Week 7 turns the fantasy kicker position into a roller coaster. Pineiro in San Francisco shines as a top streamer with long-range legs and a favorable Atlanta matchup. Wil Lutz in Denver provides steady points, especially in the 35–50 yard range against the Giants. Fairbairn in Houston steps into a strong long-kick volume spot after the bye. McPherson, McManus, and several others carry risk due to offense stagnation or tricky venues, so be ready to chase distance and weekly volatility.

Key names to target and avoid: Pineiro and Lutz are solid anchors, Fairbairn brings upside, McPherson sits in effectively bench territory until Cincinnati’s offense stabilizes, and Karty faces London wind and Rams protection concerns. The waiver pool is thin, so prioritize kickers with leg strength, clear volume, and road-friendly spots in Week 7.

Josh Jacobs powered Green Bay to a 27-18 win over Cincinnati with two rushing TDs, fueling the Packers’ scoring surge behind Jordan Love’s 259 passing yards and a 19-yard TD to Tucker Kraft. Lucas Havrisik nailed a pair of field goals, including the decisive 39-yarder after signing with Green Bay due to McManus’s quad injury. Cincinnati’s late burst came up short as Evan McPherson missed a long try and Flacco’s late rhythm was hampered by stalled drives.

Green Bay snapped a mini-slump coming off the bye, while Cincinnati dropped a fourth straight, fading after Flacco’s 19-yard TD to Ja’Marr Chase and a later 2-point connection to Chase Brown. The game showcased Havrisik’s reliability and Jacobs’ renewed goal-line punch, highlighting fantasy angles as the Packers lean on a balanced attack and the Bengals continue to search for consistency.

Green Bay escaped Cincinnati 27-18 to move to 3-1-1, with a late drive and a breakout from Matthew Golden fueling the offense. The defense stifled the Bengals early, while the Packers finally converted a few red-zone chances and leaned on the run game to salt away the game.

Stock up on Golden, Kraft, Van Ness, Jacobs, Havrisik and Brinson, while the first-half offense and Quay Walker offered cautionary notes. The win buys time, but the schedule ahead will test consistency and tiebreakers in a crowded NFC playoff race.

Flacco shined late in his Bengals debut, delivering two second-half touchdown passes as Cincinnati fell 27-18 at Green Bay, keeping the club mired in a four-game skid and at 2-4. The offense woke after a slow start, with a Tanner Hudson TD on fourth down and a late Ja’Marr Chase score plus a two-point convert to pull within six. Green Bay answered with Havriski field goals and a Jordan Love TD to Kraft, then iced it with a Havriski FG with under two minutes. Cincinnati heads to Thursday Night Football vs. Pittsburgh.
