Best fantasy football matchups for Week 7

5. RB Darrel Williams, KC vs. Tennessee Titans

Darrel Williams assumed full starter duties for the Chiefs in Week 6 due to the injury of Clyde Edwards-Helaire. He delivered from a fantasy standpoint, carrying the ball 21 times for 62 yards and two touchdowns. While the yardage wasn’t spectacular, he cashed in on two goal-line opportunities and his touchdown upside going forward is huge.

His passing game work was split with Jerick McKinnon, however, which limits his upside as a true workhorse back while CEH is out. But with the amount of goal-line looks he receives, he still possesses massive upside.

The Titans’ defense has been fairly lackadaisical in 2021, and Williams should have no problem repeating his week 6 success in a game where the Chiefs will have to counter Derrick Henry with a run game of their own.
