Zachariah Branch has no targets in NFL debut

Brissett struggled to get the deep ball going in this game and was largely stuck dinking and dunking his way down the field. He averaged a measly 5.7 yards per attempt while completing 56.3 percent of his passes. Brissett hasn’t averaged seven yards per attempt in a game since Week 1. Even worse is the fact that he’s taking bone-crushing hits more than ever. Brissett injured his non-throwing hand while taking a sack late in the second quarter but never missed any time with the issue. We expect him to make an appearance on the injury report this week. Head coach Mike LaFleur told reporters after the game that Brissett remains the starter, meaning he’ll take on a terrible Dallas defense next week. He will be a priority streamer for Week 8.

Bourne and Jalen Brooks each saw six targets, though neither was awfully productive. Brooks weny for 35 yards but only caught one pass. Bourne brought down half of his targets at a dreadful 1.5 yards per target. Bourne will hold a slight edge in the Week 8 rankings when Arizona takes on Dallas, but neither Arizona WR2 will be more than a desparation FLEX play.

Jacoby Brissett once again tried to get Wilson going downfield, but the best he could muster was 16 yards on their longest connection. Without a long play to juice the box score, Wilson was held under 10 PPR points for the third week in a row. All three of those games have been on the heels of the Marvin Harrison Jr. trade. The target totals have held steady, but the production is lacking. The good news for Wilson is that he gets the Cowboys in Week 8. Facing one of the league’s worst pass defenses, Wilson will stick in the WR2 ranks next week.

The Cardinals couldn’t get much going on offense, but that’s not a problem for McBride. He accounted for 27 percent of the team’s targets and was the only Cardinal to find the end zone on the day. McBride did so on a seven-yard strike from Brissett in the third quarter. Despite posting weekly TE1 numbers, this is McBride’s first 100-yard outing of the season. Facing a laughable Dallas defense next week, McBride will likely clock in as the TE1 overall in the weekly rankings.

Moton returned in Week 6 from offseason blood clot treatment but will now miss the remainder of the 2027 season after fracturing his fibula in the Week 7 loss to the Buccaneers. The Carolina offensive line depth takes another hit as they look to salvage a sinking season. Expect rookie Monroe Freeling to enter the starting lineup at left tackle.

As usual, Washington was far more efficient than lead back Ashton Jeanty, who had 15 yards on eight carries while catching eight passes for 61 yards and a touchdown. Washington can be stashed for now in case Jeanty misses time in the second half of the season. Washington likely won’t get the pass-catching work if Jeanty misses time, however.

The Sun God didn’t find the end zone in this one, but he did rip off multiple big gains, which included plays of 28 and 40 yards on the Lions’ first two drives — both of which ended with points. St. Brown’s 11 targets led all Lions’ pass-catchers in this one, and his 153 receiving yards are good for the fifth-most he has had in any game in his career. It’s the first time in his career that ARSB has gone for 140-plus yards but failed to score a touchdown, but this was easily one of his best games to date this season. St. Brown hasn’t scored since Week 3’s game against the Jets, but he has gone for 69 or more yards in each of his last three games while seeing 11 targets in every outing. He continues to be as steady a fantasy asset there is at receiver, and will be in the WR1 mix in Week 8 against the Vikings.

Williams wasted little time getting involved early in this one. On the Lions’ fifth play of the game, he ripped off a 24-yard gain to the ball to the Packers’ 16-yard line. On the next play, Williams came in motion and snuck out of the Lions’ backfield to turn a short pass into a 16-yard score, giving the Lions their first points of the day. Williams would find the end zone again in the third quarter on a 10-yard touchdown, and on the following drive, he nearly scored again were it not for a Packers defender knocking him out of the back of the end zone on a catch. Williams’ big-play ability was on display all night, as three of his five receptions went for 15-plus yards. Williams now has back-to-back two-touchdown performances to his name and has gone for 90-plus yards in two of his last three games. His volume continues to be inconsistent, but Williams is capable of breaking any game open at a moment’s notice. He will be a fringe WR2/WR2 in what could be a tough Week 8 matchup against the Vikings.
