Fantasy Football Guide: Who to Start and Sit in NFL Week 7

Player Status Updates

  • Rashee Rice (Kansas City Chiefs) – Expected to be a high-end WR2 after returning from suspension.
  • Breece Hall (New York Jets) – Projected to lead the league in touches, moving to a high-end RB2 role this week.

Key Matchups

This week, Breece Hall faces the Carolina Panthers, a team that has allowed an average number of fantasy points to running backs. Hall’s performance against the tough Denver Broncos defense last week showcased his potential, despite the team’s overall struggle. With star wide receiver Garrett Wilson potentially sidelined, the Jets will rely heavily on Hall’s contributions.

Position Rankings and Recommendations

When making start-sit decisions, consider these rankings and updates:

  • Start with players ranked highest in their positions.
  • Monitor injuries closely as they can impact player performance.
  • Consult weekly fantasy rankings for the latest updates.

For those managing multiple fantasy players, focus on starting those with the best matchups first. If your player isn’t mentioned, they are likely close in ranking and could be influenced by factors like opposing team injuries or weather conditions.

As the fantasy season progresses, make informed decisions to optimize your roster. Breece Hall’s upward trajectory in touches combined with Rashee Rice’s return sets the stage for an exciting Week 7 in fantasy football.
