Believe it or not, we're nearly halfway through the 2007 NFL season already.
For fantasy owners, we are especially close to the middle mark, considering most leagues only go 16 weeks.
This means the playoff push is just around the corner.
The bad news is that you may have yet to get your first win. Or maybe you've got Marc Bulger. Or maybe you just now realized you're actually supposed to "set your lineup," as your buddies say.
Never fear. Even the winless can still make the playoffs with the right management from here out.
Week 7 provides us with several sleeper picks who could help turn around your season in a heartbeat.
At quarterback, fantasy football toolbox likes Brian Griese from the Bears, who has seven TD's and over 700 yards passing since replacing Rex Grossman in week 4. Plus, Griese faces Philadelphia, the 21st-ranked passing defense in the league.
Selvin Young, running back for the Broncos, is another interesting possibility. Travis Henry is questionable to play (possibly due to injury, possibly due to his bad luck with secondhand smoke), and Young has shown the ability to break big plays for a run-first offense.
Donte' Stallworth, wide receiver from New England, is another good option for Week 7, though it pains me to say it. I dropped him two weeks ago and he has since gone off for over 200 yards receiving and two touchdowns. Oops. If he's available - get him.
Finally, if you need a defense this week, I'm looking for Seattle to have a solid week against a St. Louis offense that has turned the ball over a league-high 17 times this year.
Play it smart, and your season could turn on a magnificent (week) seven.
