This week is an example of whyNFL DFSis fun and difficult at the same time.Six teams are on bye, including a few of the leagues top offenses, and six more are in prime-time spots. Still, even with the diminished pool of potential picks, we still like some of the value available in this weeks main slate. This is certainly a challenge, but we can take advantage of sneaky upside with limited options as our Week 7 FanDuel tournament lineup shows. As always, we're looking for players who aren't going to be chalk plays since these are daily fantasy football tournaments, not cash games.Before we get into this week's picks, here are the basic Colby Gossett Jersey rules for FanDuel contests. Scoring is pretty standard, with the only notable settings beingfour-point pa sing TDsandhalf-point PPR.WEEK 7 DFS LINEUPS: | FanDuel Picks Week 7: NFL DFS lineup for GPP tournamentsSunday main slate, $60,000 budget, no more than four players from one team QB Jalen Hurts, Eagles @ Raiders ($8,300).You might not always want to watch how the sausage is made, but Hurts will often finish with a better final line than the film suggests. One of the things working in Hurts favor -- at least for our purposes -- is the Eagles' aversion to running the ball with their running backs. Not only have KhaDarel Hodge Jersey the Eagles attempted 209 pa ses compared to 132 rushes, but Hurts also has 53 of those rushing attempts (40.2 percent) to his name. Hes accounted for 13 touchdowns (five on the ground), and hell have the ball in his hands a ton once again this week.RB Darrell Henderson Jr., Rams vs. Lions ($8,000).Its po sible that this matchup istoogood for Henderson and the Rams. However, even if they jump out to an insurmountable lead, its likelyHenderson does a lot of the heavy lifting to that point. The Rams opened as ma sive favorites, laying more than 15 points at some shops. Henderson is coming off a season-high in touches (23) and found paydirt running and receiving, bringing his season total to five.MORE WEEK 7 DFS:| |RB Josh Jacobs, Raiders vs. Eagles ($6.900).The Raiders have faced two consecutive strong run defenses in theBears and Broncos, but the Eagles are friendlier in that department, on paper at least. It was disappointing to see Jacobs only receive one target after earning five in two straight weeks, but were still very intrigued by what the Raiders coaching staff shakeup means for some of the pieces on this offense. It would not be a surprise to see Jacobs rip off a few profitable performances in the coming weeks, especially if his usage in the pa sing game from Weeks 4-5 is more trend than a mirage.WR Brandin Cooks, Texans @ Cardinals ($6,500).After being locked up by the Bills and Patriots in consecutive weeks, Cooks resumed Frank Darby Jersey his role as WR1 in the pa sing game. He earned 13 targets from rookie quarterback Davis Mills, one fewer than his season-high of 14 set in Week 2. Even though he "only"finished with nine grabs for 89 yards, bigger performances will be coming through the pipeline as long as hes seeing 10-plus targets.WEEK 7 FANTASY: | | WR Jaylen Waddle, Dolphins vs. Falcons ($5,900).Waddles two scores in London will be the first thing that catches most peoples gaze, but were just as excited about him seeing 13 targets for the second time this season. His 8.1 yards per catch is putrid if were being frank, but we know that Waddle entered the league with explosive, big-play-making traits. Were happy to bet on the volume hes likely to receive and wait on the efficiency to Josh Harris Jersey follow suit.WR DeVonta Smith, Eagles @ Raiders ($5,800).Smith had one of his quietest games of the season, ending Week 6 with a 2-31 line on four targets. Volume hasnt been too difficult to come by for the rookie -- hes seen at least eight targets on three occasions -- and he figures to be a focal point in Sin City. Smith leads the Eagles with 44 targets, and Zach Ertzs trade to the Cardinals frees up 31 additional looks that will be divided among the remaining pa s-catching options.WEEK 7 STANDARD RANKINGS: | | | | | TE Mark Andrews, Ravens vs. Bengals ($7,500).Andrews has caught at least five pa ses in his last five games, establishing a solid floor. Hes also reminded us of his ceiling -- hes only one game removed from an 11-147-2 line on 13 targets. Baltimore ran away with last weeks win over the Chargers, but if the Bengals can keep things more competitive this week, the Ravens may need to rely on their pa sing game to a larger degree. Andrews has also scored three times in the past two weeks after James Vaughters Jersey going scorele s over the seasons first four games.FLEX Darrel Williams, Chiefs @ Titans ($6,700).Williams filled in admirably for sidelined starter Clyde Edwards-Helaire (knee). He handled 24 touches, and even though his 89 total yards was a little "meh," he added two touchdowns to bolster his final FanDuel line (22.4 points). As long as the Chiefs are going to load up Williams plate with a hefty workload, were going to be interested in adding him to our lineups.WEEK 7 PPR RANKINGS: | | | | | D/ST Ravens vs. Bengals ($4,300).The Bengals might actually deserve a little more respect. They have some players performing at a high level, and theyre ranked No. 16 in offensive DVOA. While they may not be everyones doormat this season, we still like the Ravens at this price. They have been rounding into form as a team and have premium playmakers throughout the defense. Not to mention, theyre likely to continue improving with Don "Wink" Martindale coordinating that side of the ball.
