NFL DFS Week 7: Key Picks and Value Plays
As Week 7 of the NFL season approaches, fantasy football enthusiasts are preparing for a new slate of games influenced by injuries, bye weeks, and international matchups. This week features a 10-game slate, prompting a search for value plays that can enhance lineups.
C.J. Stroud has shown impressive performance recently, ranking as QB5, QB13, and QB3 over the last three weeks. He has thrown nine touchdowns and only one interception this season, with a completion rate of 65.3%, which rises to 71.6% in his last three games. The Texans are set to face the struggling Giants, who allow significant fantasy points to quarterbacks, making Stroud a viable option for both cash and GPP contests.
Other notable players include Geno Smith, who has had limited success but could be a value play against a Dolphins defense that allows substantial production to quarterbacks. Bucky Irving is also highlighted for his volume and potential against a Panthers defense that struggles against running backs. Meanwhile, rookie wide receiver Denzel Boston is performing well, and Matthew Golden has emerged as a strong option against the Lions. Tight end Tyler Higbee may offer upside against the Raiders, while Evan Engram's matchup against the Cardinals presents a risk-reward scenario for fantasy players.
