Free Fantasy Football Week 7

          I warned readers that I was just getting back into fantasy football, and last week’s results certainly showed it. I finished 222^nd out of 254 in the free league I started doing three weeks ago at Draftstreet.com. It was my worst finish since I started. I only put up 86.94 points compared to the winner who scored 160.64.

          My basic thought for the week was to load up at quarterback and take shots at running back. I was counting on a shoot out in the Patriots-Dallas game, and I went with Tom Brady and Tony Romo. That just never happened. Then my backs were non-existent; I took a flyer on Ronnie Brown not knowing how far he was in the Eagles’ doghouse, and Tim Hightower never even played despite practicing Friday.

          Here’s my roster for the week barring last-minute changes:

<blockquote>QB Aaron Rodgers (GB-QB) $21,151

QB Philip Rivers (SD-QB) $13,979

RB Ray Rice (BAL-RB) $18,876

RB Marshawn Lynch (SEA-RB) $9,427

WR Darrius Heyward-Bey (OAK-WR) $7,127

WR Jordy Nelson (GB-WR) $10,640

TE Heath Miller (PIT-TE) $5,010

FLEX Jeremy Shockey (CAR-TE) $4,375

FLEX Ryan Grant (GB-RB) $4,374

DST Packers (GB-DST) $4,699

Cap = $100,000
