Starts, Sits, Sleepers: Week 7

Player Notes
Jalen Carter Oct 19 10:00am CT
Jalen Carter

Philadelphia Eagles defensive tackle Jalen Carter (heel) is active for Sunday's Week 7 contest against the Minnesota Vikings, according to Paul Allen of KFAN1003. He had been listed as questionable after logging a pair of limited practices. The 24-year-old has played snaps in four games this season, not including when he was ejected in Week 1, and when he missed Week 6 due to injury. He has 10 tackles so far this season. Carter will return to action Sunday afternoon and provide a key boost to the Eagles as they look to slow down a surging Vikings squad.

From RotoBaller

Rico Dowdle Oct 19 10:00am CT
Rico Dowdle

Carolina Panthers running backs Chuba Hubbard and Rico Dowdle will trade series early in Sunday's Week 7 contest against the New York Jets, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. By alternating drives, the two running backs will have an opportunity to maintain fresh legs, while the coaching staff gets a chance to decide which running back to lean on later in the game. Both running backs may play quite well to start the game and then continue to contribute in a committee for the rest of the contest. However, by alternating series, Hubbard and Dowdle will each at least have a chance to establish themselves as the primary option out of this backfield. Hubbard and Dowdle both rank as solid RB3 options this week, and they could both have standalone value in an offense that has become increasingly run-heavy. Hubbard has appeal since he was the Panthers' starter before his calf injury and is first on the depth chart, while Dowdle has appeal because he exploded for 473 yards and two touchdowns in the two weeks that Hubbard missed.

From RotoBaller

J.J. McCarthy Oct 19 9:50am CT
J.J. McCarthy

Minnesota Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy (ankle) is currently recovering as he tries to work his way back from a multi-week absence. However, even when McCarthy is healthy again, he's not guaranteed to reclaim the starting quarterback job in Minnesota. Carson Wentz (shoulder) has been playing well as the Vikings' fill-in starter, and it could be tempting for head coach Kevin O'Connell to ride the hot hand. According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, "the Vikings are putting off [the quarterback] decision until they absolutely have to make it. If Wentz wins this week, wins next week, it's hard to imagine the team making him the backup, after that run of success." McCarthy remains a strong stash in dynasty leagues, but he has lost plenty of his redraft appeal.

From RotoBaller

Brock Purdy Oct 19 9:20am CT
Brock Purdy

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy (toe) could return against the Houston Texans in Week 8, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. The team has "hope" that he'll be able to suit up next Sunday, but Pelissero notes that he has not logged a full practice since Week 4. Furthermore, the 49ers don't intend to rush Purdy back, and he won't return to the starting lineup until he's fully healthy once again. Next week's set of practices will be the true test in determining whether the former seventh-round pick is capable of playing. In the meantime, Mac Jones will lead the 49ers' offense in Week 7 against Houston.

From RotoBaller

Tutu Atwell Oct 19 9:00am CT
Tutu Atwell

Los Angeles Rams tight end Tutu Atwell should have a significantly large role against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday. Teammate Puka Nacua (ankle) was ruled out, leaving Atwell and Jordan Whittington competing for the No. 2 wide receiver role behind Davante Adams. While Whittington played more than 90 percent of the snaps last weekend, Atwell has more experience in Los Angeles' offense. He's primarily a deep threat, offering the Rams a weapon downfield with his ability to shake defenders and get open for big gains. Over his last two games alone, he has three catches, 160 yards, and one touchdown. Deep-threat players tend to be a little more boom-or-bust, so we can't guarantee that Atwell will produce even with Nacua out. However, he should certainly occupy a larger role on Sunday, giving him a greater chance to offer WR3/flex value in fantasy football.

From RotoBaller

Grady Jarrett Oct 19 8:33am CT
Grady Jarrett

Chicago Bears DT Grady Jarrett (knee) is expected to play in Week 7's game versus the New Orleans Saints, according to a source. He had been listed as questionable on the injury report after participating in just one of Chicago's three practice sessions during the week on a limited basis.

From TheHuddle

Zach Ertz Oct 19 8:23am CT
Zach Ertz

Washington Commanders TE Zach Ertz (shoulder, calf) is expected to play in Week 7's game versus the Dallas Cowboys, according to a source.

Fantasy Spin: Ertz had been listed as questionable on the injury report after logging one full practice session and one limited session during the week. The Commanders will be missing their top three receivers this weekend (Terry McLaurin, Deebo Samuel and Noah Brown) due to injuries, so he can be deployed as a low-end TE1 option if he is active for the game.

From TheHuddle

Michael Mayer Oct 19 8:20am CT
Michael Mayer

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Michael Mayer is expected to remain the team's starter in Week 7 against the Kansas City Chiefs. Star tight end Brock Bowers (knee) will likely miss his third consecutive game, leaving Mayer in line to operate at the top of the depth chart. It will be the second consecutive start for the 24-year-old, who was excellent last Sunday with five catches, 50 yards, and a touchdown. The Chiefs have allowed the sixth-fewest fantasy points to tight ends in 2025, but an anticipated negative game script and a lack of many other options in the passing game will likely compel Geno Smith to throw to his primary tight end early and often. Mayer should be viewed as a mid-to-low TE1 this week.

From RotoBaller

Jordan Whittington Oct 19 8:10am CT
Jordan Whittington

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Jordan Whittington will move up the depth chart for Sunday's Week 7 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Rams will be without top wideout Puka Nacua (ankle) for this game. That means, Whittington could move into the No. 2 role behind Davante Adams for this game. The 25-year-old has been quiet, but saw a season-high four targets and played 92 percent of the offensive snaps during last week's game. The expectation is that Whittington will be more involved with Nacua unable to play. There should be flex value here against a shaky Jaguars secondary this weekend.

From RotoBaller

Chris Moore Oct 19 8:00am CT
Chris Moore

Washington Commanders wide receiver Chris Moore figures to have a larger role during Sunday's Week 7 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys. The Commanders are without wideouts Terry McLaurin (quad), Deebo Samuel Sr. (heel), and Noah Brown (groin) for this game. That means, Luke McCaffrey and Moore will serve as the top wideouts in this offense. Moore posted a decent game last week where he hauled in three receptions for 46 yards and a touchdown. The Cowboys secondary is already struggling, but now they'll be without top defensive back Trevon Diggs (concussion) as well. Moore could offer flex value in PPR formats.

From RotoBaller

Luke McCaffrey Oct 19 7:50am CT
Luke McCaffrey

Washington Commanders wide receiver Luke McCaffrey will serve as the No. 1 wideout for Sunday's game against the Dallas Cowboys. The Commanders will be without Terry McLaurin (quad), Deebo Samuel Sr. (heel), and Noah Brown (groin) for this Week 7 contest. McCaffrey will serve as the top option against the Cowboys defense that is without starting defensive back Trevon Diggs (concussion) for this game. McCaffrey has been quiet this season, but could offer flex value for needy fantasy managers. The Commanders are limited on options, so McCaffrey should see plenty of opportunities.

From RotoBaller

Emanuel Wilson Oct 19 7:40am CT
Emanuel Wilson

Green Bay Packers running back Emanuel Wilson hasn't seen much of the field this season, but could be more involved in Week 7. Lead back Josh Jacobs (illness, calf) is banged up heading into this contest. Right now, Jacobs is considered a game-time decision for Sunday's game. If he sits, Wilson would offer streaming value as the lead back this weekend. Even as the backup, Wilson figures to have increased duties with Jacobs banged up. He's not worth starting right now, but could be worth a stash given Jacobs' status right now. Wilson could give running back needy fantasy managers an option if Jacobs is unable to go.

From RotoBaller

Carson Wentz Oct 19 7:30am CT
Carson Wentz

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Carson Wentz has been named the starter for the Week 7 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles. This marks the fourth straight start for Wentz while J.J. McCarthy (ankle) recovers. According to Ian Rapoport, Wentz could be under center for Week 8 as well. It doesn't sound like the Vikings are fully committed to McCarthy once he's healthy. Wentz has been a viable option with 759 passing yards, five touchdowns, and two interceptions in place of McCarthy. It'll be interesting to see how he does in a revenge game against the Eagles in Week 7. He should be able to offer streaming appeal against the Eagles shaky secondary.

From RotoBaller

Jeffery Simmons Oct 19 7:10am CT
Jeffery Simmons

Despite trade conjecture surrounding their best player, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport is reporting that the Tennessee Titans will not trade defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons. One of the league's best defensive players at any position, Simmons is the most sought-after player on a team that is 1-5 and fired its coach this week. The Titans are a long way from contending and figure to move some players before the trade deadline, though it appears that their All-Pro defensive tackle won't be one of them. Headed for another teardown, it looks as if Simmons, 28, is still in the Titans' plans for a rebuild.

From RotoBaller

Jalen Carter Oct 19 7:00am CT
Jalen Carter

Philadelphia Eagles defensive tackle Jalen Carter (heel) is likely to be ready when his team plays the Minnesota Vikings at U.S. Bank Stadium, according to a report from Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. The star defensive lineman missed Week 6 with the injury, but should be back for a Philly defense in search of a rebound following an ugly loss to the New York Giants. Minnesota will be without its starting center, Ryan Kelly (concussion), and possibly right tackle Brian O'Neill (knee), giving the Eagles a decent chance to disrupt an offense led by backup quarterback Carson Wentz.

From RotoBaller

Abdul Carter Oct 19 7:00am CT
Abdul Carter

New York Giants edge rusher Abdul Carter (hamstring) will be a game-time decision to take on the Denver Broncos in Week 7, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. The rookie from Penn State has made the trip to Denver, per Rapoport, but will use pre-game workouts to determine whether he can play through the hamstring ailment. If he responds well, it's possible he could play against a Broncos offense that struggled last week, but managers in IDP should make other plans nonetheless. With a 4:05 p.m. EST kickoff, waiting for Carter's official status is too risky to start him this week.

From RotoBaller

Jakobi Meyers Oct 19 6:50am CT
Jakobi Meyers

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (knee, toe) will use Sunday's pre-game workout to determine whether he can play through the injuries, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. The Raiders are once again set to be without tight end Brock Bowers (knee), and could also be without another pass catcher if the veteran receiver is not able to play. Meyers hasn't been a great fantasy option since a productive Week 1, as he's ranked 40th or lower among PPR receivers four weeks in a row. Now facing multiple injuries and a matchup against a strong Kansas City defense, managers should look for other options this week.

From RotoBaller

Stefon Diggs Oct 19 6:40am CT
Stefon Diggs

New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs (chest) is expected to play when the Pats take on the Tennessee Titans in Week 7, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. The veteran wide receiver has two top-20 finishes in the past three weeks and has started to look like his old self now that he is one year removed from a major knee injury as a member of the Houston Texans. Diggs has 22 targets, 19 catches, and 275 yards in New England's past three games, and now takes on a Titans team ranked 18th against fantasy wide receivers. He's a solid WR2/high-end Flex in Week 7 who can be started in pretty much all formats.

From RotoBaller

Cam Ward Oct 19 6:30am CT
Cam Ward

During their first game with an interim coaching staff, the Tennessee Titans plan to "simplify" their offense in an attempt to aid rookie quarterback Cameron Ward, according to a report from ESPN's Adam Schefter. The 2025 No. 1 overall pick is completing just under 55% of his passes for 1,101 yards with three touchdowns and four interceptions through six games, but the Titans are 1-5 and fired head coach Brian Callahan this week. Tennessee is set to take on resurgent New England in Week 7, which should keep Ward, ranked as the No. 33 fantasy quarterback, out of fantasy lineups. At this point, Ward should only be rostered in dynasty formats on a Titans team that is making another strong case to draft first overall.

From RotoBaller

Zach Ertz Oct 19 6:20am CT
Zach Ertz

According to a report from NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, tight end Zach Ertz (shoulder/calf) of the Washington Commanders should be available to play against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday. The veteran tight end is coming off one of his more productive days of the season last week, catching all six of his targets for 43 yards and a touchdown. Ertz's availability is welcome news for Washington, which is ravaged by wide receiver injuries. With Deebo Samuel (heel) and Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) already ruled out and Noah Brown (groin) still on injured reserve, Ertz should have increased volume, making him a great option for leagues that start more than one tight end.
