player. 10. Johnson has lost some of his looks this season to the emerging DeAndre Hopkins, but he’s still a steady veteran performer who has caught six or more passes in four of his six games while totaling 70 yards or more in all those games as well.  He found the end zone last week for the first time this season, but against a banged-up Pittsburgh secondary he should find some room to operate on Monday Night Football.. Houston Texans. Week 7 @ Steelers. Andre Johnson. 16

Reuben Randle. 18. player. 31. With Victor Cruz out for the season, Randle becomes the top option in the Giants passing attack.  He’s shown potential in the past and should get tons of passes thrown his way.  If Eli can find his groove which he lost last week against the Eagles, Randle will be a WR2 going forward.  He’s risky, but a good start this week against the Cowboys.. New York Giants. Week 7 @ Cowboys

Arizona Cardinals. Week 7 @ Raiders. Michael Floyd. 19. player. 32. Floyd found the end zone last week against the Broncos in Carson Palmer’s return. With Palmer under center, Floyd has bigtime upside but will need to continue to become more involved as a downfield threat before being locked in as a WR2 every week.  In a favorable matchup against the Raiders, Floyd is a boom or bust play this week, but should be rostered going forward based on his huge upside.

Sanu will again be the top option for the Bengals on Sunday in Indy and he’s proven he can produce in a variety of ways this season.  He’s a low-end WR2 because the Colts D has been good, but the risk of him giving you nothing is fairly low since the Bengals don’t have many other offensive options at this point in the passing game.. Cincinnati Bengals. Week 7 @ Colts. Mohamed Sanu. 20. player. 56

player. 32. Fitz was glad to have Carson Palmer back under center and showed it with his first touchdown of the season along with six catches and 98 yards in Denver last week.  With Palmer under center again this week and in a good matchup against Oakland, Fitzgerald reemerges as a WR3 or flex option... Arizona Cardinals. Week 7 vs Raiders. Larry Fitzgerald. 21

Harvin has been a mess the last few weeks for his fantasy owners.  Last week he managed to gain exactly zero yards on his three receptions after totaling just 27 yards against Washington the week before.  However, I expect a bounceback game from the Seahawks dynamic weapon against a Rams team that has allowed the third-most points to opposing receivers so far this season.  Harvin’s boom-or-bust, but I think he’ll come through this week in a favorable matchup as the Seahawks focus on getting him the ball in space.. Seattle Seahawks. Week 7 vs Rams. Percy Harvin. 22. player. 36

23. player. 26. Smith re-emerged from his season-long slumber with a pair of touchdowns last week in the Ravens rout of the Bucs.  This week he takes on the Falcons who have allowed the 11th-most fantasy points to opposing WR.  He hasn’t produce big yards yet, but he continues to have the upside to be a WR3 or flex option.. Baltimore Ravens. Week 7 vs Falcons. Torrey Smith

player. 15. Cooks is a bit of a flier this week against a tough Lions defense, but remember he had a career-high nine catches before the bye against the Cowboys. The other reason I like Cooks as a flex option is that he could see a usage bump from Jimmy Graham’s absence as well.. New Orleans Saints. Week 7 vs Lions. Brandin Cooks. 24

25. player. 28. Holmes is another sleeper I like to have a big week as he and the Raiders take on Arizona who have allowed the second-most fantasy points to opposing WR.  Holmes has 20 targets in his last two games and three touchdowns in those games since replacing the injured Rod Streater.  . Oakland Raiders. Week 7 vs Cardinals. Andre Holmes
