Week 7 Recap: Chiefs Blank Raiders, Broncos Survive Giants by One in a Wild Week 7

The story of Week 7 was Kansas City looking like Kansas City again. The Chiefs shut out Las Vegas 31-0, and Patrick Mahomes was surgical, going 26-of-35 for 286 yards and three touchdowns. The rest of the league didn't lack for drama either. Five games were decided by six points or fewer, including Cincinnati edging Pittsburgh 33-31 and Philadelphia holding off Minnesota 28-22 on the road.

The blowout belonged to the Chiefs, and it was ugly for the visitors. Geno Smith managed just 67 yards on 10-of-16 passing, Ashton Jeanty was held to 21 yards on six carries, and Tre Tucker led the Raiders with a modest 33 receiving yards. Six carries for your prized rookie back is a usage red flag in any game script. On the Kansas City side, Isiah Pacheco punched in a score on 15 carries for 57 yards, and Travis Kelce chipped in 54 yards on three grabs. The Rams also rolled, crushing Jacksonville 35-7, and Cleveland handled Miami 31-6.

The nailbiter of the week was Denver's 33-32 escape against the Giants. Bo Nix threw 50 times, completing 27 for 279 yards and two touchdowns, with Courtland Sutton (6 catches, 87 yards) and J.K. Dobbins (14 carries, 81 yards) doing the heavy lifting. New York nearly stole it behind Jaxson Dart, who threw for 283 yards and three scores against one pick on just 15 completions. Wan'Dale Robinson led everyone in the game with 95 receiving yards, and Cam Skattebo ground out 60 yards on 16 carries.

The shootout came in Dallas, where the Cowboys dropped 44 on Washington in a 66-point affair. Dak Prescott was efficient at 21-of-30 for 264 yards and three touchdowns, CeeDee Lamb went for 110 yards and a score on just five catches, and Javonte Williams was the engine with 116 rushing yards and a touchdown on 19 carries. Jayden Daniels was limited through the air (12-of-22, 156 yards, one TD) but salvaged his fantasy day with a rushing touchdown. Jaylin Lane led Washington with 60 receiving yards on three catches.

For fantasy managers, Javonte Williams' 19-carry workload makes him a confident RB2 or better, and the Dallas offense is a DFS stacking target any week it projects for points. Dart's big-play ability makes him a streaming option, and Robinson is a PPR asset in that offense. Nix's 50 attempts signal a volume floor that keeps Sutton locked into lineups. On the other side, Jeanty managers should temper expectations until Las Vegas can stay in games long enough to feed him.
