Fantasy Football

Fantasy owners have been keeping an eye on the wide receiver injuries this week. Some big names are on the injury report, and others have already been ruled out.

When fantasy owners are looking at their lineups for Week 7, they may be faced with some tough decisions. The quarterback and tight end landscape is brutal between injuries (and that doesn't even count Patrick Mahomes, at least not for this week) and bye weeks. It's often hard to find someone decent to start. Tight end Will Dissly is out for the season, which left his fantasy owners scrambling to find a replacement.

Four teams are on bye again in Week 7, and fantasy football owners may be scrambling to find players to fill the positions on their roster. The flex position is sometimes the trickiest to fill. One of the keys with the flex spot is to find a player that may be given an opportunity in the current week because of injury. For example, Devin Smith is ranked No. 104 among flex options.

For fantasy owners, picking wide receivers that are going to have a big game is a challenge. It seemed like D.J. Chark Jr. and/or Dede Westbrook would have a big game in Week 6, but the New Orleans Saints shut them both down. The pair combined for less than 100 yards. They should have a bounce-back game in Week 7 against the Bengals. Chark is ranked No. 17.
