This post is from 2009!

Head over to MSF Fantasy Sports for our 2010 Week 7 Start / Sit Projections

——————–

I don’t really know that to say about Week 6.

I suppose there were some not-so-surprising results (Tom Brady and Randy Moss dominating, Drew Brees and Marques Colston dominating, Derek Anderson sucking, etc.) but they were countered by some very surprising results.

How does Cedric Benson dominate Baltimore and struggle against Houston? How do the Eagles get dominated by the Raiders? How does Adrian Peterson not get in the endzone when he ran that well. What happened to the time share between Ray Rice and Willis McGahee???

In the end, I guess Week 6 was like every other week: some stuff happened that we expect, some other stuff happened that we didn’t, and now we have to pick up the pieces and move on.

So let’s do it. Onto the Week 7 start em, sit em lineup advice and projections post.

Bengals round robin backfield, Benson to start Week 7

Straight out of left field, the Bengals Press Box announced that Cedric Benson is listed as the starting running back over Chris Perry.  It should be noted that Perry is active for today’s game.

What an unbelievable turn of events for Perry and the Bengals, who must have seen something in Chris Perry to just release Rudi Johnson.  And then there’s Benson, who could not buy a yard in Chicago. 

I don’t recommend starting Benson or Perry today against a strong Pittsburgh Defense, and a Bengals offense starring Ryan Fitzpatrick at the QB position.  I do however recommend picking up Benson just in case he looks like he did in college, a bonafide workhorse.  Benson is available in 90% of fantasy leagues.

Week 7 Fantasy Football Updates – Clinton Portis | Tony Romo | Seneca Wallace

October 18, 2008 By 1 Comment

(Update: Contrary to the reports from earlier this week that are referenced below, Tony Romo is not expected to start today.  He will play, only if things “go haywire.”)

Faithful MidwestSportsFans Readers, here is hot-off-the-press information. This is a must have to make your final lineup adjustments.

(And if you haven’t read this week’s Fantasy Football Sleeper Focus, follow the link and leave a comment if you have start ‘em-sit ‘em questions.)

Sunday versus Tampa Bay, Seneca Wallace will start at Quarterback for the Seahawks. Although he still is not 100 percent, Mike Holmgren is tired of the Charlie Frye clinic he has observed in the last two weeks. Charlie Frye will play backup as Matt Hasslebeck did not even make the trip.

It is now looking more and more likely that Tony “Favre” Romo will play this weekend versus St. Louis. At this point, I would not be excited to start Tony Romo for numerous reasons. If he sucks, they’ll pull him and say he’s injured. If he’s great, they will be up by a ton, and pull him to avoid injury. I see this as a great potential loss of points and not a good gamble on Tony Romo this weekend.

Finally, Clinton Portis has been downgraded to questionable for this Sunday’s game versus the Cleveland Browns. He will see the field, but the question is: how much? Leading into the week I expected Clinton Portis to absorb most if not all of the carries in the game due to his spellback, Ladell Betts, going down with an injury. With the signing of Shaun Alexander, I still did not expect Clinton Portis to lose carries to him as he does not yet know the offense. With the latest revelation, it is unclear how many carries Shaun Alexander will receive, which I am sure will depend on how Clinton Portis feels and performs throughout the game. At this point, Alexander was most likely given a handful of plays which the Redskins will be able to use him in.

Look for more information leading into Sunday morning. Remember, check with us, Midwestsportsfans.com, for all of your fantasy football needs.
