Block UserNeed last-minute help? Here are some deep sleepers for Week 7:
QB: Chad Henne, Miami: The second-year vet threw for 241 yards and two scores for his best career fantasy day last contest. The Saints have already allowed a young, inexperienced quarterback to pass for a solid fantasy day. Third-year vet Kevin Kolb threw for 391 yards and two scores in Week 2.
QB: Ryan Fitzpatrick, Buffalo: He showed promise when he passed for 116 yards and one score against a tough Jets pass defense last contest. He’s starting in place of an injured Trent Edwards and faces Carolina’s erratic defense. It allowed Donovan McNabb to throw for two scores and Matt Ryan to pass for three touchdowns this season.
RB: Larry Johnson, Kansas City: San Diego ranks as the league’s sixth-worst rushing defense, giving Johnson one of his best chances to achieve his first 100-yard rushing game this season.
RB: Michael Bush/Justin Fargas, Oakland: The Jets lost their best run-stuffer Kris Jenkins for the season. He and Fargas could find running room as a result.
RB: LeSean McCoy, Philadelphia: The rookie is expected to receive more playing time as the result of Brian Westbrook’s ankle injury. If the Eagles can jump out to a big lead against Washington, McCoy will likely be featured in the running game.
RB: Brandon Jackson, Green Bay: Cleveland ranks as the league’s third-worst run defense and has allowed the second-most rushing scores. If Green Bay can jump to a big lead, look for it to rely more on the running game and utilize its second-string running back.
WR: Austin Collie, Indianapolis: St. Louis ranks as the league’s sixth-worst pass defense. The rookie has emerged as a consistent target for Peyton Manning, catching 14 passes for 162 yards and three scores for the past two contests.
WR: Johnny Knox, Chicago: Cincinnati ranks as the league’s fifth-worst pass defense; it has also yielded the third-most passing scores (9) of the 26 NFL teams playing in Week 7. The rookie has scored in three of the last four contests.
WR: Malcom Floyd, San Diego: Kansas City ranks in the bottom fourth in allowing passing yards (249.5); it also has yielded the second-most passing scores (10) of all the 26 teams playing in Week 7. Floyd has gained the second-most receiving yards (178) of San Diego’s wide receivers.
WR: Chaz Schilens, Oakland: Projected as Oakland’s No. 1 wide receiver in the preseason, Schilens is expected to play in his season’s first game against the Jets.
TE: Sean Ryan, Kansas City: Tight ends have fared superbly against San Diego, scoring three touchdowns from the past two contests.
K: Lawrence Tynes, New York Giants: He could receive many field-goal and extra-point chances against Arizona if this game between two potent offenses becomes high scoring.
D/ST: Oakland: It mixed up pass coverages against Philadelphia last game, utilizing zones rather than extensively using man-to-man. The Raiders had more success with their pass rush as well, forcing a season-high six sacks. It can force rookie Mark Sanchez into heavy pressure, and make turnovers as a result. Sanchez threw five interceptions last game and had three picks in Week 4.
