Fantasy Football Start ‘Em Sit ‘Em: Week 7

Start ‘Em #1

Emmanuel Sanders is having a pretty good year in his first season with the Denver Broncos and the fantasy QB god that is Peyton Manning. Manning could make the worst receiver in the NFL look like a decent fantasy option if he were in the Broncos starting lineup, and Sanders is definitely not a scrub.

[Sanders] is getting plenty of looks from Manning, and I believe that he is due for a TD in Week 7.

So far this year, Sanders has been held without a touchdown catch through the Broncos’ first five games. This said, he is still putting up solid fantasy numbers, breaking 8 points in every game but one this year in standard leagues. He is getting plenty of looks from Manning, and I believe that he is due for a TD in Week 7.

In Week 7, the Broncos go up against the San Francisco 49ers. The 49ers have one of the NFL’s best run defenses, and I see the Broncos throwing the ball a lot. This means that Sanders should get plenty of targets and hopefully his first touchdown of the season.

If you can, make space for Sanders this week in your lineups.

Consider him a good #2 WR, and a great flex option for Week 7.
