Fantasy football bold predictions for Week 7 so you can get the upper-hand on your opponent and win your matchup this week.
Bold fantasy football predictions for Week 7 so you can win your matchup and continue marching toward a playoff spot.
Generally speaking, these fantasy football predictions are based on a 10-team, PPR league perspective. Most of the time, the assertions will apply to all aspects of fantasy football. If some sleepers are honorably mentioned, don’t be upset that the player is considered a sleeper when he may be the best option you have to plug-and-play.
Not all leagues abide by the traditional 10-man format, and some leagues are even more exciting when they’re out-of-the-norm leagues.
For full disclosure, let’s hold ourselves accountable for last week:
- JuJu Smith-Schuster has a day. Incorrect. He had one of the quietest games in his career.
- Patriots defense stymies Broncos. Correct. If you took this at face value, you were lucky. Denver did not score a touchdown vs. New England, but the Broncos won the game.
- Jonathan Taylor has a big RB1 day vs. Bengals. Mostly Correct. Taylor notched 115 yards from scrimmage but no touchdowns.
- Aaron Jones is a mini-bust. Mostly Correct. The Packers running back dug up 13 PPR points and was mostly tamed by the Buccaneers.
- Matthew Stafford scripts a big week. Incorrect. Stafford was pedestrian, but his team was victorious.
On to Week 7. Here are five relatively brazen predictions that are associated with Week 7 only. Not all of these projections will be accurate all of the time. Fantasy football dealings are topsy-turvy. Overall, though, let this season-long series serve as a pocketbook to your fantasy strategy.
