Week 7 Start/Sit: Wide Receivers
Week 7 Start/Sit: Wide Receivers
Week 7 is here, and the fantasy landscape is starting to stabilize — or completely unravel, depending on your roster. With injuries piling up and bye weeks creating chaos, finding the right start/sit edge can make all the difference.

STARTS
Chris Olave continues to deliver steady numbers, recording at least 12 PPR points in four of six outings and averaging double-digit targets across his last two. The Bears have struggled against receivers, allowing five to clear 13 points this season. Olave remains a dependable WR2, especially in PPR formats.
Courtland Sutton has been feast or famine, but the setup leans toward another “feast” week. The Giants have given up the third-most fantasy points to wideouts, including major damage to perimeter receivers — exactly where Sutton lines up most. His big-play ability makes him a worthwhile start.
SITS
Jakobi Meyers’ snap and route rates remain elite, but Geno Smith’s inconsistency has tanked his production. Meyers hasn’t topped 40 yards since Week 3 and faces a Chiefs defense giving up just 192 passing yards per game. He’s better left out of lineups this week.
DeVonta Smith has been volatile, alternating between big plays and quiet outings. The Vikings have been stingy against outside receivers, allowing the fewest deep completions and only one top-15 WR performance all year. Smith’s boom-or-bust profile makes him a risky start.
