Fantasy Football Start ’em, Sit ’em: Week 7 WRs
Start: Mike Evans Fantasy Outlook vs Baltimore Ravens
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ big WR will be on the right side of this Fantasy Football Start ’em, Sit ’em article for Week 7. Mike Evans had a tough week against Marshon Lattimore, as is usually the case, when Tampa Bay played New Orleans. Take that one game out of the way, and he had back-to-back weeks of 23+ points. In the three games that the Buccaneers have played at home, Evans has scored 20+ in two of them (the third was against Patrick Surtain II). Could this be a case of home-field advantage?
On the flip side of the ball is the Baltimore Ravens who will come into Raymond James Stadium for a Monday Night Football matchup. Baltimore has allowed the third-most fantasy points to WRs this season. That includes five WRs who have scored over 20 points in those six games they have played (including two to teammates Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins). Put Mike Evans into your lineups for the MNF showdown.
Start: Zay Flowers Fantasy Outlook vs Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Zay Flowers should be a starter in your lineups this week. “Joystick” (as Lamar Jackson called him) has had a good season so far, totaling 19+ points in three of the six games this season. Jackson and Flowers have had a good connection so far, and that should only continue when they go South to Tampa Bay.
The Buccaneers defense has given up the sixth-most fantasy points to WRs this year. Week 5, against the Atlanta Falcons, they gave up 30+ points to both Drake London and Darnell Mooney. He had a little bounce-back week against the New Orleans Saints, but the Saints also started Spencer Rattler for his first career start. Speaking of starts, start Flowers in your Lineups.

Sit: Amari Cooper Fantasy Outlook vs Tennessee Titans
The newest Buffalo Bill will be a sit for us this week for your lineups. Amari Cooper was acquired by the Buffalo Bills Tuesday afternoon. That gives him four days to get acquainted with the team and learn the playbook. That isn’t much time to learn and be productive for the journeyman WR.
The Tennessee Titans also have given up the second-fewest points to WRs so far this season. WR1s have been doing a little bit better than the rest, but not much. Outside of last week, only three WRs reached the double-digit mark for fantasy points. Cooper is on the wrong side of the Week 7 Fantasy Football Start ’em, Sit ’em article.
Sit: Brandon Aiyuk Fantasy Outlook vs Kansas City Chiefs
Brandon Aiyuk will be a sit for us this week, as the San Francisco 49ers host the Kansas City Chiefs in a Super Bowl rematch. Aiyuk has been underwhelming this season, only getting double-digit points in one game. The rest have been 9.8 or less. Aiyuk has been outshined by Jauan Jennings in the SF WR room, which also doesn’t help matters.
Aiyuk and the 49ers will have to play a KC defense that has been very good against the WRs. They have given up, on average, the seventh-fewest points to WRs. With KC coming off the bye, they have had more time to prepare for SF. Leave the disappointing Aiyuk on your bench this week.
