Week 7 is here and it’s about the wackiest schedule possible. Bye-weeks? Check. Early morning England game? Check. Dual Monday Night games? Check. It’s another 10-game (11 including Sunday Night on FanDuel) slate for we DFS degenerates to navigate. The fewer games on the slate, the fewer obvious plays there are, so like Week 6, we’ll need to be efficient in our selections. We’ll get a full slate to work with next week, but there are no weeks off in DFS, so let’s get to it! Week 7 DFS Fantasy Football.
Top Week 7 DFS Fantasy Football Picks
Quarterback
It takes someone pretty special to get me to recommend a Quarterback who doesn’t get a lot of rushing production in cash games. Jordan Love ($8700 on FanDuel, $6900 on DraftKings) is HIM as the kids like to say. HIM is an especially appealing target on DK at a mere 13.8% of the salary cap. With so many receiving options in Green Bay he’s tough to stack. If you guess wrong, you’re probably losing on the stack partner you choose because none of them are cheap. We don’t necessarily care about stacking in cash games though since we want to mitigate risk, so that downside doesn’t exist. Green Bay’s defense is playing well of late, allowing only three offensive touchdowns in the past 10 quarters. Houston’s offense is good enough that they should push the Packers’ offense to need to score for four quarters.
In tournaments, I don’t mind Love if you have a specific stack partner you feel strongly about. If you don’t, I’m dropping down a bit on the salary ladder to Jared Goff ($7800 on FD, $6500 on DK, 13% of available salary on both sites). Minnesota is tough to run on and that game should supply a ton of points. The Vikings won’t be the shell of an NFL team that Dallas fielded last week, so I don’t see this being a David Montgomery game. Goff averaged 36 pass attempts in the two games against Minnesota last year. I don’t expect him to throw 55 times as he did in Week 2 against Tampa, but this should easily be his second-highest pass attempt game of the season.
Running Back Week 7 DFS Fantasy Football
Kyren Williams ($8600 FD, $8100 DK) is in a smash spot this week. The Christian Wilkens-less Raiders allowed Najee Harris to go off last week, right when everyone (who hadn’t already) was ready to write him off for good. Williams is “extra-smashy” on FanDuel at only 14.3% of the available salary. Considering FanDuel is 1/2 PPR and more favorable to Running Backs, this seems like a strange pricing disparity. He’ll undoubtedly be cash game chalk on FD.
If you need to go cheap at Running Back this week, Tyler Allgeier ($5800 FD, $5100 DK) is your guy. He got more carries than Bijan Robinson ($8200 FD, $7100 DK) last week. That wasn’t fully game script-related. We’ve now seen two coaching staff refuse to give Robinson full-time touches at the expense of Allgeier. He’s a part of this offense whether Bijan managers like it or not.

Wide Receiver
What am I missing with Drake London ($7500 FD, $6900 DK)? He’s averaged 11 targets per game over the last four weeks, yet he’s the 14th (FanDuel) and 11th (DraftKings) highest-priced Wide Receiver? It makes no sense. I wrote him up last week, and I’m still riding him until his price catches up to his production.
You’ve been waiting for it, and here it is! the Russell Erxleben Memorial Punt Play of the Week is Noah Brown ($5000 FD, $4000 DK) of the Washington Commanders. He returned from his groin injury last week and got 8 targets against the Ravens. A matchup with the Panthers should provide him the opportunity to add a touchdown to his line and easily pay off his salary.
Tight End
Brock Bowers ($7000 FD, $5800 DK), Brock Bowers, Brock Bowers. In the last two weeks (sans Davante Adams), he’s turned 22 targets into 17 catches, 168 yards, and a touchdown. Davante Adams no longer plays for the Raiders of Las Vegas. He’s a week away from being the highest-priced Tight End. Get in while he’s still affordable.
Need a pauper Tight End? Might I interest you in Grant Calcaterra ($5100 FD, $3200 DK)? His production last week after Dallas Goedert went out injured was enough to pay off his DK salary for this week. Goedert’s out this week, so Calcaterra stands to inherit his full snap share.
Defense
My preferred Defense of Week 7 is the Los Angeles Rams ($4100 FD, $3000 DK). They’re coming off their bye so they’re rested and fresh. The Raiders have been turnover machines with either Aiden O’Connell or Gardner Minshew under center. If you’re a proponent of the RB/DEF stack, they pair nicely with Kyren Williams. It may feel a bit awkward to pair them with Bowers at TE, but Bowers is really the only production option for Vegas. If he scores their only touchdown you can still get there with him and the Rams D in your lineup.
