Week 7
By: Steven Lassan | 10/15/10, 1:04 PM EDT
It may be hard to believe, but Week 7 of the college fantasy season is already here. With the weeks flying by, playoffs will be here before you know it. If your team is fighting for a playoff spot, then the next two weeks will be some of the most important for your chances to make the postseason.
Here are links to all of Athlon's Week 7 college fantasy ranks -
There were certainly some tough decisions to make this week when compiling the rankings and a few things stood out -
Denard Robinson vs. Iowa - The Hawkeyes are tough on defense, but if Robinson breaks one play, he'll easily get over 20 fantasy points.
Nick Foles vs. Washington State - The Cougars are showing some improvement this year, but how much will Foles be needed in this game? The junior only threw for 136 yards against the Cougars last year.
John Clay vs. Ohio State - The Buckeyes are allowing just under 80 yards per game on the ground. Clay's a 20-25 carry back, but finding holes on this defense will be difficult.
Injuries -
Kentucky running back Derrick Locke is unlikely to play against South Carolina with a shoulder injury. Expect Donald Russell and Raymond Sanders to split carries on Saturday.
Indiana running back Darius Willis is out for the rest of the year due to a knee injury. Trea Burgess and Antonio Banks will likely share carries, but neither is a fantasy option in 120 leagues.
Virginia Tech running back Ryan Williams is making progress from his hamstring injury, but remains questionable to play this Saturday. Expect Darren Evans to get the bulk of the carries against Wake Forest.
Notre Dame running back Armando Allen is questionable to play against Western Michigan with a hip injury. If Allen doesn't go, Cierre Wood or Robert Hughes would get the start.
Oregon State receiver James Rodgers is out for the year due to a knee injury. Expect Jordan Bishop and Markus Wheaton to become the go-to options for quarterback Ryan Katz.
Alabama receiver Julio Jones suffered a broken hand against South Carolina and is questionable for Saturday's game against Ole Miss. Be sure to find another option for your lineup.
