by ADMIN 39 views

Navigating Week 7 of fantasy football can be tricky. Injuries, bye weeks, and unpredictable matchups create tough decisions. Knowing who to start can be the difference between a win and a loss. Let’s dive into some key players to consider for your lineup.

Quarterbacks

  • Start:
    • Josh Allen (BUF): Even against a tough defense, Allen's rushing ability gives him a high floor.
    • Patrick Mahomes (KC): Always a must-start unless there's a very unfavorable matchup.
  • Sit:
    • Baker Mayfield (TB): Facing a strong pass rush, Mayfield could struggle.

Running Backs

  • Start:
    • Christian McCaffrey (SF): Dominant workload and consistent production make him an auto-start.
    • Bijan Robinson (ATL): Should see plenty of volume, making him a reliable option.
  • Sit:
    • AJ Dillon (GB): Inconsistent usage limits his upside.

Wide Receivers

  • Start:
    • Tyreek Hill (MIA): Explosive potential every week.
    • CeeDee Lamb (DAL): Dak Prescott's favorite target, should see plenty of targets.
  • Sit:
    • Michael Thomas (NO): Limited by inconsistent quarterback play.

Tight Ends

  • Start:
    • Travis Kelce (KC): If healthy, he's a top option at the position.
    • Darren Waller (NYG): Potential for a big game against a vulnerable defense.
  • Sit:
    • Tyler Higbee (LAR): Dependent on touchdowns, making him a risky play.

Flex Options

Consider these players for your flex position:

  • Jerick McKinnon (KC): Pass-catching ability gives him value in PPR formats.
  • Elijah Moore (CLE): Seeing increased targets and has big-play potential.

Waiver Wire Adds

If you're struggling with injuries or bye weeks, consider these waiver wire options:

  • Latavius Murray (BUF): Could see increased carries if the Bills want to rest Damien Harris.
  • Wan'Dale Robinson (NYG): Emerging as a reliable target in the Giants' offense.

Making the right start/sit decisions in Week 7 can significantly impact your chances of winning. Analyze matchups, consider player health, and trust your gut. Good luck!
