NFL Sunday Week 7
Sunday’s Heroes

It was a big day of production on National Tight Ends Day for these fantasy studs. If you had any of these performers in your lineup this week, you likely secured a week 7 win. But it is fantasy football, so there are no guarantees.

Here were some of the Fantasy Football Heroes on Sunday;

Patrick Mahomes (Chiefs-QB) Magic was back on Sunday in Week 7 at Arrowhead. The Chiefs quarterback passed for over 400 yards (424), threw four touchdown passes, and added 29 yards rushing to finish the week as the third highest in fantasy scoring. Mahomes has reclaimed the Top-Fantasy QB title over the past three weeks.

Jahmyr Gibbs (Lions-RB) The Lions rookie runner had his best game on Sunday Week 7, compiling 126 total yards of offense. We knew Gibbs would see more work in the run game (11 carries on Sunday for 68 yards), but his contributions in the passing game powered his fantasy RB3 finish for Week 7. Gibbs full stat line for Sunday, 11 carries, 68 yards rushing, 1 rushing score, 9 receptions (10 targets), and 58 yards receiving. Expect to see continued increased usage with Montgomery still on the mend.

AJ Brown (Eagles-WR) The Eagles wide receiver has clearly separated himself as the team’s top and primary receiving option this season. On Sunday he was once again dominant in the Eagles air attack. Brown was targeted 15 times, registering 10 receptions for 137 yards receiving and one score. Brown has recorded 5 straight games with at least 127 yards receiving and 6 receptions, and is the fantasy WR1 just ahead of Tyreek Hill and Adam Thielen.

Travis Kelce (Chiefs-TE) The Chiefs tight end celebrated National Tight Ends Day with a memorable performance finishing the week as the Number One fantasy scorer. Kelce was targeted heavily on the day, 13 times for the afternoon, registering 12 receptions for 179 yards receiving and his 4th touchdown for the season. Kelce has once again separated himself from the pack and is the far and away number one tight end this season, by more than 5 fantasy points per game (ppr).

Myles Garrett (Browns-DL) The IDP player of the week Myles Garrett was a beast on Sunday, wrecking havoc and causing chaos all afternoon. Garrett recorded 7 solo tackles, 2 assists, 1 tackle for loss, 2 sacks, 2 QB hits, 1 pass defense, 2 forced fumbles, and he blocked a field goal. He was “The Destroyer.”

Michael Hoecht (Rams-LB) The Rams linebacker was a solid IDP play for week 7. Hoecht recorded 4 solo tackles, 3 assists, 2 tackles for loss, 2 sacks, 2 QB hits, and one forced fumble. A big day for the Rams 3rd year linebacker, his best of the season.

Kenny Moore II (Colts-DB) The Colts 7th year defensive back has been a solid IDP play over the past several weeks and on Sunday was more of the same. Moore recorded 7 solo tackles, 3 assists, 3 tackles for loss, 1.5 sacks, and added  two QB hits for the afternoon. He’s locked in as an IDP starter.

That's my take!
