Week 7 Waiver Wire and Flier's

QB

Josh Freeman – Coming off his week 5 Bye, perhaps Freeman and the Bucs offense have their act together after he posted 328 yards and 3 TD’s in week 6.  Freeman got both of his big WR’s Mike Williams and Vincent Jackson involved and this week he goes up against New Orleans, who allow the 6^th most fantasy points to QB’s.  With many Qb’s on bye, Freeman is more than serviceable this week. He has low QB1 upside in this matchup.

QB Flier

Brandon Weeden – Weeden in wk 6 had 231 yards and 2 TD’s with 1 interception. This week he faces the Colts and they allow the 13^th most fantasy points to QB’s.  The emergence of Josh Gordon along with Trent Richardson is a blooming fantasy trio.

RB

Felix Jones – DeMarco Murray has been ruled out for week 7. In relief of Murray last week Jones got 92 yards and a TD on 18 rushes.  He should certainly reach 18 carries against the Panthers in week 7 and they are allowing the 5^th most fantasy points to RB’s.

Montario Hardesty – When Trent Richardson went down, Hardesty ran for 56 yards on 15 carries and scored 1 TD. With Richardson’s week 7 status dubbed “uncertain,” Hardesty could end up facing the Colts who allow the 3rd most fantasy points to RB’s.

RB Flier’s

Philip Tanner – Felix cannot carry the full load and it’s likely that Murray’s injury will be multi-week or at least susceptible to reinjury.

Daryl Richardson – Tough schedule but getting half of the carries.

WR

Mike Williams – See Josh Freeman (above). Additionally New Orleans allows the 3^rd most fantasy points to WR’s.

Donnie Avery – In week 6 Avery got 13 targets. His week 7 opponent? The Cleveland Browns, who allow the 2^nd most fantasy points to WR’s. Shutdown corner Joe Haden will likely shadow Reggie Wayne.

WR Flier’s

Josh Gordon – 197 yards and 3 TD’s in last three games. Week 8 he faces the Colts allowing 8^th most fantasy points to opposing WR’s.

Brandon Gibson – Week 6 Gibson converted 9 targets into 6 catches and 91 yards.  Week 8 Gibson faces the Packers who allow 12^th most fantasy points to WR’s and the Rams will have to throw to win.

TE

Tony Scheffler – Week 6 he had 5 targets, 3 receptions and 81 yards. He’s already had his bye and if facing the divisional Bears in a Monday Night Showdown and they allow the 12^th most fantasy points to TE’s.
