Fantasy Football Week 7 Start/Sit Advice
Sleepers
Which player outside of the top 100 in the FantasyPros Flex rankings is a good sleeper start, and why do you think he has upside this week?
Evan Engram (TE – DEN)
Evan Engram in a revenge game against the Giants could make for a solid start this week for fantasy managers. Engram has been solid over the last two weeks, registering nine catches on 12 targets for 75 yards and a score. The Giants, after an impressive win last week versus Philly, did concede nine catches for 110 yards and a score last week to Dallas Goedert, only adding further intrigue to Engram’s potential in Week 7. For those who question the revenge game narrative, just ask Rico Dowdle‘s managers how they are feeling right about now.”

Duds
Which player inside the top 40 in the FantasyPros Flex rankings is likely to disappoint fantasy managers this week?
Deebo Samuel Sr. (WR – WAS)
“Deebo Samuel has been great this season and has bounced back after a rough two seasons. But, he didn’t deliver in Week 6 and didn’t look fully healthy. This week, he gets an amazing matchup, but I am concerned about the heel. He turned four passes into 15 yards. I do not think you get a top-40 fantasy football week from Samuel in Week 7.”

Tetairoa McMillan (WR – CAR)
“Tetairoa McMillan is a star in the making, but this might not be a banner week for him. The rookie receiver will likely draw shadow coverage from Sauce Gardner, who has allowed only 10 receptions for 170 yards on throws into his coverage this season. And McMillan’s target delivery mechanism is Bryce Young, who’s averaging 5.8 yards per pass attempt.”
