Week 7 Fantasy Rankings: Wide Receivers
Injuries have had a big impact on the upper rungs of the NFL’s Week 7 fantasy rankings for wide receivers. Top-level stars Calvin Johnson and A.J. Green are both slated to miss their second straight games, leaving openings for stars to rise to truly elite status.
Frontrunners to replace Johnson and Green would be Pittsburgh Steeler Antonio Brown and Green Bay Packer Jordy Nelson, who occupy the top two wide receiver spots in fantasy. And although the Cowboys have been running the ball way more than usual, Dez Bryant is still one of the most reliable receivers in the league.
It could be argued that Atlanta’s Julio Jones should be assuming the role of top receiver, but the Falcons’ continued issues with pass protection make him a more unreliable option until quarterback Matt Ryan can find a way to stay upright. The Falcons will go into Baltimore to play the Ravens in Week 7, and Ryan has notoriously done terrible in outside away games. He isn’t doing all that great at home anymore, either.
