Should I Start Rachaad White for Fantasy Football?

Though five games, White has rushed 70 times for 232 yards and one touchdown and caught 16 passes for 98 yards. He has only finished as a weekly RB1 once and has finished outside the top 35 weekly running backs on three occasions (half-PPR).

However, he has yet to see fewer than 70% of the Buccaneers' offensive snaps in a game. Given the injury woes and lack of bell-cow running backs in today's NFL, he remains on the fantasy radar.

In Week 7, he'll face the Atlanta Falcons, who have surrendered the fourth-fewest fantasy points per game to running backs this season. White has a low floor, but fantasy managers might be forced to start him given the scarcity of the position for fantasy football.

He is the RB22 in our half-PPR consensus staff rankings.

Should I Start Jordan Addison for Fantasy Football?

After Justin Jefferson (hamstring) was placed on Injured Reserve, Addison became a hot name in fantasy football. He is expected to become the WR1 in Kirk Cousins' offense during Jefferson's absence, so that could yield plenty of fantasy points.

In his first game without Jefferson, Addison caught three passes on five targets for 35 yards and a touchdown. The touchdown saved his fantasy performance, but it was ultimately a disappointing overall effort in a favorable matchup with the Chicago Bears.

This week, he'll face the San Francisco 49ers, who have been a mid-level defense against fantasy wideouts. However, the Vikings' offensive line will likely be pushed around in this contest, making Cousins' night miserable. Still, the rookie wideout from USC has upside and looks to be a solid flex option in Week 7.

He is the WR30 in our half-PPR consensus staff rankings.

Should I Start Tyler Lockett for Fantasy Football?

Geno Smith has not looked as good as he did last year, and Tyler Lockett has posted three weekly finishes outside the top 40 wide receivers. However, he had a nice performance last week, posting 94 receiving yards.

The veteran still has a spike week upside and will face a favorable matchup against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 7. The Cardinals have allowed the seventh-most fantasy points per game to wideouts this season, so make sure to lock in Lockett in your lineups.

He is the WR19 in our half-PPR consensus staff rankings.
