All right folks. Get settled in and let's take a look at the Sunday night and Monday night games in Week 7 of the NFL season.
As always, email any questions you may have about lineups, trades or general fantasy football questions to fantasyfootballnerds@live.com or simply leave comments in this or other posts. Your questions will be answered as soon as possible (Within 24 hours most days with a guarantee of prior to kickoff each week).
Arizona (3-2) @ New York Giants (5-1)
This game has all the makings of a old-fashioned shoot-out. The Giants, led by the younger Manning, take on the veteran Kurt Warner and the pass-heavy Cardinals in a clash of the last two NFC Champions.
Wide receivers and quarterbacks are solid plays this week. Running backs, be warned. The Cardinals are boasting the top run defense in the league, but the Giants have excellent run-blocking and that could put a dent in the armor for Brandon Jacobs and Ahmad Bradshaw (assuming he plays) to bust through.
The Giants top trio of receivers (Steve Smith, Mario Manningham and Hakeem Nicks) could potentially all hit the century mark in yards and/or a TD each. Anquan Boldin is questionable for Arizona so if he is out, look for Steve Breaston to join Larry Fitzgerald in the 100-yard receiving club as well.
Fantasy owners who have been frustrated with Brandon Jacobs probably won't get much relief in this game, though he may get a TD to go with his limited yards. Bradshaw is listed as probable for Week 7 and should play, though how much remains a mystery.
Tim Hightower remains the number one option at RB for the pass-heavy Cardinals, though rookie Beanie Wells has been chipping away at Hightower's carries.
Final Score: New York 34, Arizona 27

Mario Manningham- 6 rec. 67 yards
Hakeem Nicks- 5 rec. 56 yards, 1 TD
Philadelphia (3-2) @ Washington (2-4)
The Philadelphia Eagles....are pissed. They were just embarrassed at the hands of the Oakland Raiders of all teams. The Redskins are a mess and the Eagles should come into D.C. and wipe the floor with the Skins.
I expect big games from Donovan McNabb, Brian Westbrook and the Eagles Def/ST. DeSean Jackson will run at least one kick back for a TD this week and I predict one Jason Campbell INT will go back for one as well. People will be switching channels early to watch Game 7 of the ALCS (assuming the Yankees don't win Sunday night).
Outside of Chris Cooley (which is a pretty safe bet, but not a guarantee) there is not a single player on the Redskins worth starting. Not even Clinton Portis, who probably won't be able to get his footing against this Eagles defense.
Final Score: Philadelphia 38, Washington 10
Quarterbacks
Donovan McNabb- 185 yards pass, 1 TD, 0 INT / 35 yards rush, 1 TD
Jason Campbell- 200 yards pass, 1 TD, 2 INT

LeSean McCoy- 31 yards rush / 2 rec. 16 yards
Clinton Portis- 75 yards rush / 2 rec. 15 yards
Wide Receivers/Tight Ends
Brent Celek- 5 rec. 46 yards, 1 TD
DeSean Jackson- 6 rec. 67 yards
Jeremy Maclin- 4 rec. 36 yards
Santana Moss- 4 rec. 46 yards
Chris Cooley- 5 rec. 45 yards, 1 TD
Antwaan Randle El- 3 rec. 24 yards
That's it for the projections and the predictions and the nerdery for this week. Be sure to check back Tuesday for my Winners and Losers of Week 7 column and then we will get it started again for Week 8 on Thursday.
Good luck to all players this week and thanks for reading.
