Green Bay’s defense has kept opponents under 20 in four of five but has produced only two takeaways this season, a steep drop from last year’s top-five pace. The regression mirrors a decade-long pattern where teams with high takeaway rates slide to mid-pack or worse the following year, especially when facing turnover-averse QBs. With Kyler Murray, Aaron Rodgers, and Bryce Young on deck, GB may need to lean on forced fumbles and a patient, sound approach rather than hunting for picks to flip games.

Broncos survive a defensive masterclass as Jets stall, totaling just 82 yards and -10 net passing yards after nine sacks. Justin Fields went 9-for-45, while Denver’s pass rush dictated the tempo and kept the offense afloat with key stops. The tale is less about Colorado’s flashy offense and more about a defense premiering dominance that could shape fantasy lineups and weekly streaming decisions in the near term.

Week 7 waiver wire targets center on Boutte’s Week 6 breakout and a cottage industry of sleepers across WR and RB spots. Boutte surged for 93 yards and 2 TDs for New England, sharpening the case for a low-end WR3/flex in deeper leagues with a favorable Week 7 matchup. Jalen Coker nears a return for Carolina, Tez Johnson shows sneaky flex upside for Tampa Bay, and Troy Franklin profiles as a consistent depth option for Denver. Romeo Doubs, Josh Downs, Michael Carter, Elic Ayomanor, and Mason Taylor all sit on the radar as potential Week 7 adds. The Who Should I Pickup tool helps you compare four players at once and identify the best developmental or immediate value with updated rankings and bye-week context.

Raiders may hold Brock Bowers out for Week 7 against Kansas City as they weigh a longer bye-driven plan. If sidelined, fantasy targets shift to Davante Adams and Tyler Higbee, with Konata Mumpfield and Jordan Whittington stepping in. Jets face benching buzz for Justin Fields, a scenario that could alter Week 7 plans. Puka Nacua’s ankle sprain threatens the league-leader’s usage, potentially widening looks for Atwell and Higbee in Los Angeles. Emeka Egbuka’s hamstring tightens Tampa Bay’s WR mix, boosting Evans and Godwin’s roles. Kamara trade chatter heats Saints intrigue, while Deebo Samuel’s status leaves San Francisco’s passing game in flux. With byes and injuries, Week 7 lineups demand precise updates and matchup reads.
