J.J. McCarthy Named Starting Quarterback Ahead of Road Test in Houston
John Harbaugh officially announced McCarthy as the Giants' starting quarterback, taking over for Jameis Winston. After providing a spark off the bench last week by throwing for 243 yards and a touchdown in the fourth quarter, the team is counting on his mobility to open up the offense. However, his first start comes in a hostile road environment against Houston's pass rush while tackles Andrew Thomas and Jermaine Eluemunor battle injuries.
Fantasy managers quickly pushed his roster rate up to 32%, but expectations should remain measured in single-quarterback leagues. As 10-point road underdogs, game script could force heavy passing volume, yet his volatile floor makes him primarily a Superflex option. With no baseline projection currently posted in our models, be sure to check back frequently for updated projections before kickoff.

Kyle Pitts Sr. vs. 49ers — Red-Zone Surge Brings TE1 Upside
Pitts enters Week 7 completely healthy atop Atlanta's tight end depth chart and is riding substantial momentum after securing 10 of his 13 targets for 102 yards and three scores over his past two contests. The coaching staff has made a clear effort to feature him inside the 20-yard line, turning him into a focal point of the Falcons' passing attack.
In what projects to be a fast-paced, high-scoring matchup against San Francisco, fantasy managers have renewed confidence as his start rate has climbed to 58%. Our weekly projection expects around 3 receptions for 35 yards with scoring upside, making Pitts a strong start across all standard leagues this week.
