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:

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.

Quinshon Judkins, Cleveland Browns

Cleveland Browns head coach Todd Monken said he is optimistic that running back Quinshon Judkins (ankle) will be able to play on Sunday against the Tennessee Titans in Week 7, according to Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN. Judkins did not play in the Week 6 upset win over the division-rival Baltimore Ravens due to an ankle injury, but he appears to be making progress and could return this weekend to face the one-win Titans. Fantasy managers will want to keep a close eye on the 22-year-old's practice status from Wednesday through Friday.

Without Judkins against Baltimore, Jaleel McLaughlin was the team's lead back, although backup Audric Estime is the one who found the end zone on the ground. Judkins should return to RB2 territory in fantasy if he returns against Tennessee, although the impending return of Dylan Sampson (knee) from Injured Reserve is not great news for Judkins' overall upside. The second-year back from Ohio State is Cleveland's clear lead back, but he has not been efficient in his first five games, averaging 3.0 yards per carry on 73 rushing attempts for 221 yards.

Caleb Douglas, Miami Dolphins

Miami Dolphins rookie wide receiver Caleb Douglas (ankle) was listed as a limited participant in the first practice of the week on Wednesday as the Dolphins come out of their bye week, according to C. Isaiah Smalls II of The Miami Herald. Douglas has not played since injuring his ankle in the Week 2 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. The 23-year-old third-rounder from Texas Tech's ankle injury is not very serious, but the Dolphins have been careful not to bring the pass-catcher back too soon.

After a three-game absence and the bye week to heal up, Douglas could be on the verge of making his return on game day this Sunday against the division-rival New York Jets as Miami searches for its first win of the season. He immediately surfaced as a waiver-wire target in deeper leagues after catching five of seven targets for 94 yards in the Week 1 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders.

Douglas is going to have plenty of opportunities to make noise in his rookie campaign when he is finally over his ankle injury in one of the weakest WR rooms in the league. In deeper formats, fantasy managers may want to consider picking Douglas up. He is currently rostered in just under 10% of Yahoo leagues.

Denzel Boston, Cleveland Browns

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Denzel Boston caught just one of his five targets for 15 receiving yards during Sunday's Week 6 win over the Baltimore Ravens. While Cleveland pulled off the upset victory at home, Boston was disappointing as he turned in the worst fantasy performance of his young career. This was the 22-year-old's first game with fewer than 8.0 PPR points, as well as just his second game with fewer than 12.5 PPR points.

Prior to this week, Boston's name was gaining traction in Offensive Rookie of the Year conversations. Sunday's "bust" performance won't eliminate him from consideration for the award, but it definitely represents a stain on his season stat line. He'll look to bounce back in a much more favorable matchup against the Tennessee Titans in Week 7.
