Welcome to the Week 6 Review / Week 7 Preview. If you're new here, check out Week 1's introduction

primetime recap

This Week's Three Studs of Primetime:

3. LeSean McCoy
2. Anquan Boldin
1. Colin Kaepernick

FBG Staff Writer and Rookie Scouting Portfolio author Matt Waldman made a wonderful cross-sport, cross-generational player comparison about Kaepernick.

Colin Kaepernick is the Dominique Wilkins of NFL quarterbacks.

— Matt Waldman (@MattWaldman) October 14, 2014

Like Wilkins, Kaepernick can do things athletically that his better contemporaries (Aaron Rodgers, Drew Brees, etc.) can't do. But he also doesn't play as complete a game as them and is often considered an inferior player to some who are inferior athletes.

This Week's Three Duds of Primetime:

3. Andre Williams
2. Eli Manning
1. Brian Quick

Since we've already started with twitter contributions, we're going to do something new this week. Instead of detailing the Studs and Duds, I'm going to highlight some of my favorite tweets from Sunday.

FBG Staff Writer Adam Harstad makes a great point about Aaron Rodgers after his scramble-drill touchdown pass to Randall Cobb:

Aaron Rodgers’ greatness is that every play he makes leaves me thinking “no other quarterback could do what he just did."

— Adam Harstad (@AdamHarstad) October 12, 2014

The hilarious, grammatically-incorrect-on-purpose PFTCommenter makes a thought-provoking comment on "diva" receivers:

If u wine for a interference flag and dont get it you should get negative fantasy points

— PFTCommenter (@PFTCommenter) October 12, 2014

Speaking of Pass Interference, on the heels of the Jared Cook Offensive PI call and some other questionable-at-best calls and non-calls alike, this column's tradition of criticizing NFL officiating in the primetime games continues. This one was funnier than anything I could have said:

The Random Pass Interference Generator came up NO that time. Better luck next time

— Jerry Palm (@jppalmCBS) October 14, 2014

Last but not least, FBG's own Sigmund Bloom throwing FBG's resident UCF Knights alum (yours truly) a shout-out with the news that former UCF running back Storm Johnson was drawing the start yesterday:

love this. #allgoldenknightsbackfield cc: @RyanHester13 RT @ryanohalloran Rookie RB Storm Johnson starting for #Jaguars.

— Sigmund Bloom (@SigmundBloom) October 12, 2014

Even though they stripped the "Golden" back in 2007, I'll take what I can get. Heck, even ESPN still gets this wrong on occasion.

last week at the "book"

#FFBookie History

I've received a few "parlay" requests through the first few weeks of the season, but this is the first time I've given odds and had one come in for a winner. It required a bit of follow-up and clarification because he needed nine to win the second lef (he wasn't actually down by nine).

@jtmckenzi -350 and +120. Parlay odds +183 after the juice. #FFBookie

Close Call of the Week

Sunday Night Football had far more notable fantasy players than Monday Night Football. So, it's no surprise that we had our first close call of the week decided after SNF.

@JustinMinne That’ll be tight. The unpredictable nature of kickers stinks, by yours may give you the edge. -125. #FFBookie

— Ryan Hester (@RyanHester13) October 12, 2014

@RyanHester13 won 111.3 to 109.9. So close

— Justin Minne (@JustinMinne) October 13, 2014

Kickers: An Inexact Science

This one, admittedly, wasn't all that exciting. But it did give me a chance to continue the "why do we have kickers" fantasy movement.

@youretight805 I’m a big proponent of the anti-kicker movement. Add another flex instead. Too unpredictable. I call you -125. #FFBookie

— Ryan Hester (@RyanHester13) October 13, 2014

I'm the #FFBookie -- Not You!

The "Overzealous Award" goes to @blain_train. He thought this situation was comfortable enough to use the word "solid." Not only was he not solid, Kaepernick almost scored the 31 himself.

@blain_train Favorite? Yes. Solid? NO. -130. Any Crabtree TD puts you in big trouble. #FFBookie

Underdog of the Week

You may recognize the last name of this tweeter. I'm in this league, so I know that there are distance bonuses, clinching this win. I also know that despite being on a high from his big comeback win, my brother was in the market for another QB just last week. Now, Kaepernick is his Hero of the Week. Fantasy football -- my, how things can change.

@T_Hester Capable. But not likely. +240. #FFBookie

looking ahead

Last week, I selected Eli Manning as player I thought would shine in primetime. I wrote the following:

It feels quite odd selecting the player I'm about to select because it seems like he has probably had more games worthy of placement in the section below than here. But with Philadelphia being a red carpet for opposing fantasy quarterbacks, Eli Manning is firmly in the QB1 range this week.

I should have stopped after writing that first sentence, deleted it, and selected someone else. But alas, I was incorrect.

In fact, I should've stopped writing altogether. My "Romo" section player was even worse than picking the younger Manning as my "Nelson" player. Last week was the first time I correctly pick the top Stud of the Week. This week is the first time I've picked a guy to be a Dud and he was the top Stud.

These will be better, I promise hope.

The Jordy Nelson Memorial "You Don't Want to Play Against This Guy" Section

It's too obvious to use Peyton Manning in this section, but I expect he'll get the three touchdowns he needs to break the all-time record. Aside from Manning, look for Arian Foster to have a nice night as Pittsburgh continues to get creased by an opponent with a good running game. So far this year, Pittsburgh has allowed 150 or more rushing yards in three games.

In Week 1, Cleveland gashed them for 191 yards at 6.2 per carry; in Week 2, it was Baltimore at 157 and 4.4; and last week, Cleveland got them again with 158 and 4.2 (a yards per carry number deflated by obvious run situations due to the blowout nature of the game). What do Cleveland, Baltimore, and Houston all have in common? Kyle Shanahan and Gary Kubiak learned zone blocking from Kyle's father, and Bill O'Brien has kepy many of those principles in Houston since Foster is at his best in that system.

The Tony Romo Memorial "Bright Lights, Dim Fantasy Production" Section

Manning will be throwing, and San Francisco does very well against opposing running backs. Don't expect another 100-yard performance from Ronnie Hillman.
