Week 7, part 1 of 6
Week 7 in numbers: Pollard, a 390 underdog and 17 points left on the bench
Tony Pollard had the week's best line at 36.5 PPR points: 25 carries, 129 yards and three touchdowns in a 27 to 24 loss to Cleveland, and he beat his projection by 21.8, the biggest beat of the week. Three others led their positions: Joe Burrow at quarterback with 28.9, Jaxon Smith-Njigba at receiver with 31.3 and Trey McBride at tight end with 27.1.
The market had a mixed week. Four underdogs won outright across 14 games, the biggest the Giants as a 390 underdog in Houston against a 10-point line, and six of the 14 underdogs covered. Nine games went over their total; Dallas and Philadelphia scored 59 against a 43.5 total, and Green Bay and Detroit finished 18.5 under a 55.5. Across 984 teams in 79 leagues synced to FF Beacon, managers left 17.4 points a team on the bench, and 135 of them lost a game their own bench would have won. The costliest single call was Bo Nix on a bench behind Patrick Mahomes, a 37.5-point swing in that league's scoring.

Game by game: every final, the line it beat, and who scored
Fourteen games were played with four teams on a bye. Each card is one game: the final, the line it was played under, the score the line implied against the score that happened, the best fantasy lines on both sides graded against the Sleeper projection, and whose value moved. Every favourite that won also covered, so the market's misses were the four outright upsets and the two favourites that won without covering, Minnesota and Detroit.
A few reports sit behind the cards: Caleb Williams' second straight 300-yard game, J.J. McCarthy winning his first Giants start, Devin Singletary's overtime winner, Kendal Daniels' game-sealing interception a week after a hospital trip and Javonte Williams joining Emmitt Smith, Ezekiel Elliott and Tony Dorsett.
Every game of week 7
Four underdogs won outright, six of fourteen covered, and nine of fourteen games went over the total.

PPR points from the week's box scores. Projected is the Sleeper projection published for week 7, before any FF Beacon adjustment. Value moves are Dynasty PPR SF on FF Beacon and Redraft 1QB PPR on FF Beacon, from the last value on or before 2026-10-20 to the last on or before 2026-10-27.
Computed . Finals are derived from the two team-defense stat lines of each game. Lines are the closing numbers DraftKings posted, as ESPN reports them; the implied team totals are the closing total split by the closing spread.
Week 7, part 3 of 6
How the projections did: low at running back and tight end
The Sleeper projection ran a little low in week 7: 129 of 239 graded players beat it, 54 percent, and the average miss was 4.6 PPR points. The skill positions split cleanly. Running backs and tight ends beat it 63 and 64 percent of the time and outscored it by 1.4 and 1.3 points on average, while only 44 percent of receivers and 46 percent of quarterbacks did.
The season lists are the part to use. Kirk Cousins has beaten his projection in six of seven games by an average of 4.2 points, and Kenneth Walker in five of six by 5.8, though Seattle held him to 9.7 this week. On the other side A.J. Brown has fallen short in all three graded games by 8.9 a game, and Saquon Barkley has beaten his projection once in four games, missing by 6.8 on average.
How the Sleeper projection did in week 7
54 percent of graded players beat it, and it ran low at running back and tight end, where 63 and 64 percent beat it.
- QB46% beat it, 13 of 28; average miss 5 points; lean +0.2
- RB63% beat it, 42 of 67; average miss 4.7 points; lean +1.4
- WR44% beat it, 39 of 89; average miss 4.7 points; lean +0.2
- TE64% beat it, 35 of 55; average miss 3.9 points; lean +1.3
- All54% beat it, 129 of 239; average miss 4.6 points; lean +0.8, all four positions
The line in each bar is 50 percent. Lean is actual minus projected on average: above zero means the projection ran low.
Season: beat it most reliably

Computed . Graded against the Sleeper projection published for each week, in PPR, before any FF Beacon adjustment. A graded game is one where a projection above zero was published and the player took the field. Mean error is actual minus projected: above zero means the projection ran low. Season lists need 2 graded games; the reliable list counts players projected for 6 or more a game and the laggard list 8 or more.
Week 7, part 4 of 6
Injuries and availability: McLaurin, Kmet, Lamar and the 49ers receivers
The timeline below places every reported absence by its expected return. One line per player who matters for fantasy, dynasty first and redraft second:
- Terry McLaurin: torn patellar tendon, out for the season, confirmed by Dan Quinn. Dynasty PPR SF value down 302 to 1,491 and redraft down 155 to 3,045; hold in dynasty only if your roster can wait for 2027, drop in redraft. Chig Okonkwo is the cheap claim: redraft up 1,035.
- Cole Kmet: placed on injured reserve after a knee injury Thursday night, reported as season-ending. Colston Loveland takes the job; his dynasty value rose 812 to 4,468 and his redraft value 671 to 3,751.
- Lamar Jackson: high ankle sprain, ruled out against Cincinnati, and he missed a third straight game. Reports on October 25 to 27 say he is likely to play against Buffalo, where the model projects 19.9 points. Still seventh overall in Dynasty PPR SF at 8,298; hold everywhere and check Wednesday's practice.
- Jalen Hurts: on injured reserve with blood clots and expected to miss the season; the NFLPA has asked for an investigation and the NFL and the union are reviewing it. Dynasty 4,434, down 79; redraft 2,599, down 290. Hold in dynasty, injured reserve slot or drop in redraft.
- Puka Nacua: questionable with a calf injury and played through it for 21.8 PPR points. The model projects 22.5 against the Chargers; start him.
- Aaron Jones: knee, day to day and not considered significant, aggravated in the fourth quarter. Jordan Mason, back from injured reserve, projects for 10.4 at Detroit against 9.0 for Jones; carry both until Friday.
- Breece Hall: inactive again with the quad strain, his fourth missed game. Reports point to a return against Las Vegas, where he projects for 15.0. Redraft value up 109; hold.
- Mike Evans and Deebo Samuel: ruled out in Atlanta. Kyle Shanahan says both have a chance to return after the week 8 bye. Evans keeps a redraft value of 4,504; hold both.
- DeVonta Smith: ruled out Monday night with the hamstring along with Dontayvion Wicks. His week 8 status is not settled; dynasty down 198, redraft down 202. Wicks' redraft value fell 510.
- Tyler Warren: ruled out against Minnesota with a groin injury. Dynasty down 321 to 4,563; the model projects 11.1 against Jacksonville if he plays.
- Zach Charbonnet: ruled out against Kansas City, and his status for Monday against Chicago is unclear while Seattle opens Jadarian Price's practice window. Charbonnet projects for 9.4; hold him only in deeper leagues.
- Rashid Shaheed: left Sunday night with a knee injury. Mike Macdonald called the early returns positive and gave no timeline. Redraft value down 709.
- Davante Adams: on injured reserve with a ruptured hamstring, with Sean McVay putting the absence at six to ten weeks. Dynasty down 477 to 1,812 and redraft down 946 to 3,612; hold in dynasty, injured reserve slot in redraft.
- Rashee Rice: missed a second straight practice with a hamstring injury, as reported on October 22 by Adam Schefter. The model projects 12.8 against Denver; check Friday's report.
- Shorter lists: Kyle Monangai was ruled out with a thumb and turf toe for a third straight game, Terrance Ferguson is not expected off injured reserve next week, Jordyn Tyson did not practice all week and Elijah Arroyo is out for the season after shoulder surgery.
- IDP: Tremaine Edmunds is out for the season with a torn chest muscle; he had 109 points in Sleeper default IDP scoring, 15th among linebackers. Chauncey Golston is out for the season too, Kobie Turner went to injured reserve and Sauce Gardner was ruled out with a calf injury. No value source prices defensive players.

Week 7, part 5 of 6
Moves and role changes: McCarthy, Cousins, Huntley and Jacobs
- J.J. McCarthy replaced Jameis Winston as the Giants starter and won it, 27 to 21 in overtime, scoring 10.2 PPR points. His redraft value rose 413; Jameis Winston fell 713 in redraft and 206 in dynasty. McCarthy is a superflex start; Winston is a drop.
- Las Vegas: Klint Kubiak first said the team was weighing a switch to Fernando Mendoza, then confirmed Kirk Cousins as the starter and called it no controversy. Kirk Cousins stays a superflex start at the Jets with a 16.8 projection; Fernando Mendoza fell 542 in redraft and is a dynasty hold.
- Tyler Huntley started a third straight game with Lamar out and threw for 298 yards; his redraft value rose 719. Drop him the day Jackson is cleared.
- Josh Jacobs was activated after his suspension and scored 20.1 PPR points on 16 touches; dynasty up 281, redraft up 518. Start him against Carolina, where he projects for 16.0.
- Off injured reserve: Jordan Mason (Vikings), Jonah Coleman (Broncos, with Tyler Badie going on reserve), Dylan Sampson (Browns) and Tank Dell (Texans), who caught one pass for 43 yards in his first game in almost two years.
- San Francisco activated Christian Kirk for Atlanta, though he recorded no line there, and Seattle activated Zach Charbonnet from the PUP list. Neither is a start yet.
- Jonathan Taylor: several teams would be open to trading for him, though the Colts are not yet discussing a deal. Dynasty 6,010, redraft 7,322; hold, and recheck before the deadline.
- Releases and signings: the Giants released Najee Harris, now a free agent with a redraft value of 889, and the Rams signed Brandon McManus, whose redraft value then fell 943 on a 5-point week. The Eagles signed Elijah Mitchell, and he played Monday, scoring 6.4.
- Elsewhere: the Lions activated Brian Branch for his season debut, Atlanta activated AJ Terrell, the Browns extended Maliek Collins for two years and $30 million, Sam Franklin's suspension was reduced to a fine while C.J. Gardner-Johnson's was upheld on appeal, and the Giants ruled out Theo Johnson with a neck injury. The Dolphins released kicker Riley Patterson, the Colts added Mecole Hardman and Thomas Morstead and the Ravens Jake Moody and Rayshawn Jenkins to their practice squads. No value source prices defensive players.

Week 7, part 6 of 6
What to do this week: claims, starts, holds, a sell and a buy
Every call is tied to a report above and to a number on the site; the cards below link each one to the tool that runs it. Bid ranges are the FAAB calculator's default 12-team league, as a percent of remaining budget.
- Claim Omar Cooper in every redraft league: 5 catches for 115 yards and a touchdown, redraft value up 1,124 and dynasty up 484. Run the bid through the FAAB calculator; it suggests 6 to 11 percent.
- Claim DeMario Douglas: his redraft value rose 2,237, the biggest jump on the wire, for 6 to 11 percent.
- Claim Caleb Douglas as a bench add for 3 to 6 percent; both of Malik Willis' touchdown passes went to him.
- Claim Chig Okonkwo for 1 to 3 percent now that Terry McLaurin is out for the season, and Michael Mayer for tight end depth: redraft up 736, 6 to 11 percent.
- Start Colston Loveland every week with Cole Kmet on reserve; compare him with your tight end in Who Should I Start.
- Hold Lamar Jackson everywhere and Tyler Huntley only until Jackson practices in full.
- Sell Matthew Golden in dynasty if a buyer pays for the 866-point jump: 39 yards on 12 targets is not a breakout line. Check the offer in the trade calculator.
- Buy Brock Bowers in dynasty after a 416-point dip on one 13.3-point game; he is still ninth overall at 8,068.

Week 7, questions people ask
Questions people ask
Is Lamar Jackson playing in week 8?
He is expected to. He has a high ankle sprain and missed a third straight game in week 7, when Tyler Huntley started a 35 to 13 loss to Cincinnati. Reports from October 25 to 27 say he is likely to play against Buffalo, and the model projects him for 19.9 points there. Watch Wednesday's practice report.
Is Terry McLaurin out for the season?
Yes. Dan Quinn confirmed on October 20 that he tore his patellar tendon and will miss the rest of the season. His Dynasty PPR SF value fell 302 to 1,491 and his Redraft 1QB PPR value fell 155 to 3,045. Chig Okonkwo, up 1,035 in redraft, is the cheap claim.
Who is the Giants starting quarterback?
J.J. McCarthy. He replaced Jameis Winston for the trip to Houston and won his first start 27 to 21 in overtime, completing 20 of 28 for 252 yards. His redraft value rose 413 and Winston's fell 713.
Will the Raiders start Fernando Mendoza?
Not this week. Klint Kubiak said on October 26 that Kirk Cousins is the starter and there is no controversy, after earlier saying the team was weighing a change. Cousins scored 20.4 PPR points against the Rams and projects for 16.8 at the Jets.
