NFL DFS Week 7 WR Picks 2026: Top DraftKings & FanDuel Wide Receivers

Puka Nacua and Ja'Marr Chase sit atop my NFL DFS WR rankings for Week 7, but a pair of NFC North wideouts make for the most intriguing NFL DFS stack of the week! There’s a lot to sort through, but don’t worry, we've got you covered here at Fantasy Alarm! Not only will you get my top NFL DFS WR picks for Week 7, but I’ll also cover my top fade of the week and some intriguing DFS stacks, including a contrarian stack if you want to zig where others zag. Without further ado, let’s dive into the NFL DFS WR Coach for Week 7!

NFL DFS Week 7 WR Picks

Amon-Ra St. Brown, Detroit Lions - DraftKings: $7,800 | FanDuel: $9,000

The Packers are just below the league average in terms of fantasy points allowed per game to wideouts, but this is more about the game environment and the fact that this Detroit offense is very good for fantasy and DFS purposes. St. Brown has at least eight targets in every game this season, and when facing two-high safety looks, he’s Jared Goff’s guy. He leads the team with 0.28 targets per route run, per FantasyPoints Data, and his 1.77 yards per route run and 0.58 fantasy points per route run are well above league average.

Malik Nabers, New York Giants - DraftKings: $6,800 | FanDuel: $7,900

The Giants are noncommittal on their QB situation heading into Week 7, but given how underwhelming the Houston defense has been, there’s room for Jameis Winston or JJ McCarthy to have success. The Texans have allowed the third-most fantasy points per game to wide receivers this year, per FantasyPoints Data, and the fourth-highest yards per target (9.99) to perimeter receivers. Furthermore, the Texans defense has allowed the highest target share to receivers, per FantasyPoints Data, and Nabers has an immense 30.9% target share and 2.79 yards per route run over the last four weeks. If Houston’s offensive successes continue, the Giants will be forced to score to keep up, and Nabers is as talented as they come.

Tee Higgins, Cincinnati Bengals - DraftKings: $6,600 | FanDuel: $7,000

You’ll read about Ja'Marr Chase in a little bit, but Tee Higgins is also in a great spot against Baltimore. For the season, Higgins has a 22.8% target share and 2.63 yards per route run, per FantasyPoints Data, and both of those numbers are actually better than Chase’s! Again, you’ll read about this in a bit, but even though Chase’s fantasy points per route run against two-high safeties is better than Higgins’, it’s the latter who has the edge in targets per route run (0.31) and yards per route run (3.11). In fact, amongst wideouts with at least 50 routes run versus two-high safeties, Higgins’ 3.11 yards per route run is the eighth-highest mark in the NFL, per FantasyPoints Data.

Jalen Coker, Carolina Panthers - DraftKings: $6,100 | FanDuel: $6,200

I’m diving right in here. Coker is going to destroy Tampa Bay when they play single-high safety looks, something they do at the second-highest rate in the league, per FantasyPoints Data. While Tetairoa McMillan has a strong 0.21 targets per route run and 1.92 yards per route run against single-high safety looks, Coker comes in at 0.28 and 2.93, respectively, per FantasyPoints Data. Furthermore, Coker has an elite 3.23 yards per route run against zone coverage, something Tampa Bay plays over 80% of the time, and this Bryce Young-led offense has been good for DFS purposes, as the Panthers have scored 25 or more points in all but one game, with Young notching at least 36 pass attempts in every game this season.

Best NFL DFS WR Values for Week 7

Best DraftKings WR Value: Jaylin Noel, Houston Texans - DraftKings: $3,900 | FanDuel: $5,500

Over the last three weeks, Jaylin Noel is the WR14 in fantasy football (PPR), and yet, despite his price jumping $700, he’s still sub-$4K on DraftKings! He has more red zone targets than Nico Collins during the aforementioned span, and Marvin Harrison and now Tank Dell are still going to be eased into things. The Texans cannot take him off the field, and he’s handled a 50+ percent route participation rate in three straight weeks. He primarily plays in the slot, but at least 30% of his routes have come from out wide the last three weeks, after failing to reach that mark in any of the first three weeks. Good matchup in what could be a sneaky high-scoring game against a Giants team that is one of just eight defenses to have allowed at least seven receiving TDs to wideouts on the year, per FantasyPoints Data.

Best FanDuel WR Value: Emeka Egbuka, Tampa Bay Buccaneers - DraftKings: $5,700 | FanDuel: $6,000

FanDuel is pretty quick with pricing updates, and $6,000 for a wideout who has 25 targets over the last two weeks is a crazy good value! It’s likely Jalon Daniels starts again, and with Daniels as the starter the last three weeks, Egbuka has a 30.5% target share, 46.7% of the team’s air yards, and 39.1% first-read rate. It hasn’t been overly efficient, and he hasn’t topped 50 yards in a game with Daniels yet, but he’s finding the end zone, and this matchup against Carolina is a good one. Without its primary corners, the Panthers have allowed the eight-most fantasy points per game to wide receivers over the last three weeks, per FantasyPoints Data, and the third-most per game to perimeter wideouts. Three-fourths of Egbuka’s routes with Daniels have come on the perimeter. Egbuka is a good value on DraftKings, too.

Best NFL DFS WR Stacks for Week 7

Best QB/WR Stack

Ja'Marr Chase, Cincinnati Bengals - DraftKings: $8,100 | FanDuel: $8,800

Stack with:

• Joe Burrow, Cincinnati Bengals - DraftKings: $6,900 | FanDuel: $8,300

It’s Baltimore week, which means Ja'Marr Chase is probably itching to get on the field. Over his career against the Ravens, he’s averaged 7.5 receptions and 120.4 receiving yards per game, and take a look at his last four outings against Baltimore:

• 2025 Week 15: 16 targets, 10 receptions, 132 yards
• 2025 Week 13: 14 targets, 7 receptions, 110 yards
• 2024 Week 10: 17 targets, 11 receptions, 264 yards, 3 TDs
• 2024 Week 5: 12 targets, 10 receptions, 193 yards, 2 TDs

The Ravens play two-high safeties at the fifth-highest rate in the league, and in 2026, Chase has 2.22 yards per route run, 0.28 targets per route run, and 0.71 fantasy points per route run, per FantasyPoints Data. It’s an expensive stack, but past history and the Ravens allowing the seventh-highest yards per target (9.17) to wideouts this year, per FantasyPoints Data, have me giddy about this Cincinnati passing attack.

Best WR/WR Stack

Christian Watson, Green Bay Packers - DraftKings: $7,000 | FanDuel: $7,400

Stack with: 

• Matthew Golden, Green Bay Packers - DraftKings: $6,000 | FanDuel: $6,700

The stars could be aligning here. Even with Josh Jacobs’ return, I don’t expect him to come in and make the Packers a run-first football team, especially in this matchup. In four full games since Jayden Reed got injured, Matthew Golden and Christian Watson have combined for a 42.6% target share. This offense is so concentrated between Golden, Watson, and Tucker Kraft, and we love that from a DFS perspective. Over the last four weeks amongst wideouts with at least 75 routes run, both Watson (6th) and Golden (8th) are in the top 10 receivers in yards per route run, and both wideouts are averaging over 18 fantasy points per game, per FantasyPoints Data. The Lions have allowed the second-most fantasy points per game to wideouts on the year, and given the recent production, matchup, and game environment, a triple stack of Jordan Love, Watson, and Golden is rather affordable.

Best Contrarian Stack

Justin Jefferson, Minnesota Vikings - DraftKings: $7,300 | FanDuel: $8,400

Stack with:

• Kyler Murray - DraftKings: $5,400 | FanDuel: $7.300

I’m going to be watching that Indianapolis injury report very carefully, because Sauce Gardner is currently “week to week” with a calf injury. If he doesn’t play, I’d expect Indy to run Cam Taylor-Britt out there, and if that’s the case, Kevin O’Connell better get Jefferson across from him as much as humanly possible! This year, Taylor-Britt has allowed 4.02 fantasy points per target and a 140.4 passer rating when targeted, per FantasyPoints Data. Last year, he allowed 2.31 fantasy points per target, and a 127.3 passer rating when targeted. With Kyler Murray as his quarterback, Jefferson has posted 3.13 yards per route run and 0.28 targets per route run, per FantasyPoints Data.

As for Murray, he’s coming off a season-high 10 carries and 51 yards on the ground, and this Indy defense has allowed the eighth-most rushing yards to opposing QBs and the ninth-most fantasy points per opportunity, per FantasyPoints Data.

NFL DFS WR Fade for Week 7

Josh Downs, Indianapolis Colts - DraftKings: $5,600 | FanDuel: $6,100

If you read this week’s Risers and Fallers here at FantasyAlarm, you’re probably not surprised to see Downs show up here. You can check out the full write-up and article here, but let me give you the highlights:

• Averaging just 5.3 targets and seven fantasy points per game over the last three weeks
• Excellent against man coverage (2.88 yards per route run), but ineffective against zone coverage (0.98 yards per route run), per FantasyPoints Data.

Daniel Jones has struggled of late, and this Minnesota defense has allowed the lowest pass success rate this season, per FantasyPoints Data, and no team in the NFL plays less man coverage than Minnesota. Downs only has a 1.55 yards per route run against the blitz, per FantasyPoints Data, and this just doesn’t seem like the spot for Downs to turn things around. Far better options at a similar price point.

NFL DFS Week 7 WR Play of the Week

Puka Nacua, Los Angeles Rams - DraftKings: $8,400 | FanDuel: $9,100

Davante Adams is going to be out for the foreseeable future, and Puka Nacua will have minimal competition for targets. We’ve already seen him handle 20+ targets in a game, and with the Rams in a rather dire situation, they need to pepper their most reliable target, which is Nacua. Dating back to Week 1 of the 2025 season, when Adams is off the field, Nacua’s target share jumps to 30.6% (26.6% with Adams on the field), and his yards per route run goes from 3.19 with him on the field to 4.37 with Adams off the field, per FantasyPoints Data. After Las Vegas allowed the third-fewest fantasy points per game to receivers through the first three weeks, they have allowed the fifth-most fantasy points per game over the last three weeks, per FantasyPoints Data, including seven receiving scores.

DraftKings vs. FanDuel WR Picks for Week 7

Between FanDuel and DraftKings, here are a few of the more notable pricing/ranking discrepancies on the two sites. The discrepancies between the two sites for more notable DFS options this week weren’t as drastic as past weeks, but there are still a few. If you think the Falcons will have to air it out while playing from behind against the 49ers, Jahan Dotson is a solid value on DraftKings, coming in outside the top-40, whereas FanDuel has him firmly inside the top 30 at the position. Looking at DraftKings, you actually get a little savings on Malik Nabers in a good matchup against the Houston Texans.
