Outlook J.J. McCarthy
J.J. McCarthy at Houston — Mobility Offers Fantasy Intrigue in First Giants Start
After an explosive 243-yard fourth quarter against New Orleans, J.J. McCarthy has officially been named New York's starting quarterback over Jameis Winston. The Giants are counting on his mobility to open up the offense, though he faces a stiff road test against Houston's pass rush with multiple offensive linemen banged up.
Fantasy managers have taken notice, boosting his roster rate above 32%. We project him for 14.2 fantasy points, anticipating roughly 222 passing yards and 18 rushing yards. While trailing as heavy road underdogs could force significant pass volume, the difficult matchup makes McCarthy best treated as a Superflex starter or deep-league streaming play.

Outlook Denzel Boston
Denzel Boston at Tennessee — High-Upside Flex Option in Low-Scoring Environment
Denzel Boston enters Week 7 fully healthy and established as a primary outside receiver on Cleveland's depth chart alongside Jerry Jeudy. The rookie has developed immediate chemistry with quarterback Deshaun Watson, leading all first-year receivers with 345 receiving yards and three touchdowns through six games. While his target volume dipped slightly over the past two weeks, Boston remains the team's premier downfield weapon.
Facing a 1-5 Titans team on the road, Cleveland is favored in a projected defensive grind. Our weekly projection lands Boston at 11.5 fantasy points on roughly 6.6 targets and 57 receiving yards. While the modest projected game total slightly caps overall offensive volume, his explosive big-play profile keeps him firmly in play as an upside Flex option.
