We’re jumping head-first into Week 7 of the DFS season with some value picks that can help you maximize your budget without losing out on fantasy points. This week’s highlighted players come from the four skill positions, but all of them have the potential to provide solid returns on their salaries. These are the 4 best players for the money.
Geno Smith may not have had a flashy Week 6, but there’s a lot to like about this QB going forward.
Despite throwing only 1 touchdown and 2 interceptions last week (that’s a terrible ratio), Smith still leads the league in passing attempts and passing yards. So, it’s not for a lack of trying. On top of that, the more he throws the more INTs he will rack up.
Seattle’s offense has been airing it out, and with playmakers like DK Metcalf, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, and Tyler Lockett, Smith’s ceiling remains fairly high.
Smith’s Week 7 matchup against Atlanta looks very promising.
The Falcons have registered just five sacks this season, meaning Smith should have plenty of time to operate in the pocket where he feels the most comfortable.
Atlanta’s secondary, while decent in limiting yardage, has struggled in generating pressure, which should benefit Smith’s passing efficiency.
Now for what this really means. With a salary of $5.8k and a projection of 19.5 DK points, Smith provides excellent value at 3.36x. Seattle’s high-volume passing offense gives him a stable floor, and if Smith can clean up the turnovers and start converting more red-zone opportunities, his fantasy ceiling could rise considerably. This is the QB you want on your roster. This will free up plenty of other cash for other players.
Drake London has really hit his stride lately. He’s emerging as a go-to target in the Falcons’ offense.
After grabbing a touchdown in Week 6, he’s now found the end zone in four of the last five games. What’s even more impressive to us is his consistent volume — at least nine targets in each of his last four games, and double-digit targets in three straight. When we saw that it blew our minds! This means Atlanta is keeping him heavily involved, and that’s exactly what we want for DFS.
In Week 7, London faces a Seahawks secondary that has struggled against wide receivers.
Seattle has allowed the fifth-most fantasy points to wide receivers since Week 4, making this a juicy matchup for London.
His projected 18.4 fantasy points align well with his $6.9k salary, providing a solid return at 2.67x value. Look for London to continue being Desmond Ridder’s top option, especially in the red zone where he’s been a scoring threat.
Chuba Hubbard has quietly become a key part of Carolina’s offense. Taking a look at his numbers, he’s been delivering solid performances in recent weeks.
With 95+ scrimmage yards in three straight games, he’s offering both stability and upside.
Hubbard has also hit the 100-yard mark in three of the last four games, giving DFS managers confidence in his ability to put up huge points. He’s been finding the end zone as well, with a touchdown in three of his last four contests. He’s definitely producing for anyone that has him in their lineup.
The Week 7 matchup against Washington is another favorable spot for Hubbard. The Commanders rank 19th in points allowed to running backs, meaning Hubbard should have plenty of room to operate.
With a salary of $6.5k and a projection of 17.4 DK points, he’s sitting at a healthy 2.68x value. Hubbard’s dual-threat ability as both a runner and receiver makes him a great option to rack up the FP, and he’s been getting the volume to justify his selection.
Tight end is always a tricky position to navigate. However, we found that David Njoku brings some sneaky value in Week 7.
Though he’s been hit or miss this season, when healthy, Njoku has been an important piece of Cleveland’s passing attack.
He’s recorded at least four receptions in two of his last three games, and while Deshaun Watson has been inconsistent, Njoku’s role as a safety valve in the short passing game gives him a stable floor. He rarely walks away from a game with zero targets.
The matchup against Cincinnati is appealing, as the Bengals have allowed the seventh-most yards per target to tight ends this season.
At $4.1k, Njoku offers budget relief at a difficult position to fill, while his projected 9.9 FP gives him a decent 2.41x value. If Watson can settle into a rhythm, Njoku could be a go-to option, especially with how tight ends tend to be overlooked in DFS lineups.
These four players offer a nice balance of salary savings and production upside for Week 7 DFS lineups.
Drake London should be a prime target in what we’re seeing as a favorable matchup, while Chuba Hubbard brings consistency in scrimmage yards and scoring chances. David Njoku gives you budget flexibility in the TE position without sacrificing potential, and Geno Smith offers high volume in a game where he’ll have time to throw.
Mix and match these players into your lineups for a chance to maximize your DFS returns this week.
