DraftKings Week 7 Sunday NFL Showdown Picks advice for Falco

Posted by seestyle on July 25th, 2022

Falcons vs. Rams should be one of the more fun shootouts we get all season, and although it will be hidden a bit in Week 7 with its 1 pmET kickoff, it should be a great game for fantasy football and NFL DFS players. We've put together a DraftKings Showdown lineup to try and win a single-game GPP tournament. Our Jacoby Ellsbury Jersey preseason darling, Calvin Ridley, has to be our captain here, and we're totally invested in the pa sing games. We're avoiding the running backs from both teams, so let's hope this game is as aerial as many expect.

Wide receivers and tight ends are certainly the fastest way to accumulate DK points, so Ridley, Brandin Cooks, Austin Hooper and Gerald Everett will be great po sibilities at Don Larsen Jersey a big Sunday afternoon. Pairing them with their QBs, Matt Ryan and Jared Goff, provides chunk points no matter the game flow of this one.

WEEK 7 NON-PPR RANKINGS: | | | | |

DraftKings Showdown Picks: Falcons vs. Rams

CAPTAIN (1.5x points, 1.5x price): WR Calvin Ridley, Falcons (,900)

The Falcons have had more than 300 pa sing yards Aaron Judge Jersey in every game this season, so we'll take the chance on boom-or-bust Ridley to get behind the Rams' defense. Julio Jones will be shadowed by Jalen Ramsey (if he plays), so Ridley should have some room to operate.

FLEX: QB Jared Goff, Rams (,600)

The Falcons have allowed the most fantasy points this season to quarterbacks, so even though Goff threw for 78 yards last week, I don't care. This game will be a shootout. I continue to mi spell Goff's name 'goof,' though, so that might not be a good sign.

WEEK 7 DFS LINEUPS: | | | ||

FLEX: QB Matt Ryan, Falcons (,400)

Like I said in Ridley's blurb, Ryan hasn't failed to throw for more than 300 yards this season. That shouldn't change against the Rams, so you can't really make Zach Britton Jersey this lineup without him, especially with an Atlanta Gerrit Cole Jersey WR as our captain.

FLEX: TE Austin Hooper, Falcons (,200)

The Rams have allowed the seventh-most receiving yards to TEs this season. Hooper has been as consistent as they come at tight end. We'll complete our Atlanta pa sing game stack with Hooper, who probably should be playing basketball but he'll do here.

WEEK 7 PPR RANKINGS: | |

FLEX: WR Brandin Cooks, Rams (,000)

Cooks is priced K le s than Robert Woods and .8K le s than Cooper Kupp. That seems like a huge drop-off for a guy who many ranked as Johnny Damon Jersey the top Rams' receiver heading into the season. We'll take advantage here.

FLEX: TE Gerald Everett, Rams (,600)

Everett paid off on Thursday night a few weeks ago, and after a quiet week, we'll bet on his ownership being depre sed. With the pa sing that's sure to happen in this one, we'll give Everett another shot to be our cheap gem.
