Navigating your fantasy football roster each week can be challenging, especially with injuries and bye weeks complicating decisions. Week 7 presents unique opportunities and pitfalls. Here’s your guide to who to start and who to sit to maximize your chances of winning.

Quarterbacks: Start 'Em

  • QB1: Patrick Mahomes (Kansas City Chiefs): Mahomes is a weekly must-start, regardless of the matchup. His ability to make plays under pressure and his rapport with his receivers make him a top-tier option.
  • QB2: Josh Allen (Buffalo Bills): Allen’s dual-threat capability gives him a high floor and ceiling each week.

Quarterbacks: Sit 'Em

  • QB1: Matthew Stafford (Los Angeles Rams): Facing a tough defense and dealing with offensive line issues, Stafford might struggle to put up big numbers this week.
  • QB2: Russell Wilson (Denver Broncos): Wilson's inconsistency makes him a risky start. Until he shows more consistency, keep him on the bench.

Running Backs: Start 'Em

  • RB1: Bijan Robinson (Atlanta Falcons): Despite some inconsistent usage, Robinson's talent is undeniable. He should be in your lineup, especially in PPR formats.
  • RB2: Josh Jacobs (Las Vegas Raiders): Jacobs is the workhorse back for the Raiders and should see plenty of volume.

Running Backs: Sit 'Em

  • RB1: Miles Sanders (Carolina Panthers): Sanders has been underwhelming. The Panthers' struggling offense limits his upside.
  • RB2: AJ Dillon (Green Bay Packers): Dillon has not lived up to expectations. Avoid starting him until he shows signs of improvement.

Wide Receivers: Start 'Em

  • WR1: Justin Jefferson (Minnesota Vikings): Jefferson is a must-start when healthy. His connection with his quarterback makes him a weekly threat for big games.
  • WR2: CeeDee Lamb (Dallas Cowboys): Lamb is the clear top receiver in Dallas and should be a focal point of their passing game.

Wide Receivers: Sit 'Em

  • WR1: Michael Thomas (New Orleans Saints): Thomas has been inconsistent and is hard to trust in your starting lineup.
  • WR2: Allen Lazard (New York Jets): Lazard has not established himself as a reliable target. Keep him on the bench.

Tight Ends: Start 'Em

  • TE1: Travis Kelce (Kansas City Chiefs): Kelce is the gold standard at tight end and a must-start every week.
  • TE2: Darren Waller (New York Giants): Waller is a key target in the Giants' passing game.

Tight Ends: Sit 'Em

  • TE1: Tyler Higbee (Los Angeles Rams): Higbee's production has been limited. There are better options available.
  • TE2: Logan Thomas (Washington Commanders): Thomas is touchdown-dependent and hard to rely on for consistent production.

Making the right start/sit decisions can be the difference between a win and a loss in fantasy football. Stay informed, analyze matchups, and trust your instincts. Good luck in Week 7!
