Fantasy Football 2017: Start Em, Sit Em for Week 7
Fantasy football will continue this weekend and we will see some great match-ups on Sunday. Who should you start and who should you sit?
Who’s ready for some week seven action of both the NFL and fantasy football? There were some great games on last week and a few shocking results. We saw the Packers lose Aaron Rodgers, potentially for the season, which will definitely have fantasy owners jumping on the waiver wire.
Some quarterbacks likely still available in leagues are guys like Trevor Siemian, Tyrod Taylor, and if you’re really lucky… (sarcasm) C.J. Beathard of the 49ers! Okay, the first two aren’t terrible options, but hopefully if you owned Rodgers, you had someone decent on the bench. Perhaps you picked up an Andy Dalton or Carson Palmer when drafting your team.
Anyway, I made some great predictions with who to start and who to sit a week ago, but let’s take a look at my biggest hit and my biggest miss.
LEIGH’S HIT OF THE WEEK – STARTING DESHAUN WATSON
Sometimes you never know what you’ll get with a rookie quarterback, but when it comes to that rookie playing against the Cleveland Browns, the results are probably going to be pretty good. Deshaun Watson played magnificent once again, throwing for 225 yards and three touchdowns. Fantasy owners had to be pretty content with that performance.
LEIGH’S MISS OF THE WEEK – SITTING ADRIAN PETERSON
Ooh man. If you benched Adrian Peterson this week, you probably weren’t a happy camper. Peterson, in his inaugural game as a member of the Arizona Cardinals, rushed for 134 yards off 24 carries and found the end one twice. Hopefully you ignored my advice on this one.
Well, with that out of the way, let’s get to the main event! Who should you start and who should you sit this week?
