Steelers vs Bengals - Week 7 Fantasy Preview

Pittsburgh: Big Ben is back behind center but if the Steelers run like last week it won’t matter who plays QB for this team. Expect a re-commitment to the run and a big day for Bettis and Parker who should roll up 200+2TDs between them. Hines Ward and other WR may not play leaving Quincy Morgan as a starter, not good. Miller could have a good day because of it 5/65. Defense in Steeltown will have their hands full and will try to get to Palmer to disrupt the explosive Cincy pass offense and Rudi.

Cincinnati: This game will hinge on Palmer’s ability to get the ball downfield early to slow down a Pitt pass rush. Johnson may be able to take advantage of the aggressive LB’s and have a decent day rushing for 80 yards. Chad should break out a new TD dance or 2 as he burns DB’s for 10/140 and watch for Housh to have a great game 8/100 as well. Perry could be an X-factor out of the backfield catching passes. Defense will test Big Bens knee and ability to scramble if the Steelers pass. Cinci will need to shore up the run immensely or see a heavy dose of Bettis Parker

49ers vs Redskins - Week 7 Fantasy Preview

Redskins: Portis will see his carries this week and should exploit the SF defense outside for 100+ and his first 2 TD’s on the season. Brunell will try to find the explosive Moss deep and will have moderate success 7/105 but no score as SF plays 2 deep. Cooley will have a good game and may have 9 receptions this week for moderate yardage and a TD. Defense will force young Smith into turnovers with pressure if they can stuff Barlow and should dominate the young SF offense so start ‘em if you got ‘em. Blowout is a definite possibility unless the ‘Skins get cocky.

49ers: Smith gets his second excellent defense in his second start. Bad timing but he has shown some evasiveness and will every bit of it to find Lloyd deep. Lloyd is the go-to guy and should have 100 yards and a score. Barlow must play his best game to protect his young QB from the pass rush and should roll for 80 yards and a short score. SF’s defense has played very well and could force Brunell to turn the ball over with a solid pass rush. Expect them to play 2 deep zone so they don’t get burned deep and give up a lot of yards rushing.

Fantasy Spin

Ravens vs Bears - Week 7 Fantasy Preview

Baltimore: This team has a brutal offense. Wright is not getting it done. Lewis is not helping by playing tentatively and teams are stacking the box against him. Taylor may make a few big runs but totals no more than 80 yards. Heap can be counted on for 80 and a score, if the OFF scores at all. The defense has played better but must stop Jones rushing. If they do they should have a field day against rookie QB and is a good play this week with turnovers and a possible TD.

Chicago: Orton has a tough test this week but he has looked poised and may find Muhammed for 80 yards and a TD. Jones has been the best part of Chicago’s offense and could have a decent day even against a stout Ravens D. Defense is a must start against an anemic Ravens offense and could score a TD forcing an errant throw from Wright. Chicago like all teams will stuff the box and make running for Lewis and Taylor difficult while pressuring Wright into mistakes.

Broncos vs Giants - Week 7 Fantasy Preview

Broncos: 5-1 and impressive wins against solid opponents have Denver fans expectations mile high. Jake has been efficient so far but a big game this week with a long TD to Lelie, 7/115 and several key plays to Smith agaist the Gmen. Anderson and Bell tandem will find Giants run D tough but will total 160 yards and score once between them. Denver’s solid defense will stuff Barber rushing and pressure Eli but may give up yards in the pass game.

Giants: A tough loss last week but Eli and the Gmen will look to bounce back at home this week. Barber will find rush lanes small but may explode in the pass game finally and total 100 yards. Burress has a good match-up and should exploit his size advantage for 7/105 and a TD while Shockey rips the D for another 100 yard game. Toomer should see the ball when Denver doubles Plax. Defense will have to stuff the run and be wary of the Broncos exceptional play action passes or this game could get away and leave them at .500 on the season.

Cowboys vs Seahawks - Week 7 Fantasy Preview

Dallas: Big D heads to the west coast for their fourth time this season. Julius Jones is still a question mark so if he sits Bledsoe should have a big day, 300+3TD’s. Glenn could get deep on a couple long passes for 7/125 and Price could also be a factor deep and score. Witten has been a great target especially on third downs so he goes for 8/100 and he or Keyshawn score short. Defense is coming around and is playing well but will be tested against Alexander. The Cowboys will get some sacks and maybe force a few turnovers but have to protect against the big play.

Seattle: ‘Hawks are rolling on the wheels of Alexander. The stud RB is facing maybe his stiffest test this week but should still tally 100 total yards and a TD. Matt will find his receivers short but Stevens could have a big game in the middle of the field for 7/85 and a TD. Joe could grab a short TD pass and Warrick could make a big play or two. Defense has played much better lately and will try and pressure Bledsoe into turnovers on a suspect blind side. Expect a few turnovers as a result but Seattle must guard against the big play with new starting safety Manuel

Titans vs Cardinals - Week 7 Fantasy Preview

Tennessee: Missing top WR Bennett will hurt McNair/Volek but rookie Jones will start and have a 100 yard game and could score on a deep ball. Titans will focus on the run against the Cards to keep the pass rush off McNair and Brown should have 100 yards and a TD. Calico will have 75 yards to move the chains but Troupe is the red zone threat and should score. Defense is young and disciplined but will have their hands full against the dynamic WR duo, expect a shoot-out

Cardinals: Green is playing mystery QB but McCown has done well his past 2 games and TEN pass rush favors him over a hobbled Warner. Either QB should be able to find 8-10 receptions for Boldin and Fitzgerald who have 100+ yards and a TD each. Shipp will run effectively and Arrington could be a pass threat coming out of the bye week. Defense will have to pressure McNair and do a much better job against the run if they want to be competitive this season.
