Jared Goff vs TB
Jared Goff has quietly been one of the most efficient fantasy passers this season, and Week 7 lines up perfectly for him at home against a Tampa Bay defense that has struggled to contain the pass.

Zach Ertz @ DAL
Zach Ertz continues to be a reliable safety blanket for his young quarterback, and his target volume makes him an underrated play in Week 7. Dallas has given up big games to tight ends this season, making Ertz a solid TE1 streamer with touchdown upside.

33. Jameson Williams vs TB
34. Tee Higgins vs PIT
35. Rashid Shaheed @ CHI
36. Cooper Kupp vs HOU
Must Start: Wide Receiver
Jaylen Waddle @ CLE
Jaylen Waddle has been a reliable wide receiver ever since Tyreek Hill left with an injury. Since Waddle is facing a tougher matchup people may be on the fence whether to start him or not. I am here to tell you Waddleis a must start with no Hill in the lineup and should have plenty of targets.

Must Start: Running Back
Jaylen Warren @ CIN
Jaylen Warren has carved out a key role in the Steelers offense thanks to his versatility and receiving skills. Against a Bengals defense that struggles with pass catching backs and running backs in general, Warrenshould rack up solid all purpose yardage and a strong RB2 finish in Week 7.
Conclusion
As we move deeper into the fantasy season, finding weekly advantages is all about matchups and consistency. Jared Goff is an ideal QB streamer in a favorable home game, Jaylen Waddle’s explosive ability can break any slate, Jaylen Warren’s dual threat role gives him RB2 value, and Zach Ertz remains a sneaky tight end play with volume on his side. These four players stand out as Week 7 must starts who can swing fantasy matchups in your favor.
