NFC WEST

The full division is in action this weekend with the Cardinals visiting the Rams in the 1 PM EST slot. San Francisco is hosting the Cowboys at 4:05 PM EST and Seattle faces the Giants later the same afternoon.

SIT: Arizona Cardinals Defense

The Rams have a balanced attack for once, and while Arizona has a pretty good defensive unit, the Rams should put up 20+ on them. Making them a pass for those who stream defenses.

START: Seattle Seahawks Defense

The newly resurgent New York Giants burned the Denver Broncos defense. It was the exception, not the rule.

SLEEPER: Running Back, Adrian Peterson – Arizona Cardinals

Peterson gashed the Buccaneers run defense for big yards and two scores. It wasn’t exactly like piercing the Steel Curtain or anything, but he looked pretty good. Against the Rams front, Peterson may be able to find similar success.

AFC WEST

Kansas City is in Oakland for Thursday Night Football. The Broncos visit the Chargers looking to rebound from an embarrassing loss to the New York Giants.

SIT: Oakland Raiders Defense

The AFC West has two units looking to prove they were who we though they were. Kansas City’s offense is one of them. And they were.

START: Denver Broncos Defense

Philip Rivers is good for two interceptions in this one, and the Broncos defense will be re-energized after last week. This is a good start.

SLEEPER: Quarterback, Trevor Siemian – Denver Broncos

The Broncos quarterback has had his status as the starter brought into question, and he’s missing Emmanuel Sanders potentially. So we’re digging deep for this one, but I feel like he’s going to show the Broncos he’s the guy to move forward with, and it starts here.

This wraps up our Week 7 fantasy football sits, starts, and sleepers for every NFL division.
