Kyler Murray has been CLIMBING up the rankings each and every week due not only to his arm, but also his ability to rush for fantasy points. Murray will take on a Giants secondary who is struggling and he will be able to continue his hot streak agaisnt them. Murray is number 6 in the rankings this week and possesses top 3 upside. Fantasy Projection: 252 yards 1.6 TDs passing 40 rush yards 0.4 TDs
I know Gardner Minshew had an extemely tough week 6 and let down a lot of fantasy owners, but that was against a Saints defense who has been able to stop the run and get after opposing quarterbacks. Basically, It was a TOUGH matchup. I want to remind you to just trust the process for this week and the process says ‘play all QBs against the Bengals’. The past 3 QBs who have faced the Bengals have each put up at least 15 fantasy points, two of which put up over 20 including over 90 rushing yards each. I expect Minshew will have a bounce back day against the Bengals in week 7. Fantasy Projection: 218 yards 1.3 TDs passing 22 yards 0.1 TDs

Leonard Fournette has risen to the top of the RB rankingsin week 7 due to his increased usage both in the run game and the pass game as well as his juicy matchup! Against an extremely difficult matchup in week 6 Fournette had 20 rushes for 72 yards as weel as 6 receptions for 46 yards. He may not have scored a TD, but he had a very impressive game agaisnt the Saints who are not an easy opponent. Now he will face the easiest opponent in the league who are allowing over 185 yards rushing per game. Fournette is about to have a field day against the hepless Bengals. Fantasy Projection: 76 yards rushing 0.7 TDs 5 receptions 42 yards 0.1 TDs receiving
Unfortunately it looks like Aaron Jones is back to a complete time share with his running mate Williams especially after a crucial fumble and dropped TD pass in week 6. After week 5 it looked so promising, but now Jones has come crashing back down to Earth. Jones had 15 touches amounting to 60 total yards, not enough to make him an RB1 week to week thats for sure. This week Jones will take on the Raiders who are in the top half of the league against the run allowing 92 yards per game. I expect Jones will struggle again in week 7. Fantasy Projection: 57 yards 0.6 TDs rushing 3 receptions 0.1 TD receiving

This is all of the Rams receiver’s chances to bounce back and have a huge game and I think Robert Woods has as good a chance as any to perform to his full potential. The Rams got absolutely shut down by the 49ers including Woods although he was saved by 16 yards and a rushing TD, still very disappointing. Woods will face Atlanta in week 7 which is one of the best opponents for an opposing receiver to face especially for receivers who spend time in shorter passing yard roles. Woods will bounce back in week 7. Fantasy Projection: 6 recpetions 69 yards 0.4 TDs
Stefon Diggs had a blow up week in week 6 where he went for 7 receptions 167 yards and 3 TDs. These are the weeks you were expecting from Diggs when you drafted him as a high end WR2. In previous weeks you did not see even a glimpse of this upside besides one week where he went over 100 yards. Although this was a great week it proves that Diggs will most likely be a boom or bust player for this season. This week he will face the Detroit Lions are a fairly good matchup for receivers, but I want to see at least one more consistent game from Diggs before having him as any more than a low end WR2. Fantasy Projection: 4 receptions 61 yards 0.5 TDs
Tight Ends
- Travis Kelce KC at DEN
- George Kittle SF at WAS
- Evan Engram NYG vs. ARI
- Austin Hooper ATL vs. LAR
- Zach Ertz PHI at DAL
- Hunter Henry LAC at TEN
- Darren Waller OAK at GB
- Mark Andrews BAL at SEA
- Gerald Everett LAR at ATL
- Delanie Walker TEN vs. LAC
- T.J. Hockenson DET vs. MIN
- Jimmy Graham GB vs. OAK
If Evan Engram plays this week he will easily be one of the top options at the TE position for week 7. Engram is working back from an injury, but it seems as if he will play this week. He will face the Arizona Cardinals who are easily the best matchup for opposing TE’s. Any TE against the Cardinals will most likely have their best fantasy day of the year. Fantasy Projection: 6 receptions 73 yards 0.4 TDs
