Week 7 RB Rankings
Rankings are for full-PPR scoring.
Opp Rank = opponent ranking in DK fantasy points allowed to the position (1st = toughest, 32nd = most generous), blending 2025 full-season data with limited 2026 results.
Projected points blend 2025 per-game DK fantasy averages with 2026 weekly performance, adjusted for opponent matchup, game environment, snap share and expected game script.

DraftKings DFS Value Plays
Woody Marks ($5,600) — Texans vs. Giants
Game environment: Texans -10.5, O/U 42.5 (26.5 team total)
Last week: 10.1 DK points @ JAX
2025 PPG: 9.1 DK fantasy points (16 games)
Projected DraftKings points: 16.1
Marks is the cheapest path to a lead back in a double-digit favorite’s offense. David Montgomery has not practiced this week and is expected to miss Sunday, and with Jawhar Jordan back on the practice squad, Marks is the only established back left in Houston’s rotation after handling 15 carries in each of the last two games. The Texans’ 26.5 team total is tied for second-highest on the main slate, and a 10.5-point spread sets up a clock-killing second half. Every main-slate back projecting higher costs at least $900 more.
Kyren Williams ($7,000) — Rams @ Raiders
Game environment: Rams -3.5, O/U 48.5 (26.5 team total)
Last week: 9.7 DK points vs. ARI
2025 PPG: 15.6 DK fantasy points (17 games)
Projected DraftKings points: 21.1
Williams projects fourth among main-slate backs and costs less than the three projecting ahead of him, as well as Derrick Henry, who projects lower. He is on the field for 70% of the snaps and has drawn 27 targets over the last three games, which keeps his floor intact even after a quiet Week 6. Las Vegas ranks 25th against running backs on a blended basis, and the Rams carry one of the main slate’s highest team totals. That combination of passing-down work and scoring environment is rare at this salary.
Chuba Hubbard ($6,700) — Panthers vs. Buccaneers
Game environment: Panthers -3, O/U 44.5 (23.5 team total)
Last week: 22.1 DK points @ PHI
2025 PPG: 8.4 DK fantasy points (15 games)
Projected DraftKings points: 19.0
Hubbard’s workload is the case here, not the matchup. He played 80% of the snaps and carried 28 times for 120 yards and a touchdown in Week 6, and he has scored at least 14.4 DK points in every game he has played this season. Tampa Bay ranks fourth against running backs, so the ceiling depends on volume rather than efficiency, but no main-slate back in his salary range has a comparable share of his team’s backfield. Each of the five main-slate backs projecting higher costs at least $300 more.
