by ADMIN 44 views

Navigating the unpredictable world of fantasy football requires making tough decisions each week. Week 7 is no different, presenting both opportunities and challenges for fantasy managers. Knowing who to start and who to sit can be the difference between a win and a loss. Let's dive into some critical start 'em and sit 'em choices for Week 7.

Quarterbacks

  • Start 'Em:

    • [QB Name]: [Provide a brief rationale, mentioning matchup, recent performance, and potential for high score]. *For example: Joe Burrow: Coming off a bye, Burrow faces a weak Jaguars defense, setting up a great opportunity for a high-scoring performance.

  • Sit 'Em:

    • [QB Name]: [Explain why this QB should be benched, considering factors like tough defensive matchup, injury concerns, or poor recent performance]. *For example: Russell Wilson: Against a tough Kansas City defense, Wilson's upside is limited, making him a risky start in Week 7.

Running Backs

  • Start 'Em:

    • [RB Name]: [Highlight the reasons for starting this RB, such as favorable matchup, increased workload, or involvement in the passing game]. *For example: Bijan Robinson: Despite recent struggles, Robinson remains the lead back and gets a plus matchup against the Commanders' defense.

  • Sit 'Em:

    • [RB Name]: [Detail why this RB should be on the bench, focusing on issues like crowded backfield, difficult matchup, or injury limitations]. *For example: AJ Dillon: With Aaron Jones healthy, Dillon’s carries are limited, making him a low-floor option this week.

Wide Receivers

  • Start 'Em:

    • [WR Name]: [Provide reasons to start this WR, considering factors like target share, cornerback matchup, and overall offensive environment]. *For example: DK Metcalf: Expect a target-heavy game for Metcalf against Arizona's vulnerable secondary.

  • Sit 'Em:

    • [WR Name]: [Explain why this WR is a risky start, focusing on issues like inconsistent quarterback play, tough cornerback matchup, or low target share]. *For example: Michael Thomas: Facing Jacksonville's solid pass defense, Thomas may struggle to produce WR2 numbers.

Tight Ends

  • Start 'Em:

    • [TE Name]: [Justify starting this TE, looking at factors like red-zone targets, matchup against linebackers, and overall tight end landscape]. *For example: Darren Waller: With limited options, Waller is a decent play given the thin TE landscape.

  • Sit 'Em:

    • [TE Name]: [Explain why this TE should be avoided, considering issues like limited snaps, crowded target share, or unfavorable defensive matchup]. *For example: Logan Thomas: Despite a decent start, Thomas faces a Giants' defense that historically stifles tight ends.

Flex Options

  • Start 'Em:

    • [FLEX Name]: [Discuss why this player is a good flex option, balancing risk and reward based on their potential for touches and yards]. *For example: Jaylen Waddle: With a favorable matchup against the Eagles' secondary, Waddle has the potential for a big day, making him a solid FLEX play.

  • Sit 'Em:

    • [FLEX Name]: [Explain why this player should be avoided in the flex, considering factors like limited upside, tough matchup, or uncertain role]. *For example: Kadarius Toney: Given his inconsistency and limited snaps, Toney remains too risky to rely on in your flex spot.

Making the right start and sit decisions is crucial for fantasy football success. Consider matchups, injuries, and usage when setting your lineups for Week 7. Good luck!
