Fantasy Football Week 7 Start ‘Em & Sit’Em: Jaylen Warren a week-to-week winner, plus sleepers at every position
I’m curious to see some of the receivers that will be used in fantasy lineups in Week 7, especially in deeper formats. While CeeDee Lamb (ankle) and Mike Evans (hamstring) may be back in action after extended absences — and Rashee Rice is now back after serving his six-game suspension — we are still dealing with several ailments at the position.
New injuries for Week 7 include Bukka Nakoa (ankle), Garrett Wilson (knee), Marvin Harrison Jr. (concussion), Emeka Egbuka (hamstring), DJ Moore (groin), Josh Downs (concussion) and Calvin Ridley (hamstring). We are still monitoring other injuries to players who have recently been released, including Terry McLaurin (quadriceps), Quentin Johnstone (hamstring), Ricky Pearsall (knee) and Joan Jennings (ribs).
You need to keep an eye on the injury report all week, and we’ll have you covered on CBS Sports. And depending on who comes out, we could see guys like Elec Eumanor, Sterling Shepard, Zay Jones, Jordan Whittington, and Josh Reynolds, among others, playing prominent roles for fantasy managers in Week 7.
These are desperate plays, but one or two of them could decide your matchup for the week. We’ll let you know if any of these people are your starting options below.
We’ll also touch on other players to use at quarterback, running back, and tight end, and there are plenty of great matchups in Week 7. So let’s get started on making sure your lineups are right for this registration period.

Bosses (vs. LV)
Geno Smith has six interceptions in his past three games, and the Raiders have allowed six sacks in their past two games. Las Vegas also scored a combined 26 points the past two weeks against the Colts and Titans. This should be a great matchup for the Chiefs DST in Week 7.
Brown (vs MIA)
Seahawks (vs. HOU)
Eagles (in MIN)
Chargers (vs. IND)
The Chargers were great on defense in Week 6 at Miami with two sacks and three interceptions, but this is a tougher game. The Colts have allowed just five sacks on the season, and Indianapolis has only four turnovers on the year. The Colts have also scored 71 points in their last two games against the Raiders and Cardinals, and Indianapolis has been over 20 points in each game this season. This is a good week to sit in daylight saving time for the Chargers.
