What wide receivers and tight ends are your best bets to regress upward and as DFS values in Week 7?
- Keenan Allen
- Any Rams WR/TE
- Tyler Boyd
- Corey Davis
- D.J. Chark
- Darren Waller
- Eric Ebron
PHIL ALEXANDER
- Keenan Allen - Allen has a five-inch height advantage on every Tennessee cornerback. Now that he's busted in three-straight games and come down in price a bit, it's a good time to pounce in GPPs.
- Any Rams WR/TE - Yes, the Rams looked inept in last week's loss to San Francisco but Atlanta isn't capable of generating the same pressure as the 49ers elite defensive line. You don't want to fade Jared Goff or his pass-catchers in what profiles as the highest-scoring game on the slate.
JASON WOOD
Tyler Boyd is my No. 1 receiver on both FanDuel and Draftkings this week. There's no game script where Boyd isn't highly targeted in this matchup, whether Cincinnati is losing (as expected) or winning.
Keenan Allen will also be fine. If anyone is worried about him, hopefully, it keeps his ownership down and you can capitalize.
JUSTIN BONNEMA
I agree with Jason: Boyd should come swinging back this week. He has only two games where he didn’t see double-digit targets. He’ll now face a vulnerable Jaguars’ secondary that just lost it’s all star cornerback via trade (not that Jalen Ramsey was going to follow Boyd into the slot, but his departure certainly hurts the Jaguars’ defense). I won’t go overboard on him in cash games or even tournaments, but he should have a decent, if not solid, game in Week 7.
JAMES BRIMACOMBE
Any Rams WR/TE – I will be fading the Rams running backs this week and loading up on Goff and his wide receivers Kupp, Woods, and Cooks. I will play them in tournaments mix and matching Goff with two of his receivers and playing Ridley or Jones on the Falcons side going for the game stack.
DAN HINDERY
This is a nice bounce-back spot for Tyler Boyd and I love his DraftKings price of just $5,600. We are dealing with small sample sizes but his home/road splits have been pretty extreme this season. He’s averaging just 9.3 KD PPG on the road but is putting up 28.3 PPG at home. An A.J. Green return would boost Boyd’s stock and open up more single coverage but even if Green doesn’t return, Boyd should be fine just based upon volume alone against Jacksonville.
This is also a really nice spot for the Rams wide receivers to bounce back. The Falcons rank dead last in sack rate (2.5%) and Jared Goff’s biggest problem has been lack of time to throw. The extra time in the pocket bodes well for Brandin Cooks, especially. His routes often take longer to develop and the poor pass protection is a reason why he has seen fewer targets this season. I wouldn’t be surprised if Cooks is this week’s Stefon Diggs.
