Week 7 Fantasy Football Rankings
Dynasty-first Week 7 fantasy football rankings for QB, RB, WR and TE, built from our weekly projections, plus the injuries that could move them.
By Derek Sallis · October 22, 2026
Week 7 board, published Thursday, October 22. Statuses changed before kickoff. The current board is always at fantasy football rankings.
Quick answer: Jahmyr Gibbs is the top player of Week 7 at 26.4 half-PPR points. Joe Burrow is next at 24.1 and leads the quarterbacks coming off a bye. Puka Nacua leads the receivers with Davante Adams out.
These rankings come from our Week 7 projections, which blend each player's season baseline with his last three games and the opponent. Buffalo, Jacksonville, the Chargers and Washington are on bye, so none of their players appear. For a personal lineup call, run your roster through the Dynasty Start/Sit tool. Game notes are in the Week 7 matchups preview.

What stands out
Tight end is thin this week. Tyler Warren is questionable at 9.1, and only seven tight ends project above ten points.
Detroit at Green Bay still has the most points on the board. Gibbs is first overall and Goff is fifth. Love dropped to seventh at 19.6 because he is questionable. LaPorta and Kraft are still top-five tight ends.
Baker Mayfield is just off the quarterback table at 16.8 after a full Wednesday practice. He is questionable. Jalon Daniels is the next man on the depth chart if Mayfield sits. Easton Stick projects at 1.4 and is not the starter in this board.
Injury watch
These are Thursday morning readings. The Patriots-Bears inactive list is not posted yet. Friday's report is the last word for Sunday.
- Lamar Jackson (ankle): questionable, limited Wednesday. He projects at 16.0, so he is off the top 12. Huntley is at 6.4 until Jackson is ruled out.
- Baker Mayfield (thumb): questionable after a full Wednesday practice, at 16.8. Daniels starts only if Mayfield cannot go.
- A.J. Brown: not on Thursday's injury report, and he projects at 9.0, which is why he is off the receiver table. Romeo Doubs is on injured reserve.
- Breece Hall (quadriceps): questionable at 11.3. He will not practice Wednesday and has not been ruled out. Braelon Allen projects at 6.5.
- Out for Week 7: Davante Adams, Jalen Hurts, Jayden Reed, Michael Pittman, Travis Etienne and De'Von Achane. Saquon Barkley (11.4), Rashee Rice (11.5), Quinshon Judkins (10.3) and Mike Evans (10.0) are questionable, not out.
