START Jalen Coker, Panthers: He was a preseason breakout candidate mentioned by many fantasy analysts, and Coker is showing that he is capable of delivering on expectations.\u00a0 In the first week of the season, he led all fantasy WRs with 33.8 PPR points, and last week Coker was targeted 13 times and finished with 97 receiving yards.<\/p>\n
Carolina leads the NFL in passing offense so far this season, and Coker is rapidly emerging as the best fantasy WR on a breakout offense. He is a must-start in what could be a prolific passing matchup against Tampa Bay, as both teams throw often.<\/p>\n
START Jordan Addison, Vikings: Minnesota’s No. 2 WR appears set to return from a hamstring injury, and the Vikings should be able to effectively move the ball against a Colts team that is very beatable right now. Indianapolis ranks 21st in Fantasy Points Per Game allowed to WRs. Addison is an upside play for Week 7.<\/p>\n
START Carnell Tate, Titans: The Tennessee rookie has been showing real signs of progress recently, finishing as the No. 11 WR in fantasy scoring in two of the past three games. Tate was targeted 24 times over the past three games and caught his first pro TD pass last week.<\/p>\n
Tennessee fields the lowest-ranked passing offense in the NFL. But Tate was drafted to improve that outlook and clearly will dominate targets enough to be worthy of streaming consideration.<\/p>\n
START Konata Mumpfield, Rams: Los Angeles is dealing with significant issues at WR, and Mumpfield is likely going to be pressed into more action against the Raiders. Las Vegas ranks 27th in Fantasy Points Per Game allowed to WRs.<\/p>\n
This should be an opportunity for Mumpfield to step forward as a fill-in fantasy WR. In Week 3 against the stout Denver pass defense, he caught a 48-yard TD pass and finished with 93 receiving yards.<\/p>\n
More Week 7 fantasy football WR insights: Denver’s Jaylen Waddle gets a good fantasy draw against Arizona, so monitor him and see if he takes advantage of the matchup. If so, he can be started in good matchups going forward. \u2026 The Giants are making a QB change, but Malik Nabers should still be a top 15 WR option against an up-and-down Houston pass defense.<\/p>\n
Christian Kirk is expected to make his 49ers debut this week, and he can be started as a deeper bye week or injury fill-in. \u2026 Cleveland’s Denzel Boston is a good fantasy WR2 upside option against Tennessee. \u2026 Tampa Bay will be without Emeka Egbuka, so Ted Hurst III becomes an interesting flex play against Carolina. \u2026 Xavier Worthy is a top option for Kansas City right now, but the Seahawks defense<\/a> ranks second in FFPG allowed to WRs, so you consider another starting choice.<\/p>\n Quarterbacks \u2013 Fantasy Football Week 7<\/p>\n START Jordan Love, Packers: This is a week where top fantasy QBs such as Josh Allen and Trevor Lawrence are unavailable, so Love climbs up the rankings ladder to top 5 fantasy QB territory. No team allows more FFPG to QBs than Detroit, and the Packers have hit their stride at WR with the dangerous duo of Christian Watson and Matthew Golden.<\/p>\n The only QBs I ranked ahead of Love this week on RotoBaller.com<\/a> are Brock Purdy, Drake Maye and Dak Prescott. The Lions rank last in the NFL in passing defense.<\/p>\n START Aaron Rodgers, Steelers: Fantasy players must start taking Rodgers seriously again. He is a top 10 fantasy QB for NFL Week 7 against a New Orleans defense that ranks 25th against the pass. Rodgers has piled up 11 TD passes in his last four games, with three outings of three TD passes during that span. In each of those three games, he finished as a fantasy QB1, including weekly finishes of eighth and third.<\/p>\n Tight Ends \u2013 Fantasy Football Week 7<\/p>\n START Tyler Higbee, Rams: The injuries at WR might force Matthew Stafford to lean even more on his TEs, and Higbee is the most proven pass-catcher in the crew. The Raiders rank 26th in FFPG allowed to TEs.<\/p>\n START Kenyon Sadiq, Jets: If you are looking for a deeper option at TE for Week 7, the Jets rookie may fit the bill. No AFC team allows more FFPG to TEs than Miami, and Sadiq might reward those who start him with a TD reception.<\/p>\n Scott Engel’s *Week 7 Fantasy Football rankings are available at RotoBaller.com.*<\/a> Scott is a member of the inaugural class of the Fantasy Sports Writers Association’s (FSWA) Hall of Fame.
