Before you set your Fantasy Football Week 7 lineups or lock in your DFS picks for this weekend's games, you need to see what SportsLine's highly-rated expert Jacob Gibbs has to say.

Gibbs uses a data-driven approach that has helped him consistently provide accurate rankings at every position. He has proven to be one of the nation's most accurate Fantasy rankers in recent years -- posting the eighth-most accurate results over the past few seasons, according to Fantasy Pros. In 2023, Gibbs ranks 11th among nearly 200 rankers.

Now, Gibbs has projected every Fantasy-relevant player's stats for Week 7. One player Gibbs is especially high on: Chargers wide receiver Joshua Palmer.

Palmer and the Chargers find themselves in a projected Week 7 shootout against the Kansas City Chiefs, whose specific coverage tendencies line up quite well for Palmer. With Mike Williams sidelined, Palmer has stepped up while rookie Quentin Johnston has struggled; the former is going to be much needed if the Chargers are going to keep up with Kansas City in Week 7. Gibbs recommends starting Palmer over more proven veterans like Chris Godwin, Michael Pittman, and Jakobi Meyers.

Gibbs also is calling for a tight end you aren't even thinking about to finish in the top 15 at the position! This player could be the difference between winning BIG or going home with nothing.

So who are the best players to target at each position in Week 7? And which surprising TE is set to put up a monster point total? ... Join SportsLine here to see Jacob Gibbs' weekly Fantasy Football Rankings, all from one of the nation's most accurate experts!
