Week 7 kicks off with Rodgers and the Steelers facing a Joe Flacco-led Bengals, followed by Dallas at Washington. The primetime card features Falcons at 49ers, while MNF pits the Buccaneers against the Lions and the Texans against the Seahawks. SportsDay’s experts deliver straight-up and against-the-spread picks, spotlighting Prescott’s offense and George Pickens amid a busy fantasy landscape, with Javonte Williams adding versatility for Dallas. Expect QB efficiency, backfield shares, and WR targets to drive weekly lineup decisions.

Dallas’ offense is a focal point as they chase a bounce-back performance, while Cincinnati leans on careful game management. The Falcons-49ers clash could hinge on pace and containment, and late-week pivots in Tampa Bay–Detroit and Houston–Seattle will test rosters down the stretch. The guidance aims to sharpen fantasy rosters and betting angles across key Week 7 matchups.

Caleb Williams engineered a dramatic 25-24 comeback over Washington, tossing for 252 yards and a TD while rushing for another score, then delivered a clutch third-down pass that set up Jake Moody’s game-winner. Williams is pacing toward a 4,000-yard season and has shown elite production under blitz pressure.

Critics like Troy Aikman made waves, but Bears fans and Williams both pushed back as the offense thrives. Williams’ blitz work (389 yards, six TDs, no INT in heavy pressure) and a strong early stretch hint at a breakout arc, with Moody’s leg remaining a fantasy factor in tight games.

Week 7 fantasy pivots loom as a flood of injuries and returns reshapes lineups. J.J. McCarthy nears a Minnesota return; Carson Wentz could start again if he can’t go. Purdy and Kittle were limited in SF practice, with Purdy’s status uncertain and Mac Jones a potential Week 7 fallback. Khalil Mack’s 21-day window opens for the Chargers, signaling a pass rush boost. Kyler Murray is limited by a foot issue, with Jacoby Brissett ready to start if needed.

Dallas expects CeeDee Lamb back to energize Prescott-Pickens, while Noah Brown’s IR creates WR depth concerns for Washington. Jets’ Garrett Wilson faces knee questions; Anthony Richardson’s orbital fracture could sideline Indy for multiple games. Jauan Jennings and Fred Warner headlines set SF’s injury notes as Lions welcome Alim McNeill back, reshaping defenses across the league.

Matchup-driven fantasy decisions take center stage this week. A concise, angle-focused guide shows who rises with favorable game scripts and who falters when defenses clamp down. Expect emphasis on run-heavy plays on short weeks, sleeper WRs stepping into role gaps, and tight-end and backfield pivots based on opponent tendencies. It’s all about exploiting weeks’ specific edge to optimize lineups before kickoff.

Key notes lean into under-the-radar targets and path to volume: a running back with favorable implied rushing volume, a wideout stepping into larger target shares when a star is limited, and a quarterback floor boosted by quick throws against pressure. The aim is confidence in your start/sit calls, not guesswork, with lines from Caesars framing the risk-reward landscape.

George Pickens has arrived in Dallas, racking 32 catches, 525 yards and a career-high six TDs over the last six games after a May trade from Pittsburgh. With Amari Cooper and CeeDee Lamb healthy and KaVontae Turpin adding explosiveness, the Cowboys boast a top offense while Pickens treks toward unrestricted free agency after 2025. A potential franchise tag or new deal could shape his fantasy value, especially if Lamb’s return solidifies Dallas’ aerial attack against Washington this week.

Owner Jerry Jones praised the fit and production, while Pickens signals he wants to maximize the moment and push for playoffs, keeping options open beyond 2025. The surrounding talent line and injury luck improve his rest-of-season ceiling, making him a hot-ticket target in dynasty and redraft fantasy discussions.
