Justin Boone gives Week 7 fantasy football start and sit recommendations

Fantasy analyst Justin Boone released his Week 7 start-sit guide, highlighting several quarterbacks, running backs, wide receivers and tight ends he expects to perform well and others he recommends benching.

Boone suggests starting Packers quarterback Jordan Love against the Lions, noting his three fantasy QB1 finishes this season and a strong historical performance versus Detroit. He also recommends C.J. Stroud versus the Giants and Kyler Murray versus the Colts, citing recent high-scoring outings and favorable matchups.

Running back Woody Marks of the Texans is listed as a start against the Giants, with Boone pointing to his recent increase in snap counts and consistent yardage, while also noting the Giants’ permissive defense to running backs. Additional RB starts include Ollie Gordon II for the Jets, J.K. Dobbins for the Cardinals and Jordan Mason for the Vikings.

At wide receiver, Boone highlights Jameson Williams of the Lions against the Packers, referencing his recent high-volume games and the projected high-scoring nature of the matchup. He also lists Germie Bernard, Jalen Coker, and Carnell Tate as viable starts based on recent target volume and production.

For tight ends, Boone recommends Tyler Higbee of the Rams against the Raiders, noting his recent steady production and the Raiders’ tendency to allow points to the position. He adds T.J. Hockenson and Kyle Pitts as potential starters.

Among the players Boone advises to sit are Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, who has struggled in recent weeks and faces a strong Seattle defense, and running backs Zach Charbonnet, Alvin Kamara and others with limited recent production or difficult matchups. Wide receivers Michael Wilson, Xavier Worthy and Tre Tucker are also listed as bench options due to low target counts or tough defensive opponents. Tight end Jake Ferguson is another sit recommendation after a recent decline in scoring.

"Love has finished as a fantasy QB1 three times already this season, including each of his past two outings," Boone said. "Woody Marks has topped 80 scrimmage yards in each of the past two games while handling over 77% of the snaps," Boone added. "Jameson Williams is a boom-or-bust fantasy WR3 who was heating up before the bye," Boone noted, referencing the player’s recent performances.

Boone’s advice reflects recent statistical trends, opponent defensive rankings and injury updates as he helps fantasy managers shape their Week 7 lineups.
