When it comes to playing NFL DFS, there are often week-to-week fluctuations in pricing for players based on performances and matchups. As we examine the NFL DFS Week 7 main slate on DraftKings, let’s look at some players like Baltimore Ravens RB Kenyan Drake and New York Giants WR Wan’Dale Robinson whose price tags have risen and decide whether or they are now worth spending up for. On the flip side, there are players like San Francisco 49ers RB Jeff Wilson whose salaries have fallen this week and could be new values or worthwhile plays. Let's take a closer look at the notable NFL DFS Week 7 DraftKings risers and fallers.

DraftKings NFL DFS Week 7 Risers 

Kenyan Drake, Baltimore Ravens – $1,100 RISE to $5,100

Drake gets the biggest price bump of the week as he is up $1100 from last week’s meager $4.0K DK. He is still only the 34th-highest priced running back on the slate and may see an extra workload again if starter JK Dobbins is still suffering knee issues on Sunday. With Dobbins exiting early due to “tightness” in his knee last week, Drake turned into the Baltimore Ravens' feature back against the Giants and responded with 10 carries for 119 yards and a touchdown. This is a run-heavy offense under Lamar Jackson and with Dobbins' injury history, Drake could be looking at another quality Week 7 against the Browns, who are allowing 20.8 DK points to RBs per week.

Wan’Dale Robinson, New York Giants – $900 RISE to $4,500

Robinson looked sharp in only his second career NFL game after missing four games with a knee injury. He only played on 23% of the snaps but was hyper-targeted with a target on 36% of his routes run. Four targets went the former Kentucky Wildcats' way, and he caught three of them for 37 yards and a touchdown. This week, the New York Giants face Jacksonville and Robinson finds himself in play as a GPP punt – especially if Kadarius Toney (hamstring) remains out. 

Josh Jacobs, Las Vegas Raiders – $800 RISE to $6,500

Jacobs is having the best start of his career under new head coach Josh McDaniels. He has had back-to-back 100-yard rushing games and is averaging 28.5 DK fantasy points over his last three contests. With a total of 490 rushing yards over only five games, Jacobs now gets a nice matchup. Houston has struggled to stop the run with the third-most rushing yards allowed per game in the NFL (164.8). Even with the price rise, he is still at least $1K too cheap on his Week 7 price tag. At $6.5K DK, Jacobs is only the 11th-highest priced RB on the slate and should be the chalk of the day on DraftKings.

DraftKings NFL DFS Week 7 Fallers

Jeff Wilson, San Francisco 49ers – $400 FALL to $5,800

Wilson ran for only 25 yards last weekend and lost a fumble in his worst performance of the season as the Niners lost 28-14 to the Falcons. He entered the game coming off his best performance of the year when he ran all over Carolina on the road for 120 yards and a touchdown for a total of 23 DK fantasy points. As the 21st-most expensive running back on the slate, Wilson will now be facing the Chiefs this week. Even though they will be a tough matchup, he remains the starter and workhorse on a roster that is severely deficient at RB on the depth chart. Wilson may not be a cash play due to the matchup, but he is firmly an option in GPPs due to his price and amount of time he will be on the field.

Amon-Ra St. Brown, Detroit Lions – $500 FALL to $7,100

St. Brown is only going to get better as the season goes on. He is the target hog in the Lions' offense and the guy that everything funnels through. The timing of this past week’s bye was huge as St. Brown was able to get a full week’s rest on the injured ankle that forced him to miss Week 4 and severely limited him in Week 5 against the Patriots. This is a slot receiver that was headed to a $9.0K price tag before the injury and now sits at only $7.1K DK and is nearly 100% again. St. Brown had gone eight straight games of double-digit targets before the injury with a 26.3 DK fantasy point average in that span. If he's back to normal, we will see a popular cash play as DFS players run to take advantage of this extreme discount.
