Week 7 is here, and it looks like some lower point totals than in prior weeks, even though over half the games were played in a dome. We get one more week of Emanuel Wilson, and we could see Josh Jacobs' season debut. With a thin receiver room in San Francisco, look to Brandin Cooks and Christian Kirk to lead the group. Needless to say, Week 7 offers plenty of fantasy intrigue. And check out the rest of my weekly rankings here.

QUARTERBACKS
START
C.J. Stroud (HOU) v. NYG
The Stat: Ranks 4th in End-Zone Attempts per Game — touchdown opportunities.
The Spot: At home (dome) as the most-favored team in Week 7 with one of the highest implied point totals.
The Risk: Heavy favorites mean the game script could shift to the ground, capping Stroud’s upside.
FADE
Matthew Stafford (LAR) @ LV
The Stat: Season-worst Pressure-to-Sack Rate (33.3% - 25th) in Week 6 against the Raiders’ defense, which has the 8th-best Pressure Percentage.
The Spot: Injuries to Terrance Ferguson, Davante Adams, and Puka Nacua could shift the offense's focus to the ground game.
The Risk: This wouldn’t be the first time Matthew Stafford and Sean McVay’s offense overcame these types of hurdles.
