Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson has quickly become one of quarterback Dak Prescott's favorite targets in the passing game, and it didn't hurt that he wore his QB's high-school jersey to the stadium as a show of good faith. In the 44-22 blowout victory over the Washington Commanders in Week 7 on Sunday, Ferguson caught all seven of his targets for only 29 yards, but he found the end zone twice to bring his season total to six. In a high-volume Cowboys passing offense, the 26-year-old has developed some nice chemistry with Prescott this year. Ferguson has exactly seven receptions in three of the last four weeks, and all six of his touchdowns on the season have come in the last four games. His ceiling will likely be lowered now that top wideout CeeDee Lamb has returned from a high-ankle sprain, but Ferguson's red-zone prowess should continue, making him a weekly TE1 for fantasy managers in what has been a high-scoring offense.

The Kansas City Chiefs said that wide receiver Rashee Rice was going to be heavily involved in the offensive game plan in his season debut in Week 7 against the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday after serving his six-game suspension, and they were not lying. Rice picked up right where he left off last year, securing seven of his 10 targets for 42 yards and his first two touchdowns of 2025 in the team's 31-0 blowout win over the Raiders. The 25-year-old led the team in targets and catches on the day and reminded everyone why he was quarterback Patrick Mahomes' favorite target in the passing game last year before he suffered a season-ending knee injury. Rice's longest catch of the game only went for 12 yards, but fantasy managers have to be very pleased with what they saw from him in his season debut. Now that he's back from suspension, Rice should be locked and loaded into all starting fantasy lineups for a Monday night matchup in Week 8 against the Washington Commanders and their porous secondary.

The San Francisco 49ers have been as banged up as any team in the NFL this year, but they can beat any team in the league as long as star running back Christian McCaffrey is healthy. McCaffrey once again dominated offensive touches for San Fran in Sunday night's victory over the visiting Atlanta Falcons in Week 7, touching the football 31 times for 201 scrimmage yards and two touchdowns. The 29-year-old do-it-all back had a season-high 24 carries for 129 rushing yards (his first 100-yard game of 2025) and added two rushing scores, as an improved Falcons defense had no answers for him. CMC added seven catches on eight targets for 72 receiving yards. McCaffrey has been the Niners' leading receiver this year and has three receiving touchdowns and three rushing TDs as a balanced offensive threat like few others in the league. Despite another tough test in Week 8 against the Houston Texans' defense, CMC continues to be a must-start, elite RB1 in fantasy football.

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Xavier Legette had the best game of his career in Sunday's 13-6 win over the hosting New York Jets at MetLife Stadium in Week 7, catching nine of his 11 targets for 92 yards and his second touchdown of the year. Legette surprisingly led the team in targets, catches, and yards on a day where quarterback Bryce Young left with an ankle injury and didn't return. The 24-year-old former first-rounder in 2024 only had eight grabs on 20 targets for 50 yards and a touchdown in four games coming into Week 7 action. While Sunday was encouraging for the second-year wideout, fantasy managers in 12-team leagues will want to see more of this from Legette before seriously considering him off the waiver wire. Fellow receiver Jalen Coker made his season debut in this one after recovering from a quad injury, but he didn't have a catch on two target. Coker should be more involved in the game plan moving forward, though, and could challenge Legette for WR2 duties behind rookie first-rounder Tetairoa McMillan.

Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift is on a roll as the team's feature back. In the 26-14 win over the visiting New Orleans Saints on Sunday in Week 7, Swift carried the ball a season-high 19 times and ran for a season-high 124 yards while also scoring his third rushing touchdown of the year. He added one catch on his only target for a 14-yard gain. The Bears leaned heavily on their backfield in this one, with rookie Kyle Monongai also seeing 13 carries that he took for 81 yards and a touchdown. The 26-year-old Swift was extremely efficient with his opportunities against New Orleans, and he's been a big part of head coach Ben Johnson's offense all year, seeing at least 12 rushing attempts in all six of his games so far in 2025. The Bears have now won four games in a row and will look to make it five in Week 8 against the Baltimore Ravens. Swift will look to make it three straight 100-yard rushing games in that contest against the Ravens' suspect defense.

Dynasty | Colts running back Jonathan Taylor had 94 rushing yards, three catches, 38 receiving yards, and three touchdowns in a win against the Chargers. Dynasty Analysis: It was Taylor's second three touchdown game in the past three weeks and gives him ten rushing scores on the season. In short, Taylor is putting together an MVP level season and has been a one-man wrecking crew since week one. With Daniel Jones playing the best football of his career, Taylor has a chance to be the overall RB1 this season. He's currently nearly untouchable in dynasty leagues.

Dynasty | Commanders running back Jacory Croskey-Merritt had just 33 rushing yards in a loss to the Cowboys. Dynasty Analysis: He "added" one catch for -1 yard on the day. This was a brutally disappointing day for the rookie, who dynasty managers were hoping to see put up a big day against a Dallas defense that's been awful this season. Instead, the Commanders fell behind and were forced to throw for much of the day. "Bill" still has a lot of fantasy appeal but the breakout really has yet to happen, making him more of a flex option at the moment.

Dynasty | Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb had five catches for 110 yards and a touchdown in a win against Washington. Dynasty Analysis: We actually expected more as Lamb did all of his damage in the first half. Still, he looked healthy and took right back over as the WR1 immediately. Lamb is a candidate for the overall WR1 each and every week (and for the season). Any chance to add him on the cheap has clearly passed.

After missing three games due to a high-ankle sprain, Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb returned to the field in Week 7 and showed little sign of rust. Lamb recorded five catches for 110 yards and a touchdown on eight targets in his team's 44-22 win over the Washington Commanders. The 26-year-old has now hauled in 21 catches for 332 yards and a score on 32 targets across four games played, one of which he was forced to leave very early on after injuring his ankle. The Cowboys' offense is averaging over 250 passing yards and 30 points per game so far this season, which should put Lamb in a position for monster production on a week-to-week basis. Now that he's back on the field and appears fully healthy, Lamb is a must-start fantasy wide receiver heading into his team's Week 8 matchup against the Denver Broncos.

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones continued his solid start to the 2025 season in Week 7, completing 23 of 34 pass attempts for 288 yards and two touchdowns in his team's 38-24 win over the Los Angeles Chargers. Jones has been consistently efficient through his first seven games with the Colts, recording 1,790 passing yards and 10 passing touchdowns while completing over 70% of his pass attempts. With Jones under center, Indianapolis has been one of the NFL's best offenses, scoring at least 31 points in five out of seven games. Based on what he has shown so far, Jones should be in the conversation as a starting fantasy quarterback on a week-to-week basis. He'll get a favorable matchup in Week 8, when the Colts host the Tennessee Titans.

New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye continued to prove he's one of the best young players in the NFL by dominating the Tennessee Titans in Week 7 and leading his team to a 31-13 win. Maye completed 21 of 23 pass attempts for 222 yards and two touchdowns, adding eight rush attempts for 62 yards as well. The 23-year-old has now thrown for 1,744 yards and 12 touchdowns while also rushing for 200 yards and two touchdowns through his first seven games of 2025. He's topped 250 total yards in every week but one so far this season. Maye looks every bit like a must-start fantasy quarterback heading into a Week 8 matchup with the Cleveland Browns.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen had a huge day in his team's Week 7 loss to the Indianapolis Colts, recording 11 catches for 119 yards and a touchdown on 14 targets. Allen was one of the beneficiaries of the Chargers' high-volume passing day, as Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert attempted 55 passes. The 33-year-old Allen has now hauled in 44 receptions for 435 yards and four touchdowns on 65 targets across seven games this season. With Los Angeles currently playing without its top running back, Omarion Hampton (ankle), the team could continue to find itself in pass-heavy game scripts. That would be a recipe for fantasy success for Allen and the rest of the Chargers' pass-catchers. Los Angeles will have a short week in Week 8, as they play the Minnesota Vikings on Thursday night.

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott played a clean game in his team's 44-22 Week 7 win over the Washington Commanders, completing 21 of 30 pass attempts for 264 yards, three touchdowns, and zero interceptions. Prescott's Cowboys are now averaging 31.7 points per game so far this season. Through seven games, Prescott has thrown for 1,881 yards and 16 touchdowns. He will face perhaps his toughest test so far this season in Week 8 when Dallas travels to Denver to take on the Broncos. Still, Prescott is playing at a high level and will be difficult for fantasy managers to go away from, even in a difficult matchup.

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts had his best performance of the season as a passer in his team's 28-22 Week 7 win over the Minnesota Vikings. The 27-year-old completed 19 of 23 pass attempts for 326 yards, three touchdowns, and zero interceptions. Quietly, Hurts has now thrown for at least 280 yards in each of his team's last three games after topping 200 passing yards just once in his first four contests. For the season, Hurts has now recorded 1,498 passing yards and 11 passing touchdowns while adding 185 yards and five touchdowns as a rusher. He remains a must-start fantasy quarterback heading into a Week 8 matchup at home against the New York Giants.

Arizona Cardinals tight end Trey McBride has proven over the last two games that he doesn't need starting quarterback Kyler Murray (foot) to produce for his fantasy managers. In fact, he's been better in Weeks 6 and 7 while working with veteran backup Jacoby Brissett. In the 27-23 loss to the visiting Green Bay Packers on Sunday, McBride caught a season-high 10 passes on 13 targets for 74 yards and two touchdowns as Arizona's leading receiver. The 25-year-old tight end also went off while working with Brissett in last week's loss to the Indianapolis Colts, catching eight of 11 targets for 72 yards and a touchdown. So McBride now has 18 receptions for 146 yards and three touchdowns on 24 targets and three touchdowns with Murray sidelined the last two games. Fantasy managers might be bummed that Murray could be returning following Arizona's Week 8 bye, but McBride is without a doubt a set-and-forget TE1 in fantasy football.

New York Giants linebacker Brian Burns (foot), who is the NFL's sack leader with nine, was wearing a walking boot on his right foot in the locker room on Sunday following the team's heartbreaking 33-32 loss on the road to the Denver Broncos in Week 7, according to Connor Hughes of SNY. In the wild loss on Sunday, Burns was able to take quarterback Bo Nix down twice while adding four solo tackles and three tackles for loss. While the Giants have other strong pass-rushers, including rookie Abdul Carter and Kayvon Thibodeaux, losing Burns for an extended period of time would be a big blow to their defense. The 27-year-old Burns has played the most defensive snaps for the Giants through seven games and has been a must-start in IDP fantasy formats this year. We should know more about Burns' injury on Monday or Tuesday, but his status is certainly up in the air for a divisional rematch next Sunday against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Las Vegas Raiders star edge rusher Maxx Crosby (knee), who was pulled from the Week 7 blowout loss to the Kansas City Chiefs early on Sunday as a precaution, should be "OK moving forward," a source told Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. The 28-year-old All-Pro was injured in the second quarter and did not return in the 31-0 drubbing. Not only is Crosby's injury not considered serious, but he'll have extra time to recover during the team's bye in Week 8 before potentially returning to face the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 9. It's good news for the struggling Raiders and for fantasy managers in IDP leagues that are counting on Crosby the rest of the way. Crosby was a disappointment on Sunday with only three tackles (one solo) before getting hurt, but he should be ready to go coming out of next week's bye. The four-time Pro Bowler came into Week 7 action with only four sacks and 17 solo tackles in six games played.

Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels (hamstring) will undergo an MRI on Monday, according to head coach Dan Quinn. Daniels exited Sunday's loss against the Cowboys after taking a sack early in the third quarter. He did not return to the contest, sparking plenty of concern about his fantasy football outlook going forward. Unfortunately for fantasy managers, Quinn didn't have much of an update postgame, other than confirming that the quarterback's injury is significant enough to require additional testing. We'll likely receive more information Monday on the specifics of Daniels' injury, including whether he'll miss any time. If the former No. 2 pick can't suit up in Week 8 against the Kansas City Chiefs, Marcus Mariota would be in line to make his third start of the season.

Los Angeles Chargers rookie tight end Oronde Gadsden caught seven of his nine targets for 164 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's Week 7 loss to the Indianapolis Colts. The highlight of his game was a 53-yard catch on the second play of the third quarter, but his 15-yard touchdown was impressive, too. The rookie has broken out recently, catching 14 passes for 232 yards and a touchdown over his last two contests. He is the overall TE1 in PPR leagues over the last two weeks. Although that's a relatively small sample size to assess, Sunday's big game showed that Gadsden's sudden success is no fluke. He should continue to operate as a primary target for Justin Herbert, giving him high-end TE2 appeal with TE1 upside.

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray (foot) will be the team's starter when he is healthy enough to play, according to head coach Jonathan Gannon. The Cardinals are 0-2 in Murray's absence under Jacoby Brissett, but they've played close games against two tough teams, sparking at least a little bit of quarterback discussion. Furthermore, during that two-week span, Brissett has completed 65 percent of his passes for 599 yards, four touchdowns, one interception, and one lost fumble. The Cardinals have a Week 8 bye, with a very real chance for Murray to return to the lineup in Week 9 against the Dallas Cowboys. If he's active for that game, Murray would be a low-end QB1 given Dallas' tendency to engage in high-scoring shootouts.
