Welcome to Week 7, or as I like to call it, the wide receiver pre-pre trade deadline. Davante Adams became Jet and Amari Cooper became Bill. Of course, Aaron Rodgers had nothing to do with it. He’s never even heard of Robert Saleh or Davante Adams!
But before we get into Week 7, let's take a quick look at who the top receivers are. of buccaneersBaker Mayfield's team continues to throw the ball a lot, with Chris Godwin breaking out this week to lead the league in fantasy points among wide receivers and catching 11 passes for 125 yards and two touchdowns. Recorded. This big game came after he was down three times, so I was happy to see him get back on his feet. The slot role has been good for him, as has the pass-first offense.
Garrett Wilson and Allen Lazard were among the top four in PPR receiver play last week, showing that Aaron Rodgers can facilitate fantasy points for multiple receivers. Enter Davante Adams. Should Rodgers take his target off Lazard? It may seem that way, but we'll see.

Week 7 Wide Receiver Injuries/Trades
Marvin Harrison Jr., Cardinals
Harrison suffered a brain injury in Week 6 and must clear concussion protocol before Monday night's matchup. charger. An extra day would help, but there's no guarantee they'll be arrested in time. Trey McBride will be the go-to receiver and Michael Wilson will take the hit.
Chris Olove, Saints
Olave suffered a brain injury in Week 6 and it seems unlikely he will recover in time for the Saints' game against the Broncos Thursday night.
Rashid Shahid, Saint
Shahid suffered a knee injury in Week 6 and will need to recover in Week 7. It's hard to know the extent of the injury at this point, but he was DNP in the first two practices. If Olave and Shahid are unavailable, the Saints will use wide receivers Bab Means, Cedric Wilson, Mason Tipton, and tight ends Juwan Johnson and Foster Morrow as the primary pass catchers other than Alvin Kamara. Become.
Amari Cooper, Bills
Cooper was traded to the Bills this week. He received a huge upgrade from Deshaun Watson to Josh Allen, but it's unclear how quickly he'll fit in with the offense. His presence contributes to the overall offense.
Regarding, brownsDavid Njoku and Jerry Jeudy come in and are the players most likely to see reinforcements if the Browns can prevent them from quitting completely.
Malik Navas (Giants)
Nabors has missed two games with a brain injury, so it is not yet possible to know the progress of his recovery. If he can get on the practice field early in the week, he should be on track to return.
Davante Adams (Jets)
Adams should be better off with Aaron Rodgers throwing to him, while Garrett Wilson will likely see fewer targets but should also be more efficient. I'm not too worried about either, but you have to expect Allen Lazard and Tyler Conklin to have an even harder time putting up consistent fantasy numbers.
As for the Raiders, Brock Bowers will be the No. 1 target and should maintain strong tight end play while Tre Tucker and Jakobi Meyers will fight for fantasy relevance behind Bowers. .
Cooper Kupp, Rams
Kupp appears to be close to returning from IR. According to Ian Rapoport. Nothing has been decided yet, but if all goes well he could be back this week, with Puka Nakua still a few weeks away. As soon as he returns to the starting lineup, he returns to must-start status.
Mike Williams (Jets)
Williams is on the trade block after the team acquired Davante Adams from the Raiders and Aaron Rodgers threw him under the bus.
Michael Pittman (Colts)
Pittman has been dealing with a back injury, but managed to play last week. But he told reporters this is something they will have to deal with and that he could be removed from his job at some point.
Dontavion Wicks, Packers
Wicks injured his shoulder in Week 6 and has been limited to “weekly.” According to Jordan Schultz. That means he should miss this week's away games. texans. His absence will help Christian Watson the most.
Week 7 Wide Receiver Sleeper
Demario Douglas, Patriots vs. Jaguars
Douglas appears to be head coach Drake Maye's favorite target, with Douglas leading the team with nine goals against the Texans last week, followed by tight end Hunter Henry with five. He also led the team in receptions and targets, with six catches for 92 yards and one touchdown. The Jaguars' defense has been a cheat code and favorite for fantasy players this season, which should again mean a lot of passes from the Patriots.
Jordan Addison, Vikings vs. Lions
The Lions' defense will be without Adrian Hutchinson, which should make things a lot easier for Sam Darnold. Addison's return from injury was going well, and he ran for a touchdown and caught another in a game against Addison in Week 4. packers. Last week's defense against the Jets didn't go well, but I like this matchup against the Lions as it should be a high-scoring one. The Lions currently rank 30th in fantasy points allowed to wide receivers.
