Week 7 Fantasy Football Sneaky Starts & Sleepers


All but the luckiest fantasy owners at some point need to find the proverbial diamond in the rough—a waiver wire or bench player capable of putting up some points in a pinch. This weekly feature is dedicated to that part of fantasy football. It's not pretty, but it's part of the game.

Last week’s Sneaky Starts featured Caleb Williams (QB1), Jared Goff (QB4), Chase Brown (RB19), J.K. Dobbins (RB12), Najee Harris (RB10), Tyrone Tracy (RB7), Tank Dell (WR17), Cole Kmet (TE1), Cade Otton (TE12), and Zach Ertz (TE10).
