Everything you need to know about the wide receiver position in Week 7
By Heath Cummings Oct 20, 2022 at 3:18 pm ET • 1 min read With Kenny Pickett and Pat Freiermuth both expected back in Week 7, I don't really have a lot of interest in starting Chase Claypool. I expect Diontae Johnson, George Pickens, and Freiermuth to get more targets than Claypool even after his spectacular Week 6. But that doesn't mean I don't want to add him. Week 7 Previews: QB TE RB Claypool's name is one of many that has circulated in trade rumors since before the season. And he's one of a handful of players I could see being a big winner. The most obvious, and speculated, location for Claypool would be Green Bay. If he somehow got there, he could vault into must-start territory with just one good game. But just about any trade location would figure to be to a team that needs him more than the Steelers behave like they do. And there's a decent chance anyone who trades for him has better quarterback play. A trade isn't the only way Claypool's value could spike. He could catch a long touchdown from Pickett in Week 7 and earn more targets from the rookie. Or someone else on the Steelers could get hurt and move Claypool up in priority. Either way, coming off a great game, I'd like to add and stash Claypool for at least one week anywhere he's available. Here is the rest of the Week 7 WR Preview:CBS Sports HQ Newsletter

9.6 For as long as Marquise Brown is out, and that may be the rest of the season, I would anticipate Moore locking down the high-volume slot role in this offense. He's far more valuable in full PPR than he is in non, but this week he's a potential starter in both. Josh Reynolds WR DET Detroit • #8Age: 27 • Experience: 6 yrs.

13.7 Reynolds missed practice on Wednesday and Thursday. He'll need to get on the field on Friday before can feel comfortable starting him, but the Lions can't stop anyone, which means there should be plenty of targets for Amon-Ra St. Brown, T.J. Hockenson, and Josh Reynolds. Reynolds has 28 targets in his last three games, and the two games he earned 10 targets came when St. Brown was on the field. They're both starters this week.

9.5 One good game shouldn't be enough to move Claypool into your starting lineup, but it should be enough to get him rostered in most leagues. He has the physical traits; it just hasn't quite translated to production. Circumstances could improve in the coming weeks. WR PreviewDFS Plays
