So you’re in need of a quarterback for your fantasy football team in Week 7?

Well, you have come to the right place. While will get to our sleeper picks for Week 7 in a later article, I do have a few more viable quarterback options for you right here.

Here are our Week 7 fantasy football projections at the quarterback position:

Ben Roethlisberger, Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Minnesota Vikings
Ben Roethlisberger is truly a man among boys right now. What he is doing from the quarterback position this season is such a transformation from what he has been asked to do in the past that I’m seriously considering him for our next round of Fantasy Football MVPs. Last week alone, Big Ben threw for 417 passing yards, 2 touchdowns and a marvelous 21-fantasy-point performance, a plateau he has reached 3 weeks in a row as we enter Week 7. Speaking of Week 7, the Steelers host the Vikings, a team that clearly has some holes on defense. You can start with the cornerback position opposite of Antoine Winfield and see just how much of an advantage Big Ben has there. Also, the Vikings defense was exploited last week by the Ravens and what little Ray Rice did to them in them in the second half. Entering Week 7 of the fantasy football season, the Vikings are 24th against the pass and are giving up a whopping 91.0 quarterback rating to their opponents. So say what you will about those Vikings and their Super Bowl chances, but without a solid defense to boot, especially in the passing game, there’s a very good chance that Big Ben could put a damper on the Vikings Super Bowl aspirations with another one of those 300+ yard games that we have come so accustomed to all of a sudden.

Tom Brady, New England Patriots at Tampa Bay Buccaneers
The only reason I am considering Brady among the secondary picks, instead of my main picks, is because I want to make sure that Brady is all the way back and that it wasn’t the Titans and the weather conditions that saw him toss 6 touchdowns this past Sunday. But even if that big performance was “snow-aided,” the Buccaneers pass defense is so abysmal that it’s quite possible that we could see a repeat performance down in Tampa. Don’t be fooled by the fact that Tampa ranks 11th against the pass—that’s a result of being so bad that teams are running the clock out on the Bucs. To get a real sense of the Bucs defense, all you have to do is look at the fact that Tampa’s opponents are averaging a 101.0 quarterback rating against them on defense—one of the highest opposing ratings in the league. Thus, I would say it’s safe to say that Brady is a very safe play in Week 7, especially since we know that the Patriots have no intention of running out clock once the game gets out of whack.

Kurt Warner, Arizona Cardinals at New York Giants
Last week, Warner showed us yet again why he is still a force to be reckoned with in this league. In Week 6, Warner threw for 276 yards and 2 touchdown passes, ultimately scoring 15 fantasy football points. It was nothing special and it’s not even close to being one of Warner’s better games, but that kind of efficient performance is a great demonstration of leadership and focus, two things every quarterback has to have. And if you don’t think those things are important in fantasy football think again. All of the quarterbacks that are doing well right now fantasy-wise, such as Peyton Manning, Big Ben, Tom Brady, Brett Favre and Kyle Orton, are doing so because they are smart individuals who can lead their teams to victories and take care of the football. So coupling Warner’s experience with the fact that he’ll be throwing to his 3 talented wide receivers against a Giants defense that was just gutted by the Saints this past Sunday, I really like Warner’s chances for success, and I do believe he will put up impressive fantasy numbers here in Week 7.
