  • CLE Quarterback #4
    Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
    Watson again led the Browns to a heart-stopping fourth quarter comeback after the Titans tied the game late in the fourth quarter. Watson connected with Harold Fannin for a long gain that put the Browns in field goal range before they won the game at the buzzer. Watson targeted KC Concepcion a team high ten times, mostly on well-designed short area passes. He was 7 percent over his expected completion rate — one of his best rates of the 2026 season. Watson rushed for a touchdown in the second half after being flushed out of the pocket; it was his first rushing score of the season. Watson, who now has two straight games without a passing score, should remain in superflex lineups next week against a pass-funnel Pittsburgh defense.
  • TEN Quarterback #1
    Ward did his best game manager impression in this one and made a handful of solid high-leverage throws using various arm angles. He had a positive EPA per drop back and was slightly over his expected completion rate, small victories being what they are. The Titans deployed no-huddle for much of the game and operated at a quick pace — a strategy that seemed to get Ward into some sort of rhythm early on. Ward’s accuracy issues showed up on the fourth quarter when he sailed a pass over the head of a wide open tight end who had beaten the entire Cleveland secondary. It would’ve likely been a game-winning touchdown. Ward has now cracked 200 passing yards just once through Week 7 and should only be rostered in superflex formats.
  • CLE Running Back #10
    Judkins took full advantage of a Titans defense that has struggled to stop the run in recent weeks. He broke tackles on a couple of his longest runs and made decisive cuts in the open field on well-designed rushing attempts. It was Judkins’ second career 100-yard day and his second and third touchdowns of the season. Dylan Sampson, in his first action of the 2026 season, saw six carries for 45 yards and ran 19 routes to 13 routes for Judkins. As long as game script remains neutral or positive, Judkins should be a viable flex play in Week 8 against the Steelers.
  • NYG Running Back #44
    Skattebo looked rejuvenated after his benching, bulldozing a few Houston tacklers on his touchdown run that ended with a backflip. He did pull up late on a 42-yarder that could have sealed the game, and he seemed to be gesturing towards his hamstring on the sideline. We don’t have a full update on that as the Giants quickly closed out the game thereafter, but Skattebo will get a bye week to heal up as we try to figure out how this Giants backfield will sort itself out. Skattebo’s fantasy value looks to have bounced back to some real extent today.
  • TEN Wide Receiver #14
    It was another solid if unspectacular outing for the rookie. The Titans operated a fast-pace offense through much of the game against Cleveland, using no-huddle for long stretches of the ballgame. That seemed to put Cam Ward in some sort of rhythm — to the benefit of a few Titans skill position players. Tate now has at least six receptions in three of his past four outings. Tate, who entered the week with a 46 percent air yards share and a 25 percent target share, is an every-week starter who could be a WR3 option next week against a pass-funnel Bengals defense.
  • CLE Wide Receiver
    Boston was third in targets among Browns pass catchers and saw lots and lots of air yards from Deshaun Watson, who nearly connected with Boston for two long touchdowns on the day. So it goes with a high-variance downfield option like Boston, who now has three straight quiet outings. With a 45 percent air yards share headed into Week 7, Boston will certainly have his big box scores in the coming weeks. Predicting when that might happen will be tough for fantasy managers. He should be a flex play in Week 8 against the Steelers.
  • CLE Wide Receiver #1
    The Browns slot man shredded the Tennessee secondary from start to finish. Coming into the game with a season-high of 64 receiving yards, Concepcion eclipsed that mark in the second quarter and didn’t look back. He continually shed tacklers against a low-effort Titans defense and functioned as the centerpiece of the Cleveland passing game. He led the Browns in targets, mostly seeing designed short-area throws from Deshaun Watson. In a Browns offense with a top-10 neutral pass rate, Concepcion should be a weekly top-36 option in PPR formats. He’ll get the Steelers in Week 8.
  • TEN Running Back #20
    Pollard, whose last big game before Sunday was against these same Browns in 2025, scored two first quarter touchdowns against a Cleveland rush defense that seemed uninterested in tackling Pollard. He scored a third rushing touchdown in the fourth quarter, and could have had a fourth score if not for a Browns goal line stand. Pollard has seen big workloads with Tyjae Spears (knee) sidelined but hadn’t done much with the opportunity before Sunday. The Titans offense operated quickly, using no-huddle through much of the game. That created more play volume that benefited Pollard and the rest of the Titans offense. As long as Spears remains sidelined, Pollard should remain in 12-team lineups next week against the Bengals.
  • MIN Quarterback #1
    The story of the Vikings season has been a vaunted defense with a mediocre offense. That remained true in Week 7, with the Minnesota offense scoring just one touchdown on a Kyler Murray five-yard toss to T.J. Hockenson. Murray averaged 6.3 yards per attempt and struggled to connect with open receivers much of the day. He added 39 yards as a rusher, most of those coming on a 35-yard scamper prior to his passing touchdown. Murray came up limping after a second quarter play but did not miss any plays and finished the game. He threw an end zone interception in the second quarter, but the defender was ruled out of bounds. On the flip side, Murray nearly had Jauan Jennings for a long passing touchdown in the second quarter, but Jennings failed to haul it in. Murray is a high-variance fantasy quarterback due to his rushing upside, but his passing ability remains poor and caps his ceiling. He will be in the fantasy QB2 ranks for a soft Week 8 matchup against the Lions.
  • LA Wide Receiver #12
    Start him. The Rams clearly feel comfortable with their superstar playing today, and we should too. Nacua’s upside is too high for him to remain on fantasy football benches. Reporting on Nacua’s ailment suggests he is not necessarily dealing with a strain. It can perhaps be best described as muscle fatigue, though we are doctors here at Rotoworld. Re-injury is possible, but we can safely expect him to handle a large workload whenever he is on the field. Nacua is a high-end WR1.
