SportsLine's model reveals its Week 7 Fantasy football projections, PPR rankings, start-sit advice for sites like CBS Sports, ESPN and Yahoo
Ohio State has a claim of being Wide Receiver U do the number of standout NFL wideouts it has produced. However, a number of those Buckeyes may not be available as Week 7 Fantasy football picks, due to injury, which undoubtedly has thrown a wrench into the Week 7 Fantasy football rankings. Garrett Wilson (knee), Marvin Harrison Jr. (concussion) and Emeka Egbuka (hamstring) were all sidelined on Sunday, while Terry McLaurin has missed the last few weeks. With their availabilities unknown, you could be waiting until pregame inactives are declared, which makes for some anxious Fantasy football start/sit decisions.
Fortunately, Buckeyes like Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Jameson Williams and Chris Olave are still upright and available for Week 7 Fantasy football lineups. However, you need to have backup plans for those Ohio State standouts, especially since non-Buckeyes like CeeDee Lamb, Mike Evans and Ricky Pearsall have iffy statuses as well. Before making your Week 7 Fantasy football picks, be sure to check out the Week 7 Fantasy football rankings from the proven computer model at SportsLine.

Top Week 7 Fantasy football picks
One surprise in Week 7: The model is fading Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts, the reigning Super Bowl MVP who ranks fourth in positional Fantasy points this year. Much of Hurts' Fantasy production has come from the ground but he's had just 15 total rushing yards over the last two weeks and is averaging his fewest rushing yards per game in five years. Then there's what Hurt has done, or hasn't done, as a passer as he's part of the 29th-ranked passing offense in the league.
Hurts ranks just 26th in passing yards per game and is tied for 25th in passing touchdowns per game. On Sunday, he'll have to face possibly the best pass defense in the league as the Vikings have allowed the second-fewest yards through the air and the fourth-fewest passing touchdowns. Only two teams have given up fewer Fantasy points to quarterbacks than Minnesota, and with Hurts ranking outside the top 12 in Week 7 Fantasy football QB rankings, he may not warrant a spot in lineups.
Another curveball: The model is high on Chargers running back Kimani Vidal. With Najee Harris first exiting the lineup, and then Omarion Hampton doing the same, Vidal is the next man up in Los Angeles' backfield. He didn't disappoint in his first career start in Week 6 as he ran 18 times for 124 yards while adding 14 yards and a score through the air. He also dominated the time share in L.A.'s backfield with more than twice as many snaps (43) as backup Hassan Haskins (20).
The Chargers rank third in yards per rush attempt, so whomever lines up in their backfield seems destined for success. Vidal and L.A. will take on the Colts on Sunday, and Indy ranks 19th in yards per carry allowed. Five of the six starting RBs that Indianapolis has faced have either 94-plus scrimmage yards or a touchdown in 2025. Vidal is a top-15 Fantasy running back this week, making him a must-start in all sized leagues.
