I’m curious to see some of the receivers who will be used in Fantasy lineups in Week 7, especially in deeper formats. While CeeDee Lamb (ankle) and Mike Evans (hamstring) might return to action after extended absences — and Rashee Rice is back now that his six-game suspension is over — we’re still dealing with several ailments at the position.
The new injuries for Week 7 include Puka Nacua (ankle), Garrett Wilson (knee), Marvin Harrison Jr. (concussion), Emeka Egbuka (hamstring), D.J. Moore (groin), Josh Downs (concussion) and Calvin Ridley (hamstring). And we’re still monitoring other injuries to players who have been out recently, including Terry McLaurin (quadriceps), Quentin Johnston (hamstring), Ricky Pearsall (knee) and Jauan Jennings (ribs).
You need to keep an eye on the injury report all week, and we’ll have you covered on CBS Sports. And, depending on who is out, we could see guys like Elic Ayomanor, Sterling Shepard, Zay Jones, Jordan Whittington and Josh Reynolds, among others, playing prominent roles for Fantasy managers in Week 7.
Those are desperation plays, but one or two of them could decide your matchup for this week. And we’ll tell you if any of those guys are start options below.
We’ll also get into the other players to use at quarterback, running back and tight end, and there are a lot of great matchups in Week 7. So let’s get started to make sure your lineups are right for this scoring period.

Chiefs (vs. LV)
Geno Smith has six interceptions in his past three games, and the Raiders have allowed six sacks in their past two outings. Las Vegas has also scored 26 points combined in the past two weeks against the Colts and Titans. This should be a great game for the Chiefs DST in Week 7.
Browns (vs. MIA)
Seahawks (vs . HOU)
Eagles (at MIN)
Chargers (vs. IND)
The Chargers were great on defense in Week 6 at Miami with two sacks and three interceptions, but this is a tougher matchup. The Colts have allowed just five sacks on the season, and Indianapolis only has four turnovers on the year. The Colts have also scored 71 points in their past two games against the Raiders and Cardinals, and Indianapolis has been above 20 points in every game this season. This is a good week to sit the Chargers DST.
