Welcome to Week 7 of the fantasy football season. With several weeks of data available, we can officially make more educated start/sit and roster decisions. Make sure to pay attention to bye weeks and injuries and how to set lineups to cover your risk and maximize your best players.
Every league is different, especially in the IDP world. These rankings are based on fantasy scoring to help adjust to your league while acknowledging that there will be some variations across different platforms. If you have any questions, make sure to join our free PFN Fantasy Discord and let us know!

Best IDP Players To Start in Week 7
Nick Bosa, DE, San Francisco 49ers
After a slow ramp-up, while returning from missing most of training camp, Bosa is fully back. He approached 90% of snaps in Week 6 at Cleveland and likely will Monday night in Minnesota.
MORE: Fantasy News Tracker
Bosa has produced at least a half-sack in three of his last four games, and the big blowup game is coming. It would not be a shock if he does that this week.
Dorian Williams, LB, Buffalo Bills
Dorian Williams was highlighted in the waiver column off his high snap rate, but expert consensus rankings still have him criminally underrated as 96 overall and LB47. Fresh off a 10-tackle starting debut, he’s a top-36 overall IDP play for me and a borderline top-24 LB. He’s a must-start in most leagues, especially with six teams on bye this week.
