Alex's News & Notes
The Carolina Panthers are statistically the best defense this year when it comes to shutting down opposing Quarterbacks in the Fantasy world so if you own Sam Bradford, sit him. I know he's thrown six touchdowns the past two weeks but I'm not buying in.
Two solid replacement options for Bradford, Drew Brees or Terrelle Pryor (Brees and Pryor are on byes), are Josh Freeman and Ryan Tannehill, both are currently under 15% owned. Freeman should get his first start as a member of the Vikings while Tannehill gets to face a Buffalo defense that was torched by Andy Dalton last week. If you're in need of a replacement Running Back take a good hard look at Mike Tolbert. The Rams are the second worst team when it comes to stopping opposing Running Backs this season so Tolbert should make noise this week as a Flex play. |
As injuries begin to pile up on the outside, many of us will be in search of some sleeper Wide Receivers and Tight Ends. This week I've selected a few guys that I think will put up solid numbers. Brian Hartline, Terrance Williams, Harry Douglas and Scott Chandler, all under 60% owned, are all great plays.

Holly's News & Notes
Welcome to Minnesota Josh Freeman! Freeman and the Vikings will take on the New York Giants - a defense that has allowed at least two passing touchdowns in every game this season. Freeman is a decent fill-in if you own Drew Brees; who is on a bye.
Brandon Jacobs is a must-play this week. The Vikings have allowed the most points per week to opposing Running Backs this season. Continuing with the Monday night game - I have two sleeper Wide Receivers you need to pick up this week. Rueben Randle and Jerome Simpson both have a chance to go off against each other. The Giants and Vikings have both allowed at least 22 points in every game since Week 2. |
My final note for Week 7 isn't going to be about a Tight End but rather a Defense. The Tennessee Titans take on the 49ers this week. The Titans have six interceptions, seven fumble recoveries and three scores this year. Colin Kaepernick has thrown five interceptions this season after throwing just three last year. I'm picking the Titans to upset the mighty 49ers down in Nashville making the Tennessee Defense a solid play.
