1. Puka Nacua
I have Nacua as the top fantasy wideout for Week 7 heading into a slightly above-average test against the Raiders.
The Rams are without Davante Adams for a while, so Nacua should be force-fed the ball, and on volume alone, he should post a monster fantasy score.

St. Brown is rested after a bye and will look to deliver big in Week 7 against Green Bay.
The Packers are a slightly above-average matchup for ARSB, so I believe the Lions' WR1 gets the job done and posts a notable fantasy score.
JSN has been the top fantasy wideout so far, but he has his work cut out for him in the toughest fantasy challenge possible against the Chiefs.
Smith-Njigba is still going to deliver big, but I'd temper expectations just a bit.
Chase is another wideout coming off his bye, and that's good after he dealt with injuries early on.
He has a slightly above-average matchup coming against the Ravens, so Chase should be able to deliver high-end results, like usual.
5. CeeDee Lamb
Lamb has a stellar matchup coming against the Eagles in Week 7, so he could take off this week.
He too has dealt with some injuries, so that's why he doesn't rank any higher here.
Golden gets the top nod among the Packers' wideouts for Week 7.
Detroit is the best possible fantasy matchup for a wideout this week with Buffalo on its bye. Golden has delivered big most of the season, and he should again in this matchup.
Jefferson has a below-average matchup coming against the Colts in Week 7.
I still believe in the uber-talented wideout to get the job done and finish with a top-10 fantasy WR score.
8. Nico Collins
Collins lands the No. 8 spot heading into the week.
He has a slightly below-average test coming against the Giants, but with how the Houston offense has looked of late, I still have high hopes for Collins.
9. Drake London
London has a below-average matchup coming against the Niners in Week 7.
London is still a WR1 to trust, so you should do just that.
10. Chris Olave
Olave is another high-end wideout with a below-average test coming.
He'll take on the Steelers in Week 7. Olave has delivered all year, and I wouldn't expect him to stop, even in a tougher test.
11. Zay Flowers
Flowers has a below-average matchup coming against the Bengals.
Regardless of what QB the Ravens start, I expect Flowers to deliver for his fantasy owners, as he has done over and over again through the years.
12. Malik Nabers
Nabers is a high-end wideout with a very favorable matchup in Week 7.
He'll face the Texans, but I'm tempering expectations with him a bit in J.J. McCarthy's first start with the Giants.
13. Christian Watson
Watson is already the second Green Bay wideout in the rankings.
A stellar matchup against the Lions means both he and Golden could deliver big, as they each have most of the season. We'll see if things change at all if Josh Jacobs is able to play for the first time.
14. DeVonta Smith
Smith has a lower outlook now that Jalen Hurts is out for the season, but a very favorable matchup against the Cowboys still sets him up well in Week 7.
I'd trust Smith to deliver, so he should be starting in all leagues.
McMillan has competition for targets and production in Carolina, but I still expect him to deliver most weeks.
In a pretty average test against the Buccaneers this week, I'd look for McMillan to deliver a good fantasy showing.
16. A.J. Brown
Brown made a quick return after his injury and now is playing on a short week against the Bears.
It's a slightly below-average test, but nothing too daunting. I'd expect more from him in Week 7, so fire him up in starting lineups.
17. Jalen Coker
Here's that other Carolina wideout I was just referencing. Coker has been very good when active this season.
The matchup against the Bucs is good enough to try two Panthers' receivers, so he and McMillan are separated by just a couple slots.
18. George Pickens
Let's go back to that stellar matchup against the Eagles and take another Cowboys' wideout in Pickens.
Pickens and the Cowboys' offense are searching for a breakout game, and it could be coming in this matchup.
19. Tee Higgins
Another WR2 here in Higgins, who plays second fiddle to Chase most weeks.
The above-average test against Baltimore gives him a good outlook, so Higgins can be tried in a lot of leagues.
20. Michael Wilson
Wilson has the WR1 spot in Arizona on lock now, but he's struggled a bit since Marvin Harrison was traded away.
A tougher test against the Broncos awaits too, so Wilson isn't a locked-in starter for this week.
21. Garrett Wilson
Wilson is a good option most weeks, but in a very tough matchup against the Dolphins, he's a bit more of a questionable option.
He'll still start in most leagues, but expectations need to be tempered in what could be a sloppy game.
22. DK Metcalf
Metcalf got rolling in Week 6, and he'll look to keep rolling against New Orleans in Week 7.
The Saints are a pretty average test, so Metcalf is a solid flex-level starting option, if not better on some rosters.
23. Luther Burden
Burden will look to power the Bears' pass catchers in a test against the Patriots.
Right now, that's an average matchup, so Burden is a decent option for Week 7.
24. Carnell Tate
Tate is emerging as the Titans' WR1, and he'll look to deliver in Week 7 against the Browns.
That's an above-average matchup, but nothing too great, so he remains a flex-level option in most leagues.
25. Denzel Boston
In the same Cleveland-Tennessee game, we have Boston, who is taking off for the Browns.
Tennessee is a pretty favorable matchup, so Boston could deliver and even surprise in Week 7.
26. Jameson Williams
Williams is WR2 in Detroit behind St. Brown, but can go off in any game.
His slightly above-average matchup against the Packers in Week 7 gives his fantasy owners a chance to start Williams depending on other options.
27. Jaylen Waddle
Waddle has struggled to get rolling with his new team, but maybe a top-10 matchup against the Cardinals could spark him.
He is a flex-level option for Week 7, but could change that going forward with a big showing this week.
28. Jordan Addison
Addison is the No. 2 wideout in Minnesota behind Jefferson.
Despite a below-average test against the Colts, I see Addison factoring in enough to finish in the top 30 this week.
29. Mike Evans
Evans' status for Week 7 is up in the air, which is a bummer because he has a stellar matchup coming against the Falcons.
With his injury concerns, I only believe in him enough to rank him 29th, even if he's cleared to play.
30. Germie Bernard
I'll give the fast-rising wide receiver the final spot in this week's rankings.
His pretty average test against the Saints doesn't scare me, and I think both he and Metcalf could deliver top-30 fantasy finishes at the position as a result.
