Fantasy managers have had a hard time with their wide receivers slowly collapsing heading into Week 7. With bye weeks and injuries piling up, there’s no question the top begins to look a lot heavier among fantasy wide receiver rankings. Nonetheless, perhaps now is the time to look within. What can be done in order to enhance one’s team to make it to the playoffs? To provide some hope for trade targets, or help out with questionable starts, here is the look at fantasy wide receiver rankings heading into Week 7.

Fantasy Football Week 7 Wide Receiver Rankings: Rewards Have Come For Those Who Waited
Tier 1: Can’t Go Wrong With The Lineup Locks
1. Tyreek Hill
2. Cooper Kupp
3. Stefon Diggs
4. Keenan Allen
5. A.J. Brown
6. Amon-Ra St. Brown
7. Davante Adams
8. Puka Nacua
A new king of fantasy has risen. Tyreek Hill is well on his way to keeping his promise of racking up over 2,000 yards over the season, and it’s not even Week 7 yet. The No. 1 fantasy player should find his way once again in a tough matchup with the Philadelphia Eagles.
No one was certain how long Cooper Kupp would remain out. Thankfully for all fans of the NFL, Kupp is back and playing like he never left. The former Triple Crown king and No. 1 on many wide receiver rankings remains Matthew Stafford‘s favorite target in an offense that will rely heavily on the passing attack. The only question mark surrounding Keenan Allen is whether he can remain healthy. As of now, Allen shows no signs of slowing down spearheaded by Justin Herbert at the helm.

Tier 2: Solid WR1
9. Jaylen Waddle
10. Mike Evans
11. DeVonta Smith
12. Brandon Aiyuk
13. Marquise Brown
14. DK Metcalf
15. Chris Olave
It’s clear the overpowering offense of the Miami Dolphins can support two top-tier wide receivers. It has in the past and with Jaylen Waddle slowly finding his footing, the top fantasy wide receiver tandem will be back like never before.
The surprising offense of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers came back down to earth after a hot 3-0 start. That was in large part due to Mike Evans who will look to find his footing once more.
If Deebo Samuel is sidelined in Week 7, Brandon Aiyuk can take the lion’s share at wide receiver despite all the weapons on the San Francisco 49ers offense. With how overpowered the offense still remains, Aiyuk is still a viable option.

Tier 3: WR2
16. Zay Flowers
17. DJ Moore
18. Michael Pittman
19. Deebo Samuel*
20. Calvin Ridley
21. Jakobi Meyers
22. Amari Cooper
23. Terry Mclaurin
24. Jordan Addison
25. Tyler Lockett*
Is the shift Baltimore Ravens wide receiver finally set loose? Zay Flowers recorded his first career touchdown on Sunday against the Tennessee Titans. Flowers will look to carry his momentum and possibly propel himself to fringe WR1 status.
With Anthony Richardson done for the season after an injury suffered in Week 7, Gardner Minshew takes the helm. In hindsight, this could be better for Michael Pittman with more volume in the passing game. Calvin Ridley still struggles to find a rhythm leaving fantasy managers to second-guess his production. The boom-or-bust ability of Ridley still provides enough evidence that he should be started as a WR2.

Tier 4: WR3/Flex Picks
26. Chris Godwin
27. Christian Kirk
28. Christian Watson
29. Diontae Johnson*
30. George Pickens
31. Tyler Lockett
32. K.J. Osborn
33. Michael Thomas
34. Courtland Sutton
35. Joshua Palmer
36. Jerry Jeudy
The massive plays of Christian Watson from his rookie year are yet to be replicated. Nonetheless, he’s a worthy starter even in a lackluster Green Bay Packers offense. While it’s hard to trust Kenny Pickett, George Pickens has emerged as the top receiver for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Even if Diontae Johnson returns, Pickens should still be the main wide receiver worth a start.
While a reliable player, Tyler Lockett’s fantasy season has been hard to trust. Lockett still checks in as a solid WR3 due to the high volume of targets he still accumulates.
