Fantasy Football Over/Under: Week 7

Here's how it works. We throw some intriguing matchups at the FanHouse staff and ask whether each player will be over or under a certain point total. The result? Fantasy Football Over/Under. Makes sense, right?

We correctly forecasted the Drew Brees explosion and Eli Manning implosion, while I hit the nail on the head with regards to Matt Hasselbeck. Not that I'm 100 percent right -- I was the only one wrong about Steve Slaton last week. We were accurate about Julius Jones and Chris Johnson, and if you want to check the rest of last week's picks, refer to this link.


Normal scoring (passing 20/4, rushing/receiving 10/6) applies. Benchmarks:

QB - 18 points (200 yards passing, 2 TDs; 220 yards passing, 2 TDs, 1 INT, etc)
RB1 - 16 points (100 yards and 1 TD)
RB2 - 10 points (100 yards, zero TDs; 40 yards, 1 TD)
WR1 - 14 points (80 yards and 1 TD)
WR2 - 10 points (100 yards, zero TDs; 40 yards, 1 TD)
WR3 - 8 points (80 yards, zero TDs; 20 yards, 1 TD)
FLEX - 6 points (60 yards or a TD)
TE - 6 points (60 yards or a TD)

• At quarterback, we're all sticking with the QB1, Matt Schaub, to have a good game despite playing a pretty solid opponent. With what he's accomplished, Schaub is in that rarefied air with Peyton Manning and Drew Brees as must-starts every week -- that is, until he suffers his yearly injury.

• Never though I would see the majority of our guys against Adrian Peterson for a big day, but he has a very tough matchup this week. Only Ryan likes AD to post RB1 numbers. Most of us love Frank Gore to make a triumphant return to the San Francisco offense.

• We're unanimously for Joseph Addai as an RB2 this week, which means he probably makes a pretty good RB1 for Week 7 as well. We're in unity that Rashard Mendenhall will struggle to put up RB2 numbers against the Williams Wall and the Minnesota Vikings.

• Only Chad Ochocinco draws unanimous support for WR1 numbers this week. I'm very pessimistic about Randy Moss' chances across the pond. I wouldn't dream of benching him, but I'm not expecting a whole lot. As a group, we're 50/50 on Greg Jennings to return to WR1 status this week.

• Gotta love Hines Ward, who's been playing at WR1 level for the last six weeks. Santonio who? Ward is a must start every week, and we all think he'll cross our WR2 threshold. On the flip side, no one is excited about Santana Moss on Monday night, which is likely a combination of his inept offense and the pass defense of his opponent, the Eagles.

• Yes, please to Hakeem Nicks to continue his string of big games. No, thank you to Lee Evans, who scratched together a TD against the Jets but still isn't starter-worthy with just one solid recent effort.

• At your flex, we're all buying Larry Johnson to excel against the San Diego run defense. Despite three people taking Lance Moore as a WR3, no one really likes Robert Meachem at the flex this week. We're split down the middle on what to do with Michael Crabtree in his first game.
