The NFL's Week 7 begins tonight and it will likely present the season's most daunting challenge for fantasy owners.
Six teams will be off this week: Atlanta Falcons, Denver Broncos, Kansas City Chiefs, Miami Dolphins, Philadelphia Eagles, San Diego Chargers.
Several marquee players at every fantasy position have been swallowed up by those byes.
We've done our best to identify the players on your bench and other bye week replacements that deserve a start this week, and the guys we believe you should have tempered expectations for.
The advice is based on standard 10-team leagues.
START: Andrew Luck, Indianapolis Colts Quarterback vs. CLE
Well, things didn't exactly pan out for Luck last week against the Jets. He threw for 280 yards and two interceptions. The Browns will give Luck a great chance to bounce back, though, giving up the most throwing touchdowns (15) in the league.
Season Total: 118/221, 1,488 yards, 7 TDs, 7 INTs
17 carries, 103 yards, 1 TD
SIT: Matt Schaub, Houston Texans Quarterback vs. BAL
Don't let Schaub's reputation fool you, he's been thoroughly underwhelming so far this season. Schaub hasn't eclipsed 300 yards this season and has three games with one touchdown or fewer. He squares off against the Ravens secondary this week, that has given up four pass touchdowns all year.
Season Total (5 gms.): 117/185, 1,394 yards, 8 TDs, 4 INTs
START: Chris Johnson, Tennessee Titans Running Back at BUF
After terrorizing fantasy owners for the majority of the season's early stages and remaining firmly planted on most team's benches, the performances and matchup are finally there to feel good enough about starting Johnson this week.
Season Total: 92 carries, 301 yards
19 catches, 109 yards
