The Los Angeles Rams defense was rolling last week, and they can keep that momentum going in Week 7 against the Detroit Lions. Since scoring 33 points in Week 1, the Lions haven't scored more than 17 points in any of their next five games. They also have given up at least one turnover in five out of six contests. The Rams have six takeaways over the last two weeks, and they've been getting after opposing offenses with 10 takeaways through six games. If you're able to get the Rams in your lineup, you should be doing so.
Los Angeles Rams kicker Matt Gay has been quite consistent this year, and he remains a safe play in Week 7 against the Detroit Lions. Gay has made 31 of his 33 kicking attempts this year, and the only reason he doesn't get put higher in the weekly kicker rankings is because of his offense's efficiency. He's kicked 12 field goals compared to 21 extra points. When the Rams have the ball, they're generally scoring touchdowns. In Week 7, the Rams draw the Lions, who have given up at least 19 points in all six games this season, and they've allowed 34 or more points in three of six games. Gay has a very high floor and should be a safe play in fantasy lineups against the winless Lions.
Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee has been fading over the last few weeks, and he remains a TE2 option in Week 7 against the Detroit Lions. There are multiple fantasy tight ends that are out this week on bye, and that bumps up the viability of Higbee. Higbee has seen at least five targets in four out of six games this season, and he's recorded at least 36 receiving yards in those same games as well. The Lions allow an average of 10.5 fantasy points per game to opposing tight ends, and with Higbee playing nearly all of the tight end snaps for the Rams, he has some playability this week.
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Robert Woods hasn't been the elite fantasy option we've come to known from recent seasons, but he's still a solid flex option in Week 7 against the Detroit Lions. Woods scored his third touchdown of the season in Week 6 and he's currently averaging just under 60 receiving yards per game. He's still averaging over seven targets per game and has 18 more than the third option on the team. Woods has a good matchup against a bad Lions secondary, and he should still be a flex option for this week.
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp is on another planet for fantasy wideouts entering Week 7 against the Detroit Lions. Kupp's 152.8 fantasy points in PPR setups are 15.1 more than any other wideout. He has a 47-point cushion between him and the WR12 on the year. Kupp leads the Rams with 68 targets, which is 24 more than any other Rams pass-catcher, and he has seven of the team's 16 receiving touchdowns. The Lions have only given up four touchdowns to opposing wideouts this year because they've been very forgiving to opposing running backs. Regardless of that, you're starting Kupp with confidence this week.
