Wide Receivers
Jerry Jeudy is projected for 13 PPR points in week 7. He's been dropped in several leagues and now is rostered in just 82% of leagues overall. He will be taking on the Dolphins in week 7.
Jauan Jennings is set for 12 PPR points against the Falcons in week 7. He's currently rostered in 88% of leagues, but that's mostly because he's been dealing with an injury for a couple weeks.
Rashid Shaheed is projected for 11 points against the Bears. He's owned in 87% of leagues right now.
Cooper Kupp is another wideout projected for 11 PPR points. He will have a tougher test against the Texans in week 7. Kupp is rostered in 83% of leagues right now.
Josh Downs is yet another wideout projected for 11 points. He will go up against the Chargers, which is another tougher matchup. Downs is rostered in just 51% of leagues right now.
Matthew Golden is one of the wideouts projected for 10 PPR points. He's rostered in 89% of leagues and will be taking on the Cardinals in week 7.
Marvin Mims is set for 10 points against the Giants, which is a favorable fantasy matchup. He's rostered in just 29% of fantasy leagues.
Travis Hunter is also projected for 10 PPR points. He will face the Rams. Hunter is owned in 83% of leagues right now.
Marquise Brown is set for 10 points in a week 7 clash against the Raiders. He's rostered in 59% of leagues at this time.
Tight Ends
Zach Ertz is projected for nine PPR points in week 7 against the Cowboys. He's rostered in 76% of fantasy leagues right now.
Kyle Pitts Sr. is also set for nine points in week 7. He has a test against the Niners, and is owned in 83% of leagues.
Evan Engram is projected for nine points against the Giants. He is rostered in 52% of fantasy leagues.
Chig Okonkwo is another tight end set for nine fantasy points. He will be taking on the Patriots in week 7, and is rostered in 20% of leagues.
Running Backs
Isiah Pacheco is projected for 12 PPR points in week 7. He has a matchup against the Raiders looming. Pacheco is rostered in 88% of fantasy leagues.
Tyrone Tracy returned last week, but didn't do much for the Giants. In his second week back, he's set for 12 points. He's owned in 60% of leagues and has a tough test against the Broncos, so I'm not agreeing with the projections on this one.
Jerome Ford is another back set for 12 points, yet is someone I don't see finishing near that mark. He's owned in 21% of leagues, but does have a favorable test against the Dolphins coming, so maybe he will surprise.
Nick Chubb is projected for 11 points against the Seahawks in week 7. He's rostered in 82% of fantasy leagues at this moment.
RJ Harvey is another back set for 11 points. He will be going up against the Giants in week 7, and is rostered in 89% of leagues.
Quarterbacks
Brock Purdy is projected for 18 fantasy points in week 7 against the Falcons, which is a tough fantasy matchup for a quarterback. Purdy has been injured on and off for most of the season, so he's only rostered in 75% of leagues now.
Kyler Murray missed week 6 with an injury, so he's only owned in 83% of leagues right now. He's set for 17 fantasy points against the Packers in week 7. If he's back on the field, the dual-threat quarterback is a solid fantasy option.
Trevor Lawrence is projected for 17 points against the Rams in week 7. He is rostered in just 53% of leagues right now.
Tua Tagovailoa and Geno Smith are both projected for 16 fantasy points in week 7. Tagovailoa is rostered in 36% of leagues and will be going up against the Browns this week. Smith is facing the Chiefs, and is owned in 28% of fantasy leagues.
C.J. Stroud, Bryce Young, J.J. McCarthy and Sam Darnold are all projected for 15 points in week 7.
Stroud will be taking on the Seahawks, and is rostered in 65% of leagues now. Darnold is the other end of that QB battle, and has a tough test against Houston - he's rostered in 43% of leagues.
Young has the Jets in week 7. He's rostered in 29% of leagues. McCarthy is working his way back from an injury, and is owned in 33% of leagues - if he doesn't play, then Carson Wentz could be a streaming option again.
