Adams appeared in all 17 games last year, one of which was credited as a start. While he can occasionally pitch in on defense, Adams’ specialty is special teams. He led the league with 435 special teams snaps. Adams also logged 10 tackles on special teams plus a handful more on defense. He will be locked into a high-volume role on special teams for the Giants.

Love was limited on Wednesday before upgrading to full on Thursday. Packers coach Matt LaFleur told reporters that his starting quarterback was “pretty beat up” after the Packers’ Week 6 win over the Cowboys. Hopefully, he is feeling much better by now. This divisional showdown looks like one of the most fantasy-friendly game environments in Week 7. He’s a QB1.

Edmunds will presumably be placed on IR before Week 7’s game against the Texans. He managed a 52.0 PFF grade in 380 snaps over six games, recording two sacks and 50 combined tackles. Edmunds will enter year two of his three-year deal with the Giants in 2027, in what will be his age-29 season.

Johnson is not fantasy-relevant on his own, but he can help out the Giants’ offense in real life when he is available. Isaiah Likely is the Giants’ clear-cut TE1.

Thomas has played through injuries in multiple games this year. Giants RT Jermaine Eluemunor (calf) and backup OT Marcus Mbow (knee) both resumed practicing in a limited capacity on Thursday and are officially questionable to play this week. The Texans’ defense has underperformed this year. Perhaps this is a get-right matchup for them.

After three full sessions this week, Branch is expected to be activated off reserve/PUP and should have no snap count per DC Kelvin Sheppard. He can be welcomed back to IDP lineups.

Questionable but fully expected to play after three full practices, Mays should add some more teeth to the Lions’ run game.

Sigh. Three-player backfields are generally fantasy-unfriendly situations, and this one is no different. Skattebo is a capable dual-threat player who has seemingly been limited by the significant ankle injury he suffered last year. The Giants could get him more involved in the passing game, but Tracy can contribute there as well, muddying that opportunity. Singletary would not be a contributor for many NFL teams, but lucky him, he’s a New York Giant. Skattebo and Tracy are viable FLEX options, though both are likely touchdown-dependent.

He practiced in full twice on Thursday and Friday. With Ja’Kobi Lane eating into his targets and the Bengals ever-vulnerable through the air by tight ends, Bateman is probably only a deep-league play in Week 7.

He’ll be a reliable TE1, even in a tough matchup against Seattle’s defense, as the Chiefs simply don’t have many other Trusted Mahomes Targets healthy for this one. It’s essentially just Kelce and Xavier Worthy healthy of Kansas City’s main targets.

Spears has been active off a questionable line twice since Week 4. We’d imagine he’d get there again after a limited Friday session. The touch upside just isn’t there for him to be more than a deep-league FLEX play at this point.
