rookie wide receiver Jordan Whittington (shoulder) is expected to play in Week 7 on Sunday against the Las Vegas Raiders, according to head coach Sean McVay. Whittington, who will be listed as questionable on the final injury report on Friday, could once again have an expanded role if Cooper Kupp (ankle) is rested for another week. Kupp is considered a game-time decision for Sunday. The 24-year-old Whittington caught 13 of his 18 targets for 151 yards and no touchdowns in the last two games with Kupp sidelined. However, he'll only be worthy of flex consideration in deeper fantasy leagues this weekend in a plus-plus matchup if Kupp misses another game. In five games total in his rookie campaign in 2024 for the Rams, Whittington has produced 18 receptions on 23 targets for 201 yards and no touchdowns.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster (hamstring) was held out of Thursday's practice session but returned to practice on Friday. Head coach Andy Reid said Smith-Schuster will play during the Week 7 matchup against the San Francisco 49ers. It sounds like the team is leaving him as questionable on the injury report just in case he suffers a setback. Smith-Schuster hauled in seven of his eight targets for 130 yards in Week 5. The Chiefs are limited in terms of viable passing options, so Smith-Schuster should continue being the primary slot receiver. The 27-year-old has some flex appeal heading into a tough matchup against the 49ers.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp (ankle) is considered questionable to play in the Week 7 game on Sunday against the Las Vegas Raiders. Head coach Sean McVay said a decision on Kupp could come down to closer to game time on Sunday. Kupp suffered an ankle sprain in Week 2 but has made good progress coming out of the bye week and could return to action this weekend. However, the 31-year-old is up in the air, making the decision to play him in fantasy lineups in Week 7 a little tricky with the Rams not kicking off until the later slate on Sunday. LA plays again next Thursday night on a quick turnaround against the Minnesota Vikings, too, which could influence their decision to rest Kupp for another week. The good news is Kupp "had a good week" of practice. If he returns on Sunday, Kupp will be a must-start for fantasy managers in an excellent matchup.

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Treylon Burks (knee) has been ruled out ahead of the Week 7 matchup against the Buffalo Bills. Head coach Brian Callahan said Burks is a candidate for the injured reserve. The third-year wideout hurt his knee last week and it appears to be fairly serious. His absence isn't going to make much of an impact to the Titans offense. Burks has hauled in four receptions for 34 yards in five games this season. DeAndre Hopkins, Calvin Ridley, and Tyler Boyd all see a slight uptick with Burks sitting out this weekend. However, they haven't had much fantasy value due to the poor play of quarterback Will Levis.

Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said the team has decided on a starter for Sunday's Week 7 matchup against the New York Jets. Tomlin said he is keeping that decision in-house, but he might be the only one actually trying to do that. Wide receiver George Pickens said that he has been putting in extra work with Wilson this week because it's his first start. Wilson has been getting first-team reps this week and all signs are pointing to him starting this weekend. The 35-year-old won't get an easy task against the Jets strong pass defense. He'll be on the QB2 radar in what looks to be his team debut this weekend.

From RotoBaller

Tennessee Titans running back Tyjae Spears (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of the Week 7 matchup against the Buffalo Bills. This comes as little surprise considering the team is calling Spears week-to-week right now after suffering a hamstring injury last week. The absence of Spears means that Tony Pollard is going to see the bulk of the carries this weekend. The increase in workload should put Pollard on the RB1 radar for this weekend. Pollard has rushed the ball 16 times or more in every game, but one this season. He might see 20 touches with the Titans shorthanded in the backfield.

New York Jets wide receiver Davante Adams (hamstring) is expected to make his team debut during the Week 7 matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Adams hasn't played since Week 3 due to a hamstring issue. However, he appears to be miraculously cured after being traded to the Jets. The star wideout has been able to practice in full all week. Head coach Jeff Ulbrich said he expects Adams to have a full workload this weekend. Adams figures to make an immediate impact in New York and should be inserted into fantasy lineups as a WR1.

Cleveland Browns running back Jerome Ford (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of the Week 7 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals. This doesn't come as much of a shock after head coach Kevin Stefanski recently said Ford is considered week-to-week. Ford hasn't practiced all week, so fantasy managers will need to be hopeful for a Week 8 return. However, it's worth noting that fellow back Nick Chubb (knee) is likely to make his season debut this weekend. He figures to take over the bulk of the carries once he's back to full speed. Nyheim Hines (knee) is unlikely to play, so Chubb could be forced into a big role during his first game back.

From RotoBaller

Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb (knee) is currently listed as questionable ahead of the Week 7 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals. Despite the tag, head coach Kevin Stefanski expects Chubb to be active this weekend. This would be the first game action for Chubb since he suffered that horrible season-ending knee injury last season. It wouldn't be shocking to see the Browns limit Chubb's usage during his first game back. It's worth noting that fellow running back Jerome Ford (hamstring) has already been ruled out. That being said, the Browns might have no choice but to lean on Chubb in the rushing attack. For now, fantasy managers should put him on the flex radar for Week 7.

New York Giants rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers (concussion) said he's ready to play in Week 7 against the division-rival Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday and is "very excited" to get back on the field after missing the last two games due to a concussion. "Every game is a big game to me," Nabers said. The first-round rookie sensation out of LSU was trending towards playing this weekend when he was officially cleared from the leagues concussion protocol on Thursday. Nabers' return is bad news for the fantasy upside of both Wan'Dale Robinson and Darius Slayton, who were seeing more targets in his absence the last few weeks, but it's great news for quarterback Daniel Jones. Nabers racked up an eye-opening 35 catches for 386 yards and three touchdowns in his first four NFL games and needs to be returned to all starting lineups for Week 7 immediately.
