Jaylen Warren vs Saints — Featured Workload in Paris Matchup

Warren enters Week 7 as Pittsburgh's clear lead back after head coach Mike McCarthy reaffirmed him as the offense's featured playmaker. Backfield mate Rico Dowdle is managing a knee issue and entered the weekend questionable, which could funnel even more volume Warren's way. Warren has maintained elite efficiency regardless, averaging 5.2 yards per carry across his last two games while dominating yards after the catch.

Fantasy managers should feel confident slotting him into lineups across all formats as a locked-in starter. Our weekly projection expects around 14 carries for 72 rushing yards plus three catches for 30 yards. With the Steelers favored on a neutral field, his dual-threat capability gives him a high floor and RB1 ceiling.

Michael Penix vs. 49ers — High-Scoring Potential in a Tough Matchup

Michael Penix enters Week 7 fully past his recent rib scare, practicing without limitations and leading an Atlanta offense featuring playmakers Drake London, Kyle Pitts, and Bijan Robinson. While the young passer has shown poise by tossing four touchdowns with zero interceptions across his last two outings, he faces an imposing challenge against an undefeated San Francisco defense known for limiting explosive plays.

Our weekly projection tabs Penix for 17.3 fantasy points, roughly 217 passing yards, and 1.3 passing touchdowns. With a projected high-scoring game environment and Atlanta entering as slight underdogs, negative game script could boost his pass volume. Currently started in only 9% of leagues, Penix profiles as a streaming option in Superflex or deeper formats this week.
