The three points tied the fewest scored in a start in Mahomes’ career as the Chiefs suffered their first defeat of the season. Mahomes faced consistent pressure and a shrinking pocket as the Seahawks held the Chiefs to just 213 yards of total offense, who also forced an ill-advised turnover as Mahomes tried to escape pressure, over-throwing his intended receiver. The Chiefs fall to 5-1 with the defeat, leaving only the Vikings as the lone unbeaten team through seven weeks. Mahomes gets little time to lick his wounds with the division rival Broncos on the horizon in Week 8, where he’ll be a low end QB1 in another difficult matchup.

Shaheed was involved in a collision with teammate Jaxon Smith-Njigba in the end zone on an interception in the waning moments of the first half and did not retake the field out of the break. Tory Horton received the kickoff to begin the second half, after which Shaheed was deemed questionable to return with a knee injury. Expect Cooper Kupp and Horton to see a small bump in opportunity behind Smith-Njigba for the remainder of the game. Shaheed caught 2-of-3 targets for one yard prior to departing.

Nacua, dealing with a calf injury, didn’t appear to be 100 percent but still got by just fine against a beatable Vegas secondary. He caught one of Matthew Stafford’s three touchdowns and led the Rams offense with ten targets. Nacua has a good chance of leading the NFL in targets for the remainder of the season with Davante Adams (hamstring) out indefinitely. His role in the LA offense makes Nacua one of the most dangerous fantasy options in the game. He gets the Chargers secondary in Week 8.

After complaining about the team’s backfield split last week, Williams was out-carried by Blake Corum, 17 to 16, with Corum scoring a touchdown and having two TDs called back on penalties. Though Williams lost a fumble in the second half, the Rams leaned on him late in the fourth quarter following a short-lived Vegas comeback. He ran 18 pass routes to eight routes for Corum — a season long trend that makes Williams less sensitive to game script than Corum. Williams will be a locked-in top-15 running back option next week against the Chargers.

The Rams in Week 7 resorted to a heavy dose of three tight end sets with Davante Adams sidelined with a long-term hamstring injury. That led to 12 pass routes for Allen, fewer than both Colby Parkinson and Tyler Higbee. He caught two red zone touchdowns from Matthew Stafford, however, seeing a look on 33 percent of his routes. Allen will be tough to trust as a fantasy option unless or until his snaps and routes increase. He could be a deep league option in Week 8 against the Chargers, however.

Golden’s 12 targets led all Packers receivers, but the speedster was unable to convert them into anything meaningful. Of the 12 targets Golden saw, four came on passes of 20-plus air yards. He managed to secure one of those passes for a 22-yard gain, but that was all he could manage in what ended up being a relatively low-scoring game despite the two teams combining for over 700 offensive yards. The 39 yards Golden posted on Sunday were good for his second-lowest total of the season, but he’s an air-yards king who is seeing the kind of volume we expect of a true WR1. He’s primed for a bounce-back in next week’s game against the Panthers.

Cousins, as per usual, did next to nothing before the Raiders got down by multiple scores in the second half. He ends with a pretty solid fantasy line thanks to a couple long connections with fellow garbage time merchant Tre Tucker, who led the Raiders with 108 yards and a score. Cousins’ other score went to the Raiders’ backfield garbage time merchant Ashton Jeanty. Cousins now has multiple touchdown throws in six of his seven games in 2026. The Fernando Mendoza clock is nearing midnight as the uncompetitive Raiders flounder and Cousins looks more washed by the week. If he still has the starting job by Week 8, Cousins will be a decent streaming option against the Jets.

Bowers seemed to be battling some sort of minor injury for most of the game, missing a few high leverage plays while staying loose on the sideline. Bowers was second on the team in targets behind Tre Tucker (12), who did most of his damage in garbage time. Bowers, who has at least nine targets in every game this season, has as high a weekly floor as any tight end in recent memory. Hopefully he’ll be able to explore some of his upside in Week 8 against the Jets.

Kraft found the end zone on a 14-yard touchdown near the end of the second quarter, giving him his second touchdown of the season and his first since Week 4 against the Buccaneers. Kraft has seen six or more targets in four of his last five games and has posted double-digit PPR points in three of his last four. Even when he isn’t finding the end zone, his volume, coupled with his big-play ability, is enough to keep him in the TE1 conversation. Kraft gets a nice matchup next week against the Panthers on Thursday night.

Jacobs saw 18 opportunities come his way in his return from the Commissioner’s Exempt List. He played on 35 offensive snaps compared to MarShawn Lloyd’s 22, but did little to solve the Packers’ woes in the run game. Jacobs managed a forgettable 26 yards on the ground on 11 carries, but was solid in the passing game. His biggest play came in the third quarter when he turned a short pass from Jordan Love upfield for a 25-yard touchdown, tightroping along the sidelines as he attempted to stay in bounds and reach the end zone. Head coach Matt LaFleur suggested Jacobs would be “limited” to about 30 plays in his first game of the season, but his 35 snaps are on par with the 36.8 snaps per game he averaged last season. We would certainly expect him to handle more of the rushing work in the weeks ahead, but this felt like a fairly normal day for Jacobs. He will be a fringe RB1/RB2 play next week against the Panthers.
