Fantasy Football Booms and Busts: High-scoring Panthers, 49ers offenses fail to take off in Week 7

Week 7 proved difficult for fantasy managers relying on San Francisco and Carolina. The 49ers suffered a 29-20 defeat against Atlanta, hampered by a depleted receiving corps and a calf injury to Christian McCaffrey.

Despite the loss, Brock Purdy managed 288 passing yards, while George Kittle contributed 88 yards on eight receptions. Meanwhile, the Panthers struggled immensely in a 43-13 loss to Tampa Bay.

Bryce Young was benched in the fourth quarter after throwing two interceptions and taking five sacks, as the team failed to generate significant offense. Tampa Bay leaned heavily on their ground game, with Bucky Irving rushing for 106 yards and two scores in a contest where Baker Mayfield threw only 11 passes.

Elsewhere, C.J. Stroud and the Texans fell to the Giants in overtime, with Stroud limited to 153 passing yards despite finding Marvin Harrison Jr.

and Xavier Hutchinson for touchdowns.
