1. Reggie Wayne vs. St. Louis Rams
The Rams just allowed two 100 yard receivers (Sims-Walker, Holt) and 335 yards of passing to David Garrard on Sunday. Now they get Peyton Manning, who’s off to his best start ever. Look for Wayne to be a prime target all afternoon and to eclipse the 100 yard mark with at least two scores. He’s our top ranked fantasy football WR in Week Seven.
2. Andre Johnson vs. San Francisco 49ers
Andre Johnson is playing on a different planet right now. He has 16 catches for 236 yards and two TDs in the past two weeks. And now he faces a team that gave up over 200 yards to Roddy White in Week Five. Look for Johnson to abuse CB Nate Clements for another 100 yard game and a TD on Sunday.
3. Marques Colston vs. Miami Dolphins
Drew Brees’s favorite target will be on full display this Sunday. Miami’s DBs don’t have the size or speed to stay with Colston and we expect another 100 yard effort with a TD in Week Seven.
4. Roddy White vs. Dallas Cowboys
White has picked up his game considerably over the past two weeks and should have another excellent fantasy outing on Sunday. The Cowboys inability to pressure opposing QBs makes things difficult for their DBs, and we like Ryan to take advantage of this situation and locate White throughout the game.
Sleepers
1. Hakeem Nicks vs. Arizona Cardinals
The Giants No. 1 Draft Pick in 2009 has score three TDs in three consecutive weeks. And as the No. 3 receiver, he’ll have plenty of mismatches against the Cardinals which Eli and the Giants will attack. He’s a strong fantasy sleeper play in Week Seven.
2. Mike Wallace vs. Minnesota Vikings
Thanks to two top run defenses, both teams are going to have to pass in order to win this game. Look for Roethlisberger to locate his third receiver for a long TD on Sunday as Wallace will be difficult for the Vikings Nickel Back to stay with.
Others We Like
DeSean Jackson vs. Washington Redskins
The Redskins are dead in the water after their horrific loss to the then 0-5 Kansas City Chiefs in Week Six. The Eagles, also coming off a horrible loss, will likely take to the air on Monday Night and Jackson has stepped his game up in year two.
Larry Fitzgerald vs. New York Giants
If the Giants are unable to pressure Warner this week, Fitzgerald will be a nightmare for Giants DBs. He’s a strong play regardless, but more so if Warner has time to pass.
Randy Moss vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Moss found his game – and the end zone, three times – when the Patriots embarrassed the Titans on Sunday. The Bucs play a similar style of defense: none. Expect Moss to shine again on Sunday.
