Fantasy Football Starts and Sits for Week 7
Starts
Carson Palmer– Palmer has been one of the best quarterbacks so far and in week 7 faces a Baltimore defense that is giving up the most points to quarterbacks this season.
Eli Manning – Eli had a disappointing week 6 but has a good match up this week against Dallas and you can expect him to bounce back in a game that should be a shoot out.
Doug Martin – Martin has shown flashes of his rookie self this season and he faces one of the tougher defenses this week at Washington but should be able to produce solid numbers this week.
Todd Gurley – Now that Gurley is healthy he faces one of the worst rush defenses this week at Cleveland. Expect him to post solid running back one numbers this week.
Eric Decker – Decker has been one of the more consistent wide receivers this season and you can expect that to continue in week 7 vs New England in a game that should be a shootout.
Pierre Garcon – Garcon has been a consistent wide receiver this season and in week 7 has a favorable match up against Tampa Bay in a game that should be high scoring. Garcon should post solid wide receiver two numbers in week 7.
Charles Clay – Clay has been one of the more consistent tight ends this season and this week he has a very favorable match up against Jacksonville in London. Note that the game is at 9:30 A.M Eastern Time.
Gary Barnidge – Barnidge has been one of the best tight ends this season and with inconsistent play from Cleveland’s wide receivers Barnidge will have the chance to continue to produce solid tight end one numbers this week.
Sits
Matthew Stafford – Stafford had a big week 6 but is facing a Minnesota defense who has been tough on quarterbacks this season and is giving up the fourth fewest points to quarterbacks. Stafford could have a tough game in week 7.
Melvin Gordon – Gordon has been one of the biggest busts this season and was benched in week 6 for Brandon Oliver following his two fumbles. San Diego’s backfield will likely become a committee.
Jordan Mathews – Mathews has been one of the bigger disappointments at wide receiver this season and now he faces Josh Norman and the Carolina defense who have been shutting down the opposing team’s number one wide receiver.
Brandin Cooks – Cooks had a lot of hype coming into the 2015 seasons but has failed to produce the numbers we expected. Now in week 7 he will probably see Vontae Davis who is one of the best shut down corners in the NFL.
Zack Ertz – With the Eagles often struggling Ertz has been very inconsistent and this week plays Carolina and their stout defense.
Coby Fleener – The Colts have two tight ends Colby Fleener and Dwayne Allen and are very inconsistent with producing numbers and are not worth the start in week 7.
