Thursday Late Night Edition
My
Week 7 Perfect Lineup
(NFL.com)
No need to mince words. After six weeks,
we’ve seen a lot of action and we pretty much know who the studs are and who
they are not. Looking ahead to Sunday, here are the studs, with the matchups I
like for my Week 7 Perfect Lineup.
QB-Drew
Brees
I road with Brees last week and will
double-down with the Saints passer again this week. Brees and company are at
home again this week and will get a Rodgers-less Packers team this Sunday.
Brees is only the No.15 fantasy QB this season, so this could be a good week
for him to move up the boards.
RB-LeSean
McCoy
The Bills running back is coming off the
bye, so he should be well rested and ready to go Sunday against the Buccaneers.
McCoy hasn’t been able to break loose this season, just one 100-yard game under
his belt. The Bucs were just diced up by Adrian Peterson in week 6 for 134
rushing yards, so McCoy will be hoping to bust out as well.
RB-Devonta
Freeman
This has to be one of my favorite picks
for the week. The Falcons get a rematch with the Patriots and one thing we’ve
seen from New England, they have all kinds of issue on defense. Freeman is a
versatile back and will contribute on the ground and in the air. I think he has
a big night Sunday night.
WR-Julio
Jones
Playing off the Patriots defensive woes, I
will double-dip with wide receiver Julio Jones in this week 7 matchup. The Pats
allow the 4th most fantasy points to opposing wide receivers and it’s time for
Julio to break out!
WR-Dez
Bryant
The Cowboys travel out West this Sunday to
face the Niners. For Dez and company, they get a shot at one of the league’s
worst pass defenses and a secondary that has allowed the 7th most receptions to
opposing wide receivers. Dez has been heavily targeted this season, averaging
more than 9 per game. He’ll be involved on Sunday and could be in line for a
big day.
TE-Jimmy
Graham
Graham is healthy and has a great matchup
this week. With the Giants next on the slate, Graham will take his shots at a
defense that allows the most fantasy points to opposing tight ends, including
the most receiving yards (432) and most touchdowns (7).
PK-Ryan
Succop
The Titans are on the road to face the
Browns this week and while I like their matchup very much on Sunday, I expect
several trips into the red-zone, but maybe settling for a few more kicks than
they would like. Succop has been solid, among the leaders having made 16 of 17
field goals this season.
D/ST-Panthers
I am playing the odds here with this pick,
going with the defense facing a rookie quarterback (Mitch Trubisky). The
Panthers are on the road this week, but with Cam playing as well as he has
been, if they can get up on the Bears that will put a lot of pressure on
Trubisky.
That's My Take.
