Week 7 best bets: Browns keep stacking wins, two big-name running back under props to target

Well, after two straight winning weeks, we came back down to Earth in Week 6. In two tight end props I liked, Tucker Kraft fell just short of hitting 40+ receiving yards, and Juwan Johnson laid a complete goose egg. The Patriots were up 10 late, but a Jets field goal meant New England didn't cover -7.5. While D'Andre Swift found the end zone to complete one leg of the parlay, Drake London didn't score. He now has the most receptions without a touchdown across the entire NFL . We did hit on the Texans ' money line over the Jaguars , so at least it wasn't a completely lost weekend, but it was a bad one for sure. Let's make amends! Somehow, the 4-2 Browns are only 1.5-point favorites at the 1-5 Titans . And how did the Titans get that win, you ask? Last week, the Colts completely melted down in every facet, including giving up a blocked punt for a touchdown and a 58-yard punt return. Indianapolis was cruising before that. The loss led to GM Chris Ballard being fired. I just don't see the Browns doing the same. Deshaun Watson has come back down to Earth after a hot start, but this is a really good defensive team facing one of the league's worst offenses. I'll confidently take Cleveland to get to 5-2 and continue what has been the most pleasantly surprising start in football. Daniel Jones has six interceptions in six games this year. Now he faces a ferocious Brian Flores defense that leads the NFL in pressure rate. Jones has a tendency to make poor decisions under pressure, and the Vikings have six interceptions this season, tied for the fifth-most in the league through six weeks, even though they've already had their bye. Here are Ashton Jeanty's rushing numbers from the last two games: That doesn't inspire a ton of confidence, even against a banged-up Rams defensive line. He also doesn't appear to inspire much confidence among his coaching staff. Jeanty's snap share has steadily declined this season. He was up around 80% Weeks 1-3, then down to 67% in Week 4, and then down again to the mid-50s last week. Mike Washington (43 yards) nearly doubled Jeanty's yardage total on one fewer carry last week, and he recorded a season-high 35% snap share. Even Dylan Laube has entered the fray in the past two weeks. Klint Kubiak notably split his backfield in Seattle last season, and it looks like it's trending that way in Las Vegas. Josh Jacobs is back after being removed from the commissioner's exempt list. While he is expected to suit up and play this week, I don't expect a huge workload or a ton of success for him. Remember, while Jacobs was on the exempt list (which he had been since the start of the regular season), he couldn't practice with the team, either. Should we really expect him to get a ton of touches? Furthermore, the Packers have been completely unable to run the ball. Yes, Jacobs should help that slightly, but the Packers are 28th in yards before contact per rush. Jacobs could help the yards after contact per rush (the Packers rank 32nd there), but in his first game back, I'm fading him putting up substantial numbers. This is a team that ran for just 57 yards on 26 carries against the Cowboys ' woeful defense last week. I could see Jacobs making an impact Sunday and maybe even scoring a touchdown, something he's still really good at. But big rushing numbers? I doubt it. I just cannot envision the Rams losing again. I know about all the Matthew Stafford problems. I know about all the injury issues. I just can't see it happening. They'll find a way. Corum, meanwhile, has had back-to-back games with a touchdown and at least 50 yards from scrimmage. He provides more explosiveness than Kyren Williams does, and with the Rams lacking explosives through the air (and Davante Adams being out), Sean McVay could turn to more Corum. With no Adams, the Rams will be in more 13 (one running back, three tight ends) personnel. In 13 personnel, Los Angeles has the third-highest yards per carry rate in the league, and when facing 13 [... truncated ...]

Saints end first quarter with a lead for the first time since Dec. 2024

For the first time in a long time, the Saints have a lead after the first quarter. Tyler Shough connected with tight end Juwan Johnson for a 2-yard touchdown. But the extra point was blocked, keeping the score at 6-3, New Orleans. While the Saints started the game with a three-and-out, they were able to get down the field for a 13-play, 79-yard drive on their second possession. The team converted four third downs on the way to the end zone, including Shough’s TD pass on third-and-goal. The Raiders’ offense got Brock Bowers involved immediately, with Kirk Cousins hitting the tight end three times for 37 yards on the way to a field goal. This is the first time the Saints have ended the first quarter with a lead under head coach Kellen Moore. The last time they had ended the first quarter with a lead was on Dec. 8, 2024 — when the club defeated the Giants, 14-11

Saints rally for 24-17 upset of Ravens

The Saints fell behind the Lions 21-0 in the season opener but rallied to force overtime. They lost on a failed 2-point conversion. They trailed the Ravens 14-3 in the first half and 17-9 in the second. They did not lose. Tyler Shough directed the Saints to a 24-17 comeback win over the Ravens. The Saints outscored the Ravens 14-0 in the fourth quarter as Shough threw a 21-yard touchdown pass to Chris Olave and ran for a 1-yard touchdown on fourth down with 1:28 remaining. The Saints outgained the Ravens 137 to 43 in the fourth quarter, with Baltimore getting only two first downs. In four possessions in the second half, the Ravens got no closer to the end zone than the Saints 31. Shough’s touchdown run was reviewed and upheld on replay. Two downs earlier, replay upheld officials’ on-field ruling that tight end Juwan Johnson came up just short of the goal line on a diving attempt after a reception from Shough. The Saints still had to hold off the Ravens, and Lamar Jackson got Baltimore to the New Orleans 37 with 20 seconds left. Saints safety Julian Blackmon intercepted Jackson on a desperation throw toward Rashod Bateman at the 7. Shough went 27-of-34 for 252 yards and a touchdown and ran for 23 yards and a touchdown on nine carries. The Saints rushed for only 65 yards on 27 carries. They were 8-of-15 on third down and 2-of-2 on fourth. The Ravens, who had 228 yards at halftime, finished with 312 yards. Jackson was 21-of-31 for 235 yards with a touchdown and an interception, and he ran for 34 yards on four carries. Derrick Henry ran for 68 yards and a touchdown on 16 carries, and Bateman caught seven passes for 88 yards and a touchdown

Alvin Kamara practices fully, Saints "feel good" about him playing this week

Saints running back Alvin Kamara appears to be on track to play against the Ravens in Week 2. Kamara did not play in the season opener because of the knee injury he suffered in August, but head coach Kellen Moore said at a Wednesday press conference that he “probably could have gone” but didn’t have enough practice time after returning to the field earlier in the week. Moore said that the Saints “feel good” about Kamara being able to play this week. Defensive end Cam Jordan (hamstring) also missed the opener and was a limited participant in practice. Tight end Oscar Delp (hamstring) was also listed as limited. Tight end Juwan Johnson (illness) and linebacker Isaiah Stalbird (shoulder) were full participants on Wednesday

Juwan Johnson Primed for Early-Season Target Volume in New Orleans

New Orleans Saints tight end Juwan Johnson put together the most productive season of his career in 2025, recording 77 catches for 889 yards and three touchdowns on 102 targets across 17 games. Alongside star Saints wideout Chris Olave, Johnson spent much of the year as the clear second option in the New Orleans passing game. With Saints rookie first-round wideout Jordyn Tyson (hamstring) on Injured Reserve to begin the year, Johnson appears to be in a similar situation in New Orleans to open 2026. Across his final 11 games of 2025, Johnson topped double-digit PPR fantasy points seven times. For as long as Tyson remains sidelined, Johnson carries top-12 fantasy tight end upside and should likely be rostered across most league formats
