Chargers Notes:
Philip Rivers – Underrated moving forward.
Vincent Jackson – One of the most undervalued low-end fantasy WR2s in the game.
Player | Match-Up | Week 7 Projections |

Colts Notes:
Peyton Manning – Get ready for big numbers out of Manning coming off the bye.
Joseph Addai – Tough to start either Colts rusher while both are splitting touches.
Reggie Wayne – Wayne is a top 3WR start each and every week no matter the match-up.
Player | Match-Up | Week 7 Projections |
QB Marc Bulger | vs. Colts | 200 pass yds, 1 pass TDs, 1 Ints, 0 rush yds, 0 rush TDs | RB Steven Jackson | 80 rush yds, 1 rush TDs, 44 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | RB Kenneth Darby | 0 rush yds, 0 rush TDs, 0 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | WR Donnie Avery | 4 recs, 45 rec yds, 1 rec TDs | WR Keenan Burton | 3 recs, 30 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | TE Daniel Fells | 2 recs, 19 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | TE Randy McMichael | 2 recs, 14 rec yds, 0 rec TDs |

Patriots Notes:
Tom Brady – Last week we advised everyone to buy-low and reminded fantasy worlds that only 5 weeks had passed. Congrats to all that listened and bought low.
Laurence Maroney – It always seems that what happens one week with this rushing attack never repeats the next week, but we shall see. Maroney looked great last week.
Randy Moss – Brady is back, which means Moss is back!
Player | Match-Up | Week 7 Projections |
QB Josh Johnson | vs. Patriots | 190 pass yds, 1 pass TDs, 1 Ints, 0 rush yds, 0 rush TDs | RB Cadillac Williams | 70 rush yds, 1 rush TDs, 10 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | RB Derrick Ward | 20 rush yds, 0 rush TDs, 0 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | WR Michael Clayton | 2 recs, 30 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | WR Sammie Stroughter | 2 recs, 19 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | TE Kellen Winslow | 3 recs, 33 rec yds, 0 rec TDs |
Buccaneers Notes:
Cadillac Williams – Sell-high if you can. If you cannot, ride it out!

Player | Match-Up | Week 7 Projections |
QB Ben Roethlisberger | vs. Vikings | 290 pass yds, 2 pass TDs, 0 Ints, 0 rush yds, 0 rush TDs | RB Rashard Mendenhall | 55 rush yds, 1 rush TDs, 11 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | RB Willie Parker | 25 rush yds, 0 rush TDs, 0 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | WR Santonio Holmes | 5 recs, 70 rec yds, 1 rec TDs | WR Hines Ward | 5 recs, 55 rec yds, 1 rec TDs | WR Mike Wallace | 3 recs, 33 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | TE Heath Miller | 3 recs, 40 rec yds, 0 rec TDs |
Steelers Notes:
Rashard Mendenhall – Mendy could struggle a bit in this one, but if he finds the end zone he should end up with decent numbers.
Santonio Holmes – Another good buy-low candidate.

Player | Match-Up | Week 7 Projections |
QB Aaron Rodgers | vs. Browns | 305 pass yds, 3 pass TDs, 0 Ints, 0 rush yds, 0 rush TDs | RB Ryan Grant | 65 rush yds, 0 rush TDs, 11 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | RB Brandon Jackson | 12 rush yds, 0 rush TDs, 0 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | WR Greg Jennings | 6 recs, 145 rec yds, 2 rec TDs | WR Donald Driver | 4 recs, 45 rec yds, 1 rec TDs | WR James Jones | 2 recs, 20 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | TE Jermichael Finley | 3 recs, 30 rec yds, 0 rec TDs |
Packers Notes:
Aaron Rodgers – Expect a BIG game.
Greg Jennings – Jennings is STILL our biggest buy-low candidate at the wide receiver position… especially coming off a mediocre outing in Week 6. Buy-low!!!!! Monitor his hip, but buy-low.
Player | Match-Up | Week 7 Projections |
RB Jamal Lewis | vs. Packers | 45 rush yds, 0 rush TDs, 6 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | WR Joshua Cribbs | 3 recs, 30 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | WR Mohamed Massaquoi | 4 recs, 40 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | WR Brian Robiski | 2 recs, 20 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | WR Chansi Stuckey | 2 recs, 20 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | TE Robert Royal | 2 recs, 11 rec yds, 0 rec TDs |
Browns Notes:
Joshua Cribbs – Cribbs could become relatively valuable moving forward. Is he the new CLE wildcat rusher? Grab him in larger leagues this week!
Mohamed Massaquoi – Massaquoi should benefit most with the departure of Edwards. This guy has nice upside in dynasty leagues!
[ Back to Top ]
Player | Match-Up | Week 7 Projections |
QB Trent Edwards | vs. Panthers | 195 pass yds, 1 pass TDs, 1 Ints, 0 rush yds, 0 rush TDs | RB Marshawn Lynch | 65 rush yds, 1 rush TDs, 11 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | RB Fred Jackson | 25 rush yds, 0 rush TDs, 33 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | WR Terrell Owens | 4 recs, 55 rec yds, 1 rec TDs | WR Lee Evans | 4 recs, 45 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | WR Josh Reed | 1 recs, 9 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | TE Derek Fine | 0 recs, 0 rec yds, 0 rec TDs |
Bills Notes:
Trent Edwards – Monitor the health of Edwards.
Marshawn Lynch – He should be back to 15-20 carries per game, which makes him a nice buy-low runner right now.
Terrell Owens – We still would not give up. Buy-low, but just ride it out if you already own him.
Player | Match-Up | Week 7 Projections |
RB DeAngelo Williams | vs. Bills | 105 rush yds, 1 rush TDs, 30 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | RB Jonathan Stewart | 65 rush yds, 1 rush TDs, 0 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | WR Steve Smith | 4 recs, 55 rec yds, 1 rec TDs | WR Muhsin Muhammad | 3 recs, 35 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | WR Dwayne Jarrett | 0 recs, 0 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | TE Dante Rosario | 2 recs, 14 rec yds, 0 rec TDs |
Panthers Notes:
DeAngelo Williams – We warned fantasy worlds about his bargain value heading into Week 6. Expect to see a top 5ish RB moving forward.
Jonathan Stewart – Very solid flex play moving forward, as we said last week. He will play like a fantasy RB2 some weeks, know that, but there could be some hit and miss type weeks ahead, just know that. Those rare down weeks are what hold him back from being a solid fantasy RB2 moving forward, but he sure will play like one at times.

QB Mark Sanchez | vs. Raiders | 220 pass yds, 2 pass TDs, 0 Ints, 0 rush yds, 0 rush TDs | RB Leon Washington | 40 rush yds, 0 rush TDs, 40 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | WR Braylon Edwards | 4 recs, 70 rec yds, 1 rec TDs | WR Jerricho Cotchery | 4 recs, 45 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | WR David Clowney | 2 recs, 22 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | TE Dustin Keller | 4 recs, 40 rec yds, 1 rec TDs |
Jets Notes:
Mark Sanchez – A Raiders match-up will help Sanchez bounce-back strong.
Braylon Edwards – Should bounce-back against the Raiders.
Jerricho Cotchery – Monitor his health.
Player | Match-Up | Week 7 Projections |
QB JaMarcus Russell | vs. Jets | 145 pass yds, 1 pass TDs, 1 Ints, 0 rush yds, 0 rush TDs | RB Michael Bush | 55 rush yds, 1 rush TDs, 8 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | RB Justin Fargas | 50 rush yds, 0 rush TDs, 12 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | WR Chaz Schilens | 0 recs, 0 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | WR Darrius Heyward-Bey | 3 recs, 29 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | WR Louis Murphy | 2 recs, 11 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | TE Zach Miller | 4 recs, 52 rec yds, 1 rec TDs |
Raiders Notes:
Michael Bush – If only he would get the touches.
Chaz Schilens – May have suffered a setback.

Falcons Notes:
Matt Ryan – Underrated fantasy QB1 moving forward.
Michael Turner – See how cheap you can get Turner via trade heading into Week 7. You may not land him cheap, but it is worth a try given his poor Week 6 outing.
Jerious Norwood – Monitor his health.
Player | Match-Up | Week 7 Projections |
QB Tony Romo | vs. Falcons | 245 pass yds, 1 pass TDs, 1 Ints, 0 rush yds, 0 rush TDs | RB Marion Barber | 65 rush yds, 1 rush TDs, 11 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | RB Tashard Choice | 40 rush yds, 0 rush TDs, 14 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | WR Miles Austin | 4 recs, 65 rec yds, 1 rec TDs | WR Roy Williams | 4 recs, 49 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | WR Patrick Crayton | 1 recs, 9 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | TE Jason Witten | 4 recs, 40 rec yds, 0 rec TDs |
Cowboys Notes:
Tony Romo – Sell if the price is right.
Marion Barber – Sell if the price is right, as we fear a RBBC situation moving forward.
Miles Austin – Solid fantasy WR3 moving forward.
[ Back to Top ]
Player | Match-Up | Week 7 Projections |
QB Drew Brees | vs. Dolphins | 245 pass yds, 3 pass TDs, 0 Ints, 0 rush yds, 0 rush TDs | RB Pierre Thomas | 70 rush yds, 1 rush TDs, 35 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | RB Reggie Bush | 25 rush yds, 0 rush TDs, 33 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | WR Marques Colston | 5 recs, 70 rec yds, 1 rec TDs | WR Devery Henderson | 4 recs, 65 rec yds, 1 rec TDs | WR Robert Meachem | 3 recs, 40 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | TE Jeremy Shockey | 3 recs, 35 rec yds, 1 rec TDs |
Saints Notes:
Pierre Thomas – Should thrive down the stretch in 2009.
Marques Colston – Colston will be rock solid again in Week 7.
Player | Match-Up | Week 7 Projections |
QB Chad Henne | vs. Saints | 200 pass yds, 2 pass TDs, 1 Ints, 0 rush yds, 0 rush TDs | RB Ronnie Brown | 95 rush yds, 1 rush TDs, 12 rec yds, 1 rec TDs | RB Ricky Williams | 55 rush yds, 0 rush TDs, 22 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | WR Ted Ginn | 4 recs, 45 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | WR Greg Camarillo | 2 recs, 22 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | WR Davone Bess | 1 recs, 9 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | TE Anthony Fasano | 3 recs, 25 rec yds, 1 rec TDs |
Dolphins Notes:
Chad Henne – Henne is going to be a good QB – He is perfect for this offense and will only help keep Brown tough to stop in that Wildcat offense.
Ronnie Brown – Smitty has a big grin every time Brown gets a carry. Best FFX prediction of 2009, just like his Turner prediction in 2008!
Anthony Fasano – Solid sleeper TE in Weeks 7-16.

Player | Match-Up | Week 7 Projections |
QB Kurt Warner | vs. Giants | 240 pass yds, 2 pass TDs, 2 Ints, 0 rush yds, 0 rush TDs | RB Chris Wells | 40 rush yds, 1 rush TDs, 0 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | RB Timothy Hightower | 40 rush yds, 0 rush TDs, 30 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | WR Larry Fitzgerald | 5 recs, 88 rec yds, 1 rec TDs | WR Steve Breaston | 4 recs, 55 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | TE Stephen Spach | 0 recs, 0 rec yds, 0 rec TDs |
Cardinals Notes:
Kurt Warner – Warner could struggle at times, but should get his 2TDs. But he could have a couple INTs as well.
Chris Wells – Monitor his health, but Wells got 12 carries last week, while Hightower received 13. The breakout game is close, great ready! Now is the time to trade for Wells in dynasty leagues. You will not be able to say we did not warn you.
Player | Match-Up | Week 7 Projections |
QB Eli Manning | vs. Cardinals | 305 pass yds, 2 pass TDs, 0 Ints, 0 rush yds, 0 rush TDs | RB Brandon Jacobs | 35 rush yds, 0 rush TDs, 0 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | RB Ahmad Bradshaw | 49 rush yds, 0 rush TDs, 6 rec yds, 1 rec TDs | WR Steve Smith | 5 recs, 85 rec yds, 1 rec TDs | WR Mario Manningham | 5 recs, 80 rec yds, 1 rec TDs | WR Hakeem Nicks | 4 recs, 40 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | TE Kevin Boss | 1 recs, 9 rec yds, 0 rec TDs |
Giants Notes:
Eli Manning – The Cards have the worst passing defense in the league.
Brandon Jacobs – The Cards have an awful passing defense, but they are one of the best against the run.
Ahmad Bradshaw – Touch match-up.

Player | Match-Up | Week 7 Projections |
QB Donovan McNabb | vs. Redskins | 222 pass yds, 2 pass TDs, 0 Ints, 0 rush yds, 0 rush TDs | RB LeSean McCoy | 20 rush yds, 0 rush TDs, 6 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | WR DeSean Jackson | 6 recs, 90 rec yds, 1 rec TDs | WR Jeremy Maclin | 4 recs, 45 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | WR Jason Avant | 1 recs, 15 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | TE Brent Celek | 4 recs, 50 rec yds, 1 rec TDs |
Eagles Notes:
LeSean McCoy – If he gets his chance, via injury or not, watch out! McCoy is a great secret weapon for those crafty enough to have drafted him back in August.
DeSean Jackson – Invest! Invest! Invest!
Player | Match-Up | Week 7 Projections |
QB Jason Campbell | vs. Eagles | 185 pass yds, 1 pass TDs, 1 Ints, 0 rush yds, 0 rush TDs | RB Clinton Portis | 55 rush yds, 0 rush TDs, 8 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | RB Ladell Betts | 10 rush yds, 0 rush TDs, 7 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | WR Santana Moss | 5 recs, 65 rec yds, 1 rec TDs | WR Antwaan Randle El | 2 recs, 30 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | WR Malcolm Kelly | 2 recs, 18 rec yds, 0 rec TDs | TE Chris Cooley | 2 recs, 28 rec yds, 0 rec TDs |
Redskins Notes:
Jason Campbell – Todd Collins could start this one.
Clinton Portis – Sell-high! Portis has solid trade value… take full advantage and take a lateral step into a less risky talent!
