Fantasy football rankings Week 7: PPR rankings for every position

Posted by Admin October 16, 2024 Football

Two big trades went down this week, with the New York Jets and Buffalo Bills making significant additions to their receiving corps. However, it’s uncertain whether either one will make any kind of contribution to their new teams with only a limited amount of practice time.

Meanwhile, health questions for many key players are likely to persist right up until kickoff this week. So keep checking back here as we update who’s in and who’s out.

ON BYE IN WEEK 7: Chicago, Dallas

Fantasy football rankings for Week 7 are based on the point-per-reception (PPR) scoring used in most seasonal and daily fantasy football formats. One point is awarded for every 10 rushing and receiving yards and one point for every 20 passing yards. Six points are awarded for touchdowns scored, four points for passing TDs and one point for receptions.

Rankings are compiled by Daniel Dobish, TheHuddle.com.
