Teddy Bridgewater, QB, Minnesota Vikings, 27.6% owned

Bridgewater has been throwing for more yards recently. He threw for 269 against a very good Bronco team in week 4 and 316 yards against the Lions this week. He needs to cut down on his turnovers, and if he can do that, he will be a viable threat in fantasy leagues.

The Vikings will travel to Chicago, who gave up 405 yards and four touchdowns against the Lions, in Week 8 before coming home to play the Rams, who have given up 593 yards and three touchdowns in the last two weeks before their bye week.

James Starks, RB, Green Bay Packers, 45.3 owned

Starks has been getting more looks in Green Bay recently, and opened up for 112 yards and a touchdown. He also had a five-yard reception. The Packers just had their bye week, so Starks will be available for the rest of the season as long as he stays healthy.

The Packers go to Denver, and the Broncos are giving up an average of 25.4 points to running backs this season. Then they go to Carolina, who is giving up an average of 27.3 points to running backs. This is a good time for Sparks to show off his explosiveness, especially when Eddie Lacy is not performing well.

Terrance Williams, WR, Dallas Cowboys, 48.8% owned

Williams is having some trouble with the Cowboy quarterback situation, but he is still getting some yards. He had four catches for 70 yards with Matt Cassel making his first start as a Cowboy. The Cowboys had their bye during week 6, so that will not be an issue for your team.

Williams will be playing against the stingy Seahawks in week 8, but then the Cowboys play the Eagles, who are giving up 44 points to the receivers.

Ben Watson, TE, New Orleans Saints, 45.1% owned

Watson is becoming a more popular target for Drew Brees. In the last two weeks, he has 14 catches for 186 yards and a touchdown. Watson is in an offense that used to feature Jimmy Graham, so the tight ends do get some work.

The Saints are hosting the Giants and the Titans in the next two weeks, and each team is giving up 14 or more points per game to the tight ends.
