Fantasy Football Week 7: Start or Sit Aaron Rodgers, Jaylen Warren, Tee Higgins & More

Jaylen Warren: A Top Fantasy Play

• 🚀 Jaylen Warren is highlighted as the "start of the week" for Week 7 due to a favorable matchup against the Bengals' run defense.
• 💡 Warren is expected to receive targets despite splitting third downs with Kenneth Gainwell, offering significant upside.
• 🎯 He is recommended over players like Jordan Mason, Videl Montgomery, and Kenneth Walker in full PPR formats.
• ⚠️ While Gainwell is considered a flex option, Warren is ranked higher due to matchup advantages.

Aaron Rodgers: A Low-End Starter

• 🎯 Aaron Rodgers is ranked as a low-end QB1 for Week 7, projected for 22-23 fantasy points against the Bengals.
• 📈 Despite a poor offense, Rodgers is playing well enough to warrant starting over players like Sam Darnold, who faces a tough Texans defense.
• 🏈 The potential for a competitive game script offers upside for Rodgers, who may need to throw more than 25 passes.

DK Metcalf: Sell High Opportunity

• 📈 DK Metcalf is a must-start wide receiver for Week 7, with potential for another high-scoring game against Cincinnati.
• 🌟 He has achieved two consecutive top-10 PPR finishes and is ranked as WR11 for the week.
• 📉 For the rest of the season, Metcalf is projected as a low-end WR2, suggesting a potential sell-high opportunity after a strong performance.

Tee Higgins: A Risky Play

• ⚠️ Tee Higgins is a difficult player to rank due to his performance when Joe Burrow is not playing and Jamar Chase is active.
• 📊 Higgins has struggled to exceed 11.2 PPR points in games where both Burrow and Chase are playing.
• 🏈 While he showed some encouragement last week, he is best viewed as a low-end WR3 or a player to start only if necessary.

Other Notable Players and Advice

• 🏈 Kenneth Gainwell is a viable flex option, ranked above Chase Brown by some analysts.
• 🧱 Darnell Washington is seeing increased route participation and could be a viable tight end option for 5-7 PPR points against the Bengals' 4-3 defense.
• 🛡️ The Steelers defense is a strong consideration, ranking among the top three with 17 sacks in their last three games.
• 🏃 Rico Dowdle is strongly preferred over Chase Brown for both the current week and rest of season rankings.
