Fantasy Football Week 7 Wide Receiver Preview: Waiver adds, starts, sits, numbers to know, and more

The large receiver place has been decimated by damage early within the 2025 season, and that continued in Week 6 with Garrett Wilson, Emeka Egubka, Puka Nacua, and Marvin Harrison Jr. leaving their video games. As of now, we do not anticipate any of them for Week 7. We additionally aren’t rating DJ Moore, who spent Monday evening within the hospital and is now day-to-day, in response to Head Coach Ben Johnson. The one constructive information is that none of those accidents are thought of season-ending. We must always get all 4 again sooner slightly than later, similar to we’re anticipating getting Rashee Rice, CeeDee Lamb and Mike Evans again in Week 7. You do not want me to inform you however they need to transfer proper again into your beginning lineup.

One of many ramifications of all these accidents is that it turns into virtually not possible to get away from struggling starters, even in dangerous matchups. That clearly consists of A.J. Brown and Keenan Allen, however this week it could additionally embody Jerry Jeudy. Jeudy leads the Browns with a 21.7% goal share since Dillon Gabriel took over as QB and the crew could possibly be with out David Njoku in Week 7. His opponent, the Dolphins, have given up a minimum of one landing to a receiver each week. Final week Keenan Allen was the primary large receiver this season to see a minimum of seven targets towards the Dolphins and rating fewer than 13 PPR Fantasy factors. 

Tee Higgins in all probability falls in the identical boat after posting a season-high 62 receiving yards towards the Packers. The Steelers are giving up 160 yards per sport to the place.
