Chargers' Melvin Gordon preparing for a difficult game against the Titans in Week 7
Los Angeles Chargers running back Melvin Gordon talked to reporters about the Tennessee Titans defense this week. Gordon said "Every year I've played the Titans since I've been with the Chargers. They play us well, regardless of the record it won't be easy."
What It Means:
Gordon handled just 11 total touches in the Chargers' blowout loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 6 and is averaging just 6.1 FanDuel points per game since his return from a multi-week holdout. Gordon is right to be wary of the Titans defense, our power rankings have them rated 3rd overall and they should make things difficult for the Chargers' offense on Sunday. Our models project Gordon for 13 FanDuel points in Week 7.
Gordon's Week 7 projection includes 62.7 rushing yards, .37 rushing touchdowns, and 3 receptions for 23.2 receiving yards. He is priced at $6,600 and is the RB19 in our weekly rankings.

Raiders' Derek Carr taking pride in the run game heading into Week 7
Oakland Raiders quarterback Derek Carr discussed his role in the Raiders run game with reporters this week. Carr said "I've always taken pride in the run game but when Coach Gruden got here it went to a different level. We have plays where I can get to four or five different runs off just one thing he says in the headset and that takes a lot of detail."
What It Means:
Carr's enthusiasm for the run game has benefited the Raiders but hasn't done much for his FanDuel points as he is averaging just 12.9 per game. In Week 7 he will face a Packers defense rated 3rd overall against the pass and 32nd against the run by our power rankings. The Raiders run-heavy game plan is a perfect match for the Packers defense, and if successful, may leave Carr with little to do on Sunday. Our models project Carr for 14.9 FanDuel points in Week 7.
Carr's Week 7 projection includes 237.9 yards, 1.31 touchdowns, and .61 interceptions. He is priced at $6,500.

Colts' T.Y. Hilton expecting a tough, physical game against Houston in Week 7
Indianapolis Colts wide receiver T.Y. Hilton talked to reporters about the Houston Texans' defense this week. Hilton said, "They're very physical man, they got a great front 7, their back end is pretty solid, they're very tough on all three phases".
What It Means:
Hilton also added that he felt the bye week came at the perfect time for the Colts. Coming off that bye, Hilton will face a Texans pass defense rated 12th overall by our power rankings. Hilton has historically put up game-breaking numbers against Houston in the past and is set up well to add another performance to that list this weekend. Our models project Hilton for 13.6 FanDuel points in Week 7.
Hilton's Week 7 projection includes 5.7 receptions for 81 yards and .44 touchdowns on 9.8 targets. He is priced at $7,600 and is the WR6 in our weekly rankings.

Colts' Jacoby Brissett keeping an eye on J.J. Watt heading into key AFC South Battle in Week 7
Indianapolis Colts quarterback Jacoby Brissett told reporters that J.J. Watt presents a different level of challenge for opposing teams. Brissett said "He's been at the top of the league since he got in the league and hasn't slowed down yet. So, he's definitely a player that you have to keep your eye on and understand where he is on the field at all times."
What It Means:
Brissett is coming off a bye and averaging an impressive 17.9 FanDuel points per game this season. His 11.94 FanDuel point performance against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 5 was more a result of a run-heavy game plan than poor play. In Week 7 he will face a Houston Texans' pass defense rated 12th overall by our power rankings. Our models project Brissett for 17.1 FanDuel points in Week 7.
Brissett's Week 7 projection includes 236.7 yards, 1.53 touchdowns, and .72 interceptions. He is priced at $7,300 and is the QB15 in our weekly rankings.

Jaguars' Gardner Minshew aiming for a fast start against the Bengals in Week 7
Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Gardner Minshew mentioned how the team prepares for a fast start on offense each week when talking to reporters on Wednesday. Minshew said: "Yeah, I mean we work on it at practice, coming out the gate hot, trying to really push it and I think we'll have the intensity this week to go do it and its something we're actively pursuing."
What It Means:
After a fantastic start to his career, Minshew had his worst performance as a pro against the New Orleans Saints in Week 6. He will look to rebound in Week 7 against a Cincinnati Bengals pass defense rated 26th overall by our power rankings. Minshew may be without his second-option in the passing game, as wide receiver Dede Westbrook is questionable with a shoulder injury. Our models project Minshew for 17.6 FanDuel points in Week 7.
Minshew's Week 7 projection includes 251.1 yards, 1.58 touchdowns, and .72 interceptions. He is priced at $6,900 and is the QB13 in our weekly rankings.

49ers' Jimmy Garoppolo praises his offensive line as they prepare to face the Redskins in Week 7
San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo complimented his offensive line when talking to reporters on Wednesday. Garoppolo said "I thought the two rookies did a great job stepping in and filling their roles and those guys are just battling upfront. What they do in the run game and pass game is so impressive."
What It Means:
Garoppolo has only scored above 15 FanDuel points once this season as the offense leans heavily on an effective run game. In Week 7 he will have a good chance to reach the 15 point mark for a second time against a Redskins pass defense rated 29th overall by our power rankings. The Redskins are rated 30th overall in total defense by our rankings and the 49ers should be able to move the ball however they choose on Sunday. Our models project Garoppolo for 16 FanDuel points in Week 7.
Garoppolo's Week 7 projection includes 239.7 yards, 1.51 touchdowns, and .71 interceptions. He is priced at $7,500 and is the QB16 in our weekly rankings.
