Fantasy Football Rest of Season Rankings: Week 7

Forecasting where all of the notable players net out over the remainder of the season.

These fantasy football rankings track a player’s value for the remainder of the season and are intended to be used as a tool, not necessarily a definitive guide to player valuation.

The scoring system is performance PPR. There is no exact science behind season-long rankings, considering all of the variables and situational uncertainties at work.

Rankings key:
UP/DN is trending up or down from week’s ranking.
NR means the player wasn’t ranked last week.
UP/DN numbering shows where the player was ranked the prior week.

Quarterbacks
Rk Never leaves lineup Bye Up/Down Notes
1 Lamar Jackson, BAL 14
2 Josh Allen, BUF 12

4 Jayden Daniels, WAS 14 the rookie moves into Tier 1
Rk Lineup regulars Bye Up/Down Notes
5 Patrick Mahomes, KC 6 clearly not performing as QB5; given his history, I want to see how KC looks after the bye

8 Kyler Murray, ARI 11
9 C.J. Stroud, HOU 14 DN8

12 Brock Purdy, SF 9
13 Jared Goff, DET 5
14 Caleb Williams, CHI 7 UP18 has looked much better the past 2 games, albeit vs CAR & JAC
15 Anthony Richardson, IND 14 DN12 missed 2 gms w/ an oblique injury; he’s expected to return in Wk 7
16 Justin Fields, PIT 9 UP20 his running ability gives him QB1 upside every week, but it’s always a risk
17 Kirk Cousins, ATL 12
18 Sam Darnold, MIN 6
19 Daniel Jones, NYG 11 UP22 back-to-back games with 11 rushing attempts
20 Aaron Rodgers, NYJ 12 we’ll see if the Adams acquisition moves the needle for the Jets offense

25 Justin Herbert, LAC 5 UP28 a bit more of the passing game in Wk 6
26 Trevor Lawrence, JAC 12

31 Will Levis, TEN 5
32 Aidan O’Connell, LVR 10 NR named the starter over Minshew
33 Tyler Huntley, MIA 6 UP34 if Tagovailoa is ready, Wk 7 could be Huntley’s final start; if not…

35 Joe Flacco, IND 14
36 Jameis Winston, CLE 10 NR
