With six teams idle, Week 7 is tied for the busiest week of the entire NFL season in terms of byes, and that makes for a challenging environment in fantasy football.
Most fantasy managers are likely already dealing with injuries to key players, and fantasy-relevant teams like the Cincinnati Bengals and Dallas Cowboys being on the bye doesn't help the already-existing depth issues.
Week 7 also represents the midway point of the regular season in many fantasy leagues, meaning and haves and have-nots are starting to separate themselves.
All of that is to say that a win or loss in Week 7 could be a make-or-break scenario for many fantasy managers, which makes setting the best possible lineup crucial.
