5 best fantasy football matchups to exploit for Week 7

1. Kenneth Walker, RB, Seattle Seahawks (vs. LAC)

If you drafted Kenneth Walker in August and were smart (and patient) enough to hold onto him for five weeks, you were granted an RB1 with possible league-winning upside. The second-round rookie took over the Seattle Seahawks backfield in the wake of Rashaad Penny’s season-ending injury and did not disappoint. He ran 21 times for 97 yards and a touchdown, adding two catches for 13 yards. Installed as a workhorse for Seattle’s run-heavy offense, Walker is a solid option the rest of the way.

This week, Walker gets a beautiful on-paper matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers, who seem to have running backs go wild against them week after week. They’re allowing the most fantasy points per game to running backs in 2022, and they face a tough test with a Seattle team that runs the ball hard and effectively. Walker has top-10 upside this week and is an obvious start. Play him in any DFS lineups you can too, even at an increased price.
