Want to build the ultimate DFS lineup in Week 7? We\u2019ve got the perfect mix of superstar, high-floor fantasy studs and under-the-radar, slept-on options. Take a look and crush your Sunday.<\/p>\n

FanDuel’s Tournament-style offering<\/a> gives fans a $60,000 budget (or salary cap). Up to nine players, including a defense, may be selected, and each NFLer is priced based on their statistical output throughout the season. FanDuel utilizes a half-point-per-reception (PPR) scoring system.<\/p>\n

QB Jordan Love, Green Bay Packers ($7,600)\"Jordan<\/p>\n

The red-hot Green Bay Packers ride into Detroit on a three-game winning streak and with the league\u2019s fifth-best passing attack (269.3 yards per contest). Jordan Love<\/a>\u2019s been as consistent as they come from a production standpoint, tossing for at least two touchdowns in five out of six weeks this season. <\/p>\n

He faces a Lions defense that surrenders the most fantasy points to quarterbacks and tight ends (third most to wideouts, as well), positioning him nicely for a monster Sunday.<\/p>\n

RB Jahmyr Gibbs, Detroit Lions ($9,800)\"Gibbs<\/p>\n

At this point, it feels irresponsible not to select Gibbs<\/a> in daily fantasy. His services come at a high cost, but his output is worth it. He leads all running backs in total fantasy points accumulated in 2026 (140.2) and averages more fantasy points per week than any other player in the NFL (28.0). He\u2019s also a touchdown machine, leading all non-QB position players with nine. Aside from Josh Allen, he\u2019s the closest to a sure thing that exists in fantasy right now, so Jahmyr Gibbs, welcome to the squad.<\/p>\n

RB Braelon Allen, New York Jets ($6,300)\"Braelon<\/p>\n

It\u2019s unclear if Breece Hall will make his return on Sunday, but it is very clear that the Miami Dolphins\u2014the Jets\u2019 Week 7 opponents\u2014struggle to stop the run. The Fins allow the second-most fantasy points per game to halfbacks (25.8), and since Hall went down with a right quad injury, Allen\u2019s amassed 55 carries, 253 yards, and a touchdown. <\/p>\n

If Hall does start, at a minimum, \u201cBraelon is going to get his touches too,\u201d according to head coach Aaron Glenn<\/a>. At a maximum, if Hall sits, he\u2019ll command a majority of rushes against a susceptible Dolphins defense.<\/p>\n

WR Malik Nabers, New York Giants ($7,900)\"Nabers<\/p>\n

Nabers has been balling out in his last three games, leading all wide receivers in fantasy points accumulated in half-PPR formats (66.3). Although he\u2019ll be playing with a new quarterback this weekend in J.J. McCarthy, the two showed chemistry in the fourth quarter of Week 6 vs. the Saints, connecting on four passes for 95 yards, which included a 46-yard reception. Against the Houston Texans, who give up the second-most fantasy points to wide receivers, Nabers is likely to stay hot.<\/p>\n

WR Ja\u2019Marr Chase, Cincinnati Bengals ($8,800)\"Chase<\/p>\n

Chase never makes life easy for defenses, and he\u2019s especially dominant against Baltimore\u2019s secondary. According to PFF<\/a>, the All-Pro wideout has caught for 384 yards (3.76 per route run) when matched up against Ravens\u2019 cornerback Marlon Humphrey. He\u2019s also posted a 40.54% target rate in the 37 career routes he\u2019s run against Nate Wiggins. Expect Burrow and the Bengals to try to feed their WR1 often.<\/p>\n

WR Matthew Golden, Green Bay Packers ($6,700)\"Matthew<\/p>\n

In his last four games, Golden has caught three touchdowns and eclipsed 100 receiving yards thrice. Green Bay\u2019s Week 7 opponents, the Detroit Lions, surrender the third most fantasy points to wide receivers per game. Although both he and Christian Watson appeared on the team\u2019s injury report this week, coach Matt LaFleur downplayed any concern<\/a>, meaning that the dynamic duo could be in line for big performances against a shaky pass defense.<\/p>\n

TE Kenyon Sadiq, New York Jets ($5,000)\"Expect<\/p>\n

The Dolphins have allowed 22 receptions, 173 yards, and two touchdowns to tight ends in their last two contests. They also rank 32nd<\/a>, dead last, in yards per route run conceded to TEs and are bottom-four in fantasy points surrendered to the position. Meanwhile, Sadiq ranks sixth in target share among TEs (24.17%). If past performance is any indication, the Jets will likely look to Sadiq to exploit Miami.<\/p>\n

FLEX Josh Cuevas, Baltimore Ravens ($4,300)\"Cuevas<\/p>\n

The 5th round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft is coming off the best game of his young professional career. In Baltimore\u2019s 13-10 loss to Cleveland, he was targeted five times, hauled in four passes (tied for second on the team), and scored a touchdown. <\/p>\n

Mark Andrews should remain ahead of him on the depth chart, but it appears that Cuevas may be carving out a spot for himself in the Ravens\u2019 offense. For that reason, we see him as a low-cost, high-reward pickup.<\/p>\n

Defense, Arizona Cardinals ($3,400)<\/p>\n

This selection is entirely about matchup. The Cardinals give up the most points per game in the NFL (29.7), are 23rd in total defense (350.5 yards per contest), and have allowed the most touchdowns of any team (23). That said, they held an elite L.A. Rams offense in Week 6 to just 16 points\u2014recording three sacks and one takeaway\u2014and in Week 7, they take on a faltering Denver Broncos offense that has far more questions about Bo Nix and the running back position than answers.<\/p>\n
