Fantasy Football Week 7 Start/Sit Advice
Puka Nacua (WR – LAR)
“This makes me sad, but I think Puka Nacua as a top-flight fantasy WR1 is going to have to wait until Cooper Kupp is no longer paired with Matthew Stafford. Puka is a great player and will learn a lot from Kupp, but he will not give the output expected as the #25 ranked player in Half PPR (#12 WR). He is still worth playing as a low-end WR2, but more comfortably as a WR3. ”

Raheem Mostert (RB – MIA)
“Raheem Mostert is number 7 in the FantasyPros flex rankings. This week he faces an Eagles defense that has yet to allow a touchdown to the RB position. Additionally, they are allowing the second-fewest RB rushing yards per game and yards per carry. This Dolphins offense is like no other. However, Mostert will most likely need receiving work to come through for fantasy. Considering he has only one game with more than 3 receptions, it might be a regression game for the explosive veteran.”

D.J. Moore (WR – CHI)
“D.J. Moore is currently the Flex 30, and there is very little chance that Justin Fields plays. Moore came back to earth last week and went 5 for 51 on eight targets. Moore’s fantasy finishes this year WR74, WR25, WR33, WR5, WR2, and WR35. If I were to bet on any of the top 40, Moore gets my vote with the quarterback questions.”
– David Heilman (Sports Gambling Podcast Network)
“D.J. Moore could disappoint us in week seven with Tyson Bagent at quarterback. The Raiders have been so-so against fantasy receivers this year, but in the last few weeks, they have tightened up. DJ Moore finished week six with just five catches for 51 yards. Bagent is a D2 quarterback who will have a tough day on Sunday. It could be a limited offensive day for the Bears, as we saw Bagent with two turnovers in a half. I have concerns Moore won’t see the production we have loved the last few weeks. He is likely to finish outside the top 24 receivers in week seven. ”

Javonte Williams (RB – DEN)
“No, no, no. I beg you, please do not start Javonte Williams under any circumstances. Is the matchup enticing? Yes, it is. However, the Denver Broncos stink, and his usage is not consistent enough. Williams has not finished as an RB2 in any week yet this season (his highest finish is RB27 in half-PPR), and has not recorded more than 13 carries in a game yet. I am also not in the business of being involved in a situation where Jaleel McLaughlin continues to look good and get work that reflects that. I am so out on Javonte. He is an easy sit for me this week.”
