Detailed Analysis of NFL Week 7: Trends, Surprises, and Bets

Week 7 of the 2025 NFL season is here, and Alofoke Deportes analysts bring you the key information to keep you up to date on everything before Sunday’s action. Get ready with this complete summary. In this analysis, we will explore the crucial statistical trends, the “sleeper” players for your fantasy teams, potential surprises, and the most attractive bet of the week.

Key Statistical Trends

Analyst Seth Walder presents us with three statistical trends that could define the course of this week’s games.Will the Lions be able to exploit SirVocea Dennis’ weaknesses in coverage?Dennis, a Buccaneers linebacker, has struggled in coverage, allowing 1.9 yards per coverage snap, the worst mark among linebackers with at least 100 coverage snaps. The Lions, who direct 34% of their passes to linebackers (the third-most in the league), could have a big day with Jahmyr Gibbs and Sam LaPorta.Will the 49ers be able to stop the Falcons’ outside zone running game?The 49ers, known for their outside zone running game, have struggled to stop it defensively, allowing 6.2 yards per carry on these types of plays. The Falcons, who run outside zone 64% of the time, have Bijan Robinson, one of the best running backs in the league. Fred Warner’s absence due to an ankle injury further complicates the situation for San Francisco.Who will dominate in the trench battle between Giants and Broncos?A clash of forces between the Broncos’ solid pass protection and the Giants’ relentless pressure. Denver’s offensive tackles, Mike McGlinchey and Garett Bolles, rank in the top 4 in terms of pass-blocking win percentage. The key could be Dexter Lawrence II of the Giants, but the outcome will largely depend on whether the Giants’ defenders can overcome the Broncos’ offensive line.

“Sleepers” for Fantasy Football

Eric Moody highlights five players who could be valuable on your fantasy team, and who are available in a high percentage of leagues.

• Tyjae Spears, RB, Tennessee Titans: With 28.7% availability, Spears could see more targets as a receiver.
• Kayshon Boutte, WR, New England Patriots: Available in 24.7% of leagues, Boutte could have a big impact against the Titans’ defense.
• Cade Otton, TE, Tampa Bay Buccaneers: With 22.0% availability, Otton is shaping up to be a key piece in the Bucs’ aerial game, especially with the injuries to their receivers.
• Tez Johnson, WR, Tampa Bay Buccaneers: With 13.2% availability, Johnson has a promising opportunity due to injuries in Tampa Bay.
• Spencer Rattler, QB, New Orleans Saints: Available in 3.8% of leagues, Rattler has a favorable matchup against the Bears.

Possible Surprises of the Week

Analyst Matt Bowen predicts three surprises that could shake up Week 7.

• Luther Burden III, WR, Chicago Bears: Could score a touchdown against the Saints.
• Quinshon Judkins, RB, Cleveland Browns: Is expected to run for more than 100 yards against the Dolphins.
• Jayden Daniels, QB, Washington Commanders: Is projected to throw three touchdown passes against the Cowboys.

The Best Bet of the Week

Pamela Maldonado recommends betting on an under score in the game between the Colts and the Chargers.

According to Maldonado, this game could be low-scoring due to the Colts’ efficiency in the red zone and the Chargers’ strategy of forcing long plays and limiting explosive plays.
