Sit/Start 2025 Week 7: Reviewing All Fantasy Relevant Players in Every Game

Sit or Start recommendations for EVERY fantasy-relevant player in Week 7 of the 2025 NFL season!

Game Info

 

Kickoff: Sunday, October 19, 2025, 8:20 PM ET

Location: Levi’s Stadium, Santa Clara, CA

Network: NBC

 

Atlanta Falcons

 

Quarterback

Michael Penix Jr.: SIT

Michael Penix led the Falcons to an upset win over the Bills on Monday Night Football, but he has just five total touchdowns and isn’t a viable fantasy start in any format against the 49ers.

 

Running Back

Bijan Robinson: START, THE RB1
Tyler Allgeier: FLEX, RB3

You don’t need me to tell you to start Bijan Robinson, but did you know he shares a birthplace (Tucson, AZ) with Olympic gold medal-winning gymnast Kerri Strug, famous for her heroic vault on an injured ankle?

 

Wide Receiver

Drake London: START, WR1
Darnell Mooney: SIT

You don’t need me to tell you to start Drake London, but did you know he is from the same area (Ventura County) as Danielle Fishel, who famously played Topanga on the iconic 90s show Boy Meets World?

 

Tight End

Kyle Pitts Sr.: START, TE1

Kyle Pitts has just two games over 10 points, but he’s averaging over five targets a game and has had at least four catches in every game before facing Buffalo. That’s enough to keep him a borderline TE1.

 

Defense/Special Teams

Atlanta Falcons: SIT

The Falcons defense isn’t in consideration for fantasy. 

 

San Francisco 49ers

 

Quarterback

Mac JonesSIT, QB2 (Startable in Superflex)
Brock Purdy: SIT, QB2 (Startable in Superflex)

Facing a Falcons defense that just shut down Josh Allen and is giving up the fifth fewest fantasy points to the position, no matter who starts for the 49ers in Week 7, they’re Superflex starts.

 

Running Back

Christian McCaffrey: START, RB1
Brian Robinson Jr.: SIT

You don’t need me to tell you to start Christian McCaffrey, but did you know he is from the same town (Highlands Ranch, CO) as Felicity and The Americans star Keri Russell?

 

Wide Receiver

Kendrick Bourne: START, WR3
Ricky Pearsall
Jauan Jennings: FLEX, WR4

Ricky Perasall still isn’t practicing and is likely out another week. But despite reportedly playing through five broken ribs, two sprained ankles, and a partridge in a pear tree, Jauan Jennings is expected to be active but is just a FLEX in a difficult matchup and banged up. Kendrick Bourne is the best start for the Niners, seeing 20 targets over the past two games and checks in as a WR3 despite facing the Falcons.

 

Tight End

George Kittle: START, TE1
Jake Tonges: SIT

George Kittle has a chance to return this week. If he’s back, he’s starting for your fantasy team. With or without Kittle, Jake Tonges isn’t.

 

Defense/Special Teams

San Francisco 49ers: SIT

The 49ers defense isn’t in consideration for fantasy.
