Rich Hribar's Week 7 Core DFS Plays
Christian McCaffrey ($8,700 FanDuel/$7,600 DraftKings)
On Monday night, McCaffrey played a season-high 85.5% of the offensive snaps, handling a season-high 25 touches for 117 yards with 2 touchdowns.
With the pass-catching room depleted, the team featured McCaffrey in the passing game, catching 9 of 10 targets for 53 yards.
McCaffrey had a season-high 34.5% target share.
With Mike Evans off the field this season, McCaffrey has been targeted on 43.5% of his routes with a team-high 33.3% target share.
With the receiving room banged up and the 49ers on bye next week, San Francisco can feature McCaffrey again as a pass-catcher in addition to his rushing role.
In last year's matchup, McCaffrey caught 7 of 8 targets for 72 yards.
We should see him find success as a runner here, too.
McCaffrey ran 24 times for 129 yards and 2 touchdowns against Atlanta last season.

Rich Hribar's Week 7 Tournament DFS Plays
Tee Higgins ($7,000 FanDuel/$6,600 DraftKings)
Higgins heads out of the bye with some strong metrics.
He has career marks in target rate per route (25.3%), air yards share (42.7%), yards per catch (15.7), and yards per route run (2.49).
The only thing down in his profile right now is that he only has 1 touchdown.
Higgins has only 1 red-zone target, a 4.2% share.
I would bet on that catching up big picture, since Higgins has seen red-zone target shares of 23.3% and 29.3% over the past two seasons.
The Ravens have allowed only 2 touchdowns to receivers, but they give up big gains.
Baltimore is allowing 13.2 yards per catch to receivers (22nd).
The Ravens are playing two-high coverage 62.8% of the time (5th highest).
Against those looks, Higgins has been targeted on 31.3% of his routes with 3.11 yards per route.

Rich Hribar's Week 7 DFS Game Stacks
Packers at Lions
The highest total of the main slate (53.5 points) is indoors in Detroit.
Detroit games are averaging a league-high 62.4 combined points.
The Lions average 3.09 points per drive on offense (2nd) while allowing 2.74 points per drive defensively (30th).
Green Bay's side is cleaner because their usage is tighter and their core pieces are cheaper than Detroit's.
We're also operating under the premise that if we are betting one of these defenses is bad, it is Detroit.
Matthew Golden, Christian Watson, and Tucker Kraft are the clear stacking partners with Jordan Love.
You will see Savion Williams added this week as a punt play.
I am not overly enthused by that idea, but he is dirt cheap, and the Detroit side is expensive.
A wild card here is the return of Josh Jacobs (who is not in the player pool at FanDuel).
If you use Jacobs, build around the Detroit side and Jared Goff.
Jahmyr Gibbs and Amon-Ra St. Brown are always expensive to tack on with Goff, but they have great splits at home in Detroit.
Getting the Jameson Williams and Sam LaPorta call right is trickier when building Detroit onslaughts, but I lean Williams for the per-target upside.
