As the 2025 NFL season charges into Week 7, fantasy football managers are facing another round of lineup chaos. With key receivers sidelined by injuries and a couple of star pass-catchers on bye, every roster decision matters. Between Amon-Ra St. Brown’s steady dominance, Ja’Marr Chase’s resurgence, and Davante Adams’ redemption arc, this week’s wide receiver rankings highlight who you can trust and who could swing your matchup.
Welcome to Week 7! With the Baltimore Ravens and Buffalo Bills on bye, fantasy football managers will have to make do without Zay Flowers and Khalil Shakir. These are two receivers who’ve quietly provided steady production. Adding to the intrigue, the Los Angeles Rams face the Jacksonville Jaguars in London. This makes lineup timing and roster decisions even trickier.
Week 7 brings both opportunity and volatility to the wide receiver position. As injuries shake up depth charts and defensive matchups tighten, the hierarchy at the position is evolving fast. Established studs like St. Brown, Chase, and Adams headline the rankings. Of course, new names are also emerging to fill the void left by sidelined stars. Navigating this mix of consistency and chaos will be the key to fantasy success.
Here we will look at our NFL Fantasy Football Wide Receiver Rankings entering Week 7 of the 2025 regular season.
For the first time in several weeks, the WR1 spot doesn’t belong to Puka Nacua. With the Rams’ star sidelined by an ankle injury, St. Brown reclaims his place atop the rankings. The Lions’ offense has continued to evolve, and St. Brown remains its heartbeat. They are second in the league in receptions and tied for first in touchdown catches.
Although he had a quieter outing last week against Kansas City, this Week 7 matchup with Tampa Bay has all the makings of a shootout. The Buccaneers’ secondary ranks among the bottom 10 in fantasy football points allowed to wide receivers. Jared Goff has also leaned on St. Brown in every high-leverage moment. Pencil him in for double-digit targets, and expect WR1 production once again.
If there’s one thing defenders should’ve learned by now, it’s to never celebrate too early against Ja’Marr Chase. After a defender mocked him with a premature Griddy in Week 6, Chase responded with a highlight-reel one-handed touchdown. With Joe Flacco beginning to settle in under center, the Bengals’ passing game finally looks stable again.
Chase has historically torched the Steelers. He has averaged over 100 yards per game against them in his career. His chemistry with Flacco will only improve each week. As such, the Bengals will need his explosiveness in this Thursday night divisional showdown. It’s a risky start on a short week. That said, the ceiling is too high to ignore.
