Week 7 Fantasy Football Rankings: Why DeMarco Murray and Tim Tebow Are Stars

Here are the one-hit wonders of the NFL. Chance, fate and injury have culminated to allow Tim Tebow and DeMarco Murray to reap the rewards normally left for fantasy stars.

Now is not the time to put the hopes of your season into these two men. They will be lucky to duplicate their Week 7 effort at any time this season. 

I am not here to say they are NFL busts, rather that their time will come. Consider Week 7 a brief window into their bright futures.

They have the perfect opportunity to show us what they have for one shining moment, and you don't want to miss out. Here are your two unlikely fantasy heroes that you should rip from your starting lineup as soon as their games are over.

Tim Tebow

Let's address the elephant in the room. Broncos fans have been waiting two long and arduous weeks to see their savior get his first start of the season. 

The fact that the Broncos dealt Brandon Lloyd assures us they have tweaked the offense to keep Tebow behind center for the long haul.

I just don't see him flourishing each and every week like Cam Newton has. He doesn't have the precision with his throws, at least not yet. That being said, the game against the Miami Dolphins is perfect for him to rack up a bevy of fantasy points. 

The Dolphins have pretty much given up on the season. At least, that is what I saw in their body language last week. Tebow will pound the ball down their throats, leaving the passing yards to be icing on the cake.

DeMarco Murray

Felix Jones' injury is DeMarco Murray's chance to shine. All the signs point to Murray getting the nod as the starting running back this weekend.

If he doesn't, he will get the bulk of the touches. Murray has improved with each rep he has been given, giving me confidence that this is his week to break out as an important cog of the future. 

Jones will get his job back when he is healthy, but Murray will have to get more reps when he struts his stuff against a dreadful Rams teams. 

If you are in need of a running back or quarterback during another bye week, you can't go wrong with either player.
