Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett (knee) continues to be a very consistent fantasy asset. Lockett has had a low ceiling this season (currently WR30), but he is a good bet to score double-digit fantasy points in any given week. Lockett is the definition of a bye-week fill-in. He should be on rosters everywhere and should have no problem delivering flex value. Lockett did manage to score his first touchdown of the season in Week 6 against the San Francisco 49ers. If he can continue to score touchdowns at a higher rate, then he could sneak into the WR3 range. Lockett did not practice on Thursday with a knee injury but he was a full participant on Friday and it appears that he will have no limitations in Week 7.

Washington Commanders kicker Austin Seibert saw his perfect streak end last weekend, but he remains a top kicking option on Sunday. Last week, Seibert was given two attempts from over 50+ yards and went 1-for-2 on those attempts. He remained perfect from under 50 yards out and on extra-point attempts. Since joining Washington in Week 2, Seibert has averaged an impressive 12.0 PPR points per game and has made at least two field goals in all but one game this season. Facing the Carolina Panthers, who have allowed the 28th-most points to opposing kickers, pushed Seibert into must-start territory as he should have ample opportunities given the potent Washington offense.

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith is in position for another monster game in Week 7. Smith enters Week 7 against the Atlanta Falcons as the QB7 in fantasy. He has thrown for at least 284 yards in every game but one this season and he has thrown for over 300 yards in three of six games. Atlanta is No. 18 against opposing quarterbacks in fantasy so they do not present the biggest challenge. Smith's issue this year has been his lack of touchdown passes. He has only thrown one in each week. The Falcons have hit their stride on offense and should have no issue scoring on a banged-up Seahawks defense. As such, the Seahawks are likely going to have to air it out to keep up in this game. With a full complement of weapons around him, Smith should have no problem reaching his recent heights. He is an excellent streaming option this week, especially with top quarterbacks such as Kyler Murray and Patrick Mahomes struggling in fantasy in 2024.

Green Bay Packers tight end Tucker Kraft (groin) came off the Packers' final injury report after turning in three limited practices and is good to go as Green Bay takes on the Houston Texans in Week 7. After two consecutive overall TE1 performances in Weeks 4-5, Kraft came back down to earth with just two receptions for 13 yards in the Packers' win over the Cardinals. Kraft's down game had to do with the returning options back for the Packers, as Romeo Doubs and Christian Watson both came back to combine for three touchdowns. With so many weapons in tow for the Packers, Kraft's floor may be a bit lower than we'd like, but those two weeks where he was overall TE1 show the potential when he is targeted. Because of how shallow tight end is in fantasy, Kraft is a low-end TE1 against the Texans this week.

The Washington Commanders defense had a tough time containing the reigning MVP Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry last weekend but has an excellent opportunity to bounce back against the Carolina Panthers. During Weeks 4 and 5, the Commanders allowed under 20 points in each game and recorded 11 sacks during this span. The Carolina Panthers offense has generated a mere 298.5 yards per game, which is the ninth-lowest mark in the sport, and holds the fifth-lowest point total at 17.2 points per game. The Commanders will be without their star defensive lineman, Jonathan Allen, as he underwent season-ending surgery for a torn pectoral muscle, but the unit should not face much trouble against a struggling Carolina team. The Commanders should be viewed as a low-end streaming option in deeper formats.

Washington Commanders running back Jeremy McNichols could see an increased role if Brian Robinson Jr. (knee) misses his second-straight game. McNichols served as the No. 2 running back last weekend but registered only two carries for nine yards. However, in the previous two weeks, McNichols tallied 112 rushing yards with three scores. While the 28-year-old only saw the field when the Commanders had a sizable lead, this could happen again this weekend, facing a weak Carolina team. DFS players looking for a high-risk, high-reward option or redraft managers needing a desperation flex option should consider putting McNichols in their lineup as the Commanders could have a comfortable lead in the second half, opening the door for him to see opportunities late in the game.

The Seattle Seahawks D/ST is at risk of scoring negative points in Week 7 against a potent Atlanta Falcons offense. While it sounds like the Seahawks will have defensive tackle Byron Murphy II (hamstring) back this weekend, they are still down several key starters and just placed safety Rayshawn Jenkins (hand) on injured reserve. After opening the season with three straight fantasy-relevant games, the unit has faltered. The Falcons' offense has found its footing with Kirk Cousins under center. They have scored at least 36 points in two straight games after scoring 26 or less in each of the previous four games. The Seahawks have defensive genius Mike Macdonald at the helm so they could turn things around, but they will need to get healthy first. As such, this is not the week to insert them into your lineup.

Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin found the end zone twice on six receptions last weekend and remains a low-end WR1 heading into Week 7. Last weekend, McLaurin eclipsed 15.0 PPR points for the fourth straight week and has put his slow start way behind him. During this span, McLaurin has scored four touchdowns and averaged 79.3 yards with 5.3 receptions in each game. Facing a Carolina secondary that has allowed the 22nd-most points to opposing wideouts makes McLaurin a "set-it and forget-it" option this week.

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf has finished as WR50 and WR51 in the last two weeks respectively. After going on a three-game heater, Metcalf has been pretty disappointing for fantasy managers of late. However, fantasy managers should not be worried. Metcalf has earned 18 targets over the last two weeks and has had multiple near-misses with touchdowns. Additionally, quarterback Geno Smith has been unlucky in the touchdown department. Smith leads the league in passing yards but has only thrown exactly one touchdown in every game this season. If the touchdowns start to flow for Smith, then there is no doubt that Metcalf will be a huge beneficiary. This game should result in a lot of points for both sides. If the Seahawks want to remain in this game, then there is no doubt that they will have to score touchdowns. Look for Smith to throw multiple touchdowns in this game and for Metcalf to catch at least one.

Washington Commanders wide receiver Noah Brown enjoyed a nice bounce-back outing last weekend after sitting out in Week 5 and remains a low-end flex option in deeper formats. After missing Week 5 with a groin injury, Brown responded in a big way as he saw a team-high eight targets and brought in four of them for 58 yards. Brown has caught at least three passes in every game he has played this season and has solidified himself as the No.2 option opposite of Terry McLaurin. Brown remains a high-risk, high-reward option in DFS and a low-end flex option in deeper formats this weekend, but could enjoy a breakout game facing a weak Carolina secondary.

Washington Commanders tight end Zach Ertz led the Washington pass catchers in yards last weekend and should continue to be viewed as a low-end TE1. After scoring just 5.2 and 3.0 PPR points during Weeks 4 and 5, the veteran tight end got back on track in Baltimore and eclipsed double-digit points for the second time this season with 68 total yards. Ertz has been a safety valve for rookie QB Jayden Daniels but has taken the backseat on some occasions as Daniels has begun to push the ball downfield more often to his receivers. Nonetheless, given his offensive situation and matchup against the Carolina Panthers, who have allowed the 25th-most points to opposing tight ends, Ertz sets up as a high-floor TE1 option.

Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels has another favorable matchup this weekend and should be locked into all lineups as a high-end QB1. Despite seeing his winning streak snapped last weekend in Baltimore, Daniels threw for a season-high 269 yards with two scores en route to scoring 23.7 PPR points. This weekend, he faces the Carolina Panthers, who have allowed the 19th-most PPR points to opposing quarterbacks. Daniels should provide a high floor with his rushing ability and elite upside with his increasing progression as a passer.

Seattle Seahawks kicker Jason Myers has had a relatively safe floor in 2024 due to the Seahawks' ability to move the ball down the field. He has remained relatively accurate, but he has not reached the double-digit fantasy heights since Week 2. That could change in Week 7 when the Seahawks visit the Atlanta Falcons. While the Falcons defense is solid, they have been susceptible to opposing offenses putting up big numbers. The Seahawks should have no issue moving the ball. The only thing that may slow down Myers' fantasy production is that he may be kicking a lot of extra points rather than field goals. If you have a kicker such as Brandon Aubrey on bye this week, you could do worse than Myers in your lineup.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed (ankle) turned in three limited practice sessions this week and was removed from the Packers' injury report for Week 7 as Green Bay hosts the Houston Texans. Reed has been a volatile fantasy option but has turned in 5-of-6 games with double-digit fantasy points, including an overall WR1 and WR2 finish. Big plays are Reed's specialty, but he's mixed in some target earning as well with at least six targets in 5-of-6 games this season. Reed has been used deep and at the line of scrimmage, as evidence by his average depth of target (aDOT) in Week 5 (12.7 yards) and his aDOT from Week 6 (-1.8 yards) where he was used more as a short-area target. No matter how he's used, Reed has been incredibly productive this season and will be a key piece of the puzzle when the Packers battle the Texans. Consider Reed a low-end fantasy WR1 with overall WR1 upside in this Week 7 clash.

Washington Commanders running back Austin Ekeler could lead the backfield again, with Brian Robinson Jr. (knee) listed as questionable. Ekeler sat atop the depth chart last weekend but had trouble against the Ravens, as he ran for just 21 yards on nine carries. However, he should face a much easier task against the Carolina Panthers, who have allowed the most PPR points to opposing running backs. Ekeler should be viewed as a high-end RB2 if Robinson sits out for the second straight week. If Robinson does suit up, Ekeler should be projected for his typical flex role in PPR leagues.

Buffalo Bills running back James Cook (toe) logged full practices on Thursday and Friday and doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's matchup against the Tennessee Titans. The toe issue forced Cook to sit out Monday's game against the Jets. He'll step right back into the starting lineup and may not have to worry about Ray Davis (calf) taking away touches. The rookie is questionable following his big game with Cook inactive. The Titans' defense is better against the pass than the ground game. Plus, offensive coordinator Joe Brady appears committed to the run no matter which running back gets the carries. Cook should be locked into fantasy football lineups this weekend.

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs has been solid, yet unspectacular this season. He will get another opportunity to get into the scoring column as the Packers host the Houston Texans in Week 7. Jacobs has gotten the lion's share of opportunity as the top rusher in Green Bay but has parlayed that into just one top-12 fantasy week in six games. He's been a high-floor, low-ceiling option at running back and has just one touchdown to his credit in Week 5 against the Rams. With both offenses stacked with options, it could be the running backs, namely Jacobs, that turn the tide and become the difference as the Texans have allowed the fourth-most yards after contact per attempt and Jacobs has been solid (29th of 61 qualified backs) in that regard. Look for Jacobs to be on that low-end RB/high-end RB2 line in Week 7 for fantasy purposes.

Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard faces the Buffalo Bills in Week 7 of the 2024 NFL season. The former Memphis star has been one of the more consistent options at the running back position in fantasy thus far, ranking top-10 in consistency despite not having eclipsed the 20-point mark once this year. He's averaging a hair under 20 opportunities per game and now takes on a Buffalo rush defense that is routinely gashed on a weekly basis. The Bills rank 31st in yards per carry allowed and points conceded to running backs through six weeks. With Pollard being the only effective weapon the Titans have on offense at the moment and Tyjae Spears ruled out, he should see a huge workload as a top-12 option this week. Start him with confidence.

Buffalo Bills kicker Tyler Bass is 9-for-12 on field goals and 18-for-20 on extra points this season. His struggles were on full display during Monday Night Football when he missed a field goal and an extra point. The Bills signed Lucas Havrisik to their practice squad, intending to create competition for Bass. If he continues to whiff on his attempts, he may not be kicking for Buffalo next week. For fantasy football purposes, there are no concerns with the matchup against Tennessee, but fantasy managers may opt to start a more reliable kicker in Week 7.

Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love looks to keep his strong run of fantasy production going as the Packers host the Houston Texans in Week 7. Since returning to the Packers' lineup in Week 5, Love has had two QB3-or-better performances under his belt and has tossed multiple touchdown passes in every game he's played this season. With the Texans being a bit of a pass-funnel defense, Love should have plenty of time to connect with his pass-catching weapons and get some volume as well. With both offenses having the potential for plenty of passing, Love should be considered among the top handful of fantasy options at the position heading into Week 7.
