Wacko?


Some things just weren't meant to happen. In week six, the Baltimore Ravens (4-2 quarterback Joe Flacco stole the spotlight from Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton and his 107 rushing yards with a 306 yard, five touchdown performance, defeating Tampa Bay (1-5) 48-17 on Sunday.

The 6' 6" Delaware graduate had actually thrown four touchdowns by halftime. The Ravens were flying high Sunday afternoon, but now it's time to move on to face the Falcons.
With that said, let's move on to sleepers for week 7, shall we?

Byes: Philadelphia, Tampa Bay



QB
Derek Carr (Oak vs Ari) Arizona's defense yields 309 passing yards per game, which is last in the NFL.
Brian Hoyer (Cle @ Jac) It's Jacksonville.
Teddy Bridgewater (Min @ Buf) The Bills pass defense ranks 26th (269.2 pass ypg) going against the dynamic rookie signal-caller. Bridgewater should fill in nicely for a QB on bye.
RB
Ahmad Bradshaw (Ind vs Cin) Bradshaw is squaring off against a defensive unit that is giving up over 140 rushing yards per game. Plus Bradshaw has more receptions than AJ Green, Larry Fitzgerald and Roddy White.
Ben Tate (Cle @ Jac)
Joique Bell (Det vs NO)
WR
James Jones (Oak vs Ari)
Andrew Hawkins (Cle @ Jac) Hawkins is clearly the Browns' best receiver playing against a horrible Jaguars defense.
Markus Wheaton (Pit vs Hou)
TE
Levine Toilolo (Atl @ Bal) The 6' 8" second-year Stanford product should get red zone targets on size alone in week seven.
Larry Donnell (NYG @ Dal)
Jordan Reed (Was vs Ten) The Titans secondary is vunerable, allowing 19 passing plays over twenty yards through six games.
DEF
New England vs NYJ
Pittsburgh vs Hou
Buffalo vs Min





QB
Andy Dalton (Cin @ Ind)
Alex Smith (KC @ SD)
RB
Chris Johnson (NYJ @ NE)
Steven Jackson (Atl @ Bal)

Survival Mode


Only the elite of quarterbacks can read a defensive play pre-snap. It's similar to being able to tell the very near future based on personnel and body language.

Guess what's about to happen next....? Sleepers for week 5.

Before we employ bye week dilemmas, it's only fair that the top Fantasy player from week 4 be recognized.
Eli Manning and the 1-2 Giants went into Landover last Thursday night with apparent intentions of beating the Washington Redskins (1-3) by the score of 45-14 because that's exactly what they did. By the game's end Manning had thrown for 300 yards 4 touchdowns in victorious fashion. Eli looks forward to Atlanta in the Meadowlands on Sunday.

Byes: Miami, Oakland




QB
Mike Glennon (TB vs NO) 
Ryan Fitzpatrick (Hou @ Bal)
Shaun Hill (Det @ Phi)

RB
Matt Asiata (Min @ GB)
Bishop Sankey (Ten Vs Cle) The Browns possess a defensive unit that yields 153.7 yards per game. Plus the rookie is beginning to see an increased workload in total touches going forward.
Khiry Robinson (NO vs TB)


WR
Markus Wheaton (Pit @ Jac)
Golden Tate (Det vs Buf) Buffalo's defense ranks 25th (278.5 rec ypg) in the NFL against air attacks through four games. Tate should be a solid sleeper if your player is on bye.
Brandin Cooks (NO vs TB)

TE
Larry Donnell (NYG vs Atl) Donnell has been targeted thirty-one times which is 5th among tight ends in 2014.
Travis Kelce (KC @ SF)
Jordan Cameron (Cle @ Ten)

Philadelphia @ Jac
Indianapolis vs Bal
