Fantasy football for week seven will begin this Thursday when the Oakland Raiders host the Kansas City Chiefs in the Black Hole. Who should you start and who should you sit?

The NFL has given us three pretty decent match-ups in a row now for Thursday Night Football and that makes checking your fantasy football team even more important. The Chiefs and Raiders will square off this week in an AFC West showdown and there are plenty of big time names to keep an eye on regarding your rosters.

These are two teams that had high expectations heading into the season, but so far, only Kansas City has delivered on those. The Chiefs sit at 5-1 while the Raiders are 2-4. If the Raiders drop this game, their hopes for winning the division will be pretty slim.

The Chiefs are looking to rebound after their first loss of the season and that should make owners of any Chiefs players pretty optimistic. From Alex Smith to Kareem Hunt to Travis Kelce, the Chiefs have one of their best offenses in years and they’re finally a team that has standout fantasy football players.

So, who should you start and who should you sit for the seventh Thursday night match-up of the year? Let’s take a looky loo.
