IDP Plays And Fades: Week 7 (2024)

Week 7 of the NFL season is here, and we’re lucky to have only two teams on bye week: the Chicago Bears and the Dallas Cowboys.

Some players are making their way back from the injured reserve and others are headed to the IR. Make sure to check out our Fantasy In Frames IDP waiver-wire article every week to fill in your open roster spots. 

Below are my educated guesses of players to Play and others to Fade for Week 7 of the NFL season. As we continue to get more data, we get a better idea of who to lean on throughout the season.
As always I am going to give you some players I think could have a better week than expected or might have a worse game than predicted.

Here we go!

Plays

  1. T.J. Watt, LB/DE Steelers vs Jets
    • Week 6 versus the Raiders was just the second game this season that Watt didn’t record a sack, but he was still a terror. Watt finished as one of the top scorers in Fantasy Pros IDP players with 20.5 points. Watt had five solo tackles and two forced fumbles.  
    • The Jets offensive line has struggled. Jets QB Aaron Rogers has been sacked 16 times this season. Left Tackle Tyrone Smith has already given up five sacks. Right tackle Morgan Moses has yet to give up a sack, but has four penalties and six total pressures. Watt is going to be a problem on Monday night. 
  2. Donte Fowler, DE Commanders vs Panthers
    • Dorance Armstrong left the Commanders Week 6 matchup against Ravens with a rib injury pushing Fowler into the lineup, and he didn’t disappoint. Fowler finished the game with 21.5 points in Fantasy Pros scoring. He had four solo tackles and two sacks.  
  1. A.J. Epenesa, DE Bills vs Titans
    • Epenesa had four tackles, three solos, and two sacks against the Jets in Week 6. With Von Miller suspended, the Bills won’t rotate their defensive ends as much as they usually do. He saw 65.9% snap share on passing downs and finished the day with the Bills best pass rush grade according to PFF. 
    • The Titans are really struggling this season. QB Will Levis was sacked eight times earlier this year against the Packers. The Bills should be sending the house when Levis goes back to throw.

  1. Matt Judon, DE/LB Falcons vs Seahawks
