Week 7 Player Pick Up

This week I have Julio Jones, Eric Decker and Reggie Bush on bye. There are several players available who could be a good option going forward or at least help you this week. These pick ups are for deeper leagues. My 12 man league has very few players on the wire, while a 10 man always has viable options. Here are my suggestions for pick up if these guys are still available.

Runningback
Felix Jones- Demarco Murray has suffered an injury. Felix Jones appears to be the new starter in Dallas. He looked decent last week against the Ravens. The Cowboys play the Panthers this week which is an extremely favorable match up. If he is available in your league pick him up!

William Powell- I picked him up last week. He is getting the majority of the carries for the Arizona Cardinals. They are not a team that runs the ball a ton, but he did manage to put up close to eight yards last year. He looks explosive and could have a decent week if the Cards are successful again the Vikings. He is basically a starting running back that could still be available.

Daryl Richardson- He and Stephen Jackson seem to be splitting the time for the Rams. Last week he put up up almost eight fantasy points. This week the Rams play Green Bay. There is a lot of speculation  that he will take over the starting job from Stephen Jackson.  I'm not exactly sure what is going to happen, but I would snap him up if you really could use someone.

Alex Green- He is the lead back right now for the Green Bay Packers. The Packers are going to score, and he could be the one to punch one in the at the goal line. He will probably not be available in your league if you have any even remotely savvy players. If you can find him in your league he is a viable flex option.

Wide Receiver
Josh Gordon- He is emerging of a favorite target of Brandon Weeden. Is Weeden the best quarterback in the NFL? No. Are the Cleveland Browns good? No. But they have put up over 20 points the past two weeks, and Josh Gordon keeps getting the ball thrown his way. He is worth a pick up if you have your receivers on bye.

Brandon Gibson- He seems to be the wideout beneffiting most from Danny Amendola's injury. He had seven catches and ninety one yards last week. The Rams play Green Bay this week. If Green Bay can put up a lead or if the Rams keep it close there is a potential for big fantasy points for Gibson. Definitely a solid pick up if you have a receiver on bye.
