Week 7 Start 'Em, Sit 'Em: Tim Tebow, Matt Moore and 5 QBs You Must Sit

Zach KruseOct 21, 2011

When setting your fantasy football lineups for Week 7 of the NFL season, consider these five quarterbacks as bench players:

Tim Tebow, Denver Broncos

It's going to be tough to sit Tebow in 12-man leagues this week, especially with guys like Tom Brady, Michael Vick and Eli Manning on byes. However, don't get lost in the Tebow mania that's about to sweep the nation.

An underrated factor in the Broncos trade of Brandon Lloyd was just how much Tebow went to him in his three NFL starts last season. He won't be there on Sunday in Miami, where the pregame hype surrounding Tebow's return to the state of Florida will be huge. 

Matt Moore, Miami Dolphins

I don't think a lot of the Dolphins' struggles on Monday night were attributable to Moore. What's more, the Broncos defense is a huge step down from the Jets.

That being said, I'd bet on the Dolphins to attack Denver on the ground, both early and often. As a result, it will limit what Moore can do against one of the worst passing defenses in fantasy football.

Even with some upside potential in this matchup, you can't afford to roll the dice with Moore as your fantasy starter.

Blaine Gabbert, Jacksonville Jaguars

The rookie has certainly taken some lumps in his first couple of NFL starts.

This week, it won't get any easier for Blaine Gabbert when the Ravens travel to Jacksonville for a Monday night, nationally televised game.

Don't even think about starting him in that matchup.

Mark Sanchez, New York Jets

The Chargers are the fifth-best fantasy defense against opposing quarterbacks, which means trouble for almost any signal-caller in the game.

However, it's especially troubling for Sanchez. The third-year QB simply isn't on a level to do the kind of damage that an elite quarterback (Tom Brady, 423 yards) can do against San Diego.

Keep Sanchez on your bench unless you absolutely need to play him as a bye week sub.

Sam Bradford, St. Louis Rams

We don't even know if Bradford is going to play on Sunday against the Cowboys, which is the first red flag we encounter when we look at the Rams quarterback.

The former first overall draft pick is listed as questionable with a sprained ankle that he suffered against Green Bay. Dallas has also done a fine job at limiting opposing quarterbacks this season. Stay away from Bradford for this week.
