Week 7 Fantasy Football Start Em Sit Em: Tim Tebow, Colt McCoy or Cam Newton?

If you had Tim Tebow, Colt McCoy or Cam Newton for Week 7 of fantasy football, which one would you choose?

Cam Newton

Newton has been great in fantasy football in terms of numbers. He has recorded 1,847 yards and seven touchdowns through the air.

Not only can he put up numbers through the air but also on the ground. He has changed the dynamics in Carolina even if he hasn’t brought many wins. He, at least, has kept the Panthers in games they wouldn’t have been in last season.

Carolina will host the Washington Redskins on Sunday. Washington is ninth against the pass and 11^th against the rush.

Newton will need to limit his turnover problems (nine interceptions, one fumble) if he wants to give the Panthers their second victory of the season.

Tim Tebow

In his first start of 2011, Tebow and the Denver Broncos play the Miami Dolphins on the road. Miami is winless in 2011.

They have the 29^th worst pass defense and 12^th worst rush defense in the NFL. Tebow will be going back to the state where he has had so much support and success in the past.

Tebow has a great opportunity to win the game on Sunday. Is he a fantasy quarterback that you can trust?

No way.

At least wait until he has one start this season before giving him the nod over Newton and McCoy.

Colt McCoy

Colt McCoy has posted 1,199 yards, eight touchdowns and three interceptions in 2011. If you are going to trust one of these three quarterbacks to not turn the ball over, McCoy would be your option.

He has yet to throw more interceptions than touchdowns through five games. If McCoy could complete more of his passes (55.8 percent) he would be in good shape for the rest of the season.

McCoy and the Cleveland Browns host Seattle at 1 pm on Sunday. The Seahawks are giving up 269 yards per game, 23^rd in the league.

You must remember that this is fantasy football. If you want consistency, McCoy would be your guy. If you want to win, Tebow may be your guy. But, if you want fantasy points – especially in 10 yards per point leagues – I would go with Newton.

Newton can get you yards through the air and on the ground. His scrambling, play-making ability allows him to use his legs to get into the end zone. If you are looking for points, I believe that Newton may be your best play in Week 7.
