Fantasy Football Week 7 Expert Picks: Jayden Daniels, Davante Adams, and More

We are one-third of the way through the regular season. Did you think you would have all the answers by now? Any veteran of fantasy football knows better, understanding that more questions usually arise than are answered each week.

Injuries are building, with players at every position going down each week, and new stars keep emerging, even if just for a week or two. All the switching and swapping is tough to keep track of for fantasy owners, particularly those who can't pay full attention during the week.

Luckily, the experts at FantasySP are here to help. Morgan Rode and Daniel Hepner answered five questions pertaining to fantasy football in advance of Week 7 of the NFL season

Is there a quarterback that you are warning owners to keep on the bench this week?

Morgan: Mac Jones or Brock Purdy are who I'd warn fantasy owners to sit in Week 7. I've been advocating to start either guy most weeks, but a tough test against the Falcons is one that I'm wary of. I'd look elsewhere for fantasy help at QB this week.

Daniel: Jaxson Dart ranks among the top 10 fantasy quarterbacks over the past three weeks when he has been starting, running for over 50 yards each game and scoring twice on the ground. He faces maybe the best defense in the league this week in Denver, a team that also holds down quarterbacks on the ground. The Broncos have given up the fourth-fewest yards per pass attempt, the second-fewest fantasy points per game to quarterbacks, and less than 10 rushing yards per game to QBs.

How about a flex-level running back who should be in lineups due to a good matchup?

Morgan: I'll go with Jacory Croskey-Merritt for this one. He's got a stellar matchup this week against the Cowboys, and I see the rookie shining. Make sure he is in your lineup this week!

Daniel: New England faces the Tennessee Titans, who have given up the 12th-most yards per rush attempt and the third-most fantasy points per game to running backs. That struggle in fantasy comes because the Titans have allowed 10 total touchdowns to backs. Rhamondre Stevenson and TreVeyon Henderson are both good flex players who have upside here.

Which wide receiver is going to let owners down in Week 7?

Morgan: I'll go with DeVonta Smith in his tough matchup against the Vikings. Philly's offense has been off all season, and after a mini-bye, I expect them to prioritize A.J. Brown and Saquon Barkley, leaving Smith with few targets and little production. Skip him in standard leagues in this matchup.

Daniel: Things have gone well for the Colts pretty much all season, but this week is a matchup against a really tough Chargers defense. That leaves the receivers at risk of a slow game, including top man Michael Pittman Jr. Los Angeles has allowed the third-fewest yards per pass attempt and the third-fewest fantasy points per game to wide receivers, leaving Pittman with a low floor (though Indianapolis has found success against other good defenses).

Give us a tight end who will finish in the top 10 at the position this week, maybe to the surprise of fantasy owners.

Morgan: I have Harold Fannin in the top 10 for Week 7. I think he's going to lead the Browns, not just at tight end, but among all pass catchers. He has a great matchup, and I see the rookie delivering a big-time fantasy performance. (Note: David Njoku is out for Week 7, leaving Fannin as the top tight end in Cleveland.)

Daniel: Zach Ertz has performed best with Jayden Daniels in the lineup and scored his third touchdown last week with Daniels in his second game back from injury. The Commanders face the Cowboys this week, a team that has allowed more yards per pass attempt than any other team, though they have been a little better against tight ends. This has the chance to be a big performance for both Daniels and Ertz if the TE can find the end zone.

Who will be the fantasy MVP of Week 7?

Morgan: I don't necessarily see him scoring the most fantasy points, but I see Davante Adams shining in the absence of Puka Nacua. With Nacua officially ruled out, I see Adams excelling in a very favorable matchup against the Jaguars.

Daniel: I just mentioned the great matchup that Washington has, and I'll stick there for this question and say the QB Daniels takes this honor. Even without Terry McLaurin in the lineup, Daniels will have plenty of room to both run and pass the ball against a sieve-like defense. This has the makings of a high-scoring game.
