You Can Get With This or You Can Get With That Week 7

Get with Brett Favre not with Joe Flacco

The Seahawks new RB is worth a start in Week 7 (Seattle P-I)

This week I’m sure the Ravens will be a popular survivor pick against the Bills (for those of you lucky enough to still be in your survivor leagues), but I don’t think this cake game will be beneficial for the Ravens passing numbers. The only two teams that have needed to throw for more than 200 yards against the Bills were the pass happy Pats and Packers, and that’s because those were two of the closer games the Bills have been lucky enough to find themselves in. The Ravens Defense, with the possible return of Ed Reed, will not allow this game to be close. The Ravens run all over the Bills and Flacco’s chances will be limited this week.

Brett Favre loves big games, and last year he loved facing his old team. In his two meetings against them last year, he had over 500 yards and 7 TD’s. This year he has Randy Moss. I think this Sunday night game on primetime will be a high scoring affair. Both defenses are banged up and both teams really need a win. Favre doesn’t disappoint this week.

Get with Marshawn Lynch not with Cedric Benson

Cedric Benson finally topped 100 yards in his team’s last game a couple weeks ago against Tampa Bay, but I think the going will be much tougher this week in Atlanta. The Falcons are a solid team and their stout defense is 9th in the league against the run. After a bad loss against the Eagles, they will be rearing to go this week against Cincinnati. As the Eagles showed last week, you have to pass against the Falcons, who will be without their top corner due to a concussion, if you want to win.

Beast Mode is back now that Lynch has found a new home on a team that didn’t trade for him for him to ride the bench. Last week Lynch got 17 carries, and I think that number will increase as Lynch has had more time to acclimate himself to the new offense. The Seahawks will also go against the Cardinals who are 29th in the league against the run. Seattle always plays well at home and this week Lynch will be a big part of that.

Get With Terrell Owens not with Dwayne Bowe

One good week doesn’t mean Dwayne Bowe is back. Dwayne Bowe has been maddeningly inconsistent these past couple years with Matt Cassel at QB. Bowe is a great athlete and is capable of great things, but he simply cannot be counted on to deliver a solid fantasy performance. He is also against one of the better cornerbacks in the league in Rashean Mathis. Always beware of a defensive back with dreads.

Terrell Owens, on the other hand, is not getting the respect that his last couple of games should be earning him. The man has 325 yards and 2 TD’s the past two weeks as he has established himself as the go-to-guy for Carson Palmer. We’ve already determined that the Bengals will have to throw, and T.O. will be the main beneficiary.
