Week 7 couldn’t get here any sooner, with so many upsets in Week 6 putting some of us through worse torture than a root canal. Brady came up short against a practice squad secondary in Pittsburgh, and Kyler and Geno just could not find the endzone. What was supposed to be more of a shoot-out ended up being a kicker and defensive battle. The byes are even more brutal this go-round, as we lose our cash game quarterback locks of Josh Allen and Jalen Hurts. But we’re all in the same boat and we’ll work with what we have on this 11-game slate. The projection model will always be our crutch to lean on when lineup building, but here are a few QBs to think about in the meantime. As usual, you can tag me @jdicarlo78 or anyone else in the crew at WinDaily in our expert chat on Discord for any help…let’s turn the page and break down these Week 7 QBs!
Let’s check out our NFL Week 7 DFS Quarterbacks!
Lamar Jackson ($8,000 DraftKings/$8,800 FanDuel)
Jackson gave up another loss last week forcing the ball out and leading to a costly interception that ended in the game-winning touchdown by the Giants. On Sunday Lamar and the Ravens will welcome their division rival Cleveland Browns with its 30th DVOA in total defense, 29th in rushing DVOA, and allow an average of 28 points per game. Jackson will be in a get-right game to get back on a Browns’ team who look to have given up on playing defense this year.
Patrick Mahomes ($7,800 DraftKings/$8,500 FanDuel)
The second of the elite quarterbacks from Week 6 to lose by throwing a pick. Week 7 will be an uphill fight for Mahomes traveling to the Bay Area. The Niners have been the kiss of death to opposing offenses this season but lost 6 players on defense due to injury last week, including second-year safety Talanoa Hufanga. Stay up to speed on the Niners’ injury report, but either way, Mahomes will bring his “A” game in a KC pass-heavy offense that averages close to 40 pass attempts per game.
Joe Burrow ($6,900 DraftKings/$8,300 FanDuel)
Joe “Cool” may still be on cloud nine after his 4 total touchdown game back home in Louisiana. Atlanta is also coming off a big win against the Niners and has been tough in every game this year. Thanks to the Falcon corners Casey Hayward and AJ Terrell, opposing quarterbacks and receivers have feasted on a 31st DVOA passing defense. Joe should bring some of that Week 6 magic home to Cinci. against an Atlanta team who refuses to lie down to their opponents.
Justin Herbert ($7,200 DraftKings/$8,100 FanDuel)
Herbert hasn’t looked like himself since his rib injury in Week 1, only putting up 9 fantasy points at home to Denver on Monday night. Denver’s D is stacked, so don’t sweat Herbert in that game. He needs his boy Keenan Allen back desperately, who may be available this weekend after a long-awaited hamstring recovery. Allen back on the field opposite Mike Williams may be just what the doctor ordered to get Herbert rejuvenated on Sunday, and facing a soft Seattle secondary (30th in DVOA for total points allowed) would be the perfect remedy.
Dak Prescott ($6,700 DraftKings/$7,500 FanDuel)
If Dak is back, he may be worth a shot in a tournament. Since Week 2 he’s watched backup Cooper Rush manage a 4-1 record from the sidelines, and is itching to get back under center. The Cowboys host Detroit this weekend in what could be a smash spot at quarterback. The Lions for 2022 has been the most fantasy-friendly team to every opposing position, 30th in DVOA to quarterbacks. If he does get cleared he may be worth the risk of a little rust to put up big numbers back at the helm.
Tom Brady ($6,300 DraftKings/$7,400 FanDuel)
The GOAT underperformed in Pittsburgh last week, even with its string of injuries at secondary. Brady may have left his game at Robert Kraft’s wedding the night before up in New England, who knows. Hopefully, the hangover wore off by now and he can get back on track to chucking touchdowns and beating up on inferior defenses. The Panthers have been dominated by Brady since he arrived in the NFC South, in two meetings last season he threw for over 550 yards and 4 touchdowns. The Goat should easily payoff his mid-range salary for this slate.
Jimmy Garoppolo ($5,500 DraftKings/$7,200 FanDuel)
There are two ways Jimmy can ball out against Kansas City in a rematch of the 2019 Super Bowl. Whether he is playing from behind or playing to keep up with Mahomes and the Chiefs, Garoppolo will need to add extra icy hot his shoulder after this game. The Kansas City defense has allowed the second most fantasy points to contending quarterbacks this year. Also, keep up with San Fran’s injuries on defense. If they’re still less than 100 percent on Sunday, Jimmy G’s workload will far exceed the cheap price tag.
