Week 7 Fantasy Football Outlooks
Below are some fantasy football outlooks written by our NFL team here at RotoBaller, bringing you their fantasy football analysis and advice on which players to consider starting in Week 7:
Quinshon Judkins, Cleveland Browns
Cleveland Browns running back Quinshon Judkins has a good matchup in his return to the field in Week 7 against the Tennessee Titans, who rank in the bottom third of the league in rushing defense. Judkins missed Week 6 with an ankle injury and has a nice matchup with Tennessee, which allows 122.5 rushing yards per game which ranks No. 21 in the NFL and has given up six rushing touchdowns.
Judkins, the Ohio State product, has not had an overwhelming start to the season with just 3.0 yards per rush and one rushing touchdown on the season. But he has carried the ball at least 12 times in each game he has played, and he has at least two catches in the passing game in each game with a game-high of six receptions against Pittsburgh in Week 4.
The likely return of Dylan Sampson (questionable) could mean that Judkins loses out on some carries, but his good matchup and his involvement in the passing game make him a solid start in Week 7.
Garrett Wilson, New York Jets
New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson caught four of his six targets for 44 yards during Sunday's Week 6 loss against the New England Patriots. This was just the second time this season that Wilson finished with fewer than 13.0 fantasy points in PPR leagues. His quiet game wasn't necessarily reflective of the Jets' offensive performance as a whole. Instead, he simply wasn't the most productive Jets receiver on Sunday.
Wilson ended up being out-produced by rookie Omar Cooper Jr., who caught six passes for 103 yards and one touchdown. There's no question that Wilson is still the top receiver on the depth chart, and he should have no trouble bouncing back as a low-end WR1 against a struggling Miami Dolphins squad in Week 7.
Saquon Barkley, Philadelphia Eagles
Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley (hamstring) was listed as a limited participant in Friday's practice for the second straight day. Barkley is back practicing with the team after missing each of the last two games due to a hamstring injury he suffered in the Week 4 loss to the Los Angeles Rams, but he is not a lock to return for Monday night's showdown against the division-rival Dallas Cowboys in Week 7.
If Barkley does not upgrade to a full practice on Saturday, he could very well be a game-time decision on Monday night, which would be a worst-case scenario for his fantasy managers. Dameon Pierce, who made the start in the Week 6 loss to the Carolina Panthers with Barkley out, is a must-add RB if he is available on the waiver wire and you have Barkley rostered.
The 29-year-old Barkley has averaged 5.1 yards per carry through four games in 2026, but he has yet to find the end zone, and the sledding will be more difficult when he returns with quarterback Jalen Hurts (blood clots) out for the year. The Eagles could also be without their top two receivers, DeVonta Smith (hamstring) and Dontayvion Wicks (ankle), against Dallas.
Fantasy managers will need to treat Barkley as more of a flex option this week in a decimated Eagles offense with an injury hanging over his head.
Germie Bernard, Pittsburgh Steelers
With multiple injuries in the Pittsburgh Steelers' wide receiver room, rookie wide receiver Germie Bernard has stepped up over the past two weeks, and he should continue to play a significant role for the foreseeable future. Bernard saw 12 targets in a 26-19 overtime victory against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 6. He recorded 11 receptions, which tied with DK Metcalf for the team high, and recorded 87 receiving yards and a touchdown.
Over the last two games combined, Bernard has totaled 21 targets, 17 receptions, 167 receiving yards and a touchdown. Wide receivers Michael Pittman Jr. (foot) and Roman Wilson (finger) are both currently on injured reserve, while fellow wideout Ben Skowronek (calf) is dealing with a calf injury and missed Week 6.
Bernard and Metcalf will continue to be heavily involved for Pittsburgh's offense, and Bernard is currently available in 37% of Yahoo leagues and worth picking up if possible.
