Injuries continue to be a major factor in the NFL, but we do have some notable names returning this week, including DeAndre Hopkins and Mac Jones. Players who have had extended absences can sometimes have difficulty getting back to game speed and fully assimilating back into the offense, so that is something you want to account for in your handicapping.
Also, keep in mind the impact that defensive injuries can have on player matchups. A star defensive back being out means that everybody else has to shift around, which may create better opportunities for a WR2, WR3 or even a tight end. The injury report is always going to help when trying to find edges in this market.
Here are two player props to consider for Week 7 (odds are from DraftKings):
Kenneth Walker III Over 66.5 Rushing Yards (-125)
This prop total is on the rise and may continue to go up (shop around!), but how can you not like this matchup for Walker? First of all, the Seahawks have really done well on the offensive line this season, as their additions and draftees seem to be sizable upgrades over what was previously there. The Seahawks are racking up 6.2 yards per play and 5.3 yards per carry, which ranks fourth in the NFL.
