Navigating the world of fantasy football can feel like traversing a minefield, especially when deciding who to start and who to sit each week. As we barrel into Week 7, making the right lineup choices is more critical than ever. This week presents unique challenges with several key players on bye and some tough matchups to decipher.

Let’s dive into some players you should consider starting and some you might want to keep on your bench.

Quarterbacks: Start ‘Em

  • Start: Patrick Mahomes (vs. Chargers)

    Do I really need to explain this one? Mahomes is matchup-proof. Even against a decent Chargers defense, expect fireworks.

  • Start: Geno Smith (vs. Cardinals)

    Geno has been surprisingly consistent this year. Facing a leaky Cardinals defense, this could be a week where he puts up big numbers. Fire him up with confidence.

Quarterbacks: Sit ‘Em

  • Sit: Matthew Stafford (vs. Steelers)

    The Steelers' defense is no joke, and Stafford has been struggling with consistency. This isn't the week to trust him in your lineup.

  • Sit: Jordan Love (vs. Broncos)

    Love's performance has been erratic, and the Broncos' defense, while not elite, can still cause problems. Keep him on the bench if you have other options.

Running Backs: Start ‘Em

  • Start: Bijan Robinson (vs. Buccaneers)

    Despite some inconsistent usage, Robinson's talent is undeniable. The Buccaneers are vulnerable on the ground, making Bijan a solid start.

  • Start: D'Andre Swift (vs. Dolphins)

    Swift has taken over the Eagles' backfield. Against the Dolphins, who struggle against the run, Swift should have a productive day.

Running Backs: Sit ‘Em

  • Sit: Miles Sanders (vs. Rams)

    Sanders has been a disappointment this season. Facing the Rams’ defensive front, it’s hard to see him having a breakout game. Sit him.

  • Sit: AJ Dillon (vs. Broncos)

    Dillon has failed to capitalize on opportunities. The Broncos present a tough matchup, making Dillon a risky play.

Wide Receivers: Start ‘Em

  • Start: Cooper Kupp (vs. Steelers)

    Kupp is back and immediately becomes a must-start in all formats. His connection with Stafford, when healthy, is elite.

  • Start: DK Metcalf (vs. Cardinals)

    Metcalf is a target monster in Seattle. Against the Cardinals, he should see plenty of opportunities to make big plays.

Wide Receivers: Sit ‘Em

  • Sit: Michael Thomas (vs. Lions)

    Thomas is TD-dependent, and the Lions have been surprisingly good against opposing WRs. Keep him on the bench.

  • Sit: Romeo Doubs (vs. Broncos)

    Doubs is boom-or-bust. Against a Broncos team that will likely focus on shutting down the Packers' passing game, Doubs is a risky play.

Tight Ends: Start ‘Em

  • Start: Travis Kelce (vs. Chargers)

    He's Travis Kelce. You start him every week.

  • Start: Evan Engram (vs. Saints)

    Engram has been a consistent target in the Jaguars' offense. Against the Saints, look for him to continue his steady production.

Tight Ends: Sit ‘Em

  • Sit: Tyler Higbee (vs. Steelers)

    Higbee’s production has been underwhelming. Against a tough Steelers defense, temper expectations.

  • Sit: Luke Musgrave (vs. Broncos)

    Musgrave is still developing chemistry with Love. The Broncos present a challenging matchup, making him a risky start.

Making the right start 'em, sit 'em decisions can be the difference between a win and a loss in fantasy football. Good luck in Week 7!
