NFL Survivor picks for Week 7
The delicate balance of staying in the present while also looking ahead to the future has never been more important than it is in Week 7 of the NFL season. Why? Because Week 8 offers few Survivor choices, especially for those who have already selected the Dolphins.
Many contestants start off less interested in being in it for the long haul and more interested in not being embarrassed by getting knocked out early. That can lead to a lot of elite and great teams being picked over the first few weeks of the season. As the year goes along, that means making some really tough decisions with some lesser-caliber squads.
As we hit Week 7 and many of you take stock of where things stand, you’ll probably have the Bills, Dolphins, 49ers, Chiefs, Eagles, and the like unavailable to you the rest of the way. That is one of many reasons why these contests are so hard to win.
For the purposes of this article, my “entry” is still alive after the Rams won last week. The picks so far (as I embody the previous paragraph) have been Commanders (Week 1), Bills (Week 2), Chiefs (Week 3), 49ers (Week 4), Dolphins (Week 5), and Rams (Week 6). I’ll play it out until I can’t, but teams I’ve used will be under the “consideration” section for those who have them available.
