FanDuel DFS Quarterbacks - Week 7 Picks
Lamar Jackson - QB, @ SEA ($8,400)
Jackson is fresh off of a 30.68 fantasy point performance against the Bengals. In Week 6, the Raven's signal-caller went crazy, accumulating 152 rushing yards and a touchdown on 19 attempts. He likely won't do that again, but with the Seahawks allowing some shoddy numbers to opposing quarterbacks, he could still be in store for a solid day.
Kyler Murray - QB, @ NYG ($7,700)
Murray and the Cardinals will head to New York in what should be a favorable matchup. The rookie has played well on the road this season despite failing to throw a touchdown pass, compiling 602 yards in the two games away from University of Phoenix Stadium. Though the Giants lack on the defensive end, this game should run close, meaning Murray should be involved all the way until the end.
Josh Allen - QB, vs. MIA ($7,700)
Just like Kyler Murray, Allen is another guy who could do some damage on Sunday. Facing a horrendous Dolphins Defense, the Week 7 outlook for the sophomore is good for those looking to save some cash. Look for Allen to put up at least 20 fantasy points in what could be his most efficient outing of the year.
Other FanDuel DFS Quarterbacks to Consider: Russell Wilson ($8,500), Deshaun Watson ($8,300), Matt Ryan ($7,900), Daniel Jones ($7,200)
FanDuel DFS Running Backs - Week 7 Picks
Ezekiel Elliott - RB, vs. PHI ($8,100)
For those playing on Sunday night, Elliott may end up taking on a bigger workload as a result of the quad injury to Amari Cooper, who is in danger of not playing in Week 7. With Michael Gallup dealing with a knee ailment that could also lead to him not suiting up, Elliott's stock could rise even higher.
Leonard Fournette - RB, @ CIN ($7,900)
Fournette could be the most efficient runner in Week 7 by the time everything is over with. Cincinnati has one of the worst defenses in the league and is currently allowing just over 35 fantasy points per game to rushers on the year. Make sure he is in your lineup.
Chris Carson - RB, vs. BAL ($7,600)
Carson had at least 22 attempts in each game over the last three weeks and should continue to get his touches against Baltimore. The Ravens have been decent at stopping the run in 2019 despite allowing eight rushing touchdowns, but based on volume alone, Carson should be in store for a strong outing in Week 7.
Other FanDuel DFS Running Backs to Consider: Dalvin Cook ($8,300), Aaron Jones ($7,600), David Johnson ($7,400), Josh Jacobs ($6,700), Derrick Henry ($6,500), Joe Mixon ($6,100)
FanDuel DFS Wide Receivers - Week 7 Picks
Michael Thomas - WR, @ CHI ($8,100)
Thomas continues to see his fair share of looks with Teddy Bridgewater under center. After compiling 182 yards and two touchdowns on 11 catches against the Buccaneers, the veteran cooled off a bit against the Jaguars by finishing with eight receptions for 89 yards and no scores. The Bears Defense is tough, but Thomas will still make a dent, especially if Alvin Kamara (ankle) can't go.
Cooper Kupp - WR, @ ATL ($7,800)
After racking up at least 22.2 fantasy points in three-straight games before Week 6, Kupp was put in his place by the stout 49ers Defense. To be fair, however, nobody on the offensive end could get it going for Los Angeles in that one, so we can give him a free pass and move on. Expect a bounce-back performance from the 26-year-old on Sunday against the struggling Falcons.
Other FanDuel DFS Wide Receivers to Consider: Julio Jones ($8,200), DeAndre Hopkins ($8,000), Keenan Allen ($7,500), Adam Thielen ($7,100), D.J. Chark ($6,600), Julian Edelman ($6,600), Tyler Lockett ($6,500), Larry Fitzgerald ($5,600), Calvin Ridley ($5,500)
FanDuel DFS Tight Ends - Week 7 Picks
George Kittle - TE, @ WAS ($7,100)
Though he may not play after not practicing due to a groin injury, Kittle believes he will be fine and ready to go against Washington on Sunday. For obvious reasons, he is a solid option in Week 7.
Hunter Henry - TE, @ TEN ($5,700)
After missing a good chunk of the season with a knee issue, Henry returned against Pittsburgh and finished with two touchdowns and 100 yards off of eight catches. The ceiling is high for him in Week 7, and he could be a reliable pickup in both tournament and cash lineups.
Other FanDuel DFS Tight End to Consider: Mark Andrews ($6,700), Austin Hooper ($6.600)
FanDuel DFS Defenses - Week 7 Picks
Bills Defense - DEF, vs. MIA ($5,500)
Miami can't do anything right this season and will likely get slaughtered by the Bills in Buffalo on Sunday. It will cost you, but this is the way to go in Week 7.
Other FanDuel DFS Defense to Consider: 49ers Defense ($5,000), Jaguars Defense ($4,900), Texans Defense ($3,900)
