I’m all-in on Dustin Keller for two reasons: A) the Jets are going to be down a lot, which means there will be a lot of junk time and B) Keller is the best offensive weapon available so I expect him to receive the lions share of the targets.

I do not understand why Scott Chandler is so high in the rankings (average of 7). A lot of fantasy owners may look at the total number of points he’s amassed and believe he’s a reliable fantasy tight end. Most of his fantasy value comes from touchdowns, which is hard to forecast and repeat. Feast of famine tight ends like Chandler (I’m looking at you Vernon Davis) are options I try to avoid.

Colby Fleener is due for a big day. Joe Hayden will blanket Reggie Wayne all day and Luck will have to find the next best receiving option. I believe it will be Fleener.

After being all-in on Andrew Luck I’ve put my foot on the brakes. I have him ranked 17 which is far lower than the average ranking of 9. Cleveland has a very good defense and Joe Hayden will be neutralize Luck’s favorite weapon in Reggie Wayne. If Luck had better throwing options I would feel more confident, but none of his options have not stepped up at all.

I love Jay Cutler this week. In fact I love most quarterbacks playing against the bad Lions defense. A lot of people use the cliche of how Lions will get amped up for the game because it is on Monday night. I don’t see that happening and I see a big game in the passing game for the Bears.

Ryan Fitzpatrick and Matt Hasselbeck are great bye week fillins. The Titans defense is the worst in the league and Bills are four spots ahead of them. I expect this game to be a shootout with the primary benefactors being your fantasy team.

Week 7 NFL Football Game Picks

by Matt Commins Posted on October 20, 2012

Below are my picks for Week 7:

Game I Love:

New Orleans.I see some places where the line is actually -1. Even with Jimmy Graham not active I feel confident the Saints can walk away with a win (it will be a close game). The Bucs has an underrated defense and Doug Martin should have a big day, but at the end of the day I’m not a believer in the Josh Freeman at all. With a toss up line like this I trust Drew Brees.

Pittsburgh. The line opened at -2.5 Pittsburgh so a lot of money is on the Bengals, which I do not understand. The Bengals are a bad football team; they can’t run the ball, their secondary is in the bottom third of the league and Andy Dalton overrated.
