The potential return of Dak Prescott for the Cowboys has fortuitous timing considering who Dallas will match up against in Week 7. The Cowboys will take on the Detroit Lions, who have the league’s worst defense, ranking last in points allowed and yards allowed. Despite his layoff, Prescott is looking highly appealing for Week 7 Fantasy football lineups, especially since Detroit has allowed the second-most Fantasy points to opposing QBs. There are numerous other players around the league with exploitable Fantasy football matchups that should factor into your Week 7 Fantasy football rankings. Before setting your Fantasy football lineups, be sure to check out the Week 7 Fantasy football rankings from the advanced computer model at SportsLine.<\/p>\n

When it comes to ranking players, SportsLine’s model beat human experts in Fantasy football for the past several seasons especially when there were big differences in ranking. Over the course of a season, that could literally be the difference between winning your league or going home empty-handed.<\/p>\n

Last week, the model was extremely high on Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson, saying he’d finish as a top-10 player at his position. The result: Stevenson recorded 19 carries for 76 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday’s win over the Browns. He also brought in four of five targets for 15 yards. Anybody who had him in their lineup was well on their way to a huge week.<\/p>\n

Now, the model, which simulates every NFL game 10,000 times, has revealed its Fantasy football rankings for Week 7 of the 2022 NFL season. Head to SportsLine now to see them.<\/p>\n

Top Week 7 Fantasy football picks <\/h3>\n

One player the model is high on this week: Texans running back Dameon Pierce. The rookie has exploded onto the scene and averaged over 115 scrimmage yards per game with three total touchdowns since Week 3. He ranks fourth at his position in Fantasy points per game over this stretch, trailing only Derrick Henry, Josh Jacobs and Austin Ekeler.<\/p>\n

He has a chance to rank even higher after Week 7 as the Texans take on the Raiders, who rank 22nd in yards allowed and 28th in points allowed. Vegas has already faced Henry and Ekeler this year, and they averaged 107.5 scrimmage yards with one TD against the Raiders. In their last game, the Raiders gave up over 100 scrimmage yards to the Clyde Edwards-Helaire and Jerick McKinnon in Kansas City. Pierce doesn’t have to split touches, and the model pegs him as a top-15 running back this week, making him an RB2 in all formats. See who else to target here.<\/p>\n

And a massive shocker: Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin, who’s recorded at least 75 receiving yards in three of his last five games, stumbles big-time and doesn’t even crack the top 20 at his position. McLaurin’s stat line against the Bears may be a bit deceiving at first glance. He finished with just three receptions for 41 yards in the Commanders’ 12-7 win over the Bears, but McLaurin was responsible for nearly half of Carson Wentz’s 99 passing yards. <\/p>\n

However, Wentz suffered a fractured finger in the win and he’s expected to miss four to six weeks, which doesn’t bode well for McLaurin’s Fantasy. Plus, McLaurin and the Commanders will face Green Bay’s top-ranked passing defense this week, which is giving up just 164.0 passing yards per game this season. With such a tough matchup on Sunday, McLaurin is a player to consider putting on the bench in Week 7. See who else to fade here.<\/p>\n

How to set Week 7 Fantasy football rankings<\/h3>\n

The model is also calling for a surprising quarterback you aren’t even thinking about to finish in the top 10 of its Week 7 Fantasy football rankings. This pick could be the difference between winning big and going home with nothing. You can only see who it is here.<\/p>\n

So who should you start and sit this week? And which surprising quarterback could lead you to victory? Visit SportsLine now to get Week 7 Fantasy football rankings for every position, plus see which QB is going to come out of nowhere to crack the top 10, all from the model that has outperformed experts big-time.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
