11Alive's Jay Clemons offers up his initial positional rankings for NFL Week 7, covering Points Per Reception leagues.

An updated listing of the rankings will launch Sunday morning, presumably before the Titans and Chargers square off in Merry Old England (9:30 a.m. EST).

Clemons, the 2008 Fantasy Football Writer of the Year and 2015 Cynopsis Media award winner for "Sports Blog Of The Year," has previously served as the lead fantasy analyst for Sports Illustrated, FOX Sports South, Bleacher Report and Fanball.com.

Here are two vital links as we progress forward:

a) Tracking the NFL weekend weather, including what's going on Across The Pond.

b) The NFL's updated injury report.
