A pair of big trades involving big-name wide receivers will certainly shake up the fantasy rankings, but it's unlikely to happen this week. Davante Adams is practicing fully with the New York Jets and is expected to play this week, while Amari Cooper is uncertain to suit up after only minimal practice time with the Buffalo Bills.

On top of that, there are so many injury questions at the position.

Fantasy football rankings for Week 7 are based on the point-per-reception (PPR) scoring used in most seasonal and daily fantasy football formats. One point is awarded for every 10 rushing and receiving yards and one point for every 20 passing yards. Six points are awarded for touchdowns scored, four points for passing TDs and one point for receptions.

Rankings are compiled by Daniel Dobish, TheHuddle.com.

Despite being one of the NFL's most-targeted receivers through the first six weeks, Amari Cooper only registered 24 catches and 250 yards as a member of the Browns.
