Bye weeks can’t get any more difficult than the one fantasy football managers face this week. Many will be forced to find replacements for their top performers – with the likes of Josh Allen, Jalen Hurts, Dalvin Cook, Justin Jefferson and Cooper Kupp not playing. So who might be able to step up in their places?
Fantasy football rankings for Week 7 are based on the point-per-reception (PPR) scoring used in most seasonal and daily fantasy football formats. One point is awarded for every 10 rushing and receiving yards and one point for every 20 passing yards. Six points are awarded for touchdowns scored, four points for passing TDs and one point for receptions.
ON BYE: Philadelphia, Minnesota, Buffalo, Los Angeles Rams
