2025 NFL Week 7 Fantasy Football Scoring Leaders: Bo Nix, Christian McCaffrey, Ja’Marr Chase

Before you set your fantasy football lineups for your upcoming matchup, it’s time to take a look back at which players performed the best in Week 7.

A battle of veteran quarterbacks on Thursday Night Football got the week rolling, while Travis Hunter and Davante Adams brought some juice to the London game Sunday morning. A handful of stars blew up during the main window, then National Running Back Day had its time in the spotlight on Sunday Night Football.

Following yet another Monday Night Football doubleheader, here is a roundup of the players who led their respective positions in fantasy points during Week 7:

8. Aaron Rodgers (PIT): 24.56 points
9. Drake Maye (NE): 23.08 points
10. Daniel Jones (IND): 22.22 points

Through three quarters of action, Bo Nix wasn’t having the best afternoon. The Giants were shutting out the Broncos, limiting Nix to 4.36 fantasy points to that point in the contest. Then, Nix led the charge for a wild comeback, finishing the day with 279 yards and two touchdowns through the air, plus 48 yards and two touchdowns on the ground. He also converted a pair of two-point conversions to help Denver claim the 33-32 victory.

Running Back Scoring Leaders

1. Christian McCaffrey (SF): 42.1 points
2. Jahmyr Gibbs (DET: 39.8 points

8. Bijan Robinson (ATL): 21.2 points
9. Zach Charbonnet (SEA): 19.5 points
10. Josh Jacobs (GB): 18.8 points

For as productive as Christian McCaffrey had been all-around to start the 2025 season, he wasn’t exactly dominating as a ball-carrier. He was averaging 56.0 rushing yards per game on 3.1 yards per carry through Week 6, only scoring one rushing touchdown. McCaffrey finally broke the century mark on the ground with 129 yards on 24 carries on Sunday, on top of punching in two touchdowns. The return of tight end George Kittle may have played a part in McCaffrey’s resurgence, as well. He remained solid as a pass-catcher, too, reeling in seven of eight targets for 72 yards.

Wide Receiver Scoring Leaders

1. Ja’Marr Chase (CIN): 41.1 points
2. DeVonta Smith (PHI): 36.3 points
3. Keenan Allen (LAC): 31.9 points

5. Jaxon Smith-Njigba (SEA): 29.3 points
6. Travis Hunter (JAX): 27.1 points
7. Chris Olave (NO): 26.8 points
8. Davante Adams (LAR): 26.5 points
9. CeeDee Lamb (DAL): 25.0 points
10. Jordan Addison (MIN): 24.8 points

Joe Flacco is no Joe Burrow, but his arrival seems to have brought Ja’Marr Chase’s fantasy season back to life. Flacco targeted Chase a whopping 23 times, connecting for 16 completions Thursday night. Chase took those for 161 yards and a touchdown, finding the end zone for the fourth time in four weeks. The star receiver is averaging 30.8 PPR fantasy points per game after averaging 14.6 through Week 4.

Tight End Scoring Leaders

1. Oronde Gadsden II (LAC): 32.4 points
2. Pat Freiermuth (PIT): 31.1 points
3. Trey McBride (ARI): 29.4 points
4. Jake Ferguson (DAL): 21.9 points
5. Dalton Schultz (HOU): 18.8 points
6. Daniel Bellinger (NYG): 17.8 points
7. Tyler Warren (IND): 16.9 points
8. Tucker Kraft (GB): 16.8 points
9. Theo Johnson (NYG): 15.6 points
10. Noah Fant (CIN): 14.4 points

Oronde Gadsden II has come a long way since being inactive in Weeks 1 and 2. Even between Weeks 3 and 5, he averaged a mere 5.2 PPR fantasy points per game. After breaking out with 68 yards on seven receptions in Week 6, Gadsden caught another seven passes Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts. Only this time, the 22-year-old rookie converted them for 164 yards and a touchdown. His reliability helped the Chargers avoid a complete blowout in the second half, potentially carving out an even bigger role moving forward.
