Here we are back again, my DFS Degen friends. There are three games. Six teams. Plenty of ways to convince yourself you have finally built the perfect lineup.

Welcome to the Week 7 Late Slate. The Green Bay-Detroit game gives us an appealing game to stack, the Rams offer opportunities with Davante Adams out, and Denver–Arizona supplies some cheaper options to help everything fit.
| Sunday, October 25 | Kickoff, ET |
| Denver Broncos at Arizona Cardinals | 4:05 p.m. |
| Green Bay Packers at Detroit Lions | 4:25 p.m. |
| Los Angeles Rams at Las Vegas Raiders | 4:25 p.m. |
We’re using the same approach as Money Makers and Heart Breakers: follow the opportunities, consider the matchup, and make the salary work. Several players carry injury questions, so keep checking their availability as Sunday approaches.
Quarterbacks
| Player | Opponent | FanDuel | DraftKings |
| Jordan Love, GB | at DET | $7,600 | $6,000 |
| Matthew Stafford, LAR | at LV | $7,700 | $6,400 |
| Bo Nix, DEN | at ARI | $7,200 | $5,000 |
Jordan Love, Green Bay Packers
Detroit gives up the most fantasy points to quarterbacks, and this game carries a 53.5-point total. This is a great combination for a quarterback with multiple appealing stacking partners. Golden, Watson, and Kraft give us different ways to build around Love, depending on salary and availability.
Monitor Love’s back issue, but if he is cleared for his expected workload, I will most likely be a Packer Stacker.
Matthew Stafford, Los Angeles Rams
The Raiders give up the sixth-most fantasy points to opposing teams’ quarterbacks, making Stafford a great play in Week 7. Adams’ absence shifts target distribution, but Nacua remains an obvious stacking partner, while Parkinson and Higbee offer cheaper alternatives.
Stafford is a strong option if you want passing upside without building your entire lineup around Green Bay–Detroit.
Bo Nix, Denver Broncos
Arizona allows the fourth-most fantasy points to quarterbacks, making Nix a manageable-price option. His $5,000 DraftKings salary leaves room for premium running backs, and his scrambling offers another route to points.
Waddle and Engram offer potential stacking partners. Check Waddle’s health before deciding which version of the Denver passing game you want to buy.
Running Backs
| Player | Opponent | FanDuel | DraftKings |
| Jahmyr Gibbs, DET | vs. GB | $9,800 | $9,800 |
| Kyren Williams, LAR | at LV | $7,900 | $7,000 |
| Tyler Allgeier, ARI | vs. DEN | $5,700 | $5,000 |
| Bam Knight, ARI | vs. DEN | $4,800 | $4,100 |
Jahmyr Gibbs, Detroit Lions
Gibbs returns from the bye against a Packers defense that allows the fourth-most running-back fantasy points. The Packers give up 1.5 running-back touchdowns per game. Second most in the league. Gibbs has scored at least 1 touchdown in every game this season. Elementary, my dear Watson, Gibbs scores again.
Kyren Williams, Los Angeles Rams
Kyren will be involved both on the ground and through the air. Williams gets to play a Raiders team that gives up the second-most rushing yards and the sixth-most receiving yards to RBs. This is a great spot for Kyren, and if you want to pay down a little, perhaps plug in Blake Corum.
Tyler Allgeier, Arizona Cardinals
Allgeier had 18 carries and 19 touches in Week 6, which is useful volume at this price. Jeremiyah Love will be out; he gets another opportunity against a Denver defense that allows the sixth-most running back fantasy points. The volume should be there in Week 7. Bam Knight’s involvement prevents us from treating this as Allgeier’s backfield.
Bam Knight, Arizona Cardinals
Knight had 15 carries and two receptions in Week 6, giving us another inexpensive way into Arizona’s backfield if Love remains sidelined. At $4,100 on DraftKings, he doesn’t need a workhorse role to be useful.
Wide Receivers
| Player | Opponent | FanDuel | DraftKings |
| Christian Watson, GB | at DET | $7,400 | $7,000 |
| Matthew Golden, GB | at DET | $6,700 | $6,000 |
| Jaylen Waddle, DEN | at ARI | $6,500 | $5,500 |
Christian Watson, Green Bay Packers
Detroit allows the third-most fantasy points to wide receivers, giving Watson a great matchup for his downfield ability. Watson has 6 touchdowns so far this season. This is a great player in a soft matchup. This is the Week to be a Packer Stacker.
Matthew Golden, Green Bay Packers
Golden caught 13 passes for 104 receiving yards in Week 6. Now he gets a Lions defense allowing the third-most receiver fantasy points. Opportunity meets matchup, and we get a great stacking partner at a lower salary than Watson.
NOTE: If you can swing it, Love double-stacked with Watson and Gloden is way better than the in-and-out burger double-double.
Jaylen Waddle, Denver Broncos
I have not loved Waddle this season. I mean, who could? He’s been a roller coaster. Well, this week the coaster goes up. Arizona allows the seventh-most fantasy points to receivers, giving Waddle a nice matchup. He is a natural Nix stacking partner and a way to build outside the Packers–Lions game. This is a good tournament play.
Tight Ends
| Player | Opponent | FanDuel | DraftKings |
| Tucker Kraft, GB | at DET | $5,500 | $4,700 |
| Colby Parkinson, LAR | at LV | $5,100 | $3,000 |
| Tyler Higbee, LAR | at LV | $4,900 | $3,500 |
| Evan Engram, DEN | at ARI | $5,000 | $3,000 |
Tucker Kraft, Green Bay Packers
Kraft saw eight targets in Week 6 and now faces the defense allowing the most fantasy points to tight ends. That combination makes him one of the best tight end plays this week. This is yet another player to pair with Love alone or join Golden or Watson in a double stack.
NOTE: Be a Packer Stacker. I was a teacher and a corporate trainer; repetition makes the lesson stick.
Colby Parkinson, Los Angeles Rams
Parkinson drew six targets to Higbee’s four in Week 6, and Las Vegas allows tight ends the seventh-most fantasy points. His earlier-season snap share and red-zone usage make him particularly interesting with Adams out.
At $3,000 on DraftKings, he offers an inexpensive option for stacking Stafford. We still need to see how the Rams distribute the ball this week, but I prefer Parkinson as the speculative choice between their tight ends.
Tyler Higbee, Los Angeles Rams
Higbee caught all four targets for 22 yards in Week 6. That was modest production, but the Raiders matchup and Adams’ absence give him a reasonable opportunity to rebound. Higbee is another way to access this Rams passing game.
Evan Engram, Denver Broncos
How daring are you? Engram gives you another inexpensive option against an Arizona defense that has been generous to tight ends. The Cardinals give up the sixth-most fantasy points to opposing tight ends. His $3,000 DraftKings salary can help preserve room for Gibbs, Kyren, or a premium receiver.
Defense
| Player | Opponent | FanDuel | DraftKings |
| Broncos | at ARI | $4,500 | $3,300 |
| Raiders | vs. LA | $3,400 | $2,000 |
Defenses
Denver Broncos
Denver might be the defense to play on this three-game slate. We are looking at 3 or 4 sacks and an interception. Those are projections, but they support paying for Denver over the cheaper alternatives. I would watch the injury report to ensure that the Denver secondary is healthy; if everyone is playing, this is the safest floor.
Las Vegas Raiders
At $2,000 on DraftKings, the Raiders offer salary relief that could help fit Gibbs or another premium player. Adams is already unavailable, and Nacua appeared on Thursday’s injury report with a calf issue. If Nacua also misses the game, Las Vegas becomes a more interesting tournament option against a depleted receiving group. This is purely a price point play. I have low expectations for success.
