Welcome to Week 7 of the NFL! This time only two teams are on bye: the Baltimore Ravens and the Buffalo Bills. However, their absence leaves significant gaps in fantasy, as Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen, two of the most productive quarterbacks, will be out.
In addition, we will have another international duel: the Los Angeles Rams face the Jacksonville Jaguars in London, from 9:30 a.m. (ET), a schedule that can alter your lineups if you’re not careful.
Quarterbacks on the rise
Among the QBs moving up this week are:
– Dak Prescott (Cowboys): is coming off a solid performance and faces a Washington defense that allows yards at will through the air.
– Caleb Williams (Bears): the rookie has shown confidence and will have an accessible duel against New Orleans.
– Jared Goff (Lions): returns home and faces a vulnerable defense, making him a top-10 option.
– Justin Fields (Jets) falls in the rankings after a disappointing week in London and the loss of his best offensive weapon, Garrett Wilson, to a knee injury.

Keys for the week
Be careful with international travel: games in London tend to have lower offensive output, so Stafford and Lawrence could be limited.
The Dallas and Detroit defenses remain formidable; avoid using quarterbacks who face them if you have more stable options.
Don’t be fooled by the big names: Fields and Tua come at a bad time, while Prescott and Goff offer more security.
Check your lineups on Saturday night and confirm medical reports early Sunday. A timely adjustment can be the difference between winning or losing your week.
