Week 7 DraftKings Daily Fantasy Football Picks, Lineup Tips for Sunday

Daily fantasy football players at DraftKings have a few games circled each week that have lopsided matchups.

The Washington Commanders' home contest with the Carolina Panthers should be one of the matchups circled in Sharpie ten times over.

Washington has one of the hottest offenses in the NFL going into Week 7 and Carolina is clearly one of the five worst teams in the league.

However, with that matchup should come a high roster percentage for Jayden Daniels and his top targets.

Washington lineup stacks will be popular across Week 7 DFS contests, and if you love that matchup a lot, filling out the rest of your roster with sleeper picks will be the way to go to differentiate your lineup in all contests.

Sometimes the most obvious play is the right one.

In Week 7, that move is to load up on Washington players for their home contest with the Panthers.

Carolina hasn't done anything good of note on the defensive side of the ball and conceded 30-plus points in three straight weeks.

Jayden Daniels will be one of the most popular starting quarterbacks on Sunday's DFS slate, and if you roster him, plenty of teammates should join him in lineups.

Terry McLaurin and Brian Robinson are easy targets for DFS players, but there also some sleeper picks on the Washington squad.

Austin Ekeler is third on the Commanders roster in receiving yards and Zach Ertz is coming off his best performance of the season.

Ekeler ($5,900) and Ertz ($3,900) have reasonable values on DraftKings. You can use them to partner Daniels, who has the highest salary attached to him of any quarterback on the Week 7 slate.

A combination of Daniels, Ekeler, McLaurin and Ertz would allow you to still have enough salary cap room to add top-tier pieces around them for a well-rounded Week 7 squad.

Look to Miami as Sleeper Team

The Miami Dolphins may be ignored by some DFS players until Tua Tagovailoa comes back, but there is potential for them to be the Week 7 surprise team.

On paper, the Dolphins offense has a terrific matchup against the Indianapolis Colts, who sit in the top five in yards allowed.

The Colts allowed over 380 total yards to five of their six opponents, so in theory, if Tyler Huntley is competent in the pocket, the Dolphins have a chance to put up a ton of points.

Miami had the bye week to sort things out on offense, and with Tagovailoa's return on the horizon, the team could rally around Huntley to pick up a win and generate some much-needed momentum.

At a $5,100 salary, Huntley is one of the cheapest quarterbacks you can roster in Week 7 and Tyreek Hill is a bit discounted at $7,300.

Hill and Jaylen Waddle will be at the lowest roster salaries you'll see them at all season, and it may be worth taking advantage of them and tight end Jonnu Smith at $3,400 for a value play roster stack.

Build Around Atlanta's Running Backs

Bijan Robinson and Tyler Allgeier have one of the most favorable matchups among running backs in Week 7.

The Atlanta Falcons duo is facing a Seattle Seahawks unit that was gashed for 228 rushing yards by the San Francisco 49ers in Week 6.

Seattle also allowed over 175 rushing yards to the New York Giants and New England Patriots.

Atlanta is coming off its best rushing Sunday of the season against Carolina's subpar defense.

Not only does the matchup with Seattle suit Robinson and Allgeier, but there is a ton of momentum inside the Atlanta offense as well.

Robinson ($7,100 salary) will be one of the most rostered running backs in Week 7, but Allgeier carries value at $5,100 and is a great player to fill rosters with top-tier stars at other positions.
