Lamar Jackson Tosses Five Touchdowns In Win

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson has now won the QB1 versus QB2 duel two weeks in a row after leading the team to a 41-31 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. In this shootout, Jackson finished with 281 yards and five touchdowns while throwing 17-for-22 and adding 52 yards on nine carries. The two-time MVP picked apart Tampa Bay's defense with a variety of short, medium, and deep passes all for touchdowns. Jackson and company will travel to Cleveland for another AFC North matchup in Week 8 looking for their sixth consecutive win.

Lamar Jackson Remains An Elite Option In Week 7

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson won the battle of the top two fantasy QBs in Week 6, so now he shifts his sights to the new QB2 in Baker Mayfield. Jackson still sits atop the QB ladder in fantasy football while the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have given up the second-most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks. Over the Buccaneers' last three games, the total score between both teams has been 78, 66, and 49. With the Ravens' defense giving up big passing games, this game should turn into a shootout quickly. That means Jackson could have a huge game on the way in Week 7.

Lamar Jackson Gathers 363 All-Purpose Yards

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson may not have lit up the fantasy scoreboard like he did the past few weeks, but he moved the offense enough for a 30-23 win over the Washington Commanders. The two-time MVP finished the game with 323 yards, one touchdown, and one interception on 20-for-26 throwing while adding 40 yards on the ground with 11 carries. This game marks his second 300-passing-yard game in a row and his fourth in a row with a passer rating of 114 or higher. Jackson and the Ravens will get an extra day of rest as they take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Monday night in Week 7.

Derrick Henry Gathers 182 All-Purpose Yards

Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry not only produced a big game but also kept his scoring streak alive with a late touchdown catch. In the 41-31 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Henry registered 169 yards on 15 carries with one reception for 13 yards and a touchdown on his only target. His longest run of the night was an 81-yard sprint down the sideline where he was caught just before getting into the end zone. Regardless, Henry continues to dominate while he separated himself even further as the RB1 this year. He'll go up against the Cleveland Browns in Week 8.

Derrick Henry Holds RB1 Value Again In Week 7

Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry remains at RB1 this season in half-PPR and standard formats. The veteran has returned to his dominant ways this year as he leads the league in rushing yards, 20+ yard runs, and rushing touchdowns. In Week 7, the Ravens take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers who have scored points with ease for most of this season. This game may turn into a shootout, but Henry should still see plenty of opportunities at the beginning of the game at least. Enough to keep him at RB1 level this week and make him a must-start.

Derrick Henry Pushes Scoring Streak To Six Consecutive Games

Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry registered yet another big day in the 30-23 win over the Washington Commanders. The King scored two more touchdowns along with 132 yards on 24 carries. With those two touchdowns, he continues his streak of scoring in each game so far to start the season. Technically the streak stretches back to his last game with the Titans making it seven consecutive. Henry has gained 100 or more yards rushing in three of the last four games as well. His next chance to continue his touchdown streak will be Monday night in Week 7 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Joe Burrow Leads The Bengals To Another Win

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow threw for 181 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's win over the Cleveland Browns. The signal-caller was relatively quiet in the Week 6 win over the New York Giants. However, things were different in Week 7, with Burrow completing his fifth game this season with at least two touchdown passes. He's been one of the top fantasy quarterbacks all year, so there's no reason why he shouldn't be featured in fantasy lineups in Week 8 versus the Philadelphia Eagles.

Joe Burrow Hoping To Keep Cincinnati On The Winning Path

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.

Joe Burrow Leads The Bengals To Another Win

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow threw for 208 yards in Sunday's win over the New York Giants. The signal-caller didn't do much as a passer. However, he got it done on the ground by amassing 55 yards, although most of that was off a 47-yard scramble in the first quarter for a score. After a five-touchdown outing against the Ravens, Burrow was quiet in Week 6, with the defense doing most of the heavy lifting. At any rate, the Bengals will look to keep it going in a Week 7 matchup with the Cleveland Browns. Burrow remains a must-start for that one.

Geno Smith Finally Throws For Multiple Touchdown Passes

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith finally threw for more than one touchdown in a game in Sunday's win over the Atlanta Falcons. The Seahawks dominated this game from the second quarter on. Smith finished the game with 207 passing yards and two touchdowns. Most importantly, Smith avoided throwing interceptions after throwing five in his previous four games. The game was encouraging for fantasy managers. Smith had been a solid streaming option for much of the season, however, it felt like there were a lot of plays left on the field. Week 7 helped change that narrative as the Seahawks' offense and defense worked in conjunction on the way to a great win. Hopefully, Smith can keep this momentum rolling in Week 8 against the Buffalo Bills.

Geno Smith With A Great Chance To Exceed 300 Passing Yards In Week 7

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.

Geno Smith Throws Two Interceptions On Thursday Night Football

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith had a rough outing on Thursday against the San Francisco 49ers. Smith threw for 312 yards and continued his 2024 trend of throwing for exactly one touchdown. However, he threw two costly interceptions as the Seahawks were unable to keep pace with a 49ers team that was opportunistic on turnovers throughout the game. The outing was disappointing for Smith as he was coming off two straight games with at least 22.56 fantasy points. However, Smith has now thrown for at least 312 yards in three of six games in 2024. At some point, the touchdown numbers should increase. Unfortunately, the Seahawks find themselves in a rut as they have lost three straight games. Smith often plays better when the Seahawks can play with a lead, which has not been the case lately. Hopefully, Smith can get back on track in Week 7 against the Atlanta Falcons.

Alvin Kamara Playing Through Broken Hand

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (hand) revealed on Wednesday that he suffered a broken hand in the Week 5 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. That's also the same game that quarterback Derek Carr suffered an oblique injury that will cause him to miss a third straight game in Week 8 against the Los Angeles Chargers. Kamara has played the last two games with his hand injury, but the Saints offense has cratered with Carr out, and Kamara has 20 carries for 50 yards (2.50 yards per carry) and a touchdown on the ground during that span. Things won't get any easier for the 29-year-old, who ranks second behind Derrick Henry this year in overall fantasy points for RBs, going into a matchup this Sunday against the Chargers. Kamara has fallen to RB2 territory in fantasy.UPDATE: Kamara was listed as limited in Wednesday's practice with his hand injury, in addition to a rib ailment.

Alvin Kamara Agrees To Two-Year Extension With Saints

The New Orleans Saints and running back Alvin Kamara agreed to a two-year, $24.5 million contract extension on Tuesday that puts him under contract through the 2026 season, according to sources. The deal was confirmed by Kamara's agent, Brad Cicala, and puts the 2017 third-round selection in a spot to retire with the organization. The five-time Pro Bowler had a career-low 694 rushing yards for the Saints in 2023, but he bounced back 362 rushing yards and five rushing touchdowns on 80 carries in the first four games of 2024 before struggling the last three games. Kamara could continue to struggle on the ground as long as quarterback Derek Carr (oblique) remains out, but predictions of his demise after last season so far have proven unfounded. The 29-year-old trails only Derrick Henry in overall half-PPR fantasy points heading into Week 8.

Alvin Kamara Denies Requesting A Trade

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara is denying that he has requested a trade. "I ain request a trade.. so that's a lie. I'm in an orange robe on the way to Knoxville.. #WhoDat," Kamara wrote on his X account. Rumors may be swirling that Kamara is unhappy in New Orleans after five straight losses, most recently a 33-10 beatdown at the hands of the Denver Broncos on Thursday night. The 29-year-old got off to a blazing start in 2024 with 80 rushing attempts for 362 yards (4.53 yards per tote) and five rushing touchdowns in the first four weeks, adding 17 catches for 174 yards and another score. But in three games since then, he has 76 yards on 31 carries for one touchdown and has caught 17 passes for 78 yards. It hasn't helped that QB Derek Carr (oblique) has missed the last two games. Kamara should improve once Carr returns, but that may not be for another week or so.

Ja'Marr Chase Scores Again On Sunday

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase had five catches for 55 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's win over the Browns. The former LSU Tiger was relatively quiet in Week 6 against the Giants. While Tee Higgins was more productive in this one, Chase still found the end zone for the sixth time in the Bengals' previous five contests. With Cincinnati picking up another win, the team will look to get to .500 with a win over the Eagles in Week 8. Fortunately for fantasy managers, the Eagles have struggled to stop opposing wideouts this season, making Chase one of the top fantasy options.

Ja'Marr Chase Looking To Turn Things Around In Week 7

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.

Ja'Marr Chase Cools Off In Week 6

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase had five catches for 72 yards in Sunday's win over the New York Giants. The 24-year-old had five touchdowns in the three previous games leading up to Week 6. He also had 10 catches for 193 yards in the overtime loss to the Ravens. However, Chase wasn't as productive on Sunday night. Of course, he's still one of the best wideouts in the league, so he remains a must-start in Week 7 against the Browns.

Jalen Hurts Tallies Three Touchdowns In Low Volume Passing Win

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts completed 10 of 14 pass attempts for 114 yards and a touchdown, adding 22 yards on seven carries with two successful Brotherly Shove touchdown runs during the team's 28-3 win over the New York Giants. While the offense failed to score in the first quarter for the sixth time, Hurts ripped off a ton of scoring on efficient low passing numbers to lead to a great fantasy performance. The Eagles leaned heavily on Saquon Barkley in this game, rightfully so, leading to Hurts throwing just 10 completions. However, he scored three times and will finish the week as a top-five fantasy quarterback. Most importantly, the 26-year-old has his second straight game with zero turnovers, and that was while being sacked five times. It is nice to see Hurts score as much as he did while passing fewer than 15 times, and he will continue to be a must-start next week when a suddenly alive Eagles offense takes on the Bengals in Cincinnati.

Jalen Hurts A Top-Five Option Against Rival Giants

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.

Jalen Hurts Throws Two Touchdowns In Win Over Cleveland

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts completed 16 of 25 passes for 264 yards and two touchdowns, adding 14 carries for 33 yards during the team's 20-16 win over the Cleveland Browns. With both of his top weapons back at full strength, the 26-year-old had a much better outing than his previous three showings. The offense was still a bit slow to start, but Hurts was able to lead the Eagles on a scoring drive in the early second quarter and was able to hit A.J. Brown in the endzone on a drive soon after. Perhaps even more important than the solid passing total was his zero in the turnover department. Hurts has struggled with turning the ball over in 2024, but held onto the ball this week and completed some tough throws through tight coverage, especially to star receiver A.J. Brown. The Eagles signal caller did lose starting tight end Dallas Goedert (hamstring) on the first drive of this game and could be without him for a few weeks. With that said, Grant Calcaterra stepped in and showed off his explosiveness a few times against Cleveland, so there are capable hands ready to fill in for the veteran. Hurts will go on the road to face the division-rival New York Giants in Week 7 and should be considered a high-end QB1 in that matchup.

Packers Hold C.J. Stroud To Season-Low Yardage

Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud was held in check during a 24-22 loss at Green Bay, compiling a season-low 86 yards on 10-for-21 passing with no touchdowns or interceptions. He also added 19 yards rushing on five attempts. The second-year quarterback was sacked four times and saw nearly a third of his passing yards on one play, a 28-yard completion to tight end Dalton Schultz. It was an all-around frustrating day for the Houston offense, which was held without a passing touchdown for the first time this season. Stroud and the Texans will look for better in Week 8 against Indianapolis.

C.J. Stroud Still In QB1 Territory At Packers

Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud enters a Week 7 matchup against Green Bay as a steady QB1 in one of the NFL's top offenses. The Ohio State product has established a nice fantasy floor five out of six top-15 finishes at his position but so far, he's only cracked the top five once. This matchup is an intriguing one, as the Packers rank 26th in blitz rate, air yards allowed, and average depth of target. Where Green Bay excels is taking away the ball. The Packers have forced turnovers on 24% of opposing possessions, which is the best rate in the league. Whether Stroud and the Texans can score another big offensive day likely will depend on how well they take care of the ball against a fellow contender on the road.

C.J. Stroud Tosses Three Touchdowns Against Patriots

Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud completed 20 of his 31 attempts for 192 yards, three touchdowns, and one interception in a 41-21 victory on Sunday against the New England Patriots. Last year's Offensive Rookie of the Year tossed first-quarter touchdowns to wide receiver Tank Dell and running back Joe Mixon, the first receiving scores of the season for both players, and found wide receiver Stefon Diggs for another touchdown in the third quarter. It was another efficient outing for Stroud, who has spurred a talented offense to a 5-1 start. The second-year quarterback will look to keep the momentum going in Week 7 at Green Bay.

Jared Goff's Efficiency Leads Lions To Another Victory In Week 7 Thriller

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff delivered another strong performance in Week 7, helping lead the team to a 31-29 victory over the Minnesota Vikings. Goff was highly efficient, completing 22 of 25 passes for an 88% completion rate, accumulating 280 yards and two touchdowns. His accuracy and decision-making were on full display, keeping the Lions' offense moving throughout the game. Goff's impressive outing earned him a Top-5 fantasy QB finish for the week going into Sunday night, reinforcing his status as a reliable starter. The Lions will focus on a home matchup against the Tennessee Titans as Goff is a low-end QB1 heading into Week 8.

Jared Goff Shines With Top-Five Fantasy QB Finish In Week 6

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff delivered a dominant fantasy performance in Week 6, finishing as a top-five QB. Goff was highly efficient, completing 18 of 25 passes for an impressive 315 yards and three touchdowns while rushing for five yards on three attempts in Detroit's 47-9 blowout victory over the Dallas Cowboys. This strong outing highlighted Goff's continued effectiveness and secured a high output for fantasy managers this week. His performance placed him as a top-five fantasy quarterback in Week 6, showcasing his consistency as a reliable starter. Goff's connection with key receivers helped power the Lions' offense in their most decisive win of the season. Fantasy managers can look forward to Goff's potential for similar performances in favorable matchups moving forward. The 30-year-old is a high-end QB2 in a tough matchup against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 7.

Jordan Love’s Three Touchdowns Fuel Packers’ Win in Week 7

Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love tossed three touchdown scores for most of the Packers' scoring on the afternoon as the team edged the Texans 24-22 in Week 7. Love had an up-and-down game with 24 of 33 passing for 220 yards with three touchdown passes and two interceptions. A touchdown pass to tight end Tucker Kraft kicked off the scoring on a beautiful diving play. Minutes later, Love found receiver Dontayvion Wicks for a 30-yard touchdown with a perfect touch pass over the top. The final touchdown pass was running back Josh Jacobs' first receiving touchdown of his career, an eight-yard dump-off. Love was very good for fantasy production on the afternoon as he continued his streak of multiple-touchdown games in all five games he has played this season. The Packers head south to Jacksonville to face the Jaguars, where Love will be a locked-in QB1 for that pristine matchup in Week 8.

Jordan Love Is A Top-Five QB 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.

Jordan Love Throws For Four Scores In Packers’ Week 6 Victory

Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love accounted for all four touchdowns as the Packers handily defeated the Arizona Cardinals 34-13 in Week 6. Love tossed four touchdowns and was 22-of-32 for 258 yards while adding 13 rushing yards on the ground. Love got the scoring started with a five-yard touchdown to Jayden Reed in the first quarter, and then got the returning Romeo Doubs involved with a 10-yard touchdown. With a 44-yard strike to Christian Watson and a second touchdown to Doubs in the third quarter, Love was on the money with his wide receivers all day and fantasy managers had to be smiling. With Love's quality outing, there's no doubt that he should be considered anything other than a must-start fantasy option as the Packers stay home to host the incoming Houston Texans in Week 7.

Kirk Cousins Has Three Turnovers In Loss To Seattle

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins completed 24-of-35 passes for 232 yards and a touchdown but turned the ball over three times in a 34-14 loss to the Seahawks on Sunday. Two of the turnovers came via interception and the other was a fumble that turned into a scoop-and-score for the Seahawks. It was the fifth time in seven games that Cousins failed to record two or more touchdown passes and he now has seven picks in as many games. This was supposed to be a favorable matchup with a banged-up Seahawks secondary and Atlanta favored by three points, but instead, it was a lopsided affair that went in Seattle's favor. While it makes Cousins hard to trust as a weekly streaming option, the good news is that the 36-year-old gets the Buccaneers in Week 8, a team he threw for over 500 yards against with four TDs just a few weeks ago, so he'll get an opportunity to bounce back next week.

Kirk Cousins Takes On Seattle In Game With Shootout Potential

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.

Kirk Cousins Hands It Off To The Ground Game In Week 6

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins completed 19 of his 30 pass attempts in Sunday's 38-20 victory over the Panthers. The 36-year-old tallied 225 pass yards and threw just one touchdown pass, as it was the ground game that took over in this one with Bijan Robinson and Tyler Allgeier combining for 200 yards rushing and three TDs. Outside of his monster Week 5 performance, the veteran QB has been fairly pedestrian for fantasy, with only two multi-touchdown performances in six games, while Sunday marked just the second time this season that he didn't throw an interception. Next week's potentially high-scoring home date with Seattle makes him a viable streaming option though, and assuming the offense keeps progressing he should be at least a high-end QB2 most weeks with upside.

Trevor Lawrence Plays Turnover-Free Football In Week 7 Win

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence completed 15 of 20 passes for 193 yards, one touchdown, and zero interceptions during Sunday's Week 7 win over the New England Patriots. He also rushed for 13 yards and didn't take a single sack. The former No. 1 pick led the Jaguars to their second win over the last three weeks. As much flak as Jacksonville has taken this year, Lawrence has quietly played good, turnover-free football, completing 62.1 percent of his passes for 1,527 yards, 10 touchdowns, and three interceptions. He'll rank as a mid-to-low QB2 when the Jaguars return stateside to face the Green Bay Packers in Week 8.

Trevor Lawrence Trending Upward In Week 7

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence will look to continue his positive momentum against the New England Patriots in Week 7. The Jaguars will play in London for the second consecutive week and are looking to bounce back from their beatdown from the Chicago Bears in Week 6. The Patriots defense has been much worse than Chicago's this season, meaning Lawrence can easily improve on last week's 234 yards and two touchdowns on 23 completions. The former top pick doesn't have a ton of upside but makes for a decent streaming option this week. He seems like at least a solid QB2 and based on the matchup, a potential low-end QB1. With all his receiving weapons finally healthy, Lawrence has a good chance to continue his solid play from a fantasy perspective in Week 7.

Trevor Lawrence Throws Two Touchdowns In Loss To Bears

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence registered another QB2-level performance during the 35-16 loss to the Chicago Bears in London. The 25-year-old continues to struggle as the team fell to 1-5 on the year. He ended this game with 234 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception on 23-for-35 throwing. He added four carries for 17 yards and was sacked three times. The silver lining is that he has thrown for at least two touchdowns in each of the last three games, but the offense continues to sputter as they average just 18.8 points per game. He'll try to right the ship against the New England Patriots in another London game in Week 7.

George Kittle A DNP On Wednesday

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (foot) did not practice on Wednesday. Kittle has a sprained foot and is considered day-to-day. Veterans with various ailments are often permitted a day off on Wednesdays so Kittle's practice participation will need to be monitored as the weekend approaches. With the 49ers nursing several injuries, they will need all hands on deck. Kittle has been awesome in 2024. He currently sits as the TE2 with 375 receiving yards and five touchdowns. Despite the 49ers' ups and downs this season, Kittle is still on his way to a monster season. The 49ers play the Dallas Cowboys in Week 8 in what should be a high-scoring affair. With so many weapons down for the 49ers, Kittle may literally be the last man standing. Presuming he is able to suit up this weekend, Kittle should be a smash start once again.

George Kittle Day-To-Day With Foot Sprain

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said that tight end George Kittle (foot) is day-to-day due to a foot sprain that he picked up in the Week 7 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. Kittle broke a streak of four straight games with a touchdown but still had six receptions for a season-high 92 yards on Sunday. Receiver Brandon Aiyuk (knee) is out for the year with a torn right ACL and MCL, while receiver Deebo Samuel Sr. (illness) is currently in the hospital with pneumonia. It means that the 31-year-old Kittle could be quarterback Brock Purdy's favorite target once again if he's able to play in Week 8 on Sunday night in a great matchup against a banged-up Dallas Cowboys defense. Fantasy managers will want to keep an eye on Kittle's practice status this week, but if he's able to play on Sunday in primetime, he'll be a must-start, high-end TE1.

George Kittle Leads Team In Receiving Versus KC

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle was the focal point of a struggling 49ers offense during a 28-18 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday at Levi's Stadium. Kittle grabbed six of seven targets for 92 yards -- the receptions and yards being game-highs. San Francisco had little choice but to lean on Kittle after falling to a 14-3 deficit, and seeing Deebo Samuel Sr. (illness) and Brandon Aiyuk (knee) head to the locker room. Kittle has now exceeded projections in five consecutive games, maintaining a stranglehold on the overall TE1 position in fantasy. If Aiyuk has suffered a serious injury as feared, fantasy managers can expect a similar target share for Kittle moving forward. Kittle will be a top play again on Sunday night when the 49ers host the Dallas Cowboys.

Bijan Robinson Racks Up 143 Total Yards And A Score On Sunday

Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson totaled up 24 touches in Sunday's 34-14 loss to the Seahawks, with 21 rushes for 103 yards and a score while adding three catches for 40 yards. The number of rush attempts were a season high and he's now caught at least three passes in six of seven games for Atlanta. The 22-year-old flashed his big play ability with a 26-yard rush and a 26-yard catch-and-run, finishing the week within the top 12 at the position in fantasy. Fantasy managers will appreciate the added workload, but we'll see if it sticks as his previous high in rush attempts this season was just 18. On tap in Week 8 are the Buccaneers who the Falcons have faced once already and it ended up being a pass-heavy game script, with Robinson getting just 12 attempts for 61 yards and three catches for 16.

Bijan Robinson An RB1 Versus Poor Seattle Run Defense

Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson is coming off his best game of the season in Week 6, rushing 15 times for 95 yards and two scores while adding three catches for 10 yards. The second-year pro is averaging 4.6 yards per carry this season, although he's been even more efficient the last two weeks, boasting 5.8 YPC. In Week 7, the 22-year-old will face a Seahawks defense allowing 5.0 YPC, tied for fourth-worst in the NFL. Seattle was gashed on the ground by Jordan Mason last week (9-73) and couldn't stop Isaac Guerendo (10-99) either, who had just 12 career carries coming into the game. Conditions will be pristine playing inside the dome in Atlanta and this matchup has one of the highest projected totals (51) in what should be a competitive game, so lock Robinson in as an RB1 with a strong probability of finishing in the top five in fantasy scoring at RB this week.

Bijan Robinson Rushes For Two Scores In Win

Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson took advantage of a weak Carolina run defense in Sunday's 38-20 victory, rushing 15 times for 95 yards and two scores. Robinson did most of his damage in the first half, including both scores, and the second-year back also tacked on three catches for 10 yards. Whatever was wrong with his hamstring that caused him to pop up on Thursday's injury report was clearly not an issue in this game, although he ultimately ceded 10 of the team's final 12 rush attempts to fellow backfielder Tyler Allgeier in the fourth quarter who looked strong too, racking up an 18-105-1 line himself. The 22-year-old has rushed for 61 or more yards in four of six games in 2024, now with 380 yards and three TDs on the year while averaging 3.5 receptions per game to boot. The former first-round draft pick gets a favorable matchup versus the Seahawks in Week 7, a rush defense that has yielded big games to the New England backfield (177 yards) in Week 2, the Detroit backs in Week 4 (118), and even the Giants' Tyrone Tracy in Week 5 (129). Next week's matchup boasts one of the highest expected totals as well, so there should be plenty of offense and Robinson stands to benefit again.
