Here are my Week 7 fantasy football notes. There are only two bye weeks on the board, so this week should be a mostly full roster slate for most fantasy managers.

 

Denver at New Orleans

There isn’t much in the way of start candidates here outside of Alvin Kamara, but Bo Nix is a solid stream start or Superflex. He’s scored 19+ points in three of the past four weeks and is facing a Saints team that just gave up 51 points last week.

 

New England vs Jacksonville (game in London)

Drake Maye’s on-field performance last week left a lot to be desired, but he did score 19.52 points on the strength of three touchdown passes. The Jaguars cornerbacks have terrible coverage metrics over the past four weeks. Merge those factors and Maye is a good longshot start in 2QB or Superflex leagues.

 

Seattle at Atlanta

This is a great rush defense matchup for Bijan Robinson, and that should lead to a lot of rushes and not much passing. This means Kirk Cousins needs to be downgraded as a start prospect. For further proof, if you take out that one big game he had in Week 5, Cousins has not scored 13 points since Week 2.

 

Tennessee at Buffalo

The Titans defense has been superb of late, as they have strong advanced metrics versus both the rush and pass over the past month. Keep that in mind if you are considering starting Amari Cooper, as he is adjusting to a new quarterback and offensive system. Combine that with the matchup and he’s best suited as a sit candidate in most leagues.
