Week 7 kicks off with Pittsburgh at Cincinnati on Thursday Night Football, followed by London’s Rams vs. Jaguars and the Colts at Chargers. Bills and Ravens are on bye. The odds table shows a mix of sizable favorites and close picks, including Steelers -5.5 at CIN, Rams -3.5 over JAX, and Chiefs as heavy favorites. Several matchups churn high-scoring potential while others hinge on defensive play and game script. Rosters should heed byes and travel effects as the slate unfolds.

Key Week 7 themes: spread-driven fantasy value in shootouts (TB vs DET, PHI vs MIN, ATL vs SF), streaming defenses in favorable matchups, and careful lineup construction around late-window games (IND-LAC, WSH-DAL). Monitor injury updates and weather, especially for London and prime time games, to capitalize on mismatches and avoid landmines.

Puka Nacua exited Sunday's win with an ankle sprain, but the Rams say it isn’t a long-term issue and he’ll be day-to-day. A clean scan supports a cautious, weekly return plan, with usage tailored to his movement and style. LA faces Week 7 in London against Jacksonville, adding a travel wrinkle to a wary schedule for fantasy managers.

Through five games, Nacua led the NFL in receptions and receiving yards, making his health a make-or-break factor for the Rams’ passing game. His status will drive lineup decisions and potential shifts behind him as the Rams balance risk and reward.

The Jets’ end-of-half choice against Denver sparked a loud, immediate debate. With under 30 seconds left on 4th-and-1, Aaron Glenn let the clock bleed and the Broncos took a 10-6 lead into halftime, a decision that helped fuel a 13-11 defeat and left players frustrated.

Garrett Wilson expressed visible discontent, and Glenn later said he regretted not pushing for a last-second play or a controlled Hail Mary. Kurt Warner joined the chorus, questioning the sequence and underscoring how such calls can shape season narratives and fantasy outlooks.

The episode fed the broader question of whether the Jets need a change in approach or leadership as they sit at 0-6, with the coaching decision already shaping talk about job security, game plan risk, and how this might affect fantasy-relevant targets going forward.

Puka Nacua’s ankle sprain has the Rams weighing London against Jacksonville with scans encouraging yet no guarantee for a quick return. McVay emphasized weekly decisions and a solid contingency plan for the offense if Nacua cannot go, with Adams and Whittington likely to share a larger role.

Nacua’s league-leading 54 catches for 616 yards anchors L.A.’s pass game, making the Stafford-Adams dynamic crucial if the young receiver is limited. Expect Atwell to be involved if healthy, while Corum and Karty add complexity to the roster as the Rams travel to London.
