Fantasy football wide receiver values are constantly changing from week to week as some receivers fail to meet high expectations while others start to emerge as wide receiver sleepers.  If bye weeks or injuries have stretched your season-long fantasy football league roster to the breaking point or you need a cheap play for your DFS fantasy football team, check out my five sleeper wide receivers on the following slides for week 7 of the NFL season.

As with all my weekly sleeper posts, I’m not going to focus in this list on big name stars at the top of the salary structure in daily leagues and already universally owned in season-long leagues. You won’t find DeAndre Hopkins, Antonio Brown, or even John Brown listed here.  Instead, I’ll try and select some lesser-known receivers who can be picked up on waivers or purchased at a low price who I think are in a position to step up this week.

Last week, I separated my sleeper picks by position for the first time listing my five sleeper wide receiver in this post. Last week, my sleeper wide receivers included some hits–like Stefon Diggs and Allen Hurns–as well as a few misses mainly Kendall Wright.  Hopefully, my new more focused approach allows my picks produce some good numbers for us at affordable prices or coming off the waiver wire for week 7

Yesterday, I started the weekend with a breakdown of five sleeper running backs who I think can help you this week.  If you’re looking for our complete fantasy football coverage, check out our fantasy football hub which is always loaded with tips, picks, and the latest injury news.  You can find my full week 7 recap tomorrow morning and my waiver wire pickups early on Tuesday.  If you have lineup questions for one-week or your season-long leagues, I’ll answer as many as I can before kickoff on Twitter @FansidedFantasy.

Let’s get rolling with my wide receiver sleepers for fantasy football week 7.
