Jamey Eisenberg's Week 7 Fantasy football sleepers and DFS picks: Rams injuries open door for hidden gems

With Davante Adams sidelined and Puka Nacua’s status uncertain, Tyler Higbee and Konata Mumpfield could deliver big Fantasy returns
With Davante Adams out and Puka Nacua questionable, Rams Davante Adams (hamstring) is already out for Week 7 at Las Vegas, and now Puka Nacua (calf) might not play. That's bad news for Matthew Stafford, but someone is going to have to step up and make plays in the passing game. With that in mind, we're looking at Konata Mumpfield and Tyler Higbee as sleepers. Now, as of Friday afternoon, Nacua has not been ruled out yet. He will work out before Sunday's game, and hopefully he'll be able to play against the Raiders. But leaving practice Thursday and not being able to practice Friday is a bad sign.
I would rank Stafford's pass catchers without Nacua and Adams as Higbee, Mumpfield, Colby Parkinson, Tutu Atwell, Jordan Whittington and Davis Allen. But Higbee and Mumpfield are the only two worth using in most Fantasy leagues. Higbee comes into Week 7 having scored at least 11.7 PPR points in three of his past four games. He was great in Week 3 at Denver when Nacua was sidelined with a groin injury, with eight catches for 62 yards and a touchdown on 11 targets. This is a great matchup against the Raiders, who are No. 7 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing tight ends. Six tight ends have scored at least
