MNF Ravens vs Buccaneers Fantasy Football Week 7 Sit 'Em picks
While both offenses present plenty of options for Week 7 fantasy football lineups, some of their players still must be faded. This includes Rashod Bateman and Sterling Shephard, who have provided upside at times but are too risky to consistently trust.
The Buccaneers' running backs are also on the list of fades this week. They appear to be going forward with a committee approach, which is often detrimental to fantasy value and also face off against the Ravens' elite rushing defense. Combining the two factors makes their trio of running backs better off avoided.
Managers debating crucial lineup decisions during any week of the fantasy football season would be wise to reference Sportskeeda's Who Should I Start tool.
