Top 100 Rest Of Season Fantasy Football Rankings (Week 7)
STACKED extracted the fantasy-relevant player signal from this video and kept the full transcript here for context.
Player insights
A.J. Brown
Brown gets a favorable matchup against the Bears this week after returning from an ankle injury. The source criticized his recent performance as having a 'lack of concentration' that was 'brutal to watch,' but is 'very much hoping for good things' given Drake May continues to play well.
Insight pageAaron Jones
Moved down to 84 in rankings. The source views him as a reserve back on a low volume team that doesn't use their running backs much, ranking him behind Jordan Mason.
Insight pageAmon-Ra St. Brown
Amon-Ra St. Brown is ranked A-tier in rest-of-season rankings and is averaging over 19 points per game.
Insight pageBo Nix
Ranks dead last among all quarterbacks in average depth of target at 701st out of 701. Ryan Fitzpatrick said Nix is disrespecting the game of football, and the source agrees. Source was not high on Nix as a prospect but did not expect him to be this bad given his film from last year. This poor target distribution severely limits the upside of his receivers like Jaylen Waddle.
Insight pageBreece Hall
Ranked 37th; the source was expecting him to return this week but it sounds like he will miss yet another week. The source is right in the middle on Breece Hall and thinks he will return to a very good role, not a 50-50 time share with Braelon Allen. The source suggests slightly trying to buy on Breece Hall, noting that some fantasy managers are upset about having him and he could potentially be acquired at a discount.
Insight pageBrock Bowers
Brock Bowers is ranked A-tier in rest-of-season rankings and is averaging over 19 points per game.
Insight pageBucky Irving
Irving moved up to 39th in rankings despite poor results last week because his usage was very strong: 85% snap share (his highest of the season), all short-yardage work with Shawn Tucker out, and would have received goal-line work if available. Gainwell has trended toward zero touches, making Irving the clear lead back. Irving has back-to-back volume spike games with 9 and 16 targets and is getting Baker Mayfield back this week; the source is lower than consensus on the Buccaneers overall and wouldn't call Irving a buy, but the volume spike is notable.
Insight pageCaleb Williams
Averaging 20.5 points per game with two completed starts scoring 37 and 16 points; only threw one passing touchdown when it should have been more. The source's main frustration is that every drive ends with a three-yard touchdown to a running back, limiting passing volume.
Insight pageCarnell Tate
Projected to have top-five target share for his team on a given week, but quarterback play is a major limiting factor. Cam Ward went 11 for 22 with 120 yards last week and the offensive line is poor. Tate has a pretty good ceiling on a given week, but his floor is literally one catch for eight yards because of how bad his quarterback is.
Insight pageCeeDee Lamb
CeeDee Lamb is ranked A-tier in rest-of-season rankings and is averaging over 19 points per game, per Mattek Fantasy Football's top 100 rest-of-season rankings.
Insight pageChase Brown
Ranked 19th in rest-of-season rankings and is the lowest-scoring player ranked this high. The source is giving Brown one more week of grace based on past performance, with a conditional downgrade if he remains inefficient and loses passing game work to Samaje Perine. The source references Brown's recent stretch where he averaged under three yards per carry before scoring touchdowns to elevate his fantasy output, noting the Bengals as a team have not gotten out of second gear yet this year.
Insight pageChris Olave
Ranked 22nd. One of the things elevating Olave despite Tyler Shockey's uneven play has been the Saints running so many plays. High offensive volume is a key driver of Olave's fantasy elevation, contrasting with the Vikings' bottom-third play-call volume.
Insight pageChristian McCaffrey
Christian McCaffrey is ranked B-tier in rest-of-season rankings. The source considered moving him up further due to injuries to Mike Evans and Debo Samuel increasing his target volume, which has been insane. However, his efficiency as a receiver has not been there, and he has not shown the explosive plays he is known for. The volume is steady and dependable, and Brock Purdy is playing phenomenally at quarterback, but McCaffrey is relying heavily on one-yard touchdowns, which creates concern about sustainability.
Insight pageChristian Watson
Chuba Hubbard
Moved up from 32nd to 25th in rankings. The source initially had difficulty elevating him because his production looked uninspiring and grinded out, noting he has gone through similar stretches in past seasons with benching and injury concerns. However, recognizing he is the fifth-highest scoring running back and that the source was lowest on the site, the source decided to give Hubbard more respect and moved him up one spot behind Ashton Jeanty.
Insight pageColston Loveland
Ranked at 63 after finally delivering on draft capital. Dominated targets with multiple red zone targets in recent games; has two of the last three games as legitimate fantasy starts. The source believes the Bears' bizarre five-game start is normalizing and Loveland will be a top-five tight end for the rest of the season. He plays every snap and has the most offensive snaps of any NFL player this year, has soft hands, and is attached to a great offense and coordinator.
Insight pageD.J. Moore
Has not been able to play due to injury and the source is out on him. Heading into week eight with minimal production; by week nine he will have only one game that felt good. The source views the injury situation as a major concern for fantasy value.
Insight pageD'Andre Swift
Ranked 30th, averaging 17.3 PPG. Swift keeps scoring touchdowns and works in the passing game with Caleb Williams back, but the source does not particularly respect his talent level at this stage of his career. The core issue: Swift must deal with Montrell Roshan and even Caleb Williams taking his touchdowns, unlike Javonte Williams who has more concentrated work. Swift's fantasy value appears touchdown-dependent rather than talent-driven.
Insight pageDak Prescott
David Montgomery
Ranked 93rd in rest-of-season top 100. The source says 'this guy sucks' and cites the Texans offensive line as a major problem limiting his production.
Insight pageDenzel Boston
Ranked at 71 and must contend with the volatility of being a Cleveland Brown. He received only one target last week despite being described as a difference-making NFL player, highlighting inconsistent usage and role uncertainty.
Insight pageDerrick Henry
Derrick Henry is ranked A-tier in rest-of-season rankings and is averaging over 19 points per game, per Mattek Fantasy Football's top 100 rest-of-season rankings.
Insight pageDeVonta Smith
Ranked 29th, coming back from injury. The source found the Tanner McKee Eagles offense marginally interesting, noting the team appears more comfortable pushing the ball outside the hashes to DeVonta Smith in a way they would not necessarily do with Jaylen Hurts, suggesting a role shift that favors Smith's usage.
Insight pageDrake London
Ranked 27th in rest-of-season rankings. The source is slightly lower than consensus on Drake London, noting he is 'obviously fine' but expressing a marginal downgrade relative to market expectations.
Insight pageGarrett Wilson
Ranked 28th. The source wonders if Omar Cooper Jr. and Adonai Mitchell both being on the field is slightly bad for Garrett Wilson. However, his target-earning prowess has been on display this year, suggesting he can maintain production despite the added receiving weapons.
Insight pageGeorge Kittle
Kittle is ranked 46th overall and is projected to have 'an unreal run out to the year' with Mike Evans out injured. The source would not be surprised if Kittle ends up having the most receptions of his career in a season if he stays healthy through the end of the year.
Insight pageGeorge Pickens
Ranked 36th; the source is slightly higher than consensus on Pickens. The issue with Pickens is that his numbers with CeeDee Lamb off the field have been just as good as last year, but his numbers with Lamb on the field have been worse this year than last year. The Cowboys have not been hyper-efficient on offense and have had a couple of disappointing outings that are suppressing numbers for everyone.
Insight pageHarold Fannin
Ranked at 100 and averaging 8.9 points per game. Ranked 100th in top 100 rest-of-season rankings, averaging 8.9 points per game; provides baseline production metric for rest-of-season evaluation.
Insight pageIsaiah Likely
Likely is ranked 40th and is averaging 18.2 fantasy points per game with 12, 13, and 11 targets in his last three games. The source views this ranking as potentially too low, noting Likely is more disrespected than Trey McBride (17.2 ppg average) and has a clearer path to targets despite concerns about JJ McCarthy at quarterback.
Insight pageJ.K. Dobbins
Ranked at 70 and described as 'a much bigger part of the offense' following Sean Payton's takeover of play-calling, suggesting increased usage and role expansion.
Insight pageJa'Marr Chase
Jadarian Price
Ranked 95th in rest-of-season top 100. The source would be trying to minorly buy Price right now because Emanuel Wilson and George Helani are going to absolute zero, creating opportunity in the backfield. The source is curious what the snap split looks like when Charbonnet returns, but sees Price as a buy candidate alongside Charbonnet given the lack of other viable options.
Insight pageJalen Coker
Ranked 49th overall by the source (Danny has him at 36, source is the low man). Over the most recent 10 games Coker and Bryce Young played together, Coker is actually averaging more fantasy points per game than Ted Ruffin McMillan over that span. Coker has shown a higher average depth target than expected for his archetype and demonstrates better chemistry with Bryce Young on scramble drills.
Insight pageJames Cook
James Cook is ranked 14th in rest-of-season rankings, per Mattek Fantasy Football's top 100 rest-of-season rankings.
Insight pageJared Goff
Javonte Williams
Ranked 18th in rest-of-season rankings. The source characterizes Williams as highly predictable: touchdown-dependent with a binary outcome structure. If he scores one touchdown he has a very good game; if he scores two he has a great game; if he doesn't score he has a bad game. No variability or uncertainty in his floor/ceiling.
Insight pageJavonte Williams is ranked 18th in rest-of-season rankings. His fantasy output is entirely touchdown-dependent: if he scores one touchdown he has a very good game, if he scores zero he has a bad game, and if he scores two he has a great game.
Insight pageJayden Daniels
Ranked at 72 in rest-of-season rankings with no specific commentary provided by the source.
Insight pageJaylen Waddle
Ranked 56th overall (Zack has him at 60). Good matchup opportunity against Arizona where Denver might get something going offensively. However, severely limited by Bo Nix's play; Nix ranks dead last in average depth of target (701st of 701). Ryan Fitzpatrick said Nix is disrespecting the game of football, and the source agrees. Until Nix improves, there will be nothing good for Waddle despite him having the snaps and routes. Waddle has already had an 8-catch, 138-yard game.
Insight pageJaylen Warren
Ranked 33rd, averaging 17 PPG. The source found the usage in the last game annoying because Warren played 75% of snaps but was in a 50-50 time share with Rico Doubs for the first three quarters; when the game went to overtime and became serious, Rico Doubs got benched and Warren played 31 of the final 37 snaps. The source views this as a potential buying window but notes that Rico Doubs is not going anywhere and the coaching staff wants to keep them in a time share. However, Warren will likely continue to get most high-value touches and goal-line work, which is significant given the Steelers run inside the 10-yard line less than any other team.
Insight pageJeremiyah Love
Love is ranked 38th in rest-of-season rankings and has been the starting running back for the Packers, handling early-down, goal-line work in each of the last two weeks plus a huge game against San Francisco. The source finds the limited usage confusing and would personally want to expand Love's role; Love has injured both ankles and may need to get healthy before the team expands his opportunities.
Insight pageJoe Burrow
Jonathan Taylor
Jonathan Taylor is ranked A-tier in rest-of-season rankings and is averaging over 19 points per game, per Mattek Fantasy Football's top 100 rest-of-season rankings.
Insight pageJordan Mason
Coming back from injury ranked at 82. The source expects what little rushing touchdowns there are in the San Francisco 49ers offense to go to Jordan Mason and expects their passing to running backs to trend down because that historically has not been a part of the offense. Ranked ahead of Aaron Jones.
Insight pageJordyn Tyson
Traveling with the team this week. First-round draft pick wide receiver and very good prospect who evaluated as a better receiver prospect than Cardell Tate before draft capital was factored in. The source is worried about Tyson eating into target share, specifically impacting Chris Olave's allocation.
Insight pageJosh Allen
Josh Downs
Ranked at 75 and the source considers ranking him even lower. Despite averaging over 90% route share for the Colts, Downs has severely underperformed expectations. The source cites Daniel Jones playing poorly as a key factor and expresses regret about his preseason evaluation, calling Downs one of the players he was most wrong about this season. His career targets per route run and yards per route run metrics made him look like a 'secret superstar player,' but he has not materialized. Potential improvement depends on Jones' health or Riley Leonard entering the game.
Insight pageJosh Jacobs
Jacobs is ranked 44th in rest-of-season rankings and projects for 14.5 fantasy points against the Lions this week. The source notes that Marshon Lloyd, Caleb Johnson, and Pierre Strong have been poor runners, forcing the Packers to throw more than desired, which could make Jacobs' presence make the team more run-heavy upon his return. The source acknowledges a looming domestic violence suspension could happen at any time but still views Jacobs as a top-50 fantasy player. There is disagreement among analysts: Zach has him at 37th while Danny has him ranked significantly lower.
Insight pageJustin Jefferson
Ranked 21st with slight concerns about quarterback play and receiver feeding. The Vikings employ a low-volume offense that prioritizes running the ball and clock management, which limits passing volume. The Vikings rank bottom-third in plays run, a departure from their pass-first approach under prior coaching. This contrasts with high-play-call offenses like the Saints that have elevated receivers despite inconsistent tight end play.
Insight pageJuwan Johnson
Ranked 99th in rest-of-season top 100. The source is worried about Tyson coming back, which would limit Jawan Johnson's role and fantasy value.
Insight pageKeenan Allen
Ranked 103rd in top 100 rest-of-season rankings; the source identifies Keenan Allen as a clear beneficiary of poor quarterback play and the Tyler Warren injury, suggesting his ranking reflects undervalued opportunity in the passing game.
Insight pageKenneth Walker III
Kenneth Walker is having one of the 10 highest PPR fantasy points per game seasons of all time in NFL history; ranked S-tier in rest-of-season rankings.
Insight pageKeon Coleman
Even with DJ Moore in the lineup, Keon Coleman maintains a huge role. He has been the best red zone weapon on the Bills team and looks really good with the trust of the coaching staff and Josh Allen.
Insight pageKyren Williams
Ranked 17th in rest-of-season rankings despite a down week when target volume decreased. The source notes that without Devonte Adams and Terren Ferguson in the lineup, Kyren should continue to get fed. Rams running backs are second in the NFL in total running back target share; historically under McVay they have been 31st or 32nd, which the source attributes to Terren Ferguson's absence limiting tight end targets. The source considers Kyren a slight buy in fantasy football.
Insight pageLamar Jackson
Ranked 55th overall, a ranking the source acknowledges is probably optimistic because he doesn't expect Jackson to play this week. Source notes that despite ranking Drake May and Peyton Barber high, if Lamar plays healthy this week, he would take Lamar over them. However, the source emphasizes that Lamar has not played healthy football this year.
Insight pageLuther Burden
Burden continues to play limited snaps but is targeted at a very high rate when on the field, with high yards per route run. He does not play in heavy packages or much at the goal line. The source is waiting for a game where Caleb Williams starts and the Bears trail to see if Ben Johnson will expand Burden's role, believing Johnson is smart enough to know the team cannot reach its peak without Burden since Roma Dun is not good enough.
Insight pageMalik Nabers
Malik Nabers is ranked A-tier in rest-of-season rankings despite not averaging over 19 points per game like other A-tier players. The source is encouraged by JJ McCarthy's performance and notes that Nabers has received 20 and 15 targets in recent games, putting him in a tier with Justin Jefferson. The source would not sell Nabers and considers him a slight buy in fantasy football, as some league members may panic about the quarterback change from Jameis Winston to JJ McCarthy.
Insight pageMatthew Golden
The source calls Golden 'the biggest buy high in fantasy football.' He leads the entire NFL in unrealized air yards with 640, more than 160 yards ahead of the second-place player (480). Averaging 16 fantasy points per game while 'arguably running bad,' Golden could have had two additional touchdowns in Monday night's game that he failed to come down with, suggesting significant upside ahead.
Insight pageMichael Wilson
Ranked 47th overall. Wilson has trended down in routes and overall involvement since Marvin Harrison Jr. was traded. The source believes Wilson is miscast as a primary receiver and is better suited as a secondary receiver/Robin to Trey McBride's Batman, suggesting he should be traded away for alternatives like Isaiah Likely or Bucky Irving if possible.
Insight pageMike Evans
Expected to return in week nine. The source views him as a difference-making player when healthy and expresses hope he can stay healthy for the rest of the season.
Insight pageNico Collins
Nico Collins is ranked 16th in rest-of-season rankings and is averaging 18 points per game, per Mattek Fantasy Football's top 100 rest-of-season rankings.
Insight pageOllie Gordon II
Ranked 54th overall. Expected to be touchdown-dependent with limited involvement in the passing game. Given how weak the running back position is overall, Gordon's waiver-wire availability makes him a valuable asset if he scores.
Insight pageOmar Cooper Jr.
Ranked at 81 and had his breakout game as a full-time player last week with 6 receptions for 103 yards and 1 touchdown on good usage; the source did not view him as a prospect but acknowledges the Jets clearly disagree. The Jets' offense is highly condensed, throwing primarily to four players: Wilson, Cooper, Mitchell, Saleh, and running backs, creating a favorable spot for receiving opportunities. This was not a flash in the pan.
Insight pageParker Washington
Ranked 23rd in rest-of-season rankings. Averaging 15 points per game with mega explosions in his game log. Has only two double-digit target games, with a 1-for-7 performance against Cincinnati dragging down his overall numbers. Despite this inconsistency, the source considers Parker Washington 'an elite fantasy football option.'
Insight pagePatrick Mahomes
Ranked at 66 and should have scored more fantasy points last week but was limited by the Chargers' poor performance; ran only 5 times for 16 yards. The source expects much better performance once teams stop allowing Kenneth Walker to run for 150 yards per game.
Insight pagePierre Strong Jr.
Pierre Strong has been 'so bad running the ball' alongside Marshon Lloyd and Caleb Johnson, forcing the Packers to throw more than Matt LaFleur would prefer; this poor performance by the backup running backs could limit Strong's role when Josh Jacobs returns.
Insight pagePuka Nacua
Rashee Rice
Ranked 51st overall. Expected to return this week but faces reduced role opportunity; Kenneth Walker has taken significant volume off his plate, with many plays that Rice previously handled now being run plays. The source expects fewer touchdown opportunities for Rice going forward, though he remains attached to one of the most efficient offenses in the NFL.
Insight pageRJ Harvey
Ranked in top 100 rest-of-season, averaging 10.7 points per game; the source notes difficulty starting him due to his role profile—receiving more targets than carries, similar to Pierre Thomas—which creates a tough spot for a running back in fantasy lineups.
Insight pageSam LaPorta
Laaporta averaging 15.5 points per game but volume outside one game against Carolina has been mediocre; the source acknowledges he may be ranked too low relative to Jameson Williams and considers raising him slightly, suggesting his tier placement is approximately correct.
Insight pageAveraging 15.5 points per game but volume outside one game against Carolina has been mediocre. The source acknowledges he may be ranked too low relative to Jameson Williams and considers raising him slightly, suggesting his tier placement is approximately correct.
Insight pageSaquon Barkley
Ranked at 65 but the source expresses serious concerns about his return. Questions whether he will even come back and if he does, he would return to a terrible team with a terrible offensive line. The source does not feel good about Barkley's fantasy prospects.
Insight pageStefon Diggs
Massive riser for the source; target share and yards per route run match expectations. Generated 16 fantasy points against San Francisco. Ranked lower than consensus (Mason has him at 45), but the source views him as an awesome buy right now. Plans to rank Diggs as a top-30 wide receiver every week going forward, believing he will be 'the sun, the moon, and the stars for this offense.' Despite bye week and age concerns that may tempt managers to sell low, the source is bullish on his role and production trajectory.
Insight pageTravis Kelce
Averaging 12.5 points per game at rank 62. The source would be happy to acquire and start him in flex position. Expects his role to grow as teams focus more on stopping Kenneth Walker, with the source noting both Walker and Patrick Mahomes are performing at elite levels.
Insight pageTreVeyon Henderson
Having an absolute nightmare season; not playing well, getting injured, and fumbling the ball. Mattek Fantasy Football describes it as just brutal.
Insight pageTrevor Lawrence
Ranked at 73 in rest-of-season rankings with no specific commentary provided by the source.
Insight pageTrey McBride
Trey McBride is ranked 15th in rest-of-season rankings but faces a difficult matchup this week, per Mattek Fantasy Football's top 100 rest-of-season rankings.
Insight pageTucker Kraft
Cannot gain traction in the offense; Watson and Golden are too dominant, and Josh Jacobs' return will further reduce passing volume. The source acknowledges ACL recovery as a factor but admits cognitive bias toward his preseason skepticism, feeling vindicated by current evidence.
Insight pageTyler Warren
Ranked at 69 in rest-of-season rankings; the source describes him as 'fine' with no major concerns or upside.
Insight pageWoody Marks
Ranked 98th in rest-of-season top 100. The source wouldn't be surprised if Woody Marks outscored David Montgomery for the rest of the year, suggesting significant upside relative to the veteran comparison.
Insight pageXavier Worthy
Had a great game for his standards with 7 targets, 7 receptions, 73 yards against the Chargers with no Rashee Rice. He was used much more in short and intermediate areas and crossing patterns. He has an every-down role on one of the best offenses in football, though he still has intricacies of the position to learn.
Insight pageZach Charbonnet
Ranked 92 and eligible to come off designated for return IR this week. Mattek Fantasy Football doesn't think Charbonnet is a very talented player, but knows there are a lot of fantasy points available in the Seattle Seahawks backfield because the team doesn't want to drop back as many times as they have been with Sam Darnold.
Insight pageZay Flowers
Ranked 20th. The source would like to move Flowers higher but notes Lamar Jackson is not practicing this week, marking another week without him. With Tyler Huntley as the backup, Flowers remains a clear start but cannot ascend to elite fantasy status without Lamar Jackson on the field. The source expresses uncertainty about Lamar's ankle injury timeline.
