It's been a wacky Week 7 with a few unlikely stars ( - 30.18 fantasy points, - 24.70 fantasy points) and some usual faces making hay ( - 28.30 fantasy points, - 29.70 fantasy points). Unfortunately, football lost another huge name to a season ending injury as RB is reportedly with a torn Achilles. It's a huge lo s for the , fantasy owners and football in general as Foster is one of the most exciting players to watch each and every week. We're hoping he can come back stronger than ever after what is sure to be a long road ahead. Anyway, in case you mi sed some of Week 7's fantasy action, our staff has you covered. Below are the full recaps for all of Week 7's games.Philadelphia Eagles at Carolina PanthersTop performers: , QB: 205 pa sing yards, INT, 6.80 fantasy points , RB: 20 touches, 70 total yards, 7.0 fantasy points , RB: 9 touches, 121 total yard, TD, 18.10 fantasy points , WR: 4 rec, 52 yards, 5.20 fantasy points , WR: 3 rec, 14 yards, 1.40 fantasy points , TE: 5 rec, 63 yards, 6.30 fantasy points , QB: 217 total yards, 2 TDs, 3 INTs, 13.88 fantasy points , RB: 24 carries, 125 yards, 12.50 fantasy points , WR: 5 rec, 59 yards, 10.20 fantasy points , TE: 3 rec, 65 yards, 6.50 fantasy points Philadelphia's offense continues to look completely listle s, and without a regular counter punch. They were regularly outmatched by the speed of the defense in the short areas of the field. Even when managed to get going, his receivers let him down with numerous drops. frustrated once again with mistakes and inefficiency, and he didn't even see much of in this game. At this point, he's unplayable in fantasy leagues. paced the team in receiving, but had a key drop of his own late in the final drive. All the underperformance of the pa s catchers leaves a sliver of hope could take over a big role if he gets healthy and in tune with the offense. However, nothing about this pa sing offense feels sustainable for fantasy. You need only look at the stat line to see the wide disparity of performance between the running backs. was the more explosive player, while just grinded out yards. While Murray's poor numbers aren't all his fault, the split should be more even than the current near 70 percent split in favor of Murray currently in place. The offense was about what it will be all year. made game changing plays, but has such a small margin of error with the surrounding talent at offensive tackle and wideout. Two of his three interceptions were mostly the fault of and drops, while the other a fantastic play by ' safety . Still, you'll take 13.88 points in a game where he chucked three turnovers. The most encouraging piece from this game was a second concecutive stellar effort from in yet another tough matchup. He's back in our good graces as a starting fantasy running back. Buffalo Bills at Jacksonville Jaguars (London)Top performers: , QB: 182 pa s yards, 2 TDs, INT, -3 rush yards, 12.98 fantasy points , RB: 115 rush yards, TD, 9 rec yards, 18.40 fantasy points , WR: 98 rec yards, TD, 15.80 fantasy points , WR: 53 rec yards, TD, 11.30 fantasy points , RB: 68 rush yards, 36 rec yards, 2-pt conversion, fmbl, 10.40 fantasy points , QB: 298 pa s yards, 2 TDs, 2 INTs, fmbl, 38 rush yards, 17.72 fantasy points , WR: 84 rec yards, TD, 14.40 fantasy points , WR: 58 rec yards, TD, 11.80 fantasy points D/ST: 4 sacks, 2 INTs, 2 fmbls recovered, 2 TDs, 25 pts allowed, 24.00 fantasy pointsIt was a wild first half of football in London. Following a field goal, the went on to score four unanswered touchdowns, two of which were scored by Jacksonville's defense (one fumble scoop and score and one pick-six). and also took turns scoring, and it looked like Jacksonville had this one all but wrapped up. But the weren't having it and made an impre sive second half comeback. At one point they had the lead after a pick-six of their own in the fourth quarter. came back to earth here, but led what ended up being a game-winning drive for the and found for an impre sive go-ahead touchdown late. In terms of fantasy, Yeldon looked fine after dealing with a Trevon Wesco Jersey groin injury and rewared those fantasy owners who plugged him into their lineups. He had 21 touches in the game and is a solid RB2 going forward since he sees so much volume. The Allens remained hot, with Robinson scoring his fourth TD in three games and Hurns continuing his scoring streak with a TD in five straight games now. For Buffalo, dominated backfield touches with 18 carries and two receptions and salvaged his fantasy day with a two-point conversion. Knowing and weren't playing, made for a sneaky sleeper who ended up paying off. And despite losing three turnovers Manuel had his second solid fantasy outing in a row. But we still don't reccommend using him in season-long formats. Atlanta Falcons at Tenne see TitansTop performers: , QB: 251 yards, TD, 2 INTs, 9.74 fantasy points , RB: 130 total yards, 13 fantasy points , WR: 9 rec, 92 yards, TD, 15.2 fantasy points , QB: 187 yards, TD, 2 INTs, 7.48 fantasy points , RB: 57 rush yards, 5.7 fantasy points , WR: 4 rec, 46 yards, TD, 10.6 fantasy points , RB: 6 rec, 48 rec yards, 20 rush yards, 6.8 fantasy points , TE: 7 rec, 55 yards, 5.5 fantasy points This was a pretty sloppy game by both sides, with the quarterbacks combining for four interceptions. Thankfully, the main fantasy stars in this one -- and -- both got theirs. Even though Freeman (finally) didn't score a touchdown, no one will turn their nose up at 130 total yards. Jones on the other hand finally looked healthy and made some typical Julio catches. It was good to see him get into the end zone again. 's season-long struggles have continued. It didn't help that left the game with another injury, but even then, Ryan has to play smarter. Mettenberger struggled all day to move the Tenne see offense, and wasn't helped by a middling committee backfield. was a ghost, while Andrews was the "workhorse" on the ground. cannot return to this backfield soon enough. saw some nive work in the pa sing game, while was the one who found the end zone. Minnesota Vikings at Detroit LionsTop performers: , QB: 316 yards, 2 TD, fmbl, 18.74 fantasy points , RB: 110 total yards, 11 fantasy points , WR: 9 rec, 108 yards, TD, 17.7 fantasy points , K: 5 FG made, PAT, 20 fantasy points , QB: 256 pa s yards, 2 TDs, 18.74 fantay points , RB: 43 rush yards, 4.3 fantasy points , RB: 8 rush yards, 3 rec, 40 rec yards, 4.8 fantay points , WR: 86 yards, TD, 14.6 fantasy points , TE: 89 yards, TD, 14.9 fantasy pointsWhile the came out of the gate hot with two touchdowns in the first quarter, the offense settled into a rhythm and controlled the clock from there on out. found the end zone in his first game back, catching all five of his targets for 89 yards. did things again, notching 86 yards and a touchdown. played well again, and most importably he didn't commit a turnover. He could be starting to turn the corner. His backfield is still a me s, though, with no one stepping out as a lead back. and both scored fewer than five fantasy points. Yuck. On the flip side, looked solid, eluding pre sure and dropping some nice looking pa ses to his wide receivers. Speaking of, is for real. The guy has played stellar in three straight weeks, never looking better than on his diving touchdown catch today. We sure hope you picked him up off the waiver wire when we told you to weeks ago. struggled to find room to run, but once he did he made the most of it. New York Jets at New England PatriotsTop performers: , QB: 295 pa s yards, 2 TD, 29 rush yards, fumble, 20.70 fantasy points , RB: 41 rush yards, 2 rec, 12 yards, TD, 11.30 fantasy points , WR: 6 rec, 94 yards, 9.40 fantasy points , QB: 355 pa s yards, 2 TD, 15 rush yards, TD, 29.70 fantay points , TE: 11 rec, 108 yards, TD, 16.80 fantasy points , WR: 8 rec, 86 yards, TD, 14.60 fantasy pointsThe secondary hasn't been the toughest, and while didn't have a terrible game, he didn't exactly light it up either. The Amish Rifle threw for 295 yards and two touchdowns, but left some plays on the field. It was a pretty nice day for , but underwhelmed. It didn't help that the touchdowns went to and . That Ivory score helped salvage a day beset by a hamstring injury that kept the ' top rusher off the field for long stretches.Brady to Gronk. It's been a magic elixir for years now and once again provided dividends for the and fantasy owners. was the most Jarrod Wilson Jersey reliable New England pa s-catcher with a career-high 11 catches, 108 yards and a touchdown ... although wasn't far behind. That made up for the six drops by and the ' general inability to run the football. When is your leading rusher (four carries, 15 yards) it's probably a good sign that you mi s .Cleveland Browns at St. Louis RamsTop performers: , QB: 270 pa s yards, 21 rush yards, 2 fmbls, 8.90 fantasy points , TE: 101 rec yards, 10.10 fantasy points , RB: 17 rush yards, 73 rec yards, 9.00 fantasy points , RB: 128 rush yards, 2 TDs, 35 rec yards, 28.30 fantasy points D/ST: 4 sacks, 4 fumbles recovered, TD, 6 pts allowed, 25.00 fantasy points This was a pretty ugly game all around. Neither starting QB threw a single touchdown pa s. In fact, the were the only team to score any touchdowns, one on defense and two by on the ground. Gurley was really the only good thing going here for fantasy owners, rumbling his way to 163 total yards and two rushing scores, the first touchdowns of his short career. As expected, the defense bled yards on the ground making for a huge day for Gurley's fantasy owners. And if you took a shot with the D/ST, that move paid off nicely too. For the , tight end stayed consistent posting his fifth straight game with double-digit fantasy points. He's clearly the truth and needs to remain in starting lineups for the rest of the season. left the game with an injury, so that will be something to monitor this coming week. As for the RBs, seems more irrelevant each week as gets more touches and dominates on pa sing downs. But none of these guys did anything to excited us this week. Pittsburgh Steelers at Kansas City ChiefsTop performers: , RB: 121 rush yards, 16 rec yards, 13.70 fantasy points , WR: 124 rec yards, 6 rush yards, 13.00 fantasy points , WR: 45 rec yards, 13 rush yards, rec TD, 11.80 fantasy points , QB: 251 pa s yards, TD, 5 rush yards, 14.54 fantasy points , RB: 110 rush yards, TD, 19 rec yards, 18.90 fantasy points , WR: 63 rec yards, TD, 12.30 fantasy points , TE: 73 rec yards, 7.30 fantasy pointsThe first game of the era (which may only be one week long as could return in Week 8) for Pittsburgh brought good things for the team's top playmakers. Both and logged over 100 yards and found the end zone in this one. So fantasy owners who started any of those three players came away feeling all right about their decision. Brown finally broke out of his three-week slump and was making some ridiculous catches the entire game. The loaded up Bell with carries early on, and he chipped away huge chunks of yardage throughout the game. On the side of the ball, had the break through game his owners were looking for last week, and hopefully this is a sign of things to come. His succe s should cement his lead back role for the foreseeable future at the least. The other big news Sunday morning was 's inactive status as he recovers from a concu sion that he suffered last week. His absence left more opportunities for and , which they took advantage of. Conley got into the end zone and Wilson managed over 70 yards. was somewhat disappointing again as he had just 73 yards and failed to score for the sixth straight game. He remains a TE1 in an offense lacking weapons, but his recent low production is concerning. New Orleans Saints at Indianapolis ColtsTop performers: , RB: 143 rush yards, TD, 2 rec, 5 yards, 20.80 fantasy points , RB: 28 rush yards, 2 TDs, 1 rec, 3 yards, 15.10 fantasy points , QB: 255 pa s yards, TD, INT, -4 rush yards, 11.80 fantasy points , WR: 4 rec, 150 yards, 2 TDs, 27.00 fantasy points , QB: 333 pa s yards, 3 TDs, 2 INTs, 27 rush yards, 24.02 fantasy points , WR: 4 rec, 34 yards, TD, 9.40 fantasy pointsWe've spent much of the season lamenting the fantasy demise of , but isn't too far behind. In a favorable matchup against Solomon Thomas Jersey the , Brees managed fewer than 12 fantasy points. That makes it hard to consider him even a matchup-based starter. If there's a silver lining, it's that had one of his best games of his season with 81 receiving yards. But this day was all about with 143 rushing yards and a score. That made up for the two touchdowns that were vultured by . ... we just can't with you right now. Yes, he finished with 24 fantasy points, but it was another week in which he made a number of terrible throws and only started to have succe s with his team trailing by multiple scores. Chances are your fantasy team is relying on him, but you never know what you'll get from him week-to-week. In other news ... we finally got the breakout game in Week 7. Add it to his Week 6 totals and he now has 224 yards and three scores in the past two weeks. There wasn't much else in the offense to speak on this week.Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Washington RedskinsTop performers: , QB: 297 pa sing yards, 2 TDs, 20.38 fantasy points , RB: 22 touches, 171 total yards, 17.10 fantasy points , RB: 12 touches, 66 total yards, 4.60 fantasy points , WR: 8 rec, 164 yards, TD, 22.40 fantasy points , QB: 317 pa sing yards, 4 total TDs, 30.18 fantasy points , RB: 12 touches, 51 total yards, 5.10 fantasy points , RB: 7 touches, 7 total yards, 0.70 fantasy points , WR: 5 rec, 55 yards, 5.50 fantasy points , WR: 3 rec, 54 yards, TD, 11.40 fantasy points , TE: 11 rec, 72 yards, 2 TDs, 19.20 fantasy pointsThis game featured a surprising amount of scoring, and it wasn't of the defensive variety. played by far the best game of his young career. He looked confident and in control, and when things broke down, he made plays not mistakes. It helped that his top weapon, , was up to the form we saw from last season. Fully recovered from an early season hamstring injury, Evans looked like the freakish bully we know him as. He's back in consideration as an every week starter, but beware that Jameis could just as easily lock into next week. The Bucs running game was the catalyst of the offense. can deliver solid performances when playing at home. He turned in a 30-point fantasy day in a cakewalk matchup. Falling behind early, Washington never had a chance to establish the run. and couldn't crack six fantasy points. Cousins spread the ball around the field, excluding locking into . The latter reminded the fantasy community he is a TE1 when playing with Cousins. He was consistently open in the middle of the field, and Cousins hit Reed twice in the middle of the field. Houston Texans at Miami DolphinsTop performers: , QB: 273 pa sing yards, 2 TDs, 20.92 fantasy points , RB: 23 touches, 125 pa sing yards, 2 TDs, 24.50 fantasy points , WR: 6 rec, 50 yards, 5.0 fantasy points , WR: 9 rec, 127 yards, 2 TDs, 24.70 fantasy points , QB: 282 pa sing yards, 4 TDs, 27.58 fantasy points , RB: 17 touches, 236 total yards, 2 TDs, 35.60 fantasy points , WR: 5 rec, 83 yards, 2 TDs, 20.80 fantasy points , WR: 3 rec, 75 yards, TD, 13.50 fantasy points The team got taken to the woodshed today, as the score was 41-7 quite early on, and they had le s than five yards to over 200 for the after the first quarter. and made music in garbage time, rewarding anyone brave enough to stream either. finally slowed down, snaring only six pa ses for 50 yards. We'll have to review this film during the week to see if Miami did anything special to slow him down. had Freeman McNeil Jersey a strong game, but sadly injured his Achilles with four minutes left to go in the game. , he may mi s the rest of the season, which would send the season officially into tailspin mode. The shellacked the , with throwing four touchdown pa ses to only one incompletion. got fed once again, and to no one but Joe Philbin's surprise, had a tremendous game. He was the top scorer in fantasy from the early games. It didn't have to be so hard, Joe. made about five or six people mi s on his long touchdown reception, correcting his zero receiving touchdowns to 11 red zone targets ratio. This offense is rounding into form at the perfect time.Oakland Raiders at San Diego ChargersTop performers: , QB: 289 pa s yards, 3 TD, 3 rush yards, 23.86 fantasy points , WR: 5 rec, 133 yards, TD, 19.30 fantasy points , RB: 85 rush yards, TD, 1 rec, 1 yard, 14.60 fantasy points , WR: 6 rec, 63 yards, TD, 12.30 fantasy points , QB: 336 pa s yards, 3 TD, 2 INT, 2 2PT conv, 25.44 fantay points , RB: 26 rush yards, 11 rec, 75 rush yards, 2 TD, 22.10 fantasy points , TE: 4 rec, 45 yards, TD, 2 2-PT conv, 14.50 fantasy points and did most of their damage in the first half. But you don't really care about that. What you care about are the five connections for 133 yards and a touchdown. The TD pa s to wasn't too bad, either. Carr actually connected with nine different pa s-catchers, but those are the only two you should really pay attention to. had a fairly nice day against the poor rushing defense with 85 yards and a score. Thank goodne s for garbage time or it would have been a disastrous day for . The quarterback once again threw the ball a ton with 336 yards on 58 attempts. That and his three touchdowns mostly masked the stink of his two early interceptions. Much of the damage was done by the combination of (9 rec, 89 yards) and (11 rec, 75 yards, 2 TD). The running game was non-existant with 21 attempts being split between Woodhead, and . Woodhead is the only player in this group worth starting until further notice.Dallas Cowboys at New York GiantsTop performers: , QB: 227 pa sing yards, TD, 3 INTs, 7.48 fantasy points , RB: 31 touches, 162 total yards, TD, 22.20 fantasy points , WR: 4 rec, 70 yards, 7.0 fantasy points , TE: 6 rec, 73 yards, 7.30 fantasy points , QB: 170 yards, 6.40 fantasy points , RB: 8 carries, 48 yards, TD, 10.80 fantasy points , RB: 5 touches, 62 total yards, 6.20 fantasy points Reuben Randle, WR: 2 rec, 68 yards, 2.40 fantasy points , WR: 4 rec, 35 yards, 3.50 fantasy pointsThis was your typical ugly NFC East game between two handicapped offenses; the by injuries and the by their own accord. moved the ball at times better than , but made back-breaking mistakes that killed drives. He's always done that, and will continue to in Dallas with a substandard supporting cast. The biggest news was taking 31 touches out of this backfield. He played on over 60 snaps, while an injured (six snaps) and (seven snaps) picked up the scraps. McFadden is the pa sing down back and was the hot hand today. If he's the lead back right now, we know how that story ends. We won't declare anything settled in this backfield until the final 2015 whistle. The offense had one of their crater games. Their running back split was just hideous, with no one seeing more than eight touches. Some "out of left field" back named Darkwa scored the touchdown. We hope you're not relying on any one of them. The continue to show they won't force the ball to in le s than ideal situations, which leads to these sort of ugly offensive numbers. Yet, as long as the Sheldon Rankins Jersey team is winning, they don't care. Seattle Seahawks at San Francisco 49ers (Thursday night)Top performers: , RB: 122 yards, 1 TD, 18.20 fantasy points , WR: 79 yards, 1 TD, 13.90 fantasy points D/ST: 6 sacks, 3 points allowed, 13.00 fantay points , QB: 235 pa s yards, 1 TD, 2 INT, 20 rush yards, 11.40 fantasy points D/ST: 5 sacks, 2 INT, 20 points allowed, 10.00 fantasy points , TE: 61 yards, 6.10 fantasy points , QB: 124 pa s yards, 4.96 fantasy pointsOf all the football games you've ever watched ... that was one of them. apparently can't stand prosperity. Despite carving up the for most of the first half, the quarterback made a couple of really poor throws that led to interceptions -- including one in the end zone. After looking as though he could post a big number, he instead finished with fewer than 12 points. It was a nice night for with 13.90 points. Too bad only two percent of NFL.com users actually saw any benefit from it. started the night by liquidating his pregame meal but by the end of the night, he left the Niners with upset stomachs after 122 rush yards and a touchdown. Beast Mode indeed. The defense was arguably the most productive option on Thursday night with six sacks -- 3.5 of them from .For as little as the did on offense, the Niners did far le s. The good news for is that he didn't throw an interception. The bad news is that he didn't really do much of anything besides be generally erratic and under pre sure. That lack of production was extended to his pa s-catchers who were equally underwhelming. But hey, there was a sighting! struggled through another poor performance with just 40 rushing yards. The Niners defense was another defense that made hay running through Seattle's sieve-like offensive line. Thankfully for all involved, this one has come to an end.Baltimore Ravens at Arizona CardinalsTop performers: , QB: 252 pa s yards, TD, INT, 2pt conversion, 14.08 fantasy points , RB: 44 total yards, TD, 10.40 fantasy points Sr., WR: 78 rec yards, 7.80 fantasy points , QB: 275 pa s yards, 2 TDs, 19.3 fantasy points , WR: 65 rec yards, TD, 12.5 fantasy points , WR: 39 rec yards, 3.90 fantasy points , WR: 59 rec yards, TD, 11.9 fantasy points , RB: 122 rush yards, TD, 18.2 fantasy pointsWell, why the game itself was wildly entertaining, it wasn't quite the result we were anticipating. The first two touchdowns were scored on the ground, as both and found some space to run. Johnson found more space on the day, though, benefitting from a heads-up play where he was tackled ontop of a player, and never touched the ground, so he continued galloping for 62 yards. The pa sing attack was supposed to victimize the secondary, but instead they just turned in a solid effort. played smart and didn't commit any turnovers while finding and for touchdowns. had a quiet day, but made the needed plays when the ball came his way. This offense will be able to produce for fantasy owners all season long, even in ho-hum, efficient performances like this. The are still seeking another pa s-catching option to emerge behind . Finally back from his calf injury, made a few plays, but couldn't haul in 's desperation heave in the final seconds to bring the game to overtime. Buck Allen ran hard spelling Forsett, but this is still the veteran's backfield, as he dominated the touches 15 to four.
