NFL Week 7 Fantasy Top Stars 2025
NFL Week 7 of the NFL 2025 season is officially in the books, and it was the most exciting week yet.
Multiple games came down to the final possession. But the one that stood out above the rest is the Denver Broncos’ great 33-32 victory over the New York Giants. After trailing for three quarters, Denver erupted for 33 unanswered points in the fourth, pulling off one of the most dramatic turnarounds of the season and securing a much-needed victory.
Now, let’s get down to business and talk about the 3 standout performers who stole the spotlight in NFL Week 7. These are the hero players who carried teams on their backs and turned close matchups into easy wins.
Ja’Marr Chase Shines on Thursday Night
When Joe Burrow went down to injury early in the season, many fantasy football managers went into panic mode. But instead of fading like many others, Chase somehow managed to thrive. He quickly became the favorite target for new quarterback Joe Flacco. Chase caught 16 passes for 161 yards and a touchdown to score 38.1 PPR fantasy points in the Bengals’ win over the Steelers.
Chase’s historic performance came on the heels of a 25.1 fantasy point performance in NFL Week 6. In my opinion, there is no question that Chase is currently the best wide receiver in the entire NFL. And I think many of you would agree.
Jonathan Taylor Dominates Yet Again
Jonathan Taylor remains the gold standard among fantasy football stars.
Finishing Week 7, he carried the ball 16 times for 94 yards and found the end zone 3 times. With 11 touchdowns in just seven games, it is safe to say Taylor leads the NFL. And as the cherry on top of the NFL pie, he established himself as one of the most dependable fantasy scorers of 2025.
In fact, his 34.2 PPR fantasy point performance was his third 30+ point performance on the season. Taylor remains the best value in the second round of fantasy football drafts.
DeVonta Smith and AJ Brown Come Alive in the Passing Game
The Eagles’ passing game has been disappointing all season, coming into Week 7. Those concerns were put to rest, as DeVonta Smith and AJ Brown put up massive games in line for a 28-22 win over the Vikings. Smith’s nine receptions, 183 yards, and one touchdown were good for 33.3 PPR fantasy points. Brown wasn’t far behind, with 28.1 PPR fantasy points.
While both players having top-five performances in the same week might not be a trend, it is clear that both players hold the upside to win your matchup every week.
Other Notable Performances
The tight end position had its best week of the entire NFL season during Week 7. Trey McBride, Oronde Gadsden, and Pat Freiermuth scored 28+ PPR fantasy points. For a position with a lot of uncertainty, the above three players showed there is still weekly fantasy football upside in the tight end position.
