2025 NFL Week 7 Daily Fantasy Value Plays at QB, RB, WR, TE, and D/ST
Quarterbacks
Kirk Cousins (WSH, FD: $7,500, DK: $6,500) @ Philadelphia Eagles
The Eagles' defense is surrendering the most passing attempts in the league. Over Cousins' last three games, he's averaged an impressive 305 yards, 22 rushing yards, and 2.3 touchdowns per game. In his six duels against the Eagles, Cousins has delivered an average of 303 yards and 2.2 touchdowns. This road matchup positions Cousins to shine in Week 7.
Aaron Rodgers (GB, FD: $7,200, DK: $6,200) vs. Detroit Lions
Green Bay's offense has been pacing at a ferocious rhythm lately. With the Detroit Lions' defense struggling to keep up, this promises to be a high-scoring game. Look for Rodgers to generate substantial yardage and scores as the Packers attack the weak Lions secondary.
Running Backs
Dalvin Cook (MIN, FD: $6,300, DK: $5,800) vs. Los Angeles Chargers
Cook's Week 6 performance boasted 130 rushing yards and two touchdowns on 19 carries. Facing the Chargers' defense, which has yielded the fifth-most rushing yards and touchdowns this season, Cook is poised for another stellar showing. Expect the Vikings coaching staff to continue featuring him heavily in the running game.
D’Andre Swift (DET, FD: $5,600, DK: $5,000) @ Green Bay Packers
Swift has seen an increase in opportunities in recent games, racking up an average of 14 carries and 4 receptions over the past three weeks. With Detroit's offense struggling, Swift promises to be a vital piece of their game plan. The Green Bay defense has given up the seventh-most rushing yards and 24 rushing touchdowns so far, offering Swift a golden opportunity to shine.
Wide Receivers
Tyreek Hill (KC, FD: $5,900, DK: $4,900) vs. New Orleans Saints
Hill has been white-hot in his last three games, accumulating 6 touchdowns on 27 receptions. The Saints' history of allowing big plays to opposing receivers means Hill might have another monster performance on his hands in this matchup.
Rashod Bateman (BAL, FD: $5,100, DK: $4,300) @ Cleveland Browns
Bateman has been consistently targeted by Bryan Hoyer, catching 10 of his past 14 targets for 160 yards and a touchdown. While Cleveland's defense has shown promise, Baltimore is searching for ways to generate offensive momentum. With the Browns' defense focused on stopping the ground game, Bateman may Step Up as the go-to receiver for the Ravens.
Tight Ends
Darren Waller (LV, FD: $5,400, DK: $3,800) @ Atlanta Falcons
Waller has been a reliable target for Derek Carr, racking up 29 receptions for 332 yards over the past three games. The Falcons have struggled against intermediate and short passes, potentially leading to Waller's success in this matchup.
T.J. Hockenson (DET, FD: $5,000, DK: $4,100) @ Green Bay Packers
After limited involvement in Detroit's Week 5 game, Hockenson returned with vengeance in Week 6, hauling in 7 receptions for 91 yards. The Packers' defense has given up the fourth-most fantasy points to tight ends this season, providing an opportunity for Hockenson to continue his rebound.
Defense/Special Teams
Indianapolis Colts (FD: $4,300, DK: $3,100) vs New York Giants
The Colts' defense is currently ranked fifth in points allowed per game, placing them in a strong position to limit scoring opportunities for the struggling Giants' offense. With the Giants losing Odell Beckham Jr. to a season-ending injury, Daniel Jones should find it difficult to ignite an offensive attack against Indianapolis.
In the Week 7 NFL matchup between the Green Bay Packers and Detroit Lions, quarterback Aaron Rodgers (FD: $7,200, DK: $6,200) may thrive against the struggling Lions' secondary, following his recent prowess in generating substantial yardage and scores.
On the other hand, running back D'Andre Swift (DET, FD: $5,600, DK: $5,000) could seize a valuable opportunity when facing the Green Bay defense, which has given up the seventh-most rushing yards and 24 rushing touchdowns this season.
