    For as painful as NFL football has been to watch at times this year, fantasy football remains as thrilling as ever. From the ambiance created by emerging young talent to evolving injury reports and opportunities on a weekly basis, the first half of the season has been one to remember. No, this is not me supporting the injury report shenanigans of the Indianapolis Colts from a week ago. What it is is me telling you that when buffoonery like that is taking place, it’s more important than ever to dot your I’d and cross your t’s when it comes to fantasy football start ’em, sit ’em decisions.

    As a reminder, players like Breece Hall, Saquon Barkley and Bijan Robinson will still be started in lineups weekly. It’s the RB2 and FLEX spots where things can get a bit trickier. To help you make some of these tough decisions, check out our weekly fantasy football rankings and continue reading for our Week 7 fantasy football start ’em, sit ’em analysis at RB.

    Fantasy Football Start ’em, Sit ’em: Week 7 RBs

    Start: Najee Harris Fantasy Outlook vs. Jets

    Expert Consensus Ranking (ECR) Rank: 24

    Remember last season when Najee Harris was working in a full-blown timeshare with Jaylen Warren? A timeshare that relegated him to being a major fantasy football disappointment? Yeah, me neither. Although Harris has only one game this season where he played more than 70% of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ offensive snaps, he has clearly been the team’s go-to option out of the backfield. The fact that Warren has been battling injuries has been an enabling factor, but Harris’ play has also been solid.

    Through six weeks, Harris has not fewer than 13 carries in any game. Last week saw him post his best stat line of the season with 106 yards rushing and his first touchdown of the campaign on 14 carries. Harris has also caught multiple receptions in four straight games, including last week with Warren back in the lineup, thus further legitimizing his value in PPR formats.

    In Week 7, the Steelers are expected to make a QB change to Russell Wilson. While this probably won’t cause Harris’ role or value to fluctuate, a matchup against a New York Jets defense that has been sneaky dreadful when it comes to stopping the run elevates him firmly into RB2 territory.

    Start: Chase Brown Fantasy Outlook vs. Browns

    ECR Rank: 20

    For the second week in a row, Chase Brown lands on the friendly side of our RB fantasy football start ’em, sit ’em column. Last week, we discussed how the second-year back appeared to be taking command of the Cincinnati Bengals’ backfield from veteran Zack Moss. That played out on the field in Week 6. For the first time all season, Brown played over 50% of the Bengals’ offensive snaps while Moss came in at only 45%. He was once again far more efficient with his opportunities.

    Until further notice, Brown can be considered an RB2 candidate on a weekly basis. The fact that he has taken over the top spot in the Cincy backfield largely makes him matchup-proof when it comes to this sentiment. Since Week 4 when he garnered double-digit carries for the first time this season, Brown has averaged over five yards per carry twice and has found the end zone three times. He also has corralled multiple receptions in all but one game to date.

    In Week 7, Brown and the Bengals will battle the in-state rival Cleveland Browns. With all of Cleveland’s dysfunction on offense, some may be overlooking the fact that the defense has also taken a step back. The Browns rank 21st in rushing yards allowed per game and have given up six scores on the ground. Brown singular has a great chance to get the better of Browns plural in this matchup.

    Sit: Tank Bigsby Fantasy Outlook vs. Patriots

    ECR Rank: 22

    The Jacksonville Jaguars are a pretty stinky situation all around so far this season. In fact, Tank Bigsby has been one of the lone bright spots. As far as fantasy football is concerned, the second-year pro really burst onto the scene two weeks ago when he rushed for over 100 yards and a pair of touchdowns on 13 carries. That effort coupled with the fact that Travis Etienne is dealing with a hamstring injury has resulted in Bigsby being ranked as an RB2 ahead of Week 7.

    https://twitter.com/KyleYNFL/status/1846654694233723106

    On paper, it’s a great spot for Bigsby to have another big game. The Jags will once again be playing in London, this time against a poor New England Patriots defense. That said, are we sure we can fully trust a back that has no more than 13 carries and has played no higher than 40% of his team’s offensive snaps in a game this season?

    Even if Etienne misses, Bigsby will still be splitting work with D’Ernest Johnson, and presumably giving way in most passing situations. Bigsby should have a fine overall game, but ranking him as an RB2 seems a bit overzealous for my taste.

    Sit: Tyrone Tracy Jr. and Devin Singletary Fantasy Outlook vs. Eagles

    ECR Rank: 27 and 36

    Per Wednesday’s practice report, Devin Singletary picked up right where he left off before missing each of the last two games as a limited participant in New York Giants practice. All rookie Tyrone Tracy Jr. has done in his absence is lead the entire NFL in rushing yards two weeks ago and score his first career touchdown in primetime this past Sunday. If Singletary misses a third consecutive game, Tracy’s outlook gets a boost. However, what happens if both players suit up?

    Given how well Tracy has performed in Singletary’s absence, it’s tough to decipher just how the Giants’ backfield touches will be distributed upon the latter’s return. Singletary started the year off as an RB that was viewed as having a stable floor thanks to high usage. Now, Tracy may have earned himself a weekly role in the offense.

    Of course, the other problem that affects the fantasy football start ’em, sit ’em outlook of both players is how bad the Giants’ offensive line is. This was a bad O-line even before tackle Andrew Thomas was lost to a season-ending injury this week. The matchup against what appears to be a steadily improving Philadelphia Eagles defense under coordinator Vic Fangio doesn’t inspire a ton of confidence either.

    Henry’s passion for sports dates all the way back to childhood and has ultimately led to a full-fledged career as an analyst and content creator. After getting his start penning fantasy football articles, he forrayed into the betting side of the business in early 2019. His love for sports and statistics proved to be an ideal match with the dedicated research and strategy that handicapping requires. Henry currently specializes in betting analysis and picks for college football, college basketball and NASCAR. He counts the NFL, the WNBA, and NBA player props as additional leagues/markets of interest. Henry graduated from SUNY Buffalo in 2021 with a Communication Studies degree and a Psychology minor. A native of the Finger Lakes region in Upstate New York, he and his pup, Harold, have since relocated to Laramie, Wyoming. Thanks to his professional goals within the sports betting industry, there has been a whole lot of steam on the odds for a move to Las Vegas in 2023! Most of Henry’s free time is spent on outdoor adventures, playing chess, snowboarding, or reading a good book. He is also a competitive powerlifter and aspires to qualify for the USAPL Nationals meet within the next 2-3 years.
