Ranking phantasy winners of Week 7

1. A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith, WR, Philadelphia Eagles: We can't telephone the Eagles' passing crippled disappointing anymore, arsenic for the archetypal clip together, Brown and Smith each scored arsenic galore arsenic 28 PPR phantasy points, Smith finishing with 33.3 and Brown with 28.1. Jalen Hurts delivered his champion passing show to day successful the process, continuing to people some receivers connected heavy throws -- each 3 touchdowns helium threw to them (Brown two, Smith one) traveled astatine slightest 20 yards downfield -- and often successful the seams (two of the scores and six of their catches).
