Week 7 - Fantasy World

It is now week 7 in the NFL season, let's dive right into the awards and predictions so everyone can get their lineups set! Currently, NFLFantasyHub has 182 followers, I think we can get to 200 before kickoff!

WEEK 6 AWARDS:

MVP: Cam Newton (CAR)
Superman took flight on Sunday against the Vikings. Newton, who had 8 total TD's in the previous 4 games of the season, finished with 4 total TD's in a 35-10 route of the Vikings. Not to mention he threw with accuracy. He finished 20-26, 242 yards, 3 TD's and rushed for 30 yards and 1 TD.


 Bust of the Week: Calvin Johnson (DET)
Where has Megatron been the last couple of weeks? He has been non-existent. He sat out the week before and only had 3 catches for 25 yards, and ZERO TD's. That is unacceptable for an elite WR like himself. Of course we cannot sit Calvin, but he needs to pick it up not only for fantasy sake, but for the Lions.

Sleeper of the Week: Thad Lewis (BUF)
Who? Is that a boxer? No. Thad Lewis that starting QB for the Buffalo Bills while E.J. Manuel recovers from an injury. With a week Buffalo pass offense, no one thought that Mr. Lewis would have a game like he did. Lewis finished 19-32, 216 yards, 2 TD's and also had 17 yards rushing and 1 TD.

Week 7 predictions: 

Star of the Week: Philip Rivers (SD)
River's stock has dropped from being a great fantasy start to a "well he's better than Ponder" kind of start. Regardless, River still knows how to rack up the yards and TD's; and with the matchup against Jacksonville, that is what he's going to do.
Prediction: 375 passing yards, 4 TD's

Sleeper of the Week: Zac Stacy (STL)
Zac Stacy, in his two starts, is averaging 4.9 yard per carry, including 2.4 yard after contact, according to ESPN. With 78 and 79 yards rushing in his start is pretty solid for a St. Louis rookie back. I think he has a good chance to break out against the Panthers, but only in a deep league.
Prediction: 120 total yards, 2 TD

Bust of the Week: Matt Ryan (ATL)
With Roddy White, Julio Jones, and Steven Jackson out this week, Ryan has to look at Harry Douglas as his number 1 WR, who had two catches last week! Yes, it's a great opportunity to start Douglas in the WR spot but Ryan won't produce much with only Douglas and Gonzalez as targets.
Prediction: 200 yards, 1 TD

Bold Prediction:
Matt Forte will go OFF against the week Redskins. 200 total yards, 3 TD's
