Week 7 Fantasy Football Rankings: Mike Wallace and More Great WR Plays

Calvin Johnson is always a great play. Unless you're playing against me, I would strongly advise that you leave him on the bench.

But besides Calvin Johnson, which receivers are due to give their opponents nightmares? Remember that PPR and yards machine Wes Welker is on a bye this week.

Mike Wallace

Wallace has had one game this season where he failed to hit 100 yards or score a touchdown. In fact, he's accomplished both of those twice.

The fact is that Wallace is a great play in both PPR leagues and leagues that reward big plays. He's one of the best deep ball receivers in the game today and has a quarterback that plays to his strengths in Ben Roethlisberger.

Wallace has never failed to reach 75 yards this season. He's about as dependable of an option as there is in the NFL.

Greg Jennings

Given the immense passing game of the Packers, just about any one of their receivers is a good fantasy play most of the time. The problem is that it's easy to get lost in the shuffle.

But that's not a fear for Jennings. His 35 receptions lead all other Packers' weapons by 12 and any receiver by 15.

He's clearly the favored target of Aaron Rodgers, which does not bode well for fantasy owners opposing him. The Minnesota defense has had a hard time stopping receivers this year.

They could focus on Jennings and make Rodgers beat them with his other weapons, but Jennings will not be shut down. As a matter of fact, he will torch the Vikings.

Brandon Marshall

There is always an element of gambling when you're thinking of playing Marshall, but take a look at his numbers last week:

Against the Jets, he caught six passes for 109 yards. No, he didn't catch a touchdown, but he was against Darrelle Revis.

The Broncos don't have Darrelle Revis. As a matter of fact, their secondary is quite vulnerable. The problem with Marshall is that his quarterback isn't at all consistent, but look for a big game from Marshall against his former teammates.
