Fantasy Football Rankings - Week 7, 2026
Your fantasy football season is in make or break territory. Fantasy Football Rankings for Week 7 will guide you to make the correct decisions. We now have enough data points to breakdown every team. We need to stay Bayesian and adjust or prior predictions. There is tremendous variance in football every week, no matter how much data we gather there are too many moving parts to be as confident in our predictions in football as we are when analyzing other sports.

Fantasy Football Weekly Rankings
When examining these fantasy football weekly rankings, take into consideration that I am really only looking at positional ranks, not flex or overall rankings. When it comes to who you start in the flex a lot will depend on your specific league rules and roster construction. If players are ranked within 3 spots of each other the difference between them is negligible, they are expected to score the same amount of points, in those cases go with your gut, flip a coin, or join our Discord Channel.
Quarterback
Ravens head coach Jesse Minter said Monday that Lamar Jackson could "potentially" practice in Week 7 and is still being considered day-to-day, Ryan Mink of the team's official site reports.
On the season, Caleb Williams has a 6.4 air yards per attempt rate. That's lower than both Case Keenum (7.4) and Tyson Bagent (6.8). With that being said, 9.9% of his attempts have gone 20 or more air yards, when the other two quarterbacks are at 7.5% and 7.8%.
Bo Nix has a 4.9 air yards per pass attempt rate so far this year. Among the 338 quarterback seasons with 100 or more pass attempts from Week 1-6 since 2016, Nix has the lowest air yards per attempt rate out of all of them.
CJ Stroud has scored over 20 fantasy points in three straight games. He scored 20+ points in a game just three times all of last season.
Among quarterbacks with 100 or more attempts, only Jared Goff has more passing fantasy points per game this year than Bryce Young. Young is also averaging the most 20+ air yard completions per game.
Jalon Daniels has targeted his running backs at a 15% rate, his wide receivers at a 70% rate, and his tight ends at a 15% rate. Baker Mayfield provided target shares of 26%, 55%, and 19% to those three positions.
Patrick Mahomes is averaging 2.3 rushing points per game this year when he was at 5.2 last year. Mahomes is averaging fewer than 15 fantasy points per game over his last three, and his rushing points per game average during this timeframe is just 0.57.
