The Ultimate Fantasy Football Guide: Week 7 Wide Receiver Strategies
In this edition of 'Start 'Em, Sit 'Em', we're diving into the world of fantasy football, specifically focusing on wide receivers and their upcoming matchups. But here's where it gets controversial... we're not just talking about the usual suspects; instead, we're highlighting the players who might just surprise you or fall short of expectations.
So, let's get straight into it!
Start 'Em
Davante Adams vs. Jaguars (London Game)
Adams is a must-start this week, especially with Puka Nacua out. While his recent numbers might not impress, a boost in targets and a favorable matchup against the Jaguars' porous defense could see him bounce back. Their perimeter receivers have been struggling, so Adams could be in for a big game.
Rashee Rice vs. Raiders
Rice returns from suspension and is ready to make an impact. With a solid track record against the Raiders, averaging 18.2 points in two career games, he's a great option. The Raiders have been generous to perimeter receivers, so Rice's return could be a productive one.
Ladd McConkey vs. Colts
McConkey had a breakout game last week, and with 16 targets in his last two games, he's on fire. The Colts have been vulnerable to slot receivers, so McConkey should continue his hot streak.
Courtland Sutton vs. Giants
Sutton had a rough patch, but I predict a rebound against the Giants. Their defense has been leaky, allowing multiple wide receivers to score big. Sutton could be in for a productive day.
Rome Odunze vs. Saints
Odunze had a quiet game against the Commanders, but with a touchdown called back, his potential remains high. The Saints have been generous to perimeter receivers, so Odunze could be a solid starter this week.
Sit 'Em
Michael Pittman Jr. at Chargers
Pittman Jr. had a disappointing game against Arizona, and this week's matchup against the Chargers' stingy defense doesn't bode well. They've kept wide receivers in check, allowing few touchdowns and ranking highly in points allowed.
Devonta Smith at Vikings
Smith has been inconsistent, and this week's matchup against the Vikings' top-ranked defense against wide receivers is a cause for concern. Slot receivers have struggled against them, so Smith might find it tough going.
Jakobi Meyers at Chiefs
Meyers has been ice-cold lately, and a tough road game against the Chiefs might not help. Their defense has been dominant, allowing minimal points to wideouts. It's best to bench Meyers this week.
Jerry Jeudy vs. Dolphins
Jeudy had a decent game against the Steelers, but a matchup against the Dolphins could be tricky. Perimeter receivers have struggled against them, and with Jeudy running most of his routes wide, it might be a challenging day.
Wan'Dale Robinson at Broncos
Robinson had a big game against the Eagles, but this week's matchup in Denver is a different story. The Broncos' defense has been tough on wide receivers, so Robinson might find himself in a tough spot.
