Brock Purdy should be able to put up big passing yardage numbers against the Falcons, who have allowed at least 280 passing yards in 4 of their last5 games.
Jordan Love should be able to put up elite numbers against the Lions, who have allowed a QB1 fantasy finish in every game this season.
If Lamar Jackson plays, you have to treat him as a top-tier fantasy quarterback. If he remains out, Tyler Huntley would move into that Tier 5 range.
Matthew Stafford has a favorable matchup against the Raiders, who have allowed opposing quarterbacks to throw for at least 225 passing yards and two touchdowns in 4 straight games.
Tier 2 | Strong QB1
| Team | Player | Opponent | Confidence Meter | Fantasy Points P/G | QB Rate vs Man | QB Rate vs Zone | QB Rate vs Blitz | CPOE | Deep Throw % | ADJ Comp % | 1Read % | PRESS % | FP/OPP: |

Caleb Williams faces a Patriots secondary that runs the second-highest rate of man coverage in the league. Williams ranks 10th in quarterback rating against man coverage this season, so he should be able to thrive against this Patriots defense.
Jared Goff faces a tough matchup against the Packers, who have not allowed an opposing quarterback to throw more than one passing touchdown in 5
straight games. Green Bay has also forced an interception in 5 of its 6 games this season, making this a challenging matchup for Goff.

Drake Maye will face a tough environment in Chicago, where the Bears have not allowed an opposing quarterback to throw for over 160 passing yards in a home game this season.
Bryce Young has been great this year, but he could struggle at times against the Buccaneers, who have the fourth-highest blitz rate in the league. Young has struggled badly against the blitz this season, posting one of the lowest quarterback ratings against it.
Patrick Mahomes faces a tough matchup against the Seattle Seahawks, who have not allowed an opposing quarterback to throw for over 200 passing yards in a game this season.
Dak Prescott has thrown at least two passing touchdowns in 6 of his last 7 matchups against the Eagles.

This could be a great bounce-back game for Bo Nix against the Cardinals, who have allowed opposing quarterbacks to throw two or more passing touchdowns in 5 straight games.
Michael Penix Jr. could be a quarterback to lower expectations for this week against the 49ers, who run the fourth-highest rate of zone coverage in the league. Penix has struggled against zone coverage, ranking near the bottom in quarterback rating against it.
Tanner McKee could be in line for some big plays in Week 7 against the Cowboys, who allow the most deep throws in the league. McKee has shown a willingness to push the ball downfield, with 11% of his throws traveling 20 or more yards.
We could see the return of Baker Mayfield, who has missed the last 4 games due to injury. However, he would be a risky play against the Panthers. If Mayfield remains out, Jalon Daniels would move into that Tier 5 range.

J.J. McCarthy gets the start in Week 7 against the Texans, which could help him build on his momentum from Week 6. Houston has the third-lowest blitz rate in the league, which should benefit McCarthy, who has struggled against the blitz this season.
Deshaun Watson has been below average in recent weeks, but perhaps a matchup against the Titans can help him bounce back. Tennessee has allowed at least 260 passing yards in four of its last 5 games.
Tier 6 | QBs to Avoid if Possible

The Minnesota Vikings have the highest blitz rate in the NFL, and Daniel Jones has struggled badly against the blitz. Don’t be surprised if Jones gets benched at some point in Week 7.

Despite a tough Seattle defense, Kenneth Walker should be just fine, as the Seahawks have allowed a rushing touchdown in 3 straight games and at least 3 receptions to an opposing running back in 5 of their 6 games.
Christian McCaffrey should be a strong candidate for an anytime touchdown in Week 7, as the Falcons have allowed an opposing running back to score in 3 straight games.
Jahmyr Gibbs has struggled against the Packers throughout his career, but Green Bay’s run defense has been terrible this season, allowing a rushing touchdown in every game.

Kyren Williams will look to bounce back against the Raiders, who have allowed an opposing running back to record at least 80 all-purpose yards and a touchdown in 3 straight games.
Javonte Williams will also look to get going in a favorable matchup against the Eagles, who allow the 4th-most yards after contact per attempt (YACO/ATT) and have allowed an 80-yard rusher in 3 of their last 4 games.

Chuba Hubbard faces a tough matchup against the Buccaneers, who have not allowed an opposing running back to rush for over 60 yards in a game this season.
Look for Jaylen Warren to have an increased chance of scoring a touchdown on Sunday in Paris, as the Saints have allowed a rushing touchdown in every game this season.
If Baker Mayfield returns to the field, it could give Bucky Irving a boost in the passing game. The Panthers have allowed an opposing running back to record at least 4 receptions in 3 straight games.

We should see the return of Jordan Mason in Week 7. It was only 1 game, but Mason did outcarry Aaron Jones. The Colts allow the 3rd-most yards before contact, meaning opposing running backs have been able to gain decent yardage before getting hit.
Woody Marks could be in line for a better game in Week 7 against the Giants, who have allowed a 60-yard rusher in 5 straight games.
Quinshon Judkins is questionable for Week 7, but he would remain in this tier if he plays. The Titans have allowed an opposing running back to record at least 80 all-purpose yards in 3 of their last 4 games.

We should see the return of Jordan Mason in Week 7. It was only 1 game, but Mason did outcarry Aaron Jones. The Colts allow the 3rd-most yards before contact, meaning opposing running backs have been able to gain decent yardage before getting hit.
Woody Marks could be in line for a better game in Week 7 against the Giants, who have allowed a 60-yard rusher in 5 straight games.
Quinshon Judkins is questionable for Week 7, but he would remain in this tier if he plays. The Titans have allowed an opposing running back to record at least 80 all-purpose yards in 3 of their last 4 games.

Tyler Allgeier stays in this tier whether Love plays or not. I’d be intrigued by Allgeier this week, as the Broncos have allowed a rushing touchdown in 5 of their 6 games this season.
Zach Charbonnet looks set to play his 1st game of the season, but he comes with plenty of risk. Until we have a better understanding of his role and how much playing time he’ll receive, I’d be cautious about starting him.
Cam Skattebo was essentially benched last week, but with Najee Harris gone, who will get the bulk of the carries? I’d lean toward the hot hand from last week in Tyrone Tracy, especially since the Texans have allowed an opposing running back to record at least 4 receptions in 3 straight games.

Rico Dowdle also has touchdown upside this week, as the Saints have allowed a rushing touchdown in every game this season.
Kenny Gainwell could offer some PPR value this week, as the Panthers have allowed an opposing backfield to record at least 4 receptions in 3 straight games.
Dameon Pierce would likely jump into Tier 5 if Saquon Barkley misses this week.
Dylan Sampson is set to make his return this week and could move into Tier 6, as the Titans offer a favorable matchup for all-purpose running backs.
Depending on Tyjae Spears‘ health, he could have a favorable matchup against the Browns, who allow the 4th-highest yards after contact per attempt (YACO/ATT). Spears ranks in the top 10 in yards after contact this season.
Roschon Johnson has shown some value in PPR leagues if you just need points. He has recorded over 30 receiving yards and at least 2 receptions in back-to-back games.

Bam Knight could be an interesting sleeper if Love misses this week. Knight looked like the more explosive running back and could move into that Tier 5 range.
We are getting the return of Jonah Coleman, but I would avoid starting him this week since we don’t know what his role will look like in his 1st game back.
Pierre Strong would be the Packers running back I’d be forced to start if Josh Jacobs misses this week, especially in PPR formats. Strong has recorded 8 receptions over his last 2 games.

Puka Nacua should be force-fed targets this week, as he averaged 12 targets per game without Davante Adams last year. He faces the Raiders, who have allowed 2 receiving touchdowns to opposing wide receivers in 3 straight games.
Ja’Marr Chase has recorded at least 100 receiving yards in 4 straight games against the Ravens.

CeeDee Lamb should provide an elite floor this week, as he has recorded at least 70 receiving yards in 5 of his last 6 games against the Eagles.
I’d consider lowering expectations for Amon-Ra St. Brown, who has been held under 60 receiving yards in 4 straight games against the Packers. This is a different Green Bay team, but expect St. Brown to still be peppered with targets.
Expect Malik Nabers to be peppered with targets with J.J. McCarthy playing quarterback. Houston allows the 5th-highest targets per route run (TPRR), meaning opposing receivers have plenty of opportunities to earn targets against this defense.
Drake London will have his work cut out for him against the 49ers, who allow the 5th-fewest yards per route run (YPRR), making this a tough matchup for receiving production. However, San Francisco has allowed a receiving touchdown in 5 straight games, giving London some touchdown upside.

Christian Watson has recorded over 80 receiving yards in 4 of his 7 career games against the Lions.
Zay Flowers faces a tough divisional matchup against the Bengals, who have not allowed an opposing receiver to record over 65 receiving yards in a game this season.
Mike Evans is questionable for this week’s game, but if he’s good to go, his upside is worth the risk of starting him.
Expect Justin Jefferson to have plenty of opportunities to rack up receiving yards against the Colts, who allow the 5th-most yards per route run (YPRR) in the league.
Nico Collins could struggle to reach his elite ceiling against a Giants defense that runs the 3rd-highest rate of man coverage in the league. Collins ranks outside the top 100 in win rate against man coverage this season.

Garrett Wilson has recorded over 50 receiving yards in 3 straight games against the Dolphins.
We could see another big game from both Tetairoa McMillan and Jalen Coker, as the Buccaneers have allowed outside receivers to record at least 85 receiving yards and a touchdown. McMillan lines up outside more often than Coker, giving him the more favorable matchup.
Tee Higgins has enjoyed great success against the Ravens, recording at least 80 receiving yards and 2 touchdowns in 3 of his last 5 matchups.

This could be Jaylen Waddle‘s bounce-back game against the Cardinals, who have allowed opposing WR1s to record over 80 receiving yards in 4 of their last 6 games.
Jameson Williams may struggle to deliver a boom performance this week, as the Packers allow the 2nd-fewest deep throws in the league.
Continue to start Germie Bernard, who is now playing in the slot. Aaron Rodgers has targeted his slot receivers at least 6 times in every game this season.
We could see an uptick in production from Emeka Egbuka with Baker Mayfield potentially returning. Egbuka recorded over 60 receiving yards in 2 of his 3 games with Mayfield but has failed to reach that mark since Mayfield has been out.
A.J. Brown could finally shake off the rust against the Bears, who have allowed an opposing receiver to record over 70 receiving yards and a touchdown in 3 straight games.

Tre Tucker is a player to avoid in Week 7, as the Rams have allowed just 1 receiver to record over 50 receiving yards this season.
Courtland Sutton is an interesting sleeper option against the Cardinals, who allow the most yards per route run (YPRR) in the league. Sutton has struggled in that category this season, but this matchup could help him bounce back.
Malik Washington is an interesting floor play against the Jets, who have allowed opposing receivers to score at least 9 fantasy points in each of their last 3 games.
Jaylin Noel is an intriguing sleeper option in Week 7 against the Giants, who allow the 4th-highest slot target percentage in the league.
Devaughn Vele could struggle to earn targets against the Steelers, who allow the 4th-fewest targets per route run (TPRR) in the league. Vele has also posted borderline TPRR numbers this season, making him a risky play.
Denzel Boston could see an increase in target opportunities against the Titans, who allow the 5th-highest target percentage to outside receivers.

Ryan Flournoy could be an interesting dart throw this week, as he plays the most slot snaps among Cowboys receivers. The Eagles allow the most targets to slot receivers in the league, giving Flournoy an opportunity to see increased targets.
Ja’Kobi Lane is likely a player to avoid in Week 7 against a tough Bengals defense that has shut down opposing fantasy receivers this season.
Marvin Harrison Jr. should see an increased role, but it’s still tough to envision him consistently earning 6 or more targets in a game just yet.
Kendrick Bourne doesn’t offer much sleeper potential against the Broncos, who have allowed just 1 receiver to record over 30 receiving yards this season.

If you’re desperate, you could take a shot on Caleb Douglas or Chris Bell, who are both coming off a bye week. We’ve seen rookies become more involved in their offenses following a bye, so both could be interesting deep sleepers.
If Mike Evans is out, Jordan Watkins‘ big frame and deep-threat ability could make him worth a dart throw in deeper leagues.
Jahan Dotson has been on a bit of a hot streak, recording at least 50 receiving yards in 3 straight games.

Trey McBride should have a good chance to find the end zone in Week 7, as the Broncos have allowed a touchdown to an opposing tight end in 3 of their last 4 games.

Tucker Kraft could be in line for a big game if the Lions continue their struggles against tight ends. Detroit has allowed opposing tight ends to score 2 touchdowns in 4 of its 5 games this season.
Sam LaPorta faces a tough matchup against the Packers, who have held opposing tight ends under 40 receiving yards this season.
Dallas Goedert has struggled against the Cowboys throughout his career, scoring just 1 touchdown and recording over 60 receiving yards only twice in his last 11 matchups against Dallas.

Tyler Warren is questionable for Week 7, but if he plays, I’d keep him ranked in this tier.
T.J. Hockenson has a favorable advanced-stat matchup against the Colts, who allow the 5th-most yards per route run (YPRR) in the league. Hockenson ranks 9th among starting tight ends in YPRR this season, giving him an opportunity to produce.
Juwan Johnson could be in line for another disappointing game if his opportunities continue to decline. The Steelers allow the 4th-fewest targets per route run (TPRR) in the league, and Johnson has seen his targets decrease in each of his last 2 games.

Harold Fannin Jr. could continue to struggle to produce, as the Titans have not allowed an opposing tight end to record over 35 receiving yards this season.
Hunter Henry should be a solid play this week, as the Bears have allowed an opposing tight end to record over 60 receiving yards in back-to-back games.
Tyler Higbee and Colby Parkinson could both be worth starting with Davante Adams out. The Rams’ tight ends tend to see an increase in targets whenever Adams or Puka Nacua misses time.
Jake Ferguson could have limited upside this week, as he has never scored a touchdown against the Eagles in his career.
Mark Andrews has enjoyed plenty of success against the Bengals throughout his career, scoring 8 touchdowns in 15 games. However, he has struggled to produce consistently over the last 2 seasons, making him a riskier option despite his strong history against Cincinnati.

Cade Otton could be an interesting dart throw this week, as the Panthers have allowed an opposing tight end to record over 50 receiving yards in 3 straight games.
Evan Engram is another potential dart throw, as the Cardinals have allowed a touchdown to an opposing tight end in 4 straight games.
