Brock Purdy at Atlanta — Dome Matchup Sets Up Shootout Potential

Purdy enters Week 7 fresh off setting the NFL all-time career passer rating record, steering an undefeated 49ers passing attack. While the pass-catching corps is dealing with injuries with Deebo Samuel Sr. sidelined and Mike Evans banged up, Purdy continues to distribute effectively alongside George Kittle and Christian McCaffrey.

Facing an Atlanta defense in a contest projected for high-scoring fireworks, Purdy brings tremendous weekly upside. We project him for roughly 272 passing yards and over two passing scores, complemented by about 21 rushing yards. Fantasy managers should feel confident slotting him into lineups across all formats as an elite option.

Aaron Jones Sr. vs IND — Primed for heavy volume as home favorites

Despite a brief in-game knee scare in his last outing, Aaron Jones Sr. is listed healthy and remains fully entrenched as Minnesota's lead running back. The undefeated Vikings have continually leaned on Jones to close out games, evidenced by his massive 25 carries in his most recent contest while backfield mate Jordan Mason continues working back from a thumb issue.

Our weekly projection slates Jones for roughly 18 carries, 75 rushing yards, and around four targets against Indianapolis. With the 5-0 Vikings favored by six points at home, game flow should heavily favor the ground attack, cementing Jones as a strong start across all fantasy formats this week.
