If you turned Nostradamus last week and weirdly started Dolphins running back Jay Ajayi, congratulations! Let’s pour some out to the fantasy teams you killed. But if you have Ben Roethlisberger and don’t have a decent back-up, let’s pour one out for you as well, ’cause your teams are probably gonna get killed in the coming weeks.
Either way, it’s Week 7, fantasy junkies! Time for another set of sleepers. Lets get it started!
2016 NFL Week 7 Fantasy Sleepers
Joe Flacco – Quarterback, Baltimore Ravens
Joe Flacco, the NFL’s current leader in completions (164) and 11th in passing yards (1589), will be facing a QB-friendly defense. The Jets are allowing the second-worst completion rate (71 percent), second-worst passer rating (114.7), fourth-worst passing yards (1740), and fifth-most passing TDs (13).
Brian Quick – Wide Receiver, Los Angeles Rams
Despite sharing opportunities with Kenny Britt and Tavon Austin, Brian Quick has been able to record 50-plus receiving yards in four straight games, and also has three TDs during the span. He should be a good choice this week against the New York Giants’ 22nd-ranked pass defense.
TJ Yeldon – Running back, Jacksonville Jaguars
The second-year back doesn’t have attractive numbers going in, but he has a great opportunity to improve them as he faces the horrendous Raiders ground defense, which is dead-last in yards allowed (2669, 445 per game). Yeldon is averaging 11 carries and four receptions per game.
Cameron Brate – Tight End, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Cameron Brate clearly isn’t Gronk, Greg Olsen, or even Austin Seferian-Jenkins, who he replaced in the Bucs roster, but he’s been getting a lot of attention from Jameis Winston, averaging seven targets in the past three games.
If he can have a five reception, 67 yard-game versus the talented Broncos defense, he should be able to do something similar with the shaky Niners, who are allowing the 10th most fantasy points to tight ends.
Brandon McManus – Kicker, Denver Broncos
Brandon McManus has four multiple field goal-games through six games this season. He should have his fifth on Monday against the Texans, who are giving up the seventh-worst in giving up points to kickers.
Baltimore Ravens Defense
The Jets are simply a mess at the QB position. Ryan Fitzpatrick, despite a lackluster season (two TDs and 11 INTs), is still miles ahead of back-up and Week 7 starter Geno Smith. The Ravens’ eight interceptions are second in the league, while the 19.2 points they are giving up per game is ninth.
