The Patriots are quietly becoming one of the AFC’s biggest surprises with a 4-2 start heading into Week 7. Drake Maye continues to impress, and this week’s matchup against the struggling Titans defense could be another showcase performance. Tennessee, on the other hand, is searching for answers on both sides of the ball but still has a few fantasy bright spots. Let’s dive into who to fire up and who to keep on ice this week.

🔥 Starts for Week 7
Drake Maye, QB, Patriots
Maye continues to show poise beyond his years and has been a fantasy gem. The Titans’ pass defense ranks near the bottom of the league, and Maye should carve them up through the air. Expect another 20+ point outing.
TreVeyon Henderson, RB, Patriots 💪
With Rhamondre Stevenson struggling, Henderson’s stock is rising fast. His quickness and versatility make him a dangerous weapon, and this could be his breakout week.
Stefon Diggs, WR, Patriots 💪
Diggs has reinvented his game this season, thriving from the slot and building chemistry with Maye. Expect double-digit targets and a strong chance at a touchdown.
Tony Pollard, RB, Titans
Despite the Titans’ offensive struggles, Pollard remains their one steady contributor. His volume and skill set keep him in RB2 territory with 70-80 total yards and TD potential.
Chigg Okonkwo, TE, Titans
When he’s targeted, Okonkwo produces. He’s athletic and a favorite red-zone target. Expect around 45 yards and a score, making him a solid TE streamer.
💤 Sleepers for Week 7
Kayshon Boutte, WR, Patriots 💤
Boutte flashed last week with multiple touchdowns and could benefit from extra defensive attention on Diggs. He’s a solid deep-league flex or DFS dart throw if you’re looking for upside.

🧊 Sits for Week 7
Titans Defense 🧊
The Patriots’ offense is clicking, and Drake Maye has shown excellent decision-making. Tennessee’s defense will struggle to contain all of New England’s weapons: avoid at all costs.
Elic Ayomanor, WR, Titans 🧊
Ayomanor’s fantasy buzz has fizzled. Limited volume and inconsistent quarterback play make him too risky to start in any format this week.
Prediction:
The Patriots’ hot streak continues as Drake Maye delivers another efficient performance. The Titans fight hard behind Tony Pollard, but don’t have enough offensive firepower to keep pace.
Final Score: Patriots 28 – Titans 17
