Fantasy Football Talk. Week 7.

Re: Fantasy Football Talk. Week 7.

FOX Sports' Jay Glazer reports the Seahawks have traded Percy Harvin to the Jets for a conditional pick.
NFL Network's Ian Rapoport adds that the compensation is expected to be a mid-round pick. The timing of the trade is surprising, as Harvin is currently dealing with a thigh injury and was listed as questionable this week. The moves leaves the Seahawks with just Doug Baldwin and Jermaine Kearse as their top two receivers, while Jets GM John Idzik is using his Seattle ties in an attempt to upgrade Geno Smith's supporting cast

Ray Rice's replacement keeps piling up yards

Justin Forsett is quietly having an outstanding season, which is surprising.
Back in August, the expectation was that Ray Rice would be Baltimore’s leading rusher, and that Bernard Pierce would be the No. 2 guy there.
They also drafted Lorenzo Taliaferro, which had me wondering in August if Forsett would even make that team. Not that I spent too much time thinking about it. I didn’t think there was any chance of Forsett being a significant player this year.
But Rice is gone, Pierce has underachieved and Taliaferro looks more like a backup than a starter. Forsett is the starter there, and he keeps playing well week after week.
Entering Week 7, Forsett is averaging 6.4 yards per carry. That’s a yard more than any of the other 48 running backs with at least 40 carries.

Re: Fantasy Football Talk. Week 7.

Seattle defense vs Rams or Texans vs Pitt on MNF both teams playing on the road?

Re: Fantasy Football Talk. Week 7.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports Jimmy Graham (shoulder, questionable) plans to play, but won't start Week 7 against the Lions.
In other words, the Saints will use Graham in red-zone packages.

I would start Seattle for sure. Good luck whichever way you go

If I had to choose between the two. I think I would side with them as well.

Re: Fantasy Football Talk. Week 7.

A.J. Green (toe) has been ruled out for Week 7 against the Colts.
As expected.

Re: Fantasy Football Talk. Week 7.

CBS Sports' Jason La Canfora reports suspended RB Ray Rice could be reinstated by mid-November.
"An appeal hearing date has been set, with a final decision expected to come in an expeditious manner thereafter, and all of that could be resolved by mid-November," writes La Canfora. Rice maintains he didn't lie in his initial hearing with Roger Goodell, arguing he should only be suspended a maximum of six games as a first-time offender. Many believe Rice has an "exceedingly strong" case, and he could be available to sign with a team within four weeks.

AND sources are saying he'll be "used in redzone situations only".

Who knows, but if I had him I'd start him, unless I had another top 5 TE. I'm watching him in warmups and he's looking good catching the ball - but I'm no doctor.

Mark Ingram (hand) is officially active against the Lions Week 7.

Jake Locker (thumb) is inactive for Week 7 against the Redskins.

Calvin Johnson (ankle) is inactive for the Lions' Week 7 game against the Saints.

Re: Fantasy Football Talk. Week 7.

Denard "Shoelace" Robinson is the Jaguars' starting tailback in Week 7 against the Browns.
They're giving Robinson the nod over rookie Storm Johnson, who struggled last week against the Titans. Robinson has more versatility, but hasn't been effective as a rusher this season.
