Top Fantasy Performances
Aaron Rodgers and Davante Adams, Green Bay Packers
Following an ugly loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last week, the Packers bounced back in a big way.
Rodgers torched the Houston secondary for 283 yards and four touchdowns, completing 23 of 34 passes. Adams, meanwhile, set a single-game career-high mark with his 196 yards.
Rodgers' effort resulted in a superb 27.32 fantasy points, while Adams racked up 44.6 in a point-per-reception scoring format. Through the early afternoon window Sunday, Adams was the highest-scoring player of Week 7.
Adams, who missed two games because of a hamstring injury, already has a pair of 40-point PPR outputs in four appearances this season. His upside is nearly unmatched around the NFL.
Quarterbacks Thrive in AFC North Track Meet
Baker Mayfield looked miserable early, missing on his first five attempts that included an interception as well. From there, the third-year quarterback only had one incompletion in 23 attempts.
Good thing, too, because Joe Burrow had a terrific game.
Mayfield finished 22-of-28 for 297 yards and five touchdowns, including a 24-yard strike to Donovan Peoples-Jones in the closing seconds of the game. This score propelled the Cleveland Browns to a 37-34 win over Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals.
Though it wasn't enough for the Bengals, Burrow tossed a pair of go-ahead touchdowns in the fourth quarter. The rookie's final line read 35-of-47 for 406 yards and three touchdowns, and he also rushed for 34 yards and a score.
Burrow had more fantasy points with 33.64, but Mayfield (29.78) left Cincinnati with a victory. The Browns are now 5-2.
Wide Receivers Explode for Steelers, Titans
In a showdown of 5-0 teams, Diontae Johnson helped Pittsburgh build an early lead that Tennessee ultimately could not overcome.
Johnson found the end zone on the opening drive of the contest and then added a second touchdown right before halftime. That helped put the Steelers up 24-7 at halftime, and another field goal early in the third quarter put them in a comfortable spot.
But the Titans nearly recovered.
After a quiet first half, A.J. Brown started to excel. His 73-yard touchdown catch sparked a comeback for Tennessee, which trimmed the gap to 27-24 late in regulation. However, Stephen Gostkowski missed a 45-yard kick that would've forced overtime.
Johnson tallied a career-best 29 PPR points in the win, and Brown (27.3) topped 20 points for the third straight week.
Lockett's Incredible Game in Seattle Loss
Somehow, this wasn't enough.
Tyler Lockett put together the single-best fantasy performance of the season so far. He leaped Packers running back Aaron Jones—who had 45.6 points in Week 2—with 53 points.
Lockett reeled in 15 passes for 200 yards and three scores, setting or matching personal bests in each category. His third touchdown gave Seattle a 34-24 lead in the fourth quarter, but a late collapse pushed the game into overtime. Arizona pulled out a wacky victory on Zane Gonzalez's field goal.
Without question, Lockett would've preferred the win. But it was a sensational night from the Seattle star.
