Week 7 Preview: Start, Sits, Sleepers, and Busts!

Welcome to the Week 7 Fantasy Football Preview! In this episode, we break down all the key starts, sits, sleepers, and busts to help you dominate your matchups this week. From quarterbacks to kickers, we cover every position so you can make the best decisions for your fantasy lineup.

Quarterbacks:
We start with the signal callers! Who should you be starting this week? Kirk Cousins has a favorable matchup against a banged-up Seattle defense, while Drake Maye and Andy Dalton are sleepers who could outperform expectations. On the flip side, Aaron Rodgers faces a tough Steelers defense, making him a risky start.

Running Backs:
Next, we dive into the running back position. Brian Robinson Jr. is poised for a big week against one of the worst run defenses in the league—the Panthers. But be cautious with Ray Davis, facing a Titans defense that’s been stifling opposing running backs. Tyler Goodson could be a sneaky sleeper if Taylor sits again, with Miami's run defense giving up plenty of fantasy points.

Wide Receivers:
In the wide receiver section, Diontae Johnson stands out with a heavy target share and a juicy matchup against the Commanders. Meanwhile, Calvin Ridley could be in for another tough week with Will Levis struggling under center. Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Jameson Williams are sleeper picks who could capitalize on their matchups—especially if the volume increases.

Tight Ends:
When it comes to tight ends, Evan Engram and Kyle Pitts have promising matchups and should be in your lineup. Engram has been on fire, and the Patriots have struggled against the position. But Tyler Conklin could get lost in the shuffle with the Jets' new weapons, making him a potential sit this week. Watch out for Dalton Kincaid, too—the Titans are tough on tight ends, so be careful here.

Defense/Special Teams (DST):
On the defensive side, Bills DST is a must-start with rookie QB Will Levis likely to struggle. Rams DST is also a sneaky play coming off a bye with a favorable matchup against a struggling Raiders offense. Avoid Texans DST, as injuries have them facing one of the league's best offenses in Week 7.

Kickers:
Finally, we touch on kickers. While not covered in detail, we give quick thoughts on which kickers are set to capitalize on high-scoring games or favorable weather conditions.
