- Dave Richard's Week 7 PPR cheat sheet assigns every relevant league player a confidence score from 1 to 10, with higher numbers indicating greater confidence to start.
- The Week 7 lineup board includes four teams on bye and continuing injury changes, leaving fantasy managers to make start/sit decisions in another challenging week.
- The 1–10 confidence scale represents data points, matchup outlooks and game-flow predictions; Richard says the resulting numbers indicate start confidence rather than statistical projections.
- The cheat sheet lists all relevant players and provides a firm fallback: if a player's name is absent, the instruction is not to start him.
- CBS Sports directs Sunday readers to its weekly fantasy rankings, which the source says are updated in real time.
- Caleb Williams is a focus of the main guide’s Week 7 outlook breakdown, while a separate ESPN headline turns to the Chicago star power in his inner circle.
- Patrick Mahomes is put on thin ice in a CBS Sports headline highlighting Dave Richard’s tough Week 7 start/sit calls.
Why it matters: Fantasy managers gain one consistent rule for a Week 7 slate shaped by four bye teams and continuing injuries: higher 1–10 scores mean stronger start confidence, not better expected statistics. The explicit default—do not start an unlisted player—turns omissions into an actionable lineup decision.
