NFL Scores Week 7: Complete Results and Top Fantasy Performances

Sunday's slate of football had a little something for everyone. There was a shootout in Detroit, a defensive battle in Washington, a thrilling divisional contest in Indianapolis and a blowout in Atlanta. Meanwhile, in Green Bay, Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers reminded everyone that he's still one of the best players in the National Football League.

Rodgers was one of the biggest stars on Sunday, but he wasn't the only one. Here, we'll examine the top fantasy performers from Week 7, along with the final results of every contest.

As a reminder, the Carolina Panthers, Cleveland Browns, Pittsburgh Steelers and Tampa Bay Buccaneers are on bye this week. The New England Patriots and New York Jets will play on Monday night.

Aaron Rodgers, QB, Green Bay Packers

If Matt LaFleur's offense is just hitting its stride, the rest of the NFC could be in serious trouble.

The Packers won their first few games of the season on the strength of their defense. Against the Oakland Raiders, it was all offense and (almost) all Rodgers and the passing game. Rodgers picked apart the Raiders secondary to the tune of 429 yards and five touchdowns. He added another score on the ground.

Oakland head coach Jon Gruden knew his defense was in for a challenge even before the opening kickoff.

"I hate watching this guy. He's fun to watch, but he's really not fun to watch when you got to play against him," Gruden said of Rodgers, per Evan Groat of SB Nation.

Packers fans had plenty of fun watching Rodgers do his thing Sunday afternoon.

Kirk Cousins, QB, Minnesota Vikings

For most of four quarters, the contest between the Minnesota Vikings and Detroit Lions was a back-and-forth affair. The Vikings pulled away in the fourth quarter, though, thanks in no small part to quarterback Kirk Cousins.

Cousins kicked off the fourth-quarter scoring with a 15-yard touchdown pass to tight end Kyle Rudolph. It was his fourth passing touchdown of the game. He finished with 337 yards on a 24-of-34 performance.

This marked the third straight week in which Cousins was tremendous:

This doesn't mean that Cousins' inconsistency is completely behind him, but he is a fantasy must-start until further notice. So is Vikings running back Dalvin Cook, who rushed for 142 yards and two touchdowns, though Cook has been a must-start all season long.

Jacoby Brissett, QB, Indianapolis Colts

Anyone who still views Indianapolis Colts quarterback Jacoby Brissett as a game manager hasn't been paying attention. He doesn't sling the ball around like Rodgers or Patrick Mahomes, but he is capable of making big-time throws into tight windows.

Four of his passes resulted in touchdowns Sunday.

Brissett finished with 326 yards on a 26-of-39 outing. He now has 14 touchdowns and just three interceptions on the season. He's only been sacked seven times in six games.

In fantasy, Brissett is a weekly must-start. In real life, he has Indianapolis at 4-2 and in first place in the AFC South.

Latavius Murray, RB, New Orleans Saints

The New Orleans Saints didn't have the services of star running back Alvin Kamara on Sunday, but that proved not to be an issue. Backup Latavius Murray took over the starting role and demolished the Chicago Bears defense.

In all, Murray put up 150 yards of offense. He rushed for two touchdowns and helped New Orleans grind away what proved to be a comfortable victory.

As NFL Media's Michael Fabiano pointed out, this is the second week in a row in which a running back has gashed Chicago:

If you own players like Austin Ekeler and Jordan Howard, don't be afraid to play them against Chicago in the coming weeks. Don't hesitate to start Saints quarterback Teddy Bridgewater either, as he continues to be a reliable fantasy option as Drew Brees' fill-in.

Bridgewater finished with 281 passing yards and two touchdowns.

Ezekiel Elliott, RB, Dallas Cowboys

On Sunday night, the Dallas Cowboys won the time-of-possession battle by nearly five minutes, thanks to some hard running from Ezekiel Elliott. He carried the ball 22 times for 111 yards while adding 36 yards on six receptions.

Elliott's big night came as a mild surprise, as the Philadelphia Eagles came in allowing just 72.8 yards per game on the ground, second-fewest in the NFL. The fact that Dallas won is a bit less surprising. As ESPN's Todd Archer pointed out, the Cowboys have not lost to Philadelphia when Elliott is in the lineup:

Also unsurprising is the fact that wideout Amari Cooper went for more than 100 yards. The Eagles came in ranked 29th in pass defense, allowing an average of 280.2 yards per game.

Continue starting premier receivers whenever they're matched up against the Eagles.
