The Cowboys sit at 3-4-1. They are reeling from a humiliating 44–24 loss to the Denver Broncos. Now, they face the task of salvaging momentum before their Week 10 bye. For the Cardinals, this Monday night clash represents both hope and uncertainty. Coming off a Week 8 bye, Arizona could welcome back quarterback Kyler Murray. He has missed the previous two games with a foot injury. Murray’s potential return injects energy into a team desperate to end a five-game losing streak.</p><h2><b>Searching for a midseason spark</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Kyler-Murray.jpg"><figcaption>Joe Camporeale-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Offensively, Dallas has shown flashes of dominance. However, inconsistency and defensive breakdowns have kept them below expectations. History isn’t on their side, either. The Cowboys have lost seven of their last eight meetings against Arizona dating back to 2008. This includes a 28–16 defeat in 2023.</p><p>The Cardinals sit at 2-5, but Murray’s undefeatd all-time record at AT&amp;T Stadium adds an intriguing layer to this matchup. Paired with dynamic wideout Marvin Harrison Jr, the Cardinals could find success against a Cowboys defense that ranks 31st in pass defense. They have also surrendered over 40 points in consecutive road losses.</p><p>Dallas remains undefeated at home this season (2-0-1) and has scored at least 40 points in each home contest. However, with Murray back and Arizona well-rested, the Cowboys may need to be at their absolute best to avoid another embarrassing result against a historically tricky opponent.</p><p><i><b>*Watch NFL games LIVE with fuboTV <a href="https://www.fubo.tv/stream/football/?irad=356362&amp;irmp=492408" rel="noopener sponsored">(click for a free trial)*</a></b></i></p><p>Here we will look at and discuss some bold predictions for the game between the Cowboys and the Cardinals <a href="https://www.espn.com/nfl/game/_/gameId/401772818/cardinals-cowboys">in Week 9 of the 2025 NFL season</a>.</p><h2><b>Kyler Murray returns and puts up 250+ yards</b></h2><p>If Murray takes the field on Monday night, expect fireworks. The Cardinals quarterback thrives under bright lights, even more so on the turf of AT&amp;T Stadium. Murray has an uncanny knack for elevating his play in Arlington. This game has all the makings of another signature performance. After a week off to recover from his foot injury, Murray should be healthy enough to showcase his trademark dual-threat ability.</p><p>Murray’s mobility will be critical. The Cowboys’ pass rush is always dangerous when quarterbacks stay in the pocket. Murray’s elusiveness and off-schedule creativity can neutralize that advantage. He can forced Dallas’ secondary to cover longer and deeper than it’s comfortable doing. Murray throws for 250+ yards and adds another 40 on the ground. He will tally multiple touchdowns in his first game back. Even if the Cardinals fall short, Murray will deliver the type of performance that reasserts his place as one of the league’s most exciting playmakers.</p><h2><b>Marvin Harrison Jr finally has his breakout 100-yard game</b></h2><p>The spotlight in Arizona has slowly shifted toward Harrison Jr. This feels like the week he fully breaks out. The Cowboys’ secondary has been torched repeatedly this season. They have allowed a league-high 15 receiving touchdowns to opposing wideouts.</p><p>Expect the Cardinals to test Dallas early with play-action and deep routes. They should exploit mismatches downfield. The Cowboys’ cornerbacks have struggled with physical receivers, often giving up separation on intermediate digs and sideline fades. That’s where Harrison shines. His precision route-running and body control make him nearly impossible to cover one-on-one. As such, he records his first 100-yard receiving game. This will include several chunk plays that keep Arizona competitive into the fourth quarter.</p><h2><b>Trey McBride gets bottled up by Dallas’ defense</b></h2><p>While Arizona’s wideouts could feast, tight end Trey McBride may find this matchup much tougher. He is coming off a stellar outing against the Packers. That’s where he cuaght 10 passes for 74 yards and two touchdowns. With that, expect the Cowboys defense to adjust by assigning safety Donovan Wilson and maybe even linebacker Kenneth Murray Jr to bracket McBride on short routes and crossing patterns.</p><p>The Cowboys’ defense has excelled at limiting tight ends in the red zone. With Murray looking to reestablish rhythm with his outside receivers, McBride’s volume could dip significantly. McBride is held under 40 yards, as Dallas forces Arizona to look elsewhere for production.</p><h2><b>Cardinals push the Cowboys but fall just short</b></h2><p>It’s easy to dismiss the Cardinals based on their record, but that would be a mistake. Despite sitting at 2-5, they’ve been competitive nearly every week. They’ve lost to Seattle, Indianapolis, and Green Bay by a combined 13 points. That shows they can hang with anyone. Against Dallas, expect another spirited effort but also another painful finish. Arizona keeps it close for three quarters, fueled by Murray’s brilliance and Harrison’s breakout. That said, Dallas pulls away late for a 34–27 victory.</p><h2><b>Final thoughts</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Cardinals-WR-Marvin-Harrison-Jr.jpg"><figcaption>Mark J. Rebilas-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>This Week 9 matchup is about redemption. For the Cowboys, it’s a must-win before the bye to restore confidence <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/dallas-cowboys/broncos-blowout-left-cowboys-brian-schottenheimer-tossing-and-turning">and silence critics</a>. For Kyler Murray, it’s a chance to remind the league of his rare blend of talent and leadership.</p><p>Expect plenty of offense, a few defensive fireworks, and a primetime thriller that could easily go down to the wire. If Dallas holds serve at home, they’ll stabilize their season. If Arizona shocks the world, it might mark the true rebirth of the Cardinals’ year. Either way, this Monday night in Arlington has all the makings of a classic.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

They’ll need to start stacking some wins if they want to rescue their season.

Now they are able to get back on the practice field before eventually returning for Arizona.</p><p>The Cardinals now have three weeks to decide to activate either player. They are not forced to wait an entire three weeks, though NFL teams often make good use of that time to get players back into shape.</p><p>Ojulari should provide some solid depth at off-ball linebacker for the Cardinals He could also rotate in as an edge rusher behind Josh Sweat and Darius Robinson.</p><p>Meanwhile, getting Williams back could be a much bigger deal for Arizona’s defense.

While their 2-5 record has not resulted in any trades, the team <a href="https://x.com/TomPelissero/status/1982921223517680032" rel="noopener">decided to part ways</a> with an offensive starter before a Week 9 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys on Monday Night. </p><p>The Cardinals have released running back Michael Carter, according to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero. Carter’s 2025 campaign has been a roller coaster. He was part of the team’s initial roster cutdown before Week 1. Carter then won the Pat Tillman Award, given to the Cardinals’ scout team player of the week, before being named Arizona’s starting running back <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/arizona-cardinals/cardinals-news-james-conner-season-ending-foot-surgery-scary-injury">after injuries to James Conner and Trey Benson</a>. </p><p>Carter acknowledged the quick ascension up the Cardinals’ depth chart before a Week 5 matchup vs. the Tennessee Titans, stating, “You pray for a moment to showcase your talent and here it is,” via Arizona Sports reporter Tyler Drake.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">“It’s been a lot. … You go from Pat Tillman (Scout Player of the Week) one week to starting the next.”</p><p>Cardinals RB Michael Carter on the roller coaster this year has been and what this week’s opportunity means to him ⬇️ <a href="https://t.co/EvQx0K8Snu">pic.twitter.com/EvQx0K8Snu</a></p><p>— Tyler Drake (@Tdrake4sports) <a href="https://twitter.com/Tdrake4sports/status/1973487638280798267?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 1, 2025</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>Unfortunately for Carter, the ride was short-lived. In three games, The now ex-Cardinal struggled to gain any momentum, totaling 96 rushing yards in 34 attempts, nine receptions, 77 receiving yards, and one touchdown. He also saw his carries dwindle each game.</p><p>He began with a career-high 18 attempts against the Titans but saw his number called less than 10 times in the two subsequent games. His 2.8 yards per attempt are tied for 50th in the NFL, and his lack of production forced the team to move on.</p><p>The Cardinals, now down to their fourth-string running back, are expected to feature a combination of Zonovan Knight and Emari Demercado in the wake of Carter’s release. The team is also hopeful that Benson will return in the near future, as he is recovering from surgery on his knee. He is eligible to return in Week 10, following a required four-week stint on injured reserve.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Despite the team desperately needing a reset, Trey McBride is not happy that he will be missing out on National Tight End Day.</p><p>McBride enjoyed one of the best games of his career on National Tight End Day in 2024, posting nine catches for 124 yards in the Cardinals’ Week 8 victory over the Miami Dolphins. The 25-year-old <a href="https://x.com/mcbtrey/status/1982090571641663926" rel="noopener">expressed his dissatisfaction</a> with not being given the opportunity to replicate that performance in 2025 on X, formerly Twitter.</p><p>“Having a bye on National Tight End Day shouldn’t be allowed…,” McBride tweeted.</p><p>Despite failing to reach the end zone, McBride was the league’s top performer on 2024 National Tight End Day. The novelty of the holiday typically results in heightened performances from players at the position.</p><p>While the Cardinals have struggled to generate results, McBride has sustained his success early in the 2025 season. The fourth-year pro has a team-leading 421 receiving yards at the break, the second-most among tight ends in the NFL through seven weeks.</p><p>However, despite his recent success, McBride might have had a more difficult time putting up numbers on 2025 National Tight End Day. The <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/arizona-cardinals/cardinals-news-jacoby-brissett-expected-to-start-over-kyler-murray-in-week-6-vs-colts">Cardinals have been without Kyler Murray</a> since Week 5 as their quarterback nurses a foot sprain. McBride has been productive catching passes from Jacoby Brissett, but Arizona will undoubtedly benefit from getting Murray back after its bye week.</p><h2><b>Cardinals look to turn season around after Week 8 bye</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Cardinals-HC-Jonathan-Gannon.jpg"><figcaption>Matt Kartozian-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>As upset as Trey McBride might be with the untimely bye week, the Cardinals will have their hands full when they return to the field. Arizona will look to snap its five-game skid in prime time in Week 9 against the Dallas Cowboys on Monday Night Football.</p><p>Regardless of what happens with the Cowboys in Week 8, they will almost certainly be favored to beat the reeling Cardinals. However, Arizona has not lost by more than four points thus far.</p><p>Aside from Murray, the bye week also provides valuable recovery time for rookies Walter Nolen III, Max Melton and Will Johnson. Arizona has several players on injured reserve eligible to return, though none appear close to doing so.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Arizona started the season 2-0 with wins over the New Orleans Saints and the Carolina Panthers but has since lost five straight games in the fourth quarter. They lost the first three on last-second field goals, and then the most recent two were losses thanks to last-second touchdowns, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/arizona-cardinals/its-time-for-big-changes-in-arizona-after-cardinals-embarrassing-collapse-against-titans" rel="noopener">leading many questions for the coaching staff</a>.</p><p>The Arizona Cardinals have collapsed in the fourth quarter, <a href="https://x.com/TomPelissero/status/1980285911045984378" rel="noopener">losing all five of their games by a combined total of 13 points</a>. According to the NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, this year’s Arizona Cardinals are the first team to do that since the 2017 San Francisco 49ers. It has been a miserable way to lose and has led the Cardinals to be near the bottom in 4th quarter statistics.</p><p>The Arizona Cardinals led the Green Bay Packers by as much as 10 and hung with the Packers most of the game. However, the deciding touchdown was scored by Josh Jacobs with 1:50 left. Then, the Cardinals could not score on their last drive, ending the game with the Packers winning 27-23.</p><p>Green Bay had previously been the only team in the NFL to lead by 10+ points in every game this year. Against the Cardinals, they didn’t have the lead until two minutes left to play.</p><p>“Disappointing there. Felt like we came out ready to go, did some good things in all three phases, but ultimately not enough,” Cardinals coach Jonathan Gannon told reporters after the loss.</p><p>“So, we’ve got to do more to get a win here. It’s hard, but I just told them we’re hitting a bye here on a skid, and we dug ourselves a hole. There’s no doubt about it. We’re going to have to dig ourselves out of it, and it’s going to be us that does it. So, we got to get reset. Rest up, mentally, physically, and emotionally. We’ve got to reset ourselves, and then we’ll come back to work.”</p><p>Arizona already made history previously when they lost to the San Francisco 49ers, the Seattle Seahawks, and the Tennessee Titans in three straight weeks on a last-second field goal. Now, after losing two more games where they collapsed in the fourth quarter, they make even more history as they struggled to close out games.</p><p>The good news is that Kyler Murray seems like <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/arizona-cardinals/cardinals-news-when-fans-can-expect-kyler-murray-return-foot-injury" rel="noopener">he is going to be ready to return after Arizona’s bye week</a>, setting them up for a jumpstart after the bye.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

So I’m pretty decent in the run game,” Parsons said when a reporter asked <a href="https://atozsports.com/nfl/green-bay-packers-news/micah-parsons-delivers-a-clear-jab-at-jerry-jones/" rel="noopener">about his role blocking</a> and setting the edge, via Wendell Ferreira of atozsports. A dry rejoinder that carried extra weight given Parsons’ recent public back-and-forths involving Jones and his former team. The remark landed like a mic drop in a locker room already buzzing over his first three-sack game as a Packer.  </p><p>Parsons dominated Sunday, logging three sacks and consistently collapsing pockets late as Green Bay rallied from a deficit. The performance often felt like the turning point; Parsons’ pressure helped force Arizona into mistakes and limited the effectiveness of Jacoby Brissett and the Cardinals’ offense. ESPN’s box score shows Parsons’ three sacks as a game-high.  </p><p>Green Bay’s comeback hinged on a late offensive push. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/green-bay-packers/packers-news-josh-jacobs-is-doing-everything-he-possibly-can-play-vs-cardinals">Josh Jacobs ran for two touchdowns</a>, including a go-ahead 1-yard score with 1:50 left, and Jordan Love finished 19 of 29 for 179 yards and a touchdown to spark the rally. The Packers’ defense, Parsons central among them, closed the door when it counted, helping them improve to 4-1-1.  </p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/green-bay-packers/packers-news-micah-parsons-takes-jab-jerry-jones-without-saying-name">Earlier this season, he traded barbs with Jones and the Dallas Cowboys</a>, and media outlets quickly interpreted Sunday’s comment as another small jab at the Cowboys’ owner, who helped build the franchise Parsons left.</p><p>Coach support followed the performance. Teammates credited Parsons for disrupting Arizona’s blocking schemes and drawing double-teams that freed up other defenders to make plays.</p><p>Parsons shrugged off talk of theatrics and insisted afterward that he was just doing his job: get to the quarterback and make plays that help the team win.  </p><p>The Packers rode a resilient defense and a late offensive push to a road win that keeps their momentum intact.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Without him, they’ll likely tilt toward a quicker passing approach and more designed runs for smaller backs and receivers in space. LaFleur’s play-calling will have to adjust on the fly, and that’s easier said than done against an Arizona team that still fights hard in the trenches.  </p><p>The Packers elevated depth pieces on Saturday, a move that signals preparation for either outcome.  </p><p>Whatever happens Sunday, the decision will affect more than the carry totals. Jacobs’ presence changes defensive looks, third-down strategies, and clock management. If he’s cleared, Green Bay keeps the identity it’s built this year. If not, Emanuel Wilson and the Packers’ play-callers will get a chance to show how deep this offense really is.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

With starting quarterback Kyler Murray still nursing a foot sprain, NFL insider Ian Rapoport reported via X, formerly Twitter, that backup Jacoby Brissett <a href="https://x.com/RapSheet/status/1979609538182758600" rel="noopener">will likely start against</a> the Packers on Sunday.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">The <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/AZCardinals?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#AZCardinals</a> are once again planning to start QB Jacoby Brissett, while QB Kyler Murray (mid-foot sprain) heals, per The Insiders. </p><p>Murray is questionable, but spent time in practice open to the media throwing to practice squad receivers while Brissett was with the starters. <a href="https://t.co/KkuarHhzd4">pic.twitter.com/KkuarHhzd4</a></p><p>— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) <a href="https://twitter.com/RapSheet/status/1979609538182758600?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 18, 2025</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>“The #AZCardinals are once again planning to start QB Jacoby Brissett, while QB Kyler Murray (mid-foot sprain) heals, per The Insiders,” reported Rapoport. “Murray is questionable, but spent time in practice open to the media throwing to practice squad receivers while Brissett was with the starters.”</p><p>The fact that Murray is close to returning is a good sign. If anything happens to Brissett on Sunday, then Murray could relieve him if the Cardinals deem him ready. However, the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/arizona-cardinals/cardinals-news-jacoby-brissett-expected-to-start-over-kyler-murray-in-week-6-vs-colts">plan for Brissett to start</a> his second consecutive game seems to be in place. Despite losing their fourth straight last Sunday to the Colts, it was a narrow 31-27 defeat. Can Brissett lead Arizona to its first win since Week 2?</p><h2><b>Cardinals look to reverse four-game skid Sunday versus the Packers</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Cardinals-QB-Kyler-Murray_d457e3.jpg"><figcaption>Mandatory Credit: © Joe Rondone/The Republic / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/arizona-cardinals/cardinals-news-kyler-murray-qb1-strong-jacoby-brissett-showing">Brissett had a solid start</a> in relief of Murray in last Sunday’s loss to the Colts. The veteran quarterback went 27-of-44 for 320 yards, to go along with two touchdown passes and an interception. That’s a higher total than Murray has notched in any matchup this season, win or lose. If Brissett continues to play well, would it be smarter for the Cardinals to go with him under center full-time?</p><p>It’s an intriguing possibility, as it seems that head coach Jonathan Gannon has had his troubles this season. For a Cardinals franchise that has consistently teased the potential of being a postseason contender, time could be running out for Murray and Gannon. However, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/arizona-cardinals/cardinals-should-stick-with-jacoby-brissett-even-when-kyler-murray-gets-healthy">if Brissett can lead Arizona</a> to their third win against the Packers, wouldn’t it be fair to see what he could do with the full-time gig in place of Murray? For a fanbase that has been starved of postseason success, the Cardinals’ brass needs to try its best to deliver on those dreams.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

As a new Sunday arrives, we’ll be going over some bold predictions when the <b>Green Bay Packers (3-1-1) </b>visit the <b>Arizona Cardinals (2-4) </b>on Sunday, October 19 at 4:25 p.m. ET.</p><p>The Green Bay Packers come into this game following a 27-18 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals coming out of their Week 5 BYE. Joe Flacco aimed to lead another comeback attempt against the Packers for the second time this season, but the Green Bay defense held strong through the fourth quarter to get the win. RB Josh Jacobs was the catalyst for their success with two touchdowns on the ground, moving into second-place for the league’s most touchdowns.</p><p>The Arizona Cardinals come in following a tough 31-27 loss to the Indianapolis Colts. Despite the L on their record, quarterback Jacoby Brissett managed to keep the Cardinals competitive without Kyler Murray out there and covering the +5.5-point spread set for them. This week, they’ll be the underdogs once again looking to break their four-game losing streak. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/arizona-cardinals/kyler-murray-marvin-harrison-jr-limited-before-cardinals-week-7-clash">Kyler Murray remains ‘questionable’ ahead of this one</a>, so we could see Brissett start another game in relief.</p><p><a href="https://sportsbook.fanduel.com/navigation/nfl">Sportsbooks are billing</a> the Green Bay Packers as 6.5-point betting favorites on the road. The implied total for the game has been set at 44.5 points.</p><h2>Packers vs. Cardinals Bold Predictions – Week 7</h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Green-Bay-Packers-running-back-Josh-Jacobs-8-stiff-arms-Cincinnati-Bengals-cornerback-Cam-Taylor-Britt-29.jpg"><figcaption>© Tork Mason / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p><b>Packers’ Josh Jacobs leads the NFL in rushing yards after Week 7</b></p><p>Through the first six weeks of the season, Josh Jacobs is currently second among players with six rushing touchdowns on the season, trailing only Colts’ Jonathan Taylor (7) for the league lead. What is even more impressive is that Jacobs has been able to do so with one fewer game played given the Packers’ Week 5 BYE.</p><p>Against the Cincinnati Bengals, the Packers leaned heavily on their lead back with 18 carries, two touchdowns, and a great receiving game with five catches for 57 yards. Right now, he’s their most reliable option from inside the 20-yard line and he’s been able to convert on more attempts than not. With the Colts facing a staunch Chargers’ defense, don’t be surprised if Josh Jacobs can take the lead or tie for most rushing touchdowns.</p><p><b>Cardinals’ Bam Knight earns RB1 role</b></p><p>The Arizona Cardinals’ backfield has been devastated all season. First came the season-ending injury to feature back James Connor. As backup Trey Benson finally began settling into his new role, he landed on injured reserve with a knee injury. Then, of course, came the fumble on the goal line from suspected RB1 Emari Demercado, effectively killing any changes at the starting role.</p><p>Bam Knight saw his most active game of the season in Week 6 with 11 carries for 34 yards and a touchdown. He also caught a pass for 20 yards and was clearly the more explosive playmaker opposite backfield mate Michael Carter, who logged nine carries and two catches last game. I expect Bam Knight to be much more active in the offense during this game, ultimately marking his role as the starting back while Trey Benson is out.</p><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Arizona-Cardinals-running-back-Bam-Knight-20-returns-a-kickoff-against-the-Tennessee-Titans.jpg"><figcaption>© Matt Kartozian-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p><b>The Packers’ defense will create more than one turnover</b></p><p>While this Green Bay Packers defensive unit has been great in keeping teams out of the end zone this season, they’re notably ranked second-worst in the NFL in takeaways with just two this season. Safety Xavier McKinney had more individual interceptions than most teams up to this point last season, so this is certainly uncharted territory for the Packers’ as of late.</p><p>For a defense that’s been the talk of the NFL with their addition of edge rusher Micah Parsons, the Packers’ defense is bound for their breakthrough performance. If veteran Jacoby Brissett sees the start, expect the Packers’ corners to be ballhawking all throughout this one.</p><p><b>The Arizona Cardinals will lead at halftime</b></p><p>While the betting odds are significantly skewed towards the Packers in this game, they’ve had a history of starting slow over the last two seasons. Furthermore, quarterback Jordan Love made an early mistake with an interception against the Bengals, so the Arizona Cardinals could become competitive early-on if they’re able to force a turnover or two out of the Packers.</p><p>The Packers have also allowed teams like the Browns and Bengals to hang around late in the game, so unless we see a completely dominant effort from Green Bay in all three phases of the game, expect the Cardinals to hang around and threaten with a tight margin.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

That goes without saying. But in-season management is just as important. Players get injured, and fantasy rosters get wrecked with bye weeks. There is no shortage of reasons why the more active fantasy managers tend to do better consistently.</p><p>NFL Week 7 is nearly upon us. This week, the Buffalo Bills and Baltimore Ravens are on bye. That means Derrick Henry and James Cook are unavailable, leaving fantasy rosters with a gaping hole at running back.</p><p>Additionally, we have already seen stud running backs go down with injury. That opened up opportunities for active managers to snag a handcuff that was left on waivers.</p><p>Take Rico Dowdle, for example. He was rostered in just under 10 percent of leagues when Carolina Panthers tailback Chuba Hubbard <a href="https://pantherswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/panthers/2025/10/17/panthers-injury-updates-chuba-hubbard-week-7-friday/86747994007/" rel="noopener">went down with a calf strain</a>. Active fantasy managers scooped up <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/carolina-panthers/rico-dowdles-2-week-panthers-explosion-is-more-than-just-a-flash-in-the-pan">Dowdle and have been rewarded handsomely</a>. He has rushed for almost 400 yards in two games for the Panthers.</p><p>Even though there are no obvious players to target this week, that doesn’t mean there aren’t players with streaming appeal. So, let’s get into our NFL Week 7 fantasy football running backs worth streaming.</p><h2><b>Chargers RB Kimani Vidal</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Chargers-RB-Kimani-Vidal.jpg"><figcaption>© Rich Storry-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Two weeks ago, Los Angeles Chargers running back <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/los-angeles-chargers/chargers-news-omarion-hampton-land-injured-reserve-ankle-injury">Omarion Hampton was placed on injured reserve</a>. Reports out of Los Angeles had Hassan Haskins expected to take over lead duties.</p><p>So much for that.</p><p>Kimani Vidal dominated touches in the Chargers’ backfield. He rushed 18 times for 124 yards and caught three passes for 14 yards and a touchdown. Meanwhile, Haskins barely got on the field.</p><p>Vidal was likely scooped up in waivers, if not last week, definitely this week. On paper, Los Angeles faces a tough matchup for running backs. The Indianapolis Colts allow the seventh-fewest fantasy points to the position this season. That may create some trepidation from fantasy managers to plug him into their lineups.</p><p>But offensive tackle Joe Alt is back at practice. Jim Harbaugh still wants to run the football, and Vidal is clearly the guy. Plug and play Vidal without any concern.</p><h2><b>Texans’ Nick Chubb</b></h2><p>Fantasy managers who drafted Joe Mixon must be annoyed. The team has been so secretive about their starting running back. It left fantasy managers reluctantly drafting Nick Chubb in the middle-to-late rounds.</p><p>Chubb struggled to get much going the first few weeks, prompting talk of Woody Marks taking over the job. Even Texans’ head coach DeMeco Ryans talks up their rookie tailback. Marks was supposed to get as many touches as he could handle in Week 6.</p><p>Then the game happened.</p><p>Chubb once again played as the starter and, for the second time in five games, found the end zone. The matchup this week is far from ideal.</p><p>The Seattle Seahawks have been among the best rush defenses in the league. But this is a play more on touchdown equity than anything. For those in a pinch, you could do worse than streaming Chubb.</p><h2><b>Cowboys rookie RB Jaydon Blue</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Cowboys-RB-Jaydon-Blue.jpg"><figcaption>© Vincent Carchietta-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>This one is a bit of a dart throw, but there is reason to back it up.</p><p>Dallas Cowboys rookie running back Jaydon Blue lit it up during training camp and the preseason. That led to him being drafted in the later rounds in fantasy football drafts nationwide. But no one could have foreseen Javonte Williams doing what he has done thus far.</p><p>Williams is providing legit RB2 numbers consistently and is a must-start.</p><p>But Blue has some sneaky streaming appeal this week, especially with <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/dallas-cowboys/cowboys-news-miles-sanders-miss-rest-season-knee-ankle-injury">Miles Sanders now on IR</a>. The Cowboys face the Washington Commanders in what should be a shootout. Vegas has the over/under for this game listed at 54.5, and at some sportsbooks, even higher. There is going to be a lot of scoring in this game.</p><p>The Commanders’ rush defense is fresh off getting gashed by D’Andre Swift and the Chicago Bears. If you are in a tough spot at running back, Blue offers fantasy managers a legit path to double digits.</p><h2><b>Cardinals Running Backs</b></h2><p>Our final entry is not a single player, but a pair of teammates.</p><p>Fantasy football is a game of opportunity. You always want to position yourself where the players in your lineup are getting as many touches as possible.</p><p>The Arizona Cardinals’ running back room has been decimated by injury, creating opportunity. First, James Conner suffered a season-ending injury. Not long after, talented backup Trey Benson got hurt and is on injured reserve.</p><p>Both Michael Carter and Bam Knight offer some streaming appeal. They will very likely split touches this week. But each should touch the ball 10+ times in their game against the Green Bay Packers. It may not be ideal, but both provide opportunity.</p><p>In PPR leagues, Carter has slightly higher upside with his pass game usage.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
