It’s already Week 7, and you probably have a decent sense as to whether your squad has the goods to make the fantasy football playoffs or whether you’re just wasting time until the season ends. Our Week 7 fantasy WR rankings for standard leagues take some big hits this week because of byes and injuries, but we do our best to help you spot the best sleepers and breakout candidates for what will be another wild week in the NFL.
With the Bills, Eagles, Vikings, and Rams on bye, the top of our rankings is much different than in past weeks. No disrespect to Tyreek Hill (vs. Steelers in Week 7), but it’s interesting to see him atop the Week 7 rankings with Cooper Kupp, Stefon Diggs, and Justin Jefferson all on bye. There are a couple of newcomers in the top 10 due to the bye-week situation, as Courtland Sutton (vs. Jets) and Jaylen Waddle (vs. Steelers) sit on the WR1 line thanks to solid matchups.
Injuries are starting to rack up, as we failed to see Michael Thomas (toe), Jahan Dotson (hamstring), Rashod Bateman (foot), Keenan Allen (hamstring), and Chris Olave (concussion), among others, in Week 6. Marquise Brown (ankle) got banged up during game action, and with a quick turnaround for Thursday Night Football, Hollywood might be forced to watch from the sidelines. We’ll continue to monitor every banged-up receiver's status and update our rankings accordingly. We'll also need to monitor whether Davante Adams (vs. Texans) will be suspended for shoving a cameraman after Vegas' Week 5 loss in Kansas City, though it's unlikely that happens this week.
WEEK 7 PPR RANKINGS:
QBs | RBs | WRs | TEs | D/STs | Kickers
If you need some worthwhile sleeper or streaming options with a ton of big-name players on bye, Romeo Doubs (@ Commanders), Alec Pierce (@ Titans), Donovan Peoples-Jones (@ Ravens), Tyler Boyd (vs. Falcons), Michael Gallup (vs. Lions), Rondale Moore (vs. Saints), and George Pickens (@ Dolphins) are all in play thanks to facing defenses who entered Week 6 in the top 12 in fantasy points per game allowed to WRs. We should point out that Moore could be in line for a drop in targets with DeAndre Hopkins (vs. Saints) returning from his suspension this week, but with Brown ailing, Moore still has plenty of upside.
WEEK 7 STANDARD RANKINGS:
QBs | RBs | TEs | D/STs | Kickers
The Seahawks, Cardinals, Raiders, and Texans entered Week 6 among the 12-worst pass defenses despite not being among the worst fantasy WR defenses, so we still consider Josh Palmer (vs. Seahawks), whoever actually plays for the Saints (@ Cardinals), Nico Collins (@ Raiders), and possibly Mack Hollins if Adams is out (vs. Texans) potential deep sleepers, too.
WEEK 7 DFS: Best values | Best stacks
Some bubble WRs with tougher matchups include Elijah Moore, Corey Davis, Garrett Wilson (@ Broncos), Robert Woods (vs. Colts), Zay Jones (vs. Giants), Drake London (@ Bengals), JuJu Smith-Schuster, Mecole Hardman and Marquez Valdes-Scantling (@ 49ers), Dotson (vs. Packers), Wan'Dale Robinson and Darius Slayton (@ Jaguars), and Josh Reynolds and DJ Chark (@ Cowboys). You might need to start some of these receivers -- and all can either rack up catches or pop a big play -- but you probably don't want more than one in your lineup.
