With the Baltimore Ravens and Buffalo Bills on bye, Week 7 isn't the biggest hit for wide receiver absences, so the focus could turn to the shuffling that's gone on among the top options.
George Pickens has become a fantasy football star while CeeDee Lamb (ankle) is sidelined -- but would that continue if Lamb returns?
managers have welcomed Pickens into a revamped circle of trust that includes many newish names, or players who were hanging merely just outside the periphery.
Injuries to many teams' alphas also give boosts to talented names behind them.
Which wideouts should you start this weekend? Any WRs available as waiver pickups to help you?

Who are the top-ranked fantasy WRs for Week 7?
The Dallas Cowboys may get CeeDee Lamb (ankle) back in Week 7, but if not, George Pickens will occupy the apex of these rankings, given the ultra-favorable matchup with the rival Washington Commanders, who have allowed 33.7 PPR points pre game to wideouts this season.
Drake London's massive Week 6 (10 catches, 158 yards, 1 TD on 16 targets) recirculates him into the top tiers, in fact this week in Tier 1 due to a matchup with the San Francisco 49ers' secondary that let the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' backups pepper them through the air.
Jaxon Smith-Njigba rounds out Tier 1 as an every-week starter against the Houston Texans, who have great cornerbacks but still will struggle to keep up with the Seahawks' underappreciated aerial game.
Now let's consider other strong WR1/WR2 types: Injuries to their teams' respective WR1s push the Los Angeles Rams' Davante Adams and Los Angeles Chargers' Ladd McConkey up the ladder to high-end WR2s or borderline ones.
Which Week 7 fantasy sleeper wide receivers should I target?
Not necessarily a sleeper, but Rashee Rice returns from suspension and should be in all lineups as the Kansas City Chiefs take on the lowly Las Vegas Raiders secondary.
If Terry McLaurin can't return to the Commanders, Luke McCaffrey once again could flash big-play and red-zone utility.
Need to go deeper? The Texans' Jayden Higgins should be more frequently incorporated into the gameplan coming out of the bye, a window when many rookies have "a-ha" moments.
