At PFF, the run game matters just as much as the pass game, and every play is meticulously graded. Each week, we’ll be looking at the highest-graded run blockers and run defenders from each position.

PFF’s media research team has been hard at work this week, preparing for kickoff — pulling data-driven insights and talking points for our broadcast partners around the league. Now, we’re sharing those same nuggets with you. So, whether you’re looking to win your fantasy matchup, hit on your bets or just get smarter about the game, these are the key storylines to know for every Week 7 contest.

Cooper DeJean tops the list for the first time in his career following a standout Week 6 performance against the New York Giants. He allowed zero catches in coverage and continues to post elite metrics, giving up just 0.56 yards per cover snap and a first down or touchdown on only 24% of his targets.

Advanced coverage grade uses machine learning to map the separation allowed on a play to the expected PFF coverage grade the player would have earned had they been targeted. This system also takes into account the difficulty of the assignment and the situation when making that assessment.

Seattle’s decision to replace Geno Smith with Sam Darnold was a bold one, but Darnold’s performance has more than justified the move. He’s currently playing like one of the league’s top quarterbacks, and if he maintains this level of play, there’s every reason to believe the Seahawks can contend in the NFC.

We'll examine team performance in various categories after each week of the 2025 NFL season.
