Fantasy Football Week 7 QB Streamers
Drake Maye Fantasy Outlook (7.9% Owned)
Looking at what we saw from Drake Maye’s first start in the NFL, I think that if you are in a pinch, you could do much worse. Against the Texans, Maye totaled 243 passing yards and three passing touchdowns. He added another 36 on the ground. This week, Maye gets a matchup against a Jacksonville defense that just gave up four touchdowns to Caleb Williams and the Bears.
While the Jaguars have not been playing good football lately, neither have the Patriots. That makes me more confident for Maye. If they find themselves behind in this game, Maye and the Patriots will be passing the ball. Add to the fact that the Patriots backfield is not in the best state, with Rhamondre Stevenson’s injury and Antonio Gibson’s lack of talent, and it makes sense that Maye needs to throw the ball in this one.
The Jaguars have given up 1,744 passing yards this season, which ranks 31st in the NFL, as well as 14 touchdown passes, which ranks 32nd the NFL. The Jaguars are easy to pass on and, with Maye’s ability to use his legs, it may be a big day for the North Carolina alum.
Daniel Jones Fantasy Outlook (23.8%)
I have been writing about him for a couple of weeks now, but Daniel Jones continues to have a quiet, but successful fantasy season. Jones is QB21 this year so far and continues to use his legs to his advantage. While he struggled last week, Jones has a chance to get back on track against a Philadelphia Eagles team that the Giants could certainly use the win over. Even though the Eagles beat the Browns last week, there still seemed to be some disarray.
There is potential for Malik Nabers to come back this week which will only help Daniel Jones. This is probably a game too where the Giants are down and they need to come from behind. That means more passing attempts and more rushing attempts from Jones. Against the Eagles, Jones has gone over 200 passing yards three times and has a total of five touchdowns. Jones is still in the neighborhood where he needs to play well for the Giants to have any sort of hope for the future. A win over the Eagles would be huge, but in general, Jones is actually better for fantasy than reality, so consider him among your fantasy football Week 7 QB streamers options.
Andy Dalton Fantasy Outlook (5.9%)
Other than his stinker against the Chicago Bears in Week 5, Andy Dalton has been solid this year starting for the Panthers. In a divisional matchup against the Atlanta Falcons last week, Dalton finished with 221 passing yards and two touchdowns. That is against a solid Falcons secondary that has been somewhat stingy against the pass this season. This week, Dalton takes on the Washington Commanders, who will be without Jon Allen. The Commanders have also struggled against the pass this season. In total, Washington has given up 1,397 passing yards and 12 touchdowns.
With the emergence of Diontae Johnson and the potential for Jonathan Brooks joining the lineup this week, this Panthers offense suddenly has a little more life. With how good the Commanders have been on offense this week, it seems likely that Carolina is playing from behind on Sunday, which makes me like Dalton’s potential to throw more passes.
