Creating An Optimal Lineup For Sunday Night Football Week 7

• Russell Wilson is the highest-ranked player on daily fantasy sites.
• Kyler Murray is priced at $16,500.
• DK Metcalf is listed at $13,000 on daily fantasy football sites.

PHOENIX—Sunday Night Football will feature a collision in the NFC West between the undefeated 5-0 Seattle Seahawks and the 4-2 Arizona Cardinals.

With such a big matchup ending off Sunday’s NFL action, daily fantasy football GM’s should begin looking at players to set their one day lineups.

Being that this game is loaded with talent, this is just a suggested lineup and should be changed around to the users liking.

MVP – DK Metcalf, WR, $13,000
FLEX – Kyler Murray, QB, $16,500
FLEX – Russell Wilson, QB, $16,500
FLEX – Zane Gonzalez, K, $9,000
FLEX – Dan Arnold, TE, $5000

WR DK Metcalf The MVP

Starting at the top with the MVP slot, it is filled out by DK Metcalf. Metcalf has easily been one of the top fantasy booms this year as he has emerged as not only the WR1 on the Seahawks but has been one of the top receivers in the league.

He has put up over 90 yards in every single game this season and has also put up five touchdowns as well which includes two in his last game. He can certainly prove his worth in the MVP slot being that he is overshadowed by both Russell Wilson and Kyler Murray. Being that he is overshadowed by them and he does indeed pop off, he would single-handedly carry the fantasy team on his back.

FEX 1 – QB Kylar Murray

Filling out the first flex spot is Kyler Murray. Murray should need no introduction as he has been playing absolutely amazing this season having thrown for 1,487 yards and 10 touchdowns and has also rushed for 370 yards and six touchdowns.

He has gone for over 25 fantasy points in every game this season and this matchup with the Seahawks should be no different as the Seahawks defense against opposing quarterbacks is horrendous as they rank 31. Not to mention, Murray is also the number one ranked fantasy player right now on legal betting sites.

Flex 2 – QB Russell Wilson

The second flex slot is taken by the other QB1 and arguably the leading MVP candidate, Russell Wilson. Wilson is another player that there should be no hesitation in drafting. He has thrown for 1,502 yards and leads the NFL in touchdowns thrown with 19.

He has gone for over 30 fantasy points in three out of five games this season and over 20 in his other two. It is safe to say that he will continue his high scoring here in Week 7.

Flex 3 – Kicker Zane Gonzales

The third flex slot is filled out by the Cardinals kicker, Zane Gonzalez. Some might think that drafting a kicker is pointless, but it certainly adds value when the surrounding players on the team can score a large amount of points. Kickers are actually not that useless when really looking at it as they are guaranteed points.

Looking at Gonzalez, he is one of the better kickers in the league and has gone for seven or more points in five of six games this season. Being that this game, in particular, is looking to be a high scoring one, Gonzalez should get his fair share of kicking in.

Flex 4 – TE Dan Arnold

The final roster spot is taken by Cardinals tight end, Dan Arnold. This is certainly a stretch of a pick but Arnold could be worth the risk of drafting.

The reason behind Arnold possibly having a good game is that the Cardinals current TE1 was placed on IR earlier in the season which should get him more involved and also the fact that they are going up against a weak Seahawks defense should help his case. The Seahawks rank dead last when defending the passing game.
