Every period contends the very least one bye week from heck for a certain position. It looks this is that week for running backs. Najee Harris, Dalvin Cook, Austin Ekeler, Ezekiel Elliott, James Robinson, as well as Zack Moss are all out, leaving numerous holes in lineups for many fantasy football proprietors. It's time to dig deep at this essential position, and our Week 7 RB PPR positions can help you find feasible replacements.

Heading into last week, the Bucs, Jets, Bengals, and Cowboys were all quiting over seven receptions per game to RBs. Is that an item of matches(i.e. playing groups with top getting backs)or is

that an item of bad pass defense versus running backs? It's constantly challenging to claim-- and when it comes to the Bucs, it might have more to do with garbage-time production than anything-- yet it's still something to note for PPR purposes. The Seahawks, Dolphins, Packers, and also Falcons were all averaging greater than six RB receptions allowed per video game. WEEK 7 REQUIREMENT RANKINGS:|||||Today, the Bears(@ Buccaneers), Patriots (vs. Jets), Ravens (vs. Bengals ), Saints (@ Seahawks), Falcons(vs. Dolphins ), Washington(@ Packers), and also Dolphins( @ Falcons)are encountering those defenses, so borderline backs like Damien

Williams, Rhamondre Stevenson, Cordarrelle Patterson and Mike Davis, J.D. McKissic

, and also Myles Gaskin have even more PPR worth than typical.< p course=" advertisement ad-top-mpu alt-font gpt-target"data-role= "ad" data-label ="Ad"data-settings=" Top _ MPU","name":"ad-top-mpu","placementName": "Top_MPU", "alias":"mobileTopMpu", "isOutOfPage": incorrect,"placementSizes": ["1x1", "300x250"], "sizeMap": , "tag": "Promotion", "forceLoad": incorrect"data-slot-id="/ 22299846845/SportingNews/SportingNews _ Web/Articles/Top _ MPU"id =" ad-mobileTopMpu1 "> WEEK 7 PPR POSITIONS:|||| Obviously, an additional function or 2 isn't adequate to make a running back a leading play. Rushing backyards and touchdowns are still important, and also men like Damien Harris (vs. Jets), Miles Sanders(@ Raiders ), as well as James Conner/Chase Edmonds(vs. Texans), who are typically on the start-sit bubble, look like must-starts this week. Edmonds always has more PPR allure while the other three are normally devalued a fair bit in point-per-reception layouts.

Nevertheless, with many top backs on bye or injured today, beggars can not be choosers. Similarly, high-volume RBs in difficult competitions, such as Devontae Booker(vs. Panthers), Elijah Mitchell (vs. Colts), Mark Ingram (@ Cardinals), Michael Carter (@ Patriots), and also Melvin Gordon/Javonte Williams (@ Browns), are all tough to rest, also in PPR. Ingram has the least value, yet he's always a prospect for 15-plus touches and also a brief TD. That's worth something, though this could be the week that a four-catch RB has a greater flooring. It's also worth noting that JaMycal Hasty (ankle joint) as well as Jeff Wilson Jr. (knee) are eligible to return this week, so they might really consume right into Mitchell's value (as well as have a few of their own).

Inevitably, there aren't easy solutions right here, and also there are also less rewarding sleepers than common in PPR styles. This is among those weeks where you do your best as well as just take what you can get. If points are actually rough, consider making a trade, yet if you can deal with a potentially low-scoring week at RB, then rake ahead as well as wish for a TD or a lot of short catches.

Note: We'll be updating these RB PPR positions throughout the week, so examine back for analysis as well as the most up to date player movement.
