FanDuel Daily Fantasy projections, Week 7: Wide receivers
DeAndre Hopkins has arrived and he’s done it with some of the worst quarterback play around. Who else should fantasy owners look to this week?

If you’re in the daily fantasy sports (DFS) game, you need as many tools as possible to help set your lineup. Sure, there are some things you’ll disagree with, but not acknowledging stats or information is usually a mistake. FanDuel has acquired NumberFire to help on some projections for NFL players for each week to give you another tool to help.
Here are the fantasy projections for Week 7:
Top tier
DeAndre Hopkins is on fire and he should be able to keep it going this week against the Miami Dolphins. He is the most expensive guy, but expect the Texans to count on him a lot against a week secondary. Odell Beckham at $9,000 and Julio Jones at $9,100 come in at No. 2 and 3 and are both the second and third most-expensive players.
Bargains
If Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger is a go, Antonio Brown makes a lot of sense with his discounted price. He was not good while Big Ben was out, so he makes sense as a nice GPP play for his high upside. If you're looking to go cheap, Buffalo Bills receiver Robert Woods could have a big game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Another cheap option? Stefon Diggs could be a nice GPP play.
Elite players with sub-par matchups
The top-end guys are sitting at the top, so there really aren't any here. Calvin Johnson is probably the one hands-off guy after a big Week 6.
