NFL Week 7 Fantasy POV: Start WR’s Ridley, Hopkins; sit Miller
NFL Week 7 Fantasy POV: Start WR’s Ridley, Hopkins; Sit Millervens, Indianapolis Colts, Miami Dolphins or Minnesota Vikings will be derailed from appearing on the “Surefire Starters”, “Underrated” or “Sleeper” lists for week 7 because it is their “Bye” week.
Surefire Starters at Wide Receiver
- Calvin Ridley, Atlanta Falcons wide receiver, has been targeted 57 times, caught 35 passes for 546 yards and 5 touchdowns. He has accumulated 121 FFP and averages 20.2 points per game.
- DeAndre Hopkins, Arizona Cardinals wide receiver, leads all pass catchers with 47 receptions for 601 yards and 2 touchdowns. He is targeted at least 10 times per game and averages 19.8 FFP per game.
- Stefon Diggs, Buffalo Bills wide receiver, is 5 points behind Hopkins in fantasy football scoring. Thielen and Tampa Bay’s Mike Evans share the top spot in touchdown catches with 6.
Riding the Bench
Note: These wide receivers have week 6 ”Byes”.
- Hunter Renfro, Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver
- Keenan Allen, Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver
- Emmanuel Sanders, New Orleans Saints wide receiver
- D.K. Metcalf, Seattle Seahawks wide receiver
Underrated
- Robby Anderson, Carolina Panthers wide receiver, has caught 40 passes for 566 yards and one touchdown. Brown is a playmaker who seems to be healthy after missing two games. He has Benn targeted 51 times and averages 17.2 FFP per game.
Overrated
- Anthony Miller, Chicago Bears wide receiver, has been targeted less as the season progresses. Last week he was targeted times and had 3 catches for 8 yards. Miller shoul not be a starter at wide receiver or the “flex” positon in week 7.

Sleeper WR of the Week
- Amari Cooper, Cowboys wide receiver, has routinely been targeted 10+ times per game by Dallas quarterbacks this season. Last week Cooper was targeted 10 times, caught 7 passes, accumulated 79 yards receiving and scored one touchdown. Expect at least 20+ FFP from Cooper In week 7.
