Week 7 NFL Sleepers

Knowshon Moreno and KC D.

Knowshon is coming of a recent injury, so everyone hates him blah. Hell, the audible said that he's a 'what the hell flex' play this week??? REALLY? He is a great back, and is apparently healthy (at least healthy enough to put up some nice numbers vs the Jets #1 run D) and the rst of that backfield sucks out loud. Oh yeah, he is playing the raiders, who have given out rushing yards like party favors this year. The only guy they stopped all year was tolbert, and he and moreno are clearly not the same kind of back. He could easily get 150 and 2 tds (one receiving) this week, as the raiders can't even decide who is healthy enough to play so that Kyle Boller is off the field. With the success that Orton and the WR's have had this year, and how putrid the denver running game has been (largely due to moreno's absence imho), you have to think the raiders gear up for the pass. So He would be seeing man 8/9 man fronts that often imho. If they bunch right and draw left (preferably wherever NA isn't) to moreno I could see him breaking some long runs on this ragged d.

KC D: Is tough. They did just get SHELLED by Houston. But Houston has a great offense and but for the giants handling of them no one even woulda played KC last week. But they have a solid young team with some young skillful players. They have insane special teams that could easily get you a TD. Pretty good pass rush. Oh yeah, they are playing the Jaguars, who are pretty putrid in their own right and Del Rio has pretty clearly lost this team. Oh yeah, BOTH of their Qbs are hurt and very likely won't play because of how beat up they were after playing tennessee. Garard has a concussion, and i forget what edwards hurt, but there is a very good chance that Todd ####### Bouman will be starting. KC also has a defensive MVP candidate in Flowers who will shut down MSW or Thomas. if it rains there could be 4 to's and 5-6 sacks to be handed out. (with 2-3 going to big glenn dorsey) and very few yards/points for leagues where that matters (like mine).
