Fantasy players should be familiar with Keenan Allen’s perennial injury problems as he has missed the last five games with a hamstring injury. He could make his return to action this week, but if he does, is he an automatic play in your Week 7 NFL DFS rosters? In his absence, Mike Williams has been a top 10 fantasy wide receiver in standard scoring formats and a staple of NFL DFS picks. The Chargers face Seattle, whose defense allowed opposing offenses to throw for the third-highest average target depth in the NFL (9.1 yards). Both wide receivers can be viable options in the Week 7 NFL DFS player pool if Allen plays. Before you make your NFL DFS picks for the Week 7 Sunday slate, be sure to check out NFL DFS tips, strategy and player projections from SportsLine Fantasy Daily Expert Mike McClure.

This year he has already won the DraftKings Millionaire Maker twice and the FanDuel Million once. Now, McClure has turned his attention to Week 7 and has locked down his top daily fantasy football picks. You can only see his picks and analysis on SportsLine.
Top NFL DFS Picks for Week 7
One of McClure’s top NFL DFS picks for Week 7 is Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb at $6,800 on DraftKings and $7,700 on FanDuel. Dallas quarterback Dak Prescott is in line to return to action this week, which should be the difference for Lamb. Over the past two weeks, the Cowboys’ offense has generated just 257 passing yards, but they face a much friendlier pass defense this week against Detroit.
Lamb has undoubtedly been Dallas’ top offensive target this season, especially with tight end Dalton Schultz (knee) out for the past few weeks. Of the 120 total targets given to Cowboys receivers this season, Lamb has accounted for 60. Additionally, Detroit’s defense has yielded the fifth-highest average target depth on opposing offenses (8.9 yards), so Lamb should have plenty of room to run in the secondary.
Part of McClure’s optimal NFL DFS strategy includes training Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III at $5,800 on DraftKings and $7,300 on FanDuel. In an age of advanced analytics where we know more than ever about how a running back can add value to an offense, Walker seemed elitist in his first two weeks as the No. 1 in Seattle.
He ranks third in the NFL in breakaway rush rate (11.4%), sixth in yards created per touch (4.42) and seventh in juke rate (44.2%). In the past two weeks, that has also translated directly into traditional success, as he carried the ball 29 times for 185 yards and two touchdowns. Now Walker is getting an ideal game against a Chargers defense that is allowing 5.6 yards per carry (31st) and is a strong bet to receive 20-plus touches for a second straight week.
