Fantasy Football Week 7 Start/Sit: Matchups to Target and Avoid

Club Fantasy’s Weekly Fantasy Football Matchup Report is here to help you set winning lineups. Unlike season-long fantasy points allowed rankings, our report focuses on the last four weeks, giving you a better look at how defenses are performing right now. Each week, we highlight the ten defenses allowing the most points to QBs, RBs, WRs, and TEs, along with the five toughest matchups. Use this recent data to guide your start/sit decisions or build a DFS lineup that can win the slate. Here are the matchups to target and avoid for NFL Week 7.
