Quarterback rankings in Week 7 will look a little thin.

Two of the top names in the business -- albeit one that has missed a few games due to injury -- will occupy a bye week.

Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson (to fully rehab his hamstring injury) will have vacations this week, leaving their fantasy football managers searching for replacements.

Luckily, quarterbacks sit in abundance outside of superflex/2QB setups, so adjustments can easily be made.

Scroll down to see AllSportsPeople' full Week 7 QB rankings to help you replace Allen and Jackson, or to find the best streamers if you're into that sort of thing.

Fantasy QBs on Week 7 Bye

  • Josh Allen, Bills
  • Lamar Jackson, Ravens (expected to return from injury in Week 8 after Cooper Rush, Tyler Huntley filled in)

Who are the best Week 7 fantasy QBs?

Though Allen and Jackson will sit out this week, the likes of Dak Prescott, Jayden Daniels, Daniel Jones, Drake Maye, Jalen Hurts, and Caleb Williams should all occupy the top two or three tiers.

Prescott and Daniels square off in a key NFC East matchup between two horrendous pass defenses, so both should go off.

Maye, Hurts, and Jones should continue padding their status with rushing accumulations, though all three have done plenty through the air on their own.

Which fantasy QB sleepers should I stream for Week 7?

Aaron Rodgers' Pittsburgh Steelers offense puts him in line for a big day against the Cincinnati Bengals, one of the top doormats to quarterback this season.

The trio of Tua Tagovailoa (at Browns), Cam Ward (vs. Patriots), and Bo Nix (vs. Giants) each have favorable statistical draws despite their inherent risk as fantasy starters. In deeper league where managers need to replace Allen or Jackson, these three could be widely available.
