NFL.com analysts provide one bold prediction for Week 7 of the 2025 NFL season, from fantasy forecasts to team-based takes.
Jacory Croskey-Merritt scores two TDs for the second time this year.
Fantasy freaks were excited about Croskey-Merritt when the rookie flashed during the preseason. He finally arrived in Week 5 with 150 scrimmage yards and two touchdowns against the Chargers before taking a step back versus Chicago in Week 6 (68 scrimmage yards). Hope springs anew in Week 7 against the Cowboys and their 29th-ranked run defense. Look for Washington’s run game to run up a big "Bill" this week.
Saints upset NFC North team on the road.
I think the Saints are far from a great team, but they -- and especially Spencer Rattler -- have played well enough to win some more games. I think they could shock the Bears on Sunday, provided the Saints don't keep short-changing themselves with self-inflicted errors.
Star WRs combine for three TDs in London.
There wasn't much offense in last week's international game between the Jets and Broncos. This week will be quite the opposite experience for fans, as the Rams and Jaguars find the end zone plenty at Wembley Stadium. Davante Adams and Brian Thomas Jr. will combine for three touchdowns and 250 receiving yards.
Commanders and Cowboys stars run up scoreboard.
There’s going to be an absolute fireworks show in Dallas this Sunday, as the Commanders and Cowboys combine for 88 points -- the most ever in an NFC East divisional showdown. As a result, all of the fantasy stars -- and several of the fantasy nobodies -- will have big games, including 30-plus points from both quarterbacks and just the second fantasy 40-burger of the season.
Last week's London flops bounce back.
Both the New York Jets and Denver Broncos underperformed fantasy-wise in their low-scoring London game in Week 6. New York's Justin Fields and Mason Taylor and Denver's J.K. Dobbins and Courtland Sutton rebound to all finish in the top five at their positions in fantasy this week.
