Week 7 fantasy quarterback rankings: Top QB streamers, starts

While quarterback injuries can be devastating to any team, there's a renewed sense of optimism when those quarterbacks are healthy enough to play again.

The Chicago Bears had that experience in Week 6 as Caleb Williams returned to action

and looked like he hadn't missed a beat. After missing three games with a hamstring injury, Williams connected on 30 of his 36 pass attempts for 305 yards and a touchdown in a win over the Falcons.

This week, we could see the return of Lamar Jackson (ankle) to the Ravens and Baker Mayfield (thumb) to the Buccaneers, greatly increasing the fantasy football potential for skill players on both teams.
