Just Thinkin' About Tomorrow

Here are some Sunday storylines I'll be following in Week 7 of the NFL slate tomorrow.

Force vs. object squared
Adrian Peterson and Rashard Mendenhall battle in Pittsburgh and each has a very difficult matchup.  Which one can come through for fantasy owners anyway?

Frank the Tank
Frank Gore returns from injury to face an uninspring Texans defense.  Is he 100 % healthy?  Did I waste all my bidding bucks on Glen Coffee?  Yes, yes I did.

London Calling
The Pats and Bucs are playing in Wembley, trying to put on a show for the British fans.  This is not a good thing for Tampa Bay.  Does the Pats running game do anything?

Turn back the clock
When is the old Steve Smith going to start playing like the new Steve Smith?  The Carolina version has been awful this year, but may have a chance against an overrated Bills passing defense (teasing the Sunday hunch here).

Raider revival
I'm not really looking to see if the Raiders have any fantasy goodness, I'm just going to be documenting their defensive performance at home.  They slowed down Philly last week and now get the Jets.  Are they a formidable defense in the Black Hole?

Burning Benson
Cedric Benson faces his old team in Cincinnati.  Should I really be sold on this guy as a top 10 back?

Miles and Miles
Miles Austin and the Cowboys will take the field for the first time since he put on a performance worthy of Flipper Anderson.  He's now the Cowboys leading receiver, but is he their best fantasy option?

Two heads are better than one
Is Ahmad Bradshaw a better fantasy option than Brandon Jacobs?  He has been lately.  I'm looking for the number of carries here and where on the field those carries happen.

Prove it Pierre
Pierre Thomas, you say you are still a viable fantasy option?  Prove it in Miami Sunday.

Cheers,
TFAM
