Tevin Coleman is going up against a 1-5 Washington team whose defense is allowing +2.85 (No. 7) fantasy points above the mean to opposing running backs this year. Fantasy gamers strive to find high volume running backs on elite teams. Those who like to build lineups with a well thought out process and sound reasoning can’t possibly avoid him.

While Frank Gore still looms, Devin Singletary’s 30-percent Breakaway Run Rate and favorable matchup against Miami makes him an easy buy low candidate with tremendous upside in Week 7. The Bills should look to take an early lead at home against the Dolphins before riding their running backs to victory.

The Giants recently allowed Tom Brady and Kirk Cousins to eclipse the 300-yard passing mark. Playing in a game with a point total sitting at 50.5, Kyler Murray provides a strong value in cash games and enough upside to warrant GPP consideration in Week 7.

Standing 6-5, 208-pounds, Jake Kumerow dwarfs the 6-0 Gareon Conley, who mans the outside for Oakland. At $3,600, Kumerow provides leverage off Allen Lazard and allows gamers to jam multiple studs into their lineups.

Allen Lazard is sneaky athletic at 6-3, 225-pounds with a 107.9 (88th-percentile) Speed Score. Undrafted receivers can be DFS diamonds in the rough when given opportunity. Especially when priced at the stone-minimum in premium matchups while being tethered to Hall of Fame quarterback.

With Alvin Kamara already ruled out for Week 7, Latavius Murray is in for a hefty workload against the Bears. The Saints have been opening up holes for Murray this year, evidenced by his 77.3 (No. 13 among qualified running backs) Run Blocking Efficiency rating. With Akiem Hicks out with a knee sprain, this is a plus matchup for the Saints.

The Bengals have given up the second most receiving yards to running backs, the most rushing yards and the most fantasy points per game to the position. Leonard Fournette is priced as the RB6 on DraftKings, $1,900 cheaper than Saquon Barkley, and the RB3 on FanDuel. Lock him in as the best play of the week.

Cooper Kupp, who has scored a touchdown in three of the last four games, is top-three in Target Share, receptions and red zone receptions. He leads in yards after the catch and is No. 3 in fantasy points per game. Kupp is priced as the WR5 on the main slate on both FanDuel and DraftKings and is a good bet to finish as the overall WR1.

After struggling through castaway Trevor Siemian and third-string rookie Luke Falk at quarterback when Sam Darnold succumbed to mononucleosis, Le’Veon Bell offers big bounce-back, buy-low potential. He currently sits outside the top-15 in PPR formats, has failed to reach 20-plus fantasy points in a game since Week 2 and scored his first rushing TD in Week 6.

No quarterback who played more than 10 games last season showed a higher degree of Weekly Volatility than Mitchell Trubisky. He next faces a capable Saints defense and he’s set up for another failure, but better matchups loom on the horizon and he’s capable of salvaging the second half of the season with a handful of top-10 fantasy finishes.

Marquise Brown had a monster first week of the season. While he hasn’t dominated like that since then, he has still seen a 23.6-percent (No. 23 among qualified wide receivers) Target Share. He saw 16 targets in the last two games in which he was healthy, before suffering a Week 5 ankle sprain. While he hasn’t put up a ton of yardage, the opportunity and skill are still there.

There is one sin when it comes to being a wide receiver in the NFL, and that’s dropping passes. Nelson Agholor dropped a potential game-winner against the Falcons in Week 3, and has been targeted sparsely in the three games since. He has some tough matchups coming up, and the return of DeSean Jackson is looming.

Mike Williams missed Week 4 with a back injury, but has been stealing Keenan Allen’s lunch money in terms of volume since returning. Williams has 11 more targets, 214 more Air Yards and three more red zone targets. Allen is drawing fewer targets, and the ones he’s seeing are less likely to generate big spikes in fantasy points.

The Dolphins have given up the third-most points to opposing receivers at 26.2 per game, and John Brown’s matchup is especially enticing. He’ll be covered by Xavien Howard (questionable) who is currently ranked as PlayerProfiler’s 117th best corner and runs a 4.58 40-yard dash. He’s bad against most receivers, but Brown should be a nightmare for him.

Even though the Rams are fourth in the league with 43.0 pass plays-per-game, Jared Goff only has one (No. 32 among qualified quarterbacks) Money Throw compared to 19 (No. 2) Danger Plays. Goff owns a -14.7 (No. 27) Production Premium and a 76.1 (No. 28) True Passer Rating, with an 18.8-percent (No. 33) Deep Ball Completion Percentage.

After scoring at least 16 points in each game, Gardner Minshew put up a Week 6 dud. However, based on his +17.7 (No. 8) Production Premium, 7.4 (No. 9) Adjusted Yards-Per-Attempt and 125 (No. 8) rushing yards, Minshew Mania will return.

Out since Week 1 with a tibial plateau fracture, Hunter Henry returned to game action with a bang in Week 6. His volume remained secure, evidenced by eight catches for 100 yards and a pair of scores. With efficiency metrics and usage stats working in his favor, he is an immediate TE1 going forward.

Scott Miller stepped up and played 69.1-percent of Tampa Bay’s snaps in Week 6. On these snaps, he saw seven targets and 147 air yards. His 42 routes run ranked just behind Mike Evans (57) and Chris Godwin (59). While Tampa heads to bye this week, potentially giving Breshad Perriman a chance to heal, Miller remains a name to keep an eye on going forward.

Stefon Diggs’ 167 yards matched his total from the last three weeks combined, and his three touchdowns were his first scores since Week 2. It may have taken public outcry from the receivers, but everybody should be happy after this performance. It was never a talent problem with anyone on this offense, it was always a volume problem.

Kyler Murray racked up 340 yards and three touchdowns, adding 32 yards on the ground in his best fantasy day yet. When combining Arizona’s defense with lightning quick pace of play, there is ample opportunity for Murray and company to produce. With the Cardinals offense still having red zone conversion issues, his numbers have even more room to grow.
