The True Guru's Week 7 Sleepers
I had some great calls last week, but week 7 has five teams on the BYE, so allot of help is needed. Here are my week 7 sleepers.
BYES: Ravens , Broncos , Titans , Jaguars , Lions , Seahawks
Quarterbacks
Ryan Fitzpatrick, Kan - If you have a two QB league or a real deep league, Fitzpatrick is a great start against the awful Carolina pass defense. 250 yards, 2 TDs aren't out of the question.
Josh Johnson, TB - Johnson will be throwing all day to keep up with Brady. He's at home and the Patriots defense isn't as good as some may think. Johnson could put up 2 TDs and 225 yards if you are desperate for a QB.
Runningbacks
Chester Taylor, MIN - Adrian Peterson may not take off against the Steelers in Pittsburgh, and that bodes well for Taylor. Even fi Peterson plays well, this game is likely to be a shoot out and 12-15 touches/targets for Taylor.
Leon Washington, NYJ - We are calling him again. The Jets will utilize their runningbacks more after the debacle of Mark Sanchez last week. Leon should easily get in the end zone once or even twice.
Wide Receivers
Kevin Walter, Hou- With Nate Clement and double coverage on Andre Johnson all day, look for Walter to get plenty of targets and find the end zone.
Lance Moore, NO - You could say this is one week late, but I don't think it was a fluke. Brees now knows he's there and and his targets should increase. He outmatches the Cardinals secondary, ad should find the end zone. Maybe twice.
Tight Ends
Sean Ryan, KC - I like Sean Ryan again this week, the third time is a charm. I expect two terrible defenses to let the offenses score plenty. Ryan should see plenty of targets and is an excellent candidate for a TD.
Jermichael Finley, GB - Finley can run circles around the Cleveland linebackers and hammer their defensive backs. It could be a huge day for Finley or at least a very good day. Start him if your TE is on the BYE. Expect a TD.
Defenses
Houston Texans - They are a longshot for a sleeper defense, but if Crabtree disturbs the offense, the Texans can pounce on mistakes. Being at home helps as well.
Cincinnati Bengals - They have the 11th rush defense, and at home their pass defense is excellent. Even with Odom out for the year, the Bengals should get plenty of mistakes out of Culter, while Palmer and Benson control the clock.
New England Patriots - They are at home against the Titans. I'm not excited about Seau quite yet, but the Patriots should get a lead in this game and the defense plays well at home. Start them with your defense on the BYE.
