Week 7 Fantasy Football's Recap: Flirting With Perfection!

By Fantasy Doctor X.

Picking games or anticipating a player’s production is not an exact science, but it does take diligence in researching match-ups, injuries, the players themselves, and an instinct on whether or not they will do well that day or not. 

I recommend you not go to Vegas with my predictions, but you can complain about the good results that I have accrued this week.

How did I do in week 7, predicting Fantasy Football's starts and sits then?

Well, let’s just say I didn’t fare that badly.
Actually, not bad at all!

In my starts section, I was right in 10 out of 14 for a 71.4 percent clip.

My sit section is where I predicted 17 out 18 calls right, for a 94.4 percent correct rate.

I was right on the money on my “Start of the week,” Chris Johnson (168 yards and 1 TD), even tough LenDale White had me sweating for most of the game until Johnson broke a 66-yard TD run.

Ryan Grant finally broke...

the century mark (105 yards rushing) and found the endzone.

Thomas Jones didn’t score, but did he run wild? He had 159 yards on the day.

Steve Slaton had to split some yards with Ahman Green but still managed 80 yards and a TD.

Bills QB Trent Edwards threw for 261 yards and one TD with no INTs.

Matt Schaub had six more yards than Edwards (267) with one TD and zero INTs as well.

Dan Orlovsky, yes I know that was risky, passed for 265 and one TD with no picks either. Schaub-like numbers, if you will.

Jeff Garcia surpassed the 300-yard mark with one TD pass and no INTs.

Note that all my suggested starts at QB didn’t throw a single interception.

On to the WRs now. Derrick Mason hauled in six balls for 87 yards and one score.

Antonio Bryant, whom I advised starting with Garcia as a combo, if possible, had a good 115 yards on six catches and a TD.

My “misses” in the start section were four.

I was wrong with two Tight Ends (I swear TEs should be abolished from fantasy football play): Dustin Keller one catch-six yards, and Robert Royal four catches-53 yards.

Then, two WRs: Muhsin Muhammad had three receptions for 43 yards, and Torry Holt who could only muster three catches for 51 yards.

My “Sit” section is where I flirted with perfection. I could have achieved it hadn’t I sinned of presumption.

I already had declared Ron McClain a sit for Baltimore, and his week 7 numbers (17 yards) showed. Not content with that, I had to suggest sitting Willis McGahee as well.

It turned out to be a terrible mistake as he rushed for 105 yards, caught two passes for another 47, and scored a rushing TD.

McGahee was my only miss for the week...

Rest of the report...
