Jared Goff has exceeded expectations so far during the 2022-23 NFL season. He has already recorded three games with more than 250 passing yards and multiple touchdown passes. He is a solid fantasy quarterback in the right matchup, but this isn't one of those weeks.

The Detroit Lions will face off against the Dallas Cowboys' stingy passing defense in Week 7. The latter currently allow the fourth-fewest passing yards per game, while also leading the entire NFL in total sacks.

Russell Wilson - Denver Broncos vs. New York Jets

Russell Wilson has been one of the most disappointing players of the 2022-23 NFL season so far. He's struggling in his first season with the Denver Broncos, recording just five total passing touchdowns across his first six games. He currently ranks just 21st in fantasy points per game among quarterbacks, making him borderline droppable at this point.

Things won't get any easier for Wilson in Week 7. He faces off against the New York Jets' underrated defense. They enter the matchup ranked in the top 12 in the NFL in passing yards allowed and total yards allowed.

Marcus Mariota - Atlanta Falcons vs. Cincinnati Bengals

Marcus Mariota is a solid streaming quarterback in the right matchup. He has exceeded 50 rushing yards in three of his first six games this year. Rushing has always been a valuable weapon for quarterbacks in Fantasy Football because of the additional points.

The issue with Mariota this week is that he will be playing on the road against the Cincinnati Bengals. He has been much better at home this year, scoring two of his three rushing touchdowns at home and posting his top two fantasy scores of the season. There will be better opportunities to use Mariota in other games this year.
