Welcome to week 7 of the NFL. Fantasy owners are scrabbling right now to make pick ups to add to their rosters. With all the big name injuries in the league right now, I don't blame them. Players like Calvin Johnson (WR), Jimmy Graham (TE), A.J. Green (WR), and Victor Cruz (WR) are all out and most likely not playing this week. Other players have some big shoes to fill!
The first player who I believe is a definite play this week on your team is Mohamed Sanu (WR) of the Cincinnati Bengals. Sanu will be the number one wide receiver this week for the Bengals with A.J. Green out for another week. Expect Sanu to have most of the passing attempts come his way because of Quarterback Dalton's trust in him. I predict Sanu to have at least a 2 touchdown week in the red zone play. He could be a huge help to your team in week 7. Another player on my radar for week 7 is Golden Tate (WR) of the Detroit Lions. He is also having to step up this week as his partner wide receiver Calvin Johnson is out with an ankle injury. Tate has the most catches over all for the Lions this season, with means you should count on him to have even more now that he isn't splitting looks with Johnson. Be ready to watch Golden Tate work his magic this week against a New Orleans Saints defense that is allowing the 2nd most points in the league.
One player who we all know of is the Veteran Tight End of the San Francisco 49ers, Vernon Davis. Davis has been rather displeasing so far this season since he suffered a back injury in week 2. As a Fantasy owner of him right now it is an sticky situation on wheather or not to play him this week against Denver. I'll tell you this this, He is back... from his hurt back, and that means play him. With Davis being such a touchdown threat in the red zone, you have to expect he will have a couple opportunities to add to his touchdown count to raise the already impressive number in his career.
Some running backs to keep in mind this week are Jamaal Charles, Lamar Miller, and Ben Tate. Jamaal Charles who had a spectacular season last year has had a rough start so far do to a high ankle sprain early in week 1. Looking into week 7 know though, Charles is more than ready to make up for the time lost. Play, play, play the work horse this week against the Chargers. Lamar Miller is another name that we are familiar with but most likely not trust-worthy of after last season major fantasy disappointment. Miller has change, he has evolved into a premiere running back in the league as he is averaging a touchdown a game. He has made up for his mistakes and is a RB that you should trust to lead your team to victory. Lastly there is Ben Tate of the Cleveland Browns who is also coming off an injury, and with the passing game hurting in Brown country he is having a major welcome back. Expect Ben Tate to rush for about 100 rushing yards this week and squeeze into the end zone at least one time.
To wrap up this week 7 outlook I will give you the top wavier wire pick ups. I'll start with Malcom Floyd of the San Diego Chargers. No one has been giving him respect this season, and I'm not exactly sure why. He is putting up great numbers even as a number two wide receiver and is a great pick up for the rest of the season. Niles Paul of the Red Skins is another player who could help your team for this week and probably only this week since his partner is coming back next week and will be taking over. This week however play Niles Paul because it seems that Quarterback Kurt Cousins really likes to throw to his tight ends. Other names to keep in mind this week are Jace Amaro (TE), Brian Hartline (WR), Jarvis Landry (WR), and Devonta Freeman (RB).
Thank you for reading, and may the odds be ever so in your favor my fellow fantasy football players.

Fantasy Football Now: Oct. 7, 2014
My blog will be changing its content starting this week. I am sorry if any of you are bummed that the Crazy Camper will not be resuming, but the information unfortunately I thought I could write about is too inside joke like to explain in great detail. So from now on I will be writing about Fantasy Football each week. Which will include topics like who to start if you are in a league, who to sit, who to pick up on the waiver wires and who I personally like as a player over all. I hope that those of you with a Fantasy Football team will find these post to be a good source of information, and I guess for those of you were this topic doesn't affect your life, well heck, maybe you have a crush on the New York Jets wide receiver (WR) and wouldn't mind hearing how he's doing.
To start of week 6 of the season I would like to talk about what running backs (RB) you should start or sit. The first player that I really like is Justin Forsett of the Baltimore Ravens in his matchup against a every week Tampa Bay defense. If you are playing in a points per reception league or otherwise known as PPR, Fosett is a guarantee start. Look for him to have at least 10 catches and a handful of rushing downs. Other players you may want to keep in mind this week are Eddie Lacy, Ahmad Bradshaw, and the return of Ben Tate, all have good matchups in week 6.
Running backs you may want to avoid this week are Doug Martin who faces a strong defensive line in Baltimore, Zach Stacy who is coming off an injury and has to go against the #4 ranked 49ers defense, an finally the running back who I dislike the most this week is Darren Sproles. I know he has started the year off strong but lately he's been lacking in the unique passing game we are used to seeing him in, he is also running behind a weak offensive line and has to split many carries with his teammate LeSean McCoy. If you have Sproles I'd advise you to avoid playing him unless you are counting on lucky points from a punt return like he is known for.
Moving into to the Quarterback (QB) position now I have some interesting players that you may want to consider starting over you number one QB this week if he has been less than pleasing to your team. The first name I want to throw at you is Eli Manning of the New York Giants, who has come out of know where as a quality quarterback. He plays an awful defensive back field this week from the Philadelphia Eagles and I predict he will throw for at least 2 touchdowns and over 300 yards, and who wouldn't with players like Larry Donnell and Victor Cruz. One other player who has been on my radar lately is Austin Davis of the St. Louis Rams, he has established himself as a touchdown throwing, fire ball passing machine. I know you may be iffy of the rookie and only his third game as a starter, although when you are throwing to a WR like Brian Quick who has been his favorite target, its hard not to trust him. Look to add these players to your roster and possibly even start over your current quarterback for this week.
And I will end my week 6 fantasy outlook like I plan to every week with the wavier wire pick ups of the week. These are the guys who could potential change you team around and add some significant points to your overall score. My first man that I see has a need to pick up player is Branden Oliver of the San Diego Chargers, he is coming off a great week where he ran all over a NYJ defense who is one of the top in the league right now, and with all the injuries the chargers has faced this year at the running back position he is considered a number one on the depth chart and has earned that spot after a fantastic outbreak this week. Another player you should look for is Mohamed Sanu if he is available. Granted he is a number two WR to a terrific player like AJ Green, but lately he has been seeing a lot more snaps all over the field. Whether he is catching passes, lining up as a RB, or even throwing touchdowns, it has become clear that Cincinnati likes to use him in multiple roles, and when a team that is 3-1 is doing that you should plan to at least add him to your bench and wait to play him in his break out week. To finish I leave you with these names to look up, Andre Williams (RB) of the New York Giants, Michael Floyd (WR) of the Arizona Cardinals, and finally if you are in deeper formatted leagues where players are hard to come by, Benjamin Cunningham (RB) of the St. Louis Rams.

The Crazy Campers Guide: Colman or nothing
When it comes to camping supplies, try to avoid any brand names that compare to Big Daddy Gear. Our group has went through every type of camping equipment that you could think of. Whether it be something as little as marshmallow sticks to outdoor camping bars. Over the years we have went come to a standard regulation when it comes to shopping for gear. Always but Coleman!
If you don't know the company Coleman, then you are missing out. If you do know them... money well spent my friend. When you are in the store you will see all sorts of brands, and let me tell you, they never last! Those brands are kind of like that place that keeps getting new Chinese restaurants, but they never stay. One of the worst cases I have personally had with a brand was called Big Daddy Gear. The store was advertising this huge sale on giant chairs made by Big Daddy. In the store I took a seat in one and thought it was the best thing ever! I felt like a king on his throne. So I begged my mother and she finally gave up and bought me one. The next camping trip I was ready to show it off, so that night at the camp fire I got it out and staked my calm and sat proud. If you have ever been around a camp fire you know that embers fly through the air and land on you or your chair as the wood crackles in the fire. Anyways as the night went on embers flew past me and I was leaning forward so didn't really take any consideration on where they were landing. After I while I leaned back in to the sit and fell straight on the ground. It turned out there was no back to my chair, it had been burned away, almost like it denigrated in to thin air. Which may have explained the plastic smell. My throne had been conquered and my dreams diminished. Mr. Leibs began laughing aloud, making fun of the chair, and stating that it was nothing like the Coleman chairs that all the dads had sat in for years. And that was the truth, nothing was as great as those Coleman chairs, our group praised them like trophies. They had lasted us 10 years at that point and are still kicking around the fire to this day. They fit your but snug, suit as a bed when the stars come out, and fit two easily. Nothing like a Coleman!
A Coleman made product may cost a fair share more, and may have your wallet crying. But in the long run you will have a quality item that will last you for years. Do not trust the grips of Big Daddy, you will be less than pleased. Go with a Coleman, and sit with a smile on your face.
