Bye weeks are hitting the NFL hard in Week 7. With the Bills, Cowboys, Vikings, Steelers, Chargers, and Jaguars on a bye this week, we find ourselves missing a plethora of high-profile fantasy players, making this a very interesting slate. Like last week, it is looking thin at first glance. Similar to last week, though, we are going to see some good plays at running back in the $6K range. We also must decide whether to play Derrick Henry ($9200). Henry is by far the most expensive RB on DraftKings, so he will be a major decision point on this slate.
As always in this space, I will recommend the stacks I like the best and what constructions make the most sense. I put most of my money each week into very small field tournaments (300 people or less). I prefer these types of contests because it is not necessary to get all parts of the lineup right. In these small fields, you may only need to get one or two things right to give yourself a chance to get to the top. Last week, the Dak Prescott-CeeDee Lamb stack was a big edge in small-field stuff because the Lamar Jackson chalk failed in the early window.
