New York Giants tight end Theo Johnson will look to make an impact in Week 7 against the Philadelphia Eagles after recording 30 yards on three catches in Week 6 against the Bengals. Johnson has struggled to find consistent fantasy relevance this season, with 11 receptions for 115 yards and no touchdowns, averaging just 2.83 fantasy points per game. He faces a tough matchup against an Eagles defense that ranks 2nd against tight ends, allowing just 6.24 points per game. While the Eagles pass defense is vulnerable overall, ranking 20th in yards allowed, Johnson will need to capitalize on limited opportunities, as Philadelphia has only given up seven passing touchdowns all season.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins missed the first two games of the 2024-25 campaign. He returned for the Week 3 matchup with the Commanders, although he had just three catches. Since then, the wideout has received routine attention from Joe Burrow, amassing at least six receptions in each of his last three games. He also found the end zone twice in the Week 5 loss to the Ravens. With the Browns on tap for Week 7, Higgins and company will look to pick up their second consecutive win. While Higgins hasn't played the greatest versus Cleveland over the years, the Browns defense has struggled against opposing receivers this season, making him a must-start in any fantasy setup.

Cincinnati Bengals running back Zack Moss entered the Week 6 meeting with the New York Giants battling an ankle injury. As a result, the 26-year-old had only six carries for 13 yards. He also played fewer snaps than Chase Brown for the first time this season. While it appears Brown is now Cincinnati's lead rusher out of the backfield, Moss remains at least a flex option for the Week 7 AFC North clash with the Cleveland Browns. However, if he doesn't turn it around on Sunday, fantasy managers may have to reconsider his spot in the starting lineup moving ahead.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase had a slow start to the 2024-25 campaign. However, he found the end zone five times in the three games leading up to the Week 6 victory over the Giants. Although the wideout had only five catches for 72 yards in that one, things could have been worse. He will look to get on track versus Cleveland on Sunday. Unfortunately for fantasy managers, Chase has struggled against the Browns throughout his career, amassing 27 grabs for 252 yards and a touchdown (five games). Still, he's one of the best receivers in the National Football League, so he must be featured in all fantasy lineups in Week 7.

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones will look to bounce back in Week 7 against the Philadelphia Eagles after a tough Week 6 outing where he managed just 205 yards, no touchdowns, and an interception against the Bengals. Jones has struggled this season, with only six passing touchdowns and a 62.1% completion rate. However, Malik Nabers' return should spark the Giants' offense. The Eagles' defense is vulnerable against the pass, ranking 21st and allowing 218.4 yards per game, but they've given up just seven passing touchdowns. Jones must elevate his play, as the Eagles allow 15.86 fantasy points per game to quarterbacks, slightly below his season average of 16.59 FPPG.

Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown had a rough start to the 2024-25 campaign. However, the 24-year-old has turned up the volume of late, finding the end zone at least once in each of his last three games. He also logged more snaps than Zack Moss for the first time this season in the Week 6 win over the New York Giants. Granted, Moss was likely more banged up than Brown entering that contest, which could explain the shift in opportunities out of the backfield. Still, even if Moss gets more touches in Week 7 against Cleveland, Brown is still a flex option, at the very least.

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow has been a top fantasy signal-caller this season. Unfortunately, his success hasn't resulted in a winning record for Cincinnati. But with the Bengals picking up their second win of the 2024-25 campaign by beating the Giants in Week 6, Burrow will look to lead his squad to another victory over the Browns. The 2020 No. 1 overall pick hasn't played the best against Cleveland throughout his career, throwing 1,557 yards, 10 touchdowns, and five interceptions in six meetings versus the Browns. He also completed just 63.6% of his attempts. However, with Burrow's production this season, there's no way fantasy managers can justify keeping him out of their lineups in Week 7. Keep him starting.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receivers Ladd McConkey (hip) and D.J. Chark (groin) were both limited practice participants for the second time this week on Friday. With wideout Quentin Johnston (ankle) and tight end Hayden Hurst (groin) both listed as DNP, Los Angeles will hope to have at least one of Chark Jr. and McConkey ready for their Monday Night Football matchup against the Arizona Cardinals. The former returned to practice this week for the first time since being designated for injured reserve before the season opener and looks to taste his first action of 2024. The latter briefly exited the team's Week 6 win over the Denver Broncos with a head injury, but the hip ailment is new and must be monitored. Wide receiver Simi Fehoko returned to full practice and would be in line for an uptick in snaps if Chark Jr., McConkey, and Johnston cannot play. Also, Brenden Rice and Derius Davis would work behind Joshua Palmer in the matchup.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Quentin Johnston (ankle) was tagged with a second DNP ahead of the team's Week 7 road matchup against the Arizona Cardinals. Tight end Hayden Hurst (groin) was also a back-to-back DNP. The 23-year-old WR picked up an ankle injury in the Chargers' Week 6 victory over the Denver Broncos and did not return to the contest. With fellow wideouts Ladd McConkey (hip) and D.J. Chark Jr. (groin) logging limited sessions thus far, Los Angeles could be looking at a severely depleted wide-receiving corps on Monday Night Football. Simi Fehoko, Joshua Palmer, Brenden Rice, and Derius Davis are the only active receivers without a designation

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White (foot) was a limited practice participant for the second day in a row ahead of the team's Monday night matchup against the Baltimore Ravens. The third-year back sustained a foot injury in Tampa Bay's Week 5 loss to their division-rival Atlanta Falcons when a defender used an outlawed means to bring him to the turf (hip-drop-tackle). The limited sessions are an upgrade from the DNP designation he garnered last week, but his status for Monday Night Football is uncertain. If White can't play, backfield mates Bucky Irving and Sean Tucker will again split the Bucs' RB touches. Still, upon his return, the former Sun Devil will be a part of a three-man RBBC that evolved into a "hot-hand" situation while he was out for Week 6.

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins came back to Earth in Week 6, completing 19 passes for 225 yards, one touchdown, and no interceptions on 30 attempts as the team went with more of a balanced attack. It marked the fourth time in six games that the 36-year-old threw for one TD or fewer, finishing outside the top 20 at the position for the week. Week 7's matchup with the Seahawks has shootout potential with 51 projected total points and the Falcons as only slim favorites on their home turf, which bodes well for the veteran signal caller's chances of putting up solid fantasy numbers, however, we should see more of a balanced attack again with Seattle looking particularly vulnerable against the run in recent weeks. Still, with the positive game script that is expected, the Michigan State product projects as a high-end QB2.

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Michael Wilson (ankle) was listed as limited for a second straight practice. The Stanford product caught 2-of-4 targets for 21 yards and a touchdown in last weekend's loss to the Packers, participating on 95% (55) of the team's snaps. It's unknown when he picked up the ankle injury, but it's a boon to his status on Monday night that he's been at least limited to start the week. If Wilson can suit up, he would be in store for a busy day if rookie wideout Marvin Harrison Jr. (concussion) does not clear the league's protocol. However, the fourth-overall pick was able to ditch his non-contact jersey in Friday's practice, suggesting he's progressing through his recovery. Arizona's final practice report of the week will be one to monitor. If both wideouts are unavailable, Zay Jones, Greg Dortch, and Xavier Weaver will be in line for an uptick in snaps, with tight end Trey McBride likely the biggest benefactor of the depleted target competition.

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott will go on the road to take on the division-rival New York Giants in Week 7. The veteran has started the season slow, missing both his tries from more than 50 yards and converting just six field goals all year. The Eagles' aggressive offense in plus territory has stifled Elliott's fantasy managers at every turn so far this season, but because the offense can find its way into scoring territory often, he remains on the streaming radar in plus matchups. With the Giants ranking middle of the pack against fantasy kickers this season, Elliott should be considered a boom or bust streamer in Week 7.

Houston Texans wide receiver Robert Woods (foot) has been ruled out for the team's Week 7 matchup against the Green Bay Packers. It's no surprise to see Woods designated as inactive as he has yet to practice since injuring his foot during a punt return in the team's 23-20 win over the Buffalo Bills. The 32-year-old was expected to compete for snaps in the absence of wideout Nico Collins (hamstring), but Houston will now roll into Sunday's outing down two pass-catching weapons. With them unavailable, the primary wideouts for quarterback C.J. Stroud are projected to be Stefon Diggs, Tank Dell, and Xavier Hutchinson, with John Metchie III and Steven Sims mixing in.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith will go on the road and face the rival New York Giants in Week 7. The 25-year-old saw his lowest target share of the season last week against the Cleveland Browns but turned four targets into three receptions for 64 yards and a long touchdown grab. The return of A.J. Brown from a hamstring injury that he suffered in Week 1 played a role in Smith seeing fewer targets, but with starting tight end Dallas Goedert (hamstring) now ruled out, the former Heisman winner should see an increase in usage this week. The Giants are middle of the pack in fantasy points allowed to wide receivers but will have their hands full stopping Brown and their former starting back Saquon Barkley. Consider Smith a high-end WR2 in Week 7.

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Grant Calcaterra will go on the road to take on the division-rival New York Giants in Week 7. The 25-year-old solidified himself as the No. 2 tight end on the depth chart this past offseason and has had some involvement even with Dallas Goedert (hamstring) on the field. However, with Goedert out this week, and potentially many more, the third-year tight end is in line to start for the first time in his career. The matchup could be better, as the Giants allow the eight-fewest fantasy points per game to the position. With that said, quarterback Jalen Hurts has almost always involved his tight end, even when Jack Stoll was the backup last season. Calcaterra has a shot to see five or more targets this week and is a streaming option for those struggling to find consistency at the position.

Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley returns home to face the team that made him a first-round draft selection in 2018, the New York Giants, in Week 7. The 27-year-old will look to keep his strong season rolling against his former team, who currently allow the 11th fewest fantasy points per game to running backs through six weeks. Barkley posted a season-low 54 total yards last week against the Cleveland Browns, but he still amassed 20 opportunities and will assuredly be given a strong workload against his former squad. While expectations may need to be managed due to the matchup, fantasy managers should have no worries firing up the former Giants starting back in this "revenge game".

From RotoBaller

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown will go on the road to take on the division-rival New York Giants in Week 7. The 27-year-old returned to the field for the first time since injuring his hamstring in Week 1 last week against the Browns and proceeded to gain 116 yards on six receptions and score a touchdown. It was a complete return to form for Brown and he will look to parlay that success into another big performance against the Giants, who are close to the middle of the pack in fantasy points allowed to the position. With starting tight end Dallas Goedert (hamstring) ruled out, the ball could be force-fed even more to the star receiver this weekend, and he should be considered a must-start in all formats.

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts will go on the road to take on the division rival New York Giants in Week 7. The 26-year-old looked much better last week coming out of the bye week and getting back his top two receivers, tallying 297 yards, two touchdowns, and most importantly zero turnovers. The Eagles offense currently has injuries to deal with as star left tackle Jordan Mailata (hamstring) and starting tight end Dallas Goedert (hamstring) are out this week with the former being placed on injured reserve. This is unfortunate for Hurts but does not move the needle much on his fantasy value overall. The Giants' defense has been solid this season for fantasy purposes, but the most points they give up go to the quarterback position, where they rank 13th in fantasy points allowed. After a strong showing last week, fantasy managers can fire up the Eagles starter with confidence as a top-five option at the position in Week 7.

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba enters the Seahawks' Week 7 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons coming off of three straight games with double-digit fantasy points. While that is nothing to write home about, he has earned 28 targets over that time span. Smith-Njigba's target volume has been huge as the Seahawks have to throw to keep up in games. Fellow wide receiver DK Metcalf is entrenched as the No. 1 option in this offense and Tyler Lockett continues to play a possession role. Given the Seahawks' passing volume, there is room for another player to step into a huge role alongside Metcalf. With Smith-Njigba receiving ridiculous target volume, it feels like it is only a matter of time before that translates to great fantasy success. This Week 7 matchup against the Falcons is not scary. Atlanta is No. 21 against opposing wide receivers in fantasy in 2024. This game should be a high-scoring affair giving Smith-Njigba a safe floor and a potentially high ceiling.
