Oct. 21 (UPI) -- Davante Adams, Kenny Golladay, DeAndre Hopkins, D.K. Metcalf and Stefon Diggs top my Week 7 fantasy football wide receiver rankings for 2020. Tyreek Hill, A.J. Brown, Calvin Ridley, Keenan Allen and Will Fuller round out my Top 10 options for Week 7. Tyler Boyd and Brandon Aiyuk also are among my favorite starts this week.

You should target players who have a good chance to score a touchdown and get a lot of looks from their respective quarterbacks when considering who to start at wide receiver.
Monitor the status for each of your players' games this week as the coronavirus pandemic continues to impact the NFL schedule. Minnesota Vikings, Miami Dolphins, Baltimore Ravens and Colts players should be removed from all starting lineups, as those teams have Week 7 byes.
Check out my weekly waiver wire article for candidates to add to your roster before your Week 7 matchup.
Here are some of my favorite players in this week's rankings:
TOP SHELF
Davante Adams has been limited to just three games this season due to injury and hasn't scored since Week 1, but he is my top fantasy football wide receiver for Week 7. Aaron Rodgers' top target should be in for a huge performance as he faces a Houston Texans defense that has allowed nine touchdowns this season to wide receivers.
The Texans allowed four catches for 124 yards and a score to A.J. Brown last week. I expect Adams to eclipse 100 receiving yards and score against Houston in Week 7.
Detroit Lions wide receiver Kenny Golladay lands at No. 2 in my Week 7 rankings. Golladay had a season-high 105 yards in Week 7 after he scored a touchdown in each of his first two games this season. I expect another big day from Matthew Stafford's top target when he faces the Atlanta Falcons.
The Falcons have allowed the second-most receiving yards and fifth-most fantasy points per game to wide receivers. Golladay should remain in your lineup -- regardless of matchup -- for the rest of the season.
SNEAKY PLAYS
A.J. Brown is an elite fantasy football option at the wide receiver position. The Tennessee Titans pass catcher had a huge Week 6 performance and is due for another big game in Week 7, when he faces the Pittsburgh Steelers.
The Steelers have allowed the seventh-most fantasy points per game to wide receivers. Brown is my No. 7 option for and is a WR1 in this matchup.
LONGSHOTS
The Cincinnati Bengals have several wide receivers who could help your fantasy football team, but Tyler Boyd is my favorite option out of the group. Boyd has a team-high 48 targets this season and continues to be quarterback Joe Burrow's first option.
I think Boyd gets into the end zone this week when the Bengals battle the Cleveland Browns. The Browns have allowed the fourth-most fantasy points per game to wide receivers.
Boyd is my No. 17 option and lands in WR2 territory in leagues with at least 10 teams.
San Francisco 49ers rookie Brandon Aiyuk keeps finding new ways to contribute, which also elevates his fantasy football stock. Aiyuk has three touchdowns this season and has a good shot to return to the end zone in Week 7, when the 49ers face the New England Patriots.
The Patriots have allowed the 12th-most fantasy points per game to wide receivers. I expect New England to focus on the 49ers other offensive threats, which should give Aiyuk plenty of opportunities to produce for your fantasy team.
Aiyuk is my No. 44 option this week and can be used as a bye-week fill in if you are in a league that has at least 14 teams.
