Fantasy football managers are spoiled for choice when it comes to wide receivers in Week 7 and Davante Adams, Tyreek Hill and DK Metcalf are just three of the intriguing possibilities that one might consider. Each plays on a team that is looking to reach greater heights and all of them are the top offensive weapons for their franchises.
The Jets brought in Davante Adams in a trade from the Raiders this past week specifically to get back to winning ways. They are 2-4 for the season and have lost their last three games. He is familiar with Aaron Rodgers from their time in Green Bay together and New York fans and fantasy football owners will hope that they can recreate that magic.
The Dolphins are just above the Jets in the AFC East with a 2-3 record. They are coming off of a bye week and won their last game in Week 5 against the Patriots. The bad news is that they have only defeated New England and Jacksonville in 2024, two consensus-worst teams in the league. Tyreek Hill will need to have a big game to jumpstart their season.
The Seahawks also need inspiration and fans will hope DK Metcalf is the one to deliver for them. Seattle began brightly this year and was undefeated after the third gameweek. Since then they have lost three straight games and need a morale-boosting victory in Week 7 to return to a winning record.

Is Davante Adams a good pick in Week 7?
Davante Adams is a wildcard in Week 7. This is his first game with the Jets, who themselves have an interim head coach. They will be hoping that his familiarity with Aaron Rodgers will make this a seamless transition. He has also not played since September as he was battling a hamstring injury but looks ready to go against the Steelers on Sunday.
When he is fit, he is still one of the best receivers in the business. He had 209 yards in 18 receptions before he was sidelined. That is an average of 11.6 yards per catch and he will now be playing with a much better quarterback than he ever had in Las Vegas.
Is Tyreek Hill a good pick in Week 7?
Highlighting how important a quarterback is for a wide receiver, Tua Tagovailoa's absence has slowed Miami's offense down in the past few weeks and Tyreek Hill has also suffered as a result. The speedy wide receiver has not had a 100-yard game since Week 1 against the Jaguars.
Overall, he has 286 yards in 23 receptions, averaging a solid 12.4 yards per catch. What should worry fantasy football managers is that the Dolphins' backup quarterbacks have failed to get the ball to him as much as they and Mike McDaniel would have wanted.
Is DK Metcalf a good pick in Week 7?
DK Metcalf started the season strongly but has tailed off in the last few games, mirroring the form that the Seahawks have exhibited this season. He did have a 100-yard game against Detroit, which Seattle still ended up losing. However, in the past couple of weeks, he has 104 yards over two games.
His 469 yards for the season in 31 catches equates to 15.1 on average. That is better than what Tyreek Hill and Davante Adams have. Additionally, fantasy football owners will have to factor in that DK Metcalf is the only one among the trio playing with the same quarterback that they began the season with.
Whom should I start among Davante Adams, Tyreek Hill, and DK Metcalf in Week 7?
With so many variables to consider, choosing the right wide receiver for Week 7 can become overwhelming for fantasy football managers. Sportskeeda's Start/Sit Optimizer tool can come to their aid here.
For Week 7, fantasy football enthusiasts should choose DK Metcalf over Davante Adams and Tyreek Hill. He has more yardage than others for the season, both in total and average, and that is showing up in the analysis. That accordingly also gives the Seattle star a higher chance to score a touchdown.
