My FanDuel picks are at the bottom.\u00a0Last week, I went 13-7 in underachievers and overachievers, and went 15-5 and my best week of the year \u00a0in FanDuel. Let&#8217;s get to it.<\/p>\n<h4>Underachievers<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Carolina Panthers QB Cam Newton- He played great last week vs an overrated Seahawks defense and the Philadelphia Eagles defense will give him issues.<\/li>\n<li>Atlanta Falcons QB Matt Ryan- He is the QB of an undefeated team but fantasy wise has been average at best, there are better options.<\/li>\n<li>Jacksonville Jaguars QB Blake Bortles- He is a better fantasy QB than real life but this is a huge game for Rex Ryan and the Bills and I think his good run comes to an end this week.<\/li>\n<li>Seattle Seahawks RB Marshawn Lynch- \u00a0The 49ers have been solid on defense at home and his OL is still not opening any holes, way too TD dependent.<\/li>\n<li>Baltimore Ravens RB Justin Forsett- \u00a0Going on the road against a defense in Arizona that plays so much better at home is what looks to be a blowout.<\/li>\n<li>New England Patriots RB LeGarrette Blount- \u00a0This is not his week in playing the best run defense in the NFL in the Jets.<\/li>\n<li>New England Patriots WR Julian Edelman- \u00a0He has been so consistent but goes on Revis island this week, I see more of a Gronk high workload.<\/li>\n<li>Kansas City Cheifs WR Jeremy Maclin- \u00a0He had a concussion and defenses will continue to take theChiefs #1 offensive weapon away.<\/li>\n<li>Philadelphia Eagles WR Jordan Matthews- \u00a0He continues to drop every other pass and his QB is killing him as well, stay away unless Sanchez gets the job.<\/li>\n<li>Cleveland Browns TE Gary Barnidge- He has been a great story but I think the Rams slow down his touchdown run.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Overachievers<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>New York Giants QB Eli Manning- He usually rips up the Cowboys plus is much better at home.<\/li>\n<li>Miami Dolphins QB Ryan Tannehill- \u00a0The Houston defense is not good and Miami has some hop in their step with the new coach.<\/li>\n<li>Detroit Lions QB Mathew Stafford- \u00a0I think he might have finally found his nirvana in throwing deep to\u00a0Calvin Johnson and continues this week.<\/li>\n<li>Tampa Bay Buccaneers RB Doug Martin- \u00a0The Redskins defense has holes and they will be exposed for the 3rd week in a row.<\/li>\n<li>Carolina Panthers RB Jonathon Stewart- \u00a0 Last week was a mirage and his best game in year, Eagles give up nothing on the ground.<\/li>\n<li>Jacksonville Jaguars RB T.J Yeldon- \u00a0He is not healthy and I am expecting a huge effort in England from the Bills.<\/li>\n<li>Indianapolis Colts WR Donte Moncrief- \u00a0He is a must start every week and looks to be Andrew Luck&#8217;s favorite target.<\/li>\n<li>Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Mike Evans- This is a pure hunch, if he does not go big this week, it may not happen.<\/li>\n<li>Washington Redskins WR Pierre Garcon- \u00a0He is their only real weapon in the passing game and should pile up the targets.<\/li>\n<li>Buffalo Bills TE Charles Clay- He has a great match up and should dominate the targets with no\u00a0Sammy Watkins and Percy Harvin.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Here are my FanDuel picks for the week where I will give some higher and lower salaries I like at each position. As you will see, I will be focusing on the defenses to pick on:<\/p>\n<h4>QB<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Arizona Cardinals QB Carson Palmer, $8,400: \u00a0The best match up of the week.<\/li>\n<li>New York Giants QB ELi Manning, $7,800: He plays so well vs the Cowboys and at home.<\/li>\n<li>Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Jameis Winston, $6,500: The best cheap option of the week.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>RB<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Atlanta Falcons RB Devonta Freeman, $8,700: \u00a0He has to be in every lineup.<\/li>\n<li>St Louis Rams RB Todd Gurley, $7,400: \u00a0Expect 25 touches against the worst run defense in the NFL.<\/li>\n<li>Tampa Buccaneers RB Doug Martin, $7,200: \u00a0 The Redskins last two games against the run have been awful.<\/li>\n<li>Oakland Raiders RB Latavius Murray, $7,000: He had the week off and the Chargers will be worn down from the Packers game last week.<\/li>\n<li>Miami Dolphins RB Lamar Miller, $6,700: Nice price for a possible 20 touches.<\/li>\n<li>Detroit Lions RB Theo Riddick, , $5,200: \u00a0If you go bog at other areas this is a safe 8-11 points.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>WR<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Houston Texans WR\u00a0DeAndre Hopkins, $9,200: Just pay the man.<\/li>\n<li>Miami Dolphins WR Jarvis Landry, $7,100- \u00a0He was the focus of the new coach last week.<\/li>\n<li>Arizona Cardinals WR John Brown, $6,700: \u00a0The Ravens have maybe the worst pass defense, a bargain<\/li>\n<li>Indianapolis Colts WR Donte Moncrief, $6,500: \u00a0I expect a huge game and you have to go cheaper somewhere.<\/li>\n<li>Miami Dolphins WR Rishard Mathews, $6,400: A sneaky pick who gets 8-10 targets.<\/li>\n<li>Washington Redskins WR Pierre Garcon, $6,100: \u00a0My best cheap option of the week.<\/li>\n<li>Minnesota Vikings WR Stefon Diggs, $5,800: \u00a0A safe 6-8 points.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>TE<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>San Diego Chargers TE Antonio Gates, $5,800: Came back strong last week, and this is the cheapest he will be the rest of the way.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div>Thank you for reading and have a great week, feel free to ask any questions here or\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/dvond\">on Twitter.<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome to Week 7!\u00a0For standard leagues, I&#8217;ll pick some players outside the top 10 and 15 who I think will play well as well as some higher rated players who I see underachieving using\u00a0the ESPN rankings.
