It has been an emotional roller coaster in the fantasy football world so far this season. Through six weeks of ups and downs, fantasy managers are now used to the continuous shuffling of rosters due to newfound and lingering injuries and the emergence of bye weeks. Enter Week 7, which has been dubbed \u2018Bye Week Armageddon\u2019, where <\/span>six <\/span><\/i>teams are on a bye. So where can value be found among some of the lesser valued fantasy football assets? Here\u2019s a rundown of the key players in the top four skill positions that will play above their value in fantasy football in Week 7.<\/span><\/p>\n

Fantasy Football: Value Players to Target in Week 7<\/span><\/h2>\n

Quarterback: Matt Ryan, Atlanta Falcons<\/i><\/strong><\/h3>\n

A few weeks ago, the thought of having Matt Ryan<\/a> as a starting quarterback on a fantasy roster would have been incredibly laughable. The Atlanta Falcons<\/a> offensive production has been thoroughly disappointing this season, even when playing in mostly negative game-script situations. While the likes of the highly sought-after pass-catching weapons of Calvin Ridley and Kyle Pitts have not quite met expectations, there have been some other <\/span>interesting surprises<\/span><\/a> along the way.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

With big-named leaders such as Dak Prescott and Josh Allen on a bye this week, as well as Russell Wilson doing a stint on injured reserve, fantasy managers are running to the waiver wire to help their Week 7 chances of taking home a victory. Yet, over the past two weeks this quarterback has played, he has thrown for six touchdowns, no interceptions, over 600 yards, and averaged slightly over 25 fantasy points per game. That quarterback? Matt Ryan. His opponent this week? The defense that has allowed the fourth-most passing yards on the season: the Miami Dolphins<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Coming in as a low-end QB2 on the season (while only playing five games, as Atlanta\u2019s bye week was last week), expect Ryan, who finished QB3 and QB11 over his past two games, to keep up his mid-to-low range QB1 performance this week as a great value start; potentially even a waiver wire add as a nice streaming option.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
