Despite trade conjecture surrounding their best player, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport is reporting that the Tennessee Titans will not trade defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons. One of the league's best defensive players at any position, Simmons is the most sought-after player on a team that is 1-5 and fired its coach this week. The Titans are a long way from contending and figure to move some players before the trade deadline, though it appears that their All-Pro defensive tackle won't be one of them. Headed for another teardown, it looks as if Simmons, 28, is still in the Titans' plans for a rebuild.

Philadelphia Eagles defensive tackle Jalen Carter (heel) is likely to be ready when his team plays the Minnesota Vikings at U.S. Bank Stadium, according to a report from Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. The star defensive lineman missed Week 6 with the injury, but should be back for a Philly defense in search of a rebound following an ugly loss to the New York Giants. Minnesota will be without its starting center, Ryan Kelly (concussion), and possibly right tackle Brian O'Neill (knee), giving the Eagles a decent chance to disrupt an offense led by backup quarterback Carson Wentz.

New York Giants edge rusher Abdul Carter (hamstring) will be a game-time decision to take on the Denver Broncos in Week 7, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. The rookie from Penn State has made the trip to Denver, per Rapoport, but will use pre-game workouts to determine whether he can play through the hamstring ailment. If he responds well, it's possible he could play against a Broncos offense that struggled last week, but managers in IDP should make other plans nonetheless. With a 4:05 p.m. EST kickoff, waiting for Carter's official status is too risky to start him this week.

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (knee, toe) will use Sunday's pre-game workout to determine whether he can play through the injuries, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. The Raiders are once again set to be without tight end Brock Bowers (knee), and could also be without another pass catcher if the veteran receiver is not able to play. Meyers hasn't been a great fantasy option since a productive Week 1, as he's ranked 40th or lower among PPR receivers four weeks in a row. Now facing multiple injuries and a matchup against a strong Kansas City defense, managers should look for other options this week.

New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs (chest) is expected to play when the Pats take on the Tennessee Titans in Week 7, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. The veteran wide receiver has two top-20 finishes in the past three weeks and has started to look like his old self now that he is one year removed from a major knee injury as a member of the Houston Texans. Diggs has 22 targets, 19 catches, and 275 yards in New England's past three games, and now takes on a Titans team ranked 18th against fantasy wide receivers. He's a solid WR2/high-end Flex in Week 7 who can be started in pretty much all formats.

During their first game with an interim coaching staff, the Tennessee Titans plan to "simplify" their offense in an attempt to aid rookie quarterback Cameron Ward, according to a report from ESPN's Adam Schefter. The 2025 No. 1 overall pick is completing just under 55% of his passes for 1,101 yards with three touchdowns and four interceptions through six games, but the Titans are 1-5 and fired head coach Brian Callahan this week. Tennessee is set to take on resurgent New England in Week 7, which should keep Ward, ranked as the No. 33 fantasy quarterback, out of fantasy lineups. At this point, Ward should only be rostered in dynasty formats on a Titans team that is making another strong case to draft first overall.

According to a report from NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, tight end Zach Ertz (shoulder/calf) of the Washington Commanders should be available to play against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday. The veteran tight end is coming off one of his more productive days of the season last week, catching all six of his targets for 43 yards and a touchdown. Ertz's availability is welcome news for Washington, which is ravaged by wide receiver injuries. With Deebo Samuel (heel) and Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) already ruled out and Noah Brown (groin) still on injured reserve, Ertz should have increased volume, making him a great option for leagues that start more than one tight end.

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Darnell Mooney (hamstring) is expected to suit up for Sunday night's matchup with the 49ers despite not practicing on Friday and only gettingin two limited sessions earlier in the week. The 27-year-old suffered a hamstring injury in Week 4 and missed Week 6 despite having a bye to get healthy in Week 5, so even though coach Raheem Morris has stated that he believes Mooney will play, it will be hard to trust thesixth-year wideout for fantasy. If he ultimately plays, the Tulane product will take on a San Francisco defense that has been very susceptible to the pass as of late, allowing the fourth-most passing yards per game over the last three weeks without pass rusher Nick Bosa (knee) and linebacker Fred Warner (ankle), who are both out for the season. Mooney has plenty of competition for targets in this offense, with Drake London, Kyle Pitts Sr., and Bijan Robinson accounting for nearly 70 percent of the target share in 2025, leaving the veteran receiver as a risky WR5 this week. With it being the Sunday night game as well, fantasy managers may want to consider other options in the event he's ruled out prior to game time.

From RotoBaller

New England Patriots WR Stefon Diggs (chest), who is listed as questionable, is expected to play against the Tennessee Titans in Week 7, according to a source.

Fantasy Spin: Drake Maye has been coming into his own in recent weeks, and Diggs has topped 100 yards in two of the last three games. With Diggs on track to play, he can be deployed as a WR3 or flex option.

Detroit Lions wide receiver Kalif Raymond (personal) missed his team's Saturday practice for personal reasons, but he will not carry any designation into Detroit's Week 7 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Monday night. Raymond has seen his role in the team's offense shrink over the past two weeks. He suffered a neck injury that forced him to exit Detroit's Week 5 contest against the Cincinnati Bengals early. However, he was able to suit up in Week 6 against the Kansas City Chiefs and played just two offensive snaps. Even in what profiles as a high-scoring matchup against the Buccaneers, Raymond appears unlikely to see many opportunities in the passing game. He should remain off the radar of fantasy managers in Week 7.

From RotoBaller

Detroit Lions rookie wide receiver Isaac TeSlaa played a season-high 46% of his team's offensive snaps in Week 6 against the Kansas City Chiefs. However, the 23-year-old failed to earn a target, marking the third time in his last four games that TeSlaa has not recorded a reception. TeSlaa has flashed a high upside at certain points this season, as two of his three catches have gone for touchdowns. Still, he's impossible for fantasy managers to trust as a starter, even heading into a favorable Week 7 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Tampa Bay currently ranks 23rd in the NFL in passing yards allowed (1,520), and Lions quarterback Jared Goff attempted 55 passes in his last matchup against the Buccaneers in Week 2 of the 2024 season. TeSlaa could avoid being blanked for a second straight game should the Lions be forced into a pass-heavy game script in Week 7, but he should remain out of the starting lineups of fantasy managers.

Detroit Lions kicker Jake Bates has benefited from his team's high-powered offense through the first six weeks of the season, as Bates has both attempted and made the most extra-point tries (24) in the NFL. The 26-year-old has also knocked in seven of nine field goal attempts. The Lions will face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 7 in what looks on paper like a high-scoring affair. The two teams are currently averaging a combined 59.3 points per contest. Bates will also have the advantage in Week 7 of kicking at home inside the domed Ford Field, so weather will not play a factor in the kicking game. Bates profiles as a must-start kicker in Week 7 against Tampa Bay.

Detroit Lions tight end Sam LaPorta has surged over the past two weeks, recording 10 catches for 147 yards and two touchdowns on 12 targets after hauling in 16 catches for 177 yards and zero touchdowns on 21 targets in his first four games played. LaPorta and the Lions will face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 7 in a game that looks like it could turn into a shootout. Tampa Bay currently ranks 23rd in the NFL in passing yards allowed (1,520). Detroit will be without both starting safeties and its top two corners, so the offense could be under immense pressure to keep putting points on the board. LaPorta profiles as a must-start fantasy tight end in Week 7 against the Buccaneers.

Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown has been a consistent producer so far this season, hauling in 44 catches for 452 yards and six touchdowns on 51 targets through six games. The 25-year-old has recorded at least seven targets and seven catches in five straight contests. St. Brown could be set up for another high-volume day in Week 7, as the Lions will take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in a game that profiles as a shootout. The Bucs currently rank 23rd in the NFL in passing yards allowed (1,520) and have allowed the fourth-most receptions of 40-plus yards (four). The last time these two teams squared off in Week 2 of the 2024 season, St. Brown earned a whopping 18 targets, hauling in 11 catches for 119 yards. He profiles as a must-start fantasy wide receiver in Week 7 against Tampa Bay.

From RotoBaller

Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams had his best game of the season in Week 6 against the Kansas City Chiefs, hauling in six catches for 66 yards and a touchdown on seven targets. Williams could be well-positioned to build on his breakout Week 6 game in Week 7 when the Lions take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Tampa Bay currently ranks 23rd in the NFL in passing yards allowed (1,520) and has allowed the fourth-most receptions of 40-plus yards (four). In the most recent meeting between these two teams in Week 2 of the 2024 season, Williams was targeted a career-high 11 times and recorded five catches for 79 yards. He profiles as a high-upside WR3/flex option for fantasy managers in Week 7.

Detroit Lions running back David Montgomery earned just four carries and two receptions in the team's Week 6 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, the second time in his last three games that Montgomery has logged single-digit touches. The Lions are reportedly making it a focus to get the ball into Montgomery's hands more often heading into their Week 7 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. However, Tampa Bay is currently allowing the fifth-fewest yards per carry (3.7) in the NFL so far this season, so it could be tough sledding on Monday night for Montgomery. When these two teams faced off in Week 2 of the 2024 season, Montgomery logged just 35 rushing yards on 11 carries, although he did haul in four catches for 35 yards. Montgomery is still a decent bet to find the end zone even if he struggles from a yardage perspective, which makes him a high-end flex option for fantasy managers in Week 7.

From RotoBaller

Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs has been a featured piece in his team's offense all season long, recording 502 yards from scrimmage and five touchdowns on 110 total touches. However, Gibbs has seen his role in the passing game decrease in recent games. After earning 19 targets across the first three weeks of the season, he's seen just six over the last three. If Gibbs is not featured as a receiver in Week 7, he may have a difficult time producing against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Tampa Bay currently ranks fifth in the NFL in yards per carry allowed. If there's a bright spot for Gibbs, it's that he logged seven receptions in Detroit's Week 2 matchup against Tampa Bay last season. The 23-year-old still profiles as a must-start fantasy running back in Week 7, even in a less-than-ideal matchup against the Buccaneers.

According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs is considered "a true game-time decision" for the week 7 meeting with the Arizona Cardinals. He's still listed as questionable. However, Schefter added that the team won't know if the veteran can suit up until Sunday. Jacobs has played well throughout the 2025 campaign, amassing 359 yards and six touchdowns off 98 carries while catching 15 passes for 176 yards. Without question, his absence would be a tough blow for fantasy managers. If that's the case, Emanuel Wilson will be in line for more work and should draw streaming interest for the favorable matchup versus Arizona.

Through six weeks, Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff leads the NFL in both completion percentage (75.9%) and touchdown passes (14). The Lions were held to just 17 points by the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 6, but the team is still averaging 31.8 points per contest. Detroit will host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 7 in a matchup that looks on paper like it should be a shootout. The Bucs currently rank 23rd in the NFL in passing yards allowed (1,520) and have allowed the fourth-most receptions of 40-plus yards (four). The Lions will go into the game without both starting safeties and their two top cornerbacks, so the pressure could be on Goff and the offense to keep the pedal to the metal from start to finish. Goff profiles as a solid fantasy starter in single-quarterback formats in Week 7 against Tampa Bay.

According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray (foot), who is not expected to play in Sunday's game against the Packers, is in line to return for the Monday night meeting with the Cowboys on November 3, after the team's Week 8 bye. Murray appeared to have a chance to suit up in Week 7. However, the Cardinals will give him a few more weeks to heal. Assuming Murray is officially ruled out, Jacoby Brissett will be back under center after throwing for 320 yards, two touchdowns, and one pick off 27-for-44 passing in the loss to the Colts in Week 6. With a difficult matchup on the horizon versus a tough Packers defense, Brissett isn't the safest fantasy option in most formats. Still, with so many injuries at the position, he will have some value for those participating in Superflex setups.
