Let’s take a look at a few of the players that fantasy owners are following like crazy for Week 7.

Shaun Hill (SF, QB): Hill still has his starting job, though I really can’t remember the last time any fantasy owner cared about a 49er quarterback. Nonetheless, Michael Crabtree debuts, so he should definitely help in the passing game—and ultimately for Hill’s job security. Hill is a great choice as a QB2 this week.

Eli Manning (NYG, QB): He’s been struggling with a foot injury as of late but looks good to go. Eli should post top 10 stats for his owners this week against the Cardinals’ secondary.

Aaron Rodgers (GB, QB): His foot looks good to go for this weekend’s juicy matchup against the Cleveland Browns. A sure-fire top five QB starter.

Mike Bell (NO, RB): He averaged 2.3 yards per carry but scored last week as well. The New Orleans running backs are going to run into a brick wall this weekend—also known as the Miami Dolphins defense. Sit Bell, knowing that he may just punch one in this weekend.

Justin Fargas (OAK, RB): Ya know, that Oakland rushing offense may not be as bad as we think. Seriously.

Fargas averaged 3.8 yards per carry and got the bulk of the carries against Philadelphia. I like the Jets matchup more than most. Expect modest RB2 numbers out of Fargas, even with Michael Bush sharing carries. Fargas can also be used as a flex.

Laurence Maroney (NE, RB): Maybe, just maybe this guy can be fantasy relevant again. The Tampa rush defense is terrible, so Maroney should have a field day as the lead back. Of course, who knows with Belichick’s gameplanning. Yes, Maroney is a RB1 this week.

Jonathan Stewart (CAR, RB): He practiced on Friday, but is still listed as questionable for the Bills game. The Bills’ rushing defense is a pretty big joke, so look for solid RB2 numbers IF he plays.

Austin Collie (IND, WR): If there is anyone that can pull what Tom Brady did last week to the Titans, it’s Peyton Manning. He is going to light up the St. Louis Rams, and Collie will be a big beneficiary.

If he is still available in your league (and I don’t know why he would be), he is absolutely worth picking up. Collie is a great WR2 this week.

Michael Crabtree (SF, WR): The talented former holdout is going to make his debut this weekend. Did you roster him in your league? Well, your league better be damn deep. Crabtree has a decent matchup at Houston, but with Shaun Hill throwing to him, temper your expectations for this week.

Mike Wallace (PIT, WR): Wallace has had two catches per game in the last three games he’s played. He isn’t getting enough targets at the moment, but Pittsburgh has carved out a nice role for him in the passing game. He isn’t worth starting against Minnesota this weekend, but stash him away for potential late-season value.
