Rashee Rice’s expected Week 7 workload pairs with a healthy CD Lamb as Kansas City’s offense leans into a sharper, multi-weapon attack. Ashton Gentry is projected for 20 carries per game, with Brock Bowers back in the Raiders’ plans and Puka Nakua day-to-day, raising anticipation for a fuller, more dynamic passing game. Trade chatter swirls around Jaylen Waddle, Garrett Wilson, Drake London, and Jahmyr Gibbs, shaping bold but prudent week-to-week moves for fantasy squads.

Week 7 looks primed for high upside across a mix of top-tier and breakout players. The show’s instinct: lean into the hot hands (Rice, Lamb, Gentry) while weighing the risk of volatile injuries and game scripts. For dynasty and keeper formats, the chatter around returns (Nakua, Bowers) and the evolving backfields (Gentry, Gibbs) could redefine leverage and trade timing into the upcoming bye weeks.

Week 7 fantasy QB rankings spotlight Dak Prescott and Jaden Daniels at the top in a likely shootout, with Prescott anchored by a high-volume offense and Daniels providing rushing upside against a leaky defense. Drake May and Caleb Williams sit close, carrying strong upside in favorable matchups. On the TE side, George Kittle leads if healthy, with Sam LaPorta, Dallas Goedert, and Evan Ingram offering solid midrange floors. Sleeper intrigue includes Harold Fannon Jr. and Jake Ferguson as injuries ripple through receivers.

Rashee Rice's Week 7 return fuels Chiefs-heavy fantasy chatter as Smitty notes Mahomes' sustained velocity and Rice's place across leagues. Jahmyr Gibbs sits at the center of Detroit's backfield plan, with Montgomery both looming and tempering the ceiling. The conversation dodges panic while emphasizing buy-low nuance, mid-season monsters, and diversification for playoff runs.

Across the board, the focus tightens on big-name receivers—London, Adams, Nico Collins—and the ongoing hunt for value in trades to juice rosters. The takeaway: ride the wave with pragmatic aggression, target the right matchups, and stay nimble through the fantasy stretch run.

Chicago Bears ride a late surge to stretch a three game win streak, fueled by a revamped ground game and a confident Caleb Williams. Theo Benedict and Darnell Wright locked down the edges, DeAndre Swift burst through gaps, and the offense leaned into play action and clock management. Washington Commanders rallied but Chicago answered with poise, highlighting a culture shift that could reshape the rest of the season.

With a favorable stretch ahead starting against New Orleans, fantasy managers should monitor the Swift workload, Benedict and Wrights run blocking, and Williams growth under Ben Johnson. The by week produced adjustments that paid off, and the Bears look like a team on a new path toward a playoff push if they keep this momentum on the ground and protect the ball.
