It is time to look ahead to Week 7. Here are the Week 7 wide receiver rankings for fantasy football. The notable wide receivers on bye this week are Khalil Shakir and Zay Flowers. There are a lot of star wide receivers who are questionable for Week 7, including Puka, Emeka Egbuka, CeeDee Lamb, Mike Evans, Marvin Harrison Jr., Quentin Johnston, Terry McLaurin, Ricky Pearsall, and Jauan Jennings. Garrett Wilson has been ruled out.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Fantasy Football Wide Receiver Rankings Week 7<\/b><\/h2>\n<h3><b>Tier 1: Superstar WR1s<\/b><\/h3>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rank<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Player<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Opponent<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1<\/span><\/td>\n<td><b>Puka Nacua*<\/b><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jacksonville Jaguars<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2<\/span><\/td>\n<td><b>Amon-Ra St. Brown<\/b><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tampa Bay Buccaneers<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3<\/span><\/td>\n<td><b>Jaxon Smith-Njigba<\/b><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Houston Texans<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4<\/span><\/td>\n<td><b>Justin Jefferson<\/b><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Philadelphia Eagles<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5<\/span><\/td>\n<td><b>Emeka Egbuka*<\/b><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Detroit Lions<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">6<\/span><\/td>\n<td><b>Nico Collins<\/b><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Seattle Seahawks<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">7<\/span><\/td>\n<td><b>Ja\u2019Marr Chase<\/b><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pittsburgh Steelers<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">8<\/span><\/td>\n<td><b>Rome Odunze<\/b><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">New Orleans Saints<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">9<\/span><\/td>\n<td><b>CeeDee Lamb*<\/b><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Washington Commanders<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">10<\/span><\/td>\n<td><b>Davante Adams<\/b><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jacksonville Jaguars<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are a ton of injuries in the top tier of wide receivers to look into this week:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Smith-Njigba is now the overall WR2 on the season after a 30-point performance in Week 6.
