Week 7 Quarterback Outlooks for Fantasy Football
Jared Goff, Detroit Lions - Fantasy Football Outlook
Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff faces the Minnesota Vikings in Week 7, who have been a tough matchup for quarterbacks, allowing just one 300-yard passer this season. Goff, however, enters with strong momentum, averaging 26 fantasy points in his last two games and completing 83% of his passes for 607 yards and five touchdowns over that span.
Known for his efficiency against the blitz, Goff ranks first in yards per attempt and sixth in throw rate when blitzed—key strengths against Minnesota's high-pressure defense. Despite his recent success, Goff remains a low-end QB2 this week.
The Vikings' ability to limit passing touchdowns and the Lions' run-heavy approach in goal-line situations may limit his ceiling. Still, Goff's efficiency gives him some upside if he can capitalize on Minnesota's occasional defensive lapses.

Sam Darnold, Minnesota Vikings - Fantasy Football Outlook
Minnesota Vikings quarterback Sam Darnold had a rough showing in the Week 5 win over the New York Jets. However, the signal-caller has played better than expected in 2024-25, throwing for 1,111 yards, 11 touchdowns, and four interceptions.
With Minnesota off in Week 6, the team will return, hoping to remain atop the NFC North by earning a victory over the Lions in Week 7. The Detroit defense has been reliable this season. Unfortunately, the Lions lost Aidan Hutchinson (leg) for the foreseeable future. While Darnold was already worth a start in any fantasy format, his ceiling is now higher without Hutchinson in the equation.

Patrick Mahomes, Kansas City Chiefs - Fantasy Football Outlook
Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes will take on the San Francisco 49ers in Week 7. Mahomes and the Chiefs emerge from their Week 6 bye as one of two undefeated teams in the National Football League.
Despite Kansas City's success, Mahomes has yet to be a top-end fantasy option at the quarterback position this season. Mahomes is averaging just 13.7 fantasy points per game in a 4-point per passing touchdown league. The Kansas City quarterback currently ranks as a low-end QB2, a far cry from where he was selected during draft season.
Mahomes will have to take on a well-rounded Niners defense ranked 14th in fantasy points allowed to opposing quarterbacks. The San Francisco defense is more formidable against the run than the pass, so Mahomes may have to do more in this matchup, but Andy Reid has shown his dedication toward leaning on the run game this season. Until he proves otherwise, Mahomes should no longer be viewed as a top-12 quarterback option in fantasy football.
