All season long Zachary Krueger will go in-depth with all of the key wide receiver performances. Providing weekly targets, air yards breakdowns, and fantasy points over expectation trends, he’ll help you dominate the waiver wire and make the best start/sit decisions in your upcoming fantasy football matchups.

With another week of football in the books, it’s time to take a look back at who the fantasy gods gifted us with in Week 7. An injury to Odell Beckham Jr. gave way to some unexpected receiving performances for the Browns, while an undrafted rookie led the Saints to a victory over Carolina.

Here are some receivers who stood out in Week 7 and how we should view them going forward.

Marquez Callaway

Thanks to whatever is going on with Michael Thomas and an unexpected visit to the COVID list for Emmanuel Sanders, undrafted rookie Marquez Callaway drew the start on Sunday for the Saints.

In Week 5 against the Chargers, Callaway saw a 68% snap share, and turned six targets into a 4/34/0 line and 7.4 PPR. Callaway’s promising Week 5 in a week that featured Sanders in the lineup made him one of my favorite deep starts in Week 7.

When his number was finally called against the Panthers, Callaway delivered.

He led all Saints WRs in targets (10) and finished with 8/75/0 receiving and 15.5 PPR (WR27).
