5th Down - Week 7

Latest fantasy info at your fingertips.

Quarterbacks - By:fantasyguru

MUST START: QB Drew Brees, New Orleans Saints :NO: 
The Skinny: Saints QB Drew Brees enters Week 7 against the Colts with a couple of impressive streaks. He has thrown for at least 350 yards in each of his last four contests and has gone an NFL-record 26 games with 20-plus completions. Indianapolis enters Sunday ranked 18th in the league against the pass, giving up nearly 256 yards per contest, and have allowed an average of 19.3 Fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks.

MUST BENCH: QB Mark Sanchez, New York Jets :NYJ:
The Skinny: Sanchez has displayed better accuracy at home this season, completing 57 of 93 passes for 718 yards. The young QB has thrown for five touchdowns and three interceptions while posting a 89.8 passer rating during the team's three wins. Sanchez, whose nine total touchdown passes ranks eighth in the NFL, could struggle against the Chargers' defense that has permitted only 179.6 yards per game. San Diego is also yielding just 15.6 Fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks. I'd sit him this week.

SLEEPER: QB Jay Cutler, Chicago Bears :CHI:
Bears QB Jay Cutler will be up against the 26th ranked pass defense in the NFL in Week 7, when he travels to London to take on the Buccaneers. Tampa Bay is allowing an average of 276 passing yards per game and have given up 10 touchdown passes, tied for third most in the NFL. The Bucs have intercepted just five passes this season with three of them coming in Week 6 against Drew Brees of the Saints. They rank just 23rd in the league in sacks and do not appear to present Cutler with an unfavorable matchup.

Running Backs - By: JMACisBACK

Must Start- Arian Foster, Houston Texans :HOU-NFL:
Last year he was a consensus must start each and every week, this season he is off to a so so start( at best) due to injuries, AJ being out, etc. This week look for him to get back to the Arian we loved last year, if we owned him. I see him torching the TEN defense for over 100 yards rushing this week, and at least 1 score, with an additional 4-5 catches for another 40 plus yards, making him the PPR beast we had hoped for when many of us selected him in the top 3 of drafts this season.

Must Bench - Peyton Hillis, Cleveland Browns :CLE-NFL:
In addition to being a question mark, he just has not looked like the same back of last year. One year wonder maybe?? Time will tell, but I am not nor never have been sold on this back myself. he has too many question marks heading into this week to put your turst into him as a starter. Move and find other options if you can( Also Jahvid Best is a question mark this weekend as well so keep tabs on his situation)

Sleeper- DeMarco Murray, Dallas Cowboys :DAL:
Felix Jones is out, Tashard Choice is anything but spectacular and Murray looked pretty darn good last week when he took over for Jones. STL is brutal vs the run and the Dallas staff seems to be losing some confidence in Romo , so look for them to take advantage of the soft STL def and run Murray early and often and when he is not running look for him to be a nice check down option for Romo as well. He could put up 75 yards on the ground, with another 40-50 through the air and a score as well this weekend. Take the gamble and put him in your lineup this week.

Wide Receivers - By: zadelstein

Must Start: Eric Decker, Denver Broncos :DEN:

I try to pick a player every week that is not an obvious start every week.  Eric Decker has had an up and down year, mostly because of the up and down year in Denver. But with Brandon Lloyd gone, and Tebow now solidified at QB, Decker should get a bigger piece of the pie.  This week, the Broncos are going up against the Dolphins coming off of a bye, in what will be a homecoming for Tim Tebow.  The dolphins are giving up 24 fantasy points a game to opposing recievers.  I expect Decker to get at least double digit targets and catch a majority of them, giving him at least 10 fantasy points in standard scoring leagues.

Must sit: Jacoby Ford, Oakland Raiders :OAK-NFL:

So in the past 2 days, a QB has come out of retirement, and been named the starter...and its not Brett Favre!!!  Carson Palmer is taking over the offense of the Raiders with just 4 days to learn the entire system.  This cant bode well for the wide recievers, but especially for Jacoby Ford who is just getting back to 100% from his hamstring injury.  While I think it is possible for Ford to get some decent points going up against a very bad Chiefts secondary, I would take a wait and see approach.  If it is not a vital sign for you, observe the first week of the new Raiders offense and see what the future holds.

Sleeper: Kevin Walter, Houston Texans :HOU-NFL:

With Andre Johnson out for another week, Kevin Walter takes over the #1 reciever role for the Texans once again.  Although the Texans have had trouble getting the ball to recievers lately, the have had success in the past throwing the ball against the tough Titans defense.  This is a must win game for the Texans as they are in a 2 game skid and doing everything they can to get back on track.  I expect Walter to see double digit targets this game as the Texans go for a division win.

Tight ends - By: Jake

Must Start: TE Jimmy Graham, New Orleans Saints :NO:

Nothing changing here from last week. Graham is Brees' go to guy so far this season, and plays a weak Colts passing defense. Expect another 100 yard game, as he is averaging 103 yards per game this season.

Must bench: Antonio Gates, San Diego Chargers :SDG:

The Chargers appear to be pushing him to start, but I would avoid.  Gates is a great player even when he isn't 100%, but the risk seems too high for the reward against a stout Jets defense.  I would go with safer options like Tony Gonzalez, Owen Daniels and Dallas Clark.

Sleeper: Fred Davis, Washington Redskins :WAS-NFL:

With Chris Cooley out, Davis was a favorite targer of Rex Grossman.  With John Beck the starting QB now, expect a lot of short throws and check downs, which is right up Davis' alley.  I would expect 5 catches and around 50-60 yards with hopefully a TD this week against Carolina.

Defenses - By: Eric

Must Start: DEF Green Bay Packers :GB:
The Minnesota Vikings are finally fed up with Donavan McNabb’s shenanigans, so they decide to throw rookie QB Christian Ponder to the “Pack”. This is good news for the Packers. They may not be the best against the pass (11 INTS) but they should be alright in stopping Ponder this week and possibly get a shutout or at least hold them to 10 pts or less.

Must Bench: DEF Indianapolis Colts :IND:
This defense has never been great and probably shouldn’t be owned in any league. They have allowed over 23 points in every game this season and have only 3 INS and 4 FR all season. You be better off starting the 49ers (bye week) defense this week than the Colts atrocious D.

Sleeper:DEF Carolina Panthers :CAR:
Ok so I might be a bit biased on this matchup this week, but John Beck will be getting the start for a benched Rex Grossman. 4 of their 6 games have come against top 10 QB’s (Rodgers, Brees, Cutler and Ryan) so if you are struggling looking for a deep sleeper, the Panthers D might be your choice.

  • Braves155: Been starting to get into these older games that originally ran off DOSBOX for those who know what I'm talking about. The idea is you build your team with a salary of XXX and then every 2-3 seasons you have decisions to make. Field a 26 man roster, control your own pitching rotation, pen, lineup & bench like the true MLB. Draft every season where there's a lot of turnover. Interesting for sure.

Julio Aguilar/Getty ImagesJayden Daniels was selected by the Washington Commanders in the 2024 NFL Draft By Fernando Franco Puga  The Washington Commanders have received some very bad news. Jayden Daniels, who they picked with the 2nd overall pick in the 2024 Draft, may soon be banned from the NFL after violating a very important rule.   In the 2024 NFL Draft, several teams were in need of a top quarterback to bolster their offenses. With the 2nd overall pick, the Commanders decided to select Jayden Daniels, one of the best prospects at the position.  Daniels had a remarkable path through LSU, even breaking some of Joe Burrow’s records. However, the quarterback’s career is now in jeopardy after he admitted to breaking the league’s rules regarding gambling.   Jayden Daniels openly admits to violating the NFL’s gambling policy Worrying news has arrived in Washington today. Jayden Daniels, their 1st-round pick this year, has openly admitted to violating the NFL’s gambling policy, and his rookie season is in jeopardy.  NFL Draft: Jayden Daniels admits whether he'd like to play for the Washington Commanders SEE ALSO  NFL Draft: Jayden Daniels admits whether he'd like to play for the Washington Commanders  During a recent appearance on the “All Facts, No Brakes” podcast, Daniels revealed that he has a bet with Malik Nabers, the New York Giants‘ 6th overall pick, on who’s going to be this year’s NFL Offensive rookie.   “Man, he wasn’t supposed to tell nobody,” Daniels said about Nabers revealing the bet. “We got a little something going on. I mean, he put it out there, so it’s like I can’t say he cap.”  Keyshawn Johnson, host of the podcast, asked Daniels about the bet. The quarterback admitted that the wager for $10,000 is real, but he was clearly uncomfortable with the question.    Jayden Daniels Jayden Daniels with LSU “Going against him is gonna be fun,” Nabers said, via the New York Daily News. “We got a bet going for Rookie of the Year. Whoever loses gotta pay, I think it’s $10,000 cash.”  Nabers and Daniels were teammates at LSU. They are set to meet in at least two games in the upcoming season. However, this gamble could get them both banned from the NFL, as they are clearly violating the league’s gambling policy.  What does the NFL gambling policy says about betting? This situation will pose a huge challenge for the Commanders and the Giants. The league strictly prohibits players from engaging in any form of gambling related to the NFL, as it undermines the integrity of the game.  SEE ALSO  2024 NFL Draft picks by team: How many picks does each team have?  The policy explicitly prohibits ‘private wagers between teammates, family and friends, or others.’ This situation could land the two rookies in trouble, potentially resulting in a ban for the former LSU players.  SURVEY Should Jayden Daniels and Malik Nabers be banned over their bet?  Yes No ALREADY VOTED 1162 PEOPLE  Fernando Franco Puga Fernando Franco is an accomplished writer and sports journalist specializing in soccer, NFL, MLB, and MMA.
