HOT
QB
Andrew Luck – This is a bounce back game for Andrew Luck after his streak
of 3 straight games of multiple TD passes was broken with zero against the
Jets. This week he faces Cleveland who allows the 5th most fantasy
points, tied for most TD’s and 2nd most yards to QB’s.
Ryan Fitzpatrick – Another bounce back candidate, after averaging 3 TD’s in
his first 4 games, he’s had zero in last two. Coming to town are the Titans who
allow 3rd most fantasy points and 4th most yards to QB’s
Honorable mentions: Josh Freeman and John Skelton
RB
Doug Martin and Legarrette Blount – Saints allow most fantasy points to RB’s.
Felix Jones – Normally a 3rd down passing situation back,
Felix will get some early down work this week with DeMarco Murray out. Carolina
allows the 5th most points to RB’s along with 3rd most
receptions to RB’s and MOST receiving yards to RB’s Wavier and Bench fodder meets top 10 upside
RB in week 7.
Honorable mentions: Ben Tate and Vick Ballard
WR
Lance Moore – With Jimmy Graham likely out, Moore should see a bump in
targets. He’s practicing fully this week after being out the week before the
bye with his hamstring. The Saints face
the Bucs this week and the matchup is ripe for the Saints passing game. Tampa
Bay allows the 6th most points and 3rd most yards to WR’s.
Moore has WR2 upside in PPR.
Donnie Avery – Donnie Avery saw
13 targets in Week 6. This week he faces the Browns allowing the most
receptions, most TD’s and 2nd most fantasy pts to WRs. With Joe Haden
likely to shadow Reggie Wayne, you can confidently flex or start Avery as a
WR3.
Honorable mentions: Kendall Wright and Jeremy Kerley
TE
Scott Chandler – After scoring 4 TD’s in his first 4 games, Chandler has
come back to earth in his last two outings. However this week he faces the
Titan’s and they allow the most fantasy points to TE’s. That equates to most
receiving TD’s, most receiving yards, most receiving targets and most receptions
to TE’s.
Honorable mentions: Dustin Keller and Dennis Pitta
NOT
QB
Matthew Stafford – Stafford hasn’t had a multi touchdown game all year. Even
Megatron only has 1 TD all year. This week Stafford faces the Chicago Bears on
the road and they allow give up the fewest fantasy points to QB’s.
Watch out: Cam Newton
RB
Shonn Greene – He had more points in Week6 than he did in the first 5
weeks combined. This week faces New England and they allow 6th
fewest points to RB’s and they will force the Jets to pass to win.
Watch out: Mikel Leshoure
WR
Steve Smith – Dallas is allowing the second fewest points to WR’s and
Smith did nothing against Seattle’s press man coverage and that’s exactly what
Carr and Claiborne will play.
Watch out: James Jones
TE
Fred Davis – Fred Davis hasn’t scored a TD all year and only gained more
than 55 yards twice in 6 weeks including a 14 and 38 yard performance. This
week facing the Giants that allow 3rd fewest points to TE’s.
Watch out: Kyle Rudolph
