Left WR vs Right CB
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Zay JonesARI4.3 / 4.2
CornerbackOppMatchup
Nate HobbsGBModerate
Arizona WR Marvin Harrison only ran 10 routes in Week 6 before leaving the game due to a concussion and could end up missing Week 7 due to the concussion as well. After Marvin Harrison left the game, it was Zay Jones that ended up leading Cardinals WRs with 5 receptions for 79 yards on 7 targets, only trailing star TE Trey McBride in both targets and receptions. It’s probably best to avoid all pass catchers not named Trey McBride this week, but Zay Jones is the WR I would be taking a flier on if I have too.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Casey WashingtonATL3.1 / 2.4
CornerbackOppMatchup
Renardo GreenSFModerate
Darnell Mooney ended up missing Week 6 with a hamstring injury, so due to the uncertainty of his availability for Week 7, he’s going to be left off this week’s report. If Mooney misses time again Casey Washington should see an expanded role, but that was the case for Week 6 as well and didn’t end up mattering for fantasy managers. Washington ran 26 routes last week but was not able to haul in either of his two targets. Washington should be avoided by fantasy mangers while Darnell Mooney continues to manage his hamstring injury.

Tetairoa McMillanCAR13.3 / 11.1
CornerbackOppMatchup
Sauce GardnerNYJRisky
Tetairoa McMillan had his lowest target total of the season in Week 6, finishing the matchup against Dallas with 3 receptions for 29 yards on 5 targets. The low target volume didn’t matter for fantasy managers, because McMillan finally found the end zone with his first two career TD’s. McMillan was still tied for the lead in targets, but with how dominant the Panthers run game has been the last couple of weeks, Bryce Young hasn’t had to throw as much. McMillan remains a must start option and is a top 20 WR for me in Week 7 despite the somewhat difficult matchup.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Olamide ZaccheausCHI6.6 / 5
CornerbackOppMatchup
Kool-Aid McKinstryNOSafe
DJ Moore was transported to the hospital following the Bears Week 6 matchup against the Commanders, and his status is now in doubt for Week 7. This could mean more out-wide snaps for Olamide Zaccheaus, who had been the primary slot WR for the majority of the season, but it looks like rookie WR Luther Burden might be in the process of taking over that role. Zaccheaus has been relatively involved in the offense with 5+ targets in all but one game this season, but has not been productive at all, yet to top 50 yards receiving in a single week. Zaccheaus is involved just enough to somewhat hurt the fantasy value of the other Bears weapons, but not enough for fantasy managers to be able to put him into their lineups.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Ja'Marr ChaseCIN19.7 / 16.1
CornerbackOppMatchup
Joey PorterPITModerate
There’s not much to be said about Ja'Marr Chase. There’s a reason he’s considered a must start regardless of who is at QB, and new starter Joe Flacco was no exception. Chase finished his first game with Flacco as the starter with 10 receptions for 94 yards and a TD. Chase is once again a must start this week.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Isaiah BondCLE4 / 3.1
CornerbackOppMatchup
Rasul DouglasMIASafe
Rookie Isaiah Bond’s role in the offense continues to grow, with him seeing a season high 87% of snaps in Week 6. Unfortunately, that hasn’t met much for fantasy football purposes with how bad Dillion Gabriel is currently playing at QB. Bond finished Week 6 with 2 receptions for only 9 yards on 5 targets. Despite the great matchup against Miami, I’ve still got Bond outside my top 50 WRs for the week.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
George PickensDAL21.1 / 18.4
CornerbackOppMatchup
Marshon LattimoreWASModerate
George Pickens put together yet another impressive game in Week 6, finishing with 9 receptions for 168 yards and a TD on 11 targets against a Panthers defense that had played relatively well to start the season. Pickens upside could take a hit with CeeDee Lamb possibly returning this week, but even if Lamb is active I’ll still have Pickens as a top 15 WR in Week 7.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Courtland SuttonDEN14.4 / 12.1
CornerbackOppMatchup
Paulson AdeboNYGSafe
Courtland Sutton was pretty quiet in Week 6 against the Jets, which was expected knowing that he would be shadowed by Sauce Gardner. The fact that second year QB Bo Nix has appeared to take a step back hasn’t helped, but Sutton has been able to put together a solid season despite Nix’s struggles with at least 5 receptions and 60 receiving yards in 4 out of 6 games. Sutton is in a great spot for a bounce back performance in Week 7 against the Giants and is a borderline top 15 WR for me this week.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Jameson WilliamsDET10.2 / 8.8
CornerbackOppMatchup
Jamel DeanTBRisky
Week 6 was a great bounce back for Jameson Williams, who topped 50 receiving yards for the first time since Week 2 when he finished with 6 receptions for 66 yards and a TD on 7 targets. While the usage has been inconsistent, it was encouraging to see Williams with 7+ targets in a game for only the 2nd time this season. Hopefully this is a sign of things to come for Jamo, but he’s got a tough matchup against Bucs CB Jamel Dean this week. I’ve got Jameson Williams as a high-end WR3 for Week 7, just outside my top 24 WRs.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Christian WatsonGB0 / N/A
CornerbackOppMatchup
Max MeltonCINModerate
Christian Watson is projected to make his season debut this week after missing the start of they ear with a serious knee injury. Watson has been an extremely boom-or-bust player over his career and should be avoided until we see what his role looks like in this Packers offense.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Nico CollinsHOU14.8 / 12.4
CornerbackOppMatchup
Riq WoolenN/ASafe
Nico Collins has had a somewhat underwhelming start to the season compared to what was expected, but he still leads the Texans with a 24.3% target share and 27.4% first read share. He’s also been a go-to guy for Stroud in the red zone, with a team high 4 end zone targets as well. The Texans have been a bottom 10 team in pass attempts per game to start the year, so the target volume hasn’t been there as much this year, with Collins seeing 6 or less targets in 3 out of 5 games this season. With the combination of Nico’s talent and his chemistry with Stroud, he still remains a must start option and could be an interesting buy low candidate as well.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Alec PierceIND8.2 / 6.8
CornerbackOppMatchup
Cam HartLACModerate
Alec Pierce made his return from injury in Week 6 against Arizona and finished with 2 receptions for 48 yards on 4 targets. It was good to see Pierce back in his full-time role and he will likely have a few spike games throughout the year due to his big play ability, but he’s not someone you should be starting in your fantasy lineup.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Brian ThomasJAC11.8 / 9.8
CornerbackOppMatchup
Cobie DurantLARModerate
After a disappointing start to the season, Brian Thomas has now stacked back-to-back solid games for the first time this season. Thomas Jr. finished with 8 receptions for 90 yards and a TD on 10 targets and has had 80+ receiving yards in back-to-back games. I still don’t have the confidence to consider him the slam dunk WR1 that he was drafted to be, but I’ve got him just outside of my top 12 WRs for Week 7 and would consider him a must start at this point.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Xavier WorthyKC 
CornerbackOppMatchup
Kyu KellyLVSafe
Xavier Worthy only saw 4 targets in Week 6 and finished with 2 receptions for 20 yards. Thankfully, one of those two receptions ended in a touchdown which saved his fantasy day. Worthy having a season low in targets right before Rashee Rice returns won’t make his fantasy managers feel good, but he still possesses the big play ability to pay off for fantasy managers. It’s looking like Worthy might be more boom-or-bust than we had hoped after he saw 8+ targets the previous two games. I’ll have Worthy as a borderline top 24 WR for Week 7.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Tre TuckerLV14.9 / 12.9
CornerbackOppMatchup
Nohl WilliamsKCRisky
It was another disappointing game for the Raiders passing offense in general, but Tre Tucker led Raiders WR’s with 5 receptions for 70 yards on 5 targets. Due to the inconsistent nature of his production, and the possibility of the return of Brock Bowers, Tucker remains a boom-or-bust flex option.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Tre HarrisLAC 
CornerbackOppMatchup
Johnathan EdwardsINDSafe
Tre Harris played over 80% of snaps for the first time in his career with Quentin Johnston out with an injury but was the clear 3rd option behind Ladd McConkey and Keenan Allen. Harris finished with 4 receptions for 27 yards on 5 targets and is someone I’m not putting in my lineup even if Johnston misses again in Week 7.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Davante AdamsLAR14.4 / 12.3
CornerbackOppMatchup
Montaric BrownJACModerate
Davante Adams finished with only 4 receptions for 39 yards in Week 6, but still saw 9 targets and has seen 8+ targets in all but one game this season. With Puka Nacua expected to miss some time with an injury, his usage should only increase as the clear top option in the Rams passing offense. He was already a must start option, and that’s now even the case even more so.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Jaylen WaddleMIA14.9 / 12.5
CornerbackOppMatchup
Tyson CampbellCLESafe
Jaylen Waddle continues to lead the way for the Dolphins pass attack with Tyreek Hill out for the season, with 8+ targets and 95+ receiving yards in back-to-back games. Waddle remains a must start and will be a fringe top 15 WR for me in Week 7.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Justin JeffersonMIN17.3 / 14.4
CornerbackOppMatchup
Kelee RingoPHISafe
Justin Jefferson is coming out of the Vikings Week 6 bye with a team high 28.8% target share and 32.4% first read percentage. There’s some uncertainty with who starts at QB for the Vikings this week, but you’re starting Jefferson regardless. He continues to be a must start every week.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Kayshon BoutteNE11.5 / 10
CornerbackOppMatchup
L'Jarius SneedTENSafe
Kayson Boutte had a big Week 1 and then had been relatively quiet until he erupted in Week 6 with 5 receptions for 93 yards on 5 targets and 2 TDs as well. It’s tough to know how dependent Boutte will be given how far apart his two good games this season have been, but with his big play ability and how well Drake Maye is playing he’s a great option to stash on your bench and could be a flex option in another plus matchup this week against the Titans.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Brandin CooksNO4.2 / 3.1
CornerbackOppMatchup
Tyrique StevensonCHISafe
Brandin Cooks finished Week 6 with 1 reception for 21 yards on 1 target, and continues to be uninvolved in the Saints offense with less than 30 receiving yards games in every game this season. Cooks should be avoided in all formats.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Jalin HyattNYG1.2 / 1.1
CornerbackOppMatchup
Pat SurtainDENRisky
Jalin Hyatt had a season-high 5 targets but finished with 3 receptions for only 17 yards. Hyatt should continue to be avoided in all formats.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Arian SmithNYJ0.9 / 0.7
CornerbackOppMatchup
Jaycee HornCARModerate
Garrett Wilson is expected to miss some time with a knee injury, which should open up additional opportunities for rookie WR Arian Smith. Justin Fields struggles as a passer combined with Smith’s lack of experience is not a combination I want to trust in my fantasy lineup despite the increased opportunity.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Jahan DotsonPHI3 / 2.4
CornerbackOppMatchup
Byron MurphyMINRisky
Jahan Dotson finished Week 6 with 1 reception for 17 yards on 2 targets and has not had more than 25 receiving yards since Week 1. Dotson should be avoided in all formats.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
DK MetcalfPIT16.3 / 14.4
CornerbackOppMatchup
DJ TurnerCINRisky
DK Metcalf put together another solid game in Week 6 with 4 receptions for 95 yards and a TD on 9 targets. Metcalf was the only WR to see more than 1 target in the Steelers game against the Browns and has been the lone consistent option in the passing game this season. Bengals CB DJ Turner has played really well this season, so that will be a problem for Metcalf when he lines up across from him, but Metcalf’s snaps are split enough on each side of the field that you can still feel good starting him this week. I’ve got Metcalf just inside my top 15 WRs for Week 7.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Kendrick BourneSF13.2 / 10.9
CornerbackOppMatchup
A.J. TerrellATLModerate
Ricky Pearsall is once again missing practice to start the week and Jauan Jennings is super banged up but playing through it. This leaves Kendrick Bourne as one of the lone trusted healthy options in this passing offense. Bourne has taken advantage of his increased role in a big way, with exactly 142 receiving yards in back-to-back games. George Kittle could return from IR in Week 7, but Bourne should still have a role, even if it’s a lesser one. I’ve got Bourne just inside my top 30 WRs for Week 7.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Jaxon Smith-NjigbaSEA23.6 / 20
CornerbackOppMatchup
Kamari LassiterHOUModerate
Jaxon Smith-Njigba continued his insane start to the season in Week 6 with 8 receptions for 162 yards on 13 targets. JSN has had 95+ receiving yards in all but one game this season and remains a must start regardless of matchup. Not much else that needs to be said here.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Mike EvansTB11.3 / 9
CornerbackOppMatchup
Amik RobertsonDETSafe
Mike Evans has been a limited participant in practice to begin the week, and is expected to play for the first time since he suffered his hamstring injury in Week 3. It couldn’t come at a better time for this offense, with the other top options Emeka Egbuka and Chris Godwin expected to miss this week. Evans will be a top 24 WR for me at worst if he ends up being active.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Elic AyomanorTEN8.1 / 6.7
CornerbackOppMatchup
Christian GonzalezNERisky
Elic Ayomanor finished the Titans Week 6 matchup against the Raiders with 3 receptions for 27 yards on 5 targets. Ayomanor has now had 3 receptions or less in 3 straight games, and has not topped 50 receiving yards since Week 2. The Calvin Ridley injury could lead to more opportunities, but I’m avoiding Ayomanor anywhere I can given the tough matchup against the Patritos secondary led by Christian Gonzalez.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Chris MooreWAS4.7 / 4.1
CornerbackOppMatchup
Trevon DiggsDALSafe
Terry McLaurin once again missed Week 6 with an injury, which gave veteran WR Chris Moore an opportunity to play more snaps, which he took advantage of. Moore had 3 receptions for 46 yards and a TD on 5 targets. If both Deebo Samuel and Terry McLaurin end up missing Week 7, I would be targeting TE Zach Ertz and Chris Moore as the top two options in this Commanders passing game.
   
   
Right WR vs Left CB

CornerbackOppMatchup
Keisean NixonGBModerate
Despite Marvin Harrison leaving the Cardinals Week 6 matchup early due to a concussion, Michael Wilson still finished with only 4 receptions for 44 yards on 5 targets in a game where QB Jacoby Brissett threw the ball 44 times. Michael Wilson now has a target share slightly above 10% on the season and should continue to be avoided in all formats.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Drake LondonATL18.7 / 15.1
CornerbackOppMatchup
Deommodore LenoirSFModerate
The Atlanta Falcons passing game was once again the Drake London show in Week 6, which has been the case in the majority of games that Darnell Mooney misses due to injury. London finished with 10 receptions for 158 yards and a TD on 16 targets and should be in line for another productive week with Mooney expected to once again miss the Falcons Week 7 matchup against San Francisco. I’ve got London as a top 5 WR for Week 7.

CornerbackOppMatchup
Brandon StephensNYJModerate
Historically, the WR that doesn’t have to line up against Sauce Gardner whenever they play the New York Jets tends to be a decent bet to have a productive day. However, I don’t expect that to be the case here. After missing weeks 3 and 4 due to an injury, Xavier Legette has only had a combined 5 targets over the last 2 weeks despite playing 70%+ of snaps in each game. I’ve got Legette outside of my top 60 WRs for Week 7.

Rome OdunzeCHI17.6 / 15.4
CornerbackOppMatchup
Quincy RileyNOSafe
After starting the season on fire with 4 straight games with 7+ targets and a TD, Rome Odunze had his worst game of the season coming out of the Bears Week 5 bye. He was still tied for 2nd among Bears pass catchers with 5 targets but only finished with 2 receptions for 32 yards. I’m still starting Odunze with confidence despite the down week and have him right back inside my top 10 WRs for Week 7.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Tee HigginsCIN8.7 / 7.2
CornerbackOppMatchup
Darius SlayPITModerate
Even though new Bengals QB Joe Flacco hasn’t been much better than Jake Browning, Tee Higgins showed some life in his first game with Flacco at the helm. In Week 6 Higgins had 8 targets that he turned into 5 receptions for 62 yards, which was a season high for Higgins. He’s still not the fantasy option that managers drafted him to be without Burrow, but seeing some signs of life was encouraging. I still don’t have Higgins inside my top 24 WR’s for Week 7, but he should hopefully be a solid WR3 or flex option.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Jerry JeudyCLE7.3 / 5.7
CornerbackOppMatchup
Jack JonesMIASafe
It's been a disappointing season for Jerry Jeudy to say the least, a lot of which is due to the poor QB play that he’s been dealing with. Jeudy saw 13 targets from rookie QB Dillon Gabriel last week but was only able to turn those targets into 5 receptions for 43 yards. He’s now been held under 50 yards receiving for 4 straight weeks and enters the week with a questionable tag due to a knee injury. If Jeudy plays, he will be a low upside flex option due to the plus matchup and target volume, but not someone I’m excited to start.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
CeeDee LambDAL14.7 / 18.1
CornerbackOppMatchup
Trey AmosWASModerate
CeeDee Lamb was listed as limited in his return to practice on Wednesday of this week, and fantasy managers are hoping to be able to put Lamb back in their lineup for the first time since he left the Cowboys Week 3 game with an injury. We’ll have to keep an eye on if Lamb can progress through practice this week, but he will immediately re-enter must start territory if he’s active this weekend.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Marvin MimsDEN7.4 / 5.9
CornerbackOppMatchup
Cordale FlottNYGModerate
Marvin Mims finished Week 6 with 2 receptions for 30 yards on 3 targets and has only eclipsed 50 receiving yards once this season. Mims should continue to be avoided in all formats.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Isaac TeSlaaDET3.4 / 4.7
CornerbackOppMatchup
Zyon McCollumTBModerate
Isaac TeSlaa was not targeted in Week 6 despite playing 46% of snaps. As the 4th or 5th option at best, TeSlaa should continue to be avoided in all formats.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Romeo DoubsGB13.1 / 11.3
CornerbackOppMatchup
Will JohnsonCINRisky
Coming out of Green Bay’s Week 5 bye Romeo Doubs saw a season high 9 targets that he turned into 5 receptions for 55 yards. Doubs leads all Packers pass catchers with a 19% target share and 23.5% first read share which has led to him being a more consistent fantasy option than he’s been in years past. That could change if rookie WR Matthew Golden continues to get more involved, but Doubs appears to be the most consistently involved WR in an offense that does spread the ball around more than most. However, Doubs has a tough matchup this week against rookie CB Will Johnson that has played really well for Arizona to start his career. Doubs is just outside of my top 24 WR’s this week and can be started as a solid flex option.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Xavier HutchinsonHOU7.1 / 5.9
CornerbackOppMatchup
Josh JobeN/ASafe
Prior to the Texans Week 6 bye, Xavier Hutchinson had his best fantasy day of his career which was largely fueled by the fact he had two receiving touchdowns. Hutchinson finished with just 3 reception for 18 yards on 3 targets, but 2 of those 3 targets ended with Hutchinson in the end zone. Despite the spike in fantasy points, fantasy managers should continue to avoid Hutchinson until we see his targets increase. Hutchison has yet to see more than 3 targets in a game this season.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Michael PittmanIND13.6 / 11.2
CornerbackOppMatchup
Donte JacksonLACRisky
Michael Pittman took a back seat to teammates Josh Downs and Tyler Warren in Week 6, and finished with just 2 receptions for 20 yards on 3 targets, all of which were season lows for Pittman. With so many talented pass catchers on this offense, this likely won’t be the last down week for Pittman but he’s been consistently involved enough this season that you should be able to start him as a borderline WR2. I’ve got Pittman just inside my top 24 WR’s for Week 7.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Dyami BrownJAC7.3 / 5.9
CornerbackOppMatchup
Emmanuel ForbesLARSafe
There was the possibility that Dyami Brown could have seen an increased role with the injury to TE Brenton Strange, but that hasn’t come to fruition. Brown finished Week 6 with 2 receptions for 13 yards on 5 targets and has had less than 20 receiving yards each of the last two weeks. Brown should be avoided in all formats.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Hollywood BrownKC13 / 10.5
CornerbackOppMatchup
Eric StokesLVModerate
Hollywood Brown ended Week 6 with 4 receptions for 45 yards and two touchdowns in Week 6. The two touchdowns was double the amount that Brown came into Week 6 with, and his target share is likely to take a hit with Rashee Rice returning to the offense. Brown is probably going to be the 4th or 5th option in this passing offense moving forward, and should be avoided unless his future usage tells us otherwise.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Jack BechLV1.8 / 2.1
CornerbackOppMatchup
Jaylen WatsonKCRisky
Due to the lack of production from Dont’e Thornton to start the year, the Raiders made the switch in Week 6 and gave Jack Bech more snaps as the Raiders other outside WR opposite of Tre Tucker. Similar to Thornton, Bech also wasn’t a factor in the Raiders offense and finished with 0 receptions on 1 target. Despite the increase in snaps, Bech should be avoided in all formats.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Keenan AllenLAC13.8 / 11
CornerbackOppMatchup
Mekhi BlackmonINDSafe
After starting the season on fire with 60+ receiving yards and a TD in 3 straight games, Keenan Allen has now had less than 60 yards the last 3 weeks and has failed to eclipse 60 yards in any of those games. He’s still very involved in the offense, with 7+ targets in all 6 games this season, but doesn’t do much with them due to the lack of yards after the catch. Allen has a safe floor due to the target volume, but his upside is touchdown dependent. I’ve got Allen just outside of my top 24 WRs for Week 7.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Jordan WhittingtonLAR3.7 / 2.9
CornerbackOppMatchup
Travis HunterJACModerate
The Rams are going to need someone other than Davante Adams to step up in Puka Nacua’s absence, and Jordan Whittington should get plenty of opportunity to do so. Whittington ended up 2nd among Rams pass catchers with 4 targets in Week 6, and was on the field almost full-time after the Puka injury. Whittington could be the #2 option in this offense behind Davante Adams, but he will be competing with both Tutu Atwell and TE Tyler Higbee for targets as well. I’ll have Whittington just inside my top 50 WR’s for Week 7, and he could be a decent dart throw.

Jordan AddisonMIN16.8 / 14.5
CornerbackOppMatchup
Adoree' JacksonN/ASafe
After missing the first three games of the season due to a suspension, Jordan Addison has stepped right back into his role as the Vikings WR2 behind Justin Jefferson. Addison has seen 6+ targets in both games he’s played in this season and has delivered with either 100+ yards or a touchdown in each game. Addison is not as QB proof as Jefferson is, but I’ve still got Addison as a high-end WR3 for Week 7 regardless of who the QB ends up being.

Jalyn Armour-DavisTENSafe
Expectations were high for Stefon Diggs headed into his plus matchup against the Saints after he saw 12 targets the previous week, but Diggs didn’t deliver on those expectations with only 3 receptions for 28 yards on 3 targets. Diggs had a 51-yard receiving TD wiped away due to a questionable offensive pass interference call that would have made his fantasy day look a lot different, but I think he’s someone you should still be starting in Week 7 against the Titans. I’ve got Diggs just inside my top 24 WRs this week.

Rashid Shaheed finished second among Saints pass catchers in Week 6 with 6 targets, but was only able to turn those opportunities into 4 receptions for 28 yards. Shaheed has a consistent role with at least 4 receptions in each game this season, but his fantasy value is still dependent on his ability to break off big plays making him more boom-or-bust for fantasy managers. Shaheed is just inside my top 40 WRs for Week 7.

An injury to Darius Slayton gave Lil’Jordan Humphrey the opportunity to play his first snaps on the season and finished with 4 receptions for 55 yards on a team-high 8 targets. Despite the increased usage, I wouldn’t trust Humphrey against this tough Denver secondary.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Josh ReynoldsNYJ4.3 / 3.3
CornerbackOppMatchup
Mike JacksonCARModerate
Josh Reynolds should slot in as the Jets WR1 with Garrett Wilson expected to miss some time with a knee injury, but he’s still not someone I want to trust in my fantasy lineup. The Jets have been desperate for a 2nd option in the passing offense all season and Reynolds has still yet to see over 30 receiving yards in a game. If I’m going to start someone from the Jets passing offense, it’ll be rookie TE Mason Taylor.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
A.J. BrownPHI10.2 / 8.2
CornerbackOppMatchup
Isaiah RodgersMINRisky
The Eagles ended up unexpectedly playing catch-up against the Giants in Week 6, which led to 6 receptions for 80 yards on 9 targets for A.J. Brown, which was only the 2nd time this season that Brown went over 50 yards in a game. Brown has the ability to produce regardless of matchup with how talented he is, but it’s not a good feeling seeing the matchup with the tough Minnesota Vikings secondary given how this Eagles passing offense has looked most of the season. I’ve got Brown just inside my top 24 WRs for Week 7.

Jauan Jennings is reportedly playing despite having multiple broken ribs, and it showed on the field in Week 6. Jennings had only 1 reception for 7 yards on 3 targets despite playing 77% of snaps. Until we see Jennings operating at full health, you should try your best to leave him out of your fantasy lineups.

Sterling Shepard finished Week 6 with 2 receptions for 51 yards on 3 targets, but could see an uptick in usage with Tampa Bay expected to be without both Emeka Egbuka and Chris Godwin. As a veteran presence in this offense that should be a full-time player, he’s solid option against a beat up Lions secondary in a matchup where Tampa is likely going to need to put up points. I’ve got Shepard just inside my top 40 WRs for Week 7.

Calvin Ridley left the Titans Week 6 matchup against the Raiders with a hamstring injury after playing only 10% of snaps, which opened up more opportunities for Van Jefferson who ended up being somewhat productive due to the Ridley injury. Jefferson finished with 6 targets that he turned into 4 receptions for a team-high 75 yards. Jefferson could be in line to lead the Titans passing offense with Ayomanor expected to draw a decent amount of Christian Gonzalez, but I have no interest in playing Van Jefferson regardless.

If Terry McLaurin and Deebo Samuel both miss Week 7 with the injuries they’re dealing with, someone has to catch the ball for the Commanders. Unfortunately, Jaylin Lane has done nothing to give us the confidence that he will be the one to fill that void. He has yet to have more than 2 receptions in a game this season, and his 37 receiving yards last week was a career high. He could see an increase in snaps this week, but I’m still avoiding him in all formats.

It was just another week at the office for Amon-Ra St. Brown who finished Week 6 with 9 receptions for 45 yards on 10 targets. St. Brown continues to be one of the most consistent WR’s in the NFL and a must start on a weekly basis. Not much to say here.

Dadrion Taylor-DemersonARIModerate
Rookies with high draft capital historically see a bump in usage following their teams bye, and that was the case for Matthew Golden following the Packers Week 5 bye as well. Golden led all Packers pass catchers with 86 receiving yards in Week 6 against the Bengals, which was a career high. He was second on the team with 5 targets and saw 2 rushing attempts as well. We’ll have to see if Christian Watson’s return to the offense affects Golden’s role at all, but you have to think the Packers want to continue to get their first round rookie more involved in the offense. I’ve got Golden just outside of my top 30 WRs for Week 7.

Darnay HolmesLVModerate
Rashee Rice is expected to make his season debut in Week 7 following his 6-game suspension. Fantasy managers shouldn’t have any hesitations putting him in their fantasy lineups in his first game back this week, as he’s had plenty of time to recover from his injury that would have also affected his ability to start the year if the suspension didn’t. Rice has been consistently involved in the Chiefs offense any time he’s active, and he’s right back into must start territory for me. I’ve got Rice as a borderline top 12 WR for Week 7.

Jakobi Meyers finished Week 6 with only 4 receptions for 39 yards on 4 targets and disappointed fantasy managers in what looked like a great matchup on paper. This is now three straight weeks that Meyers has finished with less than 40 receiving yards, and has become much more difficult for fantasy managers to depend on. I’ve got Meyers outside of my top 30 WR’s for Week 7 and would consider him a low upside flex option moving forward.

Ladd McConkey finished Week 6 with 7 receptions for a season high 100 yards and he scored his 2nd touchdown in as many games. McConkey stepped up in a big way with Quentin Johnston out with an injury and exploited a great matchup against the Dolphins secondary. The Colts look like another solid matchup on paper, but if Kenny Moore is able to return from injury that would make things much more difficult for McConkey. I’m expecting Johnston to miss again this week and have McConkey inside my top 20 WR’s. McConkey would drop a little if Johnston ends up being active, but I’m starting him regardless.

Chris Olave once again led the way for Saints pass catchers in Week 6, finishing with 6 receptions for 98 yards on 10 targets. Olave has a team high 29.5% target share and 34.7% first read percentage and continues to be the go-to guy for QB Spencer Rattler. Olave is once again a top 20 WR for me in Week 7 and continues to be a must start with the volume he’s seeing on a weekly basis.

Ja'Quan McMillianDENRisky
Wan’Dale Robinson had an impressive Week 6 with 6 receptions for 84 yards and a TD on 7 targets and had an uncharacteristic 12 yards per target as well. Robinson has been filling in as the Giants WR1 with Malik Nabers out with an injury, so it’s possible that his role in the offense continues to look different to what we’re accustomed to. Despite being the Giants #1 option in the passing offense, I still have Robinson outside of my top 30 WR’s for the week due to the tough matchup against the Denver Broncos secondary. You can start him as a flex option, but you might have been alternatives this week.

DeVonta Smith had 4 receptions for 49 yards on 5 targets in Week 6, and continues to be inconsistent on a week-to-week basis. Smith is a very talented WR, but the Eagles passing offense has made it very difficult for fantasy managers to rely on any of the options. The Vikings have given up the 4th lowest points per game to slot WRs on the season, so I would lower expectations for Smith once again this week. I’ve got Smith just outside of my top 24 WRs for this week as a low upside flex option or WR3.

Injuries to multiple players in this Buccaneers passing offense has created more opportunity for rookie WR Tez Johnson who saw a career high 72% of snaps in Week 6. He only had 1 reception on 3 targets, but made the most of his 1 reception that turned into a 45 yard touchdown. Johnson should play increased snaps once again this week and has a plus matchup against the Detroit Lions, so I’ve got Johnson just inside my top 50 WR’s as an intriguing dart throw in deeper leagues.

Deebo Samuel finished second behind TE Zach Ertz with 5 targets in Week 6, but was only able to turn those targets into 4 receptions for 15 yards. Samuel has also been missing from practice to start the week, so his status will need to be monitored going into the weekend. If Samuel plays, he has one of the best matchups for fantasy WRs that the NFL can offer in the Dallas Cowboys.
