Week 7 Fantasy Football Stock Report: Risers and Fallers

Week 6 was a bad week in terms of injuries, especially at wide receiver. Among those who went down were Puka Nacua (ankle), Garrett Wilson (knee) and Marvin Harrison Jr. (concussion). In addition to players seeing increased fantasy value due to injuries, others may see their stock drop due to a declining role or disappointing performance. Here are the top fantasy football risers and fallers in Week 7 to consider in your waiver claims, draft decisions, and long-term roster strategy.

Week 7 Fantasy Football Risers

Davante Adams, WR, Los Angeles Rams

Nacua is considered an everyday prospect, but it would make sense for the Rams to retain him for at least one game. They play the Jaguars in London in Week 7, then have a bye in Week 8. If Nacua sits out this week, Adams would be in line to be the Rams’ top wide receiver. Even as their second-best option, he has racked up 26 receptions for 396 yards and three touchdowns this season.

D’Andre Swift, RB, Chicago Bears

Swift had his best game of the season in Week 6, rushing 14 times for 108 yards against the Commanders. He also had two receptions for 67 yards and a touchdown. It could be the start of a long hot streak for Swift, as four of his next five opponents have allowed at least 4.4 yards per carry.

Josh Reynolds, WR, New York Jets

Wilson leads the Jets with 56 goals this season. Not only will he likely be out in Week 7, but early reports indicate he is expected to miss a number of games. More targets could be coming for Reynolds, who will face the Panthers and Bengals in the next two weeks. The Panthers have allowed 24.3 points per game while the Bengals have given up 30.5 points per game. Reynolds could work his desire into the WR3 discussion in deeper fantasy formats.

Week 7 Fantasy Football Fallers

Jauan Jennings, WR, San Francisco 49ers

Jennings caught just one pass for seven yards against the Buccaneers in Week 6. After the game, he said he was playing with five broken ribs, as well as high and low ankle sprains. Until he gets healthy, it’s hard to have much confidence in him moving forward in fantasy.

Tyrone Tracy Jr., RB, New York Giants

When Tracy returned from a two-game absence due to a shoulder injury, he posted just six rushing yards on four carries against the Eagles. His fellow backfieldmate Cam Skattebo ran 19 times for 98 yards and three touchdowns. Skattebo has surpassed Tracy on the Giants’ depth chart, so Tracy shouldn’t be started in fantasy leagues at this point.

Keon Coleman, WR, Buffalo Bills

Coleman didn’t make much of an impression against the Falcons on Monday Night Football, catching three of six targets from 11 yards. After posting eight catches for 112 yards and a touchdown in Week 1, Coleman has 16 receptions for 125 yards and one touchdown in his last five games. The Bills have a bye in Week 7, but even if they return in Week 8, Coleman should only be viewed as an inconsistent WR3 in fantasy.

Takeaway meals

Injuries could cause Adams and Reynolds to see their fantasy value increase, while a favorable schedule could give Swift a boost. Jennings, Tracy and Coleman have seen their fantasy values ​​drop to the point where they should be left out of most leagues. Staying ahead of these trends is the key to winning matchups.
