This was one of the highest scoring fantasy weeks of the season. There were several huge performances in Week 7, seeing seven players top 30 fantasy points. And three of those players topped 35 points. We had five more players get 28-plus fantasy points, including three tight ends. The scoring was high at several positions - not just quarterbacks. Hopefully, you were on the positive side of the scoring this week, taking advantage of some of these big performances.

Bengals 33, Steelers 31

Fantasy Stud: Ja’Marr Chase. Chase had a game-winning performance for fantasy teams, catching 16 passes for 161 yards and a touchdown. He scored 38.1 fantasy points. He has 25-plus fantasy points three straight games and is staking his claim as the top fantasy receiver in the game once again. This was his third game this season with double-digit receptions. Chase has quickly formed a top rapport with new quarterback Joe Flacco, having 26 receptions his last two games

Fantasy Dud: DK Metcalf. Metcalf had a rare down performance in a game the Steelers threw for 249 yards and four touchdowns. Metcalf had just three receptions for 50 yards. He scored a season-low eight fantasy points. This was his first game all season with fewer than double-digit fantasy points.

Game Notes: Chase Brown hit the 100-yard mark for the first time this season. He had 11 carries for 108 yards. This was his list game with more than 50-rushing yards.

Pat Freiermuth had five receptions for 111 yards and two touchdowns. He did not have more than 35 yards in a game all season before this huge performance.

Rams 35, Jaguars 7

Fantasy Stud: Davante Adams. Adams had just 35 yards but managed to score three touchdowns. He had five receptions for 35 yards and three touchdowns. Adams screed 26.5 fantasy points, giving him 20-plus points two games this season. He has six touchdowns on the season.

Fantasy Dud: Travis Etienne. Etienne ran eight times for 44 yards and caught a pass for 11 yards. He scored a season-worst 6.5 fantasy points. Etienne started the season great but now has fewer than double-digit fantasy points three straight games. He has really cooled lately.

Game Notes: Matthew Stafford was near flawless, going 21-of-33 for 182 yards and five touchdowns without a turnover. Stafford has three-plus touchdowns three of four games.

Travis Hunter had his best game as a pro. He had eight receptions for 101 yards and a touchdown. Hunter was targeted 14 times.

Chiefs 31, Raiders 0

Fantasy Stud: Rashee Rice. Rice returned from his suspension and made an immediate impact. He had seven receptions for 42 yards and two touchdowns. And he did this without playing a full game because the Chiefs were up big. Rice had 23.2 fantasy points on 10 targets. He is going to be a huge part of this offense the rest of the way

Fantasy Dud: Ashton Jeanty. Jeanty had a terrible game, rushing six times for just 21 yards. And he caught just a pass for 13 yards. Jeanty scored just 4.4 fantasy points, his worst fantasy game of the season. He just isn’t having quite the rookie season fantasy owners hoped.

Game Notes: Patrick Mahomes had his second straight three-touchdown game and third in four games. He was 26-of-35 for 286 yards and three touchdowns without a turnover.

Isiah Pacheco scored his first rushing touchdown of the season. He ran 15 times for 57 yards and a touchdown. His attempts and rushing yards were both season highs.

Patriots 31, Titans 13

Fantasy Stud: Rhamondre Stevenson. Stevenson took advantage of a favorable matchup and had his best game the season. He ran 18 times for 88 yards and a touchdown against a terrible Dolphins rush defense. He also caught two passes. Stevenson scored 16.8 fantasy points. He has 15-plus points two of three games

Fantasy Dud: TreVeyon Henderson. Henderson couldn’t even get any touches in a blowout victory for the Patriots. He ran two times for five yards and didn’t catch a single pass. Henderson is unusable right now. He just isn’t getting enough weekly chances to help fantasy teams.

Game Notes: Drake Maye missed on just two passes, going 21-of-23 for 222 yards and two touchdowns without a turnover.

Chimere Dike led the Titans in receiving, catching four passes for 70 yards and a touchdown. He set season highs across the board.

Browns 31, Dolphins 6

Fantasy Stud: Quinshon Judkins. Judkins ran 25 times for 84 yards and three touchdowns. He didn’t catch a pass but still managed 26.4 fantasy points. He has double-digit fantasy points all but a game in his young career. He is off to a great start and should continue to be the focal point of this offense

Fantasy Dud: Jaylen Waddle. There were a lot of duds in this game, but Waddle gets the top honors, catching just a pass for 15 yards. It was an unexpected performance from Waddle, who has been posting big numbers as the No. 1 receiver in this offense once Tyreek Hill was injured.

Game Notes: Tua Tagovailoa found his way to the bench in this one, going 12-of-23 for 100 yards with three interceptions. He had an awful showing.

Dillon Gabriel didn’t even throw for 120 yards but led his team to a win. He was 13-of-18 for 116 yards without a touchdown or turnover.

Bears 26, Saints 14

Fantasy Stud: Chris Olave. Olave had five recepotins for 98 yards and two touchdowns. He continues to be a huge bright spot for the Saints offense. Olave topped 20 fantasy points for the first time this year, scoring 26.8 fantasy points. He has double-digit fantasy points every single game. Olave is having a career-best season

Fantasy Dud: Rome Odunze. Odunze caught just two passes for 31 yards. It was his second straight down game, scoring just 5.1 fantasy points. He has fewer than six points two straight games, catching four passes for just 63 yards on 11 targets.

Game Notes: D’Andre Swift was iffy to play because of a groin injury but played and played very well. He ran 19 times for 124 yards and a touchdown. It was his second straight 100-yard rushing game.

Kyle Monangai had the best game of his young career, rushing 13 times for 81 yards and a touchdown. He also caught two passes for 13 yards, giving him 94 total yards. 

Eagles 28, Vikings 22

Fantasy Stud: A.J. Brown. Brown had a huge game, catching four passes for 121 yards and two touchdowns. He scored 28.1 fantasy points, which was his best total of the season. He has three games this year with 14-plus fantasy points. Brown has been inconsistent this year but starting to show some signs of turning things around

Fantasy Dud: Saquon Barkley. Barkley ran just 18 times for 44 yards and caught a pass for negative two yards. It was yet another very disappointing showing for Barkley. He scored just 5.4 fantasy points. This was his worst game of the season. He has fewer than double-digit fantasy points two straight and three of five games.

Game Notes: Dallas Goedert had three receptions for 18 yards. He had touchdowns four straight games before this one. Goedert scored just 4.8 fantasy points.

Jordan Addison reached the 100-yard mark for the second time in three games. He had nine receptions for 128 yards on 12 targets.

Panthers 13, Jets 6

Fantasy Stud: Xavier Legette. Legette led the Panthers in receiving, catching nine passes for 92 yards and a touchdown. He has touchdowns two of three games. Legette did not have more than 35-receiving yards in a game before this big showing. He also had a season-high 11 targets

Fantasy Dud: Justin Fields. Fields had another poor showing, which led him to the bench. He was 6-of-12 for just 46 yards and ran four times for 22 yards. Tyrod Taylor wasn’t much better in his place, though, so who knows where the Jets turn to next week? Taylor was 10-of-22 for 126 yards with two interceptions. The Jets continues to search for a franchise quarterback.

Game Notes: Bryce Young was unable to finish the game because of an ankle injury. He was 15-of-25 for 138 yards and a touchdowns without a turnover before getting hurt. Andy Dalton was 4-of-7 for 60 yards in his place.

Chuba Hubbard started but the Panthers pretty much split the work at running back. Rico Dowdle was the more effective runner, rushing 17 times for 79 yards. Hubbard ran 14 times for just 31 yards.

Colts 38, Chargers 24

Fantasy Stud: Jonathan Taylor. Taylor just keeps rolling along, piling up big numbers on a weekly basis. He rushed 16 times for 94 yards and three touchdowns. Taylor also had three receptions for 38 yards. Taylor scored 34.2 fantasy points, which was a season high for him. He has five of seven games with 20-plus fantasy points. He is producing as well as any back in the game right now.

Fantasy Dud: Kimani Vidal. Vidal did not follow his big game last week too well. He was held in check, ruching nine times for just 20 yards. He also caught four passes for 15 yards. He remains the lead back but nothing is certain with this rushing game right now. It has struggled at times this year, making Vidal a risk - even in a starting role.

Game Notes: Oronde Gadsden had seven receptions for 164 yards and a touchdown. He has seven receptions each of his last two games.

Keenan Allen had 11 receptions for 119 yards and a touchdown. He had season highs in receptions and yards, getting targeted 14 times.

Fantasy Stud: Trey McBride. McBride had another huge game, catching 10 passes for 74 yards and two touchdowns. He scored 29.4 fantasy points, giving him 20-plus points two straight games. He has been targeted double-digit times three of four games. He is having a monster season as the top target for the Cardinals passing game

Fantasy Dud: Marvin Harrison. Harrison had two receptions for 58 yards. He made a couple big plays but not enough to help fantasy owners. He scored just 7.8 fantasy points. Harrison has been more bad than good much of the year, having fewer than double-digit points four of six games.

Game Notes: Josh Jacobs was game-time decision because of a groin injury. He played and found the end zone twice, rushing 13 times for 55 yards and two touchdowns.

Tucker Kraft had five receptions for 58 yards and a touchdown. He has scores two straight and four of six games.

Cowboys 44, Commanders 22

Fantasy Stud: CeeDee Lamb. Lamb returned from his ankle injury and didn’t miss a beat. He had five receptions for 110 yards and a touchdown. Lamb looked healthy and explosive. Lamb has 100-yard games in all three he has played this year

Fantasy Dud: Jacory Croskey-Merritt. Croskey-Merritt led the team in rush attempts but wasn’t able to find room to run against a bad Cowboys defense. He ran 13 times for just 33 yards and caught just a pass. Croskey-Merritt has double-digit carries three straight games but has double-digit fantasy points just one of those games.

Game Notes: Jayden Daniels was unable to finish the game because of a hamstring injury. He was 12-of-22 for 156 yards and a touchdown without an interception before feting hurt. He also ran eight times for 35 yards and a touchdown.

Javonte Williams had his second 100-yard rushing game of the season. He ran 19 times for 116 yards and a touchdown.

Broncos 33, Giants 32

Fantasy Stud: Bo Nix. It took Nix a little to get it going but he got it going in a big way, scoring 42.7 fantasy points. He threw for 278 yards and two touchdowns without a turnover. He also ran in two scores, rushing for 48 yards and two touchdowns. Nix has four games with 20-plus fantasy points this season.

Fantasy Dud: JK Dobbins. Dobbins had some success on the ground but didn’t help fantasy teams. He failed to find the end zone and caught just a pass. Dobbins ran 14 times for 81 yards, scoring 9.1 fantasy points. He has fewer than double-digit fantasy points two straight after starting the season with 11-plus fantasy points five straight games.

Game Notes: Jaxson Dart had the best game of his young career against a good Broncos defense. He scored four total touchdowns. Dart was 15-of-33 for 283 yards and three touchdowns without an interception. He also ran five times for 11 yard and a score.

Theo Johnson scored a touchdown for the third time in four games. He had three receptions for 66 yards and a touchdown on seven targets.

49ers 20, Falcons 10

Fantasy Stud: Christian McCaffrey. McCaffrey just keeps posting huge weekly numbers. He ran 24 times for 129 yards and two touchdowns. He also led the 49ers in receiving, finishing with seven receptions for 72 yards. So he had 201 total yards in the game and two scores. McCaffrey had 39.1 fantasy points, the highest total of a season he has at least 22 fantasy points every single game. McCaffrey is once again the top fantasy back in the game after seven weeks of the season

Fantasy Dud: George Kittle. Kittle returned to the lineup and made an immediate impact, but it was as a blocker and not a receiver. He failed to catch a pass, getting targeted two times. He made a big difference in the running game, though, seeing the 49ers run all over the Falcons in this one. There will be better days ahead for Kittle in the passing game.

Game Notes: Kyle Pitts had seven receptions for 62 yards. He was targeted a season-high 10 times in the game.

Bijan Robinson scored a touchdown for the third straight game. He ran 14 times for 40 yards, and caught six passes for 52 yards and a touchdown.
