Waiting for week 7 Fantasy NFLowners who don’t have significant runway depth will be stuck some of the most difficult decisions it is from the era. Our rankings for both standard and PPR leagues can be crucial to filling in the gaps the right way.
Dalvin Cook, Miles Sanders, Devin Singletary and Darell Henderson Jr. they are on vacation. The only advantage? All four teams have good defenses, so at least we don’t have to worry about those bad matchups. However, injuries remain a major concern as well Jonathan Taylor (ankle), JK Dobbins (knee), James Conner (rib) and D’Andre Swift (ankle) are up in the air.
Kenyan Drake (against the Browns in Week 7) would be the first-stringer in a favorable matchup if Dobbins couldn’t play. Despite the tough matchups, Eno Benjamin (vs. Saints) and Jamaal Williams (vs. Cowboys) would also be essential if they start. The Colts’ situation is more of a question mark, as Nyheim Hines (concussion) also missed last week and Deon Jackson (quadriceps) left early in Week 6. Ideally, Taylor (@Titans) is ready to play and you can start with him without hesitation.

Damien Harris (ankle) is also injured, but Rhamondre Stevenson (vs. Bears) is among the youngsters who should start even if Harris is active. Rookies Breece Hall (@Broncos) and Kenneth Walker III (@Chargers) are also in this group despite different matchups. Hall faces the No. 5 RB defense in Fantasy NFL (Denver), while Walker has a date with the second-worst unit. Brian Robinson Jr. (vs. Packers) should also be considered a must-play player after his 17-run, 60-yard, one-TD performance last week.
Ezekiel Elliott (vs. Lions) gets most of the work, even though fellow prospect Tony Pollard often looks better. Fortunately both are easy outs this week against the last running defense (Lions). Aaron Jones ( @Commanders ) looked to outplay AJ Dillon essentially in Weeks 4 and 5, but then Dillon outplayed Jones in a brutal home loss to the Jets. Neither has done much (or has done much during the year)but considering how thin the owners are this week, both Jones and Dillon at least have the benefit of being flexible.

The Jaguar duo, James Robinson Y Travis Etienne (vs. Giants), it’s also confusing, but it looks like Etienne has taken over the nominal role of “1A.” However, Robinson still has a chance to get a TD, so he’s on the line against a Giants defense that was just dismantled by Kenyan Drake. In the same way, The Falcons backfield of Tyler Allgeier and Caleb Huntley (@Bengals) is hard to pin down, and we don’t like either as more than a flexibility in 12-team leagues this week.
David Montgomery (@Patriots) and Clyde Edwards-Helaire (@49ers) are this week’s top headliners (yes, even more so than Najee Harris, who has a favorable matchup with Miami). While both have low ceilings, we like them better than secondary linebackers Mike Boone (vs. Jets), Kareem Hunt (@Ravens) and Michael Carter (@Broncos).
