Week Seven of the season is in the books. Here are my winners, losers, and waiver wire wonders from the week. Let’s go!
Winners
QB – Tony Romo – Dallas Cowboys – 21 Completions, 29 Attempts, 311 Yards, 3 TD, 31 Yards Rushing
Romo finally had a performance worthy of his draft status this past week. He threw for 311 Yards and three touchdowns against Atlanta.
He faces the Seattle Seahawks this week and looks to be a safe play after two consecutive games with two or more Touchdowns.
QB – Carson Palmer – Cincinnati Bengals – 20 Completions, 24 Attempts, 233 Yards, 5 TD
This is the Carson Palmer we all remember before all the injuries. He threw for 233 Yards and five touchdowns last week against Chicago.
He looks to be back to his old self and should be a safe play after this week’s bye.
RB – Cedric Benson – Cincinnati Bengals – 37 Carries, 189 Yards, 1 TD
Benson smashed his old team last week and showed everyone that he means business. He ran for 189 Yards and scored his fifth touchdown. He now has 720 Yards in seven games and looks to be a must start after the bye.
RB – Shonn Greene – New York Jets – 19 Carries, 144 Yards, 2 TD
Greene finally saw his first real action of the season after Leon Washington went down last week. He took full advantage and ran for 144 Yards and scored twice.
With Washington now out for the year, Greene will get his half of the carries and looks to be fantasy relevant after Week Eight against a good Miami Run D.
RB – Ricky Williams – Miami Dolphins – 9 Carries, 80 Yards, 3 TD, 2 Receptions, 12 Yards
Williams has been excellent so far this year and had a monster game this past week against his former team. He rushed for 80 Yards on just nine carries and found the end zone three times against New Orleans.
He now has five Rushing Touchdowns on the year, which is one more than he had all of last year. He has a tough matchup this week against the Jets, but could be quite useful depending on the matchup.
WR – Miles Austin – Dallas Cowboys – 6 Receptions, 171 Yards, 2 TD
Austin proved last week that his week five performance was no fluke. He had six catches for 171 Yards and two Touchdowns last week against Atlanta.
He now has 16 Receptions for 421 Yards and four Touchdowns since becoming a starter. He looks to be a safe play this week against Seattle.
WR – Chad Ocho Cinco – Cincinnati Bengals – 10 Receptions, 118 Yards, 2 TD
Ocho Cinco has now put up back-to-back 100+ Yard games for the first time since weeks two and three of 2007.
He is back to being a top tier fantasy receiver and has 39 Receptions for 573 Yards and five Touchdowns on the year. He is a must-start receiver after the bye week.
WR – Wes Welker – New England Patriots – 10 Receptions, 107 Yards, 1 TD
Welker is healthy again and has 20 Receptions for 257 Yards and three Touchdowns in the last two games. He has 46 Receptions for 484 Yards and four Touchdowns in just five games.
He has a bye week this week, but is a must start Receiver after that.
TE – Owen Daniels – Houston Texans – 7 Receptions, 123 Yards, 1 TD
Owen Daniels has quickly become a top tier fantasy Tight End. He is Matt Schaub’s favorite target as of late, catching 22 balls for 295 Yards and three Touchdowns in the last three games.
He has 39 Receptions for 497 Yards and five Touchdowns on the year and should be started every week.
Losers
QB – JaMarcus Russell – Oakland Raiders – 6 Completions, 11 Attempts, 61 Yards, 0 TD, 2 INT, 1 FUM
