NFL Week 7 Start or Sit by Position
Updated · News Hub Fantasy projections in DraftKings points (full PPR)
Week 7's start/sit board is unusually flat. News Hub Fantasy's DraftKings projections show dead-even gaps at four spots: Jameis Winston versus Jacoby Brissett at QB, Blake Corum versus Cam Skattebo and De'Von Achane versus Jawhar Jordan at RB, and Darren Waller versus Tyler Higbee at TE. None of these pairs separate on paper, so the call comes down to role and game script rather than a clear scoring edge.
With projections tied, Achane's name still carries the most weight given his standing workload, but the data gives no reason to bench Jordan outright either. Treat each pairing as a true toss-up this week, and lean on matchup context beyond these numbers before locking a lineup.
That's the call from the red zone. — Rhett
