Golden Games, Week 7: Best Fantasy Matchups This Week

Welcome to the Week 7 edition of Golden Games, where we highlight the best fantasy football matchups of the week.

We’re sticking with our new format this week: Ranking every single game based on how many total fantasy points from projected fantasy starters will be scored. What better way to pick the “fantasy games of the week” than using a projection-based model?

This ranks “game environments” and is highly useful for both DFS and season-long fantasy, where you can choose your non-superstar starters wisely based on likelihood of a shootout.

For the purposes of this article, an “elite” player is someone in the top five for projected points among QBs, TEs or K’s, or the top 10 among RBs or WRs.

Week 7: Best Fantasy Games This Week

1. Atlanta Falcons vs. Seattle Seahawks

Elite fantasy players in the game:

• Younghoe Koo (K1)
• Kenneth Walker III (RB3)
• Bijan Robinson (RB6)
• Drake London (WR4)

A surprise at number one? Bijan had his best game as a pro last week, Seattle has depth at both RB and WR, and we still can’t quit Kyle Pitts.
