The best medicine for a fantasy football win each week could be simple: Setting the right lineup. Nothing worse than having a guy on the bench going off or someone in your starting lineup that’s laid a dud.
With that, here are five sleepers to start and five starters to sit in fantasy football Week 7:
Sleepers to start
QB Joe Burrow, Bengals
vs. Browns
Joe Burrow’s off to a decent start, and he’s racking up 300-yard games. Of those, his best of the year came in Week 2, also against the Browns, when he had 316 yards and three touchdowns.
RB Antonio Gibson, Washington
vs. Cowboys
Despite his last two outings being averages of 3.3 and 2.5 yards per carry, Antonio Gibson and Washington have a good matchup this week: The Cowboys. They’re the second-worst run defense in the NFL, allowing 173.3 yards per game on the ground.
RB La’Mical Perine, Jets
vs. Bills
Without Le’Veon Bell, La’Mical Perine had a season-high nine touches last week and that could stand to rise in Week 7 against the Bills. The Jets will probably be trailing, but the Bills did just allow 245 rushing yards last week against the Chiefs. Granted, KC is much better, but 245 is awful.
WR Brandin Cooks, Texans
vs. Packers
The Packers are going to want to get right on offense and put up some points in this one following a dud in Week 6. That could mean a lot of throwing on both sides. Brandin Cooks has come all the way back from his slow start.
WR Christian Kirk, Cardinals
at Seahawks
Similar to Cooks, Christian Kirk got off to a slow start and has heated up. That hit a fever pitch last week with two touchdowns. Now this week, even with other weapons around him on the Cardinals, Kirk will probably have another solid game because the Seahawks have allowed the most points to opposing WRs in fantasy this year.
