Fantasy football listeners, the past few days heading into Week 7 have delivered plenty of news impacting rankings, injuries, and depth chart decisions. According to FantasyPros, Bijan Robinson of Atlanta remains the consensus top-ranked running back for flex formats, with Jonathan Taylor from Indianapolis and Christian McCaffrey out of San Francisco rounding out the top three. Jahmyr Gibbs and Amon-Ra St. Brown, both with Detroit, have surged, pushing to fourth and fifth in key expert rankings thanks to strong recent performances.

DraftSharks reports several key injuries shaking up lineups. Garrett Wilson from the Jets hyperextended his knee and is expected to miss anywhere between two and six games. While it’s not a season-ending injury, fantasy managers should consider this as a medium-term issue that will likely impact his value for the next couple months. Marvin Harrison Jr. of the Cardinals is undergoing concussion protocol, marking his third documented case. While Harrison did not miss time after a concussion last season, most players typically miss one game. The situation is fluid, so keeping an eye on official Cardinals updates is vital. Calvin Ridley of the Titans is dealing with a hamstring strain, an injury notorious for causing unpredictable absences. Early signs suggest a mild to medium grade, but as always with hamstrings, if symptoms linger, Ridley could be sidelined several weeks. Fantasy managers should be ready for updates from Tennessee before setting lineups. Two tight ends also join the injury list, with David Njoku of the Browns sustaining a knee hyperextension and Mike Gesicki of the Bengals suffering a pectoral injury. The timeline on Njoku is not fully clear, but Gesicki is expected to miss significant time, and if surgery is needed, it could be season-ending.

Pat Mayo’s Week 7 rankings update highlighted the injury impact. He points out Ricky Pearsall of the 49ers is sidelined with a knee injury, and Jauan Jennings plus Jordan Watkins, both with multiple issues, have also been inactive. In Tampa Bay, ESPN notes that Mike Evans has been limited by a hamstring injury, while Chris Godwin Jr. has a fibula concern. These developments have forced fantasy managers to dig deep for replacements. Emeka Egbuka of the Buccaneers, also slowed by a hamstring, rounds out a trio of injured pass catchers who are shaking up waiver wire priorities and bench stashes, with ESPN encouraging managers to keep a close eye on updates before kickoff.

Walter Football’s Week 7 show discussed the latest waiver wire value, where listeners are urged to consider Dallas Goddard, tight end for the Eagles, after a start to the season that finally mirrors his high preseason expectations. The panel also debated the relative rest-of-season value between Amon-Ra St. Brown and Justin Jefferson, noting both have endured suspensions and bye weeks, but St. Brown’s consistent focal role in Detroit’s offense keeps his upside high for PPR formats. Kyle Pitts has drawn interest, with Walter Football noting his historic dominance against Tampa in upcoming fantasy playoff rounds making him a sneaky target after his bye week.

With multiple running backs returning to health and new injury stashes in play, ESPN’s projections and expert mailbags have mentioned Cam Skattebo as an emerging lead back for the Giants after a three-touchdown explosion last week, making him a popular start in Week 7. Rookie and depth plays are also surfacing in fantasy circles as managers try to beat the waiver wire during the season’s most pivotal stretch.
