Week 7 Fantasy Football Sleepers: Matt Cassel and Quarterbacks You Must Start

Week 7 is on the horizon, and so is another high-octane weekend of fantasy football.

As the NFL continues to become a pass-first league, more and more quarterbacks are putting up astronomical numbers. That's good news for fantasy football owners.

Take a closer look at these three sleepers, who are certainly worth starting in Week 7:

Matt Cassel (Kansas City Chiefs)

Cassel and the Chiefs are taking on the Oakland Raiders at the Coliseum on Sunday. Look for Kansas City's offense to make some waves.

Cassel has seven touchdowns and just one interception in his last three games. What's more, the bye week should have the Chiefs offensive line well-rested ahead of this weekend.

Colt McCoy (Cleveland Browns)

McCoy is taking on a bad Seattle Seahawks defense at home this week—why not start him?

The former Texas Longhorn has been far better than worse in 2011, throwing for eight touchdowns and just three interceptions in five games for Cleveland. 

Josh Freeman (Tampa Bay Buccaneers)

Bucs quarterback Josh Freeman has struggled thus far in 2011, despite his team's 4-2 record.

However, this week, Freeman takes on the Bears' shaky defense in London. Chicago looked solid in Week 6 against Minnesota, but that was against the 1-5 Vikings.

Freeman is close to balancing out his touchdown-to-interception ratio, and this is likely the week he gets over the hump.
