Sit/Start 2026 Week 7: Reviewing All Fantasy Relevant Players in Every Game

Sit or Start recommendations for EVERY fantasy-relevant player in Week 7 of the 2026 NFL season!

Game Info

 

Kickoff: Monday, October 26, 2026, 8:15 PM ET

Location: Lincoln Financial Field, Philadelphia, PA

Network: ABC

 

Dallas Cowboys

 

Quarterback

Dak Prescott: START, QB1

Dak Prescott has four interceptions to three touchdowns over his last three games, but nobody in the league drops back more. Philly has the second-lowest sack rate in the league and allows the most YAC per catch to wide receivers. That’s kind of a problem when you’re trying to tackle CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens.  Volume, a clean pocket, and a plethora of yards after the catch make Dak an easy QB1 this week.

 

Running Back

Javonte Williams: START, RB1
Tyler Goodson: SIT

Javonte Williams has 94% of Dallas’ carries inside the 5, tied for the second-most per game at 2.5. Williams has made the most of them, too, punching in five touchdowns over his last three games. Philly is a neutral matchup, but a goal-line monopoly plays in any scenario. He’s an RB1 in Week 7 and should get a ton of work in a game the Cowboys should win (no, this Giants fan isn’t just trying to go for the jinx).

 

Wide Receiver

Ceedee Lamb: START, WR1
George Pickens: START, WR2
Ryan Flournoy: FLEX, WR4

There are lineup decisions to make this week. CeeDee Lamb isn’t one of them. He’s Messages on your iPhone. Targets pile up like notifications, and the only thing capable of ruining the group chat is that one old guy who still refuses to give up his Android. George Pickens has 24 targets over his last two, averaging just under 17 points over his last three. The only thing missing is touchdowns. The Eagles give up the third-most points to receivers and are tied for the third-most touchdowns allowed to the position. This is a pretty good week for that to change for Pickens. Both guys are easy starts with a handful of teams on bye, and Ryan Flournoy falls into the “solid deep-league FLEX if you’re in a bind” category due to the more exploitable matchup.

 

Tight End

Jake Ferguson: SIT

Jake Ferguson was out-targeted by Brevyn Spann-Ford last week. The three touchdowns are doing a lot of heavy lifting for Ferguson’s fantasy value this year. And by a lot, I mean all of it. 

 

Defense/Special Teams

Dallas Cowboys: SIT

Dallas is tied for the fewest takeaways and the second-fewest sacks per game.

 

Philadelphia Eagles

 

Quarterback

Tanner McKee: SIT, QB2 (Startable in Superflex)

With Jalen Hurts done for the year, this is Tanner McKee‘s offense now (or eventually Joe Milton‘s?). He threw 45 times for 215 yards and a score in his first start. Dallas is a top-five fantasy matchup and has just one interception all season, so the setup is about as friendly as it gets. McKee is startable in Superflex, but Philly’s implied total of 20 keeps him out of 1QB lineups.

 

Running Back

Dameon Pierce: START, RB2
Saquon Barkley: SIT
Carson Steele: SIT

Dameon Pierce is dead last among qualified backs with 2.1 yards per carry, but he’s playing 86% of the snaps in Philly. Dallas allows the most rushing yards per game in the league, and volume against the softest run defense in football makes him a back-end RB2. Saquon Barkley has missed two straight games with a hamstring injury, so he’s a sit until we see him practice. If he suits up, he’s obviously a start, and Pierce heads back to the wire.

 

Wide Receiver

Devonta Smith: START, WR2
Dontayvion Wicks: FLEX, WR4
Makai Lemon: SIT

DeVonta Smith saw 14 targets in McKee’s first start, owns a third of Philly’s targets, and nearly half their air yards. Dallas allows the seventh-most points to receivers and the third-highest aDOT, which fits Smith perfectly. He’s a WR2 with WR1 upside in Week 7. Dontayvion Wicks has enough deep targets to be a FLEX dart throw, and Makai Lemon is a sit until further notice, likely 2027.

 

Tight End

Dallas Goedert: START, TE1

Dallas Goedert has 17 targets in two games since his return, and he’s tied for fifth among tight ends in first-read targets per game. Dallas allows an 84% catch rate to tight ends, second-highest in the league. With McKee under center, the easy completions should keep flowing his way.

 

Defense/Special Teams

Philadelphia Eagles: SIT

This defense is not good.
