Saquon Barkley will make his return to MetLife Stadium on Sunday. Barkley signed a three-year, $37.75 million contract with the Eagles this offseason and he’s been worth every penny. He’s third in the NFL in rushing yards per game (96.4) and has provided value for daily Fantasy football players as the RB4 in Fantasy football this season. This matchup has revenge game and rivalry narratives. He comes with an expensive price for NFL DFS picks, but given the personal matters at play, is he a must-add to Week 7 NFL DFS lineups and NFL DFS stacks?

Top NFL Week 7 DFS picks for Sunday
One of the optimizer’s top DFS value picks for Sunday is Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson ($8,500 on DraftKings, $9,400 on FanDuel). Even with his high price tag, the optimizer has Jefferson listed as one of the best values at the position and that’s due to his dominance and consistency this season. The 25-year-old has more than 80 yards in four of five games this year while scoring a touchdown in each of his last four games. In the one game he didn’t find the end zone, Jefferson had six receptions for 92 yards on 14 targets in London against the New York Jets, who have one of the best pass defenses in the NFL led by standout cornerback Sauce Gardner.
Jefferson is sixth in the NFL in receiving yards (450) despite the Vikings already having their bye. He’s fifth in yards per game (90) even while adjusting to new quarterback play with Sam Darnold taking over in Minnesota. Jefferson was second in the league in receiving yards per game (107.4) last season and the Lions have struggled to contain top receivers this season. They have allowed at least one receiver to have more than 100 yards in three of five games this season and CeeDee Lamb had seven receptions for 89 yards against Detroit last week.
The optimizer’s NFL DFS strategy also includes rostering Browns tight end David Njoku ($4,100 on DraftKings, $5,300 on FanDuel). The 28-year-old had five receptions for 31 yards in his second game following an ankle injury suffered in Week 1. Njoku only had one reception for 14 yards the week before as he played 46% of snaps, but the Browns tight end increased that to 74% of snaps on Sunday, which was the third-highest of any Cleveland skill position player.
The Browns traded WR1 Amari Cooper to the Bills on Tuesday, which opens up a significantly larger target share for the rest of Cleveland’s pass-catchers. Cooper led the Browns in receptions (24), targets (53), receiving yards (250) and receiving touchdowns (two) this season while generating 27.3% of the targets from Deshaun Watson. Njoku is a prime candidate to benefit from those additional targets against the Bengals, who rank 23rd in yards allowed (356 yards per game) this season.
