Week 7 QB Streaming Options

While not in the upper range of our fantasy football rankings, these quarterbacks could be intriguing streaming options in Week 7 as they likely outperform the expectations of many. Let’s begin with Justin Fields, who is set to face off against the New England Patriots.

Justin Fields, Chicago Bears

I’d love nothing more than for Justin Fields never to be a streaming option but a locked-in, if you got him, starting option for fantasy. But we aren’t there yet, and I am not sure we will be anytime soon. With that said, the hype train is moving in the right direction.

On Sunday, Fields showed once again why you can’t outright fade the Konami Code when it comes to fantasy quarterbacks. He rushed for a season-high 88 yards on 12 attempts against the Commanders, which is the equivalent of over two passing touchdowns.

Sure, he only had 190 yards and a TD of 27 passing but believe it or not, Fields is ninth in fantasy points per dropback in 2022.

He scored 17+ PPR in back-to-back weeks while averaging 62 rushing yards a game. Fields did aggravate his shoulder in the game, but he has the losest rest time possible (outside of bye weeks) going from a TNF game to an MNF game in Week 7 against the New England Patriots.

While he’s not the safest option, with four QBs who would normally be inside the top-12 of fantasy QB rankings on a bye, Fields is a streaming option worth taking a second look at in Week 7.

Daniel Jones, New York Giants

I don’t know about you, but I didn’t have the Giants sitting at 5-1 through six weeks on my pre-season bingo card, but here we are. It hasn’t been flashy, but Daniel Jones has been good enough to be effective. He displayed this once again vs. the Baltimore Ravens in Week 6, completing 19 of his 27 pass attempts for 173 yards and two touchdowns.

Here’s a fun stat that will make your head spin — Jones is third in the NFL in expected completion differential at +2.6 xCOMP%. That’s impressive when you consider how awful the injury problems have hit the Giants this year.

Although he has only cracked 17+ points in two games, the matchup against the Jaguars is in the middle of the road, sitting 15th in points allowed (15.97). While not to the same extent as Fields or other dual-threat QBs, what aids Jones is his rushing upside, with a 47.5 rushing-yard average in his last four.

That’s even including his six yards on Sunday into the equation. Although he’s more like Danny Two-Nickles than Danny Dimes, he’s worth considering as a Week 7 streamer for fantasy football.

Geno Smith, Seattle Seahawks

I’m not going to lie, Geno Smith and the Seahawks let me down. Taking on the Cardinals, Smith completed 20 of 31 passes for 197 yards in Week 6, which tied his lowest yardage total since Week 2 against San Francisco.

Still, I can’t help but be impressed with how Smith is playing. This is the best we have seen from him since he was at West Virginia. His 12.6 PPR snapped a three-week streak of 20 or more PPR points and games with multiple touchdowns.

Still, Smith is the QB6 (22.1) since Week 3 and sits No. 1 in the NFL in xCOMP at +7.7% and is No. 4 in EPA+CPOE (expected points added + completion percentage over expectation).

However you want to dice it up, Smith is actually cooking, unlike the QB they shipped off to Denver. He’s not just a Week 7 QB streamer, he’s a top-10 option this week in rankings.

Trevor Lawrence, Jacksonville Jaguars

Despite the last-second loss, Trevor Lawrence was nearly perfect against the Indianapolis Colts. The second-year QB out of Clemson completed 20-of-22 passes for 165 yards with one touchdown and zero interceptions while also rushing six times for an additional 23 yards and two rushing touchdowns.

His 24.8 PPR placed him just behind Josh Allen for the fourth-highest scoring QB of Week 6.

This was Lawrence’s third time this season finishing inside the top 12 and second time inside the top five, which is a massive improvement from what we saw last year. In fairness, this is a de-facto rookie year after last season’s debacle.

Lawrence heads into Week 7 as the QB10 overall and 14th in per game scoring at 17.0 PPR. The matchup against the red-hot Giants is not the easiest, but Lawrence is certainly with consideration as a Week 7 QB streamer who flirts on the verge of the top-12 in rankings thanks to bye weeks.
