Week 7 is upon us, and only two teams are on byes. However, there’s another game abroad and a Monday Night Football doubleheader, leaving 10 games on Sunday’s main slate. The following are the players in my player pool for Sunday’s main slate and the showdown slates. It’s worth noting that since I wrote the NFL DFS Lineup Advice piece for this week, Quentin Johnston has upgraded from limited practice participation to full participation. So, while I didn’t feature him in the game stack in the linked piece, he’s included below. Finally, if any injury news prompts necessary changes to the following suggestions, I’ll make an update this weekend.
Updated on 10/19 at 1:20 a.m. ET. Deebo Samuel and Christian Kirk were removed from the suggestions because they were ruled out. Luther Burden was removed because more attractive value selections became available. Others may have been moved to and from the core plays and GPP suggestions, and a few players were added (they were added in italics).
