Who Should I Start? Jalen Royals or Eric Rivers Jr.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Jalen Royals should continue to have a role in the passing attack against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 7. The second-year wideout caught two of his four targets for 24 yards against the Los Angeles Chargers last week. Royals was expected to step into the team's WR2 role in the absence of both Rashee Rice and Tyquan Thornton and that appeared to be the case from a usage standpoint. Royals was on the field for nearly as many snaps as Xavier Worthy and ran the second most routes among Kansas City wide receivers. Royals should once again be a featured part of the passing attack, but production is not guaranteed especially this week. The Seahawks defense is among the worst matchups for opposing wide receivers and given his lack of production against the Chargers, Royals could be in store for even less success this weekend. Royals is ranked WR65 in our RotoBaller Week 7 PPR rankings, making him a desperation flex option in Seattle. Fantasy managers may want to look elsewhere for flex production this Sunday.
