Of course, some depth is lost because of the absences of Dalvin Cook, Alexander Mattison, Jonathan Taylor, Mark Ingram, J.K. Dobbins, Gus Edwards, and Myles Gaskin, who will all be on bye in Week 7. Without those players, owners might have to make some riskier moves at RB2 or flex with a few committee backs.
WEEK 7 STANDARD RANKINGS:Quarterback | Running back | Wide receiver | Tight end | D/ST | Kicker
A couple of players who could be worth trusting are Antonio Gibson (vs. Cowboys) and D’Andre Swift (@ Falcons). Both rookies are going up against weaker defenses and are starting to earn more touches out of the backfield as receivers. Both appear to be RB2s in PPR formats and could solidify their roles if they continue to play well as the season goes along.
WEEK 7 PPR RANKINGS:Quarterback | Wide receiver | Tight end | D/ST | Kicker
Another potential PPR sleeper to target this week is Jamaal Williams. The Packers’ back is getting more touches than many expected heading into the year, and this week he’s facing a Texans run defense is allowing the most rushing yards per game. Williams could benefit from this even with limited carries. He catches a fair amount of passes, so don’t be afraid to trust him as a flex sleeper or DFS option.

Other PPR risers include Chase Edmonds (vs. Seahawks), James White (vs. 49ers), J.D. McKissic (vs. Cowboys), and Boston Scott (vs. Giants), all of whom have potential flex value in PPR leagues.
