Week 7 WR Rankings: Who’s This Week’s Top 5?

Posted by on Oct 18, 2011 in Fantasy Football, Fantasy Football Rankings


The Week 7 bye week offers a few interesting plays at WR for fantasy owners, and despite the Top 10 looking much like owners would expect, it is the middle of the meat pack that holds great supportive value.

A few receivers crack the Top 20 this week that many of you haven’t been used to seeing, and as many savvy fantasy owners know, it is the WR 2 and 3 slot that often holds just as much value as their top dog.

Let’s take a look at who’s who this week.

    I’ve got VJax, Little, & DHB. I gotta start 2. VJax makes me nervous going up against Revis not 100% healthy. Bailey shut him down last week.

    I also have to choose my 2 rbs & flex. I’ve got Rice, D. Murray, Graham, Beanie, & Tolbert.
    I know to go with Rice. I was thinking about Murray against a weak Rams defense and Graham as my flex. What you think?

      My vote would be Rice(no Doubt) followed by Beanie and Graham.
      Demarco /graham is close to a toss up to me.
