Welcome, RotoBallers, to my official tiered rankings for week 7 of this NFL season! You can find my core plays at RB and WR each week in my Anchors column as well as the rest of my favorites plays in our premium cheat sheet.
The concept behind these rankings is to give you an idea of how to approach lineup building for this week's slate. I will rank all relevant players based on their point-per-dollar value in one of five tiers and then provide notes on each tier explaining how I plan to utilize each tier this week.
Tier 1 is going to have most of my favorite plays and likely a good bit of chalk, but you're not likely going to be able to build too many lineups ONLY using players from Tier 1.
Tiers 2 and 3 are going to have some players you will want to mix and match in lineups, likely at lower ownership than Tier 1.
Tiers 4 and 5 are players that I likely won't have much exposure to that week and are players that you should only consider in large field GPPs if you are going to be mass multi-entering a large number of lineups.
NFL Week 7 - Premium DFS Rankings
- Rankings are based primarily on DK pricing and are based on points-per-dollar value, not raw points.
- Core plays are highlighted in green boxes.
- Bold black font indicates the player is useable in all formats - tournaments and cash games.
- Bold blue font indicates the player is preferred for tournaments. These are usually lower-owned pivot plays.
- Red font indicates that I am fading that player, and wouldn't suggest any exposure to them even if you are making multiple builds.
- If a player is not on the chart, it's likely because they are only a part-time player on offense. I will attempt to update the rankings and notes each week on Saturday or Sunday morning once injury news becomes more concrete.
Tier 1 Notes:
As usual, here's where all the goodness is! If you can make a lineup using only these players, that's an optimal build for cash games or small field single-entry. It's tough this week because there are a lot of high-priced plays we really like and want to prioritize, and that's why we see some cheap pieces like Hardman and Batemen up here in this tier. Henry and Henderson are my cash game backs while Hill and Adams will be staples of all my lineups (though, not likely together).
Tier 2 Notes:
A bunch of pivots to like here, including Darrel Williams for the Chiefs as some cheap exposure to their massive total. A.J Brown is a pivot off Henry and you could certainly play them both with Tannehill in a saturation stack. RSJ continues to be a cheap TE I want to use, though I think Gesicki is also very appealing as well if you can't quite get up to Goedert or one of the high-priced guys. I love the Falcons this week (feels gross to say) which is why you see Patterson here and Ridley in tier one.
Tier 3 Notes:
Each week I find myself in tier trying to highlight guys in blue that I want to really feature in GPPs and I can't do it. There are plenty of worthy plays here for larger fields and for MME, but James Connor might be the only one I really mess with as he has an elite matchup with Houston.
Tier 4 Notes:
Again, not much I want here in a smaller player pool, but also no one I would totally fade either.
Tier 5 Notes:
Most of my fades are down here and guys that I don't see having much upside. I rarely dip into Tier 5 even in my GPP builds and you really shouldn't either, unless you are max-entering and want to grab a small percentage of a player there.
