Fantasy Football 2017 - Week 7 Studs & Duds, Rising Stars, Mr. Cooper

It was not his. Sure. But he definitely could have broken a tackle. But Henry is the type of player. Henry's like Peterson. It's like Adrian Peterson in New Orleans. If you aren't going to give him the ball 20 plus times and let him grind it out, we can take those hit points away from the defense and then eventually start hitting chunk yardage. Derek Henry is.

This is an offense that doesn't look the same as last year either. There are another one we expected to be good. The offensive line hasn't lived up to the billing. And DeMarco Murray played in this game. Last minute start. Oh, man. He did. And he still, the snaps were there. He scored. This was still a better game for DeMarco Murray. He's definitely the better one to own rest of season. Well, DeMarco Murray, I don't believe DeMarco Murray scored this last week.

But he was still good. 18 carries on the ground for 59 yards, three receptions for 17. He hasn't looked himself, but he is the number one. If your team is doing well in the record department, they're on by this week, which I think is going to tremendously help Murray and Marriota. DeMarco Murray is a guy I still believe in rest of season. All right, guys, we have some wide receiver poopers. Let's start with Eric Decker. Oof.

He got goose. Straight up goose by Decker. And Jordy Nelson, Devante Adams, and Randall Cobb. They did their best. That's the bigger problem. They did their best attempt at gooseing. Look, you had four targets for Jordy, five for Adams, four for Cobb. It was an absolute disaster. A grand total of five receptions between. See, Rogers didn't get hurt by himself. Rogers apparently got hurt with all of his receivers in tow. What do you do if you're a Jordy owner? What do you do if you're an Adams owner? This is the Brett Hunley experience.

This is where I still think, Jordy, you're a tear down and you're going to have bad games. But he is still the number one for the team. The guy that I'm the most afraid of is Devante Adams. I said this last week because he's been so touchdown reliant and that's what's going to go poof. I just hope everything doesn't go poof. So here's the thing. In the game, he took over for Rogers. I mean, he played the majority of the game. Correct? Yes.

Rodgers went out early in the first. 157 passing yards. Okay. Now he's got some time to plan and be ready. 87 passing yards. That sucks. That's beyond suck. Sub 100 passing yards. That's unacceptable. In today's NFL, you should be easily, easily able to clear 100. I mean, it's a feat, a truly a feat that Brent Hunley was sub.

100 passing here. So are you, are you? I'm freaked out. At home. At home. Against New Orleans. So do you divest all packers as fast as possibly? We can talk all about Aaron Jones Rising Star, but if it becomes a C.G. Anderson-Semian situation where all you got to do is stop the run and force Brett Huntley to not pass well, then you are, I mean, do you just divest this? Jordan Nelson still got the name. Yeah, I think you might, but Jason, to be fair.

You're talking about the future Super Bowl winning New Orleans Saints. You mean like me and you predict the beginning of the end? Yeah, we did. Yeah, eat that one. That looks a lot better. It looks a lot better. And it did after that first game. T.Y. Hilton, two for 27 called out his O line. Good for you, T.Y. Hilton. Well, really? Yes. It is his O line. Well, and the quarterback. 10 sacks. I think it's fair to call them out. Every time your O line gives up 10 sacks, you can call them out. That's the rule. Right.

Gentlemen rules no longer apply. You give up 10 sacks. I can put you on blast. It has to be unbelievably frustrating for just that entire team. So clearly it bubbled out. Martavis Bryant. Cut him. This is. Yes. Are you talking to the Steelers? No. No. I'm talking to for fantasy purposes. He's been all over the place with the reports coming out.

from beat reporters. You saw his Instagram yesterday. I did not. Yeah, he came out and said how much worse Juju Smith-Schuster is than he is on his Instagram. Did he say how much worse or did he say he's not better than me? There's two very different things. He said that. He said he's not better than me? Yeah. Okay, that's what I figured he would have said. But he also then deleted that. He doesn't want to be there. He also came out and said,

you guys can have juju and whoever else you want as soon as I get what I want, which was to leave, which is not normally the way you want a wide receiver to treat the team after you win. Yeah, I was going to say they won the game, right? Yeah, they're looking strong. Yeah, you have to, you cut them from your roster. Like I said, this was the squeaky wheel game where the reports were back from, oh, he's going to be traded to, we're going to feature him this week. And they featured him with two targets.

And one carry. Did we make any Sammy Watkins' bets, Jason? Or did you hold off on that because of Patrick Peterson? No, I do not believe we made any because Patrick Peterson. I just barely beat you with the James White Dionne Lewis bet. Yeah, Dionne Lewis almost doubled the yardage of James White. But you got the touchdown. 13.6 to 10. So you won there. However, I won our other water bet, which I can't remember. We had three of them. We had three of them. Yeah. Larry Fitzgerald outside the top 17. There it is. Yeah.

You totally called that Carson Palmer injury. I was actually disappointed because he was sucking with Palmer. And then I was like, he still had plenty of time, though. Sure. It would have happened, though. What was the other top seven bet that we had? CJ Anderson. Oh, okay. So you're getting wet. We both are. Okay. You could do it together. Yeah. Sammy was three for four, three for 42. He's not startable. Plain and simple. You can't start him right now until something changes in that offense. To be fair, he's not playing next week. So I would not start him.

He put up the same amount of stats, though. Tight-in, Austin Hooper was a Hooper. Oh, no. A Pooper Hooper Hooper. He hooped in his big boy pants. Kobe Fleener. Yeah. I don't think he's top five anymore, Jay. Let's not do that watch. How about that Martellus Bennett guy? Hey, that's, you can play the trumpet for me on that one. About how much he stinks? No, he does not stink.

But for fantasy. Yeah, for fantasy purposes. I'm not playing the trumpet with a Brett Hunley game. Zach Miller, two for 29. I've told people to stay away from Zach Miller because the targets weren't there. So did you guys. You guys agreed with that last week. He had the touchdown from Tariq Cohen. Do you realize that Mitch Trubisky completed four passes? I was going to say I have to check Mitch Trubiskey's yardage. I was giving Brett Hunley such garbage. Four completions to win a game 17 to 3. Oh, he got over 100, though.

Yeah, because it's not very hard. This is the NFL. It took him four completions to get over 100 yards. Brett Hundley. Come on, man. We need better. So much to talk about. We're going to get into it. Some more tomorrow. We'll have the waiver show. Enjoy your Monday night football matchup. Mike, I know you need some Kirk Cousins action tonight. I need you, baby.
