Fantasy football start/sit sleepers, Week 7: Wide Receivers

If you’re struggling to find a receiver to replace your injured one, our Week 7 sleepers should be picked off the waiver wire and thrown into your lineup immediately.

Brad Barr-USA TODAY Sports

Last week, our Week 6 Sleepers suggested Andre Holmes who, as you know, broke out in a big way. And this week, with Jeremy Maclin and Vincent Jackson on bye, we're hoping the following group of names produce in the same way. If anything, they're sure to see a high volume of targets, which is all you could really hope for in Week 7.

Andre Holmes - Though he's no longer completely off the radar, the Week 7 matchup for Holmes is just too good for him not to be universally started. Since Week 3, the Arizona Cardinals have allowed the number one and two opposing receivers to catch for either 100 yards or eight receptions. With Oakland Raiders quarterback Derek Carr favoring Holmes, look for him to sneak his way into the top 15 plays of Week 7.

Cecil Shorts - Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles finally had an opportunity to play with his entire receiving corps last week and he made the most of it by targeting Shorts a whopping 16 times. Even in complete domination of the Pittsburgh Steelers during Week 6, the Cleveland Browns allowed the opposing number one receiver to catch for over 100 yards for the fifth time this year (Justin Hunter caught for 99 the week prior.) Someone is going to produce WR1 numbers for the Jags, and I fully expect it to be Shorts. Start him with confidence in your lineups and daily leagues.

Davante Adams - When discussing Green Bay Packers wide receivers, most immediately turn to Jordy Nelson or Randall Cobb. And though Nelson has been as advertised, I still consider Cobb touchdown-dependent. Cobb, for instance, is currently averaging one touchdown for every four receptions. That's highly unsustainable and I fully expect Adams to break out soon. Receiving a season-high number of snaps last week, look for Adams to make himself known against the Carolina Panthers secondary.
