We’re back to breakdown all of the fantasy football rankings that you need to know to win your Week 7 matchup for fantasy football!

A trade later in the day Friday shakes some things up this week, along with some key inactive players. Hopefully, you were able to race to the waiver wire to get Nick Chubb after news broke that Carlos Hyde got traded to the Jacksonville Jaguars. He should see something close to the role Hyde had and hopefully that means Duke Johnson gets some more touches as well. Let’s see where they fall in the running back Fantasy Football Rankings this week.

Quarterback – Fantasy Football Rankings

1. Patrick Mahomes, vs Cincinnati BengalsĀ 

2. Matt Ryan, vs New York GiantsĀ 

3. Jared Goff, at San Francisco 49ersĀ 

4. Tom Brady, at Chicago Bears – The New England offense is healthy and the Bears defense showed some cracks last week

5. Kirk Cousins, at New York JetsĀ 

6. Cam Newton, at Philadelphia Eagles – The Philly defense is tough but Cam has so many ways to score points

7. Baker Mayfield, at Tampa Bay – This defense can’t stop anyone

8. Andy Dalton, at Kansas City ChiefsĀ 

9. DrewĀ Brees, at Baltimore RavensĀ 

10. Carson Wentz, vs Carolina PanthersĀ 

11. Philip Rivers, vs Tennessee Titans – In London makes the game harder to gauge but Rivers should still be very solid

12. Matthew Stafford, at Miami DolphinsĀ 

13. Jameis Winston, vs Cleveland BrownsĀ 

14. Joe Flacco, vs NewĀ Orleans SaintsĀ 

15. Andrew Luck, vs Buffalo Bills – The Buffalo defense has quietly been playing very well after getting hammered the first couple of weeks

16. Mitchell Trubisky, vs New England PatriotsĀ 

17. Eli Manning, at Atlanta Falcons – He can only check down to Saquon Barkley but that might be all he needs to do against Atlanta

18. Deshaun Watson, at Jacksonville JaguarsĀ 

19. C.J. Beathard, vs Los Angeles RamsĀ 

20. Dak Prescott, at Washington Redskins – This is about the point where you don’t really want any of these players

21. Alex Smith, vs Dallas CowboysĀ 

22. Marcus Mariota, vs Los Angeles Chargers

23. Brock Osweiler, vs Detroit LionsĀ 

24. Sam Darnold, vs Minnesota VikingsĀ 

25. Derek Anderson, atĀ Indianapolis ColtsĀ 

Running Back – Fantasy Football Rankings

1. Todd Gurley, at San Francisco 49ersĀ 

2. Saquon Barkley, at Atlanta Falcons – The slight be the first time all year I’ve at least considered not ranking Gurley number 1 that I can remember

3. Melvin Gordon, vs Tennessee TitansĀ 

4. Kareem Hunt, vs Cincinnati Bengals – He’s been heating up

5. Joe Mixon, at Kansas City ChiefsĀ 

6.Ā Ezekiel Elliott, at Washington Redskins – They have an underrated defense but Zeke is matchup proof

7. Sony Michel, at Chicago BearsĀ 

8. Alvin Kamara, at Baltimore Ravens – We’re going to find out if Week 5 was just a bump in the road or not

9. Tarik Cohen, vs New England PatriotsĀ 

10. Christian McCaffrey, at Philadelphia EaglesĀ 

11. Mark Ingram, at Baltimore RavensĀ 

12. James White, at Chicago BearsĀ 

13. Nick Chubb, at Tampa Bay Buccaneers – The newly crowned starter for the Browns should be able to get off and running this week

14. Latavius Murray, at New York Jets – Don’t expect a repeat of last week but the volume is going to be there

15. LeSean McCoy, at Indianapolis ColtsĀ 

16. T.J. Yeldon, vs Houston TexansĀ 

17. Tevin Coleman, vs New York GiantsĀ 

18. Kerryon Johnson, at Miami Dolphins – I’m begging the Lions to not give most of the Theo Riddick role to Ameer Abdullah

19. Matt Breida, vs Los Angeles RamsĀ 

20. Jordan Howard, vs New England PatriotsĀ 

21. Marlon Mack, vs Buffalo BillsĀ 

22. Corey Clement, vs Carolina Panthers – Clement should be fully healthy now and I think he leads the Philly committee if he is

23. Adrian Peterson, vs Dallas CowboysĀ 

24. Peyton Barber, vs Cleveland Browns – The Browns haven’t been too tough on running backs and Barber is the clear lead dog if last week was any indication

25. Duke Johnson, at Tampa Bay BuccaneersĀ 

26. Kenyan Drake, vs Detroit Lions – It’s a shame there’s no confidence to play him because the matchup is incredible

27. Alex Collins, vs New Orleans SaintsĀ 

28.Ā Wendell Smallwood, vs Carolina PanthersĀ 

29. Frank Gore, vs Detroit Lions – I wouldn’t be shocked if Gore scored more fantasy points in this spot

31. Ito Smith, vs New York GiantsĀ 

32. Bilal Powell, vs Minnesota VikingsĀ 

33. Chris Thompson, vs Dallas CowboysĀ

1. Adam Thielen, at New York Jets

2. Tyreek Hill, vs Cincinnati BengalsĀ 

3. A.J. Green, at Kansas City ChiefsĀ 

4. Odell Beckham, Jr., at Atlanta Falcons – If Beckham and company can’t get it done here, it’ll be time to panic

5. Julio Jones, vs New York Giants – Lots of top flight receivers facing off this week

6. Robert Woods, at San Francisco 49ersĀ 

7. Michael Thomas, at Baltimore RavensĀ 

8. Keenan Allen, vsĀ Tennessee TitansĀ 

9. DeAndre Hopkins, at JacksonvilleĀ Jaguars – The Jaguars defense hasn’t been quite what we though in some spots

10. Brandin Cooks, at San Francisco 49ersĀ 

11. Mike Evans, vs Cleveland Browns – Evans has been quiet the past couple of games

12. Jarvis Landry, at Tampa Bay BuccaneersĀ 

13. Stefon Diggs, at New York Jets – Keep an eye on the wind factor in this game

14. Golden Tate, at Miami Dolphins – He should see the least of Xavien Howard

15. Tyler Boyd, at Kansas City ChiefsĀ 

16. John Brown, vs New Orleans SaintsĀ 

17. Alshon Jeffery, vs Carolina PanthersĀ 

18. Josh Gordon, at Chicago Bears – The breakout game is coming sooner than later

19. Devin Funchess, at Philadelphia EaglesĀ 

20. Julian Edelman, at Chicago BearsĀ 

21. Kenny Golladay, at Miami DolphinsĀ 

22. Chris Godwin, vs Cleveland Browns – He just keeps getting work in the red zone

23.Ā Sterling Shepard, atĀ Atlanta Falcons – Despite the glorious matchup, it’s hard to bank on Eli keeping both receivers afloat

24. Allen Robinson, vs New England PatriotsĀ 

25. Michael Crabtree, vs New Orleans SaintsĀ 

26. Marvin Jones, at Miami DolphinsĀ 

27. Jermaine Kearse, vs Minnesota Vikings – Someone has to catch the ball

29. Willie Snead, vs New Orleans Saints – Revenge!!!

30. Taylor Gabriel, vs New England PatriotsĀ 

31. T.Y. Hilton, vs Buffalo Bills – Welcome back to the lineup, T.Y. and good luck with Tre’Davious White on the other side

32. Sammy Watkins, vs Cincinnati BengalsĀ 

33. Calvin Ridley, vs New York GiantsĀ 

34. DeSean Jackson, vs Cleveland Browns

Tight End – Fantasy Football Rankings

1. Travis Kelce, vs Cincinnati Bengals – He’s been my TE1 for a couple of weeks now

2. Zach Ertz, vs Carolina Panthers – He’s just a receiver masquerading as a tight end

3. Rob Gronkowski, at Chicago Bears – It’s really been a disappointing season for Gronk and the offense has even more mouths to feed than it did two weeks ago

4. David Njoku, at Tampa Bay Buccaneers – Much like the rest of the passing game, Njoku couldn’t draw a better matchup

5. George Kittle, vs Los Angeles Rams – The 49ers are going to have to score a bunch of points in this one and kittle should get his after a quiet week last week

6. Austin Hooper, vs New York Giants – Can the young tight end on the rise make it three straight weeks?

7. C.J. Uzomah, at Kansas City Chiefs – He’s the lone tight end for this team in a game that should be high scoring

8. Eric Eborn, vs Buffalo Bills – Will the return of Hilton make any difference for Ebron?

9. Trey Burton, vs New England Patriots – He’s been finding the end zone but not doing much else lately

10. O.J. Howard, vs Cleveland Browns – I’m not sure how anyone stops this guy

11. Jordan Reed, vs Dallas Cowboys – It’s been a very rough couple of weeks for Reed but it’s hard to bench him

12. KyleĀ Rudolph, at New York Jets – It’s hard to satisfy two receivers and a tight end every single week

14.Ā Ā Greg Olsen, at Philadelphia Eagles – He played every snap but didn’t do a ton last week

15. Cameron Brate, vs Cleveland Browns – Even a single touchdown catch from Jameis Winston like last week can make him viable
